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?

RUBY'S POV:TUESDAYI laid down staring at the ceiling in Richy's room as we talked about this whole situation with The Lock. Somehow we both knew we'd have to part soon and the whole room was heavy with sadness as we reminisced on the past times.He kept reminding me of the first time we tried the monkey bars, how he'd always been the one to push me while I used the swings in the playground at home. He reminded me of how we used to sneak out of the house to make mud pies. How our first taste of alcohol from the local bar made us almost swear off drinking. All those memories that I would have to hold when I move.I feel it in my bones that I'd soon have to leave. I haven't had time to create memories with James but by God he had etched his name on my heart, mind and brain. For once my whole being was in an agreement on the fact that it really doesn't take months f

Yeah""You have to go back home, you know that right?""Why""I can't believe you asked me that.

RUBY'S POV:THURSDAYI'm leaving Nigeria in the next 16 hours. Only God knows how long I'll be there but God and man, I'm going to try to enjoy it.I'm a teenager after all. I'm not meant to think too much into the part of my future that entails marriage. I'm just human though so I frequently find myself thinking of how my wedding procession will be? Who will be that special man in a white suit?All these thoughts are recurrent in my mind and no matter how hard I try to deny it, I only see James fitting in the specifications I feel I need for a man in a white suit that day.As a teenager, you're meant to be lost in the world and trying to find yourself but of course, the need to feel loved and accepted really blurs our vision most time and we find ourselves being blown away by what we call a special need, a higher priority.Right now, I need that sp

RUBY'S POV:FRIDAYI hit my hand behind me when I didn't see James' hand around my waist. The spot he had laid on was cold. That's when I stood up and really checked if he'd rolled off the bed or something. My bed is big enough for four people so it wouldn't surprise me if he'd mistakenly rolled. Seeing that he actually wasn't there, I finally stood up and checked the time hoping I could sleep for 5 more hours so I'd purposely say I missed the flight. Sadly, my prayer was ignored and the clock read six am. Whether I liked it or not, I had to start preparing for my flight. I took my bath slowly, wasting at least 10 minutes brushing my teeth. I stepped out of the bathroom and checked the time to see that I'd used up 45 minutes in the bathroom. Part of the reason was I kept playing songs sang by the likes of Johnny Drille, Ed Sheeran, Mabel and Fireboy DML. They weren't necessarily heartbreak songs bu

TEN YEARS LATERRUBY'S POV:"Dear Lord, it's another mission. I've gone undercover more times than I've gone on dates and you've been with me through it all. Rapists, drug dealers, mafias and the likes but this is bigger than big. James is involved, Lord. I don't want to be caught and risk more than just my life. All I ask for right now is success and by success, I don't want my cover to be blown. I've never been in on a case as important as this but Lord take over", I said as I adjusted the head tie I had used as a veil over my now shoulder length dark hair.Standing up, I used my hands to smoothen off the creases on my dress and what little dust the material had absorbed from the altar in the chapel. It had become my thing over the years.Before any thing, big or small, any event at all that I was about perform, I'd take out time to com

JAMES' POV:They always say actions speak louder than words and that had become very evident in the life I have become accustomed to over the years. Those words left my mouth more times than I could count. I've gotten used to my life becoming a form of entertainment to the people that knew me, both directly and indirectly. What more would you expect from a star, verified on social medias and considered an influential person in the society. The things I'd rather do gave way to publicity stunts, all I did was planned by my manager, to keep me relevant, to keep the audience wanting more but not knowing enough to destroy the confidentiality of my life.I was a puppet in my father's hand. Everything I did was planned years before I did it. I'd rather have studied aeronautical engineering but here I am with a degree in theatre arts and my face on the front line of entertainment news for my appearances at different cer

RUBY'S POV:The meal for the night was a simple rice and beef stew for the crew. I'd heard around that James was on board but I hardly believe it. I was on my way to the kitchen which adjoined to the dining room. Just then, I heard Kevin call my name and I looked over the balcony but my eye instead caught a different thing. A certain guy that stood out in his all black suit and a nice patterned shirt. Almost every guy that came on board were on suits and all looking businesslike but what more would you expect from the best gang in Nigeria.Don't get my wrong I despise all the types, be it gangs, cults or whatever they choose to go by but I especially hate the cults. Like if I wanted to be in a brotherhood or sisterhood, I'd pull up at a friends house or have a get together and just lay it out flat and then we'd have crazy handshakes and swear to be by each others side, why in earth would I need to pass an initiation.
