A Truthful Lie: Finale

Thank you for all of your comments...I do hope you enjoy this...

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

He watched as she slowly descended the stairs and her eyes finally meeting his. A faint smile was seen appearing on her face, but the quizzical look in her eyes still remained.

Ron: You look amazing

Myolie: You don’t look so bad yourself

Ron chuckled: Thank you

Myolie: So, where’s your date?

Ron: She’s standing right in front of me, is she not?

Myolie: I thought you were coming here with Tavia

Ron: Something came up...

Myolie: What is it?

Ron: She broke up with me...

Myolie: Oh...but I can’t be your date for the evening, I’ve already agreed to be someone else’s date...

Ron: You could easily stand him up (He pouted) since your best friend is heartbroken, don’t you think you need to spend all this time cheering him up (he pointed to himself)

Myolie: There are plenty of other women around who could easily cheer you up

Ron looked at her: but they’re not you

Myolie looked at him: Fine...(she took his hand and the two of them took to the dance floor)

Myolie: What happened?

Ron: What?

Myolie: She didn’t break up with you...you broke up with her...

Ron: How did you know?

Myolie: Vanilla ice cream Ron, you’re always like that...

Ron: Not really...Tavia isn’t vanilla ice cream, I didn’t want her so badly because I couldn’t have her before...but it’s because...how about we go somewhere else to talk

Myolie: Sure...

The two of them left the dance floor and made their way to the courtyard, sitting on a small bench under the stars.

Ron: You know, when I made the decision to break up with Tavia, I really wanted to talk to you about it before I went to Tavia...it was weird, it was like I needed you to reassure me that the decision I was making was actually right, or something. But I remembered you said you wanted a break from me...and...you seemed a bit upset...so...

Myolie: You know, I could never really be upset with you...

Ron smiled: Anyways, I realized that the love I had for Tavia faded as time went on, but I was still holding onto that illusion that I was still very much deeply in love with her. Even when we met, her resentment towards me, seemed to strengthen this illusion, but once I was winning her back...spending time with her...being there for her...I realized, this affection I have towards her, isn’t the same as the one I had for her so many years ago. I still love her, but not in the same way. She’ll always be that very special woman in my heart, but not the type that moves me...and she realized that she felt the same way about me. We were both hooked onto the illusion that we could’ve been so magical together...but it was all an illusion...and so we broke it off...a mutual ending to a relationship that should’ve ended when it did before.

Myolie placed her hand on Ron’s shoulder: So, I guess you have matured...

Ron smiled and looked at her: I guess so...

Myolie: So, now what?

Ron: I’m not sure...I guess I’m once again that absolutely irresistible bachelor that women of all ages will swoon for

Myolie laughed: Oh, your ego makes me laugh...seriously Ron

Ron: Well, I’ll still be around, considering I promised my brother that I’ll stay for another year, but after that...I’m thinking about traveling...you?

Myolie: I’m sticking around for a while too...

Ron smiled: Then I’ll keep you company

Myolie: I’d like that...

Ron: Are you sure? Aren’t you afraid I might chase away all of your possible pursuers?

Myolie laughed: I’ll take the risk...I like having my best friend by my side

Ron: Me too...

Myolie: Wait...what about Leila?

Ron: She’s going away...

Myolie: What?

Ron: I really think she’s great, and would make a great lawyer, so I gave my friend in the States a call, recommending her...

Myolie: Ron Ng...

Ron: Then she asked me whether or not she should go for it...and I told her of course, it’s a great opportunity...and I sort of asked her about how she felt about me...and after all of that, we said our goodbyes and that’s it...

Myolie: When is she leaving?

Ron: Tomorrow...

Myolie: You could ask her...to stay... (She looked at him, almost as though hoping he’d say no)

Ron shook her head: I can’t do that...

Myolie: Why not?

Ron: I don’t feel that way about her, at least not now...she’s a great friend, she opened up my eyes to a world that I never knew, a world where a family was possible, a world of this amazing feeling of warmth...but...I’m not her cup of tea...and she’ll realize it over time...so why waste her time...and plus, if we were meant to be...she’d come back...

Myolie: Why not give it a chance?

Ron took Myolie’s hand: Do you really want me to?

Both his action and his question came without notice making her slightly frazzled...

Myolie cleared her throat: Why wouldn’t I?

Ron tried to meet her eyes as she continued to look away...

Ron: Because...you’re in love with me too...

Myolie faked a laugh: Stop flattering yourself

Ron: I might not have figured out the feelings Leila had towards me...but with you, I could, and I did after everything that happened. The nights we spend together, just talking, just pouring our hearts out to each other, all the little things we’ve done, and then that argument...Myolie...

Myolie: Ron, we’ve known each other for so long, scientifically speaking...

