The club was already in full swing when Ruby and Naomi arrived. They walked up to the bar for drinks.
“Hello handsome, can we get two shots of tequila?” Naomi said, flashing the sweetest smile she could come up with.“No, Naomi, I want something mild like a cocktail,” Ruby said, almost in a whisper.“Ruby, you need to loosen up, and tequila does a perfect job.”“It’s too strong, you know I’m a light drinker.”“Come on, Ruby, don’t be a party pooper,” Naomi said, trying to convince her.“Alright, just one shot,” Ruby said resignedly.“Barman, please get us two shots of tequila!” Naomi shouted, making sure the bartender heard her.When the drinks arrived, Naomi quickly gulped hers and hit the dance floor. She tried pulling Ruby to dance with her, but she turned her down. Naomi was a social butterfly, very popular, and could easily blend into the crowd. She loved to party hard, which was the direct opposite of her friend. Ruby never understood the idea behind clubbing; she hated crowded and loud places, finding it difficult to keep up with Naomi.One shot of tequila turned to two, and then she lost count. She was gulping the drink as if the solution to her problems lay at the bottom of the shot glass. Her phone lit up, and it was a text from Naomi:“Hey girl, I hope you’re okay. I just met this hottie, and we’re about to leave the club for more fun. I hope you hook up with a nice guy tonight.”Ruby wasn’t surprised at all because that was the kind of person Naomi was—like a moving train, always where the fun was. Ruby smiled, shaking her head, and began to put her phone away. Then, her notification light came on again. It was another text from Naomi."Remember, to get that bastard out of your system, you need to get another bastard in... Whatever happens tonight at the club remains at the club." Ruby stared at her phone for a while. She couldn’t imagine getting laid tonight. She smiled and gulped her drink at once.Ruby’s beautiful figure caught the attention of a certain young man nesting by the corner. She seemed bored and alone, and he was here to relieve some sexual tension, so he decided to approach her. If he was lucky, he would get what he wanted: a good time with no attachment. Like a lion approaching its prey, he walked up to her.“Take it easy on the drinks else you will hate yourself by morning once the hangover hits.” Ruby lifted her face to the direction of the voice and she almost gaped. The owner of the voice was so good-looking, that he could pass as the god of beauty. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. Tall, with the perfect face and body, his body was perfectly chiselled, and his dark blue eyes felt like a deep hole, pulling her in. His skin and hair looked properly taken care of, more than some ladies including her. He was smiling at her, revealing a perfect set of porcelain teeth. Ruby realized she was staring hard. She looked away, feeling embarrassed.“It’s fine, you can stare as much as you want. I tend to get that reaction from people a lot,” Mr. Handsome said, still smiling. He signalled the barman.“A shot of whiskey on the rocks,” he requested. Ruby was too embarrassed to respond, so she just stared at her drink.“So, are you here to have fun or drink yourself to a stupor?” the handsome stranger asked.Ruby couldn’t tell what fun looked like, even if it hit her on the face, but she was enjoying the attention from Mr. Handsome. She didn’t want him to see her as a loser. Naomi’s text kept flashing in her head, so she smiled, turned to face him, and played along.“I’m here for the fun, but the night isn’t going as planned,” Ruby lied while flashing the most seductive smile she could.“What kind of fun were you expecting?”“You know what kind,” Ruby said, seductively eyeing the handsome stranger. If she was to get laid tonight, then he was the perfect candidate. She couldn’t believe she was doing this; she had never been the type to make a move on any guy.Mr. Handsome stared at her for a while, as if trying to see through her mirage. She couldn’t help but break under his scrutinising gaze.“Fine, I just got dumped and I need to get laid, and you seem perfect for the job,” she said all in one breath.“Straight to the point...huh...What makes me perfect for the job?” He queried.“Well, for starters, you don’t seem like the emotional type, which is the last thing I need right now,” Ruby said, praying deep down for all of this to end. She had resolved to go home if he turned her down.Mr. Handsome stared at Ruby for a while. She was so beautiful, but she seemed more like a little lamb than what she was trying to portray. But if it was her wish to go to bed with him, he wouldn’t turn her down. He picked up his drink and took a final sip.“Follow me,” he commanded.