I will hold you when things go wrong - King Tony

RUBY'S POV:

"James tried to kiss me", I said to Gaby immediately we started eating in her room.

" Really! And we were just talking about how compatible you both are. Seminar started", she declared smiling happily.

"I don't get you, Bry", I said confused.

"I mean to say spill, spill, spill the beans", she said, dropping her fork to demonstrate.

" I'd love to be melodramatic and all and start with the time and the weather but you were basically there so all that happened was him talking to me about a girl that's probably his girlfriend and next thing he almost locks lips with me"

"A lot can happen when I walk away for 10 minutes. Maybe I should leave you both alone more often"

Just as she said this her phone rang.

"Oh hey James", she said winking at me as I face palmed.

" Yeah she's here. He wants to talk to you", she said and began making kissing faces as she handed the phone over to me.

"What do I do? What do I say?", I whispered worried.

" Oh Ruby, take the phone", she said and I put the speaker to my ear.

"Hi....", I said awkwardly.

"We can make this real or keep it awkward. You pick?", he said over the phone.

God, he sounded so sexy right now.

"You made my day, babe", he said.

" Really well then I dub you Jamie since you have a nick for me"

"I knew there was a reason I don't let anyone else call me Jamie. It sounds so damn better when you say it"

"Lol I know right"

"I hope I wasn't disturbing anything"

"Nope, we were just eating though but what's up"

"What's up is that you eat this late?", he said the shock evident in his voice.

"What?" I said, suddenly feeling shy.

"No, really is that what makes you glow"

"Haha, I won't answer that"

"Yeah because you're too busy blushing"

"I reserve my comment. I'm sure you didn't call to say that"

"No, I didn't. I meant to tell you I'm sorry I came off as pushy, if I did. I just find you really attractive. Not facially alone, I just really want to get to know you"

"I'm sure you say this to everyone"

"I don't"

"If you say so"

"Alright then, I say so. Alright then I bid you good night my lady"

"You could add a bow to that if we were on a video call right now"

"We'll save that for the next time"

"We'll see won't we? Well see you when I see you then"

"Good night baby"

"Night"

Dropping the call finally, Brylee had already started screaming like a rat that was hyper. It was girl cliche. I just sat down staring at her wondering what was so special that had her screaming longer than the normal 20 seconds.

"Ruby, he's totally got the hots for you", she screamed gleefully.

"What do you mean? I don't think I have to point it out", I said, trying to dampen her mood.

" Point what out?", she asked, trying to carry me along.

"The fact that he looks and acts like a player, Casanova if you must call it that. I don't want to get in on that"

"Don't judge a book by its cover"

"I know but you know him more than I do. I mean I might just be guessing but he gives off the vibe"

"I know he does but have you ever thought of the fact that your experiences make you who you are"

"I know, I know but..."

"No. I'm older so listen. James has had a lot on his plate of recent. The least we can do is cut him some slack. We all have to find ways to escape the pain"

"And playing with girls is a good choice?"

"Well someone has to save them"

"No, no, no! I don't believe you can change a player"

"They can actually be changed"

"They change on their own. You may just be the influence he needs"

"Now you're going to make me go to sleep with all this on my mind"

I stood up and left her room to mine. I know it seems weird for you to have a room in my aunt's house but for some reason, this holiday she opened it up and handed me the key. I was so overjoyed I didn't even ask why.

Plopping down unto my bed, my mind drifted to James. I don't believe a girl can be the reason a guy changes. I mean how does that work. He likes you so much all of a sudden, he mends his ways. I don't think it happens like that. I don't want to get in on that show because it's heartbreaking. What have I gotten myself into?

  • Casanova Boyfriend✔   Chapter 30

    Ruby’s POV:ONE YEAR LATERThe last year has by far been one of the most eventful times for me. James actually went through with his rehabilitation program and I spent every day with him. It turns out he was overdosing on sleeping medicines and it almost became a health issue as his physical tolerance for the drug increased and he craved it more.Dealing with all the news was really stressful. I nearly had a miscarriage when I realized he lost sleep when I had to leave. He arranged for his private jet to move all his things from his house in Port Harcourt over to Nevada. We’d decided on a house there and we got one in a quiet area. He had to move money anonymously to my account since he couldn’t make the purchase himself. I had a feeling his father was monitoring his accounts. I didn’t say anything though.My parents and my new baby brother were ecstatic that I finally agreed to move closer. They were more ecstatic to find out I wa

