"Listen, Natalie, you're a smart girl. You always know what you're doing, and today should be no exception! So, from now on, throw away those unrealistic fantasies of yours. Today is enough. After two more rounds, you can go home obediently! Be mature, don't always complain that they say you're still a child, but you're really as stupid as a little girl who doesn't know anything. "
Natalie, who had her hands on the wall, lowered her head and kept talking to herself. After a while, she finally calmed down. Then, she cleaned up a little, took out a small mirror, and looked at herself. Then, she took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.
Adriaan was still standing at the other end of the skating rink, talking to a young woman who was walking her dog. From the woman's smiling face, he must have left a good impression on her. Natalie bit her lip involuntarily, and then the previous scene immediately came to her mind. The electric shock from that glance made her heart beat a little faster. She immediately reached out and pinched the bridge of her nose hard to control her emotions.
"You have to learn to control, understand? Control! " She whispered with a little helplessness, and once again ignored something else hidden in her heart.
Suddenly, a drop of liquid fell on Natalie's face. She touched it, and then looked up at the sky. Just like in the morning, it was gloomy, and she couldn't see the sun. Following that, another drop of liquid fell on her forehead. Before she could react, the rain suddenly started pouring down. It was as if all the water faucets in the world had been turned on, and the water was turned on to the maximum.
Natalie screamed and ran to Adriaan with her head in her hands. She only ran half the distance, and her whole body was drenched. Fortunately, a tall figure immediately hugged her.
"Are you okay, Nada?" Adriaan asked loudly in the pouring rain. He took off his coat and put it on his head, shielding the girl from most of the rain. "Let's find a place to hide first."
After getting Natalie's permission, he ran to the main road with her. They ran in the heavy rain for a few minutes before hiding under the eaves of a convenience store.
"It's a shower. It shouldn't last long." Adriaan said. However, the sudden heavy rain did not seem to stop for a long time. The buildings in the distance began to blur in the rain, and the cars on the street were blocked.
Hehehe. Natalie began to hug her arms and tremble. Her face became much paler. Although Adriaan blocked most of the rain for her, she was already drenched. Strands of hair stuck to her face. Although the weather in New York had turned warm at the end of April, it was still relatively cold when it rained.
"I'm sorry, Nada, I didn't see …" Adriaan noticed the girl's abnormality and immediately carried her in his arms.
"Do you need any help, sir?" a clerk from the convenience store came out and asked kindly.
"En … thank you. No, we'll go back right away." Adriaan thought about it and replied. He then looked down at the girl in his arms, "Nada, listen to me. This is only two streets away from the hotel I'm staying at. Looking at the current road conditions, the driver may not be here for a while. Can I carry you and run back now? It won't take too much time. "
"No … No problem." Natalie replied with a shiver. She seemed to be frozen.
"Very good. Hold on to me. It'll be fine. As long as we return to the hotel, the situation will improve." Adriaan comforted her and put the coat on his head again. After letting Natalie put her arms around his neck, he hugged the girl tightly in his arms. He moved a little and then ran to his goal.
Their luck was good. There were no obstacles along the way. When they crossed the street, there was a green light for pedestrians. The journey that was estimated to take ten minutes only took seven minutes in the end.
"Send some hot drinks over as long as they can keep warm from the cold. Also, wash the soaked clothes and dry them as soon as possible. There's a lady here waiting to go home." Although he was abnormally embarrassed when he entered the hotel, Adriaan returned to his hotel room smoothly. He had stayed in this hotel several times when he came to New York, so the doorman and the waiters knew him.
What followed was another mess. He had to wipe his body and hair clean. The soaked clothes had to be changed and washed. Adriaan could get someone to buy a new set of clothes according to his measurements, but Natalie couldn't. She still had to go home.
"I may have to wait for a while, but it won't be long. Their room service is still very good." After Adrian called his driver and told him that he was back at the hotel, he sat on the sofa in his pajamas. He looked at Natalie, who was curled up on the sofa and sipping a hot drink, and said, "I'm sorry, Natalie.