“Where are we going to?” Ruby asked, confused. Even if she wanted to get laid badly, she didn’t know this guy; he could be a serial killer.“You said you wanted sex. Would you rather I bend you over in the club?” He asked bluntly.Ruby couldn’t reply. She tried hard to swallow her saliva as the image of him bending her over at the club flashed before her. She blushed hard and quietly followed the handsome stranger.They got into one of the exotic cars parked at a corner outside the club and zoomed off. Arriving at the Grand Hotel, it was so beautiful and luxurious, obviously meant for the high and mighty. Ruby had never been to such a place before and she felt totally out of place. She knew she couldn’t afford a room here, as everything at the hotel spoke luxury in loud volumes. Mr Handsome must have money to throw around, she thought. Why bring her to such a nice place just for sex? He was greeted by the receptionist as they walked past to the elevator. They got in, and he pressed the thirteenth button. In no time, the elevator dinged to indicate that they had arrived at their destination—a penthouse. The penthouse was huge, occupying the entire floor. It had a ceiling-to-floor window, and the view was magnificent.“Drinks?” Stephan offered.“I would rather have you,” Ruby replied in a sexy voice.“Slow down, tiger... we have all night,” he replied as he walked to the bar to get some drinks. He handed a glass to Ruby while he sipped his.“Thank you, Mr. Handsome,” Ruby said before tasting the drink. It was a creamy sweet liquor, better than all the drinks she had ever had.“Are you going to tell me your name, or should I keep calling you Mr. Hands—” Her words were caught in her throat as he crushed his mouth into hers. Her lips were so soft, and they tasted sweet, just like honey. Stephan had kissed many girls before, but this was different. He kissed her so hard as if trying to make her feel his sexual desire. It seemed to work, as Ruby slightly parted her lips, giving room for Stephan’s tongue. As he kissed her, Ruby let out a little moan that sounded inviting. Stephan picked her up and headed for the bed.He dropped her gently on the bed as if she were a fragile glass that could break. Stephan was never the gentle type when it came to sex, and so he didn’t know why he was so gentle with this little lamb.The kiss was so intense, and they were both running out of breath. Stephan pulled back a little, giving her a moment to catch her breath. He looked down at the pretty lady beneath him, and she looked all flushed. He smiled, then began to plant small kisses like a trail from her neck to the top of her breast.“Do you want to continue? We could stop if you’ve changed your mind” Stephan said looking into her eyes with deep desire“No...no...don’t stop,” Ruby replied, almost in a whisper. She was not a virgin, but she didn’t know what was going on. This stranger makes her feel things in a way she has never felt before.Stephan took this as an invitation to devour this little lamb. He stripped her and himself naked as quickly as possible. He couldn’t hold himself anymore; he wanted her so badly and his hard member was making it hard for him to stay composed. He laid in between her thighs, with his hard shaft pressing against her core.He played with her nipple for a while before taking it into his mouth. He sucked so hard while his hand was still playing with the other one, rubbing it between his two fingers. Stephan could feel her nipples harden, so he kept stroking it as he gently bit it.“Ah...Fuck...uhm” A moan escaped from Ruby. Stephan kept sucking, licking and biting. This made Ruby go wild with pleasure. His hand moved from her breast and began skimming down to her core. Her skin was so soft and her body scent was intoxicating. Stephan hand was greeted by the overflow juice dripping out of her core, she was so wet and ready for his hard shaft, but instead of the shaft, he slid in his middle finger and began to finger her slowly increasing the pace gradually. Ruby couldn’t help but grip the bedsheet with her eyes closed and her feet curled, she made a sound that was so seductive. After fingering Ruby for a while, Stephan got on his knees. He looked at her pink juicy core and it was so inviting, he licked the outer part and then used his hand to spread it open. He began making circles with his tongue. Ruby was over the moon. She was about to hit climax but she didn’t want it to end, she tried her best to prolong it but couldn’t and with a little cry she reached orgasm.Stephan licked every juice flowing from her core, cleaning her with his tongue and making her horny again.Ah....don’t...Ah”. Ruby couldn’t string a simple sentence. When she thought she couldn’t handle any more pleasure, he inserted his hard shaft. He rammed it in at one thrust pushing Ruby to the edge. Ruby soft, wet, juicy, tight walls clasped around Stephan's shaft.Hum...Ah...fuck”. He moaned but didn’t move, giving Ruby time to adapt to his shaft inside her. Ruby moved her hips a little trying to get comfortable with his cock in her. He was so huge, stretching her walls to fit. Stephan starts thrusting, gradually picking pace with every thrust.