Chapter 2 (Independent life)

Ruby woke up to the sound of her phone ringing and the caller was Louis so she picked up the call and answered half asleep “hello” in a sleepy voice and heard a chuckle from the other line making her wake up fully.

“Are you still not awake yet petit breakfast is almost done so you need to get ready before I finish so hurry up” Louis said as he was cooking since the sound of something being fried was heard over the phone.

“ How many times have I told you not to call me that but I’ll let it slide since I’m hungry, I’m hanging up now since I need to shower.” Ruby cut the call and quickly went to take a bath so she can go over to Louis’s apartment and have breakfast.

It’s been two months since they first and they grow closer and they spend more time together than your average couple it’s almost like they live together.

They even have a routine of eating together in the morning and in the evening since Louis goes to work all afternoon but he still leave lunch for her before leaving and she waits for him to come back at his place.

And ever since he came into her life there has never been a dull moment and it has helped her come up with great ideas for her story and since her deadline is still very far she has the confidence that she can finish it before then.

Everything has been going great for Ruby so she couldn’t help but feel grateful for Louis coming into her life. After she finished getting dressed she made her way over to Louis’s apartment and since she knows his password she easily has access to his apartment so she made her way inside.

“ Honey what’s for breakfast your husband is starving” she says as she goes straight into the kitchen to see Louis already ready to set up the table. And as always Louis was as good looking as he always has been and since he is half French and half American his looks were not plain at all, he had blonde hair and beautiful gray eyes making it hard not to fall for him.

It is such an honor to sit across such a beautiful man and eating delicious food every day Ruby thought to herself before Louis lightly hits her head and asks her “ what are you in a daze for husband, your wife has prepared some food for so come and eat”, they both made their way to the table to have breakfast.

As they ate Louis stared at Ruby as she ate and smiled thinking she looked cute as she ate like she was in heaven while moaning as she took each bite of food making him wonder how she would moan if she ate something else, something must more bigger.

“ What are you staring at instead of eating your food, it will get cold if you don’t eat it quickly” Ruby said to him making him snap out of his dirty thoughts. “ I was just thinking how cute you look when you’re eating.” He smiled at her as she pouted at what he said making her look even cuter.

Louis really didn’t plan on spending this much time with Ruby but ever since they met there has never been a dull day and he ended up getting a little fond of her not to speak of how defenseless she is around him making him want to tease her more but since she said she trusts him he surprisingly felt a little warm about it inside.

After they finished eating they both Ruby gathered the plates to put them in the sink but Louis stopped her by saying “ where are you going what about my reward”.

Ruby went to drop the plates in the sink before going back to reply to Louis asking him “ what reward are you talking about” she looked confused because she doesn’t know what he was talking about.

Louis walked up to Ruby and then said “ my reward for being a good wife and waking you up and also making you breakfast so I need a reward maybe something like a kiss will do” as he said that, Ruby blushed even though he normally teases her like that she still can’t get use to it.

She just quickly give him a peck on the cheek and then ran to the kitchen while Louis laughed at her shyness before going to his room to get ready for work.

After he changed and came out he found Ruby sitting on the couch watching TV with his Sara sleeping on her lap, he told her he was leaving for work but she didn’t look back at him and only said goodbye to him since she was still embarrassed about earlier.

As soon as he left she held Sara up and rubbed her face on her tummy startling her then bringing her to face her and said “ Sara what’s wrong with your owner how can he tease me like that, if he continues like this I might catch feelings” but Sara only meowed at her with a deadpan look on her face (what Sara was saying was that she already has caught feelings lol) before escaping from her grasp to look for a peaceful place to sleep.

Ruby’s phone started ringing and she was surprised to see that it was her mother calling not like her mother and her were on bad terms but she hardly calls on a weekday so she picks up the phone and answered it.

“Hello sweetie how have you been doing? Are you really to come back home dear.” her mother asked her like she always does making Ruby sigh because every time her mom calls she always ask the same question.

“ Hi mom, I’m doing fine and no I’m not coming back home but I was planning to visit soon to see how dad was doing since he won’t pick up my calls” Ruby was worried about her father since they were very close but when she said she wanted to leave the house her father stopped talking to her but she knew he did it because he was hurt but she wants him to accept her choice.

“Your father is fine dear but you know that he loves that’s why he wants you back home so don’t worry about him but I called you for something else it’s about your bank account and since you said you wanted to leave independently I decided to cancel your credit card so you can fully experience the life of Independence”.

Ruby’s eyes widened as she heard her mothers words, how could her mother do that to her without any notice, it’s not like she’s against it but she could have at least said something about it first. Luckily she paid the rent in advance unless she would have been thrown out .

“Mom you can’t just do that wit-“ Rudy couldn’t finish her statement because her mother cut her off by saying “goodbye baby talk to you soon love you” then cutting the call before Ruby could get any word in.

“Madam Sasha Garcia how could you do this to me what am I going to do now it’s not like can keep depending on Louis for everything, what if he thinks I’m leeching off him, no I need to look for a job soon but before that I should buy some eggs for Louis since I want them for dinner and his out of eggs” Ruby went back to her apartment to get a jacket before going downstairs to buy some eggs with the cash she had with her.

Going inside the convenience store she saw the owner of the store Mr. Martin yelling at the person on the phone “ why would you leave like that without telling me in advance, do you think this is a joke, now where can I find a part-timer who work your shift huh” when she heard the word part-timer she quickly went back to the owner.

“Excuse me Mr. Martin but I happened to hear that you need a part-timer and I was wondering if I could fill in for the job” she asked him once he finished talking on the phone.

“Thank goodness you’re hired, you can start tomorrow you don’t know how grateful I am” Mr. Martin looked relieved because he found an employee right after the old one ran off and Ruby was happy that she could solve her money issue on time making her return to Louis’s apartment with the eggs and some peace of mind.
