NEW FANFIC: Someone Like You: Foreword

Ah...finally...a new fanfic...it's been a while since I started a new one. I realized I still have a couple of unfinished fanfics...so I'll put up a quick poll to see which one I should continue and which one I should just put on an endless hiatus. Anyways...without any further delay...I give to you my newest fanfic:

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

Mary: Ron...don’t you think it’s time you got yourself a job?

Ron: Mom...I’m a multimillionaire, why should I get a job...I could live the rest of my life doing nothing

Mary: Uh huh...except for loafing around in my house

Ron smiled: I love you?

Mary: oh please...if you love me, you would’ve given me a grandchild by now

Ron: Me? Why aren’t you complaining to Krystal (Tin)...she’s older...?

Mary: Your sister’s been busy, running her business...why won’t you give her a hand?

Ron: I did...I created her website and even put in a small investment...isn’t that enough help?

Mary: It’s my fault for spoiling you all these years...

Ron: Fine...if she needs help, I’ll offer

Mary: Great...we’ll tell your sister when she gets back. It’s almost that time of year again...when she hires a new batch...so you could join them

Ron: Really mom? You want me to become a matchmaker?

Mary: Nope...I just want you to get off my couch...get a job, or a hobby, find yourself a nice girl and settle down

At that moment the door opened

Krystal: I’m home

Mary: Krystal, good news, I finally convinced your brother to work you

Krystal: Oh...why?

Mary: So I could get him out of this house...he’s been doing nothing but eat and sleep ever since he decided to step down from being CEO

Krystal: Really Ron, you’re going to do this?

Ron: I guess so...set me up for an interview

Krystal: Fine...

Ron smiled: Great...when’s the interview?

Krystal: They’re starting tomorrow. Just pop in, and someone will interview you

~ Next day~

He took the elevator along with a dozen others up to the 8^th floor...surprisingly; they were all there for the interview. Who would’ve thought that a match making company would command such interest from people?

He sat in the waiting room along with all the other candidates and watched as one by one they entered the conference room...finally there were only two people left, himself and another girl. She looked awfully confident and the way she was looking at him did not in any way give him a good vibe about her.

Ron: New graduate?... No? Lost your job in the recession?

After a while she finally turned to look at him

Girl: Are you talking to me?

Ron: Do you see anyone else around?

Girl: Well...you could easily be talking to yourself

Ron: Fair enough...I’m Ron Ng, and you?

Girl: Leila Tong...

Ron: Nice to meet you

Leila: I hope I can say the same about you

At that moment someone from the conference room stepped out and called her in leaving him there sitting by himself.

Moments later she came out with a huge smile on her face and left the office, leaving Ron to be the final interviewee of the day. He walked into the conference room, took a seat and started spinning around in the chair.

Ron: Hi Florence

Florence: Your sister told me you’d be here...but I just couldn’t believe that you would be here

Ron: Well...I’m here now...so...

Florence: I really don’t think there’s a reason for interviewing you

The other interviewer sitting there was quite puzzled by the conversation Florence and Ron was having. She cleared her throat.

Florence: Right, I forgot to introduce the two of you...Nancy, this is Ron Ng...Krystal’s younger brother

Ron: Hi

Nancy: Hi...

Ron smiled: So...did I get the job?

Florence laughed: You’re the co-owner...what do you think?

Ron: Great! Then I’d like to hire myself

Nancy laughed and asked Florence: Is he usually like this?

Ron smiled: Nope...I’m always like this...hopefully I won’t be getting on anyone’s nerves while I’m here. Another thing, if you two could keep the whole co-owner thing under wraps that would be great.

Florence: Sure...on one condition

Ron: Ok...what is it?

Florence: You have to follow the company rules like any other employee that we hire...

Ron: Of course

Florence: Then first...bring this home, fill it out and bring it back next Monday, when you start training

Ron: Training? Why do I need training?

Florence: Oh trust me...you need training

Ron: Fine....

He got up from the chair and was about to leave, when he turned back

Ron: Hey Florence, did that girl who was here before me get hired?

Florence: Yup, why? Interested?

Ron laughed: Not a chance...I’m more interested in Nancy (he winked and left the conference room) 

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

So...hopefully you have a vague idea of Ron and Leila's characters...and I'm excited for the first chapter...it'll be quite entertaining.

Please comment...3 or more, and I'll post up the first chapter

Randomness...OUT!!!

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
