Ruth watched him as he left, she rushed to the door and locked it. She rested on the back of her door with her eyes closed.
“I asked for an exciting life and not a weird one, why did you bring me to a psycho?“ She asked looking at the ceiling. “It's a good day, I won't let him ruin it for me, I've gotten a job with good pay, one step at a time.“ She muttered tapping herself on the shoulders. Ruth went to her room, took a bath, and came back to the living room to make dinner for herself. She ate and went to bed. The next day, Ruth hurriedly took a bath and dressed up for work, the moment she stepped out of her bedroom, a loud gasp escaped her lips. She held her heart trying to calm it down as her heartbeat took a different pace when she saw the figure sitting on her sofa. “Good morning beautiful,” he beamed and woke up from his seat. “You look even more beautiful today.“ He took slow steps towards her. “What in the name of God are you doing in my apartment? And how did you get in?“ She looked at her door and it was the same way she left it yesterday. She took huge steps backward, her eyes held his. “Again, it wasn't hard.“ He caught up to her, pinned her to the wall, he raised both of her hands above her head. Ruth's heart skipped a couple of beats. He brought his lips to her earlobe, his free hand held her waist, and pulled her close. “Are you scared?“ He asked peering deep into her dark brown eyes. Ruth was lost in the moment, her eyes noticed some of his features. His dark eyes, his firm cheekbones, his pointy nose, and his luscious lips. His brown hair was long enough to reach his shoulders. When she realized herself, she struggle to break free from his hold. “Hey step back.“ She muttered trying to free herself.“What if I don't want to?“ He simpered.
Ruth raised her legs, she aimed at the young man in between his legs, but luckily Robert caught her leg on time, he spread them apart and stood in between. “That was a dangerous game you just played my sweet little Ruth.“ he muttered. He bit her earlobe, Ruth gasped, her eyes voluntarily shut. Robert smirked, he took a couple of steps back giving her space to breathe. “Goodbye little mouse,” he blew her a kiss and left. Ruth stood unmoving, her breathing was out of place. She held her chest in an attempt to cool down her heart which was pounding heavily. She looked at the time and she was almost late for her first day, she rushed out and boarded a cab which took her to work. Luckily her boss was yet to come in, she hurriedly put things in place on his desk. “You are early, Wendy will give you a run down on things here. She is going to show you what you are supposed to do every time you come to work.“ Her boss explained. Ruth nodded her head and followed Wendy. Wendy was the former PA, she resigned from work because she was given a better position in another company. Wendy taught her everything she needs to know, she taught her how to make his coffee. “That should be all, I will email you his pending work and his schedule for this week.“ Wendy uttered, she shook hands with Ruth and left. After a long day at work, it was finally time for Ruth to retire for the day. She thought of what happened yesterday and today at her place and decided to talk to the landlady about it. The landlady looked like she was in her mid-seventies, her short grey hair rested perfectly on each side of her head. Her wrinkled face twisted into a frown when she saw Ruth coming from afar.
“Good evening Mrs. Lawrencia, I have a complaint that needs to be attended to.“ Ruth went straight to the point, she saw no reason for formalities.
“Evening, what can that be?“ Lawrencia asked. “The guy living in the other apartment connected to mine is a nuisance. I don't know how he does it but he enters my house like it's his, I went to work the other day and when I came back I saw him in my house, I don't know how he got in.“ she seethed. “I am not involved in anything you have with him, the only thing we have is a contract together with you being my tenant. Find a way to settle your problem, I have other things to do if you have nothing else to say then you can see yourself out.“ Lawrencia said, she stood up and left, Ruth's mouth open. She angrily returned to her apartment, she stood by the door pondering if she should go in or not, and she decided to summon the courage. She went in expecting to see him but he wasn't present, she looked around but he wasn't in her house. Ruth stood in front of the wall which he had harassed her on this morning, her lips twitched “pervert.“ She muttered and went in. She went in, took a bath, and came back with just her bathrobe on. “Missed me?“ She heard his familiar voice. He stood by the door, “damn you are sexy,” he murmured loud enough for her to hear. He entered the room fully, he took quick steps toward her while she did the opposite. Her hands held the bathrobe as though her life depended on it. “Please leave, don't come close.“ She muttered still going backward. “Don't worry, I won't be doing anything. I made you dinner, are you hungry?“ He inquired. “What do you want from me?“ She questioned. “Nothing much love, I just want to be your friend.“ He smiled. He stopped in front of her, his eyes held hers in a staring competition. “Friends don't break into each other house, friends don't harass their friends.“ She pointed out. “Well, I don't want a normal friendship little mouse, have you ever heard of friends with benefits?…”“Friends with benefits? Are you crazy?“ Ruth yelled with a loud voice, “I'm not crazy, trust me you won't regret it.“ He said with a smile on his cute face, “get out of my fucking house,” she yelled but he didn't make an effort to leave. “But I made you dinner, don't tell me you are not going to eat the food I made for you.“ He said with a sad face, “I didn't ask you to cook for me, did I?“ Ruth asked, her hands still on her bathrobe, “Ouch, that hurts but sadly I don't take no for an answer so it's either you eat the food or I spend the night in your room, you choose.“ He leaned against the wall and folded his arms, pushed himself forward, and went to her closet. “What are you doing?“ She asked, “Do you plan on wearing your bathrobe for the rest of the day? I don't mind if you do.“ “I can handle myself,” she snapped, she angrily walked to her closet and picked a loose shirt and shorts. She went back to the bathroom and changed into it. “Today was a hectic day
