Chapter 17 Collins
The moment Ruby placed her hand on an orange that rested on the ground, Collins cold hands grabbed hers. It was kind of embarrassing, especially as she stopped moving.
‘Oh my God! this sexy man just grabbed my hand, I think I might pass out if his hand stays there any longer,” Ruby’s mind shouted.
It was the weirdest thing that she has ever encounter in her entire life, and she felt like someone who is literally going to explode. Her cheeks were pink, and even though it was dark, the light from the street lantern did its best to illuminate her face, helping Collins to see her blushing.
The situation was awkward, their positions where uncomfortable, and the silence was deafening. She wished she could just brush her mind from this thing and look at it like a normal incident but then, that wasn’t the case, not at all.
Ruby gently raised her head to meet Collin’s own, it was kind of awkward when their face was only a thin layer apart from one another. For a moment, it seemed like they all had lost their tongues, they kep quiet and they maintained their eyes on the road. There is no doubt that things aren’t going to work so fast as they planned, and if she doesn’t sponge up, she might remain here staring at this handsome man without even thinking about it.
Sighing, Ruby decided to break the ice by taking.
“I’ve got this if you do not mind,” she murmured.
Her words were like raw silk as it slide past the young man’s ears, that was quite amazing, he admired her voice, it felt like nothing he has ever heard in his entire life. Staring at the lady right now, he brushed a pretty smile at her.
“Alright, no problem, I will get the next one,” Collins replied.
Gently releasing his grasp from the orange, he did not leave the lady’s eyes. He made sure his attention was equally shared. Ruby found this amusing and as she smiled she heard the young man chuckle too. There is no doubt that they are secretly enjoying themselves. That is quite ridiculous, more like she has never seen in her entire life.
Some times, she always wished that this is the kind of relationship she gets to share with Ethan Smith, but it is obvious that it will have to be over his death body, there is absolutely no doubt about that. So she thought.
Bowing her head to avoid the young man’s gaze, she asked in a sweet but shaky voice, “What is funny?”
Collins had heard her question, and as he grabbed himself a can bottle of energy drink, he toasted it from one hand to another, drawing Ruby’s attention as she does so. Ruby couldn’t help but to follow the motion of the car, it was easy going, and it was like a mode to attack her to him. Stopping abruptly, Collins admired the way Ruby had stopped clocking her eyes from one direction to the other.
“I like the way I could control your eyes, just imagine me… controlling your heart,” Collins joked.
It was funny to him, but then, Ruby didn’t find it the least funny, thus, she rolled her eyes in anger. There is nothing that will make her angry than this, but then, she decided to brush it aside because the man’s handsomeness was making him to be arrogant, so arrogant that he can’t even hink of anything proper to think about.
“That was not the question I asked you,” Runy muttered behaving like she didn’t hear what he said.
Well, she had heard him so perfectly well, there is no doubt about it, and there more she tries to maintain her eyes on him, the more he stressed herself out. Sighing, she brushed her eyes away from ha own.
Collins who had been watching at the lady understood that she was not like the other girls she had been meeting in his past. No! Ruby was more reserved she kind of knew what she wanted, and there is nothing that can change that truth from her. He had the urge to roll his eyes at her, but on a second note, he thought it wise not to do so because it might be intimidating or even more__ rude. Instead of trying to annoy her, Collins instead thought it wise to answer her question immediately, with nothing to do in other to annoy her. At this stage, he just wanted to be friends with her, especially as she has a very striking personality, It was kind of abnormal, like nothing that she has ever seen in her entire life.
“Alright, I wasn’t laughing because something was funny, instead, that was because I allowed you to have that fruit, and more to that, the smile you gave to me, it could be equated doing such a thing with the laugh I just gave you. By the way did you like it?” he inquire.
This time, things were kind of awkward, she didn’t want to even do anything that was going to be abnormal, in fact, just brushing his mind aside, it is just not so easy going.
Ruby stared at the man at man in front of her, it was bizarre, there is nothing to do about it, and as he kind of tried herbbest to make sure that she picks the rest of the stuff that laid on the floor, he heard Collins ask,
“What is your name?”
The qauestion was a simple one, she didn’t even have the time to think about it, and she opened her mouth to tell the young man. But then, on a second note, Ruby bit her tongue not allowing the words to escape her lips.
“What was that?” she asked rolling her eyes.
