Chapitre 41: Chapter 40: To Call Home
The couples returned to the hotel after leaving the Huang's place. After they got into the hotel room, they started to catch up kissing each others. Naturally, Lucas asked her questions regarding what happened that night. Ruby answered him truthfully and did not hide anything from him. She even told him exactly what Marcus had said. Lucas was stunned speechless for few seconds.
Lucas contemplated for a while before asking her. "Then what are your plans if he kept harrassing you?" She answered. "I let you handle it since you said I'm your fiancee! You will help me, right."
"Sure." He kissed her forehead and promised. "Don't worry, leave this to me! I deal with him. Furthermore, you're my future wife...." Ruby widened her smile and tiptoe to kiss him and said. "Thank you, honey." They hugged.
"It's nothing, as long as you're fine." Lucas smiled. Her smile was like flowers breaking through the first frost in spring. Lucas's eyes suddenly darkened. He extended his tapered fingers to lightly pinch her chin and lifted it up. The next second, he went in to kiss and lick her neck.
Her neck was her sensitive spot, she felt lost and anxious as he rained down kisses on her skin there. Lucas seemed to sense her anxiety because he suddenly stopped and pulled her in for a hug again. Embraced in his powerful arms, Ruby finally felt her feet landing on solid ground again.
"I've missed you these past few days." He breathed out as he buried his face into her neck. She could feel his warm breath tickling her, hugged him in return and said. "I've missed you, too." "I really really missed you." He confessed. "Without you beside me, it felt like my heart was emptied."
Lucas suddenly released her and asked as he stared into her eyes. "Ruby, stay back tonight. Give your parents a call, tell them you're not going home. Stay with me." She nodded. "But I don't have my things here. I can't sleep in this. If I wear your shirt tonight, then what about tomorrow? I need to put on something."
Lucas smiled wickedly. "You'll be naked tonight baby, hmm... nothing at all. What happened tomorrow, I will arrange? You can use my toiletries for now. There's a hotel toothbrush or use mine. Settled!" He kissed her lightly on her forehead as if everything planned.
Ruby saw this coming, understand him well and just as Lucas turned to get her cellphone, she suddenly pulled his arm. The man turned around as Ruby's soft lips came up to him. Lucas did not evade thus allowing this woman of his dreams to kiss his lips.
Ruby retreated after a short kisses and said. "I need to call home. Mom will..." She could not finish her words because her mouth was already occupied again! Ruby suddenly pulled out. "I have to call home.." She took her cellphone and called her mom, informing she'll staying over with Lucas and not coming home tonight. After that, both of them headed for showers before retreating for the wild night.

The next morning, she's awake when the hotel phone rang. "Hello, good morning!" She picked up. "Good morning. Ruby, is Lucas there?" Dennis asked. "He's still sleeping. Do you want him come to the phone?" Dennis said 'no need and told to join them for breakfast at the lobby's cafe in an hour time and hang up.' When Dennis told the other two guys that Lucas was still sleeping and its was Ruby who answered the called, their imaginations go wild.
Ruby rolled over and wake him up. Her body were aching over as she recalled they had rough time last night. One could imagine what rough had happened the previous night without asking. As she was ready to get up, she could feel an indescribable ache all over her body. Her legs turned jelly, and she could hardly stand up properly! 'Is he a human or a beast. Just few days apart, have turned her body helpless. What's if weeks or years?' She couldn't imagined what the outcome would be.
Silently staring and cursing him inside, Lucas woke up and spoke. "Morning sunshine. Where are you going?" "Shower." She said and before she forget. "Honey, what am I gonna way today. I can't wear those." Pointing at the evening grown and her previous soiled clothes.
Lucas got up, back hugged her. "You'll find something inside my luggage." He teased and nibbled her right ear. "Huh.." She replied, cannot exactly understand what he meant. Lucas then pulled her towards his luggage, opened and there, two set of dresses. Ruby felt touched and excited. So he came planned and prepared.
She took out the dresses, one sleeveless long dress in white with little pinky flowers printed on it and the other, a V-collar lacy light blue colour knee-length dress. "They're beautiful." She said and pecked his cheeks. "I'm glad you like it. I got it in the States while shopping with Breatice, my step-sister. She almost the same size at you, she's sixteen now." He said and hugged her.
Ruby wanted to asked him about his mom but held back. He noticed her uneasiness and thoughts it might be about his family. "What's it? What do you wants to know." He gave her the relaxing look. "I.. I wanted to know about your mom? Where's she now? You never talk about her?" She bombed her questions in one shot. "She's in heaven now." Ruby was stunned. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked." Lucas told her what happened to her mother, how his mother died of cancer when he's fourteen. How his father remarried and his treatments from his stepmom and step-sister. They got along very well.
