Chapter 209 209
"I heard that you are still a very good singer?" Nicole, who was standing next to him, asked with interest.
"You mean the ending song of the movie?" Tom looked at his wife curiously.
"No, I read in the newspaper that Hugo wrote a song on the 'Oprah Talk Show'." Nicole explained briefly, and then looked at Hugo again, "Is that really true?"
Looking at Tom and Nicole in front of me, there is indeed a tacit understanding between the two that is envied by outsiders. No matter whether the rumors about the truth of their marriage are true or not, it is undeniable that the two have been together from 1990 to 2000. Having spent ten years of married life together, it is indeed very rare in the circle of Hollywood fans.
Uma, who was standing next to him, chuckled, "Hugo, if it's true, then I think you owe me a guitar performance. I have never heard your guitar play live."
Uma's words suddenly made Nicole's eyes widen, "Are you serious?" After receiving confirmation from Uma's nod, Nicole wrinkled her high nose and said playfully, "Hugo, That's not what a good man should do. You know, women always expect romance."
Hugo's eyes turned back and forth between Uma and Nicole, and then looked at Tom with a wry smile, "When did they form an alliance?"
Tom shrugged and exclaimed, "Woman." A word made all four of them chuckle.
Only then did Hugo explain with a smile, "Yes, I'm a little bit involved in music. But I don't know, now the news has been blown from Chicago to Los Angeles."
But Nicole didn't plan to answer the question behind Hugo, but looked at Uma, "It seems that he really owes you a performance, you should give him a little punishment." The women's front immediately laughed. , his eyes fell on Hugo, and he looked at him with hair.
Hugo hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, "It's just a song, there's no need to be so serious?"
Nicole and Uma looked at each other, and then said in unison, "Man..." and deliberately dragged the long ending, making the four of them laugh happily again.
At this time, the music in the hall stopped and changed, and it turned into a slow four dance music. The lights were turned off by one-third, the light was dimmed, and then the middle part was vacated, forming a small dance floor. There were many people. They all slid onto the dance floor in pairs and danced.
Hugo was quite surprised to see this scene, "I didn't expect such a link."
"The New Year's Eve party, the dance is an indispensable part." Uma said, and Nicole nodded in agreement on the opposite side. This awakened Hugo's memory. Indeed, there are such plots in many love movies. At the New Year's Eve, the pair hugged and danced to a song, then counted down together, and finally kissed to welcome the New Year.
"So, you don't plan to invite Uma to dance the first dance tonight?" Nicole looked at Hugo with a smile, and there was a little bit of banter in her tone, which was really not quite the same as Nicole's glamorous appearance. Yes, you can feel it. In the brief conversation just now, Nicole still left a very good impression on Uma. "As an elegant and beautiful lady like Uma, I think there are many men who are willing to invite her to dance. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will miss it. Besides, if you miss the guitar, do you still miss the first dance? ?"
Hugo turned his head to look at Uma, and saw the bright smile on Uma's face, but Hugo was a little embarrassed. He didn't know anything about dancing like the waltz. To be precise, he didn't know much about most dances. Research, which suddenly asked him to dance, was a challenge that was several times more difficult than music and acting.
Tom gave Hugo a "I can't help" look, then bent down slightly and stretched out his right hand to Nicole, "Beautiful lady, can you dance with me?"
"Of course, my knight." Nicole took Tom's right hand, winked at Hugo, then hugged Tom and slid onto the dance floor. And Tom turned around, his eyes crossed with Hugo, and cast a pitying look at Hugo, making Hugo feel very helpless.
Hugo looked around and saw that there was neither Joseph nor Sidney. In fact, it took only ten minutes for them to arrive at the scene. Maybe a dance was a good choice, although he was a little tangled. But for Uma, it's really important.
So, Hugo took a deep breath, looked at Uma who was smiling, took a half step back awkwardly, put his left hand behind his back, put his right hand on his left shoulder and made a knightly salute, then raised his right hand, "This lovely and beautiful Madam, may I have the honor to dance with you?"
Uma actually didn't have too many ideas, because she knew that Hugo had a mission to come to the party tonight. The chat with Tom and Nicole just now was just socializing, but now, Hugo really invited I danced myself, and, listening to Hugo's words, everything was centered on Uma, which made Uma suddenly feel a throbbing. No woman could refuse such an invitation, especially when she saw Hugo's amber eyes gleaming in the dim light.