Collins knew that she had heard his question, but then, the manner in which he is staring at her, with wide eyes, chiseled cheeks and a straight cheekbone, she definitely knew that ae had to tell her the question once more.
“What was what?” she inquired teasingly.
At this junction, there is no doubt that the young lady was simply messing around with him, that was a good try, a really good one because he was absolutely going to make things work for her if she just tries to be a little bit reasonable.
“Why are you being a hard nut to crack? like seriously, I was just seeking for ways to keep the flame between us burning, especially since we’ve just encountered a shock that could have possibly left use breathless. So please, do not try to make matters worse, okay?” Collins spat out.
The tone of her voice was rich, there is no doubt that he was serious with what he is saying, and staring at the lady in front of her, she couldn’t help but to maintain crazy kind of fantasies. It is really bizarre, in fact, thinking about it right now is not something he can even think about it, the thoughts are just so weird, more than anything he can even think about.
Hearing these words, Ruby’s face was as red as a tomato. This is because so much colors had risen in her face, it makes her looks so awkward that he can’t necessarily think about all these things, it is even so frustrating.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
When no one didn’t say anything, Collins decided to uladd more words to what he had earlier said.
“I respect your decision if you do not want to tell me your name, by the way, my name is Collins. You see? that wasn’t too difficult, and it hasn’t cause anyone any harm. I am sorry if it is going to cause you any harm, I apologize, like seriously, I truly apologize about it,” he murmured.
Ruby stared at him blankly, since when did telling anyone ones name become an ordeal to the extend of causing people harm? he wondered. It is kind of awkward, there is nothing he can even do about it, maybe thinking about it is so frustrating, more than anything can ever think about. Alright, the lady thought it wise that it would only be wise if she tells him her name, but then, it is kind of weird, she doesn’t even know what to talk about or least what to do. Times are tough, there is barely nothing she can do about right now. Thinking about these things, something immediately strkme through the young lady’s mind, and that is the fear that her Guardian might have already been home by now. Thinking about this, a quick shudder shot through her entire body. If that is the case, then, she is doomed, like seriously, because Ethan us that man that is not ready to give in to stuffs like looking for her or not.
The truth, which is his truth is always easy to say, but then, so difficult to practice, most at times, it is kind of difficult to process all these things, just bringing her mind to it is something that is not a piece of cake. Not at all.
Ethan will be in a fiery rage if he gets to the house and don’t find her at home. By the way, he had made it clear before that things aren’t always going to be the same if he has to ever found out that she had runaway from him. Like seriously, It is going to be piteous sight to withhold, the young man is going to be infuriated, he knows that Ruby is his, the prize he had worn for himself two years ago.
As such, there is no reason that such a thing could ever happen to him there is no doubt at all. Absolutely none.
Rubu had suddenly drawn her mind to those crazy thoughts, they were like none that she had ever experienced bedore, and just thinking about it is kind of awkward. Sighing, she brushed her head from left to right.
Collins had noticed the lady’s malaise, he drew his eyes from her face to the sweet designer body she had on, and it was kind of cool, and lie seriously, there is no doubt that she likes what she sees so mych, absolutely the kind of shape he needs in his lifee. As Ruby noticed that Collins start at him is fully, she tried clearing her throath, it was to draw his attention, and she was clear that he was going to be startled. Well, she had failed on the startling part, but then, it was kind of good that Collins had her attention now, and he thought it wise to change the sotuation before anything can happen.
“Collins?” Ruby called out.
The manner in which Collins dropped his mouth open was so entertaining, like seriously, it is like something she has never seen before. Collins was handsome, and there is no doubt on that, absolutely no that, he has this pretty face that one would look at it and mistake him for a girl, but no! that is not who he is, unlike what she pictured him to be, he ha handsome, his bright eyes that bored though her body, his well shaved breathe and also the fact that he had a clean and well flat body was enough to make Ruby want to drool on him. But then, he decided to brush that aside, it wasn’t important at all, the most important thing right now Is the fact that she wants to go home, in fact, immediately, or was that too much to ask? Ruby thought in her head.
Well, all these things are just little thoughts creasing her mind, it is kind of awkward that she has to go home, and on time.
Rubt felt the sudden anger rush through her body, it was for Ethan, be is the cause of her predicament, and nothing more, in fact, think about it now, she hates him so much.