Ron: Don’t you go talking science to me Myolie Wu. When I was talking to Leila for the last time...and she asked me whether or not I had any feelings for her, my reply was automatically ‘I don’t know.’ When I asked myself whether I had feelings for Tavia, my reply to myself was ‘I do...but it’s not the same.’ And when I asked myself how I felt about you...I didn’t even have an answer...all that filled my mind at that moment was you, and I realized I was smiling just thinking about you...

Myolie: Ron...you’re just confused...and how do you know that I have feelings for you?

Ron: So you admit it?

Myolie: Just answer me first

Ron: Because...you’re always there, and you always knew what I wanted...but I wasn’t reciprocating any of that for you...yet, you still wanted to spend time with me, you still agreed to meet me in the middle of the night...you’re probably the greatest friend in the world. But, then it made me wonder, why would you always do those things for someone who is just a friend...even if I’m your best friend...it didn’t add up. So, the only illogical, logical explanation was that you fell in love with me...and you’re in love with me...

Myolie: So, what if I am...

Ron smiled: I love you too

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

What happens next is for you to imagine...I think this must have been an extremely unexpected ending...but...it felt right to me. From the very beginning I intended to have an RL ending...but as I continued to write this fanfic, I realized...it won't work out...just because it wouldn't make sense...and then the more I wrote about the interaction between Ron and Myolie...I realized I was setting them up for something...and well...there it is...

I hope all the RL fans aren't too disappointed...but I'd like to know what you think of my update. So please comment...and as an incentive...if I get 5 or more comments again...I will finally post the foreword to the newest RL fanfic...

I think the idea behind it might intrigue you and...so...please comment and await the 'birth' of something new and refreshing lol

Anywho...enjoy your weekend/long weekend and I'll be back shortly if I see that I've received my comments or something lol. Reposts of other fanfics will be found on my other blog, but I don't think I'll be posting anything this weekend on there, so check back next week Tuesday night.

Randomness...OUT!!!

PS. Thanks for reading and please comment!!!

A Truthful Lie: Ch 29

Wow...it's been a while, hasn't  it. Well the good news is...here is the brand new update, and the bad news is this is the second last chapter of this fanfic, which means...well...you know what that means. Enjoy!

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

Was Leila in love with him? Was he in love with Tavia? And, why was Myolie acting so strange? The more he thought about it the more it seemed to him like he was a character in some poorly written story where the male lead ends up with no one by his side. But, he refused to have such an ending, because his ego confirmed that he must be the male lead in such story...and he needed some time.

Eventually it came down to Leila’s last day at the company as Ron’s assistant and protégé. Around 5, when everyone was getting ready to leave Ron noticed Leila was starting to pack up her own things. She had rejected going out with the others for a farewell party and told them that she wanted to really etch the memory of this place into her mind, which was why she was still packing up her things. Ron was still in his office and as soon as everyone but Leila left, he walked out to have a word with her.

Ron: Hey, it’s your last day

Leila: Yup...

Ron: Would you mind doing some overtime?

Leila: Really Mr. Ng, on my last day

Ron: Just call me Ron...and I really need your help

Leila: I guess I could...

Ron smiled: Great

Leila: So, what do you want me to help you with?

Ron: Well...it’s actually something personal...but since this company is owned by my father, technically, if it’s a personal matter, it would affect this company as well

Leila smiled: Sure...whatever you say

Ron: Ok...so, I need to know whether or not you’re in love with me

His question had caught her off guard

Leila slightly blushed: What? And to think I thought your ego was deflating

Ron: Don’t change the topic, answer my question

Leila: No

Ron: You’re lying...you have feelings for me...

Leila: I don’t...you just think that every single woman out there would...

At that moment he embraced her, and he felt her heart race just a little bit, and her face slightly becoming warmer. He didn’t want to let her go, he just wanted to hold onto that feeling for just a bit longer...but she had pushed him away

Leila: What are you doing?

Ron: Proving a point

Leila: So, you proved your point...I have feelings for you...but I know you don’t feel the same way

Ron: You should’ve told me...when I offered you that opportunity to further your studies in the states, you should have told me

Leila: Then what? You’re with Tavia now, isn’t that what you’ve always wanted? I didn’t want to be the third wheel and break up something that lasted for so long...

Ron: But...I’m not in love with Tavia...and we actually broke up recently...

Leila: What? How?

~Flashback~

A few days before

Ron knocked on Tavia’s office door and was told to come in

Ron: Hey

Tavia: I was just going to call you

Ron: Ok, great...let’s have dinner tonight

Tavia: Sure, cause, we need to talk

Ron: Ya, I know...so, I’ll pick you up after work then

Tavia: Sounds good

~ La Ristorante~

Tavia: Italian?

Ron: I thought we’d change it up a bit...

Tavia: I like it, it’s nice here...so...

Ron: Right...you can go first...

