Someone Like You: Ch 5

Ok...I said Monday, and today is Thursday...sorry...I'm really bad at this time management business. I thought I would be updating the finale for Take 2...and then...it just didn't seem right...so instead...I worked on this one, and the newest one...cause both are mildly hilarious...in their entirety. Anywho, enjoy!!!

=======================

Leila quickly ran over to Ron up

Leila: Are you ok? I’m so sorry...I didn’t think that he would actually

Ron rubbing his cheek: I’m fine...but (he whispered) you owe me big time

Power: What is this? I search everywhere for you, and next thing I know you’re on the street with some punk

Ron: Punk? Just because you’re older than me, doesn’t give you the right to call me a punk, mister

Leila: I already told you I don’t want to be engaged to you, Power...

Power: So you rather choose some guy like him than be with a man like me

Leila: Yes, I love him

Ron couldn’t believe what he was hearing. She was going all out with this act, and it wasn’t like he didn’t enjoy the flattery, but...he would’ve preferred if it didn’t come with the price with a throbbing cheek.

Power: And you think this ‘love’ is going to feed you, and allow you to keep the lifestyle you have now? Think of the greater good...and...Think of me...think of us...we’ve known each other forever, Leila, I love you...

Leila: And I love you too...but...it’s not that type of love

Power: You know, I’m not going to give up...

Leila: Neither will I

Ron cleared his throat: I don’t really have anything to say...but the tension was more than I can take so...ya...

Power snickered: He doesn’t seem like your type

Ron: And what’s that supposed to mean?

Power: Childish, immature...

Ron: Maybe I’m exactly what she’s looking for...someone who is fun, loving, romantic, not tie and suit, oh so boring

Leila was surprised at his answer...for some reason it sounded really silly, but at the same time, it was true. She felt as though all her life revolved around doing the right thing. As a teenager, she never broke loose, got out of line...maybe this was that moment...when rebelling is the right thing to do.

Power: Boring...you think I’m boring. I’ve gone spelunking, climbed Everest, travelled around the world...you still think I’m boring?

Ron: Ya...I do. Rich people hobbies, not that great really. I’ve travelled around the world too, but as a pilot...I tried to go all over Europe, collecting roses to create the perfect bouquet...and for Leila, I’m willing to go beyond that...cause she deserves it...so, now if you’d excuse us...we have a date to continue

Ron turned to look at Leila and found that she was just staring at him. He smiled, walked over, grabbed her hand and the two of them walked heading back to the office off leaving Power speechless

Leila: Thanks

Ron: You owe me

Leila smiled: You can be pretty decent at times

Ron laughed: It’s true...I can be pretty decent...I hope you’re not starting to have feelings for me...cause you know...I can’t afford to injure this gift from God (making a gesture over his face) anymore

Leila laughed: You look fine...maybe even a bit macho

Ron: Macho? That’s the word you’re going to use...of all things...macho...

Leila: What’s wrong with that?

Ron: Oh, nothing...it’s just amusing how you make the connection between masculinity and being in a fight...

Leila: You’re trying to use psychology on me, again? You’re not even licensed

Ron: I’ve had a lot of female friends...

Leila: I don’t really care about your history...

Ron: You should...maybe one of my exes might go after you or something

Leila: doubt it

Ron: What are you doubting, the fact that I have a lot of exes, or the possibility that they might go after you

Leila: The possibility of them going after me

Ron smirked: I’m flattered

Leila: What?

Ron: You think that I have a lot of exes...

Leila: Flirtatious, spontaneous, somewhat charming...if you didn’t, I would think you’re gay, but if you are, I’m not a homophobe...

Ron: I’m not gay...and I’m flattered again...you know flattery isn’t going to cut it...look at this (points to his cheek)...what am I supposed to tell my mom?

Leila: You still live with your mom?

Ron: Correction, my mom lives with me...

Leila: Right...(she laughs)

Ron: Oh come on...I love having my mom around...so when I bought a bigger place, I invited her to live with me...

Leila: I’m not judging you, so you don’t have to justify your behaviour...

Ron: Not justifying...maybe I should take you home and introduce you to my mom...

Leila: Then I can introduce you to my dad...

Ron: That’s ok...I don’t want to get beaten up again...even if I can throw a pretty mean punch...I went through the police academy training, you know

Leila: You don’t have to try to impress me...it’s ok...

Ron: Why would I try to impress you?

Leila: I don’t know, maybe because I’m rich, smart and pretty...the type that needs impressing...

Ron looked at her: No thanks...you’re really not my type

Leila: And what’s your type? Pretty, busty...

Ron: Maybe...but I’m not that shallow...as long as we can carry out a decent conversation, share some common interests and

For some reason he had stopped, and seemed to have drifted off into his own world. She saw it happening, that look in his eyes, that genuine smile...he was probably thinking of someone

Leila: And?

Ron: She just has to be perfect in my eyes, with all her little imperfections...

Leila: Ok then...who are you describing? An ex-girlfriend?

Ron shook his head: That stuff is in the past...she’s my friend’s wife now...

Leila: Married...but you know divorces are common

Ron looked at her: Wow, you’re one of a kind...

Leila: What? I was trying to be supportive

Ron: I don’t think you’re very good at it

Leila : Whatever

Ron: Well...bye

Leila: What? You’re just going to leave me here

Ron : Ok...you need to calm down and realize where we are...ok? Breathe...

Leila: Oh shut up! You could’ve told me that we’re back at the company

Ron: You’re definitely a fine piece of work...I’ll go home now...

Leila: You can’t!

Ron: Excuse me?

Leila: It’s only 4:30...we have half an hour...and what if Power followed us...we’re supposed to be on a date...(she looked down) you’re still holding onto my hand

Ron immediately let go: Sorry...

And that was also the moment he heard someone call out his name...

====================

So, what did you think? You know...I just really like ending off with some 'mysterious' character for this fanfic...it's an interesting way. Not that the character is necessarily a new character...or anything...but ya

Well...I hope you did enjoy it...and I'll probably update again soonish...not this one, but probably the other new one...or something.

I'm not sure yet, cause I have a packed week coming up, followed by exams...and then I can finally say that I made it through 4 years of undergrad...

Alright, so leave me a comment/comments...or any questions about anything (yes, anything at all), and I will reply to them on the next update.

Randomness...OUT!!!
