The soft music reverberated in the room, sometimes whispering in her arms, sometimes rejecting people a thousand miles away. The girl closed her eyes, and her white and slender fingers roamed the black and white keys completely by feeling, which was more comfortable than before.
The bits and pieces of the past few years kept popping up in my mind. After the last syllable slipped from the fingertips, Angela opened her eyes and sighed softly. This song is from Richard Clayderman, the piano prince. The song from the album "Adelina by the Water" - "Frozen Love", just like her mood.
Angela turned around and looked at the two phones on the bedside. They still didn't move. In just over a month, can years of friendship be erased
She stood up with a sigh. The bedroom, which was much larger than before, only made her feel empty, like her own heart. The girl put down the lid of the piano, and then placed the two golden statuettes that the maid had brought in. On a display shelf made just for her, with a Grammy's golden gramophone, turned away.
Passing by the full-length mirror, she suddenly stopped and looked at the girl in the mirror. In just over half a year, she almost changed her body. Her body was slender and well-proportioned. It was a rare occasion when Giorgio Armani in the United States measured her body. Admiration, he has already reached the golden ratio at a young age; his face has long lost the tender and naive feeling of the flesh, the goose-egg-shaped face looks slanted and angular from the side, and the facial features are becoming more and more delicate, which should have followed. Eyes that gradually fade with age are still emerald green, and occasionally there is a glimmer of charming light.
"Already, it's a girl. And, will, it's a woman." Looking at herself in the mirror, Angie stretched out one hand and gently stroked the mirror, while the other hand was placed on her face, The same gentle strokes, as if enchanted, murmured word by word.
"So, what about it?" The girl sneered, "Girl, girl, woman, so what? For me, isn't it just a game? To be a legend? In 2018, write all the hit scripts that you can think of. Send them to the major film companies, write all the songs you can remember that can be called famous, and send them to the major record companies. Give me a lifetime achievement award, but I don't think so!"
The beautiful face in the mirror was mixed with ridicule and sneer at this moment, and it seemed a little distorted, as if something had been suppressed for a long time about to erupt.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, as if a basin of cold water was poured down, Angela woke up with a shock. Open your eyes and pant and look at yourself in the mirror, what happened just now
The knocking on the door continued, along with the father's voice: "Darling, are you inside?"
The girl quickly rubbed her face. He answered loudly: "Yes, Dad, I'm here, please wait a moment." Then he adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror, and then quickly walked over to open the door.
"Are you practicing... kung fu?" Jared asked as he walked into the room, looking at his daughter, who was covered in fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Practicing... kung fu? Ah, yes, I'm here." Angela said disguisedly. At the same time, he wiped it on his forehead.
Father didn't care about that. Instead, he sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and after thinking about it, he said, "Chrissy. Shall we talk?"
"Talk about it? What's wrong?" Angela asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just a normal conversation. Your mother wanted to come, but I think it's better for me to talk to you." Jared said seriously.
"Really? So what do you want to talk about, Dad?" The girl shrugged. "Those tabloid reports? It's nothing. It's their nature to chase after tidbits, as long as you know what you're doing, you don't think I Are you already the kind of kid who drinks heavily, takes drugs, promiscuous, stays out all night?"
Jared smiled wryly: "Your tone is exactly the same as that night two years ago."
"Really? That means I was mentally prepared two years ago. Of course, maybe it's not enough, but at least I'm prepared, right?" Angela sat down on the edge of the bed and said with arms crossed .
"Well, dear, you've already said more than half of what I wanted to say." Father said helplessly.
"Of course, after all, I'm 14 years old, aren't I?"
"Yes, you are already 14 years old, so I still have a question... Are you going to keep doing this?" Jared looked at his daughter and asked seriously, "You plan to just write the script, act in the movie, and make a movie like this. Records, are they developing in the entertainment industry?"
Even half a month ago, if her father asked her like this, she would answer "yes", but now Angela has only silence, a long silence.
"Chrissy?" The father tried to call when his daughter didn't speak.
