Crazy Love

Chapter Three

It's been 2 weeks now since that incident with James and I'm still embarrass. "I don't know how to face him again" I said to myself then my phone vibrates I checked to see who called and it turns out to be James, he has been calling no stop since that day and I did not pick because I don't know what to say to him. I was about to go to the bathroom when my mom called out "Ruby would you please go to the Weller's, please give Mrs Weller this bag tell her I bought it for her..." My mom pause when she came into my room and saw my expression "Ruby are you okay?" I faked a smile "I'm fine mom" "Alright, please give this to my friend and tell I would have given her the bag myself but I gotta go somewhere with your dad and you know your dad he does not like delays just tell her anything and make her understand" "okay mom" I said as I was changing my top to a blue sleeveless and a jacket I don't need to change my black pant taking the bag with me downstairs I saw my dad with Bonnie and Andrew( my youngest sibling) 'Oh thank God there is hope Bonnie is here' I smiled "Come on Bonnie let's go" she looked at me "May I ask where sis?" I can't tell her where we are going because if I do she will not follow me and I need her to follow me so I can convince her to give Mrs Weller the bag " We are going to the store" I lied but unfortunately for me my mom heard me and was confused "Ruby are you going to the store also but I thought you're going to give Stella 'Mrs Weller' the bag" she asked "ehm... ehm..." I stammered I caught Bonnie smirking "Of...of course am going to Weller's house i almost forgot" " You forgot?" Bonnie smirked 'Just one slap will take that smirk away from your face' I thought to myself "Yes I did" I said trying to control my anger, She is always like this towards me trying to frustrate me. "Katrina go and give her the bag now" my mom doesn't call me Katrina unless she is angry and I bet that am really pissing her off now what am I going to do I really want someone to follow me or better still not to go there I don't want to face him not now "Katrina!" My mom shouted and I can see the look on her face that any time soon I won't be able to escape her anger and I don't want that "Mom I'm going there but please can Bonnie or Andrew follow me? please mom" I pleaded "No you are going alone, wait a minute is there something you're not telling me?" I didn't answer "Ruby why don't you want to go there alone?" She asked me again "Nothing" I shook my head trying to fake a smile which was not working, I better go now before she get suspicious and start asking questions "I'm off" I went to the door and opened it but before I could closed the door i heard my mom clearly "she is acting strange, Bonnie do you know what's wrong with her?" "I don't know mom" Bonnie replied. I signed am getting closer to Weller's house i got to their door and I rang, then someone from inside opened the door and Mrs Weller's smiling face met mine "Hello Ruby" "Hello" I forced a smile "Come on in dear" I entered I looked out eyeing every corner of the house so to know if he is around, I don't want to see him. Mrs Weller offered me a sit and I sat down 'I need to be quick ' I thought "Mrs Weller my mom told me to give you this bag she bought it for you" "Oh really that's so nice of her I remember telling her I wanted a bag but I never expected her to buy it for me, Wow I'm so grateful" she smiled taking the bag from me I also smiled "Please do tell her that I will check on her soon" "Okay but you gotta do that later because my parent are out now that was the reason she could not come here" I explained "Oh okay I will call her then, thank you Ruby I really appreciate" "You're welcome Mrs Weller" I smiled "Mom I can't seem to find my headphone where did you keep it?" As soon I heard that voice my smile vanished "I think it's here" Stella replied 'Oh no James is inside I should have ask Stella' 'I thought, James came down and saw the headphone on the couch "I have seen it mom" he has not seen me yet but I know he will soon "Okay, James look who is here it's Ruby my friend's daughter" James looked up and saw me he was shocked " Isn't she pretty?" his mom asked but James didn't reply "Come with me" I know he was referring to me so I stood up and followed him up to his room while his mom was staring at us surprised, I closed the door behind me and he faced me "Why didn't you pick my calls" he asked me "emm...emm....m...my phone....was... not...with me, my dad.... collected.. my phone as a punishment" I lied "Okay because I was wondering why you didn't pick my calls I thought you were avoiding me" "Of course not I came here so I can see you" I lied again faking a smile and he smiled back "Really?" He asked "Yes" I replied and he came close to me and took my hands in his " I was really worried and could not stop thinking of you" I forced a smile "Same here James" "I don't know how to say this but I'm falling for you I think I'm in love with you" wow I wasn't expecting that I was shocked I opened my mouth but nothing came out then i pretended to be angry but he caught me and kissed my hands "Please Ruby be my girlfriend" he said "Wow are you asking me out?" I asked him blushing "Yes" he replied giving a 'Are you dumb' look. "But we are not familiar with each other" I told him "Let me take you on a date and let's try to know each other" he said giving a wink, are you for real I wanted to ask but no words came out expect from okay.

How I wish Sarah was here she would have advised me I lay down on my bed smiling so am going on an official date and I think I now have a boyfriend I'm so excited right now I can't wait for the date I thought and I started reading my novel I smiled once again.

5 months later

The relationship between me and James has been a secret. I started to like him more and more but I didn't give him a chance to touch me or kiss me because I'm afraid it will lead to sex. Sometimes I do think he is already tired of me acting childish, sometimes he do call me a kid and I would ask him why did he called me a kid and he will be like don't you know you are still acting like a kid and immature sometimes I will laugh it off and act like he is joking but not until I heard from my sister that he has gone back to his ex girlfriend and they are now dating that he really love the girl that they broke up 7 months ago because the girl went to college but now she is back but I didn't believe her. I know that when I call him sometimes he does not pick or whenever he pick his calls he will give me some excuses but I believed him thinking he is telling me the truth. I dress up and went out I don't have a specific destination but I just wanted to clear my head as I was about to get to the next Street I saw James I grinned then I called out his name but he did not answer 'May be he did not hear me calling his name' I thought then I moved closer to him only to see that he was not alone I saw a chubby girl with blonde hair with him they were both smiling then I saw him pull the girl closer to him and they started kissing he begins to touch her butt, they were so lost in their kiss that they didn't see me break down I can't believe what I am seeing right now my James is kissing another girl I covered my mouth so I will not scream then I quickly turned my back to them so they will not see me every steps that I took seem hard like I don't have the strength to walk again. I got home and went back to my room and buried my face in my pillow crying I felt betrayed by James how could he do this to me I'm so hurt and I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up the next day feeling sad my mom came in "Ruby are you okay?" I know she is concerned but I can't tell her "I am fine mom" I replied "Alright" and she went back. I need to talk to someone but am not in touch with Sarah again which is not good this is one time I wish she was here she is the only that could understand me right now am so sad. Bonnie came in and she noticed my mood "Ruby what's wrong?" She asked me with her sweet voice, should I tell her or not I don't think so "Nothing I'm okay" I replied her " Please leave me alone Bonnie, I just want to be alone" I said "Okay" she said and left me.

It's been a while after i saw James kissing his ex girlfriend but I never confronted him I choose to let go of him silently I don't want to have anything to do with him again I just want to be single. I was in the living room watching my favorite soap opera 'Grachi' when my phone rang I took the phone to check the caller and it turns out to be Matt Woods the guy i met at the store he has been calling before I broke up with James although I don't like him but I talk to him so I can get over James we started dating like two days ago and now he is getting me frustrated always calling to check on me and I hate it.

Matt: "Hey babe"

Me: "Hello"

Matt: "I just called to check on you babe" I rolled my eyes

Me: "But you called not quite long"

Matt:"I know I just wanted to hear your sweet voice"

Me: "Okay bye" I'm already getting frustrated

Matt: "Bye for now talk to you later" and he hanged up I pray he does not call me again he is really getting on my nerves lately.
