Sold To Mr President

“I am sorry, I did not mean to scare you, please, forgive me,” Collins muttered.

Blinking severally, Ruby tried her very best to maintain her head above the water, it is kind of awkward, but then, she didn’t want to kill herself.

“It’s alright, cab I just go home? must I go to the hospital? like I said, I am doing alright, believe me, about that, I am more than doing fine,” she murmured.

Collins glared at the lady sitting in front of him with disbelief. She had just said she has a mild headache, and if he doesn’t do anything, the girl might go home and cry in pain caused by a severe headache. Well, the real deal is, many people who suffer from accidents don’t really know if they are doing alright that very day, sometimes, it takes time, more than they could have ever imagined, and just thinking about it is horrible, more than what they can ever think about, and that is the most horrific incident that Collins can ever think about, it is just so bad.

Collins lifted his head to meet Ruby’s gaze, her beautiful pair of eyes matched his own, and seriously, it was the best that he had seen in a very long time. Ruby had almond eyes, they were bright, and her emotions were easily displayed over it. Thinking about it now, it is adorable and he thinks that he can’t simply get enough of it. No! there is no damn way that he can ever get enough of the lady’s rich grey eyes and he was so much immersed in them that when she cleared her throat trying to gain his attention.

It has to be something either said, or done, but as Ruby didn’t say anything, he kind of cocked his head to the right sight, waiting for it to be filled with the lady’s voice, but when he didn’t hear anything, he was forced to ask,

“What was that for?”

Ruby who was just simply staring at him asked in her light and sweetened voice, “What was what, Mr. Gentleman?” Ruby demanded.

Collins rolled her eyes, she is kind of awkward, and the way her voice sounded in his head is just pure fantasy to his soul. He enjoys each letter that combines to form a word in the girl’s throat, it is just the best thing had seen and heard in a long time, and nothing can beat that, absolutely nothing at all.

Sighing, he decided to talk about what he had heard. “Nothing, I thought I heard you groan, if that was the case, that means your head must really be hurting you. I am sorry about that,” he confessed.

Through out his speech, he didn’t leave Ruby’s eyes, instead, he held it firmly, it was kind of the beautiful pair of grey eyes he had got to see in a very long time, and truth be told it was expressive. Presently, her eyes looked like she was going to cry, well, that is the way it has always been since he first saw her opening her eyes just that, now, they will more glistening than ever, the eyes were just so bright, and there is nothing he can do about it, absolutely nothing at all.

Ruby also admired Collins in the same manner in which she is being admired, like seriously, she found him handsome, and for a minute she almost asked if he had a girlfriend or wanted to take her in for a short period of time. In fact, she just wanted to think about anything that will make her run away from Ethan. But then, at the mention of the name Ethan, Ruby shivered in fear.

Ethan Smith is scary, he is someone that they cannot get away from him easily because he is always going to track the person down and deal with them mercilessly. Ruby had witnessed Ethan kill people before, it had happened in front of her, and the effect was horrible, more than he can think about it the trouble of just having someone who is a criminal ache her a lot. But then, the way Ethan had pointed the gun at her, she thought she was going to die she knew that was the fact that was waiting for her.

That night had made Ruby scared, it will forever be engraved in her mind because it had given her a scar in her mind, more than she can ever think about. Thinking about it is made Ruby shudder, and unfortunately, Collins had caught her doing too.

The first thing that ran through his mind was that the lady had caught a cold. Well, the evening was cold, and it was already running late. It is only normal for the evening breeze to be too harsh and consume her entire body this much__ so he thought.

Only if he had known the truth, it is far that he is thinking about it, and unless she tells her the truth, he wouldn’t know about it. Making his voice to be light and cheesy, Collins tried apologizing for making her wait too long out here, and also to stay here without doing anything.

“I am sorry I made you spend so much time out here, I am also sorry that I almost ran into you too, but please, I pray thee, find a place in your heart to forgive me, I truly apologize about this, and if you can do that, I will be so happy and pleased. By the way, if you still want it, I can help you put you know? By taking you to the hospital, allow a doctor or a nurse to run some tests on you to be completely sure that you are only, by the way, I promise you, it will not take much of your time, and later, you can go home, also, before I forget, I will take you home, and I promise, I wouldn’t crash this car, or make an accident on the way, believe me,” Collins said gently.

