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 yo
“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
