Otis x Ruby Fanfiction

Chapter 6

OTIS Point of View

Ruby's now different. Now that she is with me. Now that we know how much we loved each other. After we made love on our usual spot, she shares something about her childhood, her dad, her family. I never get to see this side of Ruby at school. It is something you can be proud of thinking that she only opened this things to me. Not even to Liv or Anwar.

I see her laugh more often now, I see her smile without hesitation. It's flattering really. Knowing that she is the most popular girl in school. The queen bee. Yet, she chose to have the company of a silly, awkward looking stick boy with unusually long arms. And the best part is, Ruby is not ashamed of my company now. Well, unlike before really. But now, it just feels magic.

I wish I could spend more time with her this evening. But unfortunately tomorrow we will be having the field trip in France. And we need to pack and prepare for the trip.

After dropping me off at home, I expected to meet again Ruby in my dreams just like the other night. Unfortunately, there were no dreams for this night as I think the reality is much more and far better.

Miss Sands and Mr. Hendricks would be our chaperone for this field trip. They expected to meet us early in the morning for our much anticipated field trip.

The students of Moordale were very much excited as I am, and before our calling time, the Bus were almost full. Only handful of students are now to be expected to arrive. I hopped on the Coach and see Ruby waiving to me. She reserved me a seat beside her. On our back, sits Anwar and Liv. Then on their Back, sits Maeve Wiley. I thought she won't be joining us for this trip, or so I thought.

Ruby realized I stared to Maeve way too long but doesn't make a fuss. Instead, she grabs my arms and positions me into her side as her human pillow.

Ruby: I thought you overslept.

There is a concern on her voice, but I reassured her with a grin and plants some kisses on her forehead.

Otis: I would never. I'm just right here.

The trip was long, almost half the day tops. One way. So, I let ruby sleep on my arms as we ride the trip. As she sleeps, I caught myself memorizing her facial features. Her skin was so soft and tanned in a not very visible way. Her lips were very moist I could almost kissed them in a heartbeat. Her hair is very soft and straight, I find myself touching the bits of hair that fell out of her ears. I tucked those hairs and I see her opened her eyes to meet mine.

Ruby: What are you doing, Otis?

Otis: Nothing. Just observing my girl sleep.

She grins but continues to sleep as if this was part of her amazing dream.