“Oh...Ah...don’t stop” Ruby whispered digging her fingers into Stephan’s skin and making him groan with desire. Stephan kissed her, she clinched tightly to Stephan as he increased the pace taking both of them to the peak. Ruby trembled and exploded and with a final thrust, Stephan exploded his seed inside her.Stephan withdrew his cock and proceeded to the bathroom to clean up. He turned on the shower and let the flow from his head. While in the shower, it dawned on him that they didn’t use protection. He got out of the shower, grabbed a towel and walked back into the room only to find the little lamb fast asleep.Ruby had never had this much sexual pleasure and her body was so weak from the whole marathon, she knew she had to clean up but she was too weak to get up and in no time, she dozed off to dreamland.“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!” Ruby was woken up by the ringing telecom beside the bed. She struggled to get up from the bed, but her head ached.“Where am I?” Ruby asked trying to figure out what happened last night. Gradually, the images from last night began to flash in her head. She couldn’t find the handsome stranger on the bed, so she decided to check the bathroom, but he wasn’t there. Then, it dawned on her that he had left. She walked back to the bed and found a pill with water and a note“Hangover pills...Drink me”Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The telecom kept ringing. She picked it up, and it was the receptionist.“Hello ma’am, I’m calling to let you know it's past check-out time, or would you like to extend your stay?” She asked in a polite and calm voice. Ruby knew she couldn’t afford to pay for such a place, and the stranger who brought her here had gone, so she decided to check out.Ruby stood outside the magnificent hotel building. She didn’t know anywhere in Las Vegas. How would she get home? She stared at her phone for a second, then she decided to call Naomi."Hey girl, still in bed?... Sorry for disturbing your sleep. Can you please pick me up?" she asked, feeling sorry for disturbing Naomi’s sleep but having no choice."Sure... where are you at?" Naomi asked in a sleepy voice.“Grand hotel,” Ruby replied.“Grand hotel?” Naomi asked in disbelief."Yeah, please hurry, I’m standing outside."“Okay, I will be there in ten minutes,” Naomi assured her before ending the call.Ruby couldn’t help but count down to Naomi’s arrival. She felt uncomfortable standing outside the hotel, drawing a few glances from the hotel guests going in and out. She decided to play a game on her phone to pass the time.It had past fifteen minutes since her call with Naomi. Ruby was getting uneasy and frustrated. She was about to call Naomi back when she heard a familiar voice.“Ruby, I’m
Ruby stared blankly at the kit which confirmed her pregnancy. She felt light and dizzy.“Ruby come out” Naomi shouted and banged on the door“If you don’t come out now, I’m coming in” She threatened Ruby Ruby slowly opened the bathroom door and walked past her friend like a lifeless ghost.“Ruby, what is it?” Naomi asked with concern.Ruby handled the pregnancy test kit, Naomi looked at it and was dumbfounded. Why should this be happening to her friend now that she was beginning to patch up the pieces of her life together? Is Robert the father? How should she comfort her friend? All these questions kept running through her head. “Ruby let’s talk” she said helping Ruby to a chair“Ruby I know this is hard for you but I would like to know if Robert is the father” Naomi asked tenderly “N-no he is not” Ruby replied trying so hard not to cry“Then who is the father” Naomi askedRuby stared at her trying to blink back the tears threatening to break free.“Ruby I need you to tell me who is
The day for her interview was finally here and Ruby was ready, she wanted the job more than anything in the world so she had to make a mark at today’s interview she thought. She woke up as early as five am because she felt that first impressions matter a lot. She got out of her bed, walked into the bathroom for a quick shower, turned on the faucet and let the water wash away every iota of sleep. Reaching for the towel, she dried her body and walked back to her room to get dressed. She picked up the outfit Naomi had chosen for her and laid it on her bed while she went on to dry her hair. Once she was done drying her hair, she slipped into the dress for the day. She let her hair drop and applied very light makeup, she put on her shoes and made a swirl. When she was done, she took one last glance at herself in the mirror then picked up her handbag and left the room. Naomi was setting the table when Ruby walked in“ How do I look?” Ruby asked as she made a three-sixty turn“You look beaut
