Jones POV
"Ruby!" I yelled out her name but she ignored me walking away angrily. I definitely know how she can be when she is angry. I ran following her till I was able to get a hold of her hand.
"Calm down baby geez" I said trying to sound as apologetic as I can
"Get your damn hand away from me Jones" she snapped grabbing her hand away from my grip. She is way too upset with me.
"Who do you think you are huh? What exactly do you take me for?" She was looking at me with those cute green eyes filled with anger and I think love. Don't blame me, she is mad at me but she is also madly in love with me.
"Baby please" I put my palms together pleading. "I am so so so sorry okay? I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Just don't...
"Don't give me shit Jones" she cut me off. I sighed.
"We haven't seen each other for the pasted damn weeks. I agreed to this freaking date thinking that you will do better but yet you made it worse by coming late?!
Do you think am a ball or something you can play with any time you want?" She was furious. I don't like seeing her like this. She's that one person apart from my parents that get to shut me down.
"No baby you are not like that okay? I am sorry for coming late and am so sorry for not..."
"Look Jones," she raised her right hand at me
"If you are fade up with this" she gestured both of us with her hand. "With us, you let me know so we can go our separate ways. Seriously this is not what I signed up for!"
"Come on sugar don't say that. I can never be fade up with you" I moved closer to her
"With this our beautiful relationship" I kissed her cheek. She moved away a bit from me and there I knew that I have to try harder.
"I am sorry. I really am okay? I have been having meetings for the pasted weeks. It took all my time. I didn't even have time for myself!" I emphasized. She was looking at anywhere but me.
I sighed
I moved closer to her and hold her hand
"Please baby am sorry"
"You had meetings." She turned and faced me. I nodded yes. "Aren't you the CEO?" I sighed " You are the freaking CEO you have the power to cancel the meetings and attend to your woman! But no, you decide to attend all your damn meetings. I don't..." She raised her two hands to the air, looked away and then to me "Am I even important to you?"
"Of course you are baby. You are more then important. You know I love you so much. Your happiness is my priority"
"Then make me happy."
I sighed
"All I want is you Jones. Do you know how it was for me during those freaking weeks without you?"
I held her by her waist tightly looking straight into her eyes. I could see the pain I caused my beautiful woman. She missed me I could tell. I also missed her. I have to make her a promise.
I smiled at her and touched her cheek my right hand. She look beautiful whenever she is angry
"What are you smiling at?"
"You"
She looked away
"You are so beautiful tonight. All dressed looking sexy for me" I looked at her from her toe to her head.
She was still looking away
"I am very sorry okay? I promise you it will never happen again"
She looked at me
"Even though I have bunch of meetings I'll cancel them just to be with you. You know I love you right?"
She was silent
"Hmm?"
" I am beginning to doubt that" she rolled her eyes
"No need to doubt baby." I raised her chin will my index finger. I wanted her to look at me and quit the anger already. It's becoming frustrating.
"I do love you. You're my one and only woman. My heart and soul. My everything. I can never love any other woman the way I love you." I noticed a quick little smile that passed her face. She was still upset but this time she was faking it. I guess my hard work is succeeding.
"Come on babe... Say you forgive me."
She sighed "you are never going to break that promise of yours are you?"
"Never. I cross my heart" I made a sign with my hand on my chest.
She smiles. "God I missed you" she hugged me tightly. So glad, now aggressive Ruby is gone. Sweet Ruby is here. Gosh i don't want to ever see aggressive Ruby again.
"Me too"
She cut the hug"You are looking good and hot tonight" she said brushing my suit.
"Forget about me. You look breathtaking." She smiled
"And threatening. Cause other guys I'm sure won't be able to resist you" I said looking around the restaurant.
"Oh please they are not worth it. They are certainly nothing" she hanged her hands around my neck. She was not that tall and not that short. She could barely reach my shoulders.
"So they did hit on you?"
"Yeah. You kept me waiting but not too worry. Ruby Williams is only for Jones Martins no body else" she smiled
I nodded liking the sound of that. "That's right you are mine"
"Yeah" she drew me down to her height and kissed me so passionately.
I started kissing her back. God I missed these sexy lips. I could stay here kissing her all day without stopping. She is my enchantment. Will I ever get enough of her.
We parted for air and I couldn't deny that I wanted more. But I realized we were standing in the middle of the restaurant.
"Let's go to my house. I want to spend the night with you." She said caressing my face
I would love that but I'll have to inform my mum. I don't want her getting worried.
