Ruby's Secret

Faith has it own plan. The dance floor glowed as red, green, blue laser beams shot out from the rotating lights in the ceiling. It was Friday night, and the club was packed with people dancing and jumping to the DJ's music. The floor pulsed beneath my feet, and the heat radiating from the mass was inescapable. My eyes roved over the tightly packed crowd. They remind of King Julius people from Madagascar movie as they huddle and dance matching each other rhythm and step. "What the hell is wrong with you man?" My best friend yelled in my ears, giving me a punch on my arms. His brown eyes turned black from the dim light. "Why the f**k are you sitting like dump up guy?" I shrugged my shoulder. "Not interested." "The hell you mean by that. Come on man, just choose any fish and eat it." I scowled at his metaphor. "I'm bored from all this meaningless s*x and monotonous flirting." He looked at me with wide eyes as if I just told him I am not a human. "Meaningless s*x?" All right I think I just over did it. s*x—I didn't mind but I was feeling restless. I was looking for something else lately. Something meaningful, deep. A connection maybe. I chugged my beer. "You go and enjoy the fish, I don't like sea food anymore." I replied. He barked out a laugh. His brown gel haired stayed in place as he comically laughed holding his stomach. I ignore him and stare down at my beer. Suddenly he stopped laughing as he gasped. "Bloody hell. Check that out." He exclaimed, letting out a high-pitched cheer leader sound. Not wanting to hear his rubbish banter, I turned around and follow his eyes. In the middle of the dance floor, a girl was dancing so sensuously that I couldn't help but stare. She moved like—she was asking for it. Her short, tight red dress covered her petite long hourglass body like a second skin, seducing every bloody male in the club. Her heels were spiked red—a sinner red colour. I might have drooled a little as she bent over and did something dreamy with her hips. Her smooth legs were looking long in those spiky heels. There was something captivating in the way she was dancing. Her body was moving in their own as she freely dance without any thought. "That fish is mine." My best friend yelled in my ears as he smirked at me making me annoy. I turned to look at him as he laugh pulling my cheeks. "So no sea-food?" He taunted, making me shook my head in disbelief. I turned again towards the dance floor and notice crowd gathering, blocking my view. I stood up and walked towards the floor and watch her from a few feet away. Suddenly all lights turned off and a single white circle shadow beam fell on her. I felt my heart skip as I notice her hair. Red. That was the first thing came on my mind. It was Red. Long, thick red hair, touching her waist as it sway with her hips. Her back was still facing me as I didn't got the chance to look at her face. She was touching her body with her hands and rock her hips seductively. Suddenly she turned around and her eyes clash with mine making my breathe hitch. Her eyes were green. Deep forest green. It was dark—dangerous yet sexy. I have never seen such pair of eyes in my twenty three of existing. The song changed and everyone started joining her. I tried to kept my eyes train on her but it was getting difficulty as everyone jump on the dance floor. A soft body sided up to me, reeking of alcohol and strawberry perfume. I looked down into a heavily cake up girl. She battled her eyelashes, pushing her breast into my side. I couldn't help but glance quickly at her cleavage. Her breast were staring at me. She was continuously biting her lips as her hand went towards my chest rubbing it back and forth. I gave her polite smile and move away from her touch but it look like she took it as a go sign. "Hey baby!" She purred. "Want to have some fun." I wanted to gagged as soon as she open her mouth. Her breathe was reeking of garlic and cheap beer. "I'm fine, thank you." I smile at her pushing her hand away as she put it on my arms. "Trying hard to get? I see." She licked her lips as she took her hair and put it on her left side giving me the clear view of her off shoulder top. It was kind of sexy the way she was holding her hair and naturally wave it from her shoulder. I wondered if that was a practiced move? I couldn't deny that, she is my type of girl. Big round eyes, plums lips, big breast, full ass and of course a blondie. I might be interested in her but today my eyes are on something else. I tried to look for her as I roamed my eyes all over the club trying to catch a red head girl. My eyes notice her as I watch her at the bar bending her head down with a tequila shot. "Come on baby, show we what you got?" The girl again tried to cooed me. My mind was in another planet or I can