A dinner date

Ruby's Pov;

So, in a nutshell, that's how Lily and Ivy ended up being my enemies and not coming to my wedding. But that isn't even the problem, the problem started when Dad informed me of Nathan's and his parents coming.

Apparently, they were coming in hope that Nathan and I would at least get to see each other before the wedding and hopefully, bond.

I didn't act sad, shocked or surprised, I simply just asked him for the day, prepared and looked forward to it.

The day eventually came and I got up early to prepare for their visit..They would be coming by evening so I have a lot of time to prepare.

We barely have any domestic staff so I had to call Diane over to help me and too good she wasn't busy.

She gladly followed me to the supermarket, mall and other places.

These are things that were supposed to be done by a mother, but the heavens decided to take mine away from me early, so I have to do this much .

How annoying!!.Who's she to him? I was so curious and quickly left the window to go finish up with my dressing.Gosh!! How come she's here?. I was so mad as the memories of that day came flooding in. Was she acting that way because she's related to Nathan?.Ahh!! Can't believe she's here.. in my house. The world is indeed a small place.I don't know who she is to Nathan but they look quite close and I knew without a doubt that she would be trouble for me.There's no way she would have forgotten about that day, just as I haven't. Let's just hope she will keep her mouth shut, at least until dinner is over.I added a little lipgloss to my lips before stepping out of the room.I wanted to stay in a little while longer but I knew it was rude to keep the guests waiting. My father raised me better than than.

What's going on here?" she asked us again, walking closer this time.I scoffed and went back to the bed to sit, while Ella angrily storm out.Why are they in my room? I don't get it." You look angry. Don't be. Ella has always been a spoilt brat" she said with a chuckle." I'm more than ready to break her wings. She better no try any rubbish with me" I said sternly.She smiled and came to squat in front of me." I'm glad you're saying this, because you're getting married to her brother. It would do you alot of good if you will be able to handle her, but as you would already know, she's not an easy person and it's not gonna be easy" she explained.I heaved, understanding what she meant.At least, she is alot nicer and better than the so called Ella.

    Chapter 15AN IDEARuby's Pov;.I left Dad and Michael and walked to my room.I ran my mind through all that has happened.Goodness!! Why did he have to act so cold?. It's so frustrating.Dad didn't bother to call me back and ask how it went.. I'm guessing he didn't want to bother me as well.I laid on my bed, my back to the bed and my face upward, facing the ceiling.His handsome face suddenly flashed into my eyes.Woah!! Those eyes and lips. I couldn't get enough by just staring at them.He's the definition of perfection and in a way, I think he deserves to act the way he was acting.I mean, he has the looks, charisma, character, money, fame and all.Phew!! What a life.How could only one person end up with such things?.I turned slightly to the beeping of my phone.It got me distracted from my thoughts and I had to quickly go pick it up when it started ringing for the second time." Hey!" I cooed into the phone without even checking who it was." Hey baby girl!!" her voice loud eno

    Chapter 16WEDDINGRuby's Pov;I stared at my reflection in the mirror for the one thousandth time. Yeah, I was dropped dead beautiful - I knew it and needed no one to tell me.Any other girl would be over the moon on a day like this, but not the girl standing in front of a mirror right then...not me. I was nowhere close to being excited, talkless of happy.I reflected on the happenings again and thought if all this was really happening. I felt nausea build up in my stomach and my adrenaline arched up like a thick muscle.Staring at the flawless, beautifully decorated white dress, which had some extras measuring a few metres, my neck was adored with jewelries of various types and kinds, my hair was decorated with beautiful ornaments, my wrist with bracelets, gold chains and fingers with diamond rings and the like.My feet weren't left out, it was graced with the most beautiful, sparkling silver heel I have ever seen.I looked like a queen, I smelled like a queen and I felt like a que

The meal was delicious and I enjoyed every bit of it.I was now fully energized and would surely have all the energy to give Nathan a piece of my mind.Thoughts of school flooded my mind. We were to resume the next day, and I was so far away.Goodness!!.I got up from the chair, my stomach so much that I feared I would be able to take anything again for that day.I walked to the sitting room, taking a position on the couch I was seated on before.I picked up the remote control, and started searching through the channels for a good programme to watch and relieve myself.I have to say, this has got to be the weirdest honeymoon in history. Can't believe I'm sitting here all by myself and the funny thing is I don't even know the whereabouts of my so-called husband.When he left or when he's coming back is completely unknown to me." Would you like anything else ma'am?" the maid from earlie

Sign it" he commanded, taking out a pen from his pocket.He really came prepared for this."And why should I? What's this by the way?" I asked angrily, my heart thumping hard against my chest." I thought you're still in school. Can't you read or what?" he growled." I..."" I'll go straight to the point" he cut me off, snapping the paper out of my palm." I know we both don't want this marriage - we were just forced into it, so I see no reason why we should suffer ourselves over it" he said, already seated.I was still standing and all I could do was stare at him.I dare not glare, I know better than that. The mere sight of this man scared me so much. I don't have an older brother, so I don't know how I was feeling.Was it fear or respect, or anger? I

Yeah, I was late but there was no need to rush. It's not like anyone's going to punish me.Woah!! I giggled as we got close to the school gate.How I've missed being here?.To be honest, I don't really know the reason I was smiling so much.I guess it's because of what transpired earlier on.FEW HOURS BACK.I stood gloomily in the mirror, checking out my dress.I had woken up with a slight migraine and felt sluggish.The feeling of excitement I thought I should be having about going to school wasn't there.I didn't know it would be as bad as this - the marriage I mean. Guess I have to prepare for the worst things to come." All done" I turned to Lara who had been there for a while now.

