Sold To Mr President

Collins was going to say something to Ruby, but he didn’t, he didn’t know that the lady was thinking so hard, there is no doubt that he is seeing what is going on, Ruby’s mind had been captured in a faraway place, there is no doubt about that.

“Are you alright, Ruby? I am sorry that I scared you this much,” Collins confessed staring deep into the young lady’s eyes.

Lucky enough for them, the girl had not thrown anything, this so far, everything is fine, apart from the fact that she was breathing heavily. Trying to control her breathing, Ruby tried as much as she could to do her best in maintaining the packet of groceries in her arms. How on earth had she been so far away with her thoughts? she could barely believe the fact that something as such had happened, but then, if she doesn’t hallucinate this much, it is quite a disaster, something that she can’t possibly wrap her mind around it.

Catching her breath, she stared at the man in front of her with bewilderment, before she let out sweetly, “It’s alright, apology accepted. Now, please, promise me that you wouldn’t scare me that way in your entire life, please, tell me,” Ruby Buttered in her serious voice.

It was kind of awkward to hear those things, she didn’t even have the mind to think properly, she couldn’t even support the shock that she had been placed through.

Collins advanced in front of her sweetly, as she tried to move a step backward, but that was to no avail since she had several things playing in her mind. Each step back that she took was counterpart with a new one from the young man as he advanced her boldly.

“Hey! What do you want from me?” Ruby questioned as she reached the end of the road, and her back slammed across a wall. It was large, not only that but also smooth. As the smooth wall caressed her back she seemed to smile maliciously for a second instead of focusing on what she had in front of her. Well, there is no way that she can ever stop herself from focusing on Collins.

He was now in front of her face, only a thin light separated them from one another, and it will be an outright lie if she says that his cologne that waffled her nostrils wasn’t pleasant, then she is lying, yes she is lying. The drama was too much there is nothing that she can do about it now especially as the smell was pleasant, not only that, but then, she did inhale as much that was possible.

The moment was immediately calm, the body had their eyes on one another, and it was kind of cool. Ruby seemed to have a knot on her neck as the words suddenly became ragged in her throat. There is no way that she can talk about anything, in fact, she just shut up. Starting at the man now, she couldn’t say anything. The same effect was doing Collins too, he couldn’t say anything too.

Instantly, their both bodies were united, and their head came to a lock and. Ruby wondered if she is the only person that notices what is going on now. There is no doubt that Collins and she are going to kiss, but then, is this what she wants? is she really ready to take the shot by closing her eyes and allowing the young man in front of her to take advantage of her? of course not, but then, she didn’t have the stamina to move, hell no, she just remained there, her legs glued to the ground, there is nothing she can do right now and as she closed her eyes in shock, she definitely couldn’t say anything at all. It is quite hard to say that.

Collins felt himself drowning in the lady’s eyes too, there is basically nothing he can do about it, he just decided to close his eyes and allow the chilling effect to slow down, but then, he suddenly had some kind of burning flames in his body and it could only be quenched by the manner in which things are done. It just so annoys the hell out of him.

Deep down in him, he had a conflict with himself, whereby he fears whether he should advance towards the lady in front of him, or he should just stay there doing nothing, and just staring at them like that. Well, that will be a little bit improper, he cares so much about a lady to violate any part of their body. Instead of Collins going any further he decided to just stop there, starting at Ruby’s fine grey eyes, they suited her and added more hue to her eyes. To say that she is pretty is an understatement, Collins found her beauty striking, coupled with the fact that she didn’t use any makeup to hide that out that is kind of nice and the most essential part of her beauty.

Sighing, she tried her best to brush her mind aside, there is no doubt to focus on her anymore, especially when he had had enough of devouring her pretty face, and mastering it in her eyes. There is no doubt that he finds the lady attractive, much more than he can actually think about it. The way her eyebrows are being drawn, her pretty eyes, the way they were, more like almond, but they were also round. He admired her lips the most. Ruby had a full lower lip, that was the joy of her beauty that no one could beat her on, and not only that, her upper lip was thin, and also light, as such, it fitted perfectly.

