Otis x Ruby Fanfiction

Chapter 1

Ruby Point of View

Otis is such a lovely boy. The moment he saw my home as well as my dad, he didn't freak out. I do not know, maybe he is the "One". I have been out of my comfort zone lately, all for him. Well, maybe this is what all they say. Everything doesn't matter anymore when you're in love?

I dialed his phone number, it rang for a bit and he picked up.

Otis: Hey

Ruby: My dad was so embarrassing tonight, I'm so sorry about that.

Otis: It's fine. It's fine. He's a ...he's a funny guy.

Ruby: Yeah, he is kind of a great, isn't he? Anyway, thanks for helping me out. You're the best.

Otis: It's no problem. I had a good time.

Ruby: I'm glad.

I saw my reflection in the mirror, I am all smiles. Otis brings all the best in me. I can definitely see myself with him.

Ruby: Okay. Night then, Otis.

Otis: Good night, Rubes.

Rubes. My dad only calls me that, but somehow now, that's what he calls me. There's a rush in me, I have to say it to him now. I have to. I have to risk it, to know his true feelings for me. And fingers crossed, hoping he also feels the same way.

Ruby: I love you.

I said it. I only said it to him ever. I saw my expression again in the mirror in front of me in my room, the smile I had before was nothing to what I have now the moment I said it to him.

Wait. There's been a hesitation. He doesn't responded to it immediately. Was he shocked? Did he love me? Did he not? My heart's definitely raising more than ever. I wish he feels the same. Then, my thought was distracted by his response.

Otis: I love you too, Rubes. Good night. I guess I see you tomorrow.

Ruby: Okay. See you tomorrow then, Otis.

I hang up the phone and that was the most memorable phone call I had ever had. Otis loves me. He loves me. Our conversation keeps repeating in my brain. I am never happy like this before ever. Otis loves me ... back.