He aimed to gain the lady’s trust, nothing more, he knows that if he allows the girl here, maybe something might happen or she might even get stalked by these gangsters. That will be very bad, and he knows about it.

Ruby who had heard these crazy plans wished that it was true, but no! that is a lie, such things don’t happen like that, this was simply going to put her in trouble. She was wise not to let a young man like the one in front of her face fool her. It is going to be weird but then, even thinking about it is something he doesn’t want to get in his head, not at all.

Collins noticed that the petite lady in front of her wasn’t ready to say anything, more like she had zoomed out of consciousness.

“Hey! are you alright? you look a little bit disturbed,” Collins called out at her.

Ruby blinked severally trying to maintain her eyes on him, it was kind of awkward, but then, she needs to keep her eyes wide open, like no other.

“Yes, I am alright, just a little bit, tired. If you don’t mind, can I go now?” Ruby asked.

It was at this moment that she realized she had groceries with her, and as she looked around, she discovered that her foodstuffs were scattered almost everywhere. The first time she looked at him, it was kind of frustrating, she widened her eyes, Ruby knew that she was in trouble, there is no doubt that she is in big trouble. The first thing that Ruby did was to blink severally to avoid the tears from flowing down her cheeks, she was supposed to be strong and brave, there is no way that she is going to cry, absolutely no way.

The issue is, all the groceries were lying almost everywhere besides her and on their road and it caused a pang of a headache to crease her forehead. Firstly, she has spoiled all the groceries, and as if that is not enough, she has not returned home by now, she didn’t even know what time it is, or what will even be her fate, but then, just thinking about it is enough to make her mind blown off, there is no doubt about it, and by the time she gets home and fins Ethan there, she will be good to say her last prayers. There is no doubt that Ethan will beat her, so it is better that she collects the beaten now and be over with it, than for Ethan to wait for her and don’t see her, and then decides to come and look for her.

Like seriously, it is going to be horrible drama that no one is ready to face, especially not her. This is because Ethan will deal with her mercilessly, there is no point in hiding anything at all because Ethan will always find out. He is the leader of his team, he is smart, and his sixth sense always helps in a lot, more than anything he had ever got to witness on earth.

It is bad, really bad that she needs to do something about it, and with immediate effect. If she doesn’t do it, she is only finding trouble for herself, and it is the worse one, something that will bring her to her early grave.

Creasing her forehead, Ruby tried to maintain her gaze on the young man in front of her. It wa kind of strange, but hen, she decided to ask even though her lips were heavy,

“Excuse me please, what time is it?” Ruby asked gently.

Her voice was shaky indicating that she is afraid, but then, she didn’t care, the only thing that interests her is the fact that she has to say something, it is more worth than worth she can think of. At least, if she knows the time, it will determine if Ethan is at home or not, and then, she can use her common sense to go home, there is nothing else to do now especially when the time is hidden from her.

Collins heard her ask the time, it was bizarre but then he didn’t bother, all he had to do us to carry his hand up and check his wristwatch. He had the latest brand of the Rolex watch, it was cool to look at it, and the golden color of the watch was rich. It was kind, and there is nothing she can do about it, nothing at all.

“Alright, the time is eleven forth five p. m. is there any problem?” Collins called out.

The moment Ruby heard the time, her heart tripped in her chest, it was annoying, the worst thing she has ever done in her entire life. To stay out this late.

Ruby’s heart was now beating severally, but then, it brushed away, there is nothing she can do about it. Ruby’s reaction was kind of alarming, it was quick, she couldn’t believe that things could turn out so much but then, it has happened, so she only needs to freak out.

“Oh my fucking lord, I can not believe that I have wasted so much time, I have to get out of this place, I seriously need to start going home,” Ruby complained as she glared at him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

There is no doubt that she is going to be a corpse before the evening runs out, there is no doubt about that, absolutely none, and even though she tried focusing on the present, it didn’t stop the tears from streaking down her eyes.

“Ohh no! I have to get these groceries in the bag and leave now, like seriously,” Ruby complained as she tried her best to brush her mind from Collins. There is no doubt that she has wasted too much time, and now she has to amend it and go home.