I didn't wait for the driver to come get the door for me.As soon as I did, the students started murmuring and whispering to themselves indistinctively.I walked majestically amidst them and could hear what some of them were saying.* Woah!

I wish I were in her shoes*.These and many more I heard and they all made me smile. I was feeling so proud for the first time, until I heard one girl say something." Isn't she supposed to be in her honeymoon?*.She asked and that made me halt.They all seem to agree with her and started discussing about it, giving me questionable

His scent filled my nose and his hands were all over him.He soon stopped kissing me and took his left hand in between my thighs, stroking it slowly.I let out a soft moan as he used his index finger to trail up and down my thigh.It was heavenly and I bit my tongue in pleasure.I shut my eyes tight, my hands still wrapped around his neck.He gently let go of my hand and took his head down. He brought it to my thighs and placed it there.I shivered at the hot air that escaped from his mouth to my thigh.I grabbed the bed sheet immediately and he started using his tongue to graze my skin.It was torture. He was torturing me, so much, but I loved every bit of it.Why? Why do I love it?.I felt this hot air in my t

It traced and followed every movement I made.He suddenly stretched out his hand to mine and pulled me up gently.He came closer and placed a pillow at my back in support." Hey!" he sat back and said.I fiddled with my fingers, staring down at them.He used his fingers to lift up my chin and stared into my eyes." How are you feeling?" he asked calmly.I couldn't tell what time of the day it was.To be honest, I was still feeling weak and dizzy...maybe I didn't sleep enough.The door creaked open and a maid walked in.I looked around to see I was in my room at the mansion.A disappointed look appeared on my face as I was expecting him to take me to the penthouse.She dropped a

Let's go home!" he said softly and led me to the car, holding my wrist.He opened the car door and I got in.FEW HOURS AGO" What do you mean you still haven't found her? What did I pay you that huge amount of money for?" Nathan growled into the phone." Boss...boss!!" he heard someone call from the other end."

They were so strong and huge.She wondered if that's how her life is gonna end.Her driver shivered in panic, looking lost and confused.The highway was empty and quiet and there were few passerbys and therefore, few witnesses." We are here" Nathan's driver announced.Nathan brought up his heart from his phone to see it was true." Go in and c

I thought something bad had happened."Your husband is the best in the world. Imagine funding his wife's school trip. Awnn!! How sweet!!" Diane whirled and danced around romantically, making me shake my head for her.She was acting like a drama queen right now and it was making me sick." Can you snap out of it and let's go to class?" I told her and started walking away." Hey, wait up!" she yelled after me, running.She finally caught up and we walked in together.I paused at the door in shock, staring face to face into those deep blue eyes...just like his brother's.I was taken aback for a while and quickly had to snap out of it and walk behind Diane quickly before she would notice.I

What...what are you doing?" I asked in astonishment.Is he trying to kid me right now? What the hell is happening?." Will you get off of me? What the fuck do you think you're trying to do right now?" I yelled to his face, summoning up enough strength and courage to pull away from him, but his hold on me was way too strong." Get the fuck away from me!!" I yelled to his face but he was unyielding." A minute...just a minute. Let's stay like this for a minute" he cooed, touching my face.I felt disgusted by it and slapped his hands off." Get away from me!!" I yelled and finally got out of his hold, after much wrestling.I was breathing heavily." What was that? Are you insane?" I rasped in anger and disbelief.I can't believe this!!."

Hey!" a voice cooed behind me.I turned to see Louis.He smiled and started walking closer." Hey!" I said back, taking my gaze to the floor." You woke up late, huh?" he said, taking a seat close to me." How are you? Hope you've adjusted well?" I asked, trying to be friendly." Yeah!" he said."

She still felt like something was wrong somewhere. She glanced over at Nathan's side. He was still busy...taking calls here and there.It was night already and they were just going home. She was so tired and didn't know when she fell asleep.Nathan parked for a while to adjust her sleeping position. They still had quite a distance to cover and sleeping like that would hurt her neck.He pushed her hair to the back of her ear and gazed into her eyes, a smile formed at the corners of his lips.He doesn't know what's funny or why he was acting like that but he quickly got back to his senses and hit the road immediately.He stole glances at her at intervals.They soon got home and he carried her all the way to her room, careful not to wake her up."
