Another Day to Cheat

"Believe me, princess, she's nothing but an opportunist golddigger! You can't see it because she's so good at her games." Rhoda lectured.

"I have told you times and again that you need to send that girl far away from you! But no, you wouldn't listen and now even your father thinks she is an angel!"

Ruth sighed and combed through her hair with her fingernails.

"Mum, you're just paranoid. Christine is not that type of person," Ruth defended Christine as she passed an apologetic smile to Christine who smiled in return before exiting the room.

She didn't want to imagine what Mrs. Davis could be telling her daughter on the other end of the phone. She was used to the woman's harsh behavior but she preferred not listening to all of that at all.

"Tell me, do you really love him?" Rhoda asked her daughter. Knowing the kind of child she had, she knew Ruth couldn't love such a daddy's boy but she had to somehow convince Ruth to do it anyway.

"Mum... Alex is so boring, I won't even lie about that. But the money is good and he is cute. So yeah, I love him!" She giggled.

Christine shook her head as her friend's response echoed in the room. She found herself slowly heading to the kitchen to try and tune out the mother-and-daughter conversation.

Just a few weeks ago, Ruth was fantasizing about Alex Pencraft and now she was bored of him.

Somehow Christine felt bad for Alex Pencraft because he was about to get married to a girl who had no feelings for him while he was head over heels for her. To make it worse, she was pushing him to do it.

But what could she do?

Alexander Pencraft was a good guy. He deserved to be with someone like Ruth. Their match would've been perfect.

He was so gentle and caring, he was every girl's ideal dream man; rich, romantic, sexy, charming, and down to earth.

Christine couldn't help but smile as the memories of their first date flashed through her mind. He was truly a gentleman and Ruth was so lucky.

Yet she didn't realize it.

Christine sat on the kitchen counter replaying her date with Alex. He was in every sense a perfect gentleman.

She had never been a fan girl for any man at all but there was something about Alexander that just gave off the promises of a better life.

Ruth rounded up the call with her mum and excitedly skipped to the kitchen, to catch up with Christine. She still hadn't told her everything that happened on that date.

As Ruth got to the kitchen, she couldn't believe her eyes. Christine was smiling to herself which was a really rare sight.

To top it to the brim, She was twirling her dark-loosed locks with her index finger, giggling even!?

Ruth was stunned. She wondered who made an empty-hearted Christine blush at his thoughts.

Surely it had to be a man. No woman smiled so much about another woman.

But Ruth shook her head as she canceled out that possibility. Christine was a strange woman.

She had known her long enough to know she could smile about the worst things.

It was best she just asked her, rather than stand there and guess.

Ruth sighed and snapped her fingers in front of a spell bound Christine.

Like a spell antidote, Christine jumped out of her fantasy to meet Ruth's intense gaze.

Her cheeks heated up as she suddenly felt ashamed of herself. She had been caught thinking about Alexander and that was wrong.

Christine hopped off the kitchen counter and picked an apple from the fruit basket on the kitchen slab and munched noisily on it just to create a distraction and hide her unease.

"So... who's he?" Ruth threw the dreaded question at Christine like a bombshell.

"Huh?" Christine tried to play dumb but Ruth wasn't buying it and pressed on with her questions.

"Tell me Christine, are you by any chance lusting after a man!?" Ruth demanded. She wiggled her brows and played the bad cop role.

"A man? What man?" Christine asked as her fingers started shaking.

Ruth wouldn't mind but Christine couldn't bring herself to say it.

Ruth narrowed her eyes on her friend as she suddenly remembered that Christine had been on a date with Alex which was technically her first date with any man at all.

"Wait... Were you thinking about Alex Pencraft?" She asked with dwindled eyes.

Christine felt her heart jump off her chest and she dropped the apple she had been holding.

This was the moment she dreaded. She couldn't tell Ruth what she had been thinking of. It might create problems and she didn't want that.

"What the hell Ruth? Why would you ever say something like that? You and I know how much Peter is committed to marrying you." Christine rebuked Ruth with a stern look on her face.

"I was just kidding babe. You don't have the guts to even get disciplined talk more than snatching my man." Ruth remarked chuckling and placed her hands on Christine's shoulder.

"Oh my God Christine, I can't believe you could hyperventilate by a simple prank," Ruth screamed when she felt the way Christine's heart raced.

"Yeah right!" Christine hissed as she walked out of the kitchen. She needed to be anywhere as long as it was away from Ruth.

She hated the fact that she had just lied to her best friend. The one person who accepted her for who she was —A nobody.

"Babe, come on. It was just a joke!" Ruth called after her but Christine refused to wait.

Ruth shrugged her shoulders as she went to pick the apple Christine had barely touched and ate it.

She was still enjoying her apple when her phone rang out.

The blaring sound jolted Ruth to her senses and she quickly swiped the answer button with a blush after confirming the caller.

"Hi baby," she said as her smile got wider.

"I miss you a lot, Ruthie," the husky voice said from the other end.

"I miss you too..."

"Just what I wanted to hear... Are you free?"

"Yes, I'm totally free next weekend," Ruth rushed to say. Her body already ached to be by his side just by hearing his voice.

"I mean right now, love," he clarified and Ruth blushed as she felt heat pass through her core.

"Right now?" She asked in almost a moan.

"Yeah... Now Ruthie..." His voice sent shivers to her core and the anticipation was starting to kill her.

"I will meet you in ten!" She blurted out.

Ruth ended the call with a giggle and ran back to her room to get changed. She wouldn't miss an opportunity to have Micheal's cock buried deep inside of her!

Never in a lifetime.

She got into a tight mini-dress and snatched off her car keys from the desk and headed for the door.

"Woah!" Christine cried out as Ruth almost pushed her off the porch.

"I am sorry babe. I have to go!" She yelled as she half ran past Christine outside the house.

"Where are you going in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Christine asked.

She was concerned for her friend. When she left the house, Ruth was in the kitchen. Did something happen? It hadn't even been ten minutes yet.

"It's nothing. I just need to catch up with Michael!" She yelled as she got into the car and started the engine.

Christine felt her heart drop —Ruth wasn't seriously doing this, was she?

"What?" Christine half yelled. "Did you even take a shower?!"

"I will explain when I return. Bye!" She blew her best friend a kiss and skidded out of the compound with her car.

As the car got to the road she pulled her hair down and let it rest on her right shoulder. It was true she hadn't even taken her bath, but Michael would take care of that.

Her core tightened painfully as she drove as fast as she could.

In less than thirty minutes she was parked in his apartment. She got down and waltzed her way to the elevator.

The doorman nodded at her as he knew her from her many visits to the place.

Ruth got inside the elevator and clicked on the level she intended to reach and then she waited with a racing heart.

"Look who ran to daddy..." Michael's low voice whispered as soon as the elevator opened.

Ruth didn't wait for an invitation before she clung to him and crashed her lips against his.

They fought for dominance as their lips overlapped one another right there in the corridor. Neither of them was bothered about the security camera right above them.

If anything was to leak, Ruth's mother would sort it out.

Michael expertly led her to his apartment and unlocked the door while still kissing her.

Her dress was long gone by the time the door opened. It was indeed going to be a long day.
