Jones POV

"Ruby!"  I yelled out her name but she ignored me walking away angrily. I definitely know how she can be when she is angry. I ran following her till I was able to get a hold of her hand.

"Calm down baby geez" I said trying to sound as apologetic as I can

"Get your damn hand away from me Jones" she snapped grabbing her hand away from my grip. She is way too upset with me.

"Who do you think you are huh? What exactly do you take me for?" She was looking at me with those cute green eyes filled with anger and I think love. Don't blame me, she is mad at me but she is also madly in love with me.

"Baby please" I put my palms together pleading. "I am so so so sorry okay? I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Just don't...

"Don't give me shit Jones" she cut me off. I sighed.

"We haven't seen each other for the pasted damn weeks. I agreed to this freaking date thinking that you will do better but yet you made it worse by coming late?!

Do you think am a ball or something you can play with any time you want?" She was furious. I don't like seeing her like this. She's that one person apart from my parents that get to shut me down.

"No baby you are not like that okay? I am sorry for coming late and am so sorry for not..."

"Look Jones," she raised her right hand at me

"If you are fade up with this" she gestured both of us with her hand. "With us, you let me know so we can go our separate ways. Seriously this is not what I signed up for!"

"Come on sugar don't say that. I can never be fade up with you" I moved closer to her

"With this our beautiful relationship" I kissed her cheek. She moved away a bit from me and there I knew that I have to try harder.

"I am sorry. I really am okay? I have been having meetings for the pasted weeks. It took all my time. I didn't even have time for myself!" I emphasized. She was looking at anywhere but me.

I sighed

I moved closer to her and hold her hand

"Please baby am sorry"

"You had meetings." She turned and faced me. I nodded yes. "Aren't you the CEO?" I sighed " You are the freaking CEO you have the power to cancel the meetings and attend to your woman! But no, you decide to attend all your damn meetings. I don't..." She raised her two hands to the air, looked away and then to me "Am I even important to you?"

"Of course you are baby. You are more then important. You know I love you so much. Your happiness is my priority"

"Then make me happy."

I sighed

"All I want is you Jones. Do you know how it was for me during those freaking weeks without you?"

I held her by her waist tightly looking straight into her eyes. I could see the pain I caused my beautiful woman. She missed me I could tell. I also missed her. I have to make her a promise.

I smiled at her and touched her cheek my right hand. She look beautiful whenever she is angry

"What are you smiling at?"

"You"

She looked away

"You are so beautiful tonight. All dressed looking sexy for me" I looked at her from her toe to her head.

She was still looking away

"I am very sorry okay? I promise you it will never happen again"

She looked at me

"Even though I have bunch of meetings I'll cancel them just to be with you. You know I love you right?"

She was silent

"Hmm?"

" I am beginning to doubt that" she rolled her eyes

"No need to doubt baby." I raised her chin will my index finger. I wanted her to look at me and quit the anger already. It's becoming frustrating.

"I do love you. You're my one and only woman. My heart and soul. My everything. I can never love any other woman the way I love you." I noticed a quick little smile that passed her face. She was still upset but this time she was faking it. I guess my hard work is succeeding.

"Come on babe... Say you forgive me."

She sighed "you are never going to break that promise of yours are you?"

"Never. I cross my heart" I made a sign with my hand on my chest.

She smiles. "God I missed you" she hugged me tightly. So glad, now aggressive Ruby is gone. Sweet Ruby is here. Gosh i don't want to ever see aggressive Ruby again.

"Me too"

She cut the hug

"You are looking good and hot tonight" she said brushing my suit.

"Forget about me. You look breathtaking." She smiled

"And threatening. Cause other guys I'm sure won't be able to resist you" I said looking around the restaurant.

"Oh please they are not worth it. They are certainly nothing" she hanged her hands around my neck. She was not that tall and not that short. She could barely reach my shoulders.

"So they did hit on you?"