say, that redhead girl left me dumbstruck because I stopped thinking rationally as I tried to get away from this girl. And my desperation level was bigger than her getting inside my pants. So I spoke without thinking. "Sorry I have STD." The girl gasped as she took a step away from me. I hurriedly turned around and started walking to the bar. Sitting beside the redhead, I order myself a tequila shots. I was waiting for her to notice me but she was in her own world. I cleared my throat as she stirred and shot me a irritated look. I wanted to smile watching her funny expression but I stopped. "If you want to sleep then go somewhere else." As soon as those word left my mouth, I so badly wanted to take it back. Shit! s**t! She glared as she gulp down her shots. She was busy glaring at me that she didn't notice she also took my shots and chugged it down. "That's was mine." I pointed out. "What?" She slur with a soft voice. Picking up the empty shots glass, I dangled it, infront of her face. She made a round—O lips as she goofily smile shaking her head. "Sorry." She apologised. "I will buy you a drink." "No." I screamed taking her off guard. She looked shocked as she hold her heart giving me a are-you-crazy-look? "I don't want to drink it." I immediately answer. "Okay." She nodded and stood up from her chair. "Where are you going?" I asked her as I saw her stumbling on her feet. "Who are you..... my dad?" She spat. Feisty huh? She made a U— turn as she came and sat to my right where different bottle of alcohol was kept in a horizontal line. Without much thought she pick up a whiskey bottle and open it. The bartender open his mouth to protest but I signal him not to. I watch in amusement as she latch into the bottle like a toddler hungry for milk, she swallowed the remaining liquid as bitterness hit her taste bud making her wince but her face show how much she loved it. She was drinking it like her life was depending on it, she was drinking it, as it was her saviours , her medicine, her companion and remedy. As if it was numbing the pain I was noticing in her eyes, the grieving of love one. “Another bottle please.” She slurred keeping the now empty bottle. My eyes grew wide as I stare at her getting waste. I was impressed with her alcohol tolerance. I shook my head to the bartender and tap my glass asking him not to give her anymore. The bartender looked back and forth debating with himself whether to listen or not. “My bottle please.” She bang her hand on the table making the bartender flinch. I curse under my breathe as she also took me off guard. Trying to distract her, I started talking. “I change my mind, buy me a drink also.” She look at me from the corner of her eyes and frown. “Offer closed.” She grumbled waving me off. “Fine.” I shrugged my shoulder as I turned my chair toward her. “Then tell me what's your name, lady in red.” I asked with a flirty smile. I was not expecting any replied from her but she knew damn well how to blow up my mind. “You just said.” Frowning I looked at her in confusion. “What?” “My name.” She spoke as she snatch my glass from table and chugged it down. “That was mine.” I pointed out again. But she brushed me off. “Red.” Her eyes crash with mine making my heart flutter. My name — RED.” “Oh, that’s an unusual name. Never heard of such name before.” “Now you did. Call me RED.” She answered arrogantly. “I don’t believe you. Who the hell name their child RED?” I argue with her. She glared at me. “Listen here, Blue who the hell are you to decide what my name is...” “BLUE?” I repeated. “BLUE? LIKE COLOUR BLUE? Who the hell is blue?” I asked her with a tight lips. She threw me a annoyed look as she fisted her hair in her palm. “Why did you called me blue?” She huffed a sigh as she also turned her chair and now we are sitting face to face. She stare at my eyes for one whole minute without saying anything. A shiver crawl through my spine as if she was watching my soul. “Your eyes.” She whisper. “My eyes?" “They remind me of Ocean, deep Blue Ocean. Fresh air, freedom, breathe. I envy you.” My heart did a summer assault as I felt the nape of my hair rose. My heart started beating knowing she called me blue because of my eyes that mean she was also noticing me. I wanted to jump on the damn bar and dance till my last breathe. “So did everyone, Red.” I utter without breaking our eyes contact. “Everyone in this damn bar is jealous of me.” “Why?” She innocently asked as her green eyes dilated with curiosity. "Because I am talking to the most beautiful girl in this damn bar.” She chuckled as her eyes twist with an unreadable emotion. “You find me beautiful?” She smile shaking her head. “You are blind then. I am not beautiful." She nonchalantly laugh as I sense the hidden pain in her words. I wanted