Cramps
CRAMPS
Ruby’s Pov;
I couldn’t believe I just said that to him.
Like… what the f**k?!.
I watched as he quickly replaced his shocked expression with a glare and then a normal face.
My heart was pounding so much and beating so fast.
I thought that would be the end of me. The situation wasn’t looking too good and I don’t know what he’s gonna do to me here.
I saw this dark glow in his eyes that sparkled and ran out just as quickly as they had come.
He was trying hard to control his temper right that minute and the last thing I wanted was to get him more upset, so, I just did what I thought would be best, which is to keep my mouth shut.
That’s exactly what I did. I didn’t want to get into further arguments with him.
” Uhmm… I think we should… uhm.. go now” I stuttered terribly.
“I told you to sit your ass back down. That hasn’t changed, you know” he groaned, bringing his phone out of his pocket.
He shifted away from me while I struggled to put my butt back on the chair.
” Arrgghh!!” I let out a slight groan.
He quickly turned to look at me and heaved a sigh of relief.
Woahh!! That was a first. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think he’s worried about me… like really worried and that got me hooked.
Damn, this thing! I don’t know why it had to happen today of all days.
I could do a lot right now, like stare at his handsome face and watch him and drool all over him as he makes his phone call.
He’s just so adorable and I can’t believe he’s the guy I am married to… it all still feels like a dream… to me.
The call ended and he started walking back to me.
He glanced at me before taking his seat.
Why is he acting so complicated? Cant, he just let me know the reason we are still here?
For goodness sake, I need to change and get out of this mess, but how do I even tell him about it?
He probably won’t understand and I don’t want to bother him.
He didn’t only sit down, but he did and brought out his phone.
Does he see me as a statue or what?.
I couldn’t even say anything. I couldn’t utter a word and that was the most painful part of it all.

I didn’t know for how long I’d dozed off, but I felt a slight tap on my back, and by the time I woke, I did see a shocker.
What the fuck?!!.
I gasped at the shocker in front of me which was hanging and my jaws dropping.
” Uhm… what… is this?” I turned to ask my so-called husband with the driver standing close to him.
” Go get changed in the restroom. He doesn’t know the brand you use, hence, he brought different brands. You get to choose” he said flawlessly, like he was giving a speech.
I was so mesmerized and immensely swayed by the way he spoke.
Goodness!! How is he so perfect? It’s wonderful.
Hold on! How… how did he know about it?.
I gasped and rushed to my feet, checking my skirt only to see bloodstains.
Oh, my!! So that’s how he knew. He had seen everything and didn’t want me to be humiliated and that is why he had asked me to sit down in front of all those men.
Oh, my? And I had acted so rashly and rudely.
Jeez!! What was I even thinking? He’s a lifesaver… He… is my lifesaver.
The driver bowed and walked out and when he was fully gone, I grabbed the brand I use and ran to a restroom.
I changed and came out to meet him. He was still there… waiting. I had to increase my pace despite the pain I was feeling, so I wouldn’t keep him waiting.
He got up and started walking out and I went after him.
We got to the car and he asked the driver to go get the rest sanitary pads which he did and came back immediately and we were soon on our way.
Despite the pains, I couldn’t hide and contain the joy I was feeling.
I couldn’t believe he could do something like that for me.
The drive one was a good and wonderful one and all through, I couldn’t stop stealing glances at him.
He’s now like my knight in shining armor… my guardian and Mr right.
What he did melted my heart. I never could have thought or even imagined that he would be this caring and attentive.
I never imagined he could do something like this for me.
Heavens!!

We finally got home and I eagerly walked to the sitting room.
The cramps were taking a great toll on me, but I tried and did my best to put on a smile and appear good.
” Oh dearies!! You guys are back… just right in time” his mom greeted us with her usual cheerful smile.
I sighted his Dad in his seat and we took turns in greeting them
” How did it go?” his dad asked and I figured he was talking to his son.
Nathan hummed a response and was about to go inside.
” Nope… come have dinner first, and then you can go shower later on and go to bed” she insisted, blocking our paths.
” I’m sorry, but I’ll have to pass for now. Come on Ruby ” he said and turned to me, leaving me shocked and stunned.
” Hey bro” Ella yelled from the stairs, not giving me enough time to get over the shock.
” Hey kiddo ” he cooed at her and she ran all the way to the stairs to meet him.
” I’m so glad you’re back now, I have a lot to tell you about school and…”
” Not now Ella, come on Ruby ” he beckoned me again and I felt the worms dancing in my stomach.
It made me cringe so much but I had to admit that I felt kinda weird and somehow happy.
Jeez!! What was that? Or is he just acting that way because his Dad is there?.
Don’t think so because he did do something for me earlier.
Gosh!! I’m so confused.
