Ruby
I was still kissing her. Her lips were soft, strawberry-flavored. My kiss was rough, but still, she couldn't resist it. After that call with Max, she was mad. She literally bit my neck, my collarbone, my arm. She was currently chewing my arm—she's a rabbit, no doubt.
"Are you done with my arm, Aveline Vale?"
She pinched me.
"Excuse me," I said. I'm the mafia, the damn mafia people usually fear.
And this girl—she, she was biting me like I'm nothing, her toy!
I cupped her face and kissed her 'cause she wasn't listening to me. Punishment she deserved.
"Ah!" she moaned under her breath.
"You idiot, why did you just bite me? Look, it's bleeding."
"Ain't you the one who was chewing me like I'm some kind of dessert...?"
She giggled and pecked my lips and ordered me—she, that demon, just ordered me—to put her down and take her to the dessert shop as I promised.
Isn't that dessert enough for her…?
Whatever. I gently put her down and opened the passenger door for her.
She sat down, and I was driving, but before that, I said, "Hey, I'm not done yet."
"What do you mean, Ruby...?"
She was clearly shocked.
"I mean, I wanted to kiss her more, sooo..."
And before she could continue, I kissed her one last time.
"I promise, LAST TIME."
"Now can we go...?" she asked, pretending to be mad but couldn't help—she was smiling.
I smirked and drove to the most expensive bakery in the city.
We entered. She was acting like a child. She's adorable tho.
She said, "Ruby, here, look—this one for me, and this one for sis, and this one as well."
"Sure, sure. Take whatever you want."
She smiled at me and chose lots of dessert.
"Aveline, Mireline lava cake...? Here—three cakes."
I just sighed and asked the worker about the bill.
She asked, "Are you guys a couple? Don't mind me—you guys are just adorable."
I looked at Aveline and said, "Yeh, something like that."
Well, I take it as a compliment. Not a couple—yet.
I was driving back to Aveline's villa. She was looking at the sky—so beautiful. In today's world, in pollution, a sky with stars was very rare...? She was looking at them. I stopped the car 'cause that was a rare view she was enjoying.
I don't need to take her picture. I already did—in my mind. Just need to show it in paints.
She was looking very beautiful. I stood behind her and gently pulled her hair tie. She was very beautiful. I was watching her as she was running freely.
After some time, we both sat, and she—she was smiling very happily and kissed me. Well, out of joy. I held her and whispered, "Let's go, it's getting late."
She nodded, and we went to her villa. Mireline was waiting for us. We sat, and she was looking at us like we committed a sin.
Aveline said, "Sis, what's wrong...? Why are you looking at us like that?"
"She's just curious, Aveline. Right, Mireline?"
"Yeh, that's why I wanted to know why the hell did my sister get a hickey. I assume something happened while you both were outside."
"Sis, well, that's nothing. Don't overthink," Aveline said in a nervous voice.
Well, Mireline wasn't mad. She was happy. Weird...
"Well, anyway, I'm heading home. You guys enjoy your treat. And Mireline—your sister is just sooo sweet."
I winked at her 'cause I know she knows what I was saying.
I went back to my villa, and to my surprise, Max was already waiting for me. He understands me, so he didn't scold me—nothing.
We both were sitting in my living room. He was waiting for me to start the conversation.
I told him about me and Aveline—everything. And that kiss. He wasn't surprised at all. Like he already knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
"Are you in love, Ruby?"
I lightly chuckled and said, "Me and love are never meant for each other. Our love—not possible, Max."
He sighed and said,
"Ruby, the one who doesn't believe in love is the one who cries for someone. Just pray that you don't fall in love. 'Cause if you fall in love, then you choose death. Love makes you cry harder and harder for someone.
If you fall, just pray that you got that person. 'Cause if you can't get it, then this love—the same one you're confidently saying is never meant for each other—will gonna make you cry, I bet.
Try not to fall harder. Not yet. You don't know what's next."
He freaking left, I was processing his words I dunno if I'm in love no that can't be possible me and love no Impossible.
But max he said, just pray that you don't fall harder,the one who didn't believe in love,if you fall pray you got that person.
Dammit Max Daniel Sun!