Naomi played music on their ride home, the atmosphere was so jolly and the girls kept singing along. It felt like the good old days when all they had to worry about was student loans and getting good grades. Ruby was happy she got the job although it was something small at least she could afford to pay her bills and that was enough for her, she hated being absent. Naomi was happy that Ruby was finally adjusting to her new life here in Las Vegas. When they got to their apartment, the girls strode in chatting and signing. “So how do we celebrate? Should we go clubbing” Naomi asked all giddy “Clubbing again?” Ruby asked in an uninterested tone “What do you mean by clubbing again when was the last time we went clubbing?” She asked. Naomi loved going to the club, she loved the loud music, the drinks and the men. Aside from shopping, clubbing was always her perfect way of unwinding.“Well the last time I went clubbing, I got pregnant remember” Ruby replied in a sarcastic tone“Common girl
Naomi’s eyes widened at Ruby’s declaration. She knew that finding the baby daddy would not be an easy task but since Ruby has decided to keep the baby, she felt the child needs to know his origins and the father also needs to know he is about to be a father. With a reassuring smile, Naomi nodded in agreement. “No problem, Ruby,” she said softly, “I’ll help you find him. Let’s start by going through everything we know about him and trying to piece together any clues that might lead us in the right direction.”Ruby nodded feeling gratefully and confident, she was ready to face the harsh reality of her life. They settled down on the couch ready to find the mysterious baby daddy “Did you get his name?” Naomi asked “No...he didn’t tell me his name” Ruby replied feeling ashamed. "How could I have had unprotected sex with a man I know nothing about," She thoughtNaomi placed a comforting hand on Ruby’s shoulder. “It’s alright, Ruby. We’ll work with what we have. We’ll start by thinking abo
Ruby felt sceptical about going to the hotel to find the mystery man. From what she knew about the Grand Hotel, it is a very big and popular place among the high and mighty so she knew it would not be easy finding him there. She doesn’t think any organisation would willingly give out information about their high-profile clientele. A lot of questions and emotions ran through her but she decided to ask the most important question“Naomi thinking about what you’ve just said, if it is true, how would we get the VIP list?” Ruby asked the question on her mind“We could ask the receptionist, he or she might be willing to help” Naomi revealed her plan. “And if it doesn’t work?” Ruby was already feeling downtrodden. The Vips of most organisations were highly respected and confidential and with a hotel as classy and upscale as Grand Hotel, she doubted if they could get the list.“Well there is no harm in trying, if it doesn’t work we will devise another means to get the list” Naomi said with de
Monday eventually came, it was Ruby’s first day at her new job and she wanted to make a good impact. She woke up earlier than normal and quickly got ready for work. Naomi had made breakfast but she wasn’t feeling up to it as she was feeling too excited to be hungry. She couldn’t even wait for Naomi to get ready, she took a cab to workToday initiated the beginning of a new chapter in her life, with a confident stride, she walked into the office. Ruby put on her sweetest and polite smile as she exchanged pleasantries with her colleagues. She settled into her workspace which happened to be a small cubicle outside Mr Trainor’s office, a stack of files awaited her attention. She wasted no time delving into them carefully reviewing every detail, creating a to-do list for Mr Trainor and then deciding to build his schedule for the week to ensure everything was ready for his upcoming meetings.Ruby felt a sense of determination as she worked relentlessly, ticking off tasks one after the other
