King of Hollywood Chapter 14: Already moved
"Cate, there is your phone." The young woman shouted as she pushed open the door.
"How many times have I told you, Samantha, knock on the door before you come in." Catherine, who was sitting at the table and writing something, looked up at her sister helplessly, "Who is it?"
"Are you going to do something in the room that you can't see?" the elder sister asked ridiculously, seeing her sister's stared eyes before waving quickly: "The director who invited you to appear in the movie called Of."
"That director?" Catherine froze, "You said...Adrian·Kewell?"
"Is this the name?" Samantha thought for a while, "I don't remember, you didn't say anything in detail when you came back."
Then she spread her hands, "Anyway, only one director recently asked you to act in a movie, did she?"
As soon as the words fell, Catherine bounced from her seat and hurried out, leaving Samantha in a daze for a long while.
"Hmm... Hi!" After coming to the living room to pick up the microphone, Catherine hesitated before speaking a little nervously.
"Hi... Cate... How are you?" The hesitant voice of Adrian came from the microphone, and it seemed a little bit uncomfortable.
"I...I'm fine, is there--what's the matter?" Catherine pinched her skirt subconsciously.
"Well-I want to ask if you are free now... I'm having a little trouble, I don't have any friends of the opposite **** in London, so..." Adrian's tone was a trace of helplessness and exhaustion.
"I think... I think... this is fine, anyway, I am still on vacation... where are you now?" Catherine tried to calm her tone as much as possible.
"I'm on Props Avenue, I have to say, the address of your home is really hard to find." Adrian seemed relieved.
"Can you see the junction of Props and Merlin? Very good, I will be there for you in 10 minutes, just like that." Catherine put down the receiver and stared at it for a long moment, Then shouted loudly: "Mom!"
"What's wrong?" Mother came out of the back room.
"I'm going out, maybe I'll be back later." Catherine said as she hurried upstairs without even hearing her mother tell her.
"What's going on?" Mother looked at Samantha who walked past Catherine.
"Probably go to the director's date." Samantha shrugged indifferently.
"Director?" Mother frowned suddenly.
closed the door, Catherine leaned her head on the door and stared blankly at the ceiling, her breathing also became a little short of breath. After a few seconds she opened the wardrobe and picked it up. Trying it several times with the dress in front of the dressing mirror, Catherine chose a long-sleeved beige dress. After putting it on at a speed, she sorted her hair in the mirror, turned around several times, and added makeup.
"Damn, what am I doing?!" Catherine suddenly felt wrong after doing all this.
"It's just an ordinary friend, how can it be like..." She looked silent in the mirror.
The two days after Catherine had just returned home, she especially hoped that Adrian would call. I don’t know why. Anyway, this thought-head virus popped out of my mind from time to time and lingered. What happened during the shooting will also come to my mind from time to time, for a moment he is embarrassed to take the wrong coffee pot, for a while he is serious about explaining the plot for himself, for a while he is comforting and persuading himself before leaving, and for a while he is watching I conceived the outline of the novel. Especially when I think of the novel and several simple figure paintings that he conceived from himself, an inexplicable throb will cover Catherine's body
However, after returning home for ten days or so, Catherine has slowly faded the idea. After all, their encounter was accidental, and naturally you don’t need to contact after the filming. But when she received the call today, the throbbing feeling came up again, so strong that her heart almost jumped out.
I am just... a little sensitive. Catherine comforted herself with a small sentence in her heart, and then looked at the time. After exclaiming, she lifted her small bag and ran out.
"Cate," she was stopped by her mother when she arrived at the door, "Are you going to date? With what director?"
Catherine froze for a moment, then shook her head: "No, mom, just an ordinary friend. I told you that he is... a director who made experimental films, not much bigger than me. Well, I'm going to be late, I'll talk about it when I come back."
Wait for her mother to say anything, Catherine opened the door and slipped out, then trot to the appointed place for a while. Only in this way can she hide her intense ups and downs.
Catherine soon came to the junction of Props Avenue and Merlin Avenue, and saw the Adrian leaning on the door of the car waiting a long distance. Even though he was wearing simple dark casual clothes, he still stood out.
"Sorry, I'm late." Catherine who came to Adrian adjusted her breath and said embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a few minutes. Besides, women are supposed to let men wait, isn't it?" Adrian waved his hands indifferently, looked up and down at Catherine, and smiled slightly: "You are so beautiful today, Cate."
"Thank you." Cate put out her tongue playfully, and then looked at him seriously and asked, "Did something happen?"
