The waiter helped cleared their plate when they were done eating. They had gotten a couple of looks from some of the waiters but that was kind of expected. The last time they were at the restaurant, they had caused a scene and had left everyone staring at them. “Are you okay now?” Ruby asked She had always been the mom’s friend of the group. She always had Esme in check and wanted her to be okay. “I think I’ll be fine,” Esme said tiredly.The doctors had placed her on medications which made her tired easily. “Ruby” she started. “I know I have so many things to apologize to you for, I’ve probably been the worst friend you’ve ever had. I can’t take back everything I’ve done but I want you to know I’m really sorry” Ruby tried her best not to cry or be emotional about it. They had given the people at the restaurant too much show.

She had broken up with the father of her unborn child and the man she claimed she loved so much.

“Is anything the matter?” Esme asked, her voice laced with concern Ruby had stared at the picture for more than two minutes. “Did you just say he’s a doctor?” Ruby askedHer voice had never failed her but now, it seemed to do so. She tried so hard to believe it was Ethan or maybe he had a twin that he hadn’t told her about. Any thing , any excuse to make sure it wasn’t the same Ethan she knew. “Yes?” Esme answered with a brow raised in confusion. “Do you know him?” Ruby nodded slowly. She wasn’t sure if it was right to tell Esme the truth, considering that she was pregnant and had been through a rough breakup with Ethan. “Tell me what you know about him”Ruby knew it was more of an order.

Nate held his breath as he watched her strut in her heels. She wore a simple black cocktail gown with a deep plunge at the back. He was taken away and lost for words as he could see the sale of her round butt. He groaned a little as he felt a sensation in his lower member. He wanted her body against his own immediately. She had her hair in a low bun, leaving tendrils to frame her heart shaped face. She wasn’t putting on her glasses and he had a proper view of how beautiful her eyes were. They matched the color of the ocean and had a shine to it. Ruby barely wore any makeup but he was still amazed at how stunning she looked.
