Your Dad's Perfect His Call
My phone rings, and grabbing it from the bag I answer."Yes?" Is this Oliver checking on Ivy? I laugh; he seems like the type to me."Ruby, it's Jake." Oh, God, no. I don't reply; I just sit quietly. "Look, can we talk? By talk, I mean me apologising and us sorting things out, not like dating, just, let's explain.""Jake, I don't know." I'm torn right now."Please. I won't make any moves, and I don't expect you to want to get back with me. I know I need to explain.""Okay, fine. When and where?""I've got work early, so can you come here and us talk now?""Where is here, Jake?" He actually has a job, which is unusual."My dads."Shit, that's not happening."Ruby?""Jake, I'm not sure that's a good idea." Alaric is avoiding me."My dad isn't here. I swear. I need time to explain things and apologise in person.""Okay, I will see you soon." Hanging up, I look at Ivy. "Can you get her home safe?""You're bailing?" She stares at me."Yes, I will be back tomorrow morning." Standing, I hug
Your Dad's Perfect Waiting For Him
The room is quiet, and I know I need to leave soon."Oliver had mentioned you went to your parents?" He smiles at me."It was a disaster; safe to say they will never forgive me now."He laughs slightly. "They will, Ruby; yeah, you went against their beliefs and slept with me before marriage, but even they will come around and realise that's nothing.""Jake, they know everything. In their eyes, I destroyed your and your dad's relationship. I used you two for money, so they won't come around.""How would they know?" He sits confused."That night at the party, everything was filmed. So everyone has shared it, and someone sent it to my dad.""Shit, I'm sorry. I went through your phone. Honestly, I thought you were seeing Oliver, so seeing the videos, well, yeah. I don't know."I wouldn't go with Oliver, not in that sense. "I'm sorry, Jake. Even if I didn't do it as revenge, it was wrong." It's his dad."Ruby, you don't need to apologise; I caused the mess."Nodding, I stand and grab my ba
Your Dad's Perfect Together Again
I'm glad he's stopped running."So now what, Daddy?"He groans and pulls me to him. "For now, we carry on as before and go slow."I pout at his words. "But you had just finally stopped holding back with your whip." I bite my lip, and he chuckles."By slow, I mean everything else. I won't hold you hostage here and make you move in. We need to tell our families, and we slowly tell people about us.""I have no family, Alaric."His head shakes. "You have parents.""Who officially disowned me." I won't tell them, as I won't speak to them again."They haven't. Believe me, they will get over you not saving yourself for marriage.""Alaric, they know about everything. I went to see them, but they struggled to even let me through the door. It doesn't matter anyway." It doesn't.He pulls me to him, his arms wrapping around my body."I'm sorry. You were here trying to save mine and Jake's relationship, and I just destroyed yours and your parents.""No, they did. Not you." He didn't destroy it."A
Your Dad's Perfect His Attempts
I wake up alone in Alaric's bed. It's only half six. Getting dressed, I walk down and stop when I see Jake in the kitchen."He's at work. He got called in." He barely looks at me as he talks; he continues to cook, which amuses me.Sitting for about five minutes, I watch him fail and can't stop laughing."You mocking me doesn't help."Tightening my lips, I nod and hear him swear as he burns himself."Okay, move." Walking over, I push him out of the way."I was doing fine."I turn to him and hold up the bacon. "Fine? It looks like you threw it on a campfire for an hour." I snap the bacon in half and laugh."That's how I like it." He shrugs slightly, so I hand it to him."Then eat it." I wait, watching as he looks from it to me. "Exactly. Before you try cooking so much, stick to one. Once you get used to cooking one thing, then make it two. You trying to cook a full breakfast won't work.""I was doing fine.""Just move before you burn the house down." He looks at me, offended."I'm not t
Your Dad's Perfect Business Issues
About an hour later, there is a knock, and the door opens."Hi, I'm Mr Hendrix's Secretary. Do you want a drink?""I'm good, thank you." She nods and walks out. Two hours later, I'm still sitting alone. Sighing, I stand and walk out. I see the woman look up."Is he busy?" I'm guessing he's still in a meeting."He's busy but doesn't have company, so follow me. I will show you the way." Nodding to her, I follow her through the building. This one is different to the place I usually visit.When she gets to the door, she knocks and steps back. I hear Alaric and walk in. His eyes widen."Shit, I forgot you were here."I laugh and glance at the papers surrounding him on the table. Walking over, I push the papers back and sit on the table."It's fine. I thought you had people to help?" He has an entire workforce, and those guests he had were also people who helped."They are spread across other locations. As I said, I put through the order to change things and didn't watch, so everything that
Your Dad's Perfect Helping Her
I left and messaged Alaric to let him know. When I got home, I walked into the kitchen. Bex and Ivy looked towards me."You left on our girl's night!" Bex glares at me."Oh, come on. You didn't even notice. I told you this morning." Ivy laughs. "You were that drunk and didn't notice she disappeared.""Fine, I didn't notice, but you left for Jake!" Bex stares at me in disbelief."I did, yes. He apologised, explained what happened, and what changed."They stare at me. "You took him back and stayed." Bex looks at me, shocked."No, we spoke. He left, and I waited to speak to Alaric. I stayed last night with Alaric, not Jake.""So he stopped ignoring you?" Ivy laughs."He had no choice; I was at his when he walked in. However, I did realise that my timing in saying we should take a step back made it look like I had used him for revenge."Ivy laughs. "I told you that. You did it the moment Jake knew. Now, why do you have Alaric's car?"Oh, of course, they would notice. "I was at his busines
Your Dad's Perfect Dirty Move
Standing, I turn to leave."Hey."I stop and look at Max. "Hi, Max." Moving, I go to step around him, his body moving in the way."So, you and Oliver?"My eyes widen. "No! He's with Ivy." What the hell?"You looked cosy." He leans into me."We were talking; now move." I step around him, his body moving and blocking my path. He pushes the door closed. "Max, move.""Make me Ruby." He stands smirking."Move!" I push past him to get to the door, but his hand grabs me."Oh, come on, Ruby, you used Oliver and Jake's dad for revenge, so why not use me?" He moves to kiss me, my hands pushing him back. As he pulls me closer, the sound of my top ripping makes me panic.He forces his mouth on mine, opening mine; I bite against his lip, hearing him scream. His hand pushes me back before swinging and hitting my face. My head hits off the side, and I groan, watching his body fall forward."Ruby?" Bex looks at me, turning back to Max. "I will cut you open!"I groan when I hear Bex. "Don't; let's jus
Your Dad's Perfect Not Speaking
We sat eating, and I explained that it was a worker error that caused him to get so many delivered. He seemed shocked that I got the manufacturer to agree to take back four hundred and refund them.I'm guessing he thought I would struggle. Seeing the history of the orders showed that Alaric's business is one of the manufacturer's biggest buyers, so my threatening to go elsewhere made them agree.He has still not spoken about what happened with Max; he's keeping that secret under tight lips. He turned off his phone when we walked in here, which I have a feeling he might regret if anything messes up at the business.I've agreed to stay at his place on the days I won't be studying, it's only for another three months, then I won't be restricted. I'm not now, but apparently, it would be wrong of him to let me skip classes."Jake never said, so what family do you have?" I assume they have family, or is it just Jake and his dad?"My parents are still alive; I also have a brother. He has two
