Chapter 26 Miss Cherry
“Hey! Collins, please stop, I don’t find it proper for you and I to stand here in such a compromising position, like seriously, if you do not mind, can you move away from my body? I will love to go home now, thank you,” she blurted out in her tiny weeny voice.
Ruby was already feeling uncomfortable, all what sh wanted right now was to leave, or was that too much to ask? of course not, so Collins should just let her be. As she heaved a sigh that was clutched in her throat, she looked at him with an offensive glance, it was kind of embarrassing but then, she let it slip out of her mind. Sighing, Ruby lifted her chin lightly as she glared at the man that is in front of her.
Collins didn’t look the least like a man that was ready to let Ruby go, he was just focused in teasing the lady, hell no! there is nothing like that right now. The lady’s shampoo waffles his nostrils, he loved the smell, and he couldn’t say any less about it. She smelled like a bed of roses, and her strawberry lavender smelled the strongest on her hair, as if she had had an extra retouch on that part of her body. She looked like a gift, a well wrapped parcel that he wished he could take home, but then, he shook his head lightly, not wanting to think about all these crazy things right now.
As he heaved a gently sigh, his breathe mingled with Ruby’s own, causing her to shiver lightly. It was like nothing that she was yet to experience, and glancing at the man’s face with hers, she had the sudden urge to slap him across the face. That feeling is weird and she can testify about it, but then, what can she even do about it? nothing, absolutely nothing. As she brushed her head to the corner, she didn’t want the man to see her pretty face, or the glint of failure that was slightly painting in her eyes, she felt the urge to cry, but then she just rolled her eyes in anticipation.
“Hey! miss, we are just having some fun huh? it’s not like I actually want to harm you, hell no! don’t think I’ll ever do that, by the way, you are not Cinderella, so you are not oblige to go home before midnight, how about that?” Collins called out to him.
Raising a brow, Ruby eyed the young man as if she had not clearly heard what he had said, but that was a lie, she had heard him so well that it hurts, but that is it, she didn’t have the actual courage to face him, and at another point, she had to conclude that she is the loser, maybe the young man was right, she is truly Cinderalla, and her case will be worse if Ethan areives the house before her, she will be worse than dead, not to talk on how he can possibly kill her.
That Is just her silly thoughts having the best of her, she hated that feeling more than anything on earth, she didn’t even have the task to come through all these things, she was frustrated more than the actual deal.
One thing Ruby was sure of is the fact that Ethan doesn’t uses this road to go home, it is quite long for his likeness__ as he always says it, and not only that, but then, he also thinks that things aren’t always working the way she wants it, and it will be kind of awkward if the young man actually deals with her in this manner, she wouldn’t have something reasonable to think about, and it will be a dangerous thing to reason it out because someone might actually loss his or her life.
In that case, it is going to be her. Leaving with Ethan for all these years had made him know the young man as if she was an intimate part of her, she feels kind of awkward each time the young man has to go on a mission and kill people, but who is she to talk about these things? a nobody, she doesn’t even know what all these shit entails, and the worst of it is that she definitely needs to keep her mouth shut, if she wants to live long, and peacefully with Ethan, her life is so important to her, she doesn’t mind spending it for the man that had captured her, it doesn’t mean anything at all, and the joy she has is more than anything she can actually hope for, it is worth than what she has to leave for if she is on her own.
Sighing, Ruby tried escaping Collins grasp, but that was an impossible task for her because the young man ised his hand to place it on the wall, stopping her movements. It was kind of embarrassing to the girl, as she blushed profusely, she could hardly wrap her mind around this. Collins had swiftly placed his packets filled with grocery shops, so his hands were free for the monent, unlike Ruby who still had to carey her goods in her arms.
The deep hot color spread across her face in a minute, it was something she couldn’t think of, and the stress is something that could kill her, like seriously, she found it humiliating that she was too close to this man.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why…?” she started but then her words trailed as she kept staring at the man in front of her.
Even though Collins was kind of too close to her, she didn’t feel embarrassed to be this close to him, she didn’t feel it to be normal, neither did she think about it to be bad. Well, she loved the way the man was hot, it is the best feeling she could ever feel in her entire life, and that was quite amazing, the way his fragrance waffles her nostrils, it is kind of awkward to even feel his warm, she tried her best to maintain her look that showed her as fearless, and also the fact that she knows what she is doing. The worst of ut being that she can’t even picture her mind around all these things, it is kind of weird.