“Are you okay Ruth? What got you all riled up?“ Robert asked, taking a step forward but pausing in his tracks when she glared at him. “you have the guts to ask me if I am okay? If you care then leave right now.“ She yelled, Robert took long strides towards her and hugged her, she tried fighting him off but he was too strong for her. “I don't want to hurt you, Ruth, I mean no harm.“ He said still holding her. “Just leave,” she said, “I made dinner and I won't leave until you've eaten something.“ He said, Robert always gets what he wants either by hook or by crook. “Not today please,” she begged, She stopped struggling and just let the warmth of his skin comfort her although he was the reason why she was angry. “Let's go to bed then,” he said like it was normal. “What?“ Ruth asked, she pushed him and took a few steps back. “What?“ He tilted his head to the side, he took slow strides toward her. Ruth didn't understand, one moment he was comforting her and th
“That's what makes it exciting,” Robert said, he gulped his drink till the last drop, Ruth stared at him wide eyes, “Are you planning on getting drunk? Who will take us back home?“ She asked, “Have fun Ruth, live life, and stop being so uptight,” Ruth decided to take his advice, she discarded the straw and gulped the entire content in her glass. “Woah, when I said you should live life, I didn't mean you should get drunk. I can hold my alcohol but I don't think you can.“ He looked at her, and she looked fine, it looked like the alcohol didn't affect her. “I want more, you are right... I came here because I want to have a fun-filled life, I'm not going to get that by sitting in my room all day,” she yelled, “Just one more, okay?“ She nodded like a child, Robert brought one more glass of the same cocktail drink for her and she gulped it. “Shit,” he muttered, he just realized that the alcohol had already taken effect but he didn't see it. “One more,” she said raisi
“It's going to lead to something,” she blurted out, “It's not, give in Ruth,” he persuaded her into accepting, she pushed him and mouthed some gibberish, and all of a sudden she was mute. “Ruth?“ He called out to her but received no response, he realized that she had fallen asleep. He shook his head and took off her shoes, and he went to the bathroom and brought a bowl containing water and a cloth, he cleaned her face and hands. The next day, Ruth woke up late, her head was throbbing hard. “Huh,” she groaned, she held her head in her wincing in pain. “That's what happens when you drink too much,” She heard a familiar voice from behind her, startled, she jumped and tried to move back, but she fell off the bed with a thud. “What in heaven's name are you doing on my bed? Don't tell me you spend the night in my house?“ She yelled, her head clicked, she checked herself and only calmed down when she realized he hasn't touched her. Robert just looked at her while she spoke, h
The next day, they got their selves tested just like Ruth wanted, they were clean. "Are you satisfied?" Robert asked, "Yes I am," Ruth replied, they returned to the apartment. "My boss just sent me something to work on, see you later?" Ruth said, Robert, looked at her like she was trying to crack a joke, Without a word, he pulled her into his home and slammed her back on the door, he crashed his lips on her, "are you kidding me? You want to work now?" He asked with raised eyebrows, "I...I" she stuttered, she didn't expect him to react that way, her words got stuck in her throat. Robert slammed his lips on hers again, the kiss was deep and breathtaking, "Open up for me," Robert ordered, and she did as she was told. His tongue slipped into her mouth, she moaned when he grabbed her boobs, Ruth's body responded to his touch like it has been waiting for him to touch her. "Ihmm," she moaned, Robert, it was time to take her to the room, with their mouths clued on each other
Ruth nodded her head, "I'll start taking pills," she affirmed. Robert pulled her close and buried his nose in the crook of her neck."Robert, I have to go," she muttered slowly."Not just yet, I'll help you out with the task your boss gave you. You should rest." He said, Ruth stayed still.Robert's warm breath fanned her neck whenever he breathed out, while he was sleeping peacefully with her in his arms, Ruth was thinking of the sex they just had.Her ex-boyfriends were never this exciting in bed but they would call her boring. She remembered the last time she had sex with her ex-boyfriend...….. Flashback……Her ex-boyfriend Andrew came home to visit her for the weekends since she was free from work."Andrew, what would you like to eat for dinner?" She asked as a good girlfriend would."You.." he trailed off,Ruth cleared her throat, she could feel a tingling sensation in between her legs and it spread out in her body."Stop fooling around," she reprimanded him,"Who said I'm fooling
"How was work?" Robert asked, his voice was loud because of the noise coming from the motorcycle and other transportation on the road. "Work was fine," she muttered, "although my thoughts were occupied.." she said that last part in her head. "What do you want for dinner?" He asked, "It depends on who is buying," Ruth said with a light laugh, "I'm buying," Robert replied, "I'll have a hotpot," she said. Robert glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. He stopped in front of a fancy restaurant. "What are we doing here Robert?" She asked Robert, Robert packed the motorcycle, and he took her helmet and kept it with his. "To have dinner," came his short reply. Ruth was feeling skeptical about entering this restaurant. "Robert.." she trailed, Robert held her hand and pulled her into the restaurant. A waitress assigned them to a table, "What would you like to have?" The waitress asked, "Please give us a moment." Ruth smiled at her, and she turned to Robert after the wa
“But I have to go to work tomorrow, Robert please don't force me to go with you.“ She pouted. “Why did you come to Las Vegas?“ Robert asked looking her in the eyes. “Because I want to spice up my life, it is bland.“ she muttered. “Then you should do that, do fun things and stop being a boring workaholic.“ He stood up and pulled her from the bed. “Let us take a bath together,” he muttered. After the bath, Matthew carried her on his bike to the place he told her about. Ruth was beyond scared, she kept looking at places, and she was a bit jumpy. The place had an orange hue light because of the bulbs that produced light, and tall trucks were occupying the place. People gathered to watch the rest, girls dressed in bikinis walked around, and some had shorts and bras. “Robert I'm not comfortable,” she muttered. “You'll be when you get used to it.“ He winked at her and went to his section, he changed into his racing suit. It was a black and red jumpsuit with white lines, it hu
