《boxes - taron egerton.》Chapter 10 - Dinner
Advertisement
I decided to wear a black with purple flowers lacy kind of dress, it wasn't very revealing but it did show quite a bit of skin I must admit. It wasn't tight either it was a bit flowy you could say.
I let me hair go down the middle as usual and I decided to put on some nude lipstick and winged eyeliner. I paired some plain black high too converse with my dress, grabbed my bag and looked at the clock. It was exactly 7 , Taron should be here any minute and that was when I heard the buzzer go off.
Taron was here. I took a quick peek out of the window and saw him looking up at my bedroom window while he was leaning on his car.
He very handsome , he was wearing a white t-shirt with this brown shirt thing on top, black jeans and his classic black boots. I swear I've never seen this man wear trainers or anything besides boots.
I put on my shoes and left the apartment.
"Hello there gorgeous" He said and gave me a hug.
"Well thank you.You don't look too bad yourself handsome" I laughed, we always gave each other nicknames. He just nodded and opened the for me so I could get into car. He jogged to the other side and sat down, this reminded me of when we first we went to diner and he asked me to go to that Gala I never attended.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see" He said and smirked, I was quite curious.
We drove for a couple minutes before we arrived at an Italian restaurant. My eyes widened when I saw it, it was quite a posh restaurant. Taron just looked at me and we both got out of the car.

"Really Italian?" I asked.
"Yes" He said and we both entered the restaurant, T being the gentleman he is , opened the door for me.
"I have a reservation for Egerton here tonight" He told the man at the table.
"Oh yes , please follow me" The man said, stood up and started walking towards the booths.
This place looked very expensive, I really hope Taron didn't spend a lot of money on me because I hated when he would do so.
When we got to our booth the man told us that out waiter would be coming soon.
I sat down on the red almost velvet like chair and just stared at Taron, he looked really handsome tonight.
"Do I have something on my face?" He laughed.
"No uh sorry" I choked out.
"Enjoying the view huh?" He teased.
"T stop it" I nervously laughed, little did he know I really was enjoying the view. We sat in silence for a little while before our waiter arrived. I decided to order some pasta with chicken and Taron got something else that sounded very posh, we also got champagne.
"So...Ruby..I have a very important question for you" He said , damn he really likes asking questions whenever he takes me out somewhere.
"Yes?" I asked.
"So my mum and my sisters are leaving tomorrow" He said and I just nodded.
"And I'm going to be in my giant house all alone" He said and I knew what he was trying to say, but I just kept pretending I had no idea.
"Oh really? I'm sure you can invite some friends over or yknow get a lady...maybe get laid or something" I joked , I could see him choke on his drink.
"I'm sorry what?" He asked.
"You know get a lady...its been a good while since you had some action as I'm aware" I laughed , he seemed very confused.

"No that's not what I meant" He said.
"Well then what's your question" I asked again.
"Well em..would you...would you maybe want to stay with me for a little while?" He finally spit out.
"Taron ...I mean this is a big deal, I don't know , what am I gonna tell Lilith?" I said, I really didn't know because this meant I would have to spend a lot of time with Taron. It would also be weird because we're just friends and normally people do that when they're in relationships.
"Please , I just hate being living alone and you could leave anytime you want" He said , I could tell he really wanted me to.
"Well....I guess I could give it a try" I laughed. His face immediately lit up and he stood up and gave me a side hug.
"Yeah T don't get too excited I could disappear any minute" I teased.
"You better not" He said.
Soon enough our food arrived and we dug in. The pasta was delicious and so was the chicken and the champagne was extraordinary. I've never tasted anything like it before. This is definitely my new favourite restaurant.
After a couple minutes we finished our food , paid and left the restaurant.
"Wanna go for a walk?" Taron asked.
"Won't we get papped?" I asked , I didn't really feel like being in the press yet.
"You're right , we shouldn't risk anything" He sighed and we got into the car and drove off. We sat in silence before Taron spoke up.
"Also I had another question"
"Hm?" I hummed.
"Tomorrow night I've got a dinner thing , its a Kingsman reunion and everyone from the cast is going to be there and I want you to come with me" He said. I was shocked, he really wanted to take me?
"Are you being serious?" I asked, I was truly in complete shock.
"Yes of course" He smiled.
"Oh my goodness" I said.
"So you wanna go?" He said and I could see a smirk sneak onto his face.
"Yeah of course!" I cheered , I loved the Kingsman films and even more the cast.
"Okay well , it's going to be lots of fun" He smiled and I just nodded. I bet it is.
We arrived at my place and Taron was currently standing outside my door.
"You sure you don't wanna stay?" I asked, he looked quite tired and I was worried he might fall asleep while driving.
"I'll be fine, its only a couple minutes plus I wanna spend some time with my family before they leave" He said.
"Yes of course, well thank you for tonight, I enjoyed it" I smiled.
"Me too" He said and I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He just smiled and left.
As soon as I shut the door I started to freak out , not only did he ask me to basically move in with him but he also invited me to go to Kingsman cast dinner. I'm going to admit , Taron is the best thing that could've happened to me.
I still didn't know how I was gonna break the moving news to Lilith.

On the other side of these portals, sits a vast new world with resources galore. The faction's couldn't visit this new world themselves, so they requested that humans enter these portals to explore and conquer this new world in their sted as their champions, and in return, they offered these humans knowledge and resources for their cultivation.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
