The rushing light rain tapped on the window, like a singer singing in a low voice. Natalie leaned on the windowsill and looked into the distance. The whole Big Apple was covered with a hazy curtain, and the tall buildings in the distance looked gray in the rain. Yes, the branches on both sides of the street swayed gently in the wind, giving people a cold feeling.
The girl shrank her neck subconsciously, then rubbed her hands again, and then came to her senses. She shook her head with a smile, and after stretching a lot, she left the window sill and walked to the side of the bed. Suddenly, she jumped back and fell on her back. He got on the bed, let out a long breath, and rolled over for a while with the quilt in his arms like a child.
Just go home. Natalie buried her face in the pillow and sighed contentedly. Although she was not tired in the past few days promoted in Europe, no matter how soft or soft the hotel bed is, it is still not as good as at home.
At this time, my mother's voice came from downstairs: "Nat! Dad is back."
"I'm here." Natalie quickly jumped up from the bed and ran downstairs quickly. Shirley helped her husband take off his wet jacket and walked away knowingly, while Avner smiled and stretched out his hands :"Hi, baby."
"I miss you so much, Dad." Natalie threw herself into her father's arms with a smile, and stuck her face with him: "I'm so sorry you didn't come with us."
"I'm sorry too, my dear, I believe you must have a great time." Avner smiled and hugged his daughter, then sat on the sofa and took a sip of his wife's coffee.
"Not bad, we went to Trafalgar Square in London, the National Concert Hall in Amsterdam, and apart from Paris, the French journalists seemed to have an extraordinary enthusiasm for Nat." Shirley said with a shrug.
"It's not surprising, the French always think that it is romantic to let women be boldly naked in movies." Obviously, Avner was still dissatisfied with the scene in which Luc Besson asked Natalie to be nearly naked. He looked at his daughter: "Nothing unpleasant happened, right?"
"Well... Except you're not around." Natalie squeezed her chin, pretending to be thinking, and then said.
"Okay, okay, I promise not to break my promise next time." Avner laughed, he didn't see it, and a sigh flashed in his daughter's eyes.
The whole propaganda process was nothing, except for the occasional reporter who would ask about the "false report", although the matter has passed, Natalie always feels that there is a thorn in her heart, she is not resentful, it is just the first time on the big screen It's not a happy thing to be attacked like this on a performance, even if the other party quickly apologized.
However, now is not the time to talk about this. Natalie threw these out temporarily, ran back to the bedroom and took out the gift she bought for her father. Warm.
When it rains, it always gets dark very quickly, and Shirley will go to prepare dinner in a short time. Avner said a few more words to her daughter, and then plans to go to the study to read.
"You can watch TV, but it won't be long, okay?" said the father, who stood up and patted his daughter's head.
"Well, I'd better go back to my room and read." Natalie thought for a while and said.
"Okay, it's up to you." Father shrugged, and at this moment, the doorbell rang Ding Dong Ding Dong. Natalie stood up immediately: "I'll open the door."
She walked quickly to the door and opened it with a click. Just as she was about to ask who you were looking for, she was stunned. Outside the door, under a cartoon umbrella decorated with Snoopy puppies, stood a beautiful girl.
"Hey, Nat!" She smiled, her eyes gleaming with eagerness, though a chill came out of her mouth.
"Angie?!" Natalie cried out in surprise, and all kinds of feelings flooded up for a while. She was about to ask you why you are here, and suddenly found the other person's body trembling slightly. Looking closely, she was only wearing three clothes!
"God! Why are you wearing so little! Come into the room." Natalie shouted again in surprise, and hurriedly greeted her into the room.
A smile appeared on Angela's slightly pale face, she turned back and waved to the car parked on the street, put away the cartoon umbrella and entered the room with Natalie.
"Angie? Is that you?" Avner, who had not yet entered the study, asked in astonishment like her daughter, and at the same time, Xue Li, who heard the sound, came out of the kitchen.
"How are you? Mr. Hessreg, Mrs. Hessreg." The girl greeted the couple with a smile. She finally couldn't hold back, rubbed her arms and said with a wry smile: "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect the temperature in Los Angeles to be so different from New York."
