C2 Chapter 2

Ruby wore a short yellow dress that accentuated her beautiful legs and slender waist.

" How do I look?

She answered with a smile

" Great, my love, and now I'm going to the kitchen to make breakfast and you and get out of the house

grumbled angrily

" Oh lolly, am I going to be locked up because of my aunt?

Do you want your father to be angry?

" of course no

She patted her shoulder and said seriously

So, only hold your aunt for this time

She did not like to eat her breakfast and insisted that she stay in her room to listen to the music. The door to her room opened nervously

Ruby, what are those loud noises?

I replied indifferently

I hurried to turn off the music

" Your aunt and Louis are here.... Get up and say hello to them

Annoyed, she got up and followed her mother, so her aunt was sitting on the balcony, and her son Louis and her father interrupted their conversation, saying:

" Hello Aunt..Louis, how are you?

Her aunt Bilal said

Oh Robbie, how much I've grown into an attractive woman

She looked at her son and added with a smile

" Isn't it my son?

He answered her seriously, staring at Ruby with fascination

" Of course, mom

She sat next to her father, saying femininely

" Thank you, aunty. My dad always said that I look like you since I was young

Her facial features frowned at saying this, she likes to be a young woman for a lifetime, and she looked at her father wondering

" Aren't you right, dad?

Her father hesitated to answer, because he knew his sister and how she thinks

" Yes, my daughter... your aunt is still young and attractive to this day

Ruby let out a sarcastic sound

" Sure, my father. My aunt is still young. How old are you now?

Her facial expressions tense, and she hurried to say:

I'm going to the bathroom by your ear

Moments later, her father got up, and she and Louis were left alone. He asked her quietly

What is your ambition in this life?

She leaned back on her seat and said softly

He rolled her eyes around her, then added, tilting her head towards him in a low voice

His face turned sullen as he stared at her in shock

yelled at him reprimanded

" Shut up and reveal my case

Suddenly he noticed his mother and called her in a loud and confused voice

" mother Mother

I turned towards him in amazement

What's up son, I'll talk to your uncle Arthur and get back to you

Get up and stop her insistently

Later, talk to him

He grabbed his mother's arm and took her out of everyone's sight, but Ruby laughed sarcastically, she knew what was going on from the conversation between mother and son, she said arrogantly

" I'm fit to be a good actress, I can't believe I got rid of him

She was surprised by her father standing on top of her

" What did you tell Louis?

I got up to answer him indifferently

It's not important, Dad, I'll take a walk in the garden for a while

He stopped her in a firm tone

" Come with me to the office

She licked her lips in displeasure

What is it, dad? I didn't do anything wrong

Shut up and follow me to the office

As soon as she entered the office, he told her in a peremptory tone

Close the door behind you and sit in front of me

I obeyed his orders without hesitation

" What is there dad?

He sighed very tightly

" Louis doesn't look so good, I saw him talking nervously to his mother, and that's something I've never seen before

She raised her eyebrows in displeasure

" What do I have to do with it?

Reply to her excitedly

" That's what you always do, you make up things that don't exist and you plan so that no one will think of marrying you, why are you doing all this?

She got up, protesting her father's style

But I don't want to marry anyone, or rather they don't like me at all

Take a deep breath and try to calm down

Life will not last for anyone, and you should think about marriage, and your cousin Louis is a hardworking young man, and I am honored to marry you

She crossed her arms under her chest, frowning

" I don't like him, I don't like him. He's complicated and heavy in blood. I can't stand living with him

shouted at her excitedly

Will you marry Louis, like it or not?

Her eyes welled up with tears

" Dad, please, not Louis, I can't stand him

" This is the tenth person who proposes to marry you, and you refuse for flimsy reasons

Her tears fell sadly

" Can't you expect me to be with you?

Approach her comfortably

" It's not like that, my daughter, but your mother and I would like to secure you a good life before we leave this world

She embraced her father tenderly

So let me marry Jeremy, he's the one I love

Get away from her harshly

Are you crazy about how you want to marry a pervert?

" He's not a pervert, he and I love each other

He walked away from her and sat behind his desk and said in all seriousness

Well, I agree, but on the condition that you show your friend a perverted young man, I will marry you to any man I see fit

She wiped her tears and said cheerfully

" Agreed, Dad, and I'm sure I'll be the winner

Arthur said to his sister

Aren't you coming to Ruby's party tomorrow?

