Dinner tonight was just with Summer, Spring, and Ruby, as Cameron had told her he wasn't coming home early tonight.

“Where’s Daddy?” that had been the first question Spring asked when she came down for dinner.

“He's going to be late tonight. Just sit down to eat your dinner so that you can go to bed early.” She said.

“But I want to wait for Daddy.” She said, pushing out her bottom lip in a pout. "He has to read me a bedtime story.” She said.

Ruby sighed with a shake of her head. "No, Spring. You can't wait up for him. It's a school night. I'll read you a story.” She said, promising her.

“But why is he staying out late?” she asked, still not satisfied. Ruby wished she knew the answer to that because when he told her he would be coming home late, he had only told her that she shouldn't wait up. He had not really told her anything about why he would be doing that. Perhaps, he was going to be staying late at work.

She lifted her shoulder in a shrug. "I guess he has plenty of work to

    It was about midnight before Cameron parked his car in front of his house and got out the key. He had told his driver to go home without him when he realized he would be taking long more than necessary. He was a family man that had to go home to his wife and kids. Not everyone should work like he does, burying himself into work and doing it as if his life depended on it. Actually, more than his life depended on how well he succeeded and how much he made, because of the employees that worked for him, with families of their own they had to take care of. So, basically, a whole lot of lives depended on it all. Sighing, he bite his lower lip and got out of the car, and walked around to the other side. He realized that everywhere in the neighborhood was quiet, and his house looked sleeping as well. He had told Ruby he would be back late so he knew everyone would have gone to bed. He grabbed his bag out of the passenger's seat and closed the door, locking it, before proceeding to go into

    "Okay," she nodded her head, and started to walk away from him, but he grabbed her arm to stop her, and then he pulled her back. He rested his head against her head so suddenly and unexpectedly that she gasped. “Let me stay like this for a minute.” He said, shocking her even more. "You smell so nice, Ruby.” He whispered but she heard him. What should see she make of this? Why was the almighty cold man embracing her, or needing to stand like this for? What meaning was she supposed to read into this? “Is everything all right? Do you want to talk about it?” she asked, slowly. Cameron smiled and gave a small nod against her shoulder. He wasn't sure how she did it, but she had gotten to know something was wrong. He had tried to keep it off his mind as he came home because he hated bringing the problems he faced at work home. His company might be a multimillionaire company but they faced problems sometimes that they wouldn't be able to solve immediately. He had stayed late at work beca

    “Ruby, I had a dream.” That was the first thing Spring said when she went to her room to wake her up and get her ready for school. She frowned at her and said. "Okay!” she removed the blanket from her body and pulled her into a sitting position. "So what's the dream about?” she asked her. "Can you tell me?”Spring nodded her head in agreement to do so. "I saw Daddy getting married.” She said, pausing to look up at Ruby. Ruby's eyes widened and then she reduced the glare of her eyes back to normal. What was Spring talking about? Her father got married in her dream. Well, wasn't that surprising? She wondered who the bride was. Was it possible that he was already making that kind of plan with anyone? "Wow, that's a great news, isn't it?” she asked even though she didn't believe what she had just said. She knew it was just a small girl's dream, and not a reality, but she couldn't help but feel a sudden pang in her chest.Spring nodded her head with a smile on her face. "Yes, Ruby. I'm

    Cameron didn't eventually eat breakfast with the kids because he had to take a quick call, Ruby decided to cook him something and take it to his work. She would go to the hospital to see Olivia and Liam to see how they were and go pick up the kids after. But first, she needed to be sure no one else is scheduled to pick them up because she wouldn't want to run into anyone again this time. She made pasta with marinara sauce and chicken and then packed a lunch box with hot coffee in a thermos and bottled water. She got out of the house and walked to the waiting cab. This wasn't her job, and most might think it was because of her attraction to her boss, but they had nothing to do with one another. She was only doing this because she wanted to. After she told the taxi man where she needed to go, she settled down against the seat with her phone in hand to text Olivia she would be coming over to the hospital. She would definitely see the children at the children’s ward. It's been a while

    “What is it to you? Why do you care I said our boss was kissing someone some days ago?” Shelly asked Ruby and she thought of what to say to cover up her attitude. She definitely didn't mean to exclaim that way, but she had. “Oh, I'm just surprised. I definitely heard the same thing about him liking men, so I was just surprised.” She said. The woman looked at her with her eyes squinted, and Evelyn looked at her as if she was about to say something but then decided against it. “Well, I don't think that's true,” she said instead and Ruby froze. She didn't believe her? Was she that bad at telling lies or she had an expression on her face that gave her away? “I don't believe he likes men or anything like that. He's just reserved.” She said and Ruby blew out a relieved breath. Evelyn looked at Shelly again and asked. "So tell me, did you see the woman’s face? Did you hear what they talked about?” she asked. These people were too interested in their boss’s life, but she couldn't blame t