Tavia: Sure. I think that it’s great that we’re back together but, it doesn’t feel the same

Ron: Ya, that’s what I wanted to say as well

Tavia: Oh, I think we should break up

Ron nodded: I think that makes sense

Tavia smiled: I didn’t think breaking up could be so easy...especially when we were together for so long before, and then we got back together again

Ron: I know...it’s really weird. But, you know that I love you and care for you and I probably will always love and care about you...

Tavia: And I feel the same way about you...but...it’s a different kind of love, isn’t it?

Ron: Ya...it is. It’s definitely not that passionate young love we had back then...but it was nice to be able to make you smile again and hold you in my arms

Tavia: It was nice...to get rid of the burden of holding onto unresolved feelings I had for you...you’re a great guy, Ron...and any woman would be lucky to have you...especially since you’ve matured

Ron laughed: It sounds like you’re saying that I’ve grown up to be a fine man

Tavia laughed: But too bad I have to let you go

Ron took a hold of her hand: No, you don’t have to...we’ll always be friends...and that’s not weird, right?

Tavia: Being friends with your Ex, no...I think everyone is doing that these days

Ron: Good...cause I don’t want to lose you again...

Tavia noticed he was still wearing that old watch she gave him long ago.

Tavia: I think it’s time for a new watch

Ron: I think so too...

~End of flashback~

Leila: That explains the new watch you’re wearing...

Ron: Ya...it does. So...

Leila: Do you have feelings for me?

Ron: I...don’t know...

Leila: Oh...rejected on my last day of work...

Ron: I may not know whether or not I have feelings for you, but I do know that you’ve somehow found a place in my heart and everytime I get the chance to hold you and embrace you, it feels great...but because I don’t know how I feel about you, I can’t ask you to stay

Leila: Why not? If you ask me...

Ron: No, I want you to take hold of that opportunity and create a good future for you and your son...staying here because you want to see whether or not we have something would only waste your time and talent. Let’s just hold off our feelings, whether or not they truly exist and walk forward into a better future...ok?

Leila: I never took you for a sensible type

She gave him a peck on the cheek

Ron: That’s it?

Leila: You’re the one who told me to hold off my feelings, yet you wanted something more...isn’t that a bit greedy

Ron laughed: come on...one proper kiss...

He slowly leaned in and Leila thought he was going to kiss her on the lips...but instead, he kissed her on her forehead, and held her close to him for just a moment.

Ron: I’ll miss you...but...don’t you miss me too much

Leila: Oh please, there are probably a lot of charming men there...so you shouldn’t worry about me missing you

Ron: Good...I guess now I should help you pack up, drive you home and then we could...

Leila’s face turned pink: We could, what?

Ron laughed: Say our last farewells...wait, were you thinking about something else?

Leila: No...

Ron: Oh...was it, hot passionate sex?

Leila punched him on the arm

Ron laughed: I was just kidding...unless...you know...I’m cool with that too

Leila laughed: Really? Maybe when I get back...

Ron: Is that a date?

Leila: Sure, unless you’re taken...then...oh well...

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

Tadaa...so now, we'll have to wait and see what happens in the finale...which I actually finished writing...and it will be posted once I get at least 5 comments for this chapter...and multiple comments will suffice lol

Alright, have a great weekend

A Truthful Lie: Ch 28: Just Right

Ch 28

She woke up the next morning and walked into the guest room where Ron was still sleeping. She didn’t know why he had come up to her place in the middle of the night...but she knew it wasn’t because he missed her. It was always like this. She was his rock, his shoulder to lean on...and he said that he would do the same for her...but for some reason the time for her to lean on him never arrived.

He slowly opened his eyes to realize that she was standing at the door just looking at him. A smile appeared on his face at the sight of her still in her PJs.

Ron: Good morning beautiful

Myolie: Good morning

Ron: No coffee today?

Myolie: I just woke up as well

Ron: Ah...how about we both just go back to sleep...I mean...you can join me here...and we could just cuddle up

Myolie: I think you forgot that you’re in a relationship

Ron smiled: That’s true...for a moment there, I thought we were together...

Myolie smiled: I think you’re still asleep...since you’re obviously dreaming...I’ll give you some time to wake up, while I go wash up and change

Ron: Aww...but I like you in your PJs

Myolie: Oh well

With that she smiled and walked back into her room.

Ron slowly got up and out of bed towards the bathroom. He looked himself in the mirror and wondered just what exactly he wanted. Why was he here? Did he really want to talk to her, or was he there because he wanted to simply see her? He quickly washed up and walked out to the living room where he sat there waiting for her.

Ron: Do you really need to take that long

Myolie: What? Do you want me to walk out naked?

Ron: Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if you did...it’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before

Myolie: That doesn’t count...we were five. How do you even remember?

Ron: How do you remember?

She walked out and threw a pillow at him

Ron chuckled: Since you can’t beat me with words, you’re getting physical now?