“Why? hmmm what is it about the why?” Collins asked teasingly as he maintained his glance on the lady’s face.
Ruby felt his heat, it was quite close to her, and was like known that she has ever felt before. Just thinking about it, she didn’t want to make a scene nor even continue with her sentence, so instead of just rolling her mind around it, she just succeeded in making his mind go crazy, like nothing she had witness before
Forcing a gulp to pass down her throat, she decided to make things better for her, and it is quite cool, she just wants to make herself happy, and if doing this will make her glad, and there is no doubt about it.
“Why are you doing this to me?” Ruby asked raising her brows quizically.
Her voice was low, and it felt like she was going to cry any minute from now, well, that was to taste if truly Collins was a beast or not. Like seriously, she is ready to open up to the man about the fact that she wants him to kidnap her, and take her far away. Well, that will make Collins be startled for a moment, and this, if he reacts negatively, he might run away from her thinking that she is crazy, and of course, she doesn’t look like someone who will stand by her side in case of anything, hell no! he hasn’t even stood aside for her to pass, why then would he want to take the risk of taking a stranger to his house? hmmm! in most cases, very few people actually take others to their houses, and just like Ethan, who knows whether Collins might just he a wolf in sheep clothing? and here is he hiding.
‘Hmm! sometimes, the devil you know is a million times better than the angel you do not know,’ Ruby muttered to herself.
She was correct with the things she said, and glaring at the young man wearily, she happened to be so exhausted. The words didn’t seem to want to leave her truth, it was ragged, and as she glared at the young man in front of her, it was kind of awkward for to say anything more.
One thing she doesn’t want to do right now is to add more bruises to her wounded heart already, one at time is okay, and as galred at Collins, she dared him to speak up.
Collins had heard Ruby’s words, it had stuck every fiber in his body, and for a moment, he felt the pang of guilt strike him so much, but then, he didn’t want to think about it just now because it wi be some sort of a nightmare to him, but that was not enough for him, hell no! it wasn’t funny at all.
Today has been one day of hell to him, so much that he couldn’t just pass this opportunity to amuse himself with the lady like that, she didn’t find it funny, and the least that she could do right now is to leave here without at least knowing this lady, even If it is the slightest bit of her.
“So, miss cherry…” Collins started, but her words were trailed off when Ruby cut in with her little weeny voice.
“That is not my name, and I am warning you not to call me that way, please,” Ruby begged as she creased her forehead.
Hearing her say this, Collins started laughing, he had done that with the back of mind that the lady wouldn’t find this funny, well, her reactions tell it all, Ruby was so unwelcoming from the moment she heard him call her like that. It was the least amusing to her, but contrary to the way she felt, Collins loved that feeling, it made him smile widely, showing all his white and straight pair of teeth.
It was an amazing view for Ruby, but she wasn’t happy with being called miss Cherry, so she rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Collins was the man of the game, he controlled the situation, and as she glared at her, it was the right moment he needed to tease the hell out of her.
“Ohh! see how beautiful she is when she is angry, I guess I need to see you more often so that I can cause more trouble for you, by the way, if you do not want me to call you that, why then don’t you tell me your name? so that I can stop calling you… Miss Cherry,” Collins blurted out laughing.
Immediately Ruby heard these, she became red as the cherry tomato, it was kind of awkward, but she had merited the name, there is no doubt about that. As she creased her forehead, she lightly three her head behind not wanting to believe the fact that she has actually heard every word of what the man had said, it is kind of awkward, she can’t think positively about it, her mind was stressed out, but then, she made it in such a way that it is going to be relaxing, but hell no, not in this kind of a situation.
She kept staring at the man as of she was saying a strange language, something very different from what she knows already, and that is quite cool, more than anything that she has had to feel in her entire life. Brushing these thoughts aside, she didn’t want anything to happen to her or this man, she needs to be on the safe side of the road, so she released a long and slow muffled sound. Opening her eyes, she glared at the man in front of her.
“My name doesn’t matter now, just let me go please,” she pleaded.
