Sapphair and Ruby

Chapter 18

Sapphair (P.O.V)

I just finished serving the dinner and Sir still hasn't come. I was going upstairs to my bedroom, when I bumped into Ryan.

"We should stop bumping into each other like that." He said.

I smiled at him shyly. What was happening to me, why was I suddenly feeling shy around him.

"You look cute when you blush." He said.

If I wasn't blushing before, now my face was red like a tomato.

"Thanks" I said putting my hair behind my ear.

He laughed, "Where you going?"

"Oh I just finished serving dinner and was going to my bedroom" I said.

"Well, I was going to walk around the garden, if you don't mind, you can join me" He said.

"Sure" I said. We walked to the garden and I was mesmerised by the different colour of the flowers.

"So tell me about your self" He said.

"What do you want to know" I said sitting at the bench in the garden.

"How about your favourite colour and food" He said.

I laughed. "You want to know about my favourite food and colour. Well I love Pizza, its the best and my favourite colour is Black" I said,

"Wow" He said with a shocked face.

"What so shocking about my choice" I said.

"No, Its just that Sir Blake choice is the same" he said.

"Sir Blake?" I said.

"Yeh, the person who trapped your sister in the dungeon" He said.

"Oh his name is Blake "I said.

"Yeh why, you didn't know" He said.

"Forget about Blake, tell me about your self" I said.

"Well, what do you want to know?" he said.

"Anything you want to tell me" I said

"Well, My dad died when I was just 7 and since then my mum raised me up." He said.

"Oh, I am sorry about your father" I said.

"its OK, I was only young" He said.

"So how did you came here to work with the ass hole Blake." I said.

"Well after my dad died, the business he ran went into loss, which made us move house. My mum got us a small flat and a small job. Even with all the hardship, she still raised me and last year she felt sick and lost her Job. We were still low on money and I was really upset, so I went to the bar to take all my worries out and that was where I found Sir." He said.

"Blake, inside a bar, what was he doing" I asked curious.

"You dont want to know, what he was doing in the bar" He said with a smirk.

"Come on, how bad can it be" I asked.

"Fine you asked for it, well he was snogging a girl and she was barely wearing anything" He said.

My mouth was open, Shocked was an understatement." I never knew he had it in him" I said.

"I was shocked as well, But he saw me upset and told the girl he be back and then they can take it to the bedroom to finish what they started" He said.

Now I was really shocked. Suddenly, I felt a pang of something, which I didn't know inside my heart. Confused, I looked at Ryan, who looked at me with an eye brow raised.

"Are you OK" He asked

I put my hand on my heart and smiled up at him. "Nothing, I don't know I felt something in my heart" I told him.

"Oh someone jealous" He said.

"Me, what, I am not jealous" I said hurriedly.

"Relax I am joking, Its not like your jealous to hear about Blake being with another girl" He said.

I felt the same pang again and decided to ignore it. No way I was jealous, Why would I be jealous?.

"Your right carry on" I said.

"Well, sir came up to me and told me why I was upset and as I was drunk, I told him everything and he said he wanted an personal assistant and told me I could take the job. I was really happy and here I am now" He said.

"Wow, so how long have you been working for Blake, and how is your mum health now" I asked.

"1 and a half year and my mum health is good. We live in a good flat and its all because of Sir without him, I dont know where I be now, Probably on the street" He said.

"Wow" I said shocked at Blake generosity.

"If he is so nice, then why is he a jerk to us poor people, what's his problem with us" I asked.

"Its not my story to tell, you would have to ask him, all I can say is that It is not good" He said.

I thought of everything I heard about Blake, what is his story, I knew I had to find out. "Um Ryan, why can't we go to the third story" I said.

"To be honest I don't know, this is something which sir hasn't told me" he said

"Since your close to him, why don't you ask" I said.

"Even though we are close, I am still just a assistant to him and I haven't got the right to ask him, I just follow order" He replied.

"Oh" I said.

"Anyway, tell me about your history, how did you end up here with your sister?, how on earth did sir let you stay"he asked.

I froze, as much as I wanted to tell Ryan the truth I couldn't, So I just told him what I told Victoria.

"Well, me and Ruby were on the streets and 2 drunk people came and started to come toward us. They looked really dangerous, so we started to run and to hide our self, we saw a car and hid in the boot of the car and before we could get off, the car drove off and bought us here. Victoria is really nice, so once I told her the story she told us we can stay and convinced her son as well" I said.

"Wow, so don't mind me asking how did you end up on the streets?" He asked.

