Pride and Prejudice
Troy and Sparta fight once again
Charlotte's POV
We arrive at home, all pretty tired, but none of us is ready to go to bed. It’s pretty early yet, and we haven’t done anything but eating. I open the door and let the guys come in. They throw their bags on the couch and Louis gets into the kitchen, looking for something to eat or drink certainly.
‘Char, do you have ice cream?’
‘Maybe… Open the first drawer from the bottom of the freezer, above the fridge, it should be there.’
‘Is there only vanilla? Don’t you have chocolate?’
‘Nope, you know I don’t like it!’
‘Well I do! You should buy a pot or two someday!’ I chuckle at his comment
‘Why don’t you do it, you’re the one liking it. I’m not going to buy things I don’t like Lou! But nice try though!’
I can hear him growling in the kitchen. He sounds like Grumpy sometimes, this is so cute! We’ve been shouting all across the flat, since I’m in my room, and Louis’s in the kitchen, the living room between the two of us. My neighbours are certainly making a voodoo doll with my face on it. I plug my phone into the charger and try to tidy my room a little bit. It feels good to be alone for a few minutes, in my quiet room. I don’t spend a lot of time there anymore, I work a lot, and i only come back here to sleep and eat, whenever I don’t eat at restaurants or else. I remember when I was at home, back in France, when I used to spend entire afternoons watching movies and series. Those were days!
‘Do you want to watch telly? There’s Troy, you know with Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt.’ Liam’s head pops in the doorway.
‘Yes, I’m in!’ I throw my clothes on my bed, gather them all together, and put them quickly on the armchair. They’ve already been waiting several days; a few more hours won’t kill my clothes! Orlando can’t wait!
Louis and Liam are already on the couch, leaving a little spot between them.
‘I made popcorn, I hope you don’t mind.’
‘No, it’s a great idea! Thanks!’
‘Like you’re between the two of us, can you take the bowl pleaaaaaase?’ Louis makes his puppy eyes. He’s not even as cute as the Boot Cat in Shrek even though he keeps trying. But it’s still funny.
‘I don’t think that I have the choice, but I appreciate that you asked though!’ I fall on the couch like a whale on the beach between them. I hear them growling, which makes me smile.
‘Oh my god, this guy is gorgeously handsome!’ I’m almost dribble over Orlando Bloom’s beauty. This is his first appearance in the movie, which was shot 10 years ago. He was pretty young, even though he looks quite the same now. He’s always seemed young, he’s the kind of man that has a “baby face”, kind of. I know it could kill a man’s ego to hear that, but that’s true though!
‘I think the guy that plays Hector is more handsome.’
‘Louis?! How can you say that?! Have you seen Brad in this film?! He’s just incredibly hot!’
‘He’s fake! His hair doesn’t seem to be natural, while this guy s completely natural, and he seems so… nice and wise!’
I listen to their talk completely speechless. I never thought that one day, I’d hear one of them speaking about that, let alone the both of them! I should be filming this, or the guys will never trust me! I try to reach my phone discreetly in my pocket, but my jeans are quite skinny, and I have the guys by my both sides. I don’t want them to notice, so I’m pretty slow.
‘Cm’on Louis, you can’t tell me that Pitt isn’t amazing! He worked out a lot to look lke ths, look at his muscles!’
‘That’s all this is about! He worked out, he let his hair grow strangely! This isn’t completely him!’
‘Please, don’t tell me you think that this Eric Bana has naturally long curly hair! He worked out too, but the character he’s playing is less strong than Achilles!’
They’re alsmost shouting at each other, and I can finally record the argument. I wish my phone wasn’t so slow! It could be already done by the time! Here we go.
‘This is what cinema is about Liam! They play characters that don’t look like them, where’s the fun if they’re not a little bit different? Would you seriously go to theaters to watch Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie feeding their six kids? But what I’m saying is that he looks a little bit too much fake for my liking. But this is my opinion, my taste, you don’t need to agree.’ Louis ends his sentence by watching the movie again.
‘Ladies, can we please go back the Trojan War?’
‘But I’ve got to say that I agree Leeyum, Brad is pretty damn hot!’ Liam laughs at his band mate’s comment, and I am relieved that they’re not really mad at each other.
I’m also really happy that I have recorded the last sentence of Tomlinson. Well,don’t have the whole conversation, I missed the beginning, but I have enough to proof what I just attended to. It’s going to be amazing; I can’t wait to see the other’s reactions!
‘I don’t want to be Achilles’s enemy!’ Louis adds, taking a handful of pop corn
‘Neither do I!’ Liam seems to be a 5 year-old boy, scared by a horror movie.
‘Agamemnon is such a son of a b-’ Louis and Liam block my mouth together before I’ve got time to say the b word.
‘Mind your language young innocent girl. He’s just a king, who’s trying to expand his kingdom. Of course he is a fucking bastard!’ Lou’s sudden change of vocabulary and behaviour makes us laugh.
We spent the rest of the movie making comments about Rose Byrne’s beauty and Andromache’s dignity, I tell them about the reaction of Priam, king of Troy, when Hector’s body is taken away by Achilles.
‘Hector’s dead, it’s quite alright, because he fought and died in dignity. But what Achilles is doing, dragging away his body like that, is the worst thing he could have done. In the Ancient Greek, it’s a terrible thing not having funerals. Achilles is preventing Priam from giving Hector proper funerals… Look at his face! It’s so sad…’
‘I never noticed that…’ Liam is moved by the grief you can read on Priam’s face. Who wouldn’t be though? Ths guy is a great actor!
By the end of the film, we’re all fast asleep. I think the pop corn fell of my knees 5 minutes ago, but I’m not quite sure… I’ll see tomorrow.