She was about to speak, but Lewis interrupted her firmly

We're sorry, uncle, but I have an emergency job and I have to go back

He sighed with a narrow smile

Well, son, I hope you will visit again

His sister Fabiana answered him with great displeasure

" Yes, brother.. and now bye

As soon as they left, Ruby hurried to her room and fell on her bed with great satisfaction

I can't believe I got rid of them so easily

She called her friend Jeremy

Oh, my God, Jojo, I just got a heavy load off my shoulders

ask her quietly

" Really... I believe in your super intelligence, what did you do exactly?

" Forget about this now... and tell me when are we going to get married?

She replied in shock

" marriage!

She raised an eyebrow, surprised by his reaction

Yes, Jeremy, our marriage, don't you hear well?

" Yes..yes I understand now

I interrupted him cheerfully

" It would be a nice surprise to announce it at my birthday party

He agreed nervously

" Ah... yeah, that sounds like a bad idea... I mean, a great idea

In the evening Robbie and her parents gathered at the dinner table and he sipped a little from his cup of coffee and said to his wife

Who do you expect to meet today, Ramona?

I asked in amazement

" I don't know... who?

He said seriously, with a wide smile on his lips

Our friend's son, Pablo

She let out her thoughts for a while, then said:

" Pablo...Pablo

Soon, her eyes sparkled with a sparkle

" Oh, do not say Pablo the gypsy, who rescued us from the predicament we faced on the borders of Spain

nod her a name

" And he is... I met him when my car broke down and he fixed it

Ruby asked,

" I never heard of this story before. Who is Pablo the Gypsy?

He smiled at her as he answered

" Your mother and I were robbed and put all our legal papers in. They referred us to the police and started interrogating us, thinking that we were fleeing from the law.

" But I don't remember that

Her mother laughed, saying,

" This is because you were not born yet... We became very frustrated because of the investigations, so we decided to escape, your father and I, and there we met Pablo, who helped us escape and hid us in the gypsy camp.

cheerfully chanted

" Sounds like a nice adventure. Let's go on. What happened next?

Her father answered seriously

We stayed for about two months with them and got to know Pablo and his family

Ramona said to her husband

" But how did you know it was his son?

" Because of the great similarity between them, he was a strong and stubborn boy, do you remember how he rode his father's horse in defiance of him

I giggled laughing

" I miss those days, but what brings him to this town?

She agreed with a soft smile

" Good that you did

Ruby got up

" Good night. I'm going to sleep now... I feel so tired

Her mother grumbled as she looked at her plate

" But you haven't eaten anything and you're much thinner than before

I walked away from them indifferently

I don't feel hungry, mom

The next day, it was seven in the evening, and Ruby was still getting ready in the room.

" This is the eighth dress you're wearing and you don't like what to do now, my back will break because of you.

She pursed her lips in displeasure as she sat on the bed

Oh lol how annoying I am

Lolita sighed

You must decide now that the invitees are beginning to arrive now

She took a short green dress, tight from the top and wide from below the waist to the knee, she asked,

" How do I look in this dress?

He turned around with a wide smile

" Very beautiful... Everyone will be impressed when they see you

I laughed jokingly

You're exaggerating, lol.. it's enough to attract one person's attention

Megan asked her

What about your friend Jeremy, I don't see him?

I was anxiously checking the guests

" I don't know... I don't know

Megan said with a stinging sarcasm

He might disappoint you and he won't come

I looked at her defiantly

He'll come, I'm sure, he promised me

She drank from her cup and responded coldly

" We will see that

Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by Maya's surprised voice

" Do you see what he saw?

The girls' eyes widened, and Ruby said in amazement

" What do you see?

" The person who just walked in, isn't it the same guy you threw water at?

Her facial features scrunched up as she looked at him

" What is he doing at my party, how dare he come?!

Megan said provocatively

A stranger might have come to take revenge on you

I flinched at this phrase

Megan went crazy, but how did he know my home address?

Megan's answer

" Maybe we caught his car....Imagine what he would do to you

She shook her head nervously, dismissing the idea

This is crazy, such things won't happen

Megan said while pointing at her cup

It seems your friend has never let you down

Her eyes flashed, smiling comfortably, forgetting the man's order as she stared at her friend Jeremy who was coming towards them

I was sure of that.
