THE HEIR Chapter 40
The next weekend came faster than she expected,so she had to go on the trip since she wasn't able to come up with a better excuse. “Yes,I don't have a boyfriend! Is there something wrong with it?” She practised the reply she was going to give anyone who tried to talk down on her as she put her things inside her car trunk. After about two hours of driving,she got to the hotel they would be staying in Montauk for the weekend,she became happy when she saw Grace at the hotel lobby. “Hey! Finally you are here” Grace said and hugged her “Where is everyone else?” “I don't know. I haven't seen anyone since I came too. I guess we are the early birds” Ruby nodded as balanced her box well. “So I was thinking” she began to say “Can we room together? To cut cost” She suggested to Grace. “Room together? Definitely not” “Why?” Ruby asked and grabbed Grace’s hand. “Because you are not staying in your room alone. I got you covered” Grace said and tucked her hair behind her ears, waiting

“You both took so long to finally join us” Grace pointed out when Damian and Ruby finally joined the table. “We are sorry if we kept you all waiting. I have missed her face so much that I took some time to admire it” Damian gushed and pulled out a chair for Ruby who smiled at him for his kind gesture though was a bit uncomfortable. “Good thing you all haven't ordered” he added as he settled down “What do you mean?” Taylor asked as her eyes narrowed. “Dinner is on me” he snapped his fingers and the waiters who were already waiting at a corner with a food trolley marched towards their table and began to fill it up with a variety of foods. “Please eat all you want” he gave them a broad smile as they all stared at the foods that filled their table. Everyone except Taylor made it obvious that they were impressed. The fact that she,who was always winning against Ruby was now losing to her,made a part of her so angry, jealous and even felt resentment towards Jeremy for not becoming s

It was in the evening when Ruby finally opened her eyes. She had fainted earlier because Damian kissing her like that wasn't part of their plans. She never expected the kiss at all. She knocked her head when she remembered she closed her eyes. “You fool!” She scolded herself loudly. “You are awake?” Damian,who was sitting opposite the bed with his laptop in his hand said and she sat up immediately then watched him join her in bed. He touched her forehead to be sure she wasn't down with fever, because he was guessing that might be the reason she fainted. “What are you doing here?” Ruby asked and sat up immediately. “This is our room, remember?” “Oh.." she looked around and scratched the back of her neck awkwardly "Can...we not get another room? How can two of us share a room? We are adults” she pointed out. “Does it make sense for a couple to sleep in separate rooms?” He asked and stood up from the bed to get water from the fridge. “How will you explain that to your friends if th

The perfect frame of Damian standing by the window enjoying the nice view of the beach was what Ruby saw first as soon as she woke up. His left hand was in his trouser’s pocket while his right hand was holding a coffee mug. Ruby intentionally didn't make any sound because she wanted to take in his nice features for some time,until her phone rang loudly. She fell back to the bed immediately. Damian, who didn't know she was awake, turned to silent the phone so that she wouldn't be disturbed while Ruby kept her eyes shut like she hadn't woken up. “I know you are up. You are literally struggling to keep your eyes closed” he chuckled but Ruby didn't bulge. “It will be less embarrassing if you wake up now” he added and this time,she slowly opened her eyes. “It's morning already?” She asked as she sat up “I had a good sleep" she tried to hide her embarrassment. “Of course you had a good sleep,you are not the one who slept on the couch” “But you insisted on sleeping in it yourself. You s

Later in the night,Ruby wanted to go to the beach again and this time, Damian decided to follow her so that she wouldn't be left alone to face men like Jeremy. The two of them sat beside each other and slowly sipped the drinks they took with them as they enjoyed the view “This is so peaceful. I think the view of the beach at night has become one of the things I like” Damian said as he gazed out at the ocean. “I know right. It's perfect” Ruby looked at him and smiled. “You can come here sometimes with your fiancée” Ruby said and it was when the words came out of her mouth that she regretted it Why does she have to mention Veronica? Was she trying to let her jealousy show? Or was she trying to get some information about what their relationship really was? “With Veronica? I told you we are not a thing” he said without looking at her. Hearing again that they are not together made Ruby smile but she put on her straight face almost immediately. “Well, you left with her last time and I

Ruby smiled when she woke up and saw that she was wrapped in Damian's embrace. If she had known a real kiss with Damian would be so good,then she would have said yes to him the first time he let his intentions known to her.“So cute” she muttered to herself as she stared at him and touched his face. It all still felt like a dream to her. The professional side of her who didn't believe in office romance was gone,now she was an official fan of office romance.“I know I look good,now can we go back to sleeping?” Damian said and slowly opened his eyes.“It's already 9 in the morning. We should get ready to give back to NewYork”“Should we just run away and stay here forever?” He asked and smiled “I don't want to go back to that world full of chaos”“Well, you won't be lonely there anymore, because I'll always be there” she said and leaned in to kiss him. When she kissed him,Damian smiled before getting on top of her to start kissing her. “Can I ever get enough of you?” He asked when he

The loud sound of her phone ringing woke Ruby up,and without sitting up,she stretched her hand to grab it from her bedside drawer. It was when she brought the phone close to her face and saw that it was Damian calling that she sat up and beamed with a smile.“Hello” she said,not sure of what to say.“Hey. You're up. Did you sleep well?” Damian asked from the other end of the phone “Yes. How about you?”“Actually,I didn't sleep well”“Why? Are you not feeling good?” Ruby asked with concern.“Because I missed you so much”“Come on,what are you doing?” She blushed and cover her face like she was shy“I'm in front of your house. Let's go to work together”“What? I'm just waking up and I might take your time. I'll just come over to your place”“Since I'm here already,I'll wait. Take your time. Although,I want to see you as soon as possible” he said before ending the call “What? Does he want me to take my time or hurry up?” Ruby grinned and jumped out of bed. She kept smiling as she

“Should I call him to come over?” Ruby said to herself as she walked to the living room after taking a shower. “What if he is busy?” She sighed and threw the towel that was in her hand somewhere,but it fell on the floor lamp Mark gave her. Though they spent the whole day together at work sneaking around,being away from him made her long for his presence more.“He is my boyfriend, right? Why I'm I thinking too much about it?” She asked herself and grabbed her philosophy that was on the table to message Damian to come over to her place.“Do you mind eating pizza with me while we watch my favourite TV show?” She sent the message and began to pace around, waiting for his reply.DAMIAN: Babe,I'm sorry,but I'm kind of busy tonight. How about tomorrow? Ruby scoffed when she saw his reply. She had thought he would willingly accept her invitation and just rushed down to her place since she was his girlfriend and should be one of his priorities. “How can he say he is busy?” She went towards
