Ruby & Victor- Monsters
Part One
Ruby couldn't sleep as she was filled with constant anxiety over it being a full moon outside, she gripped tightly onto the bedsheets she was lying on as if by pure strength she could control it! If only she thought darkly to herself feeling like she usually felt when this situation occurred. Alone. Scared and most of all a Monster. Ruby felt the moisture spill down her cheeks silently as she looks straight towards the light glaring brightly into her room through the curtain,
"Please please don't do this please?!" She begs hating every minute of this evening when she jumps slightly as her phone beeps on the small bedside table beside her,
"Hey Wolf! It's fellow monster Frankenstein here just checking in. Just let me know your okay?" Ruby smiles down at the text suddenly forgetting her fears as she grins to herself replying back,
"Am now. Thanks buddy I really needed that. Will hit you up with a free coffee tomorrow!" She exhales slowly placing the phone back onto the table her mind starting to wonder about Victor and how close they had gotten in the last couple of months. It had all started after she had saved him and made him realise that he could still help people out, the following evening he had made her dinner as a way of thanking her and since then they have been hanging out every evening practically! Ruby huddled under her duvet clasping her hands together imaging that he was here holding her hand as she closes her heavy eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
The next morning Ruby had woken up feeling relief that she appeared to have not changed during the night as she cheerily gotten dressed ready to open up the cafe,
"Morning Grandma!" She says happily sitting herself down at the table as grandma places pancakes in front of her,
"Morning dear. Oddly chipper today?" Her grandma asks watching a smiling Ruby,
"Yeah. I had a good night grandma. Besides its a nice day today!" Grandma smirks knowing exactly why Ruby was so cheerful,
"So no plans with dr. Whale then?"
"Not sure. Why? That doesn't bother you does it?"
"Course not dear" she chuckles lightly squeezing Ruby's hand before doing the dishes,
"I will see you in a bit. I have somewhere I need to be" Ruby says rushing out the house and making her way to his house,
"Ruby? Everything al..." Ruby thrusted herself into him her lips locking onto his giving Victor a moment before he responds pulling her closer and closing the door behind her,
"Well I've never had a welcome like that before!" Victor says grinning as he strokes Ruby's hair making her close her eyes for a moment,
"I needed you to know Victor!" Victor sensed her serious tone and lightly lifts her face to look at his as he studies her expression,
"I've upset you" he states making his heart fall as that was the last thing he wanted,
"No. You have made me realise Victor. I want you. I am in love with you and I'm afraid of what that means..." It was Victor now who locked lips passionately onto Ruby's making her heart rate fast never wanting the kiss to end. Unfortunately she had to leave as she had to help open the cafe so hesitantly she said a goodbye and made her way to work feeling a mixture of overwhelming joy and overwhelming fear as she got on with her tasks. Victor came in about half eleven looking rather hot and smart in a suit making Ruby smile dreamily over at him,
"Hey"
"Hey. So what can I get you?"
"How about a kiss for starters and a Coffee?!" Victor says flirting as he leans over the counter making Ruby laugh lightly before kissing him;
"Ah finally!" Grandma says making them both laugh happily as they take hold of each other's hand,
"I'll get your coffee" Ruby says turning towards the coffee pot and pouring coffee into a cup before handing it to Victor,
"Thanks wolf. Hey uh how bout we continue from this morning later on?"
"Good to know we both on the same wave length!" Victor laughs lightly,
"See you later then"
"Yeah bye fellow monster!" Ruby watched him as he leaves the cafe then turns to find her grandma frowning,
"What I do?!"
"Do you really need to refer to yourselves as monsters?!"
"Why not? It's what we are essentially. Besides if we don't laugh we cry and where would that get us?!" Ruby continued serving her tables and keeping busy under the watchful eyes of her grandma who was filled with concern for her.
Ruby after pulling every outfit out her wardrobe had managed to find something she felt good in as she knocks on his door her heart racing,
"Hey?" Victor lets her inside where Ruby finds candles lit and music playing making her smile touched,
"You went to so much trouble!"
"Well it's not everyday the girl you love tells you they feel the Same"
"Wait? What? You love me?" Ruby asks as Victor takes her hand in his looking sincerely into her eyes making her melt slightly,
"Of course I do! As long as when you helped me that night. What you said it made me realise...I am in love with you Ruby I am not scared cause I know we can get through anything!" Ruby felt slightly lightheaded as she took this information in,
"You know that in full moon I can change"
"Ruby your not a monster not in your heart. You won't hurt anyone ever again!" Ruby felt her eyes water as she chews her lip flashing back to finding out she was a wolf and that she had killed the boy she loved, Ruby shakes her head sobs heaving out of her,
"I can't do that again...kill someone I love...not you too Victor!" Victor pulls her closer and looks at her his eyes firm,
"Now listen to me Ruby. I promise you that I won't never let you go through that again! I won't let you hurt again!" Ruby lays her head onto his chest making him wrap his arms around her and comforting her realising how vulnerable Ruby really was on like the confident girl she made out. Later on the both lay on his sofa cuddled together,
"Sorry for ruining the evening"
"You haven't. Ruby everything's going to be okay now. You believe me don't you?" Ruby nods her head slowly,
"I feel like an idiot Victor. Here I was for once getting a special night with a really amazing guy and what do I do I cry!" Victor kisses her head,
"The night is still young Wolf!" Ruby smiles looking into his eyes as she slowly leans closer their lips brushing tenderly before the kiss deepens as the candles burn out.
