The embarrassment Rebecca had felt after that moment of silence with Taron could not be explained. She had basically poured out her soul to him, and he had nothing to say. Yes, she took flight, but she had expected him to do something charming like call her back, even if he did not have feelings for her, at least, to let her down gently. Maybe it was because she had been watching too much romantic movies and Korean dramas, and so she expected the men to be just as wonderful as the ones she watched, maybe that was why she had felt so disappointed. But it did not matter! She thought Taron was better than the other men because he had seen him relate with people, and he acted like someone with good character. That was why she admitted her feelings to him. But he left it hanging, as if she had not said anything at all, and she felt ignored and undervalued. Which was why she had called in sick to work and gone to get a drink and dance at the club. Just to get herself in high spirits a
Taron had decided to take Rebecca out to talk and see the stars, and he had already organised the whole thing with a restaurant, all that was left was for him to get Rebecca down to follow him after working hours. Which was going to be a little bit difficult, because he had barely spoken to her all day, and he certainly did not want to admit— to tell Rebecca about his feelings for her in the office. That was what she had done, and it would have been unoriginal. He wanted it to be better, and his mother had already told him to show her, not tell her, and that was what he was going to do. As if the universe was in agreement with his plans, a far away meteor shower was going to be in full view, and Taron had built front seats at a restaurant by the ocean. He knew that things like that fascinated Rebecca, and with that, he would be sure to win her over. Right after he asked her to come with him, that is. Taron looked himself over in the mirror in his office to make sure that every
Taron felt uncomfortable as he drove Rebecca out of the building. She had not said a word, she had just gone into the car obediently and she was quiet. That was unusual, Rebecca was not always this silent. She loved to talk about a lot of things. It did not take a rocket scientist to know why she was being moody, though. "You're being awfully quiet." Taron said. "Oh, I'm sorry, I just have nothing to talk about currently." Rebecca shrugged, her face still set straight. "I'm sorry that you could not go back home to do what you wanted to do, but this is very important." Taron said. "I had very important things to do back at my place too, but it looks like some things have to shift." Rebecca said. "Suck it up, you work here, the only reason you're giving me this attitude is because I allow you to be informal with me, stop being a brat and think about your life." Taron said in annoyance and Rebecca took in a sharp breath. She realised that Taron was right. She was only
"I don't know, a kitchen party sounds kind of private, are you sure that your mom would not mind me being there?" Rebecca asked Taron. She was wearing a pretty sundress. "She will not, trust me, she loves you already," Taron stated as he drove. "or do you just not want to go? Because if you don't, that's also fine, you'd just stay here and I'd see you next time." Taron shrugged. "No, I want to come, I'm just nervous, and you know, kitchen party sounds very personal." Rebecca said. "It's going to be the first event that I will attend since I came back." Taron said and they both fell into silence. "What was it like?" Rebecca finally mustered the courage to ask. "Being taken away, what happened there? What did they do to you?" "Do you really want to know?" Taron looked at Rebecca for a split second as he continued to drive. Rebecca sighed after thinking it through. "I do, my curiosity might end up killing me if I don't hear it." "Well, for starters, they kept on cha
Taron was feeling extremely nervous. He had already planned to ask Rebecca to be his girlfriend, hit the problem was that he did not know what to do. He wondered if he could take her out for ice cream and cake, or if a walk by night would be appropriate. He did not care about the cost, obviously, but he wanted the greatest level of intimacy, and nothing screamed intimacy like walking together, hand in hand in the night, talking about each other's hopes and fears. “Rebecca,” Taron called. He was not going to make the mistake of waiting till it was almost time for them to set out before he asked her. “are you going to be free tonight?” “I should be, why? Do you want to take me somewhere tonight?” Rebecca asked. “Actually, I want to go on a walk with you, if that is alright, but if you don't like that idea, maybe I can take you out for dinner.” Taron shrugged. “Oh, that is okay, I'd love to walk with you.” Rebecca grinned at Taron, and then she left the office with glee o
Taron blushed as Rebecca's kiss had caught him by surprise, but it didn't take for him to get over the embarrassment and kissed her back. Loud cheers echoed from behind and they were surprised by the large crowd that had formed. Some pictures had been taken and even the paparazzi were around. "How could the paparazzi be here?" Rebecca couldn't believe that the press would be here for something like a small fire. "Well here goes our time". Taron had displeasure in his tone and disappointment in his eyes. The reason why the paparazzi came to the office was not because of the fire but because the person who rushed into the fire was the successor of Pablo chain of Business. Taron, of course. Rebecca was shocked to see the paparazzi taking pictures and asking questions. She had had some exposure with being in the spotlight, since she basically followed Taron around, but this was too much. The crowd called Taron a hero and praised him for how brave he was. And people from th
Tarim stood on the podium in front of a lot of people who were cheering for him. All because he saved Maria and her baby. Tarpon had gotten tired of the gifts and random visits and stalking, so he told Rebecca, in spite of what he had originally wanted, to make an event where he could address everyone who wanted to give their regards and thanks, so that it would stop once and for all. "I mean, you are basically a hero now, so you have to get used to it." Rebecca shrugged. "Anyone else would have done what I did, Rebecca, don't be so dramatic too." Taron shook his head. "There was a massive crowd there, but none of them stepped in, you currently have no argument." Rebecca flipped her hair in his face and sashayed away. Taron was enjoying being in a relationship with Rebecca, and so was she. If he knew that it would have been this easy to give and receive love, then he would have asked her to be his girlfriend from the very first day. Rebecca adjusted the microphone and sta
The ruckus had all passed and Taron and Rebecca were enjoying their lives as a new couple, and in his heart, Taron was starting to believe that Rebecca was the one for him. He loved Rebecca and always thought of her before he did anything, but the scars he had gotten from Selena had done him a good number. “Taron? Baby, what’s wrong?” Rebecca asked Taron after she saw him looking out into space, distracted. They were on a date at a fancy restaurant, and Taron was trying to put the past behind him. He was in a relationship with Rebecca, and Rebecca was definitely not Selena. There was no similarity, especially behavior-wise, and Taron felt terrible for thinking about Selena when they were having alone time. Rebecca was having fun. Being with Taron was easily the best decision she had made all year. Taron was so sweet, and he paid attention. He not only listened, but he remembered whatever it was that she had said, so it was easier. Taron was not listening to her. Sure, she was
