Deception

Not Ready

Enjoy!

Tear threaten to fall from Tai as his heart broke at the rejection.

"Gloria..."

He said trailing off as Gloria cut him off.

"I'm sorry, but right now this is not the time and place. You need to leave"

"Then when is the right time and place?! Because you left me without me even telling anything?!"

Tai yelled as he raised his voice. Everyone else in the lunchroom stop what they were doing and look to the bickering couple. Gloria glared at Tai and pulled his hand until they were out of the lunchroom and headed to her office.

"If you want to discuss this then stop the fucking yelling like a child"

She said trying to keep her temper in check after Tai embarrassed her. Tai crossed both his arms over his chest. Gloria let out a sigh as she ran her hand through her hair.

"Like I said I don't want to help you raise a child with you if it doesn't come out of me"

"We don't know if Sora is pregnant with a child of mine, for crying out loud we don't know if she's pregnant at all, maybe she is gaining a few pounds"

He said frustrated. Gloria leaned against her desk with her arms crossed over her chest.

"What if she is?"

She questioned.

"Gloria this is getting us no where, we are just going in circles here. We just have more questions then answers"

He said trying to reason with her. Gloria looked at her watch from her wrist.

"My lunch break is over, you have to leave"

She said as she went around her desk.

"This discussion is over"

"Gloria come on, don't push me away"

Gloria looked to Tai sternly.

"Get out before I call in security"

Tai balled his fist in anger and finally remembered he is still holding the flowers. He went around Gloria's desk and got down on his knees in front of her and held out the bouquet of roses to her.

"I got these for you"

Gloria turned her head away to try to ignore the tears stinging her eyes.

"I love you, okay. I'm sorry I raised my voice at you, but I am just as frustrated as you are..."

He said with his voice low. Gloria remained quiet as Tai continued to talk.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you. I never wanted this to happen between us. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I just don't want to lose you"

Gloria finally turn to look at him as tears trailed down her face as well as Tai.

"I mean it when I said I love you. I want to make things right but I need your help"

He said as he grabbed hold of her hand and gave it a light kiss on the knuckles.

"We made promises to each other Gloria, now let's put those promises into action"

"I can't, I'm not ready"

She said lowly.

"Why?"

"I can forgive your past mistake but I will never forget once the child comes to existence, it will just be a reminder like a scar of the moment of weakness"

"We all have scars Gloria, we can heal"

A moment of silence fell between them, until Gloria spoke up.

"Tai, I really need time and space to think about this"

"I could give you some space and time but just don't leave me"

"Tai please, this whole situation is hurting me"

"I know it is and I wish I can get rid of the situation"

He said as he leaned up towards Gloria tilting his head and Gloria leaned down slightly tilting her head to the opposite direction. Their lips were slightly apart but quickly pulled away as the sound of a knock on the door and it open to reveal a man in a fine suit.

"Gloria"

The man said. Gloria immediately stood up along with Tai.

"Mr. Waterson"

"I was trying to call you and your phone didn't answer"

"Sorry it got deactivated last night"

"Ah, I see and who is this?"

He asked making his way inside the office.

"Um this is Tai Kamiya"

She said introducing Tai to her boss.

"Tai this is Mr. Waterson, my boss"

"Mr. Kamiya, I heard a lot about you"

He said shaking hands with Tai who shook his hand as well.

"I heard a lot about you too"

"Ah Ms. Barbie, can you do me a favor and get the reports from Mr. Blake and put it on my desk"

"Yes sir"

She said as she went around her desk and left out of her office. Tai let out a sad sigh and Mr. Waterson smile as he patted Tai on the back.

"No worries, she does excellent work and I have been meaning to apologize to you"

Tai raised an eyebrow.

"For what?"

"Ms. Barbie mention to me before that she no longer wanted to be apart from you and I understood why, but sometimes the distance makes the heart grow fonder"

"You think so?"

"Oh I know so and congratulations on the marriage proposal"

He said leaving the office. Tai nodded.

"Yeah thanks"

He said as he place the engagement ring on Gloria's desk amd left the office.

*Few Hours Later*

Gloria let out a sigh as she made it to her hotel room and jumped into bed letting out a sigh as she stare up to the ceiling, raising her hand as it shimmer from the engagement ring. As she shut her eyes a sound of a beep came through her phone. Gloria raised an eyebrow in surprise as she received a text stating that her phone bill has been paid.

'Tai'

She thought sadly as the thoughts came back again. She placed the phone down but before she did another beep came through her phone. In the screen it showed.

"I love you" -Tai

Gloria blushed as she held to the phone to her heart as she closed her eyes.

'Oh, Tai thank you. I love you too'

She thought. She then opened her eyes and removed her phone from her chest.

"I love you too" -Gloria

Tai smiled as he received the text message.
