Sold To Mr President

Ruby and Collins walked out of the supermarket looking very happy, in Collins hands, he had a shopping bag filled with grocery items, it was kind of good, the best that he could ever think of. Since tonight that he had almost run into the lady, he things that things aren’t just going to be easy, but then, the girl had been fun to be with.

Throughout the time that they spent in the grocery shop, they didn’t say anything, absoloutely nothing at all. Glaring at the lady that stood in front of him, Collins smiled brightly at her.

“You should smile more often, I think it is going to suit you okay?” Collins muttered starting at the girl beside him.

Lifting her head to face Collins, he had several questions shooting through his body. It was kind of awkward, but then, she didn’t mind, she didn’t even do anything concerning that out. The only thing that mattered was the fact that Collins found her attractive. Well, he had not openly said that, but then, it could be insinuated in that manner, he said if she smiles often, it might fit her, that can also be equated to the fact thereshe is beautiful. Thinking about this, she blushed profusely, more than what was expected, there is nothing that can be done right now as she turned a great shade of pink. Ruby felt the heat creasing up her face, yet she didn’t look away from the tonng man, in fact, she enjoyed shpwing her bright face to the man inorder to have more rewards from him. That is what is important, and also the most essential think he can think about.

Tonight, when they had entered the grocery shop, Ruby’s heart was in her stomach regarding the fac that she is going to meet Paige in there. She totally knew that it was inevitable, so she prepared herself tl face her. There is no doubt that there are going to be a number of questions to answer, yes, that is the truth, she would definitely ask questions that her mind will want to explode.

This is because it has not been long since she left the shop, Ruby thinks it has being just an hour or so since she left he place, so there is no doubt that she is expected to be home by now, and not Inly that, byt have started cooking a sumptuous meal for Ethan. Well, that is true, all these things would have being made possible, but at least, she would not have finished cooking already, that would be improper, at least, she could say that she would be doing the finishing by now, and the fact that she has not even started made her heart tp secretly bleed.

This is something that she can’t even think about, just brushing her mind around these things is even the worst thing she can do in her entire life. Sighing, she shook her head away from these thought. It is evident that her heart was no longer in her chest, in fact, she couldn’t reason anything properly, it was though to picture things out, and as she thought about it, a little moan escape her lips.

“What is the manner?” Collins asked staring at Ruby.

All of a sudden, she looked stressed out, and although there was only a grocery bag that was in her hands as she grabbed it possessively, she k ind of brushed her mind around it. This is not the best time to think about all these things, yet, she can’t help it, her mind wouldn’t even want to be disturbed right now, so struggling to look for an answer for him wouldn’t be today, and that might be sometimes soon.

“Nothing… nothing is the matter,” she called out sweetly, starting at his face as she blurted the words from her mouth.

Hearing this, Collins chuckled, raised his right eyebrows skeptically at him as if wasm’t satisfied with the answer the lady gave him, but then, even if he is not satisfied with that, what does it have to do in relation to that girl in front of her? nothing, as she said. Like seriously? this is a prove that she didn’t believe anything that the young lady had just said to him, it is weird, and even though he had the urge to ask several questions, Collins just brushed the thoughts away from his mind.

He thinks that it is important to just forget about it, so that is why he is pleased for saying those things.

“Let’s go?” Collins called out in a gentle way as he urged her to walk by his side even though she was behind.

He was trying to prove himself by all means that he is a gentle man, that is all what is left of him right now to prove it, so he didn’t joke even if it was the slightest bit to prove that out. It made him glad to render a service for someone, especially if it had to do with a lady, good choice then, he had stumbled on a lady, so it is only an added advantage to them, and there is nothing that can be done apart from allowing himself to be used as a tool to help the ladies.

Ladies are so fragile, they are soft, weak, and vulnerable, in order to stop all the bad actions and also violent acts open women that makes them to become so easy to harm them, but unlike those beasts and woman beater, Collins is not like that, he stands apart from all those people, and wishes that the rest can be like that too. Instead of him to be bad and betray the lady’s who are all pretty in their own body, and not only that, he tries his best to make things work for them, trying to make the weaker ones be strong, and also sensitizing the men to stop being bad towards the women.

