Thank you for reviewing. I hope you would enjoy that new chapter.
Chapter 4: A work meeting
It was friday and she was waiting for Tristan in front of the library. He was late as usual. She was frightened to have that meeting with him. She feared that they would be embarrassed or they would quarell. And she knew she should apologize for her declaration before summer.
Finally he arrived. She could read on his face that it was quite difficult for him too. He has lost his usual cockiness and seemed stressed. She wondered why.
"Rory, I'm sorry for my being late. I was saying goodbye to Holly"
Ah yeah!Holly... the flavour of the week. She had seen them lips locked all day long. Perhaps he was in love with her..That thought didn't please her but she didn't know why.Anyway they had to study.They sat in the empty library and began to talk on the subject.
" So, Rory, which characters did you pick?"
" I was tempted to pick Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler"
"Why? According to me, they don't fit to the example of Romeo and Juliet. Their families are not opposed to their wedding and Scarlett can't be compared to a Juliet. She doesn't have her innocence and I picture her as somebody rather egoistic. She wouldn't certainly kill herself on account of the loss of her lover"
" I don't agree on your criteria. We don't have to choose characters which are exactly alike Shakespeare's lovers. And Rhett and Scarlet are definitely interesting. They don't have the same background."
" You're wrong: they come from the same celter. Rhett was brought up by a great family in Charleston.He was taught to be a perfect gentleman but he rejected that millenar mould.And I don't think that their love story is so beautiful. It's rather pitiful."
"Pitiful?"
"Yeah, he was desperately in love with her but she didn't realize she felt the same ant that the man she was pursuing was the wrong one.She was too blind for that."
" I can't understand why she acted like that."
" You can't? That's funny, I would have believed you were the right person to get such a behaviour!"
"Why? What do you mean?"She was lost. She didn't understand why he was talking with such a passion about those characters. As he was being a part of that plot..She would never have pictured him as the kind of guy to be so involved in a novel"
" So, Tristan, what did you take?"
" The way we were with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford. I think they are very different and in spite of that, they try to experience their passion and finally, they have to give up.They don't die on a physical level like Romeo and Juliet but you can see at the end, that they are torn. They have to live separate but they are still in love."
She didn't answer. She was under his charm. She didn't know he had that culture and that sensibility. She was discovering an ew aspect of her personality. The silence was lastinf for at least ten minutes.
" You are schocked, Rory? Astonished? Perplex? The complete jerk seems to have culture"
" Tristan, I never thought you were a jerk.."
" Yeah, it's my turn to be astonished..."
" It's just you seemed more interested in girls than in movies or books."
" You are still so naive. You don't perceive that people are more sometimes than what they show. Anyway, it's better if we just drop that conversation. Do you agree on The way we were? It's better if we pick that film. I'm pretty sure that the others will take literar examples for fear of failing"
"ok, what time is it? I think I should leave because I have a dinner at my grandma's "
" Seven o'clock. I can offer you a lift"
"That would be great"
The ride was silencious. He was going to leave when she said" I'm really sorry, Tristan"
" I know, Mary. See you"
He had said Mary. Finally!