to find the person, who hurt her so much. She was in pain. She was lost. She was heartbroken. Did she broke up with her boyfriend or what? Did that bastard cheat on her? Hundred of question was swirling around my mind but I didn’t dare to aske her because I know she will be go back to her shell. “They are blind then. People who can’t appreciate beautiful thing are not human. They don’t deserve pure soul, Red and it's their fault that they cannot treasure a beautiful person like you.” I spoke my heart out as I saw emotion swirling around her eyes just for a mere second before it goes back to again dark green forest. She gazed me as if I spoke an alien word. She was damage. I can finally put a words to define her. “Let’s play twenty question.” I suggested changing the topic as I wanted to know about her more. She laugh at me. “I don’t know you and why would I play twenty question with you.” “Hey, Red what’s my name?” I sheepishly asked. “BLUE.” She immediately fire back. “See, we know each other.” She open her mouth to argue but nevertheless closed it and shooked her head. “Fine. But let’s play truth and dare it's more thrilling.” “Bring it on.” I rub my palm giving her my full concentration. “First me.” She said and look around the club. A smile twinkle in her lips as she mischievously grin at me. “I dare you to drink this up.” She pushed ten tequila shot on my way. “Are you trying to get me drunk?” “Why, isn’t that what you want?” She smirked. “No....Yes. But this is just too many.” “Don’t worry, I'll help.” She winked and picked up one glass. “Okay....we'll drink together.” I also picked one glass as we both clicked and chugged it down. The liquid burn our throat as we shook her head and laugh watching each other expression. Ten turn into fifteen as we both lost our count, The minute turned into hours as the glasses of shots kept emptying. We started talking, laughing, teasing, touching and dancing with each other. I can actually feel myself drunk as I watch her beautiful face turning blur for a second. We both move away from the bar and secured the corner sofa as we sat close to each other. She was sleeping on my shoulder as I tap my feet looking around the club. She started humming a song as I intertwine our finger and rub her palm. “Blue.” She hoarsely whisper. “Hmmm.” “Do you really find me beautiful?” She asked with insecurity laced in her voice. I move away from her as I cupped her cheeks and gazed at her forest green eyes. Her eyes show vulnerability, lack of confidence as she was searching my eyes to answer her, to make her feel worthy. “You are baby. You are the most beautiful girl, I have ever met. Believe me Red.” I cooed kissing her forehead as she close her eyes. Taking my hand in her she open my palm and kept her's as she looked up at me. “If I will ask you to do something for me, will you do it?” She chewed her lips nervously. Without any doubt I nodded. She paused as if she was memorizing my face. Her cold hand touch my face as I gasped closing my eyes. She touch my eyes, my nose as she rub the corner of my mouth. Her breath hit my lips as I gulped down my breathe. “Marry me?” Her words were weak and low yet powerful enough to make me break out of my dazed. I open my eyes as I looked at her in shocked. “Marry me, Blue.” The first time our eyes clashed , I knew it..... she will be my downfall. I was drunk or I was bewitched by her or I left my sanity at the airport as soon as I landed on Florida because within half and hour I was standing in front of the church facing each other as the father kept on yawning. “Do you take this woman, as your lawfully wedded wife?” The father looked at me with bored eyes as if he was asking me to hurry up so he can go back to his bed. “Y...Yes...” I stutter as I knew what I was doing is a life and death situation. This will changed my life. FOREVER. “Do you take this man, as your lawful wedded husband?” The father asked Red as she gave me a mega-watt smile . “YES.” She yelled with happiness. “By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.” My heart stopped as soon the father finished the words and made his way back towards his room. I froze on my spot as his words echoed on mind. Husband and wife. Husband and wife. Red tugged my hand as we walked out from the church. She dragged me towards the corner street alley and stopped right in front of some cheap looking rustic door shop. She open the door and dragged me in. As soon I enter I notice a small room with a table and office chair at the corner and a bald man with lot of tattoo smoking and watching some video on his cell phone. Hearing our footstep he looked up and started checking out Red. My protective side kicked in as I pushed Red, behind me and glared at the man. He cleared his throat and stood