Mr CEO’s Little Bride

TALK IT OUT.

Ruby’s Pov;

I smiled broadly, scooping the last spoon of rice into my mouth. The meal was delicious and I enjoyed every bit of it.

I was now fully energized and would surely have all the energy to give Nathan a piece of my mind.

Thoughts of school flooded my mind. We were to resume the next day, and I was so far away.

Goodness!!.

I got up from the chair, my stomach so much that I feared I would be able to take anything again for that day.

I walked to the sitting room, taking a position on the couch I was seated on before.

I picked up the remote control, and started searching through the channels for a good programme to watch and relieve myself.

I have to say, this has got to be the weirdest honeymoon in history. Can’t believe I’m sitting here all by myself and the funny thing is I don’t even know the whereabouts of my so-called husband.

When he left or when he’s coming back is completely unknown to me.

” Would you like anything else ma’am?” the maid from earlier – Lara asked.

” Uhm… a glass of juice” I said simply.

She bowed again and was midway when I stopped and called her back.

“Can you drop the ma’am thingy. You can just call me Ruby. My name is Ruby ” I told her, all smiles.

She smiled too.

” I can’t do that ma’am, ” she replied.

” Why not?” I asked puzzled, although I was expecting her to say that

She chuckled.

” Even a year old baby brought here would be addressed as Sir. It’s the rule here and the right thing to do” she explained.

I wanted to object but I just decided to let it slide, because it seems nothing I say now will change her mind. She will only think I am trying to get her into trouble.

So, I just nodded and allowed her to be on her way.

She had left when I heard a car horn outside.

I needed no one to tell me it was him. I adjusted on my seat, awaiting its presence, and it came sooner than I expected.

He came walking in majestically, and swiftly into the sitting room.

He took one quick, sharp glance at me and that was it, he was on his way to the stairs, not taking another glance at me again.

I was sure if I hadn’t seen him glance at me, I probably wouldn’t have known about it.

How dare him act like I don’t exist? He must think I’m calm and a good girl, or that I’ll go easy on him because I’m way younger than him.

He better start thinking again because I am completely different from all girls my age.

I hurriedly got up in front of the couch and stormed after him.

He was in already and I got in to find him at the wardrobe, ransacking through it.

I sat on the bed, and when he turned and saw me there, he was taken aback but quickly hid it.

He carried the clothes he had brought out from the wardrobe with him to the bathroom.

I waited for close to 20 minutes before he came out again, fully clad in casual wear.

I blushed hard at his handsomeness, admiring all his features.

I loved the way water dripped down from his wet hair, and fell to his face.

He picked up a comb from the dressing table and started combing it, a towel hanging down from his neck.

He shot me a glance and I quickly took my eyes elsewhere.

My eyes had been so fixated on him that I didn’t know when he turned.

He did all I think he had to do and started heading to the door.

To say I was shocked was an understatement.

How could he? Not even a word?.

I was speechless and my lips were left hanging.

Before he could open the door and go out, I ran there, standing in front of him.

He was shocked but only looked down at me.

” What’s this?” he groaned, his eyes spitting fire.

I got scared immediately but it was too late to back down, and even if I wanted to, there was no way to move my feet – they were completely glued to the ground.

” I… i. i wan.. I wanted to ask.. ask when…”

” Can’t you talk?” he barked, and I didn’t know when I started sweating.

Jeez!! How did I ever think I can face him?.

I clenched my fist tightly. It’s a good thing he hasn’t shoved me out of his way, and that gave me a little courage to say what I had in mind.

” I have something to say to you” I finally let out.

” I don’t have time for this. Make anything you want to say wait, we’ll discuss it later” he said sternly, but I didn’t budge.

I stood my ground and insisted.

” No. We have to discuss it now, or do you have somewhere you’re going to?” I was enthused.

” I don’t, but I have things to do” he bemoaned.

” Good. Do them later. We need to talk. Now!” I ordered, going back to sit on the bed.

He stared at me with a puzzled look on his face and I stared back, not scared.

He must be shocked at my behavior and I was glad I had made the impression I wanted him to have of me on him.

But I was amazed when his glares suddenly turned to smiles.

He walked slowly towards me, placing both of his hands in his pockets.

With a smirk plastered on his face, dangling from one side of his lip to the other, he bent slightly, placing his mouth to my left ear.

My breath arched and my heartbeat accelerated in ways I never thought was possible.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

His blue eyes stared deep into mine and my adrenaline formed, my heart beating fast and hard.

Damn!!! Why does he have to come so close? What does he have to say now?.

I bit my lower lips as his breath fanned my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

Goodness Ruby!! What the hell are you thinking of right now? I scolded subconsciously.

” Actually..” his angelic voice came in whispers, making the butterflies in my stomach dance for joy.

” I also have something I wanna discuss with you” he finished.

There was no room to be shocked, because whatever feeling I was having has completely overwhelmed how shocked I should be by this revelation.

He withdrew himself from me when he was done making this statement, and smirked again.

I stared at him, taking note of every move he was making.

The smirk left his face and he went back to the door, opened it and got out.

I did nothing to stop him this time around, because I couldn’t do anything. I was completely and deeply mesmerized by him. It was like a charm and I slowly began to regain myself when he was long gone.

Holy heavens!!.

What just happened back there.

I placed my palm on my chest to see how fast my heart was beating. After that, I placed both of my palms on both sides of my face to ease the tension I was feeling.

Oh, my!!.

It’s way too early to start feeling this way.

Hold on; I don’t feel anything for him right?.

Yeah, yeah, I don’t. I was just slightly captured by his beauty.

I still don’t understand how a guy would be so beautiful, even more than alot of girls.

It’s just too cute.

Jeez!!.

Nathan’s Pov;

Seeing her act that way reminded me of Ella.

They sure are agemates. I guess all teenagers act that way.

It’s annoying and yet cute at the same time. I had to get a grip of myself to avoid getting mad at her.

How could she think of blocking my path? And what, something to discuss? What could be so important that she couldn’t wait.

She looks so young and so vulnerable and it made my heart bleed for her.

It hurts me to see she’s gonna be in this hell hole for a marriage.

She doesn’t deserve any of this. She’s still too young and has her future laid out for her, but there’s nothing I can do since Dad wants this so bad.

So, taking the document with me, I walked out of the study, heading back to the room.

I was glad when I found her still there, still sitting on the spot I had left her.

She jerked up when the door came swinging open.

She looked up at me but quickly diverted her eyes.

It was so swift, that it made me wonder why she acted like that, but as usual, I cared less.

I walked slowly to her, the document on my palm. I stretched it to her when I got closer.

She stared up at me before looking back at the paper and collecting it from me.

She looked at it and I could see her jaws dropping in shock.

What the..??!!
