“What do you think, Stanley?” Johnny asked when they got back into the car.“The Ruby I know can't have anything to do with that old man.” Stanley pointed out.“Before she met me with Crystal, yes. But now, I must have pushed her into multiple affairs.”“Stop that. You're being too hard on yourself. She has forgiven you. Have you asked yourself why she gave you a call at once?”At that point, Johnny, who did not wish to have a taste of his medicine, was at a loss for words. Then Stanley carried on with his counseling.“I don't want you to have a problem with your health because it will affect many people. Your dad is not happy with your look, and I just noticed it.”Now, he gave Stanley a puzzled look before he inquired, “Am I truly emaciated?”“Yes, and it won't tell good on you. Be strong. The baby needs you now?”On hearing that the baby needed him, he became stronger and smiled softly.“Thank you, Stanley. I will endeavor to push everything behind and work towards the success of m
They walked into the house and met the girls watching the rebroadcast of the news of the long queue at the school gate, and they greeted, “Welcome back.”They felt like family men, who returned from work and were welcomed by their wives.“Thank you. Have you had anything?” Johnny asked, and took his seat beside Ruby. “Yes. I took one of the fruit juice you bought. It is so nice.”“Really! I'm happy that you love it. We will get more if the doctor says it is good for you.”“It is okay.”Thereafter, Stanley walked into the room and Carmine followed him.At the Stewart VillaAfter Lady Mitchell left her son's hostel, she returned to the administrative block and joined her husband. Nevertheless, they concluded that Ruby should leave the female hostel at once and get accommodation at the special hostel. Sir Stewart paid three years rent for the hostel, considering the number of years she would spend in the school.“Thank you, Sir Stewart. I will personally see that the apartment is ready a
At that point, Johnny felt stronger and aroused too. Before he could respond, she had covered his lips with her mouth and Johnny observed that all her sex moves were the acts that he taught her and was convinced that there was no other man. But her entanglement with the Vice Chancellor, still bothered him.“I'm glad to hear that,” he responded with glee.Before the supplement lured them to sleep, they had pleasured each other several times. Then, Ruby slept on his shoulder, and when he was certain that she was fast asleep, he picked her phone and went through her messages. He was surprised that he had many opponents. Likewise, he was not surprised when he saw Princevile's message because he warned him. (We are still waiting. We know it won't be long, you will drop her.)(You can't be too sure. And you may wait for eternity.)“So Princevile meant it?” He asked himself after he reminisced the discussion he had with Princevile before the fall-out with Ruby. He checked other messages, esp
At Hayes' ApartmentIt had been two months since he met Johnny, and he admired him so much. Although, he met Stanley through him, but they have blended as if they had known each other for a long time.“Johnny will soon be a father through Lil Sister,” he mumbled. Little sister was the pet name that he gave to Ruby the day she graciously sat in the front seat of his car after the basket ball game. Although, he was an orphan and a self-made man, who took up the challenges of sponsoring his education by himself. Now, he had graduated and went into livestock farming with his little savings. At that moment, his new company was going through its teething troubles, but he was managing it very well. Likewise, he believed that in a while, he would scale through the hurdles. That evening, after the outing with Johnny, Stanley, and the others, he returned to his one studio flat and meditated on his unsteady relationships.'Why am I not favored in relationships? Do the girls I meet have anything
“It's all right. Hurry so that you won't be late for your lectures,” The VC accepted, and walked briskly to his car while she joined her friends. Meanwhile, she was unaware of the war that was going on in Johnny's mind, but his anger bled into his countenance.“I apologize for keeping you waiting,” she said, and looked at the couple in the back. Then, she gave Johnny a love look, and pleaded, “Don't be mad at me, my Johnny. I apologize.” Johnny returned the love look, but for a different reason. He searched her for any sign of peck or kiss, and he was elated when he found none. Then, he gave her a peck, and turned on his ignition. Thereafter, he inquired, “Are you through with Prof. Farrell?”“No. He is taking me to the estate for the arrangement he made for me,” Ruby pointed out, and omitted that it was from her adoptive parents. Now, Johnny looked at Stanley through the driving mirror, and saw the sad look on his face. To avoid suspicion, Stanley advised, “We should not keep the VC
At that point, she was resting her head on his lap, and facing him. Then, he smiled, and asked, “Why. What is your offense?”“I should have let you know that Prof. Farrell stood in the place of a parent for me.”“I see. It's not your fault. The bickering we had now and then did not allow us to discuss extensively about us.”“I got you. No more bickering. I guess?”“You are right. We should be stable enough to take care of our love baby.”“I love that. Promise me that will you stop emaciating.”Now Johnny showed worries, and asked, “Is it too obvious?”“Not at all. But I wish to see your old self.”“It is okay. I will submit my project tomorrow, and take enough rest.”“That is better,” she accepted, and got up from his lap, and began to adjust her hair, “Take it,” he announced. She turned swiftly, and to her delight, he gave her a hot kiss. Thereafter, he said, “I love you, my Ruby.”“I love you too,” she responded, and he got off the car, walked to the passenger's side and opened the
"We need to return to the hostel,” Carmine, who was interested in Ruby's big gist for her, declared after their meal.Now, Johnny was jumpy, and many negative thoughts ran through his mind, especially Ruby's safety. He looked at her, and she noticed that he was a little uneasy. Then, she consoled, “I will only pick a few things, and come back.”“It is all right,” he responded with relief. Then, he picked his car keys, and tried to get up, but Ruby stopped him.“You need rest, my dear. The multivitamin drugs that you just took will soon take a toll on you.”“Ruby is right. I will take them to the hostel, while you rest,” Stanley made himself available, and Johnny admitted, “If you say, so.”Now, they walked out of the house, and Johnny stood aside and watched them get into Stanley's, car. He waved at them, and watched them drive off. When they were out of sight, he returned to the house. Now, he felt empty, and the idea of getting married at once crossed his mind, and he smiled at the t
"I don't think it's necessary. When they are through, they would give me a call.”“Through with what, if I may ask? She said they would only pick a few things, and come back immediately,” Johnny reminded him, and got up at once. Meanwhile, Stanley was concerned, “Where are you going?” He asked.“To look for them. It is not safe for Ruby to be moving about. She could be attacked, and you know what it means,” Johnny poured out, and walked out of his room. Now, Stanley was frightened by his revelation, so, he gave Carmine a call instantly.“Hello, baby,” she greeted after she picked.“Can I come and pick you, if you are through with what you are doing in the hostel?”“You can come over. We are at Ruby's house in the estate,” Carmine explained without considering the weight of their act on him.At that point, Stanley was distraught. He had not come to terms with the Vice Chancellor arranging for accommodation for Ruby, even if he stood in place of her parents.“Could it be part of the scho
