Sing to me

The story of one toilet

      "How foolish, how utterly foolish," Kate said sorrowfully, banging her forehead against the closed door of the restroom stall.       This morning, when she came to work at her best friend's place, Kate never expected such an outcome or embarrassment. It was more of an embarrassment because not everyone manages to get stuck in the restroom stall of the men's restroom on the set of a popular TV series.       Having dropped by her friend's work for just five minutes to pick up invitations to her wedding, Kate, on the way back, looked into the toilet. Naturally, first to the women's. But, as usually happens, all the women's toilet stalls were occupied. In order not to be late for work, the girl decided to check the men's toilet and was right - all the stalls in this toilet were free.       Rejoicing at her luck, Kate wanted to quickly finish her business and go to work. But fate wanted to play a trick on her. When she went to vacate the occupied stall in the men's restroom, the door wouldn't budge. As in the most shameful nightmares, the door jammed. Having pushed and tugged the handle a couple of times, Kate wanted to call her friend, but, according to the law of meanness, she dropped the phone into the toilet and it stopped working. Ask how? After all, all phones in the modern world are protected from moisture, etc., etc... Kate also had this question in her head at that moment.       After inspecting the cabin, the girl realized that there were no windows or openings in the door through which she could try to squeeze through.       "How foolish..." Kate groaned again, banging her forehead against the damn cabin door.

      When Henry Cavill arrived at work this morning, he didn't expect to find a girl stuck in a stall in the men's restroom.       As usual, with a mug of hot coffee, he was heading to the filming location, but on the way he decided to look into the lawyers’ office, because they asked him to come up and sign some more papers. Having dealt with this matter quite quickly, Henry felt the call of nature and headed to the nearest toilet.       Entering it, he quickly relieved himself and began washing his hands when suddenly a woman's voice was heard:       "Excuse me..."       Taken aback, Cavill looked around, not understanding where the woman's voice could be coming from.       "Sorry," the melodic voice repeated, "I need your help."       At that moment, Kate wanted to simply disappear from embarrassment, but getting out of the stall was her priority, so she continued:       "I'm stuck in here, the door, well, it got jammed..."       "Ahh," Henry said shortly, turning off the water.       "I'm in the far stall, by the wall... I would be very grateful if you could help me get out."       Smiling to himself at this awkward situation, Cavill went to the desired booth and pulled the door. It was not possible to free the captive the first time. When Henry pulled the door with all his strength for the fourth time, it finally gave way.       Shyly lowering her eyes, a girl with chestnut hair emerged from there, clutching a stack of some ceremonial paper to her chest.       "How are you?" Henry asked, looking at the girl up and down.       "It could be better," Kate replied languidly and looked up.       Henry Cavill stood in front of her. British actor, the main character of the series “The Witcher” and just a very handsome man. She asked her friend a couple of times to introduce her to Cavill, but she just brushed it off, saying that if she and her favorite actor were destined to meet, they would meet without her help.       And, simultaneously to Kate's joy and regret, they met. In the men's restroom. When she got stuck in the stall.       "I'm glad you're okay," Henry smiled.       He had seen the girl standing in front of him leave the same building several times before. At first he thought that she worked here, but after asking the security guard, he found out that she came to see her friend on some business.       She immediately caught the man's attention. She had a sweet round face, wavy chestnut hair and a delicate figure. He wanted to hug her and never let her go, to protect her from the whole world.       “My name is Henry,” the man said, extending his hand to the girl.       “I'm Kate,” blushing like a lobster, Kate replied.       “Can I ask for your phone number?” Cavill asked, taking out his mobile phone from his pocket. “If you don't mind, I would like to call you sometime, just to make sure you didn't get stuck in another men's restroom.”       “Um, yes,” Kate could only manage to say, feeling disbelief at what was happening.       Fate?       Only one question arose in the rescued girl's mind.