"It's okay. There's still time anyway." The girl smiled. She was also wearing pajamas, but because there was no suitable one, she wore men's pajamas. In addition, she looked especially petite as she curled up on the sofa, like a kitten curled up in a ball.
"Are you better now?"
"En, thank you for carrying me back."
"Oh, as long as you don't blame me."
"Eide!"
Looking at Natalie's reproachful look, Adriaan couldn't help but laugh. Then, he reached out and swept the hair behind her ear. "You know, you look very cute like this."
Under his gaze, the girl involuntarily tilted her head and placed it in the palm of his hand that was resting near her face. Immediately, Adriaan seemed to wake up. He quickly withdrew his hand and got up to walk elsewhere.
Natalie also turned her head away, using the hot drink to hide her embarrassment and accelerated heartbeat.
"Why don't you take a shower? Just wiping yourself … isn't enough to completely prevent the cold virus from attacking." Adriaan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and said.
"En … okay, but you go first. I want … to sit here for a while." Natalie tried to keep her tone calm.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Adriaan said and walked to the bathroom. He didn't look back at her until he went in.
The bathroom door slammed shut. Natalie then let out a long sigh. She put down the cup in her hand and held her face as she whispered. Damn! What the hell is wrong with me! What the hell am I thinking! This is crazy!
But the more she thought about it, the more powerless she felt. Especially when she recalled the scene of Adriaan holding her in his arms and running in the rain, her feelings were even more chaotic. For a long time, although they were very intimate in the letters, their contact in real life had always been polite and restrained. At most, they would shake hands or be rubbed on the head by him. Back at the birthday party of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", using her arm to hold Adrian's head for a photo was already the most she could do.
But today, she was held so intimately in his arms. The warm feeling and the mature masculine scent that blew against her face made Natalie feel dazzled.
The doorbell rang, and the girl who was in a chaotic mood finally came back to her senses. She jumped off the sofa, rolled up her loose pajamas, and walked a few steps to the door. She tiptoed and looked through the peephole. Then, she opened the door, "What's the matter?"
The waiter outside was stunned, but he quickly put on a professional smile and raised the clothes in the plastic bag in front of him, "Your clothes, miss."
"En … Please wait a moment." Probably because she had used too much brain power before, Natalie, who had become slow, didn't know how to deal with it. She had to run to the bathroom after saying so.
"Eide, waiter …" She twisted the bathroom door handle without thinking, and the bathroom door opened. Then, a naked Adriaan appeared in front of her.
The air froze at that moment. After almost two seconds, two screams sounded at the same time.
"Sorry! Sorry! I don't know … I shouldn't have … "Natalie ran to the living room and shouted with her face in her hands. The blush had spread to her ears.
There was no sound in the bathroom. After a long while, Adriaan answered, "The waiter brought the clothes? Then find a place to put them down. There is a tip on the coffee table by the window. "
After that, he closed the door, and at the same time, there was a click of the door locking. Although her face was red with embarrassment, Natalie quickly found the tip and went to the door to hand it to the waiter.
"Thank you." The waiter still maintained a professional smile, and his expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear anything before.
Damn it, Natalie, you are a fool, the world's biggest fool! The girl leaned against the wall and sat down. Although there was a depressed expression on her face, her heartbeat began to speed up again. Various scenes from before appeared in her mind and overlapped with the scene from before. This time, not only was her face hot, but even her body began to heat up.
Don't be like this, Natalie, control yourself, don't be stupid! Do you know how serious this is?! Natalie said to herself again and again in her heart, but her eyes fell on the phone in the room.
Please, Natalie, wake up. You have to know what you are doing, you have to know what you can do and what you can't do! Although she kept shouting in her heart, she slowly stood up and slowly walked to the phone. She raised her hand and put it down, raised her hand and put it down. This happened a few times, and finally, she picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number.
Listen to me, if the phone rang three times and no one answered, then put it down, okay? The voice in her heart made its last resistance.
Unfortunately, soon, a familiar voice came from the other end. It was her mother's voice. "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Hi, Mom, it's me." Natalie said in a calm tone that surprised even herself. "I am at 47th Avenue. I was about to go to Emily's house and come back, but as you know, the rain is very heavy, so … I want to stay at her house for the night and come back tomorrow. It's the weekend anyway."