"If my answer is no, will you let me study finance, study business, and then help you do things?" Angela suddenly asked in a faint voice.
Father was stunned for a while, then laughed, and answered affirmatively: "No!"
"real?"
"It's up to you, Chris." Jared reached out and stroked his daughter's face lightly, "I hope you can live happily, dear, do what you like, do what you like, not do the whole thing. Why does God worry about this, understand? The decision is yours."
Angela nodded silently, and then said softly, "I'll think about it, Dad, I promise."
"Okay, I won't say anything more. Although there is still something I want to discuss with you, it's already very late, so I'd better go to bed earlier." Father nodded, stood up, and remembered something when he walked to the door , turned his head and shouted, "Chrissy!"
"what?"
"Do you… need a… close playmate?"
"Close... playmate?" the girl thought for a moment. "Like Aunt Ada and mother, and Mr. Lawrence and uncle?"
"Yes." Father nodded.
"Maybe... I can." Angela said hesitantly, creating a close person who likes me
"Okay, good night." Jared nodded again. Not much to say. Go out and close the door.
Angela fell on the bed, motionless, and stared at the ceiling. Although her father's arrival just made her break free from the vortex of her heart, until now, her heart was still up and down.
That is fear and fear. Fear of losing her most precious things, especially when it was rumored in the school that after she forced Vicky away, her classmates started to look at her with other things in their eyes; and after receiving a letter from Edward, the other party was asking her about her. After confessing, tell her not to write to her again.
I told you the new phone number in the letter, so I asked my mother to put two phones in the room, why? So far no one has called...
Angela didn't want to cry, her heart was empty. There's nothing to cry about even if I think about it, and then—
The phone rang suddenly, startling her, jumping up from the bed, looking at the phone without blinking, as if in disbelief, but the phone was indeed ringing, not a dream.
With trembling hands, the girl grabbed the microphone and said, "Hello, who are you looking for?" Out of excitement. Her tone had changed a lot, but God seemed to be joking with her, but there was a long silence, no sound. Angela's heart sank, and she called a few times, but there was still no sound. She put down the phone in disappointment, and twitched the corner of her mouth with a wry smile.
At this moment, another phone suddenly rang again, and the girl suddenly became furious. She grabbed the phone and shouted, "What the hell are you trying to do! Hang up the phone if you make the wrong call! Do you know that it's bedtime now? !"
Then there were several boos in a row: "Hey. Angie. Be quiet, do you want to wake my parents up?"
Angela was stunned. This sound is not... it is not...
"N... Nat, is... is that you?" Angela said as she suppressed her breath as much as possible, but her hands were already shaking.
"Of course it's me, or who do you think it will be?" Natalie on the other side of the phone asked strangely.
"Oh, no... I mean... oh, no... God..." Angela said incoherently with excitement, raising her hand, shaking it again, not knowing where to put it, as if something instantly pierced her heart. filled up.
"Okay, calm down Angie! I said, be quiet. Mom and Dad are all sleeping. I'm sneaking into the living room to call you now."
"Secretly? Why?" The excited Angela became sluggish even thinking.
"God, are you confused? New York and Los Angeles are three time zones apart!" Natalie's voice was helpless, and she could imagine her covering her forehead.
Before Angela could speak, the original phone rang again. The excited girl didn't think much about it at all, and picked it up subconsciously: "Hey, hello, who is it?"
"Damn it! Angie! I'm just joking, can't you wait for me to make a sound before hanging up? That's rude!" The voice over there was also very familiar.
Angela was stunned again, and couldn't believe it: "Man... Manny? Is that you?"
"Of course it's me, otherwise who would call you at this time?" Scarlett's voice seemed very proud.
"Did Manny call you?" asked Natalie on the other phone, as if she had expected it.
"Yes, she's calling me, wait how do you know?" Angela asked hurriedly.
"How do you know what? You're on another call? Nat?" Scarlett asked again.
"Okay, wait! Wait! You two shut up for the time being!" The girl put the microphone to one ear and yelled, "Who told me what's going on?!"