  • Casanova Boyfriend✔   Chapter 29

    RUBY’S POV:Two weeks laterWe had finalized all paper work and made plans on how to move. Sadly, James had been mentioned. The letter had been delivered to James already and the court meeting was today.I had picked out one of my many official wears, some slacks and a shirt along with a black blazer. Giving one last look at myself through the mirror, I agreed with my reflection that I looked good enough for a quickie, not like that’s what I expected. Turning around to leave, I looked at myself once more and agreed with my reflection that I had put on weight since I got home. Of course I would blame it on the fact that I ate away my anxiety, not that it worked though but a girl has to hope.Getting up to leave, I immediately felt a bit queasy when I walked too fast towards my bag that I’d left in the parlour. Rushing to my bag a bit faster, I unzipped it and grabbed at the packet of veggie crackers I’d gotten so used

  • Casanova Boyfriend✔   Chapter 28

    RUBY’S POV:As I finally arrived home, my sorrowful separation from James kept playing in my mind.“I don’t know when next I’ll see you but it can’t hurt to ask you to wait for me” he’d said looking down at me lovingly.“You know I could wait another 10 years” I said and what I wanted to sound as a joke became the elephant in the room.“I won’t say bye, not even goodbye because I don’t want to let go ok. So see you soon”Of course, he would take away my breath for this parting too. So I said the only thing that kept sounding in my head. “Always and forever” and we both smiled as I got into my Uber.Slowly walking into my apartment, I thought of calling my parents and I prepared for them to freak. It’s not every time you get the shock of seeing your daughter in a completely different hair colour

    CHAPTER 26JAMES' POV:"I knew it wouldn't take you that long to find out""What" he said cocking his beautiful eyebrows and bringing out a bit of the wrinkles he'd probably tried to hide.She looked forward and said "You want to play that game-" picking up a glass of tequila I had left unattended to "fine."This wasn't working. What kind of person was so put together when she's high?"What did you do to me? I feel like Johnny English-"she finally turned to look at me, effectively jabbing me on the shoulder and retracting her hand "-strikes again"."Aren't you the

  • Casanova Boyfriend✔   Chapter 25

    JAMES' POV:It had become a routine to check the CCTV footage for all the times I wasn't around my houses. After saying good night, I was about to go back to plop down onto my bed, the awkward position I'd been in during the surprise movie night, getting the best of me when my mind went back to went back to my prior engagement. Quietly scolding myself for almost forgetting to check the cameras, I turned and went to my study which I'd strategically placed at a door at the end of my closet.It wasn't that good though when you had to call meetings wherever you are and the stereotypical gang leader is meant to call the meeting in his study. Being normal didn't apply to me though, that's part of the reason I had a conference room. I mean why invite them into a room filled with novels that would make them all laugh rowdily wh

  • Casanova Boyfriend✔   Chapter 24

    RUBY'S POV:After roughly an hour of driving, we finally made it to his house. Of course as a movie star and what the people of Port Harcourt would call Senior man, he had to have a stunning house but he took this to the next level. It was jaw dropping.His house was in the Garden City proper and his house was even more than fit for the Governor. It was in a gated estate, I wouldn't expect anything less from him though. As we drove into his compound, I was almost at a lack of words.His house was beyond beautiful and by the way his lips lifted ever so slightly, he knew. Of course this wasn't the house he showed to anyone, it was another of his many getaway houses so the thought of getting a personal tour of the house was a definite steal."Like what you see?", he asked as he angled his head a little towards me." Love it", I said still looking around.

  • Casanova Boyfriend✔   Chapter 23

    RUBY'S POV:"Babe, you've been asleep for way too long. What are you dreaming of", a sweet voice that always rang in my subconscious called out from what seemed like the other room." Anything to get away from Charles. Its your turn to change him anyway", I said to myself, fearing that if I opened my eyes, I'd have to do it.The fact that I'm mentioning a Charles made me open my eyes wide, everywhere looked so familiar. It couldn't be my one bedroom apartment. As much as I'd spent money setting it up to keep my heavy heart at bay, this was way too big. Every detail was so much more emphasized in this king sized room. From the red flowery patterned curtains that flowed down from the roof to the floor to the ash beddings and the duvet made to look like a large dollar bill, it all seemed too familiar to me. It felt so homey. The door decorated to the t

  • Casanova Boyfriend✔   Chapter 22

    RUBY'S POV:What the....?", the voice I knew too well said, holding back a curse.Oh, no, no, no. This can't be happening. Part of me knew I needed closure from the spectacular relationship I'd had with the one and only James Llock, who was this irritated at being ran into."I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking. I dunno something had flown into my eye and I needed to get water or something. I hope I didn't stain your shirt. Oh my God, you're not going to throw me off the ship right. I can't lose my job on the ship...", I rambled off.I'd already began questioning myself. Why would I rant out like I was the real Jade Freeman? To me, it goes a bit farther than not wanting my head served for a late night snack. I don't know why I felt the need for this gorgeous specimen who I'm trying to bring to book, to accept me?He wasn't meant to be on board but I had my suspicions about meeti