    Ruby frowned, surprised that he was not denying it like she expected him to. But, she knew he wouldn't be able to because it had something to do with the meeting he had just had with them and what he had told her that night. What surprised her even more, was the fact that he was acting to it. He didn't have to, the people with him, whoever they were had already believed it.“It's nice to meet you, Ruby.” One of the men said. "I see you brought him lunch. This is really good, and I think the show of stability is enough for us to reschedule and discuss the term of the contract.” Cameron looked from Ruby to Mr. Mackenzie, as he talked about talking about the term of the contract. This deal was a multimillion deal, and Ruby’s decision to bring him lunch had given it to him. Mrs. Brandy nodded in agreement. "I guess we're going to be seeing more of one another.” She said. This was surprising. This morning when the meeting started, they had made their point clear about not wanting to do

    "You!" she said, then her eyes widened. She must have meant to say that in her head, Cameron thought, but that didn't matter now. “Sorry, what?” he asked, hoping she would confirm what she knew she had heard before, but instead she shook her head. “You know that's none of your business. That was what I was going to say.” She said. Cameron squinted his eyes as he looked down at her, trying to see what was going on in her head and if she was telling the truth, but nothing came. Why was this woman this hard to read when she was this simple? “What do you mean it's not my business?” he asked. They were still yelling at each other and he had his hands beside him and clenched in fists because he was trying to prevent himself from grabbing her and pulling her to him or something. “Because it's not sir.” She said. “Stop calling me that, Ruby. My name is Cameron.” She said. “Okay, Mr. MacMillan.” She said. Was she trying to rile him up or what? "Just Cameron, Ruby. Cameron.” He said.

    “What?” Was he trying to play pranks on her? Was that some kind of joke? What the hell was he talking about? “I was there at the restaurant. My family was upstairs for dinner and I arrived while he was yelling about your clothes. I had gotten the feeling to come to punch the hell out of him, but I was with my kids and couldn't do that.” He said. “Holy shit!” Ruby whispered. She couldn't believe that her boss had seen her in such an embarrassing situation. Maybe he had recognized her the first time they met and that was why he didn't want her, but that didn't sound like it. It didn't make any sense. As if he heard her thoughts, he said. "I didn't even see your face or anything, but I knew you didn't deserve how the ass was treating you. He had no right to embarrass you that way.” Ruby agreed with a nod, but at the time, she couldn't do anything. She had only said what she thought was right, and she had gone home to cry. But, thinking about it now, she wondered why he was so inter

    Closing the door behind her, she turned to see something on her bed and she stopped in her stride, squinting her eyes to determine what it could be. She had left nothing at all on her bed when she left it this morning, so it could only be from one person, and that was Cameron. This must be what he meant when he said something about the gift he was preparing. With a small smile on her face, she walked to the bed to take a closer look at whatever it was. She definitely knew that she was going to have to thank him when he got back from work. This was really nice, she thought even though she hadn't seen it yet. The package was wrapped in a gift box with a ribbon tied in a bow at the top. Slowly, she sat down beside it and opened it, unwrapping the wrapper after getting rid of the bow. This was making her feel like she was a little girl on a Christmas morning, unwrapping a gift she had been expecting from her father. She finally got the wrapper off the box and with a sigh, she opened t

    When Davey came into the kitchen, he took Summer out and back to her room by picking her up and Ruby turned towards Cameron. He had gone upstairs after she was done with breakfast to have his bath. He said he had a meeting at the office to attend to. He still hadn't wished her a happy birthday, but she guessed he must have forgotten about it because she had only mentioned it once. She would be sure to remind him after this one, so he doesn't forget anymore that easily. She definitely still stood by her word on not caring about that because she was grateful that she could spend it around people she loved and that loved her, and that was enough. At this point, all she wanted to do was have fun with the kids, call Olivia, and then make great food for lunch and dinner, even if it meant that she would stress herself out to achieve that. Cameron was wearing a dark sunglasses that hid his beautiful eyes from her but the rest of him looked as gorgeous. The dark brown suit hugged hid body p

    Summer picked up the book she left in the living room and she walked back to the kitchen to sit with Spring, as Ruby made lunch. She would be going out soon because it was her birthday tomorrow, and she was planning to get some things to prepare for it. “Stop pulling that, Spring. Leave your sister alone.” She said when she saw Spring pulling at Summer’s book. He loved to pick on her sometimes like that, but she was always there to stop him. Spring laughed. "I was just messing with her, but she's a crybaby.” He said as Summer’s eyes started to water with tears. Ruby smiled and shook her head, then she begged Summer and told her not to cry. It was all she could do not to send them both out of the kitchen. They were really distracting her, and she needed to get the lunch done on time if she wanted to get going soon. “I’ll tell Daddy once he's back.” Summer said. Spring raised his shoulder in a single shrug as if he didn’t care who she told. The boy was growing so fast every day th