"No problem, dear, I will tell your father."
"Thanks, I'll ask her to call you back soon," Natalie said and hung up the phone. Then, she quickly dialed the number.
"Hi, hello, Madam. It's me, Natalie. Is Emily at home? Thank you … Hey, Emily, I need your help with something. Call my house immediately and tell them that I will stay at your house for the night. Don't refuse. Do you remember how I helped you in the past … Don't worry about this, I have something important to do … That's all, goodbye. If they ask, tell them I am still on the way. Goodbye. "
After hanging up the phone again, the girl was stunned for a few minutes. She slapped her face hard as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Oh my god! What are you doing, Natalie! You idiot! How could you do such a thing! Is your brain fried?! "She cursed herself in a low voice and walked around the room like a headless fly.
"You are really crazy. Do you know what it means to do this? Are you ready to bear the consequences? "
"Oh, don't forget, he's a playboy. Think about what you said in the briefings you left behind."
"You will destroy yourself and him!"
Just when she was upset, the bathroom door opened with a click. Adriaan appeared at the door in a bathrobe, scratching his head. "Yes … I am done. If you want …"
He still seemed embarrassed, and his eyes were fixed on the ground. Natalie, who was shocked and ashamed, didn't say anything. She quickly ran into the bathroom and closed the door. Leaning against the wall, she took a deep breath.
Alright, calm down, take a hot shower, rest for a few minutes, and then go back. Don't think so much. Natalie tried her best to suppress her restless emotions. She took off her pajamas and adjusted the water temperature. She quickly stood under the shower head and let the running water drench her body.
"… You must practice abstinence in all matters related to sex before marriage. If you think that as long as two people really commit to each other or just feel that way, you can be too intimate before marriage in the name of God, then you are openly compromising the holy standards of God and the filth of the world. In fact, you are using corruption as righteousness. Sexual intimacy after marriage must also be limited to spouses … "She held her hands together and softly recited the prayer under the running water. But before she finished, she punched the wall in frustration." Damn it! It's useless! It's all useless! "(Note: I can't find a suitable Jewish chapter from the Old Testament, so I had to make up the number.)
After a long time, the girl, who had changed into a bathrobe, finally walked out of the bathroom. She was a little shaky, and her eyes seemed to be floating.
"Ha, you finally came out. If it had been a few more minutes, I'm afraid I would have knocked on the door." He waved Natalie's clothes on the sofa and said, "Look, they're very well made. They look like new. Try them on. If there's no problem, I'll send you back. It's getting late." Natalie's eyes were still not on Adrian's. Adrian said jokingly, but he didn't look at her.
"Hmm … Okay." Natalie reluctantly replied. She lifted the equally large bathrobe and walked towards him. Perhaps because she was in a trance, she only took a few steps before she stepped on the hem of the bathrobe that was dragging on the floor. She suddenly lost her balance and stumbled forward a few steps. Her head fell into Adriaan's arms.
Adriaan hugged her and took a few steps back to prevent her from getting hurt. But he did not expect Natalie to rush forward so quickly. As a result, he fell on his butt, and the girl's whole body was pressed against him.
"Are you … okay?" Adriaan looked at Natalie in his arms and asked with a bitter smile.
Feeling the strong arms, Natalie raised her head. She had never been so close to Adriaan before. Her chaotic thoughts became a complete mess.
"Let's get up first. Your … hmm … bathrobe is …" Before Adriaan could finish his rambling, the girl suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her soft lips on his mouth.
(Learn to control and also learn to release.)
Adrian blinked his eyes, as if he was stunned by her actions. He didn't know what to do at all, and just let her kiss him like that.
"Na … Nada … You should go back …" He stuttered after they separated.
"I've already called home and told them that I'll be spending the night at my classmate's house." Natalie gasped softly. Her eyes were half open, and she had an intoxicated look on her face. The corner of her bathrobe had fallen off, revealing her smooth and white shoulders. It was as if she was completely dominated by her own emotions.
