Someone Like You: Chapter 3: Surprises


Ch 3

Ron followed Leila out of the office and towards the elevator. Moments later Krystal came out of her office and started talking to Nancy.

Krystal: I see my brother has taken a liking towards you

Nancy: I guess so...but he still doesn’t remember who I am

Krystal: Pretty ironic for a guy who has an eidetic memory

Nancy: Probably because I look nothing like how I used to look back then

Krystal: So, any harsh feelings?

Nancy shook her head: Nah...we were all young, and he seems different now...

Krystal: Are you going to tell him?

Nancy: Tell him what?

Krystal: How you two know each other?

Nancy: Nope...

Krystal: And if he figures it out...

Nancy: Then isn’t it a good thing?

Krystal smiled: You’re a nice girl, too bad my little brother didn’t notice that back then

Nancy: Maybe because I wasn’t so nice...

Krystal laughed: Well...whatever the reason, I’m glad you’re working here...because without you Florence and I wouldn’t know what to do

Nancy: Speaking of Florence, is she still with that client?

Krystal nodded: The man doesn’t seem to understand that she’s not into him, but at the same time he keeps on coming back in for a consultation, so technically it’s a win-win situation

Florence walked out of her office with her client

Florence: I’m sorry Mr. Lee...but the company policy is that we’re not allowed to date our clients, so I will try my best to find you someone who is more suitable

Mr. Lee: Please, just call me Johnson, we’ve known each other for quite some time now...and if that’s the case, I’ll be back again, maybe I could persuade you to work at a different company?


Florence smiled: I’m sorry; I can’t leave my best friend like that

Johnson: Well, if you change your mind, you know my number

Florence: Of course

Johnson: I’ll see you again sometime then

Florence: Bye

After Johnson had left, Florence walked over to where Krystal and Nancy were

Florence: Go ahead, let it out

The three of them broke out in laughter

Nancy: I think one day he’s going to come in here and propose to you

Florence: Then I’ll be ‘honest’ with him

Nancy: ‘Honest’ in what way?

Florence: I don’t know...I’ll just tell him I’m in a relationship with one of you (she laughed)

Krystal: Oh please...you’re not my type...and you’re definitely not Nancy’s type either

Florence: And what type is Nancy looking for? Someone like...your brother, perhaps? I notice how he looks at you...it’s a look of infatuation...

Nancy: And you can tell because that’s how your Johnson looks at you?

The three of them continued to laugh.

~ Tea Shop~

Ron: So...what would you like to know about me?

Leila: Just the basics...things a girlfriend would need to know about her boyfriend

Ron: Ok...like what?

Leila: Birthday

Ron: September 2nd

Leila: Ok...favourite colour

Ron: Hold up...I know you sent me this entire document with your relevant information and all...and I can easily read and memorize it...but...I propose that we get to know each other in a more human way

Leila: Right...because obviously apes can type 20 page documents

Ron: I mean...a more social way...like a normal couple would...

Leila: But we’re not a normal couple

Ron: Oh, believe me...I know that and I’m glad that this is all an act...but...if you want to make it believable, I suggest we do it like how a couple should

Leila: Fine...so, what do you propose we do now?

Ron: Well...since you asked, there is a place I’d like to go...

Leila looked at him: And is it a place where a normal guy can take his normal girlfriend on a normal date

Ron nodded: I’m not sure what you’re trying to allude to...but this is a perfectly normal place where a normal couple might go to

Leila: Fine, then let’s go

Ron paid for the tea that they didn’t drink and the two of them left the shop and started walking.

Leila: Aren’t we going back to the company to get our cars?

Ron: Nah, it’s just about 4 blocks away from here...and the weather is relatively good

Leila: First of all, you want me to walk 4 blocks? And second of all...it’s relatively good weather? Which means that it could rain...

Ron: Ya...so?

Leila: Do you think I can walk 4 blocks?

Ron looked at her: Even though you’re not exactly ‘fit’ but, I’m pretty sure you know how to walk and can walk...so...ya

Leila: And what if it rains?

Ron: It won’t...come on, before the weather decides to change

Leila: Fine, but next time...

Ron: Next time, what?

Leila: we should plan things out ahead of time

Ron: I see you’re not a fan of surprises

Leila: Let’s just say I like to have things under control

==========================
Sorry for the delay, I had a few midterms and big term end assignments and projects to do...and stuff that I still need to do. Anyways, I'm looking forward to continuing this fanfic...because I think the next chapter will be quite entertaining...so just wait and read.

Also, the other fanfics will be updated shortly. This week will involve a lot of writing...both for school and for this blog...so, be patient and enjoy.

Please leave a comment/comments on how you feel about this fanfic thus far and tell me how you feel about a Ron and Nancy pairing...or well, not exactly...but...ya..

Randomness...OUT!!!

You writing Ron and Nancy sounds kind of amusing, actually. This chapter was good, though.
