Billionaire's Secret Baby

CHAPTER THREE

Ruby stood outside the magnificent hotel building, she didn’t know anywhere in Las Vegas, how would she get home, she stared at her phone for a second, and then she decided to call Naomi

Hey girl still in bed?...sorry for disturbing your sleep, can you please pick me up? She asked feeling sorry for disturbing Naomi’s sleep but she had no choice.

Sure...where are you at? Naomi asked in a sleepy voice.

“Grand Hotel” Ruby replied

“Grand hotel?” Naomi asked in disbelief

“Yea please hurry I’m standing outside”

“Okay I will be there in ten minutes” Naomi assured her before ending the call.

Ruby couldn’t help but count down to Naomi’s arrival, she felt uncomfortable standing outside the hotel drawing a few glances from the hotel guests going in and out of the hotel. She decided to play a game on her phone to pass the time.

It had past fifteen minutes since her call with Naomi, Ruby was getting uneasy and frustrated. She was about to call Naomi back when she heard a familiar voice.

“Ruby I’m so sorry for keeping you here the traffic was hectic” Naomi explained.

“No problem I’m just glad you are here now, let’s go” Ruby said eager to leave. They both got into Naomi’s car and drove off.

Immediately the car came to a halt at the parking lot in Naomi’s apartment, Ruby dashed out of the car into her room. She was trying to avoid Naomi’s questions as she knew her friend would want to hear every little detail of last night's encounter and she was not ready to spill the gist. She kept wondering why the handsome stranger would leave without telling her or at least drop a contact info. She couldn’t get him off her mind and it was driving her crazy.

She locked her room door and went into the bathroom for a quick shower, stepping out with her towel wrapped around her chest and water dripping from her hair, she saw Naomi sitting on her bed, she was startled by Naomi’s presence

“ I thought I locked the door,” Ruby asked with surprise evident on her face

“Yeah about that...the lock is bad” Naomi replied with a wide grin

“Oh...okay...can I help you with anything? ” Ruby said while trying to keep herself busy to avoid the pending conversation.

“Come on Ruby, you know why I’m here just spill the gist already” Naomi said trying to persuade Ruby

Ruby knew she had to tell Naomi about her night. They have never kept secrets from themselves but she didn’t know how to tell her best friend that she just had the best night of her life with a total stranger and by the time she woke up he was gone. Was she that bad in bed she queried herself inwardly, even if she was, he shouldn’t have left like that. Ruby was not a virgin but she was not experienced when it came to s*x and she knew that so she thought her inexperience chased the handsome stranger away or he was just a jerk.

“ Fine I will tell you all about my night but first let me change into something comfortable, dry my hair and eat something, I’m starving,” Ruby said

“Okay I will order pizza, hurry up,” Naomi said as she was leaving the room

Ruby put on her favourite loungewear, and quickly dried her hair as she was really hungry. It was past noon and she hadn’t eaten anything. She walked out of her room in time as the pizza was just delivered she walked straight to Naomi, grabbed the pizza, served herself a slice and started eating.

“Aren’t you eating?” She asked Naomi with a mouthful

“I will, you seem so hungry, are you okay” Naomi asked with concern visible on her face.

“I am fine” Ruby replied still stuffing her mouth

After eating they both cleared the table. Ruby was praying Naomi would forget about their pending conversation and just let it go. Naomi walked out of the kitchen with two glasses of wine.

“Now we’ve eaten Ruby time to spill” Naomi said handing her a glass of wine

“Nothing happened after you left, I ordered more drinks and a handsome stranger walked up to me and I took your advice and got laid” Ruby said hurriedly feeling embarrassed

“Come Ruby give me details” Naomi sounded excited

“I flirted with him for a bit and somehow suggested I was there to hook up with a guy so he took me to Grand Hotel and we had a great time but he was gone before I woke up”.

“So what’s his name?... How was his physical look?... How was the s*x?” Naomi bombarded her with questions

“He didn’t tell me his name, for his looks he was the most beautiful human I have ever seen and the s*x was out of this world I have never felt this way about s*x before” Ruby replied truthfully

“So we don’t know who he is but judging from his choice of hotel, he must be rich” Naomi said

“Yea I think he is” Ruby replied sadly

“You don’t seem excited Ruby for the first time in your life you did something out of your comfort zone and it was that bad, you had a nice time,” Naomi said trying to cheer Ruby up

“I know but still I feel like he should have at least told me his name, you know?”

“Ruby brush it off it’s a one-night stand you're expecting”

“Nothing...I guess”

“Welcome to Las Vegas,” Naomi said with a smile indicating one-night stand isn’t a big deal in Las Vegas. Ruby sipped the wine still pondering on what would have been.

“Before I forget, I spoke to an acquaintance today and he told me that Teeka Interiors is hiring, the salary isn’t much but it is manageable, I don’t know if you are interested”

“Of course I’m interested...what position are they looking to fill?” Ruby asked eagerly

“Receptionist position” Naomi replied

I’m interested”

Okay I will call him and let him know”

Thank you Naomi I appreciate all you’ve been doing to get me back on my feet” Ruby said feeling grateful for having a friend like Naomi

It’s fine I know you would do the same for me and even more, so it’s fine” Naomi said with a smile and then leaned in to hug Ruby. Naomi called her acquaintance and scheduled an interview for Ruby, she ended the call after taking down the details for the interview.

“Ruby your interview is next month, the CEO is out of town on a business trip and he loves to interview his staff himself” Naomi relayed the details to Ruby

“That gives me enough time to prepare” Ruby said feeling optimistic

She retired to her room as she was already tired, she was grateful for how her life was going and with a smile on her face, she dozed off.

Ruby had been counting the days to her interview, she needed the job. She had researched Teeka interiors and was preparing herself for the interview.

**********************************

“Ruby come out, breakfast is served” Naomi shouted

She rushed out of her room in anticipation “ What did you cook” She asked Naomi as she walked into the kitchen

“My special pancake” Naomi replied feeling proud of her mastery of the kitchen

“I want four” Ruby said

Oh someone must be hungry” Naomi teased “I’m also brewing coffee, want some?

Yes, please.

Naomi served her friend while making little conversations

Hope you are preparing for your interview, it’s in two days” she asked

Yes I am” Ruby lifted her mug to sip her coffee and as soon as the aroma hit her nose, she started feeling nauseous so she ran to the bathroom to throw up

Ruby are you okay” Naomi asked with concern

I don’t think so, I have been feeling nauseous, tired and dizzy for a few days now” Ruby replied weakly

Ruby when was the last time you had your period” Naomi asked

“I don’t know...I haven’t seen it since I got to Las Vegas...Oh my God” Ruby began to panic

“Calm down, I think I have a pregnancy test kit, we can use” Naomi dashed into her room, and in no time she came out with the pregnancy test kit and urged Ruby to pee on it.

Ruby took the pregnancy test kit and ran into the bathroom, she hurriedly took the test and waited for five minutes to get the result as instructed. The wait was the longest, time couldn’t go any slower. She couldn’t be pregnant Ruby hoped and prayed, she can’t be pregnant at this point of her life.
