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

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

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

Echoes of their laughter filled the room. The coffee addicts had had several cups of coffee and they felt awake. It was a moment Ruby cherished. After they were done eating, Nate helped her do the dishes walking on sunshine played on the radio and they sang along. Nate couldn’t help wash the plates as his hands were still badly bruised and healing. A few minutes into their dining, she changed his bandaids. It was a peaceful kind of day, stress free. Just the two of them with no one to disturb them. “Are you going out today?” She asked as she rinsed the last plate She couldn’t imagine how empty the house would be without him. “No, do you have anything you want to do?” He askedShe sighed and then sat on the stool beside him. There were a lot of things for them together but she wasn’t sure just yet. The more she created memories with him, the harder it was going to be for her to live on from him. “No, not at all” she shook her head “Well, if that’s the case then, I h

Ruby took a long lazy bath, allowing her body to soak in the scent of the oils Maria put in for her. It was an unproductive day for her as she barely got anything done. She had spent the day sleeping and getting some rest. Her stomach rumbled which was her sign to leave the bathtub and go down for lunch. She hoped Nate was going to show up for lunch, she genuinely enjoyed eating with him.They had conversations about life and other topics which interested them. She was amazed at how he had a lot of interesting things to say on each topic, he was well spoken. Also, if he came down for lunch, not only would she get to enjoy Maria’s delicious cooking, she would have a chance to look at his handsome face while doing so. She wrapped a towel around her body and stepped out of the bathroom. It was her second night in the house so she was still living out of her boxes. She lathered her body in her body cream and sprayed a little perfume. Whenever she was with Nate, she always wanted t
