Hollywood Secret Garden

"Sorry to excuse me, are you Miss Natalie Portman?" A voice came from the side, and Natalie, who was paying the money, couldn't help but froze, then turned her head and looked over.A man and a woman were standing next to the newsstand, about 20 years old, looking at themselves with surprised expressions.

Before Natalie could speak, the two exclaimed again: "That's right! You are Queen Amidala!"

The surprised gazes from all around made the couple shrink their necks, but then they enthusiastically pulled Natalie to sign and take a group photo.Natalie generously agreed to their request. Seeing that she was so easy-going, the "Star Wars" fans asked her again.Fortunately, they were not overly enthusiastic, and left after satisfying part of their curiosity.

"Well, the beautiful Queen Amidala will be recognized everywhere." The old man at the newsstand said with a smile at this time.

"Shut up, old George." Natalie gave him a blank look, looked around at the increasing gazes from the two fans, picked up the magazine she bought earlier, and walked quickly towards home.

It's been a regular occurrence since she starred in the "Star Wars prequels," which have become a cultural phenomenon in the United States, after all.And Natalie was already mentally prepared when she took over the role, so even though it was annoying sometimes, she didn't take it to heart.

At least he's much better than someone else, and he doesn't have to make up everywhere.Natalie pouted in her heart. Although she has appeared in some stage plays and movies outside of school in recent years, except for "Star Wars Prequels", they are all supporting roles with little reputation.Although well-received by critics, she's not as popular as Hollywood's A-listers, so she can strut around the streets without dressing up as someone else.

By the way, it seems that she will play a role in the next "Star Wars prequel"?Natalie thought of the rumors she had heard before.Suddenly, the image that was originally suppressed by her filled the atrium.

Oh, no... Natalie covered her mouth and quickened her pace, and when she was almost home, she took her hand away to calm her chaotic heart slightly.After returning home and chatting with her mother for a while, she went to her bedroom, but when she got to the stairs, she turned her head hesitantly: "Mom, I want to move out in a few days."

"You want to move out so soon?" Mom smiled. "I thought you wouldn't do that until you graduated from college."

"I'm not young anymore, Mom." Natalie slowly took a few steps upstairs, "I'm going to move out sooner or later anyway, just use this time to get used to it, don't you? Long Island rentals are ready.”

Shirley shrugged noncommittally, then seemed to think of something, and then asked with a smile: "It seems that my daughter has some secrets that I don't want us to know. Let me think about it, she has a boyfriend?"

"No, nothing." Natalie grimaced.

"Well, we'll find out sooner or later," said the mother, frowning again. "Speaking of which, you don't seem to have ever brought a boy home. Nat, haven't you ever had a boy to your heart?"

"I'm not going to discuss this with you, Mom." Abandoning the laughing mother, Natalie quickly slipped back to her room.After slamming the door shut, she leaned against the door with a little dejection, bursts of sourness, sadness, surprise and hope rolling in her chest, which can be said to be full of flavors.It was only now that she realized that during the five years of dating, unconsciously, her heart had been completely occupied by that figure.

But why... that feeling of apprehension is getting stronger and stronger?Natalie thought a little weakly. The "San Francisco incident" made her feel warm, but the firmness when the other party told her that she had confessed to her parents caught the softest part of her heart.

Angie... tell me...that was my illusion, right?Natalie closed her eyes.At this moment, the phone rang, and the girl took it out without even thinking about it. After connecting it, she showed a mixture of surprise and surprise: "Angie?"

The sudden phone call made Natalie a little overwhelmed, and the other party's next words made her even more confused: "Are you in New York? Just arrived? This...I think it should be fine...Okay, see you later. "

After the beeping sound came from the mobile phone, Natalie realized why she agreed so easily?You know, she originally planned that if Angela returned to New York, she would show her for a few days before talking about it, but why now... and while she was thinking this way, she began to choose clothes and tidy up, as if her body was out of the control of her brain.

And when Angela, who was wearing glasses and had black hair and black pupils, appeared in front of him following the doorbell, all the dissatisfaction, suspicion and anxiety of the past month were temporarily forgotten.Especially when the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, the feeling of missing made me have the urge to hug her and kiss her!

What the hell did you do to me, Angie?Natalie sighed blankly in her heart.On the surface, she still maintains her usual appearance, but she is a little lively when she leaves the house in front of her parents, stabbing Angela a word or two from time to time.

"I told you, don't say that about me when there are people around!" Angela, who was stung, still bared her teeth and claws. She neither mentioned what happened in San Francisco nor the reaction of the Masons. She just thought of ways to make her happy.