up. “What do you want?” “Tattoo.” Red jumped out from my back making me looked at her in confusion. “Tattoo?” I frown. “Yes, tattoo.” She exclaimed. “We don’t have wedding ring so I thought we should get a matching tattoo.” “No, Red.” I immediately spoke, taking her hand in mine. “But I want it.” She stubbornly said. “Red, look we will buy ring come let’s go out of here” “But I want a tattoo.” She glared at me and back away from my touch as I tried to grab her hand. Clutching my hand in a tight fist, I glared at her. “Fine. Go ahead but I’m not going to do this shit.” I also stubbornly answer. She rolled her eyes as she sat on the leather seat. The bald guy took out his equipment and stood infront of her. “Where do want?” Red stare at me as she smirked and I knew she was going to do something which will provoked me. And I was damn right when she slowly pull down the strap of her dress making me gulp down my breathe as I stare at her wide eyes. “Here.” She pointed out at her upper breast. “What do you want?” Without breaking our eyes contact she spoke with confidence. “Blue. I want you to write blue.” My soul left my body as my knee shooked from the impact. I freeze on my spot as I stare at her eyes. She was looking at me as if I am her world. The world she own, the world in which she can freely walk, breathe , run without any pain, without any fear. Because she knew I'll always protect her. And I knew then and their, I will die before I'll let anyone harm her. From this day on she will be the girl who own my heart, soul and body. Red stood up fixing her dress when I took her seat and open my jacket. “ Red.” I looked at her as she smiled. The pain I felt in that moment, was worth it as soon as I saw her name tattoo on my chest. I didn’t know how we came inside the room or who started kissing first. I was drunk, in alcohol, in madness, and in love. She was kissing me like I was the reason of her survival. Her soft hand touch my body as I shiver from the cold air. Turning her around, I started kissing her neck as I slowly open the zip and pull her strap down. It built delicious sensation all throughout my body as I left sweet kissed on her cheeks, jaw, neck down to her cleavage as I suck and bite. She hiccups making me stop as I felt wetness on her cheeks. What happened sweetheart?” I cupped her cheeks kissing her tears. “Don’t Leave me.” She begged. “ Please don’t ever leave me.” “I Won’t.” I promise reclaiming her lips kissing , running my hand from her waist to her hips down to her thighs. “Make me yours. “ Her green orbs sparkle as I saw the same lust which was burning in my own orbs. I started kissing hungrily, thrusting my tongue inside her mouth. Licking and tasting. Kissing her throat again with intensity, pressing my erection on her stomach. “Dammit Red, you’re so beautiful.” I murmured. “I want you so badly.” In one swift movement I throw her on the bed and kissed every inch of her body. I lavished her. I ate her. I feed on her like a starving animal. She squirmed and cried with pleasure when my lips touched the core of her femininity. Taking my position I thrust inside her. She cried making me stop as I felt the liquid and stopped. “Yo...you are...vir...virgin?” Her tears ran down from her the corner of her eyes. “Please don’t stop.” “Bu...but Red...I...” “Please baby...please...” She cried begging me as she pushed her hip forward making me fist my hand. I groaned in pain and started to move, pushing inside her hard and strong as I make her mine in every sense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I woke up at dawn. Feeling disoriented. I had a terrible headache and my eyes were sore. I looked around the room and groaned. Where the f**k I am? I immediately sat down and realized that I was naked. I felt a burning pain on my chest as I touched it and frown when I felt bandage. Standing up I walk towards the mirror. I have nail mark all over my chest and back. “Did I have s*x with a wild cat or what?” I slowly tugged the bandage off and my heart dropped on my stomach as I stare at my tattoo. RED. RED. RED. Last night memory came back with full force as my heart started beating. I can feel my throat clogging up as I look around for her. RED. RED, the woman whom I got married last night. RED, my wife. I was waiting. Waiting for her, as I sat on the bed. I didn’t go out thinking what if she come back. But deep down I knew, I knew that karma caught me. I knew the way I leave woman after one night stand, same thing happen to me. There was no sign of her as if she didn’t exist but I was holding on to our vows. I was holding on to her. I was waiting for my wife. Second passed into minutes and minutes turn into hours. I kept looking at door but she didn’t came leaving me with my first ever heart break.
