"No, it is a Purity ring."

"A Purity ring? What does that mean?"

I knew what it meant vaguely, but I needed to be sure we were talking about the same type of Purity rings.

"Yes, it means I can only engage a reproductive life after I am married."

"What the fuck" I blurted out laughing and shaking my head slowly.

"Excuse me?"

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. Did I just say fuck in front of Luke?

Yes you fucking did, morron.

"What?" I asked innocently, hoping he'd take in my angelic facet.

"Did you just swear?"

"What? No."

"Yes, yes you did Ruby." He remarked sternly. What the fuck is he doing? What the fuck am I doing? I can say fuck whenever I want, he's not the boss of me. Well, letting him know I'm not exactly a god person will only make my goal harder but not impossible. I think. God damnit, I need to fix this.

"Fine, I did. But I didn't mean to."

"It was rather offensive. Swear words are unpolite and do not suit anyone, especially a lady."

Of course he would be this type of guy.

"I'm sorry. It slipped."

He kept his gaze in mine and I got lost for a few seconds. I felt like I was being scolded by a parental figure and all I wanted to do was laugh and just flip him off. I won't deny there was something rather attractive in the whole strict and dominating attitude he seemed to be adopting right there, but deep down I knew he wasn't being dominating nor strict - he was being a fucking Puritan who could not hear a damn curse. If he weren't my precious little diamond, I would so bicker with him over this stupid ass attitude.

"If I get on my knees, will you forgive me?"

I screamed internally at the statement I had just put out. He was fucking clueless about what I had implied when I said I would get on my knees and that made me laugh hysterically. I began imagining myself getting down on my knees in front of him and fiddling with the hem of his dreadful pants. Maybe I could unbutton them with my mouth.

"You do not have to do that, Ruby. But you really should not be swearing, it is really un-lady like. I mean, it is un-christian like. And it even should be un-human like."

I fought with myself over keeping this small quarrel going, explaining him that they're just damn words, but I really don't want to be deep in shit so I decide to shut the fuck up and go with the flow.

"I agree with you, I shall never do it again. I guess it just stuck in my mind because I heard someone say it on the street."

He smiled gently and I felt rewarded for keeping my big mouth shut.

"So, tell me about that Purity ring of yours." I say, battling with my muscles not to laugh my butt off again.

"There is not much to tell. My mother gave it to me when I turned fifteen because she knew that is when boys start to develop their so called strongest hormones - I like to call them the Devil's call", he says proudly with a smile. I start to question if I really want him that much, "- and I have been faithful to it."

"So you're still a virgin...?" I half ask, half state.

"Why yes, that is the whole point of the ring.", he chuckles, "so are you, am I right?", he inquires.

Why am I being so retarded today? Ruby, you're not supposed to sound so suprised, you also are a fucking virgin, don't fucking forget it for fuck's sake.
