Made For You

Chapter One

Present day

"This is the best design for the store. Interior designs checked, the visual-" Laura glanced at Ruby who had her face buried in her palms.
"Are you okay?" She asked.

Ruby lifted her head slowly and sighed. She looked pale and her lips were dry and cracked. "Just a headache, I'll be fine." She said as she held her head.

"You look sick." Laura exclaimed. "Girl, you've been stressing yourself too much." She looked at her with concern. Reaching for Ruby's forehead, she felt her temperature was high.

"I'll be fine, Laura." She brushed off her hand and took the designs Laura had drawn.

"No, you won't. Not until you take a rest." Laura insisted. Her friend had been working her butt off ever since Laura's dad put up the fashion merchandize. It was a new company and they were still renovating and looking for potential retaillers and buyers.

Ruby worked with the Visual team. She was the head of her department and was always busy with updating the site and trying to make it catchy enough to attract customers.

Laura was thrilled at how Ruby worked hard for her dad's (Laura's) company. She was so good at what she did, no wonder she'd told her dad to employ her. Ruby was awesome!

"You need some rest, honey. It's obvious you've not been sleeping, look at the dark circles under your eyes." Laura pestered.

"You know how hard we must work to get noticed?" Ruby said, cocking up her eyebrow.

"I know, but leave the rest for us to handle. Our company is new and it's ok if it's not booming with buyers. We'll get there very soon. Don't kill yourself."

Ruby sighed.

"Go home, I'll explain to dad. Stay home for like three days." Laura squeezed her hand and gave her a soft nod.

Ruby nodded. "I guess you're right." She stood up and took her bag from the hanger. "Thanks, Laura." She smiled at her friend.

Laura stood up and smiled back, "Get your ass outta here, you workaholic."

Ruby laughed.

They left the office.

(Ruby)

Sitting in the sofa and working on her laptop. She brushed a strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear, but it fell back on her face again. Irritated, she shoved it over her shoulder and adjusted her glasses on her nose. She clicked on her laptop again.

Hearing footsteps on the stairs, she looked up.

"Aren't you coming to bed?" Her boyfriend asked, standing on the stairs and looking down at her. He wore only khaki pants, his chest, shirtless.

She smiled, "I just need to work on this." She said.

"Nope, it's time for bed." He tilted his head at her and proceeded to descend the rest of the stairs. He was dark and broad shouldered, very muscular and he towered four inches over her.

Ruby groaned as she looked at him.

He came over to the sofa and took the laptop from her. Closing it, he placed it on the center table.

"Andy..." She whined and pouted.

He sat in the sofa beside her and touched her face affectionately, "I'm not going to watch you work late again. It's time for bed." He said softly and brought his face closer to hers.

Ruby continued to pout, "Pleaseee." She whined again.

Andy shook his head and taking her glasses off, he kissed her, "It's time for me to work magic on your sexy ass. Now, let's go to bed." He grabbed her into his arms like she weighed nothing.

Ruby giggled and shook her as he climbed the stairs to their bedroom.
She sighed as he entered the room and closed the door behind them with his foot.

Ruby closed her eyes as Andy laid on her on the bed.
She felt him kiss her forehead and tracing down her neck.

She smiled and pulled him closer.

"You like that, don't you?" He asked, huskily.

"Mmm.. Hmmm." She hummed softly as she bit on her lip.

She heard the bed creak a little as he climbed unto it and she opened her eyes to look at him.

She began to undress, sitting up on the bed and grinning at him as his eyes followed the movement of her hands. She loved how he always looked at her like a treasure. He had the ability to make her feel so beautiful.

"You're beautiful, Ruby." He groaned as he reached to kiss her.

She held him, shoving her fingers in his hair and kissing him back deeply.
"I love you." She whispered against his lips.