I tensed up when he asked me that. "Sorry, you don't need to tell me, I should not have asked" He said and got up to leave.

I grabbed his hand and he looked down at me and then at our hands.

"Stay, please" I said. Ryan told me everything about himself and I lied to him. He deserve some truth and at last this time, I would't lie to him which might make me less guilty

He sat down next to me, but didn't let go of my hand, Instead he shocked me by interwining our fingers together and I let him.

"Ruby was just 6 when an incident happened which led us to the street.He squeezed my hand to let me know that he was listening. It was just like a normal Friday and mum was cooking our favourite dish. Ruby was annoying my mum and my dad was sleeping on the pillow. My mum got fed up and told me to take Ruby outside to the park until she finished cooking, so I took her to the park. After about 30 minutes, we heard shouting and ran to see what happened. A house was on fire and soon I found out it was ours". I knew I was crying infront of Ryan, but I didn't care.

"You know you can stop" He said.

"No, I need to get it off my chest, don't stop me" I said.

He just nodded his head so I carried on. "Soon ambulance came and they took 2 bodies out from the house. Ruby was crying when we saw it was our parents. I still remembered the day as it happened today. I remember me and ruby running to the ambulance, telling our parents to wake up, but they didn't. I remember the funeral, when we buried them, I remembered the day, when the counsellors came to us and told us that we have to be fostered. I remember the day, when they told us that we couldn't be together and that they found 2 homes, pole apart from each other, who wanted a child, a single child. I remember when we pleaded with them that we didn't want to separate but they didn't listen, so we ran and ran and never looked back and we ended up on the streets." I said sobbing and Ryan hugged me and I wrapped my arms around him and I felt safe.

After some time, he gave me the tissue so that I can blow my nose. After I finished he told me that it was sometimes OK to cry and let it out. I looked up at him. "Thanks" I said really meaning it. He looked at me and I looked at him. I knew what was coming next, when he leaned forward, so only for today, I let it happen, I let my worries away and I closed my eyes, when his lip touched mine.

The kiss was full of passion and sorrow of both of us. We finally pulled apart and then I realised that this was my first kiss and it was with Ryan. We both looked at each other when we heard a shout.

"WHAT THE FUCKKK, WHO DID THIS?, THEY ARE SO DEAD!!!!!!"

I gulped at the sound of Blake anger. I guess he got his surprise. Ryan looked at me shocked and stood up to see what happened.

"Um Ryan" I said. He looked at me.

"It was me" I said. He looked at me confused. "What" He said.

"I mean that Blake screamed, because of me" I said.

"But you were here" He asked confused.

"Well, not at me, but at what I did" I said.

He narrowed his eyes at me."What did you do" He asked.

"Um, I did it for revenge, He locked my sister in a dungeon, I wasn't going to let him go, was I now" I said.

"Tell me what you did, come to the point" He asked angry. I blinked my eyes at his anger.

"Umm, well.." I stuttered.

"TELL ME DAMN IT!" He shouted. I jumped up at his anger scared now.

" I painted his bedroom pink" I said in a rush

He looked at me in disbelief, like he couldn't believe what I just said.

"You what" He said

" I painted his bedroom pink" I said. I thought he might laugh but what he said next shocked me to hell.

"How could you, I thought you were different, but your just like everyone else, selfish, just forget we ever met" he said

"But, the kiss" I said.

He laughed. I kissed lots of girls, you are like every other girl, hope you didn't get the wrong impression that you were special. The kiss meant nothing to me" He said in anger.

I stopped my self from crying, I was not going to cry. " So why did you kiss me" I asked heart broken.

"Its been a week, I haven't kissed a girl and you were looking up at me like a lost puppy, so I thought why not kiss you to fulfil my need." He replied.

I looked at him in a hurt way. "Oh, don't tell me, that this was your first kiss, even though the way you kissed, it looked like your first. Also one more tip, watch videos on kissing before you kiss anyone else" he said and stormed off in anger leaving me in shock, disbelief and heartbroken.

I just sat there upset and was just going to cry but jumped up, when I saw an angry Blake coming toward me and behind him was Ryan.

"It was her, she did it sir, she just told me" Ryan said pointing at me. I stood there in disbelief, I told Ryan everything, well not everything, but something which I hid from everyone and this is what he does, He bated me out. I just stood there in anger, disbelief and most of all betrayal.

I gulped at Blake anger and wish the floor could swallow me whole.

I closed my eyes and did the one thing I was good at, I ran.