Although the spirit of Adrian looks good, Catherine still notices that there is unstoppable tiredness between his eyebrows, and there is even a little blood in his eyes.
"Let's talk in the car." Adrian made a gesture and opened the passenger door for her.
"Is this rented?" Catherine looked in slightly after sitting in.
"Yes, it is more convenient to rent a car." Adrian nodded and moved the car.
"Where are we going?" Catherine asked again.
"Frankly speaking... I don't know, my head is chaotic now," Adrian smiled bitterly, "I haven't been out of the studio during this time, and my head is jammed by the lenses that need to be edited every day. Full, and because there are not many spare shots in a hurry, you must be careful every time you edit. All day and day work plus you can’t go wrong, so the mood is very bad, and the people who work with me are scolded. Every time, although I know this is not good, but...I think if I can talk to friends of the opposite sex, it might be better."
Although Catherine calmed down the moment she met, a ripple still rippled from the bottom of her heart.
"Let's go walk by the Thames, maybe the river wind will make you easier." she suggested.
The River Thames is the second most important river in the British Isles, and it is also the mother river of Britain. Westminster Cathedral, Parliament House, Tower of London, the Great Ben, Tower Bridge, etc., can be said to have concentrated the essence of British culture. Therefore, all visitors to London, whether foreign or domestic, will visit the Thames.
"This is not a reason, Ed, in fact, you know very well that this is your first work, so you want to be as perfect as possible, so... a little bit obsessive-compulsive." Catherine said this. Sitting on a bench by the Thames with Adrian, she held a fried fish potato in her hand. After talking, she bit off half a piece of fried fish. The careless appearance was inversely compared with her delicate facial features, but she revealed a kind of cuteness.
"I don't know if you are still a psychologist." Adrian, who also holds fried fish, shrugged.
"Because I still suffered from anorexia when I started smoking, I didn't want to eat anyway, and I thought about vomiting when I ate a bit. I'm familiar with the feeling of coercion." Catherine Sighed for a long time.
"Of course the work you have been devoted to is not noticeable, and your assistants have been reprimanded by you, so I need an outsider to remind me." Catherine looked at Adrian with a grin.
Adrian pursed her lips, and then asked seriously: "Should I also reprimand you?"
"Come on, didn’t you reprimand enough on the set? Don’t think I don’t know, I was reprimanded the most of all actors! God, I only appeared in a few days!" Catherine's anger Waving his hand unevenly.
"After the coffee pot incident, I haven't made you any more trouble." Adrian reminded.
"Yes, so I have to reduce it by a few more days, that is to say, I have been reprimanded far more than others in just two or three days, which is really terrible!" Catherine said with pride, Adrian had to Helplessly raised his hand.
"Okay, we have talked enough about this. It is actually very simple to solve this problem," Catherine suddenly jumped up and took Adrian's hand, "Let's go around and run, although you are here I have stayed in London but there are definitely places I haven’t been. If we are not interested in those famous buildings, we can go to the market of Portbello, or simply explore the famous alleys. Come on, Ed, work though If you are nervous, you should take time to rest and go together."
Facing her serious youthful look~IndoMTL.com~Adrian also smiled, and immediately grabbed Catherine's hand: "Then go together."
The time always passes quickly, and the sun goes down unconsciously. When the lantern was at the beginning of the lantern, the two talents returned to the Thames, but they were more intimate than before. In the past few hours, they went wherever they wanted. They went to the handicraft market to pick up some fun. They went to Trafalgar Square to feed pigeons for a while. They often chatted and suddenly turned to another topic, even So I came to the test to see who changed the topic even more. In short, he is like a couple in love.
"Want to catch me? Impossible!" After returning to the Thames after dinner, Catherine ran away and provoked suddenly.
"Do you want to try it?" With a smile on the corner of the mouth, Adrian pulled up the sleeve of the clothes and suddenly flew over.
With a giggling sound, the two chased away in a burst. The Adrian suddenly cried out carefully and rushed over to hug her at the moment when Catherine was distracted.
"You cheat!" Catherine thumped with her fist unwillingly.
"This is called a strategy, it is not said that you cannot use a strategy." Adrian said with a smile.
"Let me go! Come again!" Catherine gritted her teeth.
"Do you think it might not be?" Adrian looked at her with a low interest in her head.
Catherine originally wanted to say something, but when she raised her head, she couldn't help but stunned. For the first time, the two were so close, their noses sprayed on each other, so ambiguous and provocative.
looked at his pair of dark eyes, and the inexplicable throb was suddenly covered with Catherine’s heart. She watched the other person getting closer and closer to her...