"I'm not a good man …"
"I'm not a good girl either …"
Natalie said as she kissed his mouth again. She tried to stick her tongue in, just like in the TV and movies.
(Don't hesitate when it's time to release.)
At the moment of contact, Adriaan's tongue retracted slightly, but then he gently stirred it together and fiddled with it. His previously stiff hands became incomparably soft, and he began to move around on Natalie's petite body. Natalie let out a soft moan. Although she had the initiative from the beginning, and although she tried to maintain it, when Adriaan's hands entered the bathrobe, she immediately became passive, and finally fell into the other party's guiding pleasure.
After another passionate kiss, Adriaan stood up with her in his arms. He walked a few steps to the bed and gently put her down. After he laid her down, he gazed at her beautiful face and slowly untied the belt of the bathrobe, as if he was caring for a treasure.
When she lay down, Natalie closed her eyes and felt the bathrobe untied. Her breathing became more and more rapid, and the blush on her face became more and more intense. When the softness of a little dove was revealed, she could not help but let out a soft moan. Immediately, Adriaan's warm chest pressed against her body again, and he kissed her lips again.
The two kissed and caressed intimately. Adriaan quickly began to move down, and kisses fell on the places he passed by like raindrops. Natalie let out a sweet moan. When her legs were lifted up, she finally opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling in a daze. Her hands kept scratching Adriaan's head, and she let out a very pleasant sob with his tongue.
Finally, Adriaan straightened his body again, and like a mountain, he pressed down on her small body. He reached out to support her back and gently moved forward after enough foreplay. Natalie suddenly let out a painful moan, and a tear overflowed from the corner of her eye.
※ ※ ※
With a yawn, the girl finally woke up from her light sleep. She rubbed her eyes, and the unprecedented sense of satisfaction made her feel extremely comfortable. But when she wanted to turn around, she felt a trace of pain coming from below. Natalie took a cold breath and looked around. Although the light in the room was dim, the various furnishings could be seen clearly.
She was stunned for a few seconds, and finally remembered what she had done. She turned over regardless of the pain, and then she met a pair of dark eyes.
"Eide …" Natalie said timidly. She shrank her neck and did not know what to say.
"I've sinned, Nada." Adriaan, who had been awake for some time, sighed. "What should I say?"
"I … we … God, I actually did it, I actually … I actually did it with you … I actually did such a thing … God will punish me …" Natalie suddenly covered her face and sobbed.
"Oh, dear Nada, don't be like this." Adriaan immediately hugged her and stroked her hair to comfort her. "Even if I'm going to be punished, that's my business, whether it's God, the judge, or … your father."
Hearing such words, Natalie could not help but burst into laughter, although there were still faint tears in her eyes.
"If my father knew, he would kill you." She said.
"Of course, of course, I have no doubt about that." Adrian shrugged. "If my daughter were to sleep with such a man, I'd kill him too. I wouldn't care about the reason."
After a pause, he said, "But if people find out this time, it's not just your father who wants to kill me."
Natalie stopped smiling, hesitated, and leaned her head on his chest. She said in a worried tone, "I can't believe I actually did such a thing. I'm really out of my mind. You must have cast some magic on me …"
She suddenly raised her head and angrily punched Adriaan. "Why didn't you push me away! Why can't you control yourself! Don't tell me you can't do it! "
"Because I don't want to." Adriaan replied softly. He stared at Natalie's face, and his fingers gently stroked it.
The girl suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at him blankly. A blush quickly appeared on her beautiful face. Although it was only a very short sentence, it contained too much meaning.
The room suddenly became silent. The two just looked at each other. Adriaan was calm and sincere, while Natalie was coy and ambiguous. After who knew how long, the silence was broken with a gurgle.
"I seem … a little hungry." Natalie said awkwardly.
"That's true. You just did so much exercise and took a short nap. You must be hungry." When Adriaan said this, he winked with a smirk, which made the embarrassed Natalie want to hit him again.
"Well, I'm hungry too. I'll order something to eat right away." Adriaan laughed and sat up, then pressed the girl who wanted to get up on the bed, and gently comforted, "You just … um … tried it for the first time, so it's a little uncomfortable. It's better to lie down and don't move."
