“It’s a little wonder you were the best graduating student” Nate commented as they shared a laugh They talked about their college experiences. Ruby went on to tell him about how she dated a guy who didn’t like peanut butter and jelly. “He must be a real loser then,” Nate laughed again. “Who the hell doesn’t like peanut butter and jelly?” They had ordered another set of fries and shared a plate. Ruby had just fifteen minutes with him and he wanted to make it the best. It hurt so much but he successfully put up a bright smile. Why it hurt so much wasn’t clear to him, it wasn’t like she meant anything to him.It reminded him of when he lost his father. Mr Jacobin had shown signs of recovery and the doctors said they were going to clear him in a week's time. Grace put in all the effort, she picked out the best of his suits for him. After being sick for months, everyone was happy to have him back on board. Nate remembered vividly how excited he was when he heard the news. He

The stern frown on Ruby’s face could melt an iceberg. The flight attendant managed to keep herself composed amidst the groans of the passengers. A fake smile plastered on her face as she moved back from the angry crowd. “What do you mean our flight has been rescheduled?” An angry woman with a baby asked.The chaos at the airport irritated Ruby even more. The angry woman’s baby won’t stop crying and a couple of toddlers kept shouting. “I’m sorry but we are having some maintenance issues and the weather isn’t favorable either” the attendant explainedRuby sighed as she dragged her luggage, she was too tired to argue with the attendant. She had received mail concerning the flight being delayed. She ignored it and hoped it was a joke. The flight was scheduled for four o’clock and was rescheduled to six. By six, the attendant announced the flight would have to be rescheduled to 12am the next day. She bit her tongue, she should have figured sooner that the flight was going to be re

The night slowly crept in as both sat on the bench, preoccupied. They’d sat in silence for thirty minutes, not an uncomfortable silence though. The lounge was almost empty as the passengers looked for where to pass the night in. Soft jazz music played on the speakers as they watched the nursing mother put her baby to sleep. Everyone was tired from the day's events and needed a good night's rest. The airport staff tried to compensate them by offering them food. “It’s getting late” Ruby commented as she sized her luggage.She packed the essential things she needed and had planned to have the rest moved to her when she was in Columbia. It didn’t occur to her how much stuff she had until she started packing. She had tried selling so many things but that only reduced it by a bit. “We should get going then” he said as he stretched his legs.His eyes felt heavy. It was a day he could never forget, a crazy one but every minute was worth it. Ruby weighed her options. The drive ba

A chauffeur driven limousine pulled up at the parking lot as Nate had instructed. He rolled his eyes, he instructed the servants to keep everything discreet and low key. So far, he hadn’t seen anyone looking suspicious or taking pictures of him or Ruby which was a good thing but still, he wanted to play safe. The chauffeur was dressed in a two piece tuxedo which Ruby thought was ridiculous. She could feel the looks they got from a bunch of people. She sighed, thankfully the chauffeur wasn’t putting on a dramatic hat to go with it.He bowed dramatically as he held the door open for them. Nate mumbled something inaudible as he shook his head. He could tell that there were a million things going on in the driver's head like who was the lady and why was he bringing her home. He knew his servants had a couple of things to say about him but he trusted them to keep their mouths shut. “Are you okay?” He asked Ruby. He could feel her shift uncomfortable in her seat. “Yeah” she mum

A moan escaped her lips as she savored the taste of the buttered chicken. The dining was covered with a variety of dishes, the maids went all out. “The chauffeur would drive you to the airport tomorrow” Nate said as he cut through his chicken Ruby nodded. She was too tired to be bothered about her flight. She had had one of the longest and most unbelievable days of her life. Ending up in Nate’s house wasn’t part of the plan but it happened anyway. “Why are you being so nice?” She asked, looking him in the eye.She still felt guilty for keeping everything from him. It would have made her feel better if he was mean to her especially since she felt like she was betraying him. “Count yourself lucky, I’m not always nice” he chuckled, flashing her his pearly white teeth “I have something to tell you” she announcedGuilt had eaten her so much, she lost her appetite. She figured since she was moving the next day, she could as well tell him the truth and save his company “W