Naomi embraced Ruby back firmly, offering a sense of comfort and support that Ruby eagerly needed at that moment. The weight of her heartbreak, mixed with the understanding that she would be raising her child alone, was almost too much to endure. But in Naomi’s arms, Ruby found comfort.“You’re right,” Ruby finally said in a very low tone, her voice shaking slightly. “We are in this together. I don’t know what I would do in your absence.”Naomi pulled away mildly to look into Ruby’s eyes. “And I don’t know what I would’ve done without you either,” she replied softly. “We’re a team, Ruby. No matter what happens, we’ll face it together as a team.”Ruby managed a feeble smile, feeling a shimmer of hope flash within her. With Naomi beside her, she knew she could traverse the difficulties that lay ahead. She couldn’t change the past or the scenarios that brought her here, but she could regulate her life moving forward.Inhaling deeply, Ruby adjusted her back and wiped away the tears
Stephan ignored their surprised look and went over to Ruby. He helped her clean up and took her to the room. “Stephan what are you doing here and how did you become the stripper Naomi hired?” she asked once she was settled. “I will explain later, for now, you need to get yourself checked by a doctor”“Stephan don’t be dramatic, I’m fine” She insisted she was all right but Stephan went ahead and contacted their family doctor and asked him to come over to the penthouse. The doctor replied that he was close by and would be there in a few minutes.Naomi went back to the living room and removed David’s mask, staring at him angrily, “David, care to explain why you are the stripper at Ruby’s bachelorette party?”David was sweating nervously “Uh, well... it’s a long story. But I swear I had good intentions!” The doctor’s arrival interrupts their conversation, shifting their focus to Ruby’s well-being.Naomi directed the doctor to the room “Doctor, Ruby's in there." She said gesturing toward
Naomi promised Ruby a bachelorette party to remember and she intends to do just that. She quickly picked up her phone and began to punch numbers. Naomi pressed the call button and waited for the receiver to pick up."Hey, Rita! It's Naomi. Can you swing by my place after work? I need to talk to you about something important.""Hey, Naomi! Sure, I can drop by. Is everything okay?" Rita's voice is full of worry and her eyebrows are slightly furrowed as she thinks of what could be troubling Naomi.Yeah, everything is fine. It's just... I want to provide Ruby with an unforgettable bachelorette experience, but I need your assistance to make it happen. " Naomi's voice is filled with excitement, a sly smile emerging on her face as she discloses her secret scheme."Ooh, a surprise? I'm intrigued. Count me in! I will be there the moment I finish work." Rita's eyes brighten up with curiosity and enthusiasm, she is ready to be a part of the surprise for Ruby."Perfect, thanks, Rita. See you soon
When she got back, Ruby couldn’t stop herself from telling Naomi right away about the proposal. Overflowing with excitement, she skipped her way to her friend with the shimmering ring on her finger, she held up her hands.“Look, Naomi! Stephan proposed!” Ruby squealed, and her voice sounded really happy.Naomi’s eyes flashed with delight as she looked at the ring. “I told you!” she exclaimed, unable to contain her joy.David joined in the celebration, offering his congratulations to Stephan with a warm smile.As the initial excitement began to die down, Naomi couldn’t help but tease Ruby gently. “You know, normal people usually meet first, date, and then get engaged,” she quipped, a playful smirk on her lips.Ruby laughed, nodding in agreement. “That’s exactly what I said when he proposed” she replied, her laughter mingling with Naomi’s.Naomi’s expression turned serious for a moment. “Well, I guess that makes me your maid of honour,” she declared with a grin.Ruby’s eyes lit up with
After a few weeks in therapy, Ruby began to feel better also she began to learn how to manage her fears. Finally, the day came when her therapist cleared her, declaring her ready to face the world again.To celebrate, Stephan suggested they take a trip to the island Ruby won the ticket for at the auction. The girls were excited about the trip, Stephan began to make preparations hoping to make the trip one to never forget in a hurry, especially for the girls.“Please can I bring a plus one? I don’t want to be the third wheel on this trip” Naomi asked politely “Sure! I don’t see why you can’t” Stephan replied with a kind smileNaomi’s face lit up with excitement, “Really? That would be amazing! I would ask my friend if he can come” she exclaimed eagerly “He? A friend? Just say you want to come with your boyfriend” Ruby teased “And would that be a bad thing?” Naomi retorted “Not at all my friend. As for me, I’m definitely bringing Ethan’s nanny because I need to relax and be taken ca
