Rekindled Love

Ruby & Eddie Ross

I couldn't get passed security anymore, they seemed to all have been notified of my constant appearances and necessity to see Ruby.

I bet it was Eddie fucking Ross who demanded they denied entrance to me unless I was severely sick or injured.

I caught glances of my Ruby here and there but either she didn't notice me or she tried to avoid me to spare her any embarrassment. It's understandable but I wouldn't be so damn persistent if she would just talk to me already.

"I don't want to, Nicolas, but I see your point." Athena says, her eyes were red and full of tears but she knew I didn't mean to cause this to her. "If you're going to get my baby girl back, she can't know we're still screwing each other."

"That's what I mean, Athena. Ruby needs to see I'm doing this for her but," I smile, wiping her tears. "For an older woman, you sure do have a rocking body but I just want Ruby now, I have to have her back in my arms." I love Athena but not as much as I love Ruby, Athena was great in bed and she's a great woman but I must do this for my Ruby.

"Let me know how it all goes out," She says, smiling brightly at the thought of seeing her daughter with me again even if she probably won't be able to get near us. I make a promise to her of winning Ruby back and walk out of her apartment with the only item that would remind me who Athena was to me and what she meant: an image of us.

It was the first photo we took when we started all of this. We were upstairs the day of Ruby's birthday celebration.

"Could we have a word?" Athena turns her head for a quick second, "In private?"

I furrow my eyebrows together but accept her request so I lead her to one of the guest rooms where the music was muffled by the walls.

The second I shut the door behind us, Athena sprints into action. I don't know what to do, much less how to react. My wife's mother has her lips on mine and for an unknown reason, my hand found its way behind her back and I kiss her back.

I should have known that day would've led to trouble. It was just a first kiss but I was stupid and asked her to keep it going and I'd make sure that my precious Ruby would never find out. I guess I fell for it since Athena had troubles with her husband and I...I wanted to get laid and Ruby wouldn't open her legs up ever since the miscarriage. That's what triggered me to have the damn affair.

She pauses to take a deep breath. "Please, Nicolas. Don't tell Ruby about the divorce.. or.. or the kiss for that matter."

I look at Athena, really looked at her. For an older woman, she sure was gorgeous and the kiss? A beautiful explosion that wraps itself on my lips.

I nod, "I won't. If," I smirk, a devious idea in mind. "If you kiss me again."

With that said, my arms wrap around her petite body and with full force, I kiss her senseless.

When we finished making out and thrusting ourselves into each other, we got dressed and hoped no one had heard the moaning cries of Athena calling my name and asking to go rougher. "I want to remember this day, Nicolas. I want to know this was the day our love blooms, take a photo with me?"

"Of course, mon ange." I take my place beside her and smile for her camera. "The first photo of many, my dearest Athena."

She must've had it printed because a week later, she handed me a copy of it but I kept it in her apartment since Ruby would surely see it at home but now I have to take it with me.
