Gloves And Us ✔

T R U T H

I was kicked out of my own house. My damn house. It was her who kept me silent or I was gonna burn my goddamn sister. She was so fucking annoying. I had seen other sisters who were nice to their brothers and then it was her.
Fucking monster.

"What is it, man?" Silas asked, sipping his scotch.

"Shut up" I grunted hearing him and Ryan laugh at me. Currently, we are at Ryan's house. They were having scotch whereas I was enjoying my coke.

"Ruth anything you wanna say?" I glared and he stifled his laugh.

"No boss. You're gonna kill me if I do"

"Exactly" he paled and sipped his drink and averted his gaze from us making me smirk.

"What has gotten in you, man? Becoming too soft" Sil said.

"Instead, say he's becoming more protective over her. You should have seen him losing his temper at that guy" Ryan told him.

"Shut up y'all." I need to hold her in my arms now. It was getting too much and I was already missing her. Stupid Esmee and her stupid friends.

"I never thought you'd be soft for somebody," Ruth said, passing me a smile.

"Me too" I declared lowly and the sound of 'ooos' and 'pussy' echoed in the bar.

"Look at you. I think you'll marry her soon" Ryan said, fanning himself.

"She needs time. I can't be selfish and besides, I don't know if she wants to marry me" The latter sentence left a bitter taste in my mouth and I fisted the tissue in my hand.

"Even a stupid person can point out how much she loves you. It fucking shows man" Silas said boredly and the rest of them nodded.

love? hmm.
Love.

"What about you Ruth? Got any?" I asked, bringing the glass to my lips enjoying the carbonated taste and simultaneously trying to stir away from the conversation about us that was making me miss her even more.

"Not yet boss" he grunted, shaking his head.

"Desperate hoe" I mumbled.

"I fucking know right! Look at him being a desperate bitch." Ryan pointed and Silas nodded.

"It's because of both of you. Your sweet shit is making me a desperate bitch. My mom is already eating my head and taunting me. I swear Asian moms and their taunts" We all laughed at his misery.
Mom.
It was time to invite them and show them my darling. I don't remember the last time I invited them over dinner. After that incident, I had stopped being friendly with people, even my family, and no amount of hearty talks worked.

After a moment, Silas spoke up. "I heard you've got someone," he said pointing at Ryan who choked on his drink and coughed heavily.

"Who the fu-" he stopped and turned to me. "Mommy can't keep her mouth shut" narrowing my eyes at him, he elaborated. "I told your girl about it" he rolled his eyes.

"You call her that?" Ruth asked and laughed out loud when Ryan nodded. Silas broke into a grin.

"Why?" Sil questioned trying to stifle his laugh.

"That's our secret" Fucking piece of shit.

"What about your crush, Ryan?" Ruth brought back attention to it after his failed attempt of trying to get away with it.