Sighing, Collins gave a readymade smile at Ruby, It didn’t pose him a problem that he didn’t know the lady’s name, he just wanted to be natural with her, to be himself as much as possible.

“Thank you, Collins, you are a true gentleman,” Ruby ackwoledged as she smoled brightly giving Collins a flashy smile too before she stepped in front.

It seemed like Collins’s politeness Is innate, more like it is a part and parcel of him because he did not fake it, no! he did not. He didn’t even look like someone who faked anything at all, because if he does, a part or a moment would have made him to sell himself out. Yes, that is how it always works when before aren’t being true to themselves, it is always like that, and there is nothing he can do about it, nothing at all.

Sighing, Ruby didn’t want to think about anything that has to do with Ethan because her mind was gently pulled towards that direction. It ached his head a lot, like seriously, it would be a major mistake if he ever tries comparing Ethan with Collins. Ethan is a beast, he had never pretended to be someone else even for an hour, and that is the worst thing about him, it is true that she is his captive, but then, that doesn’t mean any more, three years is quite a number for Ethan to come around with her.

It is obvious that liberating her is not an option, but then, he could be more playful with her, they could play games, listen to music, go and and enjoy life even if it means for an hour or two before returning home, but then, it is obvious that all these things are just some foolish fairytale drama that keeps appearing to taunt her entire life and existence, it just so pisses her off that Ethan is not even trying to fake a life to please her. That would just be a dream come true to her, like seriously, that will surely mean that all these things will come to past.

When they had entered the shop, Collins had being the one to open the door for Ruby. Not only that, he had waited until she had entered before he joined her inside and closed the door behind them. Through out their shopping activity, Collins had held the basket, not only that, he had been focused on allowing himself to carry the basket while Ruby had been focused on glaring at the receptionist desk, waiting to aee Paige there, but then she was no where to be found, it was kind of frustrating, there is nothing that she has seen now that she hasn’t seen in her entire life, and that was kind of awkward because through out the entire time, her focus was in front.

Ruby’s heart was in her stomach, she knew that if Paige noticed her, she will walk straight to her side, chanting whatever God knows what she is good at talking about. That is the most essential part, to have the lady the lady talk about whatever she wanted to without Ruby having the courage to tell her to shut the fuck up, at least, that would be necessary, the most essential part to talk about, and it made them glad to know that such things are weird for her__ to tell Paige to keep quiet.

It is obvious that she might get mad, but then, she talks a lot, and the worst is, there was a day that Ruby had almost told her the truth, that is, about the fact that she has being kidnapped for a very long time now, and any form of help will be needed from her, especially if she could secretly help in calling the police.

Hmm! lucky enough for Ruby, she doesn’t have a sharp tongue like her friend Paige. If not, she would have surely being death by now, and this is not even something to talk about. Instead of Paige to help Ruby out, the first thing she us going to do is to announce everywhere that the girl had been kidnapped by the villain. It is obvious that Ethan will run away before the cops can arrive to catch her, that is the truth, and when that happens, that is, when he succeeds in running away, something worse than just being kidnapped will happen to Ruby.

This is just plain common sense, she doesn’t need Ethan to tell her that he is going to kill him before he actually does, the best thing to do is just to make the thoughts come to reality, and that could be done with just a bullet, to silence the lady out, and at that time, even if Ethan runs away to another town, that will be an added advantage to him because no one will ever know about these things, no one at all. Before he even leave the town, Ethan will make sure that he disposes of her corpse, who knows maybe he might try to put her at the back of his boat and travel with her, then, where he deems it fit, he will throw her in a river, or more, in the bush or just somewhere clandestine that no one will ever know about it, or even bother to notice that she is there.

These thoughts were harsh, they pounded heavily on Ruby’s head, and only thinking about it, she shuddered. There is no doubt that she is being scared by her own thoughts, and it was so frightful that she might be dead by now or in the nearest future without even committing any crime. Since when those working at a club become a crime that Ethan will have to kidnap her? she wondered.

Collins noticed that Ruby wasn’t saying anything, she was just standing there unable to say anything, it was kind of awkward, and as he raised his head to galre at her, he said lightly to her,

“Hey, cherry pie, come back to earth,”

Ruby was startled as she heard that.
