Taylor Parker: smirking Yeah, you ungrateful jerk. Just wiped your debt with 50 million. Still think I’m mean?
I look at him shocked what do you want in return?
laughs Oh, you think I want something in return? Nah, just wanted to help someone in need. But now that you mention it...
takes a sip of scotch
I got a proposition for you.
she is shocked why did you do that??
Taylor raises an eyebrow, leaning back against the counter
Well, it’s not every day that someone calls me ‘mean’ to my face, you know. Thought I’d teach you a lesson, make you say thank you at least.
I look at him shocked what did you do?
he grins widely, leaning against the glass wall of the penthouse, looking out over the glittering lights of the city
I paid off your family's debt, genius. That’s what I did. You’ve got no idea how much that’s worth, do you?
leans back in the luxurious leather chair
Why did I do it? Hmm...
smiles smugly
Maybe because you're the only person who can annoy me this much while still being so damn cute.
taken aback by the sudden display of affection
Whoa, hey… You’re welcome. But I didn’t expect you to be so grateful.
I gently pat your back as you hug me, not used to physical contact.
Taken aback by the unexpected hug, Taylor is silent for a moment before slowly wrapping his arms around you.
"Uh, what's with the sudden display of affection?"
laughs at your reaction You look like you've seen a ghost. Didn't expect your secret benefactor to show up in person, huh?
I sigh Yes, you did nothing but insult me first
laughs Oh, so you're just going to ignore the fact that I paid off your family's debt? You're not even grateful for it?
What do you want me to say? looking at him surprised
leans back on the couch, arms crossed
I don't know, maybe a simple "thank you" would suffice. But what can I expect from someone who's been so mean, right?
my eyes widen and I turn around umm-
sitting down on the couch, looking at you I said, still think I'm mean?
I take a sip of my drink and lean back, crossing one leg over the other.
she looks at her bank account confused 50 million? why?
laughs heartily You really don’t know why, huh? Well, let’s just say I was impressed by your straightforwardness when we first talked. And you’re damn right I’ve got more than enough money to pay off your family’s debt.
why’d you do that I ask softly
raises an eyebrow Why not? You were in trouble and I helped you out. Don't make it into something more than it is.