Myolie threw another pillow at him: And what if I am?

Ron picked up the pillow and started going after Myolie with it.

Myolie: Ron Ng...You better drop that pillow, or else

Ron: Or else what?

She went head first and tackled him onto the couch. The both of them broke out in laughter.

Ron: This was your ‘or else’?

Myolie: Yup...what do you think?

Ron: I like it... (he slowly wrapped his arms around her)...I like it alot

Myolie instinctively pushed him away and got back onto her feet.

Myolie: Ron...you’re getting carried away again...

Ron: Right...sorry...but really, it’s not my fault...there’s something about you that makes me...I don’t know

Myolie: The great Ron Ng is lost for words...I think I’ve accomplished a nearly impossible feat

Ron smiled: Thanks

Myolie: For what?

Ron: For being you...for letting me in, in the middle of the night...for waking me up...and throwing things at me...and tackling me down...

Myolie smiled: That’s really sweet...but again, if Tavia heard you say those things...

Ron: I think she always knew that you had and always will have a special place in my heart

Myolie: Ok...so, you came in the middle of the night...because?

Ron: I’m not sure

Myolie: You’re not sure...Ron...you do realize we’re not kids anymore...you can’t come to my place in the middle of the night because you feel like it

Ron: I know...but...why not? I wouldn’t mind if you come over to my place in the middle of the night...

Myolie: Really? Do you even know how many times I’ve done that...and you weren’t home. Sometimes I wanted someone to talk to too...but you just weren’t there. I feel like in this odd relationship between us...

Ron: I’m sorry...I guess...I haven’t been the best of friends when I should be. It’s just...sometimes I just really really want to see you...and I have no logical explanation as to why. Like last night, after going out with Tavia...without even realizing where I was going, I ended up in front of your place. I pretended that I wanted to fill you in on my date with Tavia...but...what I really wanted to do...was see you.

Myolie: Why?

Ron: I don’t know...maybe...you can help me answer that one?

Myolie: I think it’s best if you can sort out your own thoughts...oh...my dad asked if we were going to be dance partners at the company ball...I think we shouldn’t

Ron: Why ?

Myolie: I think I need a little break from you...cause I have some thoughts to sort out as well

Ron: Ok...if that’s what you want...

She took a seat next to him

Ron took a hold of her hand: I promise I’ll be around more in the future...and if you ever want to talk to me, just give me a call

Myolie smiled: Sure...but...I also wanted to talk to you about something...

Ron: Ok...what is it?

Myolie: Since we’re not going as partners this year...I agreed to go with someone else...

Ron looked at her: Mr. Chan?

Myolie nodded

Ron: Interesting...do you think I should break up with Tavia?

Myolie: What?

Ron: I don’t know...lately I’ve been questioning whether or not I’m really in love with her...or if it’s just an infatuation...

Myolie: Vanilla ice cream...

Ron: I guess...I don’t know...

Myolie: So, what made you question it?

Ron: It was when I embraced Leila...

Myolie: So, you’re in love with Leila now?

Ron: No...I don’t think I am...it’s just this feeling that I get...it’s hard to describe...but when I’m with Tavia...we just feel like this old couple who are together cause we’ve been together...if that makes any sense. Whereas with Leila...I feel as though I make her heart race a bit, I make her blush...it’s nice to be able to do that...

Myolie: And...how do you feel when...we’re together

Ron looked at her: It feels right...not sure what that’s supposed to mean...but...ya

Myolie: I’m glad it feels right...and...Ron, I think Leila might be in love with you...

Ron: I guess that’s a possibility...and would explain her blushing, and raised heart rate...but then...

Myolie: I think you should go home and think things through...

Ron: You’re probably right...ok...since you want some time...I guess I won’t be randomly appearing in front of you any time soon...so we’ll talk again at the ball?

Myolie: I’d like that...a lot

Ron smiled: Great

The two of them got up and walked towards the door...before leaving, Ron wrapped his arms around her and embraced her...and he was right...it did feel...just right

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

What? Another Ron and Myolie filled chapter...what's going on? Ah...I don't know either. I think it was expected and...the next chapter will also be the second last chapter...yes...this fanfic is coming to an end. The next chapter will be filled with TaRo as well as RL moments...and I'm really anticipating the RL scenes that I have planned...it's going to be...nice.

As for TaRo...I think we all know what's to come and...I hope that if you're a TaRo fan...keep an eye out for The Stalker...which I will update next week. I also have another installment of Off the Records in mind...a TaRo filled installment...but...I think I'll do that when it's closer to my exam as a stress reliever.

Anywho...I really need to stop rambling. Please, remember to leave me a comment or many comments. I always look forward to reading them, and I thank you all for reading my fanfic. 

Randomness...OUT!!!

Have a fantabulous day!
