Back at home, Cameron was surprised to see the house a bit more deserted than usual. It wasn't as if it was always crowded or anything, but finding the front door open with no one in the sitting room was not something he had expected. He walked down the hall, then back to the living room but no one was there. He wondered where Davey was, and soon, he began to call his name. "Davey?" he called, and then tried again, but there was no response from the man who was usually very attentive, but then again, it was his first time not to be in around like this. Unlike usual days, nobody came to take his bag, or car keys like Davey or one of the cleaners would do, and Ruby wasn't even in sight as well. This made him frown, and then a worry line marred his forehead. He stepped out of the living room to walk around and look for someone. The kitchen was also vacant but he could see that there was a kettle that was over boiling on the stove, and he walked quickly to it to get it off but it burn
By the time Cameron got home the following day from, it was so late that his children were asleep. He had tried as much as possible to get home from work, but he had been stuck in a meeting that lasted for about seven hours straight. It was a conference meeting with the board members and some investors. He had not been the one to schedule the meeting but the investors themselves, so it had been impossible to get out of it. He would have left them there if he could because he knew he had promised his daughter to be home in time for bed, but the silent house told him he had missed it. Even Davey must have gone to bed, a man who always waited up for him until he was home. The older man must be tired to have left him and gone to bed. He sighed and got rid of his tie, throwing it somewhere. He would get it later when he was back downstairs to eat dinner if he still could.All he could feel as he dropped his bag on the couch and started up the stairs to Spring’s room was guilt. She was n
Cameron had promised to do research on Ruby Miller when he left his friend’s house that day, and he had been able to find out that she had a cousin who was a nurse and no other family, and then she herself was a graduate with a criminal law major. She had not gone to law school but could have the plan to attend. She was a good abiding citizen with no criminal record. Aside from all that, she was a beautiful soul with a beautiful body, but as tempting as that sweet, curvaceous body of hers was, he knew all he needed from her was her taking care of his kids, and not his want, of needing her to take care of his aching dick or allow him to bury himself to the base so deep in her she knew nothing but him. He wanted to be all over her, and inside her, but he would have to suppress the feeling. Without being told, he knew quite well himself, that it was a dead end and nothing can ever happen between them. He knew how risky this was, standing outside her door watching her like this. He kne
Ruby didn't know what to do for the first two seconds when her eyes met his, but then, her brain worked and she ran to the other side of the room to get her shorts. “Shit, Olivia. I'll call you back. We haven't finished this conversation.” She said and ended the call before zipping up her shorts and squaring her shoulder to face her boss, who she heard entered her room. But, as soon as she turned to face him, her shoulder drooped off, and the courage she thought she had evaporated. She had no idea when he got there, or for how long he had watched her for. If anything, she didn't even expect him there. It might be true that she had not been sure she locked the door, but he still didn't have to stand there watching her, only she didn't have the courage to say that to him. It didn't even feel like it should when someone watched her as he did. She should be crept out but she felt sexy, having someone like him watch her. She wondered why he was looking at her when he could have walked
“What are you doing?” Cameron asked as he entered into the kitchen. He was once again angry, but he wasn't sure who he was angry at now. Was it at Ruby, who was talking to a man on the phone who was probably her boyfriend, or was it at himself for being attracted to his employee? Ruby turned to look at him as she opened the door of the microwave. "Oh, I was just getting this out of the microwave.” She said, offering him a small smile. The smile hit him at the center of his chest. Why was she smiling at him when she was just talking to her boyfriend? He had thought about the possibility of her having a boyfriend the first time she had come to work for him, but now hearing her speaking to him whoever he was wasn't something he liked at all.“I remembered telling you, you didn’t have to bother.” He said.He knew quite well that he was acting like a jerk, but he just couldn't help it. He had heard briefly at the door that the name of the person she was talking to was Liam. He wished tha
“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
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
