In the theater, audience members are entering in sequence, taking their seats to wait for the show to begin.
Angela looked around restlessly, as if looking for someone.
"What's wrong? Chris?" asked the grandfather beside him.
"The godfather promised to come, but there is still no one in sight." Angela muttered, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she began to wave her hand. Soon, Brian's tall figure appeared in front of her.
"Sorry, I'm a little late, and the road was delayed a little." The godfather said helplessly, and then said hello to the girl's grandparents.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Angela whispered after the other party sat down.
"Dear, since you brought the tickets in person, as your amiable godfather, of course I should be here, right?" Brian said with a smile.
And the girl rolled her eyes: "I've already apologized for the inaccessibility, why do you always talk about it, he's really my amiable godfather."
The godfather laughed lightly, raised his hand and said, "Okay, as your amiable godfather, let's not talk about this, and change the subject - has your agent negotiated with Vincent?"
"Yes, but Uncle Vincent hopes to expand more and describe the whole world in depth. I agree, but he won't be able to get the manuscript before the summer vacation." Angela said with a smile.
"Really..." Brian paused before sighing and said: "To be honest, Chris, you surprised me once again. I bought a magazine and read it carefully. It's very brilliant. I'm not complimenting you, dear. Yes, you did build a world!"
"That's because I'm a genius?" Angela said triumphantly. After thinking for a few minutes, he said in a teasing tone. "And behind me is the creative team my father prepared for me!"
"That's true. Let me think about it, from the quality of your scripts, Jedi has at least 10 first-rate screenwriters, not counting the songwriters. And then they have to pay them a cut of each movie, and seals. Fees, reputation damage fees. Well, you're making tens of millions at most now, and at least double your expenses. Your dad's a big one, dear. I guess I shouldn't be behind him either. Right? ?" Brian said solemnly.
The girl rolled her eyes again, then ignored him, and turned to talk to her grandfather. At this time, the lights of the theater dimmed, and the curtain on the stage began to slowly open. The stage play performed by the Community Theatre Company is "The Sound of Music," in which Natalie plays a certain daughter of the Colonel's family.
It was the first time Angela saw The Sound of Music on stage. Regardless of past or present life, what she likes is the movie version of "The Sound of Music". Although the girl participated in the fairy tale stage play and the Christmas party in the school when she was in elementary school, she just thought it was fun, and she never felt much about stage play, so she couldn't see anything famous about the people performing on the stage. Just for psychological reasons, I think Natalie is the best.
In the warm applause, the people participating in the performance bowed to the audience on the stage one after another. Although it is only a small community theater group, everyone played very seriously, so the people who came to watch did not stingy with their applause. And as Angela thought, Natalie was the best, so Avner and Shirley, sitting on the other side, were constantly being congratulated by those who knew them, including the girl's grandparents. However, the girl didn't go to congratulate her. After speaking to her godfather, she sneaked to the backstage.
"Hey, this lady, this is the backstage, please don't rush in?" The staff stopped a girl who was rushing in. She looked about 15 years old, wearing a white wide-brimmed hat, and her dark eyes were as deep as lake water.
"I'm sorry, I came to see my friend, she is one of the important actors, I want to congratulate her before her parents, I don't think you will reject me, sir?" the girl said with a wink , a pure and lovely look, but it has the faint charm of a girl who has just grown up. It seems that I have seen it before. The staff couldn't help but stay for a few seconds. It took a few seconds to react, and said a little embarrassedly: "Okay... well, oh no... no... I mean yes... what's your friend's name?"
"Natalie, Natalie Hesliger," the girl said, before adding, "Or Natalie Portman."
The staff member thought for a while, and there was indeed such a girl in his mind, he hesitated, and finally nodded: "Okay, you go from here, the second-to-last room in that passage is the dressing room for the little actors, please Don't delay too long... By the way, where have I seen you, miss?"
"Thank you, sir." The girl thanked politely, without explaining the latter question, and then walked inside as he said, and soon came to the door of the room that the other party said, and there was a burst of noise inside. A burst of laughter.
