She tossed for the umpteenth time. After a long and emotional day, it was only right that she had a good night rest but that wasn’t forthcoming. After her call with Anderson, three cups of chamomile tea and thirty minutes of pacing around she decided to sleep. The sheets were so soft she had almost thought they were made of cotton candy. The house was so quiet she could have sworn if a pin dropped, she would hear. Maria had returned to her room after ensuring Ruby was well pampered.Ruby groaned as she pulled the blanket over her head. “Why can’t I sleep?” She asked herself as she pouted It was unusual for her as she always drifted off to sleep immediately she touched the bed. Sighing, she moved to the door and placed her ear against it. “Just one sound” she whispered as she leaned in more.She had to admit she was spying on Nate. Her anxiety was over the roof especially since she hadn’t heard him leave his room after their quarrel.She was barely resisting the urge to

She moved across the hallway on her toes. The servants quarters were a distance from their room so she was quite sure they weren’t aware of what was going on. In one hand was her pepper spray. She didn’t want to consider the fact that someone could be hurting him. She opened the door slowly as she peeked into the dark room. His sweet manly scent greeted her as she opened the door. She could hear his low breathing and pants.There was no way anyone could break into Nate’s house, he had the most secure security systems and the alarms would go off if anyone even tried as much to snoop around the building. She placed the pepper spray on the table as she made her way to the bed. The room was quite big and more spacious than hers. She moved slowly as the room was almost pitch black and she had only a ray of the moonlight to light up her way. She flickered a switch and light poured into the room from the bulbs.The room was designed with neutral colors and hints of earth tone, giving

She pulled out the first aid kit from a cabinet in the kitchen. She tried to keep her activity as quiet as possible. Nate instructed that the only condition he was going to receive any treatment was if she didn’t involve Maria or other servants. She stealthily crept up the stairs, the first aid box was awkwardly heavy so she had a little bit of trouble taking it up Nate’s room.There was a lot about Nate she was yet to figure out. It was just one night and she found out quite a lot about him. She placed the first aid box on a table close to the bed. His eyes were like that of a lost puppy. She knew he didn’t want her worrying about him but she was determined to help him regardless. “Are you going to tell me how you got this?” She asked as she soaked a gauze pad in polysporin.She had considered him driving punches into Anderson’s perfect face but dismissed the idea. Anderson also had tight security so it was going to be difficult to get on his yacht. “It was an accident” he

Rays of sunlight poured through the curtains, forcing themselves into the dimly lit room. Unlike the previous day, the day promised to be very sunny.Ruby tossed in bed as she struggled to open her eyes. She was having the best sleep and she wasn’t ready to wake up just yet. The familiar scent filled her nostrils and her lashes fluttered and she opened her eyes. The grey silk sheets felt so unfamiliar but comfortable. They weren’t her usual pink sheets with her teddy bear and throw pillows all over the bed. Neither were they the soft sheets of the room Nate offered her.Her eyes widened immediately at the realization. She had slept in Nate Jacobin’s bed!She gasped as she turned to his sleeping figure. He looked so relaxed in his sleep, better than how troubled he looked when he was having the nightmare. His hair was tousled in his sleep but somehow, it still looked perfect, of course only Nate could pull that off.Her eyes trailed down to his shirtless body. Wasn’t he wearing

She reluctantly crept out of the room when she saw him turn in bed. As much as she wanted to see his beautiful eyes and listen to his groggy voice when he woke up, she had other things to do. She planned on looking into the list of companies Anderson gave her. She took the first aid box back to the kitchen quietly. She felt sixteen again, like she was sneaking into the house after a long night of partying and sleeping with her boyfriend. The only difference was that when she was sixteen, she never did any of that and spent Saturday nights reading romance novels or watching romcoms. A sly smile played on her lips as she reached the bottom of the stairs. Now she understood why girls were so quick to sneak out of the house, the feeling was just too ecstatic. She remembered Nate didn’t want any of the servants finding out about what happened so she had to be as quiet as possible. She imagined the look on her parents face when they found out that their perfect, straight A daughter

When Ruby was done with her tea, she decided to explore. Nate was still asleep while Maria went out to get some groceries. Maria told her the gym was open. She needed to get some sweat in. She had gone months without visiting the gym.She changed into some more workout appropriate clothes and left for the gym. She checked up on Nate earlier, he looked so peaceful and relaxed in her sleep. The other servants included the chauffeur, a gardener and another housekeeper. Ruby didn’t see the need for their services but Maria explained Grace insisted on having them around. Nate’s room was the most abstract of all rooms in the house. He had designed the room himself while Grace did the rest of the interior decoration which explained why there were potted plants and the feminine wall art. The house wasn’t exactly so big but it was twice her apartment. There were a few rooms, most of which weren’t in use. Maria had also told her Nate hadn’t used the house in almost two years which exp

Nate yawned as he stretched lazily. He sat up in bed immediately as he looked at the wall clock, it was a few minutes past one o’clock in the afternoon. He had more than enough sleep for one day. He imagined how shocked and impressed his doctor was going to be when he told him he was able to sleep that long. He stifled another yawn as he turned to the other side of the bed. The sweet floral scent of her shampoo greeted him. He picked up the hair tie she forgot and played with it using his fingers.She had left his bed a couple of hours ago so he couldn’t feel her warmth. He frowned at his badly bruised fingers as images of the previous night's event started coming to him.After his argument with Ruby, he had thought of so many things that had upset him so he decided to go to the gym. Going to the gym meant lifting more weights and doing a few cardio exercises. The more he lifted the barbells, the more anger he felt. He was filled with regret and sadness, all of which he cou

The smell of bacon and eggs drifted towards his nose and he went downstairs. Before he went down, he had peeked at Ruby’s room but she wasn’t there. He had felt a little scared that she left him until he saw her luggages at the corner of a room and he felt relieved. “Hey sleepyhead” Ruby smiled as he walked into the kitchenAfter her gym section and cleaning up the gym, she decided to make breakfast. She disposed of the garbage filled with destroyed items faraway where Mari couldn’t get hold of it. For some reason, she felt Nate didn’t want anyone to know about it.She considered waking Nate up for breakfast but decided against it, it was obvious he hadn’t slept in days so he needed as much rest as he could get. “Umm hi” he stuttered a little as he rubbed his napeIt was a little strange having her cook in his kitchen. Most of the time, he ordered or had Grace cook for him. He had relieved his chef of her duties because he barely ate anything she cooked.Ruby was dressed in a
