Ruby“Adonis…” I whispered as his arms wrapped around my waist in a comforting manner. “Hi,” he whispered back with a wide, cute smile on his face. It was a smile that melted something within me.“Was that you?” I asked.“What?”“I just heard my name on the-” My eyes narrowed at him. With a glint of mischief in his eyes, he sucked his lower lip in and hugged me closer. “It was you," I stated.“You weren’t in class today, Miss Powers,” he sternly said.“Is that why you called me? Is that why I am hugged to your chest in a store?”“Are you complaining right now?” his voice was even sterner and that caused me to look to the side out of shyness. “You still haven’t answered my question. Did you do your assignment?”“Uh… no.”“Why?” “I forgot?”Adonis tilted his head slightly so that I had no chance to look somewhere else.“Really?” he asked and I nodded. “Do you know what happens to students who do not do their assignments?”“Uh…” The answer was a clear one but my mind strongly warned ag

RubyThe piece of chicken flesh which Abby had earlier tucked into her mouth while she listened to me talk soon fell onto the floor.Without bothering to mask her true reaction, Abby asked, "Your boyfriend is Mr. Klaus?"I nodded. "His name is Adonis Klaus?" she asked. "Yes..." I replied, not sure what his name had to do with anything."That's a hot name." Her brows lifted suggestively. Whenever she does that, it means she's cooking up thoughts in her head. "Yes, it is." I got off my bed and planted my buttocks on the floor, my legs crossed comfortably. "What has that got to with anything though? I expect that you'd start saying stuff like 'He is way older than you' or 'What are you thinking Ruby? He is way older than you! ' ""What are you talking about?" Abby asked calmly. "Huh?""You like this man, don't you?""Yes, I do. But-"She cut me short. "I am certain he likes you too, I have seen him looking at you with care in his eyes. So, what's the problem?"I sighed. To me, there

RubyIt was just like any other day in the library.I was standing by a bookshelf, holding a book about Physics, my mind bothered by a particular assignment. Luckily, the library was nearly empty so I had monologues with myself and read out mathematical formulas as loudly as possible.After serving its purpose, I was set to return the bulky book to its space when I heard footsteps filled with intentions approach me.I paid no attention to it until I felt a great presence beside me. After I pushed the book into its space, I looked up and his name rolled out of my lips with ease. “Adonis?”“Hello, Ruby.” The smirk that accompanied his greeting had me narrowing my eyes."Why are you here?” I hastily asked. “We can’t be seen together, Adonis. This place is too open for us to meet.”“Who cares?”“Uh?” The tone of his voice lacked concern and because of that, my forehead wore a deep frown. “What do you mean?”He took a step closer and as I tried to keep a distance, his hand was quick enou

AdonisThere was no doubt that her Father remembered me from the last time. And I don’t recall giving that much of a first impression.For all I know, cigar scent was in the air before he arrived at the party venue and that alone would have made the man disapprove of Ruby’s connection to me.On a normal day, I wouldn’t give two fucks, but as Ruby disentangled our hands and got up abruptly, I did the same and I assumed a sober look.“Dad, what are you doing here?”“What are you doing here? Aren’t you meant to be in school?” His voice deepened on purpose and I looked to my side to see how much that affected Ruby.“Uh-”“Are you skipping classes now?” he asked sharply.“No, no.” Her hands waved in the air to refute his claim. “School is over for today.”“Hmm,” he murmured while his eyes darted in my direction. “Isn’t he the same guy I saw you with at that party?”“Uh…” Ruby looked my way briefly and I gave her an assuring nod. “Uh… yes, he is.”“Is he a student in your school?” The way h

RubyNo words exchanged, my Father and I walked into the bungalow. After assuring myself that it would be useless to take a brief rest in the living room, I made for my room but my father’s voice stopped my intended motion.“Why do I get the feeling that you are lying to me?” A shiver ran down my spine as I turned to face him. It would be rich to think so, but I think there is a possibility that he knows who Adonis is. But, my father knows or not, I was not ready to tell my Dad with my mouth who Adonis Klaus is to me.“Dad…” I bit into my lip and my eyes darted elsewhere, a motion that ensued the moment he took a step closer to me.“I am going to investigate him. You know that already. So, Ruby, it will be wise if you let me know what the deal is. Because if I find out that there’s something nasty going on, it is going to get difficult not only for you but for all of us.”A particular word of his didn’t sit right with me.“What do you mean by difficult?”My Dad crossed his arms. “I c

