The Charming Redhead Lady

chapter 26

Before she had realised what happened her finger had punched the accept button. "Shit!" She swore lowly.  "Hello? Ruby? Are you there?" She recovered, and after swallowing nervously she answered. "I'm here." She heard a relieved sigh. "I nearly got a fright. Where are you?" "Um..I'm out of my apartment. Why are you asking?" "Ooh...I was thinking...I missed you too...and I was wondering if I should pick you up..." Ruby did not want to hesistate, and before she changed her mind she told him her address so that he could pick her up.

A few minutes later an Audi came to a stop infront of her.
"Hey," Dauph got out of the car and opened for her in the passenger side. She entered and when he was settled, kissed her on her cheek.

They drove towards Dauph's apartment while talking mindless things, mostly about Ruby's day and classes.

"Did you have any dinner?" Ruby shook her head. "It was a girl's night today so I had some junk food with Sheena. But she outed on the last minute." "Ooh...too bad. So you need some nutritious food....and next time I really have to meet Sheena. She sounds lovely." "Ha! You wouldn't think so when she marks you for murder." Dauph chuckled. "Still lovely."

Dauph changed then went to the kitchen, while Ruby set herself on the couch. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain on her lower abdomen, followed by a falling sensation, like drops of urine. 'Uuh-ooh....I think I'm in trouble' she thought to herself.

***

She had been feeling a dull pain on her stomach the whole day, but different stuff on her mind made her forget that she was nearing her womanly days. "Shit, shit, shit; triple shit!!"she swore to herself. Okay, she was in trouble but how could she get her hands on a pad?? It's not like Dauph kept them. She made her way to the kitchen.

"Um-Dauph?" He rose his face to face her. "Yes? You hungry? I'm almost done." Ruby scratched her head nervously. "I was wondering if i could borrow your car." Dauph raised his eyes questioningly. "You planning on running away from me and stealing my car?" Ruby could feel her cheeks burning. "No...I just need to fetch something from the supermarket urgently." "Ooh, I can fetch it for you. Just name it." If she was red that time, now she felt like an overripe tomato. "Its okey, i can just fetch myself. Just lend me your car."

Dauph turned off the stove. "I'm free right here. I can do the fetching and all the chores for you." He smiled widely at her. "No, just lend me the car please. I will return it back safe and sound in a few minutes." Dauph frowned. "What is so special that you can't let me do it for you?" She hid her face with her hands. "I need some pads, okey??!" Without planning, she had snapped at him, partially due to embarrassment and partially due to his insistence to do 'her chores.' "Ooh."he paused, before continuing. "But I can fetch it for you too." Ruby removed her hands from her face. "No, don't worry I can do myself." Dauph made his way to her, took hold of both her hands, and pulling them to his chest. "Ruby....it is nothing to me. I can do it. Just give me a few minutes. Just stay here and rest." Ruby could feel her resistence slipping away when Dauph was watching her straight into her eyes and directly into her soul. She swallowed nervously before nodding to him. "Thank you,"he whispered in her ear, sending delicious shivers into her skin, before he left her.

Okay, that was called cheating. 'Using someone's good looks to bend judgement and get your way should be made illegal!!'Ruby thought to herself. Dauph had just got his way without any resistance. But she couldn't deny that it felt good, being taken care of, and Ruby hid her face with a cushion to prevent herself from giggling like a teenager.

Ten minutes later Dauph was back. "Well I came with sanitary towels, warm pressers, some ibuprofen and chocolates." Ruby stared at him with amazement. "You bought all of those?" Dauph scratched his neck. "Is it too much? The attendant swore that they helped." Ruby looked at him in admiration. "Aww...that's so sweet of you..." "okay, that is NOT the look I was expecting, and you are gonna make me blush. And before you do, I'm going to run you a hot bath. I was told it helped too."

Two hours later Ruby was washed, fed and given anti pains. She was currently on bed, wearing Dauph's pyjamas, which were too big on her. She was on bed trying to get some sleep, and Dauph was finishing up washing the dishes. "You are not asleep yet?" Dauph had just entered the room. "Nope, sleep is evading me." Dauph climbed on the bed. "Come here."he ordered, pulling her to him. "No...it's not necessary...plus I don't smell good..." The rest of her words were swallowed when Dauph kissed her deeply. "Good, that ought to quieten you. Now come here." He pulled her to him, spooning, her head on his chest and his arms enfolding her in a cocoon of warmth. Not long, she was pulled into a peaceful sleep.

It was about eight in the morning, and to Dauph's insistence Ruby was on the living room, watching Netflix. She had woken early, but Dauph had shunned her from helping in anything. So here She was, eyes glued to the television. She heard someone punching the passcode into Dauph's penthouse. But Dauph was in the kitchen, fixing breakfast....

Ruby rose from the couch and went to stand near the door. Suddenly the door opened, and a woman entered, pulling her briefcase behind her. She paused when she saw Ruby, before saying," hello. Who are you?"

***

Who might it be? A mistress, a wife or a girlfriend?

How would Ruby react?

Let's meet on....the next chapter...
