As the carnival atmosphere of Halloween continued until the early morning, Simon drove Sandra back to her apartment in West Hollywood before driving the two women back to Montana.
It is already late at night, and the pumpkin lanterns of all sizes are still lit outside the villa.
Simon parked the SUV and the two women got out of the back seat.
Catherine's and Janet's cars were parked nearby. However, after Janet got out of the car, she held Catherine's arm tightly, stared at Simon with bright eyes, and had no intention of leaving and returning to Malibu.
Simon just smiled, complied with Janet's wishes, looked at Catherine and said: "It's already very late, Catherine, if you don't mind, you can stay tonight."
Catherine's expression was still hesitant, but Janet had already pulled her towards the door: "Kate, let's sleep in the same room tonight, my new big bed." After saying this, Janet suddenly remembered something and turned around and said : "Hey, little boy, I seem to have forgotten to prepare dental equipment. You can drive and buy some. Also, shower gel, shampoo, oh, towels, I also need a few towels."
Simon watched Catherine being dragged into the villa by Janet, shrugged, and opened the car door again.
He rushed to a nearby 24-hour convenience store and hurriedly bought a lot of daily necessities and handed them over to the two women. After Simon also washed himself, he quickly rested.
In another bedroom of the villa.
Catherine came out of the shower and gently arranged her freshly dried hair with her hands. She saw Janet hugging a pillow on the big bed and staring closely at the door. She asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Janet squeezed the soft pillow into her arms, opened her eyes wide, looked at Catherine seriously, and said: "Kate, if the little bastard comes to attack at night, I will block it, you must hurry up run."
Catherine couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you need me to call the police?"
Janet immediately shook her head: "Of course not."
Catherine walked to the bed, pulled back the quilt, sat on it, and said, "Okay, Jenny, it's already very late, go to sleep. Simon won't come to attack you at night."
"Well..." Janet lay down on the bed with a distressed look on her face, turned over, leaned next to Catherine, and said, "I'm just worried. What if he doesn't come to attack me at night?"
Catherine stretched out her hand to help Janet tidy up her somewhat messy blond hair. She still had a smile on her face and said, "Then you can only go there by yourself."
"Actually," Janet rubbed her head against Catherine and said, "I just went over to take a look, and the little bastard locked the bedroom door."
Catherine reached out and touched Janet's face and said, "Jenny, you have chased Simon closely enough. If you continue like this, you may scare him away."
"It's hard to fall in love with a man, of course you have to watch him carefully," Janet said, then added: "Okay, let him go tonight."
Catherine reached out to turn off the lights in the room, took off her bathrobe and lay down on the bed, saying, "Then, go to sleep."
Janet also rustled for a while and shrank into the quilt.
Then, continue to rustle, rustle.
After a moment, a small hand reached out towards Catherine.
Catherine grabbed Janet's restless arm and said, "What's wrong?"
In the darkness, Janet whispered: "Kate, please hold it for me."
Catherine was a little confused. When she realized what she was doing, she smiled and casually held Janet's wrist and said, "Okay, I'm not as strong as Simon."
"Uh huh huh."
Although Catherine didn't exert any force at all, Janet still hummed a few times as if a sensitive point had been touched, looking very satisfied.
Then it finally quieted down.
Seeing that Janet stopped talking, Catherine suddenly lost much sleepiness.
Although.
but.
if.
If he really breaks in, does he really have to run away quickly
But.
What if he caught himself first
With such a strong guy, surely he can't escape
What should we do then
With all kinds of thoughts flying around like this, Catherine suddenly became even more sleepless. Jenny definitely didn’t lock the bedroom door, so why don’t you get out of bed and lock the door.
Want it
Or not
Unknowingly, a small hand touched her again, startling Catherine who was immersed in her thoughts.
Janet spoke first this time: "Kate, you can't sleep either, right?"
Catherine pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "If you hadn't caused trouble, I would have almost fallen asleep."
"Haha," Janet chuckled a few times, her voice became low, and said: "Kate, actually I can see that the little bastard has a crush on you."
Catherine's mind suddenly became more distracted and said: "Stop talking nonsense, you two are okay, but it is impossible for me, Simon and I."
