gossip girl 9 英文- 第27部分

？Good；？　Ken　barked。　？Let？s　get　some　light　in　here！　This　is　the　real　thing；　people！？　

Serena　strolled　over　to　her　mark　on　the　set；　just　as　she？d　practiced　walking　yesterday。　

？Let？s　get　light；？　called　the　assistant　director。　

The　light　changed：　the　rest　of　the　room　grew　darker　but　the　spot　on　Serena　was　intensely　bright。　
She　didn？t　even　blink。　She　looked　up　into　the　light　and　she　couldn？t　see　anything　but　the　light；　and　
couldn？t　think　about　anything　but　standing　there　in　the　light。　She　was　Serena。　She　was　Holly。　She　
didn？t　know　who　she　was　anymore。　She　justwas　。　

Own　it；　she　reminded　herself。　

？Whenever　you？re　ready；　Holly；？　Ken　called　from　some…where　out　in　the　darkness。　

She　was　ready。　

Taking　a　deep　breath；　she　walked　to　the　bottom　step　of　the　tenement？s　stoop。　She　didn？t　hesitate；　

she　didn？t　count　her　steps；　she　didn？t　stumble　or　run。　Mounting　the　steps；　she　turned　to　face　the　
cameras；　inhaling　deeply。　

？It？s　a　nice　night；？　she　sighed。　？It？s　always　a　nice　night。？　

She　climbed　to　the　top　step　and　sat　down。　She　could　see　Ken　Mogul　watching　her　intently　as　he　
puffed　on　a　cigarette。　She　could　see　Blair；　standing　very　still　and　squinting　critically。　She　paused　
and　then；　with　a　heartbreaking　little　tremor　in　her　voice；　she　began　to　sing。　

Moon　River；　wider　than　a　mile　。　。　。　

I？ll　be　crossing　you　in　style；　someday。　

Dream　maker；　you　heartbreaker　。　。　。　


She　sang　through　all　the　verses　of　the　song；　unacpanied。　The　set　was　pletely　quiet　and　
the　light　so　strong　she　forgot　for　a　moment　who　she　really　was；　where　she　really　was：　for　the　
moment；　shewas　Holly；　and　she　was　singing　her　heart　out。　

She　finished　the　song　and　a　tiny　tear　rolled　down　her　cheek。　She　stared　into　the　light；　blinking　
and　half　smiling。　She？d　always　been　the　center　of　attention；　in　fact；　she　was　so　used　to　it　she　
barely　noticed　anymore。　But　this　was　the　first　time　she？d　ever　felt　like　a　star。　

There　was　a　long　moment　of　plete　and　utter　silence。　No　one　moved。　No　one　spoke。　

？Holly；？　whispered　Ken　quietly；　but　everyone　could　hear　him？it　was　that　quiet。　？That　was　
incredible。　Where　thefuck　have　you　been　keeping　that；　sweetheart？？　He　leapt　out　of　his　chair　and　
dashed　onto　the　set　to　scoop　her　up　in　his　arms。　Some　of　the　crew　actually　started　clapping。　Even　
Blair。　

？Ladies　and　gentlemen！？　Ken　Mogul　cried；　holding　Serena　closely　against　his　chest　and　spinning　
her　around　in　a　circle。　？A　star　is　born！？　

Ken　smelled　like　sauerkraut　and　espresso。　It　made　her　eyes　tear。　But　that　was　okay？she　was　
already　crying。

threesome！　

　？GG　

　sightings　

N　looking　moony　on　a　bench　on　Main　Street　in　East　Hampton。　Wonder　what　has　him　down？　D　
and　an　unidentified　girl　at　Jamba　Juice　in　Columbus　Circle；　？replenishing　their　fluids？　after　a　
tough　workout。　Hey　kids；　you　do　know　there　are；　like；　four　hotels　nearby；　don？t　you？　B　schlepping　
some　tightly　packed　garment　bags　to　her　mother？s　place　on　Fifth　Avenue。　Hasn？t　she　bought　
enough　this　summer？　Or　is　keeping　the　leftovers　just　a　fringe　benefit　of　her　new　career　in　fashion？　
T　buying　flowers　at　Chelsea　Market？just　a　little　token　for　his　favorite　leading　lady？　V　toting　her　
collected　works　to　the　Fifth　Avenue　mansion　where　she？s　working　now。　It　seems　that　her　new　boss　
is　quite　a　film　buff；　or　maybe　she？s　just　trying　to　get　fired　again　by　showing　her　charges　some　
really　twisted　stuff。　

Okay；　that？s　enough　with　the　sightings。　I　don？t　have　time　for　this；　really；　I？m　on　my　way　to　that　
amazing　vintage　boutique　on　Elizabeth　Street。　I　don？t　usually　go　for　old　clothes？　they　smell　like　
dead　people？but　I　thought　it　might　be　fun　to　dress　the　old…school　Hollywood　part　for　the　
old…school　Hollywood　party。　Oops；　I？ve　already　said　too　much！　

You　know　you　love　me。　

　gossip　girl　

a　real　hollywood　ending　

The　rooftop　bar　at　the　Oceana　Hotel　was　a　madhouse。　It　was　crowded　on　any　given　summer　night；　
but　throw　a　couple　of　movie　stars　into　the　mix　（okay；　one　movie　star　and　one　soon…to…be　movie　
star）　and　it　was　chaos。　The　open…air　rooftop　bar　and　pool　was　more　a　place　to　see　and　be　seen　


rather　than　a　place　to　talk　and　be　heard；　so　Serena　was　a　little　disappointed　when　Thaddeus　
suggested　it。　Now　that　the　pressure　of　filming　was　off　her　shoulders；　Serena　wanted　to　really　talk　
to　him；　to　get　to　know　him　as　a　person；　not　a　costar。　She？d　heard　a　rumor　that　he　was　going　to　be　
leaving　town　after　the　wrap　party；　which　was　tomorrow；　so　that　didn？t　leave　them　with　much　time　
together？and　she　hoped　that　something　might　finally　happen　between　them；　off…camera。　

Apparently　that　was　theonly　rumor　she？d　heard　about　him。　

？What　are　you　drinking？？　Thaddeus　shouted　when　their　waitress　approached　to　take　their　order。　
They　were　seated　in　what　was　supposedly　the　VIP　section；　but　there　was　nothing　to　distinguish　it　
from　the　rest　of　the　narrow　terrace；　except　for　the　fact　that　they　had　the　best；　most　unobstructed　
view　of　the　Hudson。　At　least　they？d　chosen　the　right　night　to　drink　by　the　river。　Fireworks　were　
going　off　all　over；　in　celebration　of　something　or　other。　Gay　Pride；　maybe？　Or　maybe　there　was　a　
marathon　today。　Serena　could　never　keep　things　like　that　straight。　

？Caipirinha；？　she　practically　shouted　into　his　ear。　

Thaddeus　repeated　this　to　the　starstruck　waitress；　who　hurried　off　to　fetch　the　drinks　that　would　
probably　be　on　the　house。　Thaddeus　never　had　to　pay　f