Amelia went over every detail of Ethan’s whereabouts with the detectives. A team of police officers were hurriedly sent to the scene to retrieve the baby. While Stephan was asked to sit and wait, his heart was pounding with mixed feelings of anxiety and hope. Each passing moment seemed like an age as he was waiting for the update.Finally, the moment arrived. Immediately the door opened, a police officer walked in holding Ethan. Stephan was filled with joy as he made his way to them. "Thank you,” Stephan uttered in a choked voice, and his tears started falling as he hugged Ethan.The officer nodded with a little smile. “He’s safe now,” he pointed out to Stephan with a grin on his face. Stephan hugged Ethan tightly as a wave of gratitude engulfed him.As Stephan held Ethan tightly in his arms, his heart still racing with the rush of relief, a call suddenly pierced through the moment of peace. Naomi’s voice crackled through the phone, urgency evident in her tone as she relayed Ruby’s re
Stephan couldn’t sleep a wink, he was so worried and confused, he kept thinking of the possibility that someone would come into his house and kidnap his child without being seen by anyone. He wished and prayed that Ethan would be okay. Twenty-four hours after the kidnap and no call for any ransom demand has been received. He hoped they would be contacted that way they would know what the person wanted rather than keeping them in the dark.He kept tossing and turning till a new day dawned. His phone kept ringing showing an incoming call. He quickly picked up his phone in case it was a call from the kidnappers but it wasn’t. It was Amelia. With a heavy heart, he answered, trying not to sound disappointed “Hello?”“Hello? What’s going on? You don’t sound good” Amelia’s voice crackled through the line, filled with concern. “Ethan is missing,” Stephan replied, his voice trembling slightly. “We’ve searched the whole house but can’t find him.” "Oh, my goodness. When did this happen?" she
Ruby began to panic as she frantically screamed Ethan’s name, sending the domestic staff to emotional agitation. “Has anyone seen Ethan? She cried out, her voice trembling with fear. The utterly confused staff shook their heads, unsure of what was happening. With a racing heart, Ruby dashed from room to room, desperately calling out for her son, but there was no reply. Fumbling with her phone, Ruby dialled Stephan’s number, her voice trembling as she screamed, “Ethan’s missing!” Stephan was confused and before he could respond, she ended the call and dialled Naomi’s number. As Stephan attempted to call her back, the line remained dead, fuelling his growing sense of fear. He decided to call his housekeeper to find out what was really going on."Hello! What's going on at home? Ruby just called me, but I couldn't understand what she was saying," Stephan exclaimed, his voice filled with concern."Ethan is missing. We've searched the whole house, but can't find him," The housekeeper repli
As the auction drew to a close, Stephan leaned in close to Ruby, his voice a soft murmur “Congratulations, Ruby” he whispered, a warm smile lighting up his features. Ruby returned the smile. She felt grateful towards him because she could never have been able to afford to bid that high without his help. Now she is looking forward to going on a vacation with Ethan, Naomi and maybe Stephan too if he wants to. The music started playing and guests commenced dancing, some were standing in groups and discussing as Stephan offered a hand to Ruby for a dance with a smile on his face.Accepting his proposal, Ruby placed her hand on his, their hands a perfect fit as they headed to the dancing area.The both of them were dancing in perfect harmony, the rhythm of the music dictating the swaying of their respective bodies.They danced their way through the evening and suddenly everyone around became engaged with their laughter, happy for them because their happiness was clear. The dance floor sud
“What? A ball?” she began to panic, her voice trembled with urgency as she confronted Stephan. "Why are you just telling me now?" she demanded, her eyes wide with alarm. Stephan’s brows furrowed in confusion, his voice calm as he explained, "I just found out myself, Ruby."But Ruby’s hysteria only intensified as she bombarded him with questions about her appearance for the ball. “What am I going to wear? How should I style my hair? And my makeup?” she exclaimed, her voice bordering on frantic as she handed Ethan over to his nanny and rushed away.Stephan called after her, his voice gentle yet firm. “Where are you going?” he inquired, concern etched into his features. “To my room to figure out what to wear!” Ruby replied hastily, disappearing upstairs in a flurry of panic.Moments later, as Ruby frantically rummaged through her closet, a knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. Opening it, she was surprised to find Stephan standing there. “You have guests” He informed her “Me?” sh