The girl immediately pushed open the door and went in. Several young actors were talking and laughing with each other while removing makeup in their seats. When someone came in, they were all stunned, and then a little boy called out, "Hey, what's the matter with you?"
"Well, I'm here to find someone." The girl said with a smile, then glanced around the room and set her eyes on Natalie who was sitting in front of the last dresser on the right to remove her makeup.
"Hi, Nat!" the girl greeted, and the children in the room all cast their eyes together.
Natalie raised her head. When she saw the girl's dark eyes, she was stunned for a moment. She was about to scream when she saw the other party making a few mouth shapes, and immediately changed her words knowingly: "Hi, Chrissy. ."
"Your performance is great, Nat!" Angela came to her side with a smile and sat down, then looked at the other children: "Of course, your performance is also good. "Thank you. ' exclaimed the other children, laughing together.
"Are you Nat's friend?" a girl asked.
"Yes, my name is Chris, I'm from Los Angeles." Angela nodded and replied, causing another burst of amazement, and then various questions quickly popped up.
"Is Los Angeles on the West Coast? Is it as beautiful as New York?"
"Do you wear very little clothes there all year round?"
"I heard there are stars everywhere, is that true?"
"Hey Chrissy, you look like a certain star."
Facing this large group of curious babies, Angela wanted to smile bitterly, but Natalie looked at her with a half-smile and shrugged her shoulders with a self-inflicted expression, and then she wiped off her foundation in front of the mirror and let her. The girl was so angry that she wanted to pounce and take a bite. Fortunately, a staff member came in at this time: "Children, quickly remove your makeup, your parents are waiting for you."
After he finished speaking, he left without noticing that there were more people in the dressing room, but the children surrounding Angela obediently returned to their seats and started to wipe their faces. The girl could finally breathe a sigh of relief. .
"Actually, you should be thankful that you dressed up and wore contact lenses, Angie," Natalie said with a smile in the mirror, "otherwise you'd be treated more grandly than this."
"You like seeing me embarrassing don't you, Nat?" Angela said, glaring at her.
Natalie smiled without answering, wiped her face clean two or three times, and then looked closely in the mirror.
"Don't move, there is still a little bit here, let me wipe it for you." Angela also helped to look at it, then snatched the towel over, and couldn't help but wipe the places she didn't notice.
Although the towel was separated, the girl's fingers could still feel the tenderness of the skin on her face, and a strange emotion emerged from the bottom of her heart.
Heck, here we go again. Angela couldn't help but said in her heart that she had always been surprised that the object of masturbation suddenly changed from Jessica to Natalie that day. It was not until she came to New York this time that she realized that her feelings for Natalie were a bit strange. Can't tell, anyway, unlike Jessica, she was quite troubled.
"It's alright now, look." Angela straightened Natalie's head and said to the girl in the mirror.
"Thank you, Angie." Natalie whispered, the corners of her mouth curved, revealing a faint smile. Angela stared blankly at the smiling girl in the mirror. In her eyes, she was extremely beautiful. Even the small moles on the left and right sides of her face were very attractive.
"You are so beautiful, Nat!" Angela whispered suddenly.
Natalie was slightly startled, her face flushed: "Don't be kidding, Angie, you are beautiful, although your eyes don't match your hair color, but you still have a unique charm, I have a temperament. , but I'm not pretty, I know that."
"Don't be silly, if you're not beautiful, who else is beautiful?" Angela put her head on her shoulder, looked at her face and said softly. In fact, if it wasn't in the dressing room, she would probably endure it. Keep kissing her.
Natalie was silent, her heart was a little chaotic, and she didn't understand her feelings for Angela. She said she was an ordinary friend, but her intimacy obviously exceeded this limit; she said she was a very good friend, But there is clearly something more out of the friendship.
She has always claimed to be a rational girl, but she always has reactions to Angela that she doesn't understand. Maybe... she doesn't want to understand
"Let's go out, Angie, parents should be in a hurry." Natalie said and stood up. She looked normal, but she didn't look at each other at all.