"Yeah. You kept me waiting but not too worry. Ruby Williams is only for Jones Martins no body else" she smiled

I nodded liking the sound of that. "That's right you are mine"

"Yeah" she drew me down to her height and kissed me so passionately.

I started kissing her back. God I missed these sexy lips. I could stay here kissing her all day without stopping. She is my enchantment. Will  I ever get enough of her.

We parted for air and I couldn't deny that I wanted more. But I realized we were standing in the middle of the restaurant.

"Let's go to my house. I want to spend the night with you." She said caressing my face

I would love that but I'll have to inform my mum. I don't want her getting worried.

"Sure. I'll call my mum and inform her that am not coming home" I brought out my phone, about to dial the number when she stopped me.

"Seriously Jones... You want to call your mother first?"

I opened my mouth and closed, not knowing what to say to her. I know that look on her face. She don't hate my parents or something just that she doesn't like it when I inform my parents about things before I do them.

"What are you, a teenage boy? You don't have to tell her. You are a grown man okay? She will understand."

I sighed.

"I wonder why you still live with your family. Out of all the money you get from the different frames you owe in this country you still don't want to buy your own private house" She was unhappy I could see it.

I no doubt want a private house of my own but I can't because of some reasons. My family house is my house. My inheritance. I'm the only freaking son. I got sisters that will soon marry out and I got to stay there and feel it with grandchildren for my parents. But I plan to buy a penthouse with a beach at the back. It's not going to be my permanent home but a place I could go to whenever I need to think, get privacy or calm my nerves whenever mum gets to it like she usually do.

"Ruby...i'm the only son"

"And I am an only child. But I have my own mansion." She's making me see reasons. Yes she is an only child. She is the daughter of a two time mayor of this town. Her father is also rich. As rich as me. He spoil her beyond compare. People say she is a spoilt brat. A saucy bitch but i don't see her that way. To me she is cute and sweet. A bitch but my own bitch. I love her the way she is. The way she carry herself and show her high class standard. She is my perfect match. My badass woman.

"You really have to do something about the house thing" she said looking away.

I smiled.

"Sure baby" I held her waist.

"Besides am planning on buying a penthouse with a beach at the back"

"When?"

"This week"

She looked at me " That sounds great"

"Yeah. But I won't be living there permanently"

She roll her eyes at this and sighed.

"Fine. Whatever you like so far you are buying your own private house it doesn't matter how you live in it"

I kissed her lips slightly.

"We cannot be going to my house alone. We could also go to your own house" she said

"Yeah and we will be doing lots and lots of those nasty things we usually do" I said with a smirk on my face.

"Ooh.... Speaking of nasty... Why don't we go to my house and begin what do you say?" She asked in a seductive way and I know what she meant. The thought of her doing those nasty things are already turning me on. Can't wait to get to it already.

"That's a very great idea. Come on"

We left the restaurant.

I ordered my driver to take my car home. I followed Ruby in hers. We are on our way to get nasty. I have missed being with Ruby. She is just know the exact way to drive me crazy.

The woman is finding it hard to believe.I sighed "mum I didn't do anything thing illegal to get this money.

    "Please come sit" she moved to the couch as I followed her from behind. I sat opposite her."Um, here is your phone" I gave her the phone. She collected it happily."Oh dear, thank you very much. I don't know what I would have done without this phone, it has lots of important documents in it.""Well, I suggest you be careful cause there are lots of thieves around and they don't have a heart." I said and someone spoke up from the stairs."Please tell her my dear"Felicia and I looked towards the direction where the voice spoke from and I saw a lady decending the stairs.She could be up to forty to fifty or less. I couldn't say because she looked very beautiful and had a nice skin. I don't think she is that old. She also has a striking resemblance with Felicia and Jones. Must be their mother or.."Oh come on mum, it doesn't happen all the time"She is their mother. What a family of beauty in a mansion of beauties."Yeah tell me.
