BLSC #7 : a Night To Remember

Chapter 7 - Trying Out

Taylor Portwalt

"You're an asshole" I crossed my arms in front of my chest

"Thanks, I get that a lot" He said as he sipped his lemonade

"Do you think this is funny? How could you say that to my parents?"

"I'm taking my responsibility" He said and I looked at him disbelief

"Are you kidding me? So you're going to marry me?" I asked and he nodded

"Are you insane? We will kill each other in no time"

"So I'll pick you up at your office for my granddad's birthday" He stated

"I don't want to go" I glared and said coldly to him

"Taylor baby, don't be like that"

"Don't baby me!"

"Let's just try this relationship" He stated and that made me speechless

"What? Try? We both know the end of this relationship Christian, you don't want to settle down. Why bother trying?" I bursted angrily and took a deep breath for this

"That's why let's try this relationship Taylor, you'll never know where it will lead us"

"We will never work Christian, you and I can't be in one room without argueing" I said and we both got silent after that. Our food came but none of us touch it or look at it. We both busy with our own thoughts

"Sorry for taking 2 years for this" He suddenly said and I looked at him completely don't understand

"When I found out that you left me the next morning, I was mad. You promised me that you will stay but you left. I was going to ask you for a real date and things like that but I buried that deeply. I started to work to forget about you but that night memories was always lingers in my mind"

"I looked out for you and always checked up on you. Apparently after seeing you again, I can't just stand still like an idiot waiting for you to slap, kick, curse about that night so I decided to just went to you but you pretended that never happen" His words always got me. I don't know if he's good at talking or he's being truthfull

"I hate you"

"I know" He sighed and I decided to dig into my food. He followed me and none of us talk after that

"So what now?" I asked

"I don't know, let's just go with the flow. I guess" He said and I don't know how to react to that statement

"What if I don't like you?" I asked and he raised his eyebrows

"Why asking that question when you already like me?"

"Confident much?"

"You're a designer, right?" He asked and I nodded

"Made me suit"

"Huh?"

"Why? You don't want to?"

"Of course, I don't want to. You can buy it in Armani Store or-"

"I want to by my girlfriend's client" I choked and coughed. Christian laughed

"Gir- gir- girlfriend?" I asked him disbelief and he nodded like it was nothing

"I told your dad remember?"

"You asshole, I don't want to be your girlfriend"

"We're in a relationship beautiful, how come you're not my girlfriend?"

"No way, I don't want you to be all of my first" I hissed

"Oh I'll be all of your first" He smiled widely and I took my drink and sipped it immediately

"Want to order some wine?" He asked

"No! I will never drink with you again" I said in horror causing him to laugh

"I'm not going to have another night with you, never!"

"Never? Really? Let's see about that" He smirked and I looked at him in horror

"I don't have any appetite anymore" I put down my fork and stood up from my seat. He stood up to and walked to me. I raised my eyebrows

"Let's go" He held my hand and intertwined it. I felt my heart betraying me

"I don't want to be with you in one room anymore!" I hissed and pulled my hand from his grip. He took my hand again and pulled me out from the restaurant. My parents saw me and smiling widely

"Come on" He said as he put his arm around me

"Christian!" I pushed him but he caught me back

"I like it when you say my full name" He said and kissed the side of my head

"Get off me" I hissed but he held me tightly. He pressed the lift button and we got inside the lift. He slid his Gold Card and pressed R

"Where are we going?" I asked

"Rooftop" He answered as he turned to me. He walked closer to me and I cursed myself again when my back kissed the wall

"So girlfriend, when will you make my suit?"

"Just give me this and I'll make it for you" I pointed at his suit and he shook his head

"Nah, I prefer that I'll go to your office and let you measure my body" He smiled and I looked at him annoy

"I don't want too, just giv-" He cut me by kissing me. My eyes widen with his sudden action and he stopped when the door lift's open. He held my hand again and dragged me out

I was going to be mad at him but the beautiful view of LA made me speechless. It's so beautiful and I can't stop admiring it

"Beautiful isn't it?" He asked and I nodded. The wind blew strongly and I can feel my face became cold. Suddenly Chris put his blazer around me, my eyes widen and he stood in front of me wrapping it more so I don't get cold.

He rubbed his hands and then put it on my cheeks. I felt so warm and I felt my heartbeat was betraying me. I looked down because I'm damn nervous.

No one's ever did this to me, Christian was the first.

"Warmer now?" He asked and I nodded. He stood beside me again and put his arm around my shoulder

"Do you like it here?" He asked

"Yeah, I love it" I answered honestly

"Here" He put a Hastington Card in front of me and I turned to him

"This card has this rooftop access, you can use it when I'm not here and when you want to come here to get a fresh air" He smiled and I took the card looking at it

"You can come here anytime" He added

"Thanks" I found myself smiling looking at the card