Ruby“So, did your Dad say anything?” Adonis asked as he entered the driver’s seat of his car after he ensured that I was wearing my seat belt. Apparently, he wouldn’t start driving unless my safety is ensured.“He asked for the truth and I almost told him. Honestly…” The car engine started. “… I would prefer if he found out from someone else. That’s better than me telling him. I don’t think I would be able to withstand the look on his face once I tell him the truth.”“But he will find out regardless. What will happen when he does?”I shrugged, my mind eager to move on to another topic.“Let’s wait till then. For now, let’s live as though gangsters aren’t after you and me. Let’s live as if my father won't nab us anytime soon. "Adonis chuckled. “I think you are the one that has a way with words. You just made me forget that my past life is haunting me for a moment.”The atmosphere became tense- well for me- because I deciphered something heavy in between his statement.“Adonis, what k

RubyAfter intense silence raided the whole room, Adonis’s shoes introduced noise into the living room.With the hefty men around us glaring at him and Maximus Xylem watching him with a smirk on his lips, Adonis's motion seemed to be a very rash move. But what can I say in this situation?All I can do was watch and hope the raid wouldn’t be successful.If it is… God knows that will be the end. I won’t see my parents again or my friends. My dream won’t get to be realised... So many things will go wrong if their raid is successful.So, with a desperate soul, I trained my eyes on Adonis who was now in front of the boss, his intent still unclear.“What do you think you are doing?” Maximus asked with slight amusement in his voice.“You can’t do this. Not here.”“Pardon?”I watched as Adonis’s hands formed into a fist. His jaws clenched and that made me more curious.“This is between you and me. Don’t drag the girl into this.”“But, she is already dragged into this. You like it or not.”“If

AdonisFor some seconds, it felt unreal. It felt as though I was doing something wrong.But there was this look in Ruby's eyes that made me push all my concerns and hesitation away.As I pinned her hands to the wall in a way that ensured our chests were touching, I felt my reasoning fly out of the room.It is just insane. The fact that one look from her makes my soul feel something different is absolutely insane. Her voice triggers me out of the deadliest thoughts, and her entire existence makes my heart thud with delight and fear.It is just crazy.And it wasn't supposed to be that way.

AdonisI resisted the urge to smile as I studied her face the moment she closed her eyes. My arms crossed and I let out a shuddering breath. I was slowly being pulled into some kind of trance, I needed to remind myself that I was not dreaming.I needed to remind myself that I should be alert, and waiting to hear her response, but I couldn’t help myself.Apart from a few times when I managed to send one of the men to check up on her, I had no particular idea of what she looked like in person. Definitely, the pictures sent did no justice to how beautifully grown she was.My head tilted as I observed her entire face. Her lips kept twitching as she delved into her thoughts. Her forehead wore some kind of frown and I realized once again how selfish it was of me to suddenly show up and ask her to choose from painful options. Options that make my heart ache as well.But I have no choice. I had to do it that way. Hopefully, she chooses to…“I have an answer,” I heard her blurt out, her soft v

RubyStepping out of the airport, my bag rolling with me as I walked towards the taxi I had flagged down, it hit me more that I was back in Manhattan on my way to see my parents and… him. And my mind became more confused.Thankfully, it was the mid-semester period and we have a one-week break which I will extend to a three-week holiday because I seriously need the break.Soon, the taxi moved and began the long journey that would lead me home.And towards Adonis Klaus.Two weeks after our unexpected reunion, I finally contacted Adonis, telling him I had an answer for him.I sounded so determined that I already had an answer but as the moving car sped and allowed some cool breeze to come my way, as I rested in the seat some more, I realised that my heart was still confused.Of course, I want to be with Adonis, I wish for nothing more. But thinking about the present only is such a short-sighted and risky thing. There is a strong need to think about how any decision I take would affect m

RubyThree years.I have been waiting for three years.Time flew past so fast while I was waiting for Adonis to show up in front of me again. While I managed to go on with my life, I always paused for some seconds to see if he was anywhere around me.He never was neither were there traces of him in his two homes.I graduated high school, took a year break before heading to the university to find out what appeals to me the most in life and now, that I am finally in the university, I am still waiting for him.At first, all I wanted was just to see if he was alive. I placed my hopes on the numerous searches embarked on by the police but, after a while, everything was futile. I watched the cops pack their bags and give up on searching for the man whose existence had become a mystery. Occasionally, I felt anger towards Adonis Klaus, but I always managed to cloud that anger with my need to see him alive.But, as three years passed, I felt anger and many more emotions. Some days I hate him,