At this point, Collins could swear that he has found the lady he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Well, it is a joke, he kind of sees it as being embarrassing, but then, he swept his mind from those things. It didn’t end there because instantly, he decided to open his mouth and give the lady a piece of what he thinks about it. He is so glad when he told her the truth that he had been nursing in his heart for too long.

“Ehmmm! you are beautiful, and not only that, but you look like an unveil parcel, unless the remove the strings that are tying you down, then that gift inside If you will proudly come out. I am sorry if I say this to you, but then, I am so damn serious. If you can spend some time with me, I will be so glad. Can we exchange contacts? I mean, can we know others better than just being here?” Collins explained.

As he noticed the confusion in the lady’s face was kind of frustrated there is practically nothing to do right now and not only that but then, he feels so down already in case the lady didn’t seem to notice it.

Hearing these words, Ruby felt like she was going to pass out, and there is no doubt about that. She had heard the words slipped out of Collins’s mouth as if they weren’t seriously talking to her, but then, she was, and she expected a reply from her. Hmm! Ruby didn’t need someone to spell the word trouble for her when she saw one or more sensed it.

Firstly, Collins’ idea is crazy. There is basically no way that she will stay there and allow the man to talk or do anything that is contrary to at he doesn’t know or sensed at all but then, she felt so frustrated, there is nothing she can actually do about it.

“I am sorry, I do not have a cell phone, neither do I have a telephone number. If you do not mind, I will love to end this conversation here, and if we seem it deems, let’s part ways never to meet again,” Ruby spat out a little bit gently than the way she had planned it to be.

Sighing, she just decided to brush her mind aside from that thought. But then, she doesn’t seem to hide it, there is no point doing so at all.

The real deal is, Ruby is leaning on the wall facing the big road, that is already the first risky move, but then, she didn’t want to think that Ethan isn’t at home already she definitely knows that Ethan has gone to the house by now, and if he is not there, that means he is still outside. This is very bad scened because the least thing that will happen will only mean that in case Ethan passes this way, he is going to spot her. And if such a thing happens to her, that will be a sad thing to even think about this stuff, but then, wrapping her mind around it is even worse that she actually thinks about it, therefore if she doesn’t slip past Collins now and that it is Ethan that finds them first, then she will be as good as dead, and just then thoughts made shivers to chill down Ruby’s spine.

To say that Ruby is afraid of Ethan will be an understatement because she is so scared of him, she fears him more than she actually fears herself and that is the only thing she can do about it is that she needs to respect the man that is called Ethan, If not, things wouldn’t actually work well for her.

Ruby was thinking when she heard Collins’s words cut into her thoughts.

“Wait, you mean in this age of technology, you do not have a phone, nor even a number? come on, I know you are kidding me and that is quite a funny way to say these things, but please, let’s be serious for a moment and stop joking, now, you have to tell me the truth, or at least, give me your home line, I will call you through that,” Collins concluded.

Hearing these things, Ruby’s cheeks became a shallow hue of pink, she seemed to know many things that the young man in front of her was so ignorant about, and that is enough to make her spirit bitter. It just so much irritates her, she can’t even believe her eyes that such things are happening to her, but then, she tried not to be too embarrassed or more shed any tears from her eyes.

That would actually be the next thing she was going to do, she hates being humiliated about such trivial things, but then, Collins was right, how can a mature lady like me be behaving as if I was in the dark ages? well, this is not her fault, she openly blames it on Ethan for destroying her mind that much, it is not just annoying, but also irritating, she can’t even think of anything realistic anymore, her mind is just so blown out with the things she is facing right now.

Sighing, she heaved a sigh that seemed to have been clutched in her throat for the who evening. This is not her fault, when Ethan had kidnapped her, she had a phone, and also a number, but those things had been ceased and destroyed in front of her eyes.

Ethan had made sure that she had nothing in her that could help her communicate with the outside world, and he was so proud that he had cut every link she had with the world for a long period of time. This is what he wants, and absolutely what makes him happy too. There is no way that he can actually deny that fat, especially when it was obvious, and it had just been recently that he found her useful because Ruby could help him in several ways by going to the grocery shop, make a sumptuous meal for him, and also warm his bed. This is quite a number of chores that Ethan could no longer run for himself, talkless of two people.

The only thing that ties the string right now is the fact that Ruby is subjected to him, and will never leave his side.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