"My honor, His Royal Highness." Uma grabbed the hem of her white lace skirt and gave a half-squatted salute before holding Hugo's right hand. Uma immediately felt the sweat in Hugo's palm. When she looked up, she saw the tension in Hugo's cheeks and the panic in his eyes. This tension made Uma smile. Hugo like this was her first times seen. Some clumsy, some jerky, but some beautiful.
Hugo looked at how the others were doing, and then put Uma's right hand on his left shoulder, and he put his left hand on Uma's waist, and then put on a posture. When everything was ready, Hugo didn't take a step, but asked in a low voice, "Uh, left or right?"
This made Uma burst into a low laugh, but seeing the shallow blush on Hugo's face, Uma felt as if she had been knocked over by a honey pot, and said with a smile, "Your right foot, Take four steps slowly, just follow my pace and step slowly, there are only four rhythms, it is not difficult, don't be nervous."
Hugo nodded quickly, but the tension in his neck made him feel a little stiff. Hugo watched Uma's footsteps from the corner of his eyes, took a step forward, took another step forward, then joined his feet, then took a small half-step to the left, turned the soles of his feet slightly, and repeated the first action again. This action doesn't seem to be difficult, but when you perform it, you always feel that your footsteps are not obeying your command. When you stop, you move forward, when you need to retreat, you stop, and when you turn around, you move forward. This looks like a complete mess.
Hugo couldn't take his eyes away from Uma's footsteps at all, and could only clumsily follow Uma's footsteps, stepping forward step by step. Even so, Hugo kicked or stepped on Uma's foot from time to time, making the whole four-step slow look like a stuck gear.
So, there was such a weird scene on the dance floor, two people were dancing bumpily, the woman was turning with the man, but the man was obviously too clumsy and kept interrupting their dance steps, which made the original simple and smooth The graceful four-step slow looks like a mechanical dance, which makes people laugh.
"Oh, sorry." Hugo stepped on Uma's high heels again, bit his lower lip angrily, and wrinkled his cheeks.
Uma burst out laughing, "Don't be nervous, relax, relax." In fact, Hugo already knows the basic dance steps, but he is too nervous and lacks self-confidence. He always feels that he can't do well, so his steps are easy. Being stuck, this will cause the two people to constantly bump into each other.
Hugo could only laugh helplessly, "I'm working hard." But before he could say anything, he touched Uma's feet again, which made Hugo lowered his head in frustration, and then looked at Uma's With watery eyes, Hugo took a deep breath and simply hugged Uma directly in his arms. Then the two of them hugged tightly like this, slowly turning circles in place, stepping on unruly steps, feeling each other's heartbeats. Such a moment is full of melting warmth.
Uma tilted her head and placed a kiss on Hugo's neck, stood on tiptoe and whispered in Hugo's ear, "Why don't you try again? Now that it's all started, it's always bad to give up, and , you've danced really well just now, just try harder."
Hugo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after seeing the anticipation on Uma's face, he didn't say "forget it" after all, just nodded, "I will try my best not to step on you."
Hugo took Uma's hands again, and then slowly stepped on the steps he just learned, but Hugo's talent in dancing is really not very good, and he is still a little clumsy. In this way, Hugo held Uma's hand and stumbled four steps on the dance floor. This was not romantic and a little ridiculous, but it made people smile involuntarily.
Under the leadership of Hugo, Uma's long white evening dress was slightly curved. Although it was not ostentatious, it was beautiful and unusual; from time to time, Hugo's footsteps would stumble, causing the two of them to have to start over again. Adjust the dance steps and set off again. The eyes of the two people are always watching each other, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths slowly bloom in the dance steps under their feet.
Uma bit her lower lip and whispered, "Tonight's bad dance can't be considered compensation, you still owe me a guitar."
Hugo's face immediately showed joy, "Of course, of course. The dance doesn't count. I will definitely play a guitar for you myself, no, there are no problems with more songs." Hope to say, "How about this dance ends here?"
Looking at Hugo's eager expression, Uma couldn't help but smiled playfully, "That's not good, this is just the beginning."
Hugo's wide-eyed and full of anticipation expression freezes like this. It's really unbearable. Uma slumped into Hugo's shoulders and laughed sullenly. Her shrugged shoulders could clearly see her. How hard it was to suppress his laughter at this time.
