The whole story, the character, lived deep within me. Now, he wants to talk about himself and his feeling. Some similarities are coincidental.

I'm sitting at the kitchen, drinking tea and reading «TIME» magazine at the same time. Bella walks in and says:

‘ Hi, Frankie. ’

I put my mug aside and looked at Bella, she was smiling at me and i squinted my eyes at her. That's what she called me after the production of «One Master and Five Cats». It was the production that Bella came to see. I played a white cat named Frankie, in one little theater. But my name is Jake. I was hesitant whether to play the part and yet i decided to do it.

‘ It was a great role, ’ Bella continued.

‘ Maybe you're right, ’ I say.

‘ So you're famous, ’ Bella said with a slight smile.

‘ Famous, but still not reaching the heights I dream of. ’

Taking a mug of tea I thought again.

I want to tell you a little bit about myself. Ever since I was kid, I've been different from others, like white paint caught in black paint. I am originally from New York City, the fourth child in my family, sometimes with mood swings. And yet there is a sense that I am not where I should be. There are times when I find it hard to communicate with Bella. So she's been talking for over two hours about how to eat right and take care of her skin. But when she gets a text message on her phone, she stops talking.
