“I can't believe your boss allows you to have a visitor.” That was the first thing Olivia said when Davey brought her to the kitchen where Ruby was making lunch. She had been trying to get it all ready before she came, but Olivia was a few minutes early. Ruby offered her a smile and looked at Spring where she sat on one of the high chairs for the kids around the kitchen table. “Hey, Livy.” She said, just as Spring asked her who she was. “Livy? Who’s Livy, Ruby?” the young girl asked. She was looking at Olivia with an open mouth reaction, and she couldn't blame her. Olivia was a very beautiful woman, and her shining black hair, with an innocent face like a princess, made her look like she stepped out of a fairy tale. Unlike Ruby, Olivia was beautiful by all standards. She had a very sweet aura to her, even though she was sometimes mean when she wanted to pass a message across and it was taking too long to be accepted. Chuckling, Ruby said. "Livy is my cousin, baby.” Spring looked
“So what will you do?” she asked as she dished out lunch for everyone including Olivia. “I mean, you can't just avoid him forever, you know. You have to call him and talk to him.” She paused, licking her index finger when the hot sauce drop on it. "Or better yet, wait for him here and talk to him, if you don't want to do it alone.” She said. Olivia widened her eyes in fear. "What the heck, Ruby? Liam is coming here?” she asked. Ruby gave her a look and then she said. "Stop swearing dear cousin. I have kids sitting around here.” Olivia smiled. "You know you just sounded like their mother. Well, you do look like their mother with the way you look at them.” “Well, she's not their mother!” someone said and the kitchen door pulled open, and Cameron stepped inside. Oh shit! It was Ruby’s turn to widen her eyes in fear. She wondered how much of their conversation had he heard. How long he had been standing behind the door for, to have heard what they said? Cameron seemed to have the h
After lunch with his children Ruby, and her cousin, he retired back to his office to continue his work. This had been one of the reasons he had stayed back at home today so that he would see that friend and cousin. He had thought that the woman would be her friend, while the man would be her "cousin” but it didn't turn out to be that way. Thankfully, he was truly what Ruby had called him, and he was even taken, which made it all good. He was still working when the door of his office opened after a small knock sounded. Davey poked his head into his office. "Mr. MacMillan, the man is here to see Ruby. You said I should notify you first when he arrives.” He said. Cameron nodded his head. He had told him so because he wanted the opportunity to meet the man first. He still wanted to make sure that he was the cousin’s boyfriend and not Ruby’s. As long as he was working for him, he wouldn't entertain the idea of her being in a relationship, and even if she was in one, he didn't want her b
"So you think your boss hates you?” Olivia asked as she came to sit on her cousin’s bed. They have been talking on the balcony for a while, with Ruby telling her everything that had happened with her boss so far, from the first day of him saying he didn't want her, to not have a choice when his kids asked her to stay, and from the scenario in his office where she wore a tank top, forgetting she had no bra on. If Olivia didn't know her cousin any better, she would have said that she did that on purpose, but knowing her, she knew it had been something she didn't really think about. Ruby was a woman that loved to cover up her body as much as she could, even though Olivia tried to curb that. It took her a while to get her to see how beautiful she was, and how much sex appeal she had as well. She would always compare her body to hers, finding fault in the way her hips flared or the way her breasts looked. She would complain her food went to her butt, never really seeing herself the way s
After Olivia and Liam left the house that evening, Ruby was left to deal with getting dinner ready and helping Summer and Spring with their homework. She was good with multitasking, so it didn't seem like much to her. What she was bothered about was Cameron. She had noticed a change in his attitude since he came upstairs to get her and Olivia. Ruby knew quite well that the man wasn't all warmed up with her, but it wasn't this bad. She wondered what she had done this time. The fact that she was this hated by him was what she didn't understand. There was something so strong between them, or maybe it was just her imagination, or one-sided, but since Olivia had put the thought that he might be attracted to her in her head, she had been thinking it all through. With everything he had done, she saw the likeness of that in some of them, but now with his attitude, she could tell they were just nothing but what she knew they were. Sighing, she walked away from behind the cooker to go sit wi
“You should lock your door when you're in a compromising position like this.” He said after chuckling. This was the first time she was talking back at him like this, and he found out he liked this side of hers even better. She removed her hand from her mouth and said. "You should go out sir. I'm undressed. I don't know what you want, but I'll be down soon.” She said but he stood rooted to the ground. Cameron would one minute decide that this woman wasn't someone he wanted, that she wasn't the right woman for him, that he didn't crave her, and move on, but in the next moment, like she had it planned, she would do something and it will seduce him back into wanting her all over again, painfully so, without even trying. She was starting to show a feisty side he didn't realize she had before, and by the way, her voice shook, she probably didn't realize it as well until now. He wanted to see what she would do, so he took several steps toward her, and instead of her taking a step back like
The dinner went well, with Ruby and Flora talking for length after putting the kids to bed. Ruby got to meet their five-year-old son; Duke, who had insisted on sleeping over with Summer. She could tell the boy was fond of Summer and had a crush on Spring. Smiling now as she remembered the fuss he had made before his parents agreed with him staying the night. Ruby had also had to promise them that she would make sure he was well fed and not to worry about him. They would be picking him up later this evening. She was really glad she met Flora and Lee again and was able to thank them for saving her life and sending her here. This morning, she had woken up early to make breakfast because Cameron had told her last night that his sister and grandmother were coming over today. This weekend seemed to be a visitor receiving one, but she didn't mind one bit. As long as she got to cook and put a huge smile on each of the kid's faces, then she was good with it. She had decided to make use of th
It was Monday, and the kids had been taken to school by Ruby, Cameron had gone to the office, with Davey somewhere downstairs doing what butlers do. She grabbed a book from her room and walked back down the star is to go out into the garden to read it. Cameron’s house was really beautiful, both inside and out, with an amazing landscaped area that had trees lined one part, and a small canopy in another to create shade. Under the canopy were those laid-back chairs seen at the beach. In the middle were two pools, one for the kids and the other for adults. The place was really usually quiet which was why she love it here. She remembered Davey once mentioning that Cameron sometimes came out here to work, or read, but Ruby just couldn't imagine him being the laid back type that would pick up a book to read. Although she knew quite well it could be the same kind of books she usually read. Sighing, Ruby walked to the part of the place where a chair was placed directly under the sun and tho
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
