Disclaimer: I own the DVDs, does that count? what? It doesn't? oh man :( *starts crying*
So, here is chapter two :) I'm sorry it has taken so long to update, I just couldn't sort it out enough for me! And I have to admit that there isn't any Harry/Ruth in this chapter *hangs head ashamedly* but I PROMISE that they will both be there in the next chapter (I hope!) anyways...on with the story :)
Chapter two...
It was early morning when Ruth finally got out of bed and staggered sleepily to the kitchen in her and Beth's flat. There was a note left there by the kettle
Ruth,
I've had to go into work because Dmitri says he needs me (I know what you're thinking-but don't I think it's anything like that...but never give up hope hey?) anyway, I know it is Sunday so I don't expect you to be in work, so I will see you whenever I get home, if it's late then don't wait up for me- just leave me some of that incredible cake which you are going to make today ;) (not that I'm pressuring you or anything!)
Much love as always, Beth xxx
Ruth finished reading the note and flicked the switch on the kettle. She then reached up and got Fidgets' cat food down and put it in bowl.
"You finished little guy?" she asked her cat when he stopped eating. She then made herself a mug of tea and sat down on the sofa-ready for a day of relaxing after her stressful week.
...
It was later that day when she got dressed and headed out the house to do some shopping. She was opening her front door when it swung open and she was faced with Beth.
"Where you off to then?" she asked Ruth
"Thought I'd go shopping. Why are you home so soon?"
"Huh" Beth huffed sulkily and closed the door behind her, hanging her coat up "turns out I shouldn't have hoped for anything, just work as always"
"Hang on, he is the one taking you to the party thing isn't he?"
"Well yeah, but..."
"No buts miss, I know he likes you- just give him time!" Ruth scolded gently, and pressed the button on the answer machine which was flashing
"Must have rang whilst I was in the shower" she said before it started speaking
You have one missed call received today at 12:45 *beep* hey there Ruth, it's Anna. Just to say that I don't need you to look after the little trouble maker anymore-I've had to cancel my plans. Call me though because we all miss you! Thanks darling, much love! *beep* end of messages
"What's that about?" Beth asked
"That was my best friend, Anna. I have apparently been let off my babysitting duties" Ruth replied
"Yes!" Beth cried "Right, out we go!"
"Out where exactly?"
"You've got a dress to get girl!"
"What?"
"You Cinderella are going to the ball!" Beth cried joyfully, but then stopped, hearing Ruth sigh and turned to her friend. "Oh Ruth, I can see it in your face. I know that it's been some time, but you have to see him some time and this might as well be it"
"But, I don't know if I can do this" She said, leaning against the wall
"Ruth, the man loves you and I'm 99.9% sure that you love him too" Beth told her "And so now we are off to town!"
Right, so that is that :) I hope people are liking this! Please please please let me know what you think (and if you want something to happen then let me know because i'd like to include it!) Thanks to anyone who reads this- I'm sending you all virtual hugs (and cookies if you want them!)
