《boxes - taron egerton.》Chapter 5 - The meeting
Advertisement
I got up at around 8 to the sound of my phone ringing, it was Taron. He told me he will come down to my apartment around 10 to pick me up.
So I did my classic morning routine , I ate cereal , brushed my teeth and got dressed.
I decided to wear black denim shorts with fishnet tights underneath , a black led zeppelin t-shirt and a blue and purple flannel and my favourite blue denim jacket with fluff around the neck, with that I paired my black dog martens.
Taron never told me where we were going but he said it included food, so I was looking forward to this.
"Omg another date?" Lilith asked as I walked into the living room already dressed. I'm pretty sure she just got up because she normally gets up and drinks tea. I grabbed my house keys and my wallet and put my boots on.
"Not a date , just yet another meet up" I sighed and walked out of my apartment.
When I got outside I saw Taron leaned against a black Mercedes, this must've been his car.
"Well hello again Ruby" Taron said as he yet again embraced me , is this our thing now?
"Hey Taron" I said and hugged him back.
"You can call me T if you want" He said.
"If you insist , call me Ru then" I smiled and he did too.
"Okay Ru" He said and we just stood in silence again.
"Uh your car?" I asked pointing to the car behind him.
"Yep that's mine" He laughed and opened the door for me.
"M'lady.." He said and grabbed my hand helping me get in.
"Thank you kind sir" I laughed, his gestures are so posh and he's such a gentleman, he sprinted to his side and entered the car.
"So where are we going?" I asked him , I was quite astonished to see how clean his car was , but am I even surprised to this point?
"That's a surprise" He said , started the engine and drove off. We drove in silence until I turned on the radio so we could have some music in the backround as we drive through the city. By the look of it we were driving out of the city.
"Out of the city? Are you kidnapping me?" I asked him. He just laughed.
"Nope I am not , patience. We'll be there soon." For some reason is voice was very soothing , I can just imagine falling asleep every night listening to him talk. Well that will never happen.
After a couple more minutes of driving we arrived at a diner. I've never been to one of these but I've seen them in movies and I always wanted to go to one.

"A diner?" I asked surprised.
"Yes" He said.
"I've never been to one" I said , he was staring at me again.
"Neither have I" He said and got out of the car. Yet again he ran over to my side and opened the door for me. I mumbled a thank you and we went inside.
We sat down at a booth and looked through the menu. The food here sounded very delicious, I decided to order some waffles with whipped cream and maple syrup on top , I also got a chocolate chip milkshake. Sweet food is my favourite but I can't eat a lot of it because I will get sick.
Taron ordered the same but instead of a chocolate hip milkshake he got a while chocolate and vanilla milkshake. All the foods sounded very delicious and they probably were.
Talking about food, Taron was looking like a snack I must say. He was wearing tight blue jeans with a white t-shirt and a brown jacket on top. His hair was quiffed up and gelled like usual.
His lips were looking very red and plump today , deadass if I could I would give him a smooch right now, but I can't. If only life was that easy.
"So why have I been gathered here today?" I joked to Taron.
"Well I have gathered you here today because I have a question for you and I've heard that they have good food here" He said, wait a second. He has a question for me? Oh god this can't be good. Last time people have asked me questions they haven't been the best.
"Well what's the question?" I was shitting myself by now , I really don't like these situations.
"Well as you may know , I am an actor and actors have to attend gallas and red carpets and all that posh stuff. This Friday which is in two days there's a Gala in Cardiff that I have to attend and I'm taking my family with me and I don't have a plus one because Em is in Africa and she can't make it soo...Ruby would you be my plus one?" He asked me. Did he really just ask me that...that's a lot to take in.
"Taron I would love to but what would your girlfriend say?" I said.
"I told her and she said she's fine with it" He said.
"Well as long as she's okay with it, I can go, I don't want to cause you guys any problems" I said , I can't believe I was saying this honestly.