    Olivia grabbed her purse from the kitchen counter, and then her keys from the small table in the living room, ready to head out for a shift at the hospital. She had rejected Liam’s offer to come to pick her up on his way to work as well. Although, she was a bit tired and sleepy, but she had to drive to the hospital because she would be going to the police station to meet Ruby. They had submitted the evidence to the police and Roy had been taken in for questioning.It was another sweltering day and her thick scrubs are not taking the high temperatures into concern at all, making her wish she could stay inside with the air conditioner at full blast. But seeing as she couldn't do that, she started to go out of the apartment, and got to the front door, opening it to step outside.She had barely made it out her front door and she was already feeling the heat welcoming her. Thankfully, her car had an air conditioner, but the only disadvantage was that she couldn't turn it on for long. She

    Cameron reached out his hands to grab her before she meet the floor, and then he bent from his waist to grab her behind her knees. Grabbing her, he hoisted her up and into his arms. “Just don't struggle if you don't want your towel to fall off. Or you could, because I'll get to see you like I've been wanting since like forever.” He said, and Ruby stopped squirming in his arms immediately, settling. He walked to the bed and sat down, settling her against his lap, and holding her there, with her butt firmly against his crotch. He groaned at when she squirmed against him, and then she stopped. Ruby realized he was semi hard against her, and she wondered how that was what was in his mind when he had only come in to talk. But then again, he was a man with blood running through his vein, so she understood he would be aroused by being this close to him. She was, after all, aroused too, as she felt her nipples tighten into hard little rocks, and the junction of her thigh tightened in pain.

    She waited there, waiting for Davey to come to get the door as she pressed the doorbell, but when the door ripped open, it was someone unexpected that opened it. Cameron!But, it wasn't entirely strange that he was the one that answered the door, after all, it was his house. She started up at him for a long moment, actually, she wasn't sure how long she had stood there staring at him, but when he cleared his throat, she snapped herself out of the daze she had been in. The truth was not that she didn’t know what to say as she watched him, but the fact that she realized at that moment how much she had missed him and how much she had wanted to see him. She had not even realized it sooner until that moment. His beauty, just as he looked on at her, his elegance, as he stood there, his stance, and the way the light behind him in the hallway, made him look even better than he was. Not that he wasn't handsome or anything though. There was something about seeing a man one was in love with

    “Dad, ask your wife why she did all that. Please do, because I'm on a very thin line with withholding my anger here.” Cameron said as he looked from his mother to his father. He was really angry. He had waited until Gomez gave him all the proofs to take to her before coming over to confront her. Although he hadn't done anything wrong, he had to shoulder the responsibility for what her actions had caused, and the hate directed towards him by Ruby, a woman he was madly in love with. "What are you doing here, Cam?” Sarah asked behind him. They had talked about this, and she had begged him not to cause a scene, but he just couldn't. It wasn't something he could do. "You should go home and leave Mom. You look really exhausted." She said, observing him.Cameron wanted to roll his eyes because he knew she was only saying that to make him leave and stop yelling at their mother like that. Well, he didn't mean to be disrespectful, but he just couldn't stay quiet any longer. “Stay out of this,

    When the phone rang, Ruby was sitting in the living room back at home with Olivia sitting on the couch in front of her. She was telling her about how many times Cameron had called her just to speak with her. She picked up her phone and frowned down at it, not sure she wanted to pick up a call from a strange number. For all she knew, it could be Cameron, but then again, this wasn't his number. She would have recognized it if it was, as she had it memorized. Besides, she knew he wouldn't call her again after he had done it several times but she hadn't picked it up. “Who’s that?” Olivia asked and Ruby lifted her shoulder in a shrug. “I don't know who it is.” She said. She wasn't a psychic so she couldn't possibly know who was calling her. Olivia was convinced it might be Cameron though, because of the look in her eyes. She was even more angry than she was, on her behalf, she would say every time they talked about it. “Then you won't if you don't pick it up. You can drop your phone a

    It's been a solid hour since Cameron sat outside the hospital in the garden with his hand in his pocket and a lot going through his head. He had left the room and come out here when Ruby told him to leave because she didn't want to see him yet, whatever that meant. She was probably blaming him, but that was fine. He was blaming himself as well. It didn't help matters that his family was here; his mother and father, Davey must have called them. He said there in silence, when though his phone buzzed in his pocket for a while now. Someone had been calling him about fifteen minutes after he came out but he had refused to get his phone out of his pocket or pick it up. It was of no use right now, not when the woman he was madly in love with was in this state, and not when she had walked him out.Soon, he heard the rustling of a person’s footsteps behind him, but this was a public place, so it could be anyone, but when the person stopped at his back, he knew they were there for him. “Cam
