Drop Dead Gorgeous - a Ruby Rose novel [GxG] ♡

Life Is A Movie

As she wiggled from under Ruby's touch, her bare feet touched the cold ground and immediately flinched at the unpleasant contact. Somehow none of this felt real to her, maybe it was because of the fact that she dreamt all of the previous happenings, or maybe because she wasn't sure what she was feeling. This was the first time in reality she entered Langenheim's home and met Ruby in person, yet the girl was throwing herself on her almost desperately. 

-Where are you going? - Ruby moved her eyes from the screen and looked at Vienna. 

-The bathroom. - which was connected to the room. Unfortunately.

-Okay, but be quick. The best part is coming. 

-Fine. - she sighed and closed the door behind her when she entered the bathroom. 

She stared at her reflection in the mirror for a while, adjusting her hair and fixing her makeup, she herself was unaware why. It was dark in the room, Ruby was barely even looking at her and she was tired anyway, no makeup could cover that. She was scared. Scared that all of this was a dream, too, that Ruby was going to slip out of her fingers like last time and that she'd have to start all over again and she didn't like re-runs. Even though this was her favorite movie she was starring in, she didn't want to change anything except maybe she would fast forward to the part where they're in a happy relationship, always together and there for each other. But then again, she wondered... What if there is no happy ending? What if this movie that is called life ends tragically for one or even both of them? What if the protagonist loses everything? Vienna was aware that in everything we do in life, there are some bumps on the road we all have to pass. That we shouldn't let obstacles stop us from getting to our goals. But she was afraid that she won't be able to pass those obstacles and that she'd be stuck in one place forever. What if-

Knock knock. 

-Vienna? Babe, are you okay? - Ruby's voice broke her from her thoughts.

-I'll be out in a minute!

-Hurry up! I miss you here.

This was all too good to be true. 

Vienna practically stomped from the bathroom, back into the room which startled and confused Ruby a bit. 

-Whoa, what happened? Are you okay? - Ruby asked her.

-What the fuck is happening?!

Ruby raised an eyebrow. - We're... Watching... A movie? 

-No, I mean, with me. With you. With us-

-Whoa whoa whoa. Babe, we did kiss but no need to be clingy. Us? I just invited you to watch some movies I didn't think you'd bite in that hard. Gosh-

-Ruby... You know what? Fuck you. - she collected her things and walked out the door. - Goodbye Mrs. Langenheim, thanks for the dinner. - with her mother trailing behind her, utterly confused. 

-Vienna, what happened?- her mother asked. - Did you girls fight?

-No, mom. I'm just tired. Let's go to bed, it's late.

When she got into her room, Vienna immediately walked to her window and noticed Ruby standing by her own window and staring at her. Without a word, she pulled the curtains and adjusted them so the sunlight wouldn't bother her in the morning. Or at least, that's her excuse. 

***

She didn't need to bother with them since it was a rainy day. Actually, it was raining heavily and thunderstorms were so loud they could scare the bravest man. Vienna didn't want to get out of bed, even though her alarm clock notified her it was time to get up and start working. She found herself a job at a flower shop just around the corner. Her father knew the owner, they were good friends so he asked him if he could take Vienna as his assistant. Of course, the man who went by the name Vincent accepted Mr. Costello's offer and hired the beautiful young lady. 

The girl cursed under her breath as the strong wind bent her umbrella and ruined it, leaving her soaking wet and cold, so she walked faster towards the nearby flower shop. She threw the destroyed umbrella into the bin and took off her leather jacket. She was shaking from the cold and the fact she was all wet, from head to toe. Her makeup was probably smudged and her hair looked like crap, but she didn't care. Not even the two cups of black coffee couldn't dispel the tiredness she felt. 

Hours passed unbelievably slow. She was bored to death and unbelievably tired. She just wanted to go back to bed and sleep the whole day but every time she glanced at the clock, it seemed like she had more and more hours of work left. Barely two customers walked inside, both extremely annoying and impatient, which made her day even worse.

Finally, half an hour left and then she was free to go home. She couldn't wait to get to her room, just to take off all of her clothes, shower and then sleep until she has to go to work again. She slowly began packing up and cleaning, hoping no one else would come to the shop since it was still terrible outside and barely anyone was out, except for the people who had to go to work. Then, the little bell above the door rang and notified her somebody entered the shop. She sighed from disappointment when she was met with the most beautiful pair of brown eyes she had ever seen. 

-Hi. - and that smile, oh that smile...

-Hello. How can I help you? - she immediately smiled, too, relieved that someone normal actually came. 

-I'm buying flowers for my mom, it's her birthday, so... 

-I've got just the right one! - she pulled out the most beautiful bouquet she had. - What about this one?

-Perfect, she'll love it! - she noticed his British accent and dimples on his cheeks. 

-That would be 24.95$.

-Here, keep the change. 

-Thank you. 

-Actually, give me another bouquet. 

-Oh, what kind of flowers, for who is it?

The boy started looking around himself until his eyes landed on a pretty bouquet of blue roses. - I like these, I'll take it.

-Okay, 23.35$- she gave him the bouquet and he gave it back to her.

-It's for the most beautiful girl I've seen in my entire life. Here you go. 

Vienna blushed immediately and smiled at the ground shyly, which George found adorable. 

-I'm George. 

-Vienna.

-I love your name.. May I have your number then, Vienna?

-I think you may. 

It was just like in the movies, the romantic meeting scene. The handsome guy finally asks for the number of the beautiful girl. But every movie and every book has a antagonist. In this case, the antagonist isn't some scary old witch or strict parent, it's only a woman who fell in love at first sight.