"Yes! Thank you so much!" He said, grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
I looked at him and just smiled.
"You know you never told me your surname and your age" Taron said , have I not? Wow I really haven't.
"Well my full name is Ruby Rose Elizabeth Evans and I'm 20 years old" I said, I had a really long name to be honest.
"Well you have a lovely name" He said and smiled.
"What about you?" I asked him. He looked confused.
"What do you mean?"
"You never told me your full name or age" I told him.
"Oh well my full name is Taron David Egerton , fun fact my name comes from the word taran which means thunder in Welsh and I'm 30 years old" He said. Wait he's 30? He doesn't look it.
"You're really thirty? You don't look it , I thought you were in your 20s" I said.
"I'm not but I get told that I look younger" He laughed and I just smiled.
Our food arrived soon enough , we spoke while we ate and then after we finished we got in the car and drove back to Cardiff. The journey back felt shorter than when we went there.
"You wanna come over to my place?" He asked , we were a couple blocks away from my apartment.
"Sure" I smiled and I could see his face light up, did he really like me that much? I'm surprised I wasn't getting on his nerves by now.
A couple of minutes passed by and we stopped in front of a giant house. I wasn't really surprised since Taron is an actor and actors get paid a lot so of course he could afford a place like this.
I got out of the car and just observed the house.
"Wow this a big house" I said and Taron just laughed. He grabbed my hand led me inside. He took the keys out of his jean pocket and unlocked the door. I was surprised he didn't have any security guards or anything.
"IM HOME!" He screamed and I heard a womans voice shout back a hello.
Taron took off his shoes so I did too. He helped me take my coat off , I kept my flannel on cuz it was quite cozy. He showed where the bathroom and the kitchen was and then led to the living room. We entered the living room and I saw two little girls sitting on the couch and a older woman sitting beside them , they were all watching the TV.
"Mum I would like to introduce you to Ruby , Ruby this is my mum" Taron said and his mother stood up and embraced me.
"Hi it's lovely to meet you" I said and smiled.
"You too , I've heard a lot about you" she said and sat back down. Taron went quite red when his mother said the last bit.
"Ruby these are my two sisters Rosie and Mari" Taron introduced me and the two girls said hello , they seemed quite shy so I just simply said a hello back.
"We'll be in my room if any of you want or need anything" Taron said and his mother and sisters just nodded. He then grabbed my hand and led me to his room. I don't know he grabbed my hand every time he showed me or led me somewhere but I wasn't complaining.
When I entered his room I saw he had all kinds of awards around his room and it was huge too. He had a giant double bed with a wardrobe to the left with a computer opposite his bed with a huge TV above, he had a bathroom in here too.
"Everything is so big here , my apartment is tiny compared to this" I said and sat down on the bed.
"I mean this a huge house but your apartment is pretty cool too" He said and sat down beside me. He was sitting so close to me I could feel his breath on my neck and his body heat too.
"You know I've been thinking about the thing you told me back at the diner , what would I have to wear?" I stood and observed the awards on his shelves. He must be a good actor since he has quite a lot, I mean damn he has a golden globes one.
"Well it would have to be a dress and we would have to match. I have bought a black suit so I guess you'd have to wear a black dress" He said.
"Okay cool , I'll go shopping with Lilith tomorrow so I'll be ready in time" I said and sat back down.
"Or we could go? I think it'd be better because I've been told I'm good at picking out dresses" He teased.
"Okay then , I don't mind" I smiled and poked his shoulder.
"Ay what was that for?" He asked.
"I don't know to be honest."

Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder
I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder ********* MATURE FILTER IS FOR:- violence- graphic imagery (blood, burns, fairly dark headspaces)- cartoon depiction of burn scars for visual aid Despite graphics, Mick Chadwick's writing keeps Mr. MacClain's terrible tale light somehow. This is foremostly a comedy.

Mana Tank Magus
Jonathan Orville has had a thoroughly enviable life, completely devoid of pain or suffering. Though his life is tragically cut short due to a sharp rock, he would never regret his perfectly positive life where nothing bad ever happened to him, ever.Even though he doesn't regret it at all, he still finds himself summoned to the netherworld for a new adventure as livestock for a needlessly attractive demoness who is totally probably in love with him.This is a story about using the power of positive thinking to overcome adversity. Demonic forest fires, consumption of souls, rivers of blood and rampant carnage; none of these can get in the way of a dedicated effort to think positively.Newest chapters at: https://manatankmagus.wordpress.com/This location is likely to stay a bit behind. I am very lazy. :DDISCLAIMER: My primary purpose here is Comedy rather than badass skills and righteous adventures (although there's some of that too). The main character can be a little bumbling at times and has a much higher opinion of himself than justified. If you really dislike that kind of thing, this is probably not for you.