Although Natalie knew what Angela was thinking, she still felt much better. In addition to the dining environment specially chosen by the other party and the hidden concern in her words and actions, she temporarily forgot about those unhappiness.

But even so, the thorn in her heart is still a thorn, so Natalie couldn't help grabbing Angela's scandal and making a sarcasm, but what she didn't expect was that Angela would use the topic to make her more serious. For the surprising news.

"A gay...role?" Natalie really couldn't guess Angela's mind this time, "You not only plan to direct a gay movie this year, but also play a gay character at the same time?"

"That's right, not only directing but also acting, that's why I disguised myself and went to San Francisco to observe gay life." Angela spread her hands, showing an innocent look.

"So, you plan to make a breakthrough in your own image after playing the male role?" Although Natalie suppressed her unhappiness, the sarcasm in her tone became more and more obvious, "I thought you already had enough in yourself." experience."

"It's different, dear, at least my parents are enlightened enough, they didn't embarrass me and...my lover just because I confided my true thoughts." Angela stared at Natalie without blinking , The friendship and nostalgia in those eyes made the girl's heart tremble.

"So, you say that the character you play should be a... girl who is not understood, and may even run away from home?" Natalie said with her eyes slightly turned away.

"That's right, as a matter of fact - I asked you if you would like to play this role." With a teasing smile, Angela picked up the ice water on the table and took a small sip.

"Me?" Natalie showed a puzzled look, but her good memory—especially remembering things related to Angela very clearly—immediately reminded her: "Your that is based on Irene Waugh A script based on North's deeds?"

Following her expression became a little embarrassed: "Are you going to play a rival role with Kate?"

"Hey, dear, remember what I said just now?" Angela shook her finger as a reminder.

Natalie couldn't help but startled, and immediately let go of the clenched hands under the table, but the tingling in her heart could not be eliminated.After a long while of silence, she stood up: "Sorry, Angie, I want to go for a walk."

After walking straight out of the restaurant and being blown by the evening wind, Natalie calmed down a lot.She wanted to tell herself: You think too much.But the uncomfortable feeling that surrounds my heart is still lingering.

So Natalie walked slowly on the street in a daze, until a certain figure rushed over from behind and grabbed her hand.Natalie struggled a little, but gave up after not shaking off.

And Angela didn't say anything, just walked side by side with her.He just held Natalie's hand tightly, as if she would fly away from him in the next second.

The Big Apple under the night interprets its prosperity with colorful neon lights, and all kinds of people come and go on the street, and the two beautiful girls are just ordinary members of the endless crowd at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, but when the surrounding crowd began to gradually decrease, Natalie finally let out a long breath and wanted to ask a certain question.At this moment, her body tightened suddenly, and Angela hugged her into her arms from behind.

This sudden behavior almost made Natalie cry out, if she didn't know that Angela was by her side.Even so, she was a little uneasy, and now it was on the street.

Then Natalie was relieved, and Angela chose a good place to hide their figures in the shadow of the corner. In addition, the traffic on this street was much less, and she had disguised herself, so don't worry too much. Worrying about being recognized.

This reckless guy!Although Natalie complained in her heart, her heart softened.She leaned back closer to Angela, and at the same time grabbed her hands around her neck and waist.The two of them didn't say anything, just stood in the shadows quietly watching the flow of people and cars on the street.

After a long time, Angela whispered next to her ear: "If you hadn't disguised yourself, I would definitely kiss you here."

Although there was some teasing in her tone, Natalie felt calm and secure for no reason.She suddenly turned around and dragged Angela into the gap between the two walls, raised her head slightly in the dim light, and looked at each other provocatively.

Angela obviously didn't mean to be polite, holding Natalie's face heavily on her lips.As if the thunder had stirred the ground, the two girls just kissed bitterly in the narrow alley between the two buildings, even if a group of young people passing by screamed strangely, they would not be disturbed.

Panting slightly, they separated, and Natalie immediately knocked off Angela's hand in anger.Although the light is dim, you can still see the questioning in her eyes: Who made your hands move!

"Well... conditioned reflex, this is a conditioned reflex." Angela smiled and waited for Ai Ai's explanation.

Seeing the embarrassment of the other party, Natalie couldn't help but burst out laughing, and her heart softened more and more.It seems that I have serious insecurities.The girl said so self-deprecatingly in her stomach.

She opened her mouth and was about to speak, when she suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say, and she didn't know where the previous question was thrown.So after hesitating for a while, he blurted out a sentence: "I'm hungry."