Ruby“Did you hear that Bryan was arrested? Even Mr. Grassi! I wonder what the deal is with this school.” My ears caught the loud whispering from one of the girls who were in front of me as I dragged my feet sadly out of the last class for the day.Well, it wasn’t exactly the last period in school, but for me, who was already tired of the talks about Mr. Klaus resigning and how they miss him, I was already done with school for the day, I just wanted to go stay in a lonely place.All I want to do now is stare into the air and pray fervently for Adonis’s return.I might seem hopeless for banking on the idea that Adonis is still alive. Given the fact that it has been almost two weeks since the incident and no traces of him being has been found, my prayers seem useless.But, at the same time, traces of him being dead were yet to be found. Unlike others, evidence in form of pieces of burnt body parts belonging to Adonis has not been found.Yes, they are yet to fully get rid of the rubble,

Ruby This time, I slept for a longer period. I could tell that much as I grudgingly sat up. I was rubbing some sleep remnants off my eyes, when I felt a hand on my head, its fingers pushing back the strands of my hair in a very loving way. I know that touch! With happiness instantly overriding the sadness that had followed me into my long sleep, I fully opened my eyes and smiled widely at the man whose eyes watched me with affection. My throat felt heavy and tears threatened to come again. My eyes squinted and my forehead creased while I tried not to break into another bout of tears. But I was just so happy to see him. I was so glad that he came back to me. I was glad that my bad thoughts didn't come to pass after all. Filled with more and more emotions as seconds went by, I held onto his hand which sent soothing waves down my spine “Adonis…” I called him, my voice cracked as I couldn’t disguise the tears anymore. “Hey, Peanut.” His other hand leaned against my cheek and I rest

RubyWhile some men tended to Mark Lumber’s injury which didn’t have a good look, old man Matt circled the three hostages that were in the room. I was back on the chair, tied down as well. Adonis and Jake had been forced to kneel and some men were placed behind them. Those men watched the duo keenly as did their guns which were pointed at their heads.I sighed hard as my health situation got even worse. At intervals, my body shook, due to fear and the terrible state of my headache. At that point, my system had gotten used to the loud banging but that didn’t mean I wasn’t in pain.I was trying so hard to hide it but my entire body felt like it had been hit with a huge rock.“Where on earth are the fools that went to get the ropes?” Matt hollered as his annoying footsteps came to a halt and his eyes fell furiously on the entrance which was now destroyed thanks to the earlier exchange of bullets. “I need to make sure that these bastards don’t escape. Especially Adonis."”I’m sure they ar

Ruby I woke up from my long sleep and had a tight grip restricting my wrists and ankles. It was hard for me to move, my entire body felt like it had been pulled into sudden stillness.I finally opened my eyes which I closed to ignore the crazy headache I was still having. It had magnified its effect, and my head was practically about to burst at that point. My opened eyes made me fully aware of the dangerous situation I was in. While my nose tried to get rid of the yucky smell the strange building was oozing, I saw the number of men that were guarding the entrance that led to where I was. The strong, weapon-carrying men looked so unforgiving, it would be hard for any uninvited individual to make his way in or out peacefully.And… it would be harder for me to plot a possible escape.I sighed, my mouth feeling somewhat heavy as my entire soul felt like breaking down and crying.As I took another look around the tall building, the rusting machines surrounding me and especially at the u

AdonisIt was a Saturday evening.That meant it was a busy evening in the den. The wild party I walked into told me two things. One, a certain part of the gang wasn’t aware of the plan that involved taking Ruby. Two, the longer I stay in that environment, the more likely I was to attain an unforgivable height of anger- The kind of anger that could make one turn into a complete beast, with all sides of the face drawn into ugly wrinkles, with a voice coarser than sand, and with energy so negative, the world could turn to chaos.I don't want to be that angry. All I want to do is get the possible location of Mark Lumber or whoever the fuck kidnapped her. Then, I can spring into action.So, I hurried my steps towards the executive lounge of the hideout. As usual, the executive lounge was where the real party was always happening. There was hardly any noise but you can tell each person is having fun, one way or the other.As my eyes scanned the entire span of the room, I noticed Maximus

RubyIt happened too fast.One second, I was adjusting the towel covering my wet body while I stared at the food Adonis made for me. The next moment, glass shattered around me and these hefty men dragged me out of the apartment, ignoring my cries.It seemed like the building was empty as well. The people that heard my shouts were the security men who were mere souls in front of the tall, angry-looking men.Looking down at my chest as the jeep raced some more towards the highway, I let out a sigh. I then noticed that one of the men seated beside me had his eyes glued to my body."Listen," I started talking, my eyes furiously eyeing the pervert beside me, "I did as you said, I have not made noise since you guys kidnapped me.""We did not...""Get me some clothes before someone eye-rapes me." The tone of my voice was intentionally raised on the last statement, and my head tilted slightly towards the man on my right. The man seated beside the quiet driver let out a sigh. His hand rubbed