"You should be glad that it's raining outside, not snowing, or you'll freeze to death!" Natalie, who helped her put away her umbrella, said angrily, and no one could hear the distress in her tone - including herself .
She poured a cup of hot water and stuffed it into Angela's hand, while helping her rub her arm: "Drink some hot first, and I'll find you some clothes later."
"Thank you, Nat," the girl said gratefully, "don't worry, Mr. Frye will bring the clothes in a while."
Saying that, she smiled a little embarrassedly: "As soon as I heard the news that you would be coming in Los Angeles... Well, I came here by flight and I was in a hurry, so I didn't bring many clothes."
"You mean you just flew over from Los Angeles?" Natalie looked at her in disbelief.
"Yes, you know, what happened last time..." Angela stopped here and just looked Natalie in the eyes.
"Sherry, honey, I think we still have things to do," Avner said suddenly, and made a gesture to his wife.
"Yes, I have to prepare dinner." Shirley nodded knowingly, thought for a while and then said, "Angie, will you stay for dinner?"
"Happy, Mrs. Hesregard." Angela agreed immediately.
After watching her parents go back to their rooms, Natalie shrugged and dragged Angela upstairs: "Let's go to my room, I still have to give you clothes when Mr. Fry brings you clothes. Find something to wear first."
After the two came to the bedroom upstairs together, Natalie quickly found a pink down jacket with a hat and put it on her: "Okay, now you should feel better, right?"
"Yes, at least it's much warmer in the house than outside." Angela rubbed her hands and rubbed her face, then made a face at Natalie, and Natalie immediately vomited in color tongue, and then both girls laughed.
"Maybe I should advise Dad to put some clothes on the plane." Angela couldn't help but sigh.
"What?" Natalie didn't hear clearly.
"Ah... It's nothing, I mean I should prepare appropriate clothes wherever I go in the future." The girl explained covertly, then hesitated, and finally asked the question in her heart: "Nat, you still take it to heart. Is it?"
"Take it to your heart? What to take care of?" Natalie asked strangely, but she immediately reacted, and after a moment of silence, she asked softly, "Did you fly here on purpose for this?"
Angela didn't answer and just looked at her, but the slightly trembling hand holding the edge of the down jacket betrayed her mood.
"Angie, I want to say that although that report really made me sad when it first came out, I didn't care after they publicly apologized." Natalie said, and suddenly sighed: "Okay, I Admit it, I still feel sick to this day, but trust me, Angie, I have absolutely no intention of blaming you or anyone else."
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Angela suddenly raised her head: "No! It's not like that, Nat! No!" Her face was flushed, and she didn't know whether it was because she was warm or excited.
"You know what? Nat, after this happened, I was so scared, I was scared that you would ignore me, I was scared that you would be hit and devastated, I never thought it would make such a big mess, I knew I didn't I'm not going to get involved in this damn thing, I should just go with the flow, I've been waiting for news from you, so when you came back I followed because I was scared, very, very scared, Nat... I'm scared of losing you ."
Natalie didn't fully understand what Angela was saying, but looking at the emerald green eyes full of anxiety and sincerity, she couldn't help but feel a burning emotion entangled in her, and then deeply penetrated into her heart, It made it jump madly.
She looked at Angela who was so close in front of her, she was so close that she was almost touching face to face, but she didn't back down or dodge, as if possessed by magic, she kept her eyes facing each other. It looked like, the bedroom returned to tranquility again after Angela's talk, except for the sound of rain outside the window, only the thumping heartbeats of the two girls were so clear, as if they were urging something.
However, just as the two of them got a little closer, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, startling both of them, they quickly took a few steps back, and glanced at each other with blushing embarrassment.
"Dear, it's time to eat." Mom's voice rang from outside.
"Understood, Mom, we'll be right there." Natalie replied in a panic, but fortunately, the mother outside didn't hear anything, and the footsteps quickly disappeared.
"So... Angie... let's go downstairs, shall we?" the girl said, coughing softly.
"When... Of course..." Angela said, not looking over her head and giving her a sneaking glance.
Natalie rubbed her face, and after she was sure she was calm, she was going to hold Angela's hand, but when the two's hands touched, it seemed as if they were holding charcoal, and they hurriedly threw them away, laughing embarrassingly at each other. Laughing, they walked out in tandem.
