*Meryl's POV*
- Calm down my dear.- Don touches my face.- everything will be fine.
I can't stop shaking.
- Lets give a strong welcome to the 2 times academy award winner, Meryl Streep!.- Ellen shouts.
I walk in smiling, I kiss Ellen and I sit down, people are screaming my name.
- Meryl well, we are really happy to have you here again!.- she says.
- Yes!, I'm also so happy for being back.
- Just a week ago, some pictures of Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan and you were published in magazines, you were a little... lets say happy.- she smiles.- guess you've taken this with humor.
I start to laugh.- The truth is that I didn't take it well at first but hey, it's the most normal thing in the world, they are my friends and we decided to have a drink but we really had a lot of alcohol.- I cover my face with the hands.
- It usually happens, right?. The photos also caused a stir because long time ago, after 'Mamma Mia!', people used to say that Pierce and you were more than friends...
- Buah, Pierce and I are just good friends. He's married, and I love my husband Don. It's silly.- My stomach hurts, I'm not a good liar in these cases.
- So nice!. You're nominated AGAIN for the film 'The Iron Lady' at the academy award. It's your seventeenth time, you have broken a record!. How do you feel?.- she finally changes the theme of the conversation.
- Great! The truth is that it's an honor.
The interview continues talking about 'The Iron Lady' and my next projects. They also put lips of people I have kissed and I had to guess who were they. Ellen is fantastic, she always makes me forget about my problems.
I go directly to find Don after the interview.
- How was it?.- I ask nervous.
- Fantastic!.
- I have to go to the makeup and hairdressing meeting for the film.- I look the floor.
- Meryl, keep your chin up, I trust you.- he says kissing me.
The driver leaves me in the recording studio. I call Madison, she's already inside.
The elevator door is closing but someone stops it putting a hands. It's Pierce.
- Hi Meryl.- he kisses me near the lips.- I just saw your interview, best actress ever as people say... You left without saying bye the other day.
- Thanks, I guess. You were asleep.- I laugh.- what did your wife say about the photos?.
- Nothing, she lives her life and I live mine.
We're finally in our floor. Madison appears in front of us. She greets me and leads me to the area of hairdressing.
- You did well before.- she whispers.
- Yeah...
The director comes to me.
- Hey Meryl, we have three hairstyles prepared for your character. We are going to try them and you decide, ok?.
- Of course, great.- I smile.
The young hairdresser is so fast and in an hour I've tryed everyone, the three of them are amazing but I love wavy hair so I decide to wear the first one.
- You are an expert!.- I say to the girl.
- Ohh thank you, it's an honor hearing that from you.- she's so shy.
She drives me to a man, he's the photographer. He's taking some pictures of me with the hairstyle.
I'm talking with Madison when one door opens and I see a girl. Blond, really pretty.
- Wait, that's Grace!.- I approach to her.- What are you doing here honey?.
- Working maybe?.
- What?.
- Didn't the director say it to you?. I don't think so. Well, they gave me a role in this film.
- That's great!.- I lie.
No, that's not great. I have my lover and my daughter in the same film. I wanna die.
- Yes.- she looks angry.
- Who are you?.- I ask curious.
- Liam's lover.
I can't believe it, too much for me. Someone has put a hand in my shoulder.
- OMG!.- I shout.
- Meryl!.
- No...
- Yes...
- No!.
- Yes!.
- Julianne! What are you doing here!?. Are you in the film too?.
- Yes! It's fantastic, isn't it?. I'll be your character's best friend.
- Amazing.- I smile.
- Guys!. Come here.- the director says.
Everyone stands around him, Julianne, Liam and Pierce. Grace, Madison and me. There are some people I don't know and the hairdresser also.
- Do you have any doubt?.- he asks.
A lot, but they aren't adequate.
When I read the script I loved it. The story is very dramatic, I am a woman 100% in love with her husband, Liam, but he has to go to Cuba. He meets a girl who could be my daughter, indeed, she is. The girl gets pregnant and I go to Cuba without permission. I discover what happens, I ask for the divorce and I come back home. My best friend, who is Julianne, helps me. I meet a wonderful man, Pierce, and I begin a new life.
So nice, amazing. I'll have to kiss the same man as Grace, I will have to film some scenes 'fucking' with my lover in front of Gracie and I will have to shut up and do it.
