CHAPTER 113RUBY'S POV Classes commenced immediately after the whole introduction was over and Patricia took a place at the front of the class to speak to us. I was three weeks late to the class but they told me I hadn't missed a lot because the classes were only three times a week and I could catch up with Patricia in private. Eased that they were interested in carrying me along, I paid attention in class and when it was time for us to paint, Patricia said to open up our minds, free our souls, be transparent with our feelings and draw what felt closest to us in our hearts.The others set to work immediately but I was stuck for a moment. I didn't know how to go about it or what image to have in mind. I was going to draw Sally even if a drawing of her by me wouldn't be perfect but I was terrified.If Dax was the one who got me this membership and he knew Patricia personally, she could give him reports on what I painted and took pictures of and if she told him in secret that I drew an
CHAPTER 114RUBY’S POVThe rest of the week passed in a blur. Dax took me to the gallery everyday as he insisted he would, classes were fun with everyone and I got freer with them over the space of a few days within the week and then Dax would return to pick me up once we were done for the day.Cecelia always teased me about having a man who was obsessed over me and I would laugh over it because she didn’t know everything. She had no idea about what I had done to hurt Dax or what sort of secrets I was keeping away from him because if he knew everything, he wouldn't be obsessed with me anymore.I didn’t bother telling her that though. I doubted if they all had any secrets they didn’t tell in the class but I couldn't bring myself to say mine because they were extreme and I didn’t want to be the most hated person in class.So I would always divert their attention from me while looking forward to the weekend when I could visit Patricia and pour my soul out to her.I didn’t know why but sh
CHAPTER 115RUBY’S POVWhen I got to Miss Garnet’s place according to the address she gave me, I took a moment to compose myself before I pressed the doorbell the first time but there was no response. So I pressed again and waited a moment while holding onto Sally’s hand. Soon, I heard shuffling of feet from behind the door.I heard her open her peephole first and I smiled. Then she opened her door with a smile on her face too and we both hugged each other before she noticed Sally who was still beside me and not saying a word.“I’m so glad you could make it, Ruby. At a point, I wondered if you would call and tell me you can’t come again. I’ve been watching you and I just felt like you were the kind of person who opted out of plans at the last minute because your anxiety and fear got the best of you” she told me and I chuckled quietly because she was right.Over the few days that came before the weekend, I pondered about her invitation to come over and talk at her house and I wondered
CHAPTER 116RUBY’S POV“So tell me, did you have a good time without me while you were on your date?” was the first question Clarissa asked when I showed up on the porch of our house with Sally after getting out of the Uber and I rolled my eyes in response.“Stop being jealous, Clarissa. You know you’ll always be my best friend and number one” I told her while laughing as I took off my shoes and she huffed while folding her arms across her chest.“So you did have fun without me. How was it with her? awkward, enlightening, fun or just blank boring?” she asked me after we both came in and Sally hopped around in the living cheerfully. She didn’t get to play at Patricia’s place but I could tell she enjoyed her lunch and dinner which was probably why she was energetic. Patricia was a great cook.“Hello, aunt Clarissa,” Sally greeted while she kept on hopping around and Clarissa picked her up when she wouldn't stop. Then she began to laugh when she started to tickle her.“Did you miss me,
CHAPTER 117RUBY'S POV “Tell me how much you want me right now, Ruby and if you are not convincing enough, then we’re going to bed right away” Dax said to me and my jaw dropped while I stared at him in shock. If he thought he was in control of the situation, then he had to be joking because I was about to show him I was the one in control.“Is that a threat, Mr. Kellen?” I asked him seductively, my voice barely above a whisper while I trailed my fingers down his chest and he chuckled when he realized what I was doing.“Use your words, Ruby and keep your hands where I can see them because I’m not going to let you turn me on with your hands” he replied and I smirked as I placed my hand over his length at that moment, making him drag in a long audible breath in reaction.“I’m sorry, what were you saying?” I asked, trying to act clueless and he shot me a sharp, lustful look after realizing this was a losing game for him and he was eventually going to pleasure me as I wanted.“Ruby…” he
CHAPTER 118RUBY’S POV“Ruby, you better get your ass out of bed this instant. I know it’s a sunday morning but it’s 12 pm already and you haven’t had breakfast” Clarissa yelled from outside my room, her voice sounding far off as I woke up to see it was morning already.I moved to get out of bed but was held back by the large arm wrapped tightly around me and I looked back over my shoulder to see it was Dax and he was asleep. We both had a blanket over ourselves but we were stark naked beneath and memories from the previous night flooded my head, making my face heat up as I recalled everything and Dax opened his eyes to look at me.“Hey, baby” he called sweetly, his voice deep and rough and doing things to my insides and I smiled at him beforre giving him a brief good morning kiss and he pulled me closer just as I moved to get out of bed for the second attempt.I laughed when he rubbed the tip of his nose against mine and he grinned too before pulling back and watching me.“What was
CHAPTER 119RUBY'S POV Dax got ready and returned just as I asked him too and I on the other hand was almost ready too. So he waited in the living room while I put on a black colored with white flowered patterned sundress.Then I held my hair up in a ponytail and wore a pair of shades before I grabbed my purse and left for the living room where he waited only to see he was getting drilled by Clarissa for using the window and I held back my laughter when he looked at me with eyes that cried for help.“Okay, okay. That's enough Missy. Next time, he'll use the door to coke in okay?” I interrupted, gaining her attention as she stopped drilling Dax to look at me and she frowned. “Whatever. Soothe yourselves” she snapped and stood up before exiting the living room. Dax stood up and I internally swooned at how effortlessly good he looked. He was dressed in all black; a pair of black jean trousers, a black T shirt along with a black leather jacket and I realized he was holding his hand out
CHAPTER 120RUBY'S POV “Tell me again, Patricia. What did you just say?” Dax asked Patricia again just to be sure he heard correctly and she giggled.“Stop acting so surprised like you don't know about it already. Ruby told me when she came over for our date you know? She said you're both Sally's parents and she also said she would come clean to you which I'm sure she has already done and I have to say… I planned to tell you guys when you know the truth, that you're a perfect duo to have kids. Your children are going to look like angels” She ranted, telling Dax for the second time that he was Sally's father and how she got to know about it which was enough to show that even though she was drunk, she wasn't speaking gibberish because if she was repeating the same thing twice, It meant it was true.I just stood there motionless and speechless as I stared at her like I had seen a ghost and I wondered if I was also pale too because there was suddenly a loud ringing in my head and I felt