"Ha, are you hungry now?" Angela snorted with her nostrils upturned, "Who told you to leave without finishing eating just now?"

Natalie didn't say anything, just moved forward with her hands around her waist.

"Okay, okay," Angela raised her hands helplessly, "How about we go eat pizza?"

"Oh? Stop going to those 'elegant restaurants with a romantic atmosphere'?"

"If you want to try, I can take you to a banquet hosted by my grandfather, and then you will know what elegance is - each dish uses a specific knife and fork, and you must remember which pair of knife and fork to eat. If you use the wrong dish, it's very rude! God, I almost passed out when I participated in a practice!"

"It sounds very cruel?"

"If you want to hear it, you might as well go to the pizzeria and order two pizzas first, and then we will sit on the street and talk while eating."

Angela stayed in New York for almost five days before leaving. In order to prevent the news from being leaked, she was surrounded by reporters. She has been staying in a hotel-oh, and stayed at Natalie's house for two nights-so she had to say sorry to her grandparents.

She's been by Natalie's side these days, dating and wandering around all day while scouting for a new home with her.It's a pity that no suitable house was selected until the time of departure. God knows how much Angela wanted to make out with Natalie in an independent apartment-even though they had lived together at Harvard for two years.

Of course, it is impossible to go to New York without asking Scarlett out.Even if Angela clarified in front of the media, and the current homosexual scandal about her has gradually subsided, and she and Natalie appeared in pairs, Manny still complained about her.

"You obviously haven't given any thought. If you just collect information for directing the film, you can show up at the film festival openly." Scarlett said with dissatisfaction, and there seemed to be some worries hidden between her brows.

"If that's the case, the reporters will hype it up even more. I've drawn up the title for them: Miss Genius Comes Out in a High-Profile!" Angela shrugged innocently.

"Let's not talk about this, okay?" Natalie cut in in time, "I don't know what will happen to Angie if she changes her ways, but one thing is for sure, she will also be on the top of the "Coming Out" magazine's most recent list. Want to date the top of the list of female celebrities."

"That's true, but, Nat, those avant-garde women in Harvard University may flock to Angie in the future, you have to watch her closely." Scarlett said half-jokingly, which naturally attracted Angela. shouted angrily, and then chased and fought.If it wasn't for Natalie in front of her, she would have pushed Scarlett to the ground and ruthlessly ravaged her plump breasts.

Well, back to the topic, Angela managed to appease Natalie.Although she has always kept her guilt hidden in her heart, she always mumbles a few words of sorry to the mirror when she is alone in the hotel.

Until she figured out a way to solve her current emotional dilemma and confess completely, she had to keep hiding it.The only thing Angela can do now is to pray to God to give her some more time, and not to make any mistakes before figuring out a solution.

Liv didn't know that she came to New York suddenly this time - the elf princess had been nagging her on the phone a lot during this time.Fortunately, Liv is not in New York these days, and Angela is a little relieved.She felt that the old man God was still on her side, but how to appease Liv was still a headache.

Angela will temporarily forget about things that cannot be resolved for a while.

If it doesn't work, she can choose to confess to Liv. Even if Liv never dumps her, she is still sure to let Liv keep this secret.

So after returning to Los Angeles, Angela focused on other aspects, such as the preparations for "Brokeback Mountain".Basically, the four actors she appointed agreed to play, needless to say Sarah, Angela went to the door to force the other party to agree; Heath, as she expected, because of the desire to break through himself and understand the talent The confidence of the young lady promised; none was more interesting than Gyllenshire.

"Honestly, not everyone can go crazy with you, so I think even losing is a memorable topic. Think about it, failing with Miss Talent!" Gyllenhill said on the phone , and before Angela pursued his lack of confidence, he asked a little nervously: "I think, in the middle of directing... if you become very angry because of the actors, you shouldn't... Oh, of course, I I know I understand, but... There is always a little gap between rumors and reality, isn't it?"

Just wait and see, kid, how I deal with you then!Angela said viciously in her stomach.Of course, there are still good words of comfort in the mouth, don't you have a good meal before the execution?

The most unexpected thing is that Michelle Williams turned down the role at first, on the grounds that she still needs to hone her skills.After returning to Los Angeles, Angela had to go to San Diego to visit her home and lobby her. Fortunately, she had fooled three people before, and it was quite handy to fool Michelle.Plus Michelle is currently wearing a teen idol hat like Heath, so it didn't take much to convince her.

"I look forward to your outstanding performance in the movie. I believe in my own vision." Angela said this before leaving, the smile on her face was exactly the same as that at Heath's house.That's right, Grandma Wolf and Human Traffickers!
