Shawn
Chapter twenty three
I pout all the way to the restaurant.
Damn it, I love Ruth but really I seriously don't want to do this. Why me.
The only up to this is that babe looks hot. Like dang. More than hot, even. She's the most gorgeous human I have ever seen.
She's wearing dark skinny jeans with a red tank top, her long hair pulled back into a ponytail as she drives us to Buzzs BBQ. I offered to drive but she insisted since she just now got her license.
We meet liz and Dean there, getting seated at a booth.
Ruth holds my hand the whole time, probably trying to make sure that I won't bolt for the door.
I think our waitress caught on to who I am, because of the tattoo, but only smiles very creepily and takes our order.
I hug liz and then shake Dean's hand, trying to mask the fact that I would rather be anywhere else but here. As long as Ruth was with me.
We make small talk all night, Ruth kicking me whenever I am "too rude".
Liz and Dean hold hands the whole time, inseparable. Ruth gets embarrassed by pda, so instead of holding her hand or sneaking quick kisses to her, I settle for wrapping an arm across the booth, then lowkey settling for her shoulder.
Dinner goes by pretty fast, and by the end of this especially torturing event dean seems tolerable.
He is the kind of guy that wouldn't be very terrible to hang out with.
We were done eating, and ready to leave when Morgan smith walked up to me.
"Hey, Shawn," she says and I feel my heart sink.
"I had fun with you the other day. We should hang out sometime again," she says before winking and sauntering off and I watch as Ruth's face goes from a gorgeous smile to cold, hard, and emotionless.
********************************************
"Ruth," I beg.
"Just listen ok? Please?"
She glares at me, her green eyes furious and her hair starting to puff out. It does that whenever she gets upset, and it's the cutest thing in the whole world.
"I don't want to hear it, not now. Drive me home please." Her arms cross over her chest and she looks down at the floor and her green combat boots.
At least she isn't making liz and Dean take her home. They look extremely uncomfortable, pretending to be absorbed in a table being cleaned. Although Dean is stealing looks at Liz's long, dark braid and hour glass figure underneath black leggings and a long red cardagain.
"Alright," I sigh then shake hands with Dean and hug Liz, whispering her to call me later.
I turn, attempting to hold Ruthanna's hand but she jerks away from me.
Sighing again, I follow her out to the car.
"Ruth..." I begin once we are in the car
"Just hear me out," I tell her.
She looks firmly out the window and shakes her head.
"Shawn, I don't want to hear it right now. I'll call you later."
We pull up infront of her blue house and I attempt to talk again, not unlocking the doors but she sits and stares patiently out of the window until I sigh and unlock the doors.
She's so damn stubborn and it makes me mad sometimes, honestly.
"Love you," I tell her before she closes the door.
She sighs and turns around to look at me, anger and betrayal in her eyes. Pain evident in her tears.
"Love you, too." She says quietly before turning and walking quickly inside without looking back.
