Summary
“But the rest of it— I’m not p-paying you for that.” Taggie hates how flustered he makes her. She hates it most of all because she’s never had a poker face. She suspects she never will.
“I enjoy the other parts too, Tag.”
“Why?” She presses, a little too quick to question him.
“Because—” he draws out the word “—everyone needs someone. At some point, everyone needs someone, and not everyone has someone to turn to.”
“That would sound nicer if I didn’t know how much you charged.”
Taggie O'Hara can't bear to face her brothers wedding alone. Rupert Campbell-Black is there to help. // The Wedding Date AU

Summary
When Harry Met Sally but make it Rivals...that's kind of all you need to know!
----
She gave him a once-over. He was far too polished for her liking—like someone who color-coordinated his socks with his ties. The tailored cut of his suit, the carefully disheveled head of dark hair... it all screamed effort. She could practically smell the cologne wafting off him, some expensive blend that probably had a pretentious name like Triumph or Arrogance. If she had known this was who her father had asked to bring her to the wedding, she would’ve hitchhiked instead.
“Daddy sent you?” she asked, her disbelief seeping into her voice.
He slipped the catalog into his pocket and straightened his shoulders, exuding a calm, practiced authority. He had the audacity to look bored, if not somewhat incredulous. “Daddy?” he teased, but quickly noticed her look remained quite serious. “Right…apparently. Your Daddy is rather headstrong and I owed him a favor for not blasting me across Venturer for one of my recent escapades, so…”
“Great,” she muttered. “My knight in shining armor.”

Summary
“One condition,” she said finally, clasping her hands firmly behind her back to hide the way they trembled. Now was certainly not the time to display her weaknesses, as many as there were. No need to send him running for the hills before their week even began. “I decide what ‘companionship’ entails. If that’s not agreeable to you, then we have nothing further to discuss.”
It was all she could think of in the moment to set some sort of boundary, protect herself from the barrage of hurt sure to be brought forth by the rake in front of her. A small part of her hoped he would give up then and there, deeming her not worth the trouble. A much larger, hopeless part hoped he’d stay.
Rupert’s eyes gleamed with something between respect and amusement. “Agreed. Though I reserve the right to be persuasive.”
As the valet opened her door, Taggie took a deep breath and stepped out into the warm London evening, acutely aware that she was about to enter Rupert Campbell-Black’s world—a place she had never expected to find herself, and one she knew instinctively would be difficult to leave unchanged.
One week, she told herself. What could possibly go wrong?
