RUBY'S POV:
"Who's up for a game of truth or dare?" Brylee announced, uncorking a can of Pepsi she'd brought from the refrigerator.
"I'm in", James answered."That game is deadly, no way", I said picking up my phone.
" You're no fun. Babe, you're in right", she said turning to Micah.
"Yeah Sure", he said, distractedly texting away on his phone.
"Ruby, baby, my love", James began.
"No need to say all this", I said without looking away from my phone.
" If you don't play then I won't", he whined.
"Well then don't", I said dismissively.
" OK, just play one round if its no fun then you can stop. I won't disturb you", he said giving me the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, I will but not because of those eyes", I said giving in because of the eyes.
" That's my baby", he said, giving me a bea
RUBY'S POV:Brylee has been a mess for three days now. Her mum had to travel urgently and even Saturday mornings that gave us a lot of joy was kind of just another say without her vibe.We'd been staring at the ceiling idly blasting Justin Bieber's relatively sad songs and occasionally going back to Adele's Someone like you. It was really bringing down the mood. I'd been listening to her give me relationship advice all day."You know we've been together for two years", she said absentmindedly."I do", I replied humming." At least not counting the multiple break ups""You guys have always been the model couple to me though""But why must there always be another girl? I mean its like we shared roles, he asks me out and I break up with him""Just like the other five break ups, I'm sure there isn't""But why?
RUBY'S POV:"Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee", I chanted as I banged on the door of the bathroom, hopping from one foot to another."Calm down", Bry said from the rest room."Get out already. Don't tell me you're taking a dump", I yelled impatiently."I'm out, I'm out. Don't get your panties in a twist", she said, gingerly strolling out."Imma legit pee on myself. Panties are the least of my worries", I yelled as I ran in.Never, ever, ever ×infinity, oh and ever play cards with James. At first I was watching him play online and then I thought I could do better so I brought out the cards officially. Trying to add the spice to the game, Bry said whoever lost had to finish a really big glass of water. I was so focused on winning James that I agreed to do it when Brylee who suggested it, refused to play. She must be having the time of her life right now
RUBY'S POV:There comes a time in your life where nothing moves you anymore but sadly, I haven't been blessed to reach that point so when Jamie introduced me to Raine, I didn't know what to expect. I mean when your potential boyfriend introduces you to a girl he hold by the waist and goes red at the littlest thing she says. I feel so stupid. The thing I ran away from came with an invitation and I still opened my arms to welcome it.Right now, we three are in the sitting room. Not the usual James, Bry and I but James, Raine and I. They're cuddling it up and watching a movie on my Netflix account. I mean I'm a die hard fan of love but ow dare they use my account to get a chance to make out. I draw the line there. I should have probably stepped out and saved myself the stress of witnessing this for the third time this week but I have to put the safety of the house over my frail heart right now. I can't leave these two alone i
RUBY'S POV:"Make sure James is there", I said to Gaby on the phone."What are you up to?", she asked probably warily."One word... Payback", I said smirking."He's been trying to contact you since you left. You know that right?""And I like facing my problems head on""When did James become a problem to you?""Since he thought he could play me and move on in my very before""Speak of the devil, he's here""This makes everything so much better""Ruby, I'm the mischievous one but right now you're scaring me""Drop the call, don't worry", I said. As I dropped the call.In about five minutes, the car came to a screeching stop and as I calculated, James and Brylee came out to the balcony to see what was happening as well as a few nosy passer by that stopped to
RUBY'S POV:After so much protest, James left Bry and I for 10 minutes obviously he's going to get me something on his way back but damn, talk about inseparable."So you guys are still not talking", I asked her."We are but everyday he keeps asking to get back together and I don't want a repeat of all this again" Brylee said, looking sad."If you love him, you'll lose him if you don't risk it even if its this last time""I've heard that one before""I know you have but still""Morning ladies", Richy said coming in from the kitchen."It's 2 in the afternoon. How's that morning", Bry said, cocking an eyebrow up." Hey, with the work I do, you should be happy I'm up", he said, trying to broaden his shoulders."What work Richy? What work?", I asked laughing." You see its this
JAMES' POV:I woke up the next morning a lot earlier than Ruby because I was so set on making our first morning as a couple memorable for her. She was lying face up with one of her legs crossed over me. As I slowly shifted her leg, I noticed the distinct red colour on her otherwise blue bed spread and figured she was going to be grumpy from her period, if she's anything like my sister but to be on the safe side, I began to browse out home remedies.I went to the kitchen and put a kettle of water on fire as I began cracking eggs and toasting the bread for our breakfast. While waiting for her water to heat up, I ate my share. I'm usually a good cook but I swear some part of the egg shell didn't respect my expertise enough to not slip into the mix. I hope she doesn't chew on the shell because I don't know how TV chefs do it. I mean that stuff of hitting the egg by the side of the plate and pouring it into the mix, using
JAMES' POV: I woke up earlier than Ruby and tucked her in nicely. I made to leave after telling Richy I was going and leaving him with enough info to handle his best friend in case she still wakes up cranky. Conversations with Richy are always spontaneous because when he's not trying to hit on me, he's giving me annoying answers to serious questions. He's a good guy though.The driver avoided all the major roads to not get into traffic. By the time I got home, mum was setting the table for dinner and Pearl, my sister didn't wait to be called down today and was actually helping to set the table too."Pear, how you doing?", I said giving her a bear hug and smiling at her back knowing what was coming next." Mum... Jamie won't stop calling me that", she whined."And how's my favorite girl", I said laughing and pointing at my mum."You seem happy. Did she say
RUBY'S POV:MONDAYIt was about three weeks to resumption and I'd gotten everything ready and planned out right to my strut in the hallway, that was until my dad called."Hello, daddy. Good morning", I said wiping the sleep out of my eyes a bit." Hey baby. Did I wake you up?", he said apologetically."There's no issue. What's up dad?""Now I feel bad. The time difference here in *Nevada made me forget you're home""Really, there's no issue dad""I really don't know how to put this baby but I have to start somewhere""What's wrong? Did anything happen to mum? What's up with the company? Kidnappers, Threat notes, robbers? What happened?""Calm down baby. Nothing's wrong with your mum. The business is good although if I'll admit what happened is worst than all those