Both microphones were silent, and after a few seconds, they both laughed.
"It was Manny's idea."
"Yes, I told Nat to ignore you for a while."
"Then don't talk to you until Oscar night." Your punishment! "
"Who told you not to tell us the truth!"
The two of you said each and every one of them jokingly, making Angela, who was listening, grit her teeth with hatred. The two of you are really sisters, although you are slandering. But very happy in my heart.
"Okay. I won't tell you more, Angie, I also secretly ran to the living room to make a call." Scarlett said at this time, "Besides, Weiwei will call you tomorrow morning, she called me before. It's too late. She really can't wait."
"Okay, okay, I see, so what else do you have to say?"
"Then, congratulations, Angie." Two voices came from the two microphones at the same time.
"Thank you, I love you."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
After hearing the voice of hanging up from the opposite side, Angela sighed with emotion and put the microphone back. But before she could let go, the two phones rang at the same time.
The girl looked at the phone in her hands in surprise, and didn't recover until it rang several times, and quickly picked it up at the same time: "Hello, who can I look for?"
There was no sound from the two microphones, and a few seconds later, giggles came at the same time.
"Jesse! Lindsay! You both called at the same time as you agreed, didn't you?!" Angela almost couldn't help shouting.
"Your judgment is very good, Angie." Jessica's voice came over with a smile.
"What the hell is going on here, don't tell me you colluded. You haven't contacted me, and then you only called me today?!" The girl gasped and gritted her teeth.
"Wow, Angie actually guessed my plan. Has anyone done this before?" Lindsay asked in surprise. "No wonder the line has been busy just now."
"You can't control it!" Angela was almost gnashing her teeth. If Lindsay was in front of her now, she would definitely press her on the bed and rape her a hundred times. Natalie and the others don't matter if they are in New York, you two She is obviously in the local area, but she is still like this. Do you think she is very funny? But Lindsay's next sentence extinguished her anger.
"Who told you to deceive our feelings!" Lindsay said confidently.
"Okay, okay, I apologize. All right." Angela said dejectedly, holding the microphone.
"Okay. Angie, I just want to say congratulations. Although I did get a little angry before, but it's all right now." Jessica said softly, "If Lindsay is messing around again, just ignore her."
"Okay, if Lindsay is messing around again, just ignore her." Angela said aloud.
Lindsay from the other microphone mumbled a few times, but in the end, she did not continue to entangle, but coughed dryly: "Okay, congratulations, Angie." "Thank you, I love you!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
There was a blind tone on the phone again, and Angela put down the phone with a smile on her face. She was so happy that she could finally relax! However, there is one more person.
It was probably because of a consonance, the phone rang again, the girl bit her lip, took a deep breath and picked up the phone: "Hello, who is it?"
"Excuse me, is Angela here?" There was a slightly tired female voice on the other end of the phone.
"Kay... Kate, is that you?" Angela asked softly, covering her mouth.
"Angie? Oh, I'm so glad you haven't slept yet, sorry, I'm calling you now, it's just dawn, by the way, how many awards have you won?"
"Three, actually, I'm glad you could call me... You, you didn't blame me, did you?"
"Blame you? Why?" There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone, "Honey, we've known each other for 10 years."
"Yeah, 10 years." Angela knew what she meant, and after a few seconds of silence, she lowered her voice: "I miss you, Kate."
"Yes, I miss you too."
"I want to have sex with you."
"What... what?"
"Because I was going to have an affair with you during the New Year, but the "Sun" thing made me leave the UK early, so you'd better come to Los Angeles early to make up for me during the summer vacation." Angela said plausibly. , "Okay, now I'm going to bed, of course, until then I'll be masturbating with you as a fantasy object."
"An... Angie!"
Without waiting for her to say anything, Angela giggled and hung up the phone, then unplugged the phone line, staring at the phone, although she kept telling herself that she was already a big girl, and she had to keep her manners, but in the end Yu still ecstatically called "Yes!" three times, and jumped on the bed.
Great, they are still by their side!
