Taron – 5 years ago
Last night had been the best of my life. But this morning wasn't bad either. We showered together and I just couldn't drag my fingers and eyes away from her.
"I have to leave" she smiled as she put on her dress from last night.
"Do you really?" I grimaced, teasing her.
There were so many things I wanted to do to her. So many things I wanted to talk to her about.
She laughed and scribbled her number on a piece of paper "Call me"
"I will" Actually, I couldn't wait to call her.
I pulled her to me by her scarf and she sighed. I pressed my lips to hers, softly, tenderly.
"Bye" she smiled shyly.
"Bye" I dreaded to let her go, but I had to.
The second she left my flat I felt like a piece of my heart was missing. How was that even possible? I put her number in my phone and sent her a text.
<<Want to go out with me tonight? xx>>
I knew I was too forward, but I didn't care. I wanted to see her again.
Days and weeks flew by and I tried to reach her, but couldn't. She didn't respond to my texts or calls and I was starting to doubt myself. Had I done something wrong?
My mom's birthday was right around the corner and I had thought I could bring her. But it much rather seemed like I would never hear from her again.
I dialled my brother.
"Hi Taron" he answered.
"Evan" I smiled "How are you?"
"Good. Couldn't be better. What about you?"
I let out a breath.
"Has she still not responded to your texts and calls?" he asked.
I had told him about our day and night together. He had said she was my "mystery girl" and I had just shaken my head. But it was true, I had never been that in love before.
"No, she hasn't" I cleared my throat "Anyway, are you bringing mom's present?"
"I will yeah. And I'll bring my girlfriend too"
"Oh great" I smiled "Can't wait to meet her"
Apparently, they had been dating for only a few weeks and Evan was really secretive about her. I wondered why.
I arrived late because I had been on the phone with my agent regarding work. Actually, I got the role I wanted to have. I would play the lead in The Little Shop of Horrors. I was stoked.
"Sorry I'm late" I said, out of breath.
"Don't worry, darling" my mom pulled me into a hug.
I kissed her on the cheek "Happy Birthday, mom"
"Thanks" she smiled.
I stepped into the living room to see everyone sitting at the dinner table. I had a quick glance at my sisters that were sitting facing me. Evan and his girlfriend had their back to me.
I got out of my coat and hung it on the coat rack.
Then I walked towards the table and stopped dead in my tracks as I saw none other than Morgan at that table. Right next to Evan.
"Taron, this is Morgan. Morgan, this is my brother, Taron" Evan introduced us.
It took me a second to wrap my head around it. Morgan seemed as surprised as I was, but nobody else seemed to notice. Hell, I didn't notice anyone but her.