"Sure. I'll call my mum and inform her that am not coming home" I brought out my phone, about to dial the number when she stopped me.
"Seriously Jones... You want to call your mother first?"
I opened my mouth and closed, not knowing what to say to her. I know that look on her face. She don't hate my parents or something just that she doesn't like it when I inform my parents about things before I do them.
"What are you, a teenage boy? You don't have to tell her. You are a grown man okay? She will understand."
I sighed.
"I wonder why you still live with your family. Out of all the money you get from the different frames you owe in this country you still don't want to buy your own private house" She was unhappy I could see it.
I no doubt want a private house of my own but I can't because of some reasons. My family house is my house. My inheritance. I'm the only freaking son. I got sisters that will soon marry out and I got to stay there and feel it with grandchildren for my parents. But I plan to buy a penthouse with a beach at the back. It's not going to be my permanent home but a place I could go to whenever I need to think, get privacy or calm my nerves whenever mum gets to it like she usually do.
"Ruby...i'm the only son"
"And I am an only child. But I have my own mansion." She's making me see reasons. Yes she is an only child. She is the daughter of a two time mayor of this town. Her father is also rich. As rich as me. He spoil her beyond compare. People say she is a spoilt brat. A saucy bitch but i don't see her that way. To me she is cute and sweet. A bitch but my own bitch. I love her the way she is. The way she carry herself and show her high class standard. She is my perfect match. My badass woman.
"You really have to do something about the house thing" she said looking away.
I smiled.
"Sure baby" I held her waist.
"Besides am planning on buying a penthouse with a beach at the back""When?"
"This week"
She looked at me " That sounds great"
"Yeah. But I won't be living there permanently"
She roll her eyes at this and sighed.
"Fine. Whatever you like so far you are buying your own private house it doesn't matter how you live in it"
I kissed her lips slightly.
"We cannot be going to my house alone. We could also go to your own house" she said
"Yeah and we will be doing lots and lots of those nasty things we usually do" I said with a smirk on my face.
"Ooh.... Speaking of nasty... Why don't we go to my house and begin what do you say?" She asked in a seductive way and I know what she meant. The thought of her doing those nasty things are already turning me on. Can't wait to get to it already.
"That's a very great idea. Come on"
We left the restaurant.
I ordered my driver to take my car home. I followed Ruby in hers. We are on our way to get nasty. I have missed being with Ruby. She is just know the exact way to drive me crazy.
Elma's POVFive thirty in the morning, am ready to do something to raise the money for our rent. My family are still sound asleep, I didn't want to wake them or tell them about my plans. I just want to do this alone. I don't like them suffering. I have to do this without them and am sure that when I go out there I will surely find something to do that will earn me some money. Without them being with me, I will be able to concentrate and work harder bearing in mind that this is for my family. Yes they give me some much strength. I really cannot live without them cause they are like the air that I breathe.Come on El, this is for your family.I stepped out of the house quietly after grabbing my small worn out bag and hung it on my shoulders. Not wanting to wake anyone, I closed the door gently and moved out.Walking along the road, last night's drama came to my mind. After Christian and I had carried dad inside, he woke up around nine pm yesterday. My mother was beside him yesterday. S
Did he just... Am I hearing things?"Um... Sir are you serious? He smiled and said "I am" he put his hands inside his drawer and brought some money. "Here's the advance and a little more for the help you gave me today" I was still shocked, I never saw this coming. He is actually offering me a job and paying advance geez, aren't that a miracle?"Here you go" he said handing me the money. I couldn't help but stare at it in his hand. That was more than enough, I could pay the rent and use the remaining for something else. How is it that I made the money for our rent in a day? double OMG!"Aren't you going to take it?"Oh!"I snapped out of my thoughts and collected the money but still couldn't believe it. This man was a not only nice but generous too."Thank you very much sir, you don't know how much you helped me, am so so grateful sir!" I knelt down before thanking him, I thought good people were scarce in this world but I was wrong.But this was too much. I helped him just a day and h
Elma's POV"Where did you get all these money from El?" My mother asked. I knew what she was thinking. That i got it illegally or by other possible dubious means. She could think anything but I don't blame her, how I got the money was still shocking to me."I have told you mum"I said"But sis the story is awkward" Christine said looking at Christian."Yeah sis, how could that be?" Christian asked. These twins share same sensitivity."Look, it's the truth okay? I couldn't believe it either" Mum kept staring at me. The woman is finding it hard to believe.I sighed "mum I didn't do anything thing illegal to get this money. Besides, you know your child."I said trying to convince her."This is serious, I didn't know there are still good people in this world" she said looking at the money in disbelief."I thought the same thing mum" I said"Doesn't he have any children or family to take care of?" Christian asked."That's the point, the man has no one except himself." I said and the all real
