it was a very strange thing. all the tabloids said that marlon brando was the sweetest, most thoughtful man in hollywood. he was charming, shy - yet outgoing - ambitious and intelligent. and, sure, he was all of those things...to the public.

you didn't know what you and marlon were. he would sometimes show up during the late hours in the night, in need of a drink or a meal. he never spoke of your relationship to the public, and always told you to keep your mouth shut about it. sometimes, he would go a week or two without a word.

he drove you mad. yet, you found yourself letting him back consistently - as if he is going to change. there was always that flicker of hope in your soul. only, it didn't last very long each time.

it was nearing midnight, you were staying up to watch a few of your favorite films in the living room. being so invested in the film, you barely heard the knocking coming from the front door.