Catherine studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, then moved to New York. After working for a few years, she re-applied for a master's degree in film at Columbia University. She and Janet met at Columbia when Janet was an undergraduate.
Therefore, although Janet is still older than Simon, the two are still well matched.
As for herself, Catherine sighed secretly in her heart. She was a person who was absolutely unwilling to accommodate, and the several relationships she had tried over the years had all ended in vain. If you can't find a suitable partner, you will remain single.
Occasionally I even think that I might stay single forever.
Then, this year, I suddenly met two pretty good men. However, she was the first to get married, and during this time, she had completely given up some of her thoughts. As for the other one, it seems even more impossible.
It seems that I am really destined to be single all my life.
Catherine thought with some self-pity, but Janet heard her words and said: "Kate, do you think that little bastard will care about his temperament? However, this is my first time falling in love with a man, so don't go with me Can I grab it?"
Catherine nodded, tried to make her tone more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Okay."
"I knew you were the best to me, Kate." Janet suddenly came over and hugged the woman next to her, and then said, "Actually, as long as you don't fight with me, you two can secretly carry It’s okay for me to do bad things.”
Catherine was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "Me and I won't do that."
Janet immediately responded: "Yeah, yeah, this is best."
So, the bedroom was quiet for a while.
After a while, Catherine couldn't help but said: "Jenny, you, can you tolerate your man doing bad things behind your back?"
Janet responded without hesitation: "Yeah."
"But, how can this be allowed?"
"why not?"
Why
What a strange question.
Something seems wrong
Catherine looked at the dark room and said calmly: "It shouldn't be possible in the first place. Shouldn't a man and woman who love each other be loyal to each other?"
"Of course," Janet nodded, and then said: "However, loyalty and desire are two completely different things. The man I like is so outstanding, of course there can't be only one woman. Which outstanding one have you seen? A man can only have one woman in his life?"
Catherine thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Probably, there should be a lot, right?"
"Either you don't know about the people you are thinking of, or they are just superficial," Janet said with certainty: "Anyway, it is definitely impossible for my man to only have one woman."
Listening to Janet's words, Catherine suddenly remembered the 'domestic violence theory' that she had talked about with her a few days ago, and suddenly felt that she should not continue the discussion with this girl, otherwise she might be led astray.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Catherine couldn't help but said: "So, you, will you tell him that you don't care about his cheating?"
"Of course not, I'm not a fool," Janet said immediately: "And if he does this and I find out, I will definitely be very angry."
"Then what?"
"Then, drive away the woman I discovered."
Catherine paused again and said again: "Jenny, it's not good for you to be like this. Think about it, if the man you like falls in love with another woman because of this and insists on breaking up with you, what will you do then?"
Janet's little hands caressed Catherine's body very gently, and said quietly: "God will forgive him."
"Um?"
Janet repeated in a whisper: "God will forgive him."
Catherine was very puzzled and asked: "What about you?"
Janet's tone was still dark and she said: "I don't know how."
Catherine was still full of doubts, but she just patted Janet gently like an elder sister and said, "Okay, I really don't understand you."
The early morning sunlight unknowingly broke into the cracks in the bedroom curtains.
Perhaps it was because she was sleeping in an unfamiliar environment. Although she fell asleep very late last night, Catherine still woke up early.
Janet was still sleeping beside her. Catherine looked at her for a few times, then quietly got out of bed, washed up, and walked out of the bedroom.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning.
I wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare some food for everyone, but unexpectedly found that Simon was already sitting in the dining room, reading a newspaper while eating, and there was a pencil on the dining table.
"Good morning, Catherine." Seeing her appear, Simon stood up and said, "Want to eat? I made breakfast and was just thinking about whether to wake you up."
"Morning," Catherine gestured to Simon and said, "I'll do it myself."
After going to the kitchen and sharing a portion of breakfast, Catherine sat down next to Simon and asked, "Are you going to Fox Studios today?"
Simon nodded: "Yes, I should be able to cut out the first rough cut in the next two days."
Catherine said: "Actually, you can take a rest. Today is Halloween after all, and it's still the weekend."
"Oh, when the film is finished, there will definitely be a lot of rest time," Simon said, picking up the pencil on the table and making a mark on the newspaper in front of him.
Catherine noticed Simon's movements, glanced over curiously, and asked, "What are you doing?"
