Chapter Three:
Ruby's P.O.V:
My heavy tired eyes flew open to the sound of my alarm, which pierced my hungover brain. Slamming a hand down on the machine it all went silent and I relaxed again settling in to drift off back to sleep for another hour. That was until a strong arm wrapped around my waist and my eyes flew open memories of the night before flooding back into my brain. I turned around and saw Rick still happily asleep. I took a peek under the blanket and saw I was stark naked. 'Oh shit,' I let out a deep sigh face palming myself, I had really gone and done it now hadn't I?. 'Rick wake up,' I glanced at the clock and saw it was 7:45AM 'It's almost 8am, Lori will be wondering where you were all night.' Rick didn't budge I prodded his arm that was now hugging his pillow.... still nothing, 'RICK!' I raised my voice and he shot up.
'I'm awake..' He looked around startled until his eyes fell on me. 'R-Ruby,' I swear I saw him replaying the night before in his mind as his face moulded into that of shock. 'Oh shit.' I nodded my agreement 'Shit, Ruby I-I don't even know what to say.'
'Don't say anything we were both drunk and our common sense went out the window, lets just agree to forget this ever happened. it was a mistake.'
'You really think that?' He asked I nodded 'Rick your married, we should never have...'
'I know, I'm sorry but I can't say this was a mistake, Ruby I was drunk last night, true but I sill meant everything, but yes I shouldn't have pursued my feeling while married to someone else.'
'What are we going to do?'
'I- I really don't know, I mean,' He ran his hands up over his face and continued through his hair. 'We uh... I can't leave my wife.' I gave a nod while I wrapped the covers around myself and got to my feet.
'I understand, like I said lets just forget this happened, never to be mentioned again.' He nodded.
'I'm so sorry Ruby.'
'No, we both made this happen so don't feel bad, lets just start with the moving on. Lori will be wondering where you w-' and as if on cue his phone started ringing. he grabbed it out his pocket and answered.
'Lori hey, I am so sorry. I got pretty drunk last night and I didn't want to come and wake you or Carl up so Ruby gave me her couch to sleep on.' A paused while he listened to her response. 'I know I should have but that would have woke you up too.... A text? Lori I could hardly walk let alone type out a coherent text to you. I am sorry okay but I will be home soon, okay bye.' After he hung up he looked to me, 'Looks like I'm stuck in that dog house a while longer.'
'Listen you go in and get ready first so you can get home.'
'Thanks Ruby.' He stepped over to me placing a hand on my shoulder and it took all I had to not grab him and kiss him or more. I just gave a sharp nod and stepped to the side to let him past. When he went in and I heard the shower running I grabbed some sweat pants and a tank top that I used for lounging in and went in search for the rest of our clothes which I found in a trail all along the hall down the stairs starting at the front door. it seems we were to impatient to wait to get to the bedroom. Once I gathered everything I placed mine in the laundry and Ricks on the bed waiting for him coming out of the shower.
Sitting on the bed I grab my phone I was in two minds to talk to Kenzie about what had happened. I could trust her, that wasn't my issue, my issue is that if I told someone else, I couldn't pretend it didn't happen, I couldn't pretend I wasn't a bad person for sleeping with another woman's man, as much as I disliked Lori no one deserves to be cheated on. My gut twisted with guilt and I threw my phone on my bed, this one was secret I had to keep to myself.
