More Than Friends?(Taron Egerton)

Starbucks Kiss

"The meeting was great Lauren. I think this is a brilliant idea. We'll definitely take part in this with you" Joe came up to me and I shook his hand.

"Thank you so much. I really appreciate it and I'm glad to have you guys on board" I thank him and we part ways.

The meeting went more than well if I can put it like that.

I'm so relieved that I made it in time, I don't know what I would've done if I actually were late.

I see the rest of the people out of the building and instantly took off my shoes.

My feet were killing me and besides, my co-workers all know me quite well by now so it doesn't even phase them anymore and if it does.. So be it.

I walked to my office and closed the door. I took a seat on my white leather chair and turned around. I stare out of my "Window Wall" as I call it.

I replaced my wall with windows so I can have a great view of the sunrise when I get to the office every morning.

So I decided to call it a window wall cause it's a mixture of both, it's a window but also a wall... You catch my drift right?

As I peacefully enjoy a cup of coffee while enjoying the city view, my phone rang.

I didn't bother looking at the caller ID because I'm too busy taking a sip of my very nice cup of coffee.

"This is Lauren" I answer after I swallowed. "Hi Lauren, this is Taron, how are you?" I hear his lovely voice flow through my ears like the waves of the ocean.

"Oh hi Taron, I just finished with a meeting, I'm doing great and how are you?" I reply turning in my chair, shooing my assistant who just opened the door.

I flash her a quick smile and she closes the door again.

"Oh that's nice, I hope it went well but by the sound of things it did. I'm doing okay I guess, it could be better though" He replied sounding a bit off all of a sudden.

"By the sound of what? And why? What's going on?" I ask with a bit of concern in my voice and a frown on my forehead.

"Lauren, I've known you for quite some time now, I know the sound of your voice when you're satisfied" I can hear the smile in his voice as he said those words.

"Oh, anyway, we can meet up and grab a coffee and just talk about everything, catch up if you'd like?" I ask with a bit of unsureness in my voice.

"That would be great! That's actually why I called you. I need to get out of here as soon as possible before I do something stupid" Taron replies and I laugh at the irritation in his voice.

"Okay, I'll see you at Starbucks in twenty?" I ask while I clench the phone between my ear and shoulder as I try putting all my things in my handbag.

"That's fine by me. See you in twenty" He replies and I end the call. I check the last of my e-mails for the day and head out of the office.

"Macy, sorry I was on the phone with a client, what did you want to know?" I smile at my assistant.

I really admire Macy, she has all her shit together, always!

I thought I had all my shit together and yet I was almost late for my meeting, I can't spend a whole damn day in heels, I have a coffee date with a famous person and I'm still barefoot.

"These came for you" Macy picked up the vase of flowers and gave it to me. "Thank you, do you know who they're from?" I ask curiously.

"No, the delivery man just came and told me to give it to you" She replies.

"Well thanks Macy, I'm heading out, I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" I smile at her. "Sure thing. Enjoy them flowers babe" She laughs.

I love it when we have these little nicknames for each other, I love her to bits, she's also a really good friend of mine not just an assistant.

"I will babe!" I reply with a wave as I head towards the elevator.

I walk into Starbucks and see Taron with a hoodie, waiting for me. I walk to the counter, order myself a latte and took a seat across from Taron.

"Hi" I say softly and smile at him. "Oh, hi, sorry, I didn't even see you come in" He told me a bit shook as I unexpectedly sat there.

"Nah. It's all good. So how are you? I remember you telling me on the phone about how your life could be better. So what's up?" I pop the p as I locked my phone and put it away.

I look up at him and he seemed hesitant to tell me. "Well, it's just that you think you know someone and then it turns out you don't and that they're probably using you for your money and it just sucks you know" He sighs, taking a sip of his cuppachino.

"Damn, that really does suck doesn't it? Who is this person anyway?" I ask and thank the waiter for my Latte.

"No one. Enough about me, come on, tell me more about you. You look so professional and everything" He smiles at me and shivers ran down my spine for some reason.

"Well, I'm the CEO of London Brandings (Just made up the name), I'm single, I have been since me and Drew broke up.

I live in a pretty great apartment as I don't want to buy a house because it'll be too big and besides I don't have a family or anything so it'll just be a waste of space and money" I lift my eyebrows before taking another sip.

"Wow, the CEO of London Brandings you guys really know what you're doing seeing you're the best branding company in London" Taron replies with a smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah I mean we do have the best of workers so we do get by" I say staring into his eyes, the ones I could drown in.

I have no clue what the hell is going on but he's moving closer to my face and I to his.. Lauren! Lauren get your shit together girl!

I can't help but move closer and closer until our lips touch. Such sweet, soft and luscious lips. I felt my stomach go crazy as our lips move perfectly together.

Heya!

Boring chappie I know, but all good things take time right?!

Lots O' Love