Elma's POV"Bye guys" I left the house after bidding my family goodbye, I couldn't afford to be late that's why I didn't eat breakfast but mum insisted I carry the food to work. She packaged it in a lunch box.Mum was worrying too much besides I don't like taking breakfast but I had to so as not to make her worry too much. Am glad she is recovering little by little, am becoming tired of her weak side.The road was as quiet as usual. It's just 5:30am, there are no much people around. Just a few people.The morning smell so good. Maybe it's because things are becoming to turn around for my family and I.I hope we get lots of customers today, i can't wait to see Mr Benson's happy face once he sells all his fishes. I just like seeing people happy. Mum scolds me sometimes about that, she said I should think about my happiness first before others but that seems hard.My day was starting to go well not until I bumped into someone. Shit.. that one person I hated with passion in this town."C
Elma's POVIt was 10:00am, Sunday morning. I didn't go to work today cause Mr Benson kept the day sacred. He said he spends the day cleaning up his house, resting and visit his wife in the cemetery. I offered to help out in the cleaning but he insisted I stay at home and rest. I have been working there for three days now and it has been nothing but fun. Mr Benson was very happy since the passed three days. He still calls me his lucky charm. According to him, he hasn't made so much like he did since I started working for him. I was very glad that I brought happiness to his heart, he is such a kind man.There wasn't much to do at home, my siblings finished all the work. I had finished cooking, served my mum and siblings. Dad isn't always around even on Sundays that is suppose to be family bonding time. I guess the man will never change.I finished eating so I decided to go and buy mum's remaining drugs. Am very happy that mum is getting better and we have also paid our rent so no troubl
"Please come sit" she moved to the couch as I followed her from behind. I sat opposite her."Um, here is your phone" I gave her the phone. She collected it happily."Oh dear, thank you very much. I don't know what I would have done without this phone, it has lots of important documents in it.""Well, I suggest you be careful cause there are lots of thieves around and they don't have a heart." I said and someone spoke up from the stairs."Please tell her my dear"Felicia and I looked towards the direction where the voice spoke from and I saw a lady decending the stairs.She could be up to forty to fifty or less. I couldn't say because she looked very beautiful and had a nice skin. I don't think she is that old. She also has a striking resemblance with Felicia and Jones. Must be their mother or.."Oh come on mum, it doesn't happen all the time"She is their mother. What a family of beauty in a mansion of beauties."Yeah tell me. I could remember vividly not up to a month ago you misplac
Elma's POVThe day was going well. I sold almost all the fishes. Mr Benson went for a meeting and I know that he will be very happy to see that I have sold most of his fishes.It's almost a week since I went to Terrison and I still can't stop thinking about it. All the beautiful things there and the environment was very enticing. Most especially the Martins ' mansion. It was like the castle of the kingdom of Terrison. And most of all, the breathtaking man I saw on that picture, Jones. Just as cute as his name.Christine hasn't stop teasing me about him. I shouldn't have told her that part. I guess I was carried away by his charms that I didn't know i was blushing while explaining everything to her.Gosh she is beginning to annoy me with that. It's not that am crushing on him or something..... Am I crushing? Nah. I can't be.Even if I was, am hundred percent sure that he won't blink at me talk more of be interested in me. A guy as handsome and rich as he is goes for classic and beauti
Jones POVSeated on the chair in my office facing the window.I Just took two bottles of beer I ordered and still drinking the third one as I recalled the new outcome.__________Flash back"What are you trying to say dad?""Your mother and I have seen the girl you are going to marry".I looked at my parents as if they had grown two heads. They can't be serious."You are joking right?" I hoped so"Do I look like I am, son?" He was looking at me dead in the eyes. He was serious."But dad I thought we have settled this shit. You told me you will do something about what I told you about!" "Well, I told you that just to send you off. I wasn't going to allow you marry some random ill mannered spoilt brat""Geez dad! Why are you saying this? You and mum can't do that to me"I look at mum who just smiled and rolled her eyes. This is definately her doing. If she wasn't my mother I would have called her a witch!."What is IT we are doing to you son?"Dad asked. I could feel my eyes about to te
