A once in a lifetime opportunity sends a girl into a world so vibrant and bright. Elton John's world. Her uncles crazy world, filled with ups and downs. An assistant on the up and coming movie, Rocketman, is unlike anything she's done. Wonderful mus...
"When Katie was little, she would raid my closet and steal anything she could get her hands on, just to wear it around the house. She'd have these massive glasses on her face and look like a little bug." I rolled my eyes with a playful smile showing on my face from the stories Uncle Elton was telling Taron over our dinner. We wanted to start getting to know each other better since we'll be working so closely together after all. And Uncle David thought we could all just have dinner together tonight to talk about the film and what's to come. But never in a million years did I think Uncle Elton would tell all of my embarrassing childhood stories. Thanks Uncle Elton. You're the governor.
"Katie the super bug, to the rescue!" Zachary and Elijah's little laughter had me shaking my head with a little smile towards them, hearing Taron's laugher from next to me. I love those two so incredibly much. And as dinner went on, I couldn't keep the smile away. The feeling I had in my heart was massive. Unlike anything I've ever felt. Everyone absolutely loved Taron. And I could easily see why. He's the sweetest guy I've ever encountered. He's so funny, so incredibly talented and easy going. Fun to be around and easy to talk to. He's making my job as his assistant so easy. It doesn't feel like work at all with him.

"Your smile is beautiful love." My eyes met Taron's in the middle with a blush rising on my cheeks most likely, just feeling the most intense sensations course through me from that one look. His little, cute smile and handsome face did wonders to me and to be honest? It scared me to no end. I absolutely adore Taron. My whole family does. And no man in history has made me feel the way Taron does. I've only known him for such a short time. But in that time, he's made me feel something. Something I've been missing. Dare i say.... love? No. There's no way. That fast? It's almost like I've been awoken from a long sleep. Like I was lost. And maybe I was. Until he came along.
"Oh you got to stop that Taron. You're going to inflame my ego and I'll become the worlds biggest diva. Next to you of course." I sent him a little wink from my words, hearing his laughter in my ears like the sweetest music imaginable. And I couldn't look away for the life of me once our eyes met, yet again, like we were speaking this secret langue through our looks alone.
"Our beautiful Katie here has practically become a whole new person since meeting you Taron." Uncle David sent me a warm smile, knowing exactly what he meant. I've been so reserved most of my life. Afraid to open up from fear that I'll be rejected and thrown away. The only people that never pushed me away, was Uncle David and Uncle Elton. They have loved me unconditionally since the day I was born practically. My mom..... I so badly want her in my life. I always have. But she's troubled. I don't want to blame her. But at the same time, I do. She left me. Abandoned me, never to be heard from again. Sometimes I dream of what it would be like if she was still here in my life, seeing my accomplishments and how far I've come. And just how far I'm going to go. I got help as a kid for my problems. And I'm still here today because of these two amazing men, looking at me with their warm smiles and comforting notions, telling me that I was loved. I had a family who cared more than I could ever imagine. And my family is only growing bigger by the second.
"Well I blame Mr. Egerton's charm for that one yeah?" I nudged Taron slightly with a smile rising on his lips, loving how much we actually connect. There's this spark.... I don't know how to explain it. But it's new. It's all new. And I really do love it. Working with him is like a dream. We've run lines together, sang together, learned new things together. I'm watching him grow as my uncle each and every day, mesmerized by how much he's like him. And all at the same time, I'm falling for him. So fast. It's an odd feeling. But watching him interacting with the people that mean the most to me, seeing just how.... right it is, how right it feels that he's here, really throws it into prospective.
"She's incredible. More than she realizes I think." My eyes widened from Taron's sudden words, seeing the little eye wiggle Uncle Elton was doing from the corner of my eye with Uncle David grinning like mad in humor, and I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me. I was having the time of my life.
"Oh it's going to happen darling. You two are going to be...." Before Uncle Elton could even finish what I was afraid he was going to say, Uncle David covered his mouth as Zachary and Elijah laughed like crazy.
"You two are going to have the best time working together is what he was going to say I imagine. It's only going to get better from here. So cheers, to Rocketman. And may it be the most magical experience of our lives." We all cheered to that with grins and sips taken of the amazing wine we were having. And that's when Taron softly kissed my cheek, taking me by complete surprise.
"There's no doubting that huh love?" Taron and I both smiled at one another, feeling so on high from this incredible night that I never wanted to end. I was the happiest I've ever been. And this journey was going to be the best of my life. I could already feel it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you guys so much for reading! I had the most amazing time writing this. You all are the best. Much love. 😘