As he spoke, he put a pillow on the head of the bed, carefully helped Natalie up and leaned on it. He turned on the TV for her, and then walked to the coffee table to make a phone call.
Natalie pulled the quilt in front of her chest and looked at Adriaan's back. She carefully stuck out her tongue, but then she frowned because she thought of something. There was a haze in her eyes that she might not even be aware of. Eventually, she shrugged and calmed down.
※ ※ ※
"These have been signed. I'll send the documents over tomorrow. In addition, tell Krau that if it's possible, it's best to get it done in the middle of the year. Don't drag it until the end of the year." Adriaan said to Charlize after dealing with the accumulated things in the study.
"No problem, I got it." Charlize nodded and packed up the things to leave, but she could not resist her curiosity. She stopped at the door and turned around, "Eide, did something happy happen to you?"
"Why, does my face look like it has something happy written on it?" Adriaan asked in surprise.
"It's all over your face." Charlize sighed, "You're still brimming with that enthusiastic and energetic smile. You whistled repeatedly as soon as you entered the room. You were dancing and spinning in the corridor just now and almost bumped into Yukie. Mrs. Galen asked me in private if you were stimulated by something."
"No, no, no, it's nothing, but I did encounter something interesting. As for what it is, you don't have to say." Adriaan laughed and spread out his hands.
"Don't tell me you've deceived someone again. Oh, she's really lucky to make you lose your composure to this extent." Charlize snorted softly.
Adriaan did not speak. He just looked at the female secretary with a grin. Charlize immediately realized that there was a hint of jealousy in her tone. Her beautiful face blushed, and she snorted softly again before opening the door and leaving.
Adriaan suddenly laughed. It's so interesting. How long has it been since I saw Charlize with this expression? Well done, Natalie! Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh again. He did not expect that the first one to eat would be Natalie.
He originally thought that she was only one step away from Kirsten and would be able to eat them all in no time. Hence, she would be the first one. Although Britney was still in the early stages, and her progress was slow, it was smooth. Judging from her low EQ and the behavior she had shown so far, it would not be a problem for her to be the second one. Natalie was supposed to be the last one. After all, she was a smart girl. Even if she used some tricks, it would not be easy to influence her.
However, to his surprise, Natalie took the initiative. When they returned to the hotel, Adriaan had already seen some clues. At that time, he did not think too deeply about it, so he maintained a good demeanor and occasionally hinted at her. However, what Natalie did afterward was beyond his expectations, and he was almost "pushed down."
At this point, Adriaan naturally did not have any scruples. He immediately gave Natalie a very memorable first time.
He put his finger to his nose and took a deep breath, as if he could still smell the girl's fragrance. After that, he held her in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and enjoyed dinner while looking at the night view of New York. Then, they played some games and talked about a lot of topics. Finally, he held her in his arms and slept for the whole night. Everyone wanted to have a second time, but it depended on whether Natalie could handle it. Would she only be satisfied when she had trouble walking the next day?
"I'm leaving." Those were the last words Natalie said before he left New York. They were three streets away from her house in Long Island. Although it was simple, some words did not need to be said. They could be understood just by looking at her eyes.
"I'll still come to see you the next time I come to New York." Those were Adriaan's last words. Although he really wanted to kiss her again, he thought about some things. Even though Glover had been with him for a few years, he finally restrained himself.
And Natalie, who understood the meaning of his words and saw his actions, blinked cutely. Then, she walked in the direction of her house without looking back. After a night of rest, as long as one did not deliberately observe her, one would not be able to tell that she was struggling to walk.
Hmm, then the New York part of Eyes Wide Ring can be delayed. It's just a few scenes anyway. Adriaan touched his lips and thought about it. Then, he frowned slightly. A subtle feeling, a feeling that he had ignored because of his excitement, now unknowingly emerged. He did not know what it was, but … he had felt this before.
There was a knock on the door, and after getting his permission, Yuji Hui appeared at the door.
"Dinner is ready, Eide." She bowed respectfully.
"Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you." Adriaan smiled and then threw the feeling to the back of his mind. He did not understand it now, but it did not mean that he would not understand it in the future. It was better to put it aside for now.
