Chapter 3:

Marcus:

I was worried, I hadn’t heard from her all day, my beautiful ruby-rose. It was a strange thing when I didn’t hear from her, normally it meant that she was having a hard time at home or she was annoyed at something I did that I didn’t realise I had done. Ruby-rose was really a lot of work, but I loved her, even though I shouldn’t, I knew if the father found out he wouldn’t be pleased, but it was my duty to keep her from falling, and if that meant her loving me, so be it

I heard a bell chime in the corner of my room, it was already three o’clock already. That did it, I was going to check up on her, she would have normally found a way to contact me by now if something was wrong. I got up quickly running as fast as I could to her house. By the time I got there I was exhausted, I took a few deep breaths and then knocked on the door.

To my luck she answered on the first knock, unfortunately she was grouchy and answered it with a very rude “What!” I couldn’t believe my eyes. She was wearing just a t-shirt and underwear, I kept my face calm, trying not to blush, or show the excitement I was feeling. I tried to rely but before I did she spoke “oh I’m sorry” she said, her cute little face turning the most adorable shade of pink “I didn’t realise it was you” I smiled at her, she always was the only one I had ever known who could make me smile this way “I don’t mind” I told her truthfully, as I took her in my arms “the view is a plus”

I saw her roll her eyes, which made my smiled widen “come inside” she said, pulling me inside and shutting the door behind us. “So” I said, wanting to make sure she was ok “where is your mum?”

“Ah” she said “she’s out, she will be home later” I could tell by the look in her eyes, she was lying

“Where has she gone?” I asked, knowing full well that if she was still home she would have said that her mum was off visiting her friend angelica

“Don’t know” she shrugged, that was her brush off for something bad has happen, but I knew she would tell me when she was ready

“Well, that’s good for us” I said, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her. I always felt her smile when I kissed her, I knew I made her happy, which made me happy in turn

After a few moments she pulled back and simply said “I love you” her hand cupping my face, I had always loved when she did that “I love you to” I replied, smiling into her beautiful eyes. We stood there for several minutes, not saying a word, she looked as if she had something on her mind. I needed to know what it was, but I knew she wouldn’t tell me if I asked directly

“You seem distracted” I told her, not able to keep the feeling that something, or someone was watching us

“Oh, just lost in thought” she said, smiling at me. I knew that smile, that was her something is wrong but I don’t want talk about it yet smile, I knew that meant the best thing I could do was nothing right now, she would open up when she was ready, that had always been her way “well lets distract you from those thoughts shell we” I told her, grinning cheekily at her

“my my” she said, grinning just as cheekily back at me “I believe I was thinking the same thing” giggling, she lead me up to her room, closing the door softly behind us.

Hours later, she lay in my arms, smiling blissfully, her face snuggled deep into my chest. These were the moments I could never lose. I knew it was wrong, I knew a man like me shouldn’t lay with a women like her, but I didn’t care, I loved her, I just hoped the father would understand, that he wouldn’t punish me like he had others.

“I love you” I told her, kissing her softly on the forehead

“I love you to” she said, smiling up at me, I leant in to kiss her, that’s when I head the door slam