She hugged her knees as she sat in the bathtub. Maria had added bath bombs and some sort of bath oil which helped calm her. She let her hair and body soak as she thought of what to do next. She closed her eyes as she took in deep breaths “By this time tomorrow, it’s going to be over. I’ll be in Columbia. He’ll probably forget about me in a couple of weeks” she told herself as she felt a cry rise in her throat. Her phone beeped for the umpteenth time. She had forty seven unread messages from Esme. On the bright side, none of the messages seemed like an emergency and she didn’t bring up anything that had to do with Nate or her moving to Columbia. The downside was that she had some bedtime reading to do, anything to take her mind off Nate. She sipped the tea Maria prepared for her. “Mmmh, delicious” she smacked her lips.She wondered if Nate had wonderful chefs stationed in all his houses all year. While she had been keeping up with him, she knew he hadn’t visited some of t

Ruby clutched the phone as she scribbled something hurriedly on the back of the book. “A telecommunications company?” She asked, to be sure had heard Anderson correctly. Just like other days, Anderson decided to pass the night on his yacht with the captain at the steering. When it came to Nate, It wasn’t just about the business for him. Nate had taken almost everything away from him. In business school, he was the best student before Nate came. Everyone looked up to him and respected him, a couple of times, he won most likely to succeed. One of the perks that came with being handsome and popular was having a flock of girls around him. He loved the attention and all that came with it. All that changed when Nate came, it was almost as if he existed no more. No one paid him as much attention, everyone had Nate’s name on their lips. As if that wasn’t enough, Nate went on to be the most successful businessman and won the award every single year. Ruby listened to him carefully, sh

Nate lay on his bed, his eyes closed. He could hear the angry sound of his own breathing. It turned out the girl he was starting to trust had stabbed him in the back mercilessly and it hurt like hell.He was twice as angry at Anderson. He really had the nerve since they were in college. When Anderson reached out to him, he asked for a meeting with Ruby. It was one of the hardest decisions he ever made in his career. To allow his special employee to meet with a business rival. He let her go because he trusted her not to do anything stupid and he knew Anderson was going to keep disturbing him anyway. He groaned as he realized how much of a fool he has been. He was never the type to make mistakes but when he did, they cost him something important.He heard her cry and Maria comforted her. His heart had softened by he wasn’t ready to face her, not until he got himself together and was sure of what he was doing.Her room was adjacent to his. He listened carefully to make sure she was

She tossed for the umpteenth time. After a long and emotional day, it was only right that she had a good night rest but that wasn’t forthcoming. After her call with Anderson, three cups of chamomile tea and thirty minutes of pacing around she decided to sleep. The sheets were so soft she had almost thought they were made of cotton candy. The house was so quiet she could have sworn if a pin dropped, she would hear. Maria had returned to her room after ensuring Ruby was well pampered.Ruby groaned as she pulled the blanket over her head. “Why can’t I sleep?” She asked herself as she pouted It was unusual for her as she always drifted off to sleep immediately she touched the bed. Sighing, she moved to the door and placed her ear against it. “Just one sound” she whispered as she leaned in more.She had to admit she was spying on Nate. Her anxiety was over the roof especially since she hadn’t heard him leave his room after their quarrel.She was barely resisting the urge to

She moved across the hallway on her toes. The servants quarters were a distance from their room so she was quite sure they weren’t aware of what was going on. In one hand was her pepper spray. She didn’t want to consider the fact that someone could be hurting him. She opened the door slowly as she peeked into the dark room. His sweet manly scent greeted her as she opened the door. She could hear his low breathing and pants.There was no way anyone could break into Nate’s house, he had the most secure security systems and the alarms would go off if anyone even tried as much to snoop around the building. She placed the pepper spray on the table as she made her way to the bed. The room was quite big and more spacious than hers. She moved slowly as the room was almost pitch black and she had only a ray of the moonlight to light up her way. She flickered a switch and light poured into the room from the bulbs.The room was designed with neutral colors and hints of earth tone, giving