It was not a sumptuous but lively dinner. Because of Adriaan's consistent insistence that everyone eat at the table, Ji Hui's deference earned her the favor of Charlize and Mrs. Galen, so it was a happy and harmonious dinner.
"Your English is improving very quickly. That's good. How much do you know about Hollywood's acting style now?" After dinner, Adriaan asked about Ji Hui's situation in school. He could easily arrange for her to go to a good performing school for advanced studies. Naturally, he could also easily understand her situation through the school. Not bad, that was the school's evaluation. But he wanted to know Ji Hui's own opinion of himself.
"Living in a place where English is spoken, my oral ability has naturally improved a lot, but my reading and writing are still a little behind." Although Ji Hui had a further understanding of Adriaan, the obedience to the strong still made her maintain her attitude. "As for acting, I can only say that I roughly understand the difference. If I want to adjust, I still need to continue learning."
"Well, how about this? I'll arrange an audition for you in a few days. I hope you can try your best so that I can have a more intuitive understanding of your acting skills." Adriaan pondered for a while and then reached out to lift her chin. "If you encounter any bad things, you must tell me. If I'm not here, Charley can also do it. You are mine, understand?"
"I understand." Ji Hui nodded obediently.
"That's it. Come to my room tonight." Adrian said as he stood up. After sizing up Yukiha, he chuckled again, "Remember to wear the number 4."
Number four was the maid outfit. It was not the kind of maid outfit sold in sex shops, but a formal European manor-style maid outfit.
If they wanted to play, they should play it formally. This was Adriaan's opinion. Because Ji Hui was a part-time servant, and Adriaan had decided to buy a bigger villa, she rarely wore this outfit at work. She mostly wore it to Adriaan's room at night. When in Japan, Ji Hui knew Adriaan's preferences, so she always did a good job.
Let's not talk about how Adriaan spent the rest of his energy in New York on Ji Hui Nakama, who was dressed as a standard European manor maid. After returning, they quickly started shooting in studio number 45 in May. The staff of the prop team built a gorgeous hall in the studio. The first scene to be filmed was the scene at the cocktail party.
"In real life, he's a well-dressed, successful man of the upper class, but in private, he takes drugs, calls prostitutes, and attends special parties. Therefore, this person is a gentleman in front of unfamiliar people, but in front of those who know him well, he'll be very presumptuous. But when the two are combined, the other person is someone who knows him well but doesn't know him well, so he should be calm and a little panicky." Sydney Pollack explained his understanding of the character.
"Very good, Sydney, very good. Obviously, I don't need to say anything more." Adriaan clapped his hands in approval.
Pollack's character was the boss of Dr. William, played by Tom Cruise. He was a successful man who looked decent on the surface but lived a rotten life in private. The story began at his cocktail party. He had overdosed on drugs while hanging out with prostitutes, so he had to ask Dr. William to deal with the aftermath.
To be honest, if Kubrick hadn't already decided on the actor, Adriaan really wanted to ask Woody Allen to play the role. With Kubrick and Adriaan's style, the combination of Kubrick and Adriaan should have been able to move him. Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to flirt with him.
"Okay, let's get started, Brian!" Adriaan clapped his hands and shouted.
"Yes, sir. What's up?" Brian Cook, one of the director's assistants, appeared in front of him. He had worked with Kubrick in Full Metal Jacket, but at that time, he was just a nobody.
In fact, most of the people in the crew who had worked with Kubrick were like this. For example, the younger brother of Kubrick's third wife, who had been in charge of the distribution of Kubrick's films, did not participate in the production of the film. Because of this, Adriaan basically did not encounter any obstacles in the process of taking over.
"Are Mr. and Mrs. Cruise here?" asked Adriaan.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Adriaan, but they haven't arrived yet." Cook spread out his hands.
"No?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows. "Have you called them?"
"Yes, his assistant told us that they will arrive in about 30 minutes," Cook replied carefully. He wasn't sure how Adriaan would react to the news.
"30 minutes?" Adriaan chuckled. "Okay, then let's do a test shoot now and find someone to replace Tom."
