There was a long line of people at the cafe when Ruby got in. It was typical, it was lunch break and she had very much expected it. Nate’s company was located at one of the most industrialized cities in Oregon and most companies around had the same lunch break. She quickly found an empty table before it got filled up. Nate in his now usual manner had sent flowers to her and left her a note, wishing her a great day. Everything about him left her amazed and she wanted him more. Esme had thought him old fashioned for writing a little note to her but Ruby had to admit to herself that it was one of the most romantic gestures she had received in her life, not that she had received many anyway. His scent had lingered into the letter and she went about her day, sniffing the letter occasionally as she craved for his attention and his familiar sweet smell. He was the perfect mix of old fashioned and modern day. Nate had the mentality of taking care of his woman, providing for her and p

She smiled thankfully when the waiter brought her coffee, it was just how she liked it. She had to admit how incredibly proud of Nate she was. Despite all that had happened, he was still focused on his business and was making big waves. Rumor had it that he was going to win businessman of the year again.She smiled sadly, she wanted to be by his side when he won. Just like she watched in movies, when a man won an award, he would call his wife to join him on stage and talk about how awesome she is and how she contributed to his success. She stirred the coffee and fixed her eyes back on his office. The crowd was already thinning out for lunch break, which she liked because she didn't want anyone to catch her stalking and drooling over Oregon’s hottest boy. Her eyes lit up as she watched him walk into the office. She knew the familiar frown on his face, the frown that he had on when he had a long meeting. She smiled softly, she longed to stroke his face and tell him everything w

Nate swallowed hard as he walked into the office. It was a very busy day at work. The project for the renovation of the park had already begun but the construction workers had faced opposition. While they were working, some thugs had attacked them but luckily, none of them were hurt. Nate rolled his eyes as he sunk into his chair, he was certain it was one of the nominees for businessman of the year. He quite expected it and was prepared to press charges against them. Most of the men were jealous of him and tried their best to bring him down, how typical. His stomach rumbled a bit as he remembered he was running off six hours of coffee. Normally, he would have had breakfast with Ruby but he had lost appetite ever since she left. The house felt so empty that he had even considered leaving the condo. He opened his drawer to pull out a pen and paper but then changed his mind. It was the first time he was in love and he had serenaded her with so many flowers and letters the past w

Ruby felt her heart race when she saw Taylor walk into the office. What did she want? Were they really together? She could see the frown on Taylor’s face and she was curious about what she was saying. She felt so much satisfaction when Nate totally ignored her and turned his back to her. She smiled, she wished Esme was with her, it was a different kind of feeling, sipping coffee while watching Taylor upset and trying to get attention.Her eyes remained focused on the window as she watched them exchange words. Nate was calm but sad. She wanted to kiss his forehead and apologize for leaving him, to cook his pancakes in his kitchen while they listened to the radio or sang along to a crappy song. It had been the most unbelievable, dramatic but happiest time of her life. It was her and the love of her life against the world. She watched as the look on Taylor’s face changed from furious to hurt and then to a mix of the two. She watched as Taylor clutched the table in anger, even t

Nate had never run so fast in life, except for the time she had followed her to the airport. Thankfully , the elevator wasn’t occupied which made it easier for him.He knew it was her, he had studied her body so much he could buy a dress and be sure it would fit her perfectly. He didn’t care about the weird stares he had gotten from Maggie and Cassie, he had been through so much that all he wanted to do was to be reunited with the woman who made him happy. Luckily enough, there weren’t any cars on the road so he was able to cross over to her with ease. “Rubyyyy” he called out, out of breath. He made a mental note to hit the gym.It had been only a few weeks but he could feel himself famished from a little run. “I know you don’t want to speak to me but please, you can’t keep ignoring me” He didn’t bother masking the desperation he felt in his voice. He was also aware that most of the onlookers were recording him but did any of that matter? The newspapers or gossip blogs we

