01h50pm With Leo we walked hand in hand. He did not ask me for an explanation but I think to give it to him in abbreviated version and lightened a little later. We found an Italian restaurant in the area and two pizza cost us a whopping $ 60. Upper East Side is not a neighborhood where to stop for ordering fast food. Currently, we are waiting Steve at the bottom of my building.

A sublime car stops near us, a boy who is not more than eighteen years old comes out and rushes towards me. He grab my hands. "Miss Hanckok, I am John. I volunteered to pick you up. I was not the only one but your father pointed to me. I'm very happy to meet you, but it's a shame that you wear a cap and sunglasses, it hides your beauty. By the way, who is this boy next to you? Is this your agent? Yes I guess it is, nice to meet you, Miss Hanckok's agent."

This guy is crazy. I control my laughter but Leo does not laugh. He takes John's hands away from mine And answers before me. "My name is Leo and I'm Lisa John's boyfriend so keep your dirty hands away from her."

John shakes his head. "Impossible, it's impossible. If I believe this accent, you are French and Lisa deserves an American like me. Leo take a plane and do not bother Lisa, you will be a good boy."

He's crazy it's confirmed. "That's enough. John, glad to meet you, but I'm sorry Leo is my boyfriend and I'm very happy with him. For the moment we would do well to go quickly to the theater otherwise I think my father will be angry with you."

John backs up smiles and opens the front door and invites me to sit down. Leo opens the back door and takes my hand. We sit both in the back and I have the feeling that this trip will be fun. All along the road that leads us to the theater, I try to calm my laugh as I can because these two idiots do not stop to insult and fight verbally for any reason. According to John, a guy as ugly as Leo deserves a monkey for girl friend and he still thinks he is generous by saying that. Abruti, asshole, little dick, shit bag ..., the sweet words do not stop ringing in my ears. When finally we arrive at the Majestic Theater, John locks the door of Leo and runs to open my door. Leo passes over the seat, exits through the driver's door, removes the keys and throws them into sewers. Two kids, they are two kids in puberty who accompany me. John looks at the keys missing and his face whitens. He runs inside the theater shouting to Leo that this time, he will return to France with a good kick in the ass. When he comes back, he has a smile on his face but the man who accompanies him does not smile and only stares at Leo with a dark look.

He gets closer to Leo and I feel that this guy is not kidding. He is not a sweet person who can be pissed off without retaliation behind. I put myself in front of Leo whose size is equal toto mine thanks to my heels of four centimeters. "Sir, do not hit him. If you help me lift the plaque I'll go get your keys and everything will work out, okay?"

He calms down a bit, probably not wanting to hit me. "Who are you little girl?"

I expire because very frankly this guy is pretty thick and if he put me a right, I would feel it. "I'm his girlfriend and I'm sorry but these two morons did not stop to behave like children and that's how it ended."

He looks at me strangely. Do not he like the cap style in dress? "It's not you who made the mistake so let me hit this bastard."

I take my smartphone because in my opinion Steve must know him. If he managed to make him listen to reason, then everything would be fine. I call Steve just telling him to come quickly to the theater and I hang up. "My father may persuade you to calm down, but in the meantime, hit a garbage can, for example, to release the pressure."

He takes me by the wrist and stares at me. The strength he has this bastard. "Trash can? you take me for a small dick?."

I do not have time to answer when I hear a serious voice that I know well that gives me hope. "Matt what are you doing to my daughter? If you want to fight with someone come here."

Oh, he lets me go. "Shit, you would had to say that you were Steve's daughter, we would have saved time. We start again. Matt, director and incidentally in a bad mood. Hello Lisa your father always boasts of your exploits. John, I'm sure you pissed off that kid so you sinks in the sewers yourself, shit bag."

I touch my painful wrist. "Hi Matt, Lisa Hanckok and here is my boyfriend Leo Archeville. You have strength."

Steve comes to see me and still caresses my head. He asks me for explanations that I give him. He looks at Leo with some annoyance. "Leo, are you exactly twenty-one? So how is it that my pretty little Lisa is forced to take your defense, idiot kind who likes to throw the keys of others anywhere?"

Since earlier I noticed that Leo is paralyzed. The majority of these guys from beautiful neighborhoods lack a little balls. "Sorry Mister Hanckok, I behaved like a child."

Steve takes my hand and smiles. "Come on Lisa, I'll finally show you the magic of the Theater. You also idiot come do not stay on the sidewalk, unless you want Matt to change his mind and give you a good punch."

It's dark and I'm told about 1927 construction of the theater. Adam style common, Palladian motifs, a Spanish reminder that gives this theater a unique appearance. Arched windows and Spanish brick wall ornaments. Steve asks me to remember that this was a theater that was very avant-garde for its time because only one large balcony was created, replacing the two usual little ones that later no longer pleased the public. And he talks to me about ... .... The plays that were played between the thirties and now are too many Steve, stop, stop. My head overheated and it's 07h35 pm as we talk about the aspect of the stage and the curtain. I pretend to want to piss, I run outside, I call a taxi and give my address. Successful escape, sorry Steve and Leo but I could not take it anymore.

Three hours of details, dates and stuff I do not understand were not right for my patience and were way too much for my little brain.

I come home to see Selena who is not guilty of the small and cruel game of Emie that I still do not want to see. But crossing his eyes I lower the shameful head of myself. She does so much for me and my way of thanking her is that of a thankless. "Sorry Selena, I did not want to leave like this. My anger took over and you were a victim. I really did not want to."

She hugs me and strokes my face. "It does not matter, sweetie, the fact that you apologize so sincerely makes me happy. But where do you think his father and Leo are?"

I had forgotten and she reminds me of these two abandoned men. "I escaped the theater after three hours of explanations about its construction. I could not stay, so I gave up Leo who seemed to enjoy. Me, I did not understand anything so I did not want to appear idiot yet, so I fled."

Selena bursts out laughing. "Lisa, three-hour congratulation, my longest time in a theater with Steve where he produces a piece for the first time and thirty minutes. I am proud of you. Three hours pfff. By the way tomorrow morning, at 11h00 am someone will come to meet you and if it goes well between you two he will be your agent. He's a very tough professional so behave sweetie."