Ruby closed her eyes as she wished it all to go away. She never liked the attention, attention always meant something bad to her. When she got attention from the bad kids in highschool, they ended up beating her and bullying her every other other day.When Nate wrapped his arms around her, her nostrils were filled with his scent. All the tension she had felt the past few weeks were dissolved instantly. How could a man have the ability to calm her raging nerves so quickly?She didn’t mean for him to catch up with her as she didn’t want him to know that she was stalking him but it ended up that anyway. “Where are we going?” She asked, her voice coarse She almost pinched herself, she had come up with a resistance plan with Esme where they’d ignore their partners. On Esme’s part, she was going to ignore Ethan totally and keep him in the dark concerning the baby. Ruby wasn’t satisfied with the idea but Esme was persistent.Ruby’s part was to ignore Nate for a while until he got his

“Have you forgiven me?” Nate asked in a soft voice as he pulled to the beach She snorted, when he had said he was taking her somewhere safe, she hadn’t expected the beach but it worked perfectly anyway. It was one of her favorite places to be at and there wasn’t any crowd.Most of the stores were getting into the festive mood already. Christmas trees and lights were already hung up and the smell of hot chocolate. “No, I haven’t” she answered with a pout She moved a little closer to him so her hands could brush against it. It was a habit she had picked up when she started working for him. It was a silly excuse to be close to him but it worked fine for her every time. “How do I prove that I didn’t mean for any of that to occur? Ruby, I’d choose you over and over again. I know I’m not the best man for you and you deserve someone better but please trust me when I say I’m willing to try” He swallowed hard, he found himself confessing his love for her more and more as the day passe

“Have a great day” the waiter smiled as he left.Ruby smiled as she blew the steam off her hot chocolate and took a sip. Wasn’t life perfect? She was enjoying the view of the beach while sipping hot chocolate with the love of her life, or maybe not. He was giving her the life she wanted. “What have you been up to?” He asked softly, he was careful enough to not anger her “I’ve been working with Mark and you know that. Life has been great” Nate pulled a jealous face, he was jealous she was having fun with him, her life seemed to be way better without him in it and she even had a wider smile. He noticed that she definitely got prettier after she left. “Ruby, I need to know if you like me. I’ve made it clear that I like you but I haven’t exactly heard you say it” Ruby almost choked on her drink and then cleared her throat before going silent. Nate stared at her as he waited for a reply. His fears were coming true. Maybe she didn’t like him that much or maybe there were no

“I’ve always liked you but I couldn’t say the same for you. Some days you look at me like I’m very special and then other days, you act like I don’t exist” she started, her eyes transfixed on the groundShe was quite certain that the truth was going to be out the next day especially because the reporters had seen her face so they were going to dig deep into her background. It was better she told Nate than for him to find out the truth and receive a huge shock. “Ruby, I don’t know how to behave around you,” he admitted with sad eyes. “I’ve never found it difficult to talk to a woman but you’re different. I’m always tongue tied around you. You challenge me and you know just how to annoy me. No woman has ever done that to me” “Tomorrow, there’d be somethings published about me and I think it’s best if I let you know than for you to find out”Nate raised a brow, what could be so important? “It doesn’t matter what they say, I want to stick with you” “It matters” she shook her

Bad news. One of the things Nate had dreaded all his life. After his conversation withRuby, he was beyond shocked about what he heard and he was scared of what was going to be in the news. To his surprise, she had confessed her feelings for him in detail. It was one of the best things he had ever heard. He understood why she didn’t want him to hold back how he felt towards her, it was because she felt protected, secured and loved. Admitting his feelings meant she wasn’t alone. He also felt the same way about her. She had also told him that there would be a lot of things published about her the next day, some might be true, some might not. He rolled his eyes and then rubbed at his forehead, why did she have to be so difficult. He had remembered that Taylor told him that Ruby was who she thought he was but he didn’t want to pay attention to it even though it couldn’t leave his mind. Taylor was a pathetic liar so he couldn’t believe anything she said.Nate never really looked for
