Hi guys! Golly this should be a record for Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this next installment of STYW, and I love you guys, lots of kisses.:*:*:*
So I tried to call across the hall, to ask you out someday. But a line had formed outside your door, and I was way too late.
Ruby bites her lip, looking herself over in the mirror, she takes a breath and puts on a smile.
"Hi again! Uh…I just wanted to know if you wanted to spend the night roaming around Boston! With…me…uh… Oh god Ruby you're killing it!" She huffs, running her hand through her hair. She takes another breath, frowning at herself.
"Okay Rubes, just…go ask her to go sightseeing, that's all." She says softly, resting her hands on her hips. She nods, feeling a bit more comfortable. She blows out a breath and heads out of her apartment, heading to the girl next door. She licks her lips nervously, and rubs her palms on her pants. Why was she so nervous all of a sudden…probably because her wing woman wasn't here…her and Ems could charm women no problem if they were together. She lifts her hand and knocks softly. She waits for a moment and starts to lose her confidence. Dammit, what if she wasn't home…The door opened and her head snapped up and she gave the beautiful Aussie a toothy grin.
"Hi, Belle." She says, sticking her hands in her back pockets. The brunette giggles and leans against the door.
"Hello Stranger." She purrs, batting her eyelashes. The redhead gulps quietly and her brain flat lines.
"Uh…" She stutters and blushes a bit when Belle starts to laugh.
"You okay?" She asks, tilting her head, watching the redhead curiously.
"I..was wanting to know if you wanted to go uh…see the sights with me, lemme show you around town and stuff?" Ruby smiles nervously, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Belle smiles and she bites her bottom lip.
"Oh Ruby I would love to…"
"But…?" The redhead starts to deflate, lowering her head like a sad puppy.
"Mr. Gold from down the hall invited me to dinner tonight…maybe I could go with you tomorrow?" Belle says, her eyes looking down for a moment before meeting Ruby's. The redhead tenses, hearing his name, she almost growls. That perverted old fucking fart! She keeps her face composed and she smiles, happy that Belle still accepted her request to go out tomorrow night.
"So…during the day, or do you trust me enough to take you out at night?" She teases, giving Belle a charming wink. The brunette giggles and bites her lip.
"I guess you'll just have to see, won't you?" Ruby feels her heart flutter at the teasing game that they were playing.
"I…guess so…you settling in okay?" Ruby asks, biting her bottom lip as her eyes roamed over the smaller brunette in front of her.
"Yeah! Absolutely…I found a cute little coffee shop a few blocks away from the library that I work at." Ruby grins and nods.
"Oh yeah?" She asks, leaning against Belle's doorframe. The brunette nods and bites her lip again.
"Mhm, very cute, very small." Belle says with a slight nod of her head. The redhead grins and clears her throat.
"Um…well…I uh, better go then, um…I'll see you tomorrow, sometime?" Ruby asks, giving Belle a small smile. The Aussie nods and bites her lip. She drums her fingers on the door and opens the door wider.
"Could I invite you in for a minute or two? To repay for you kindness to me the other day?" She asks. Ruby bows her head and she grins in return.
"I would love to." She says, stepping inside Belle's apartment. The once bare shelf was now filled to the brim with books. The couch was still placed in the middle of the room, directly in front of the small 30in flat screen TV that was resting about a glass TV stand. Ruby looks over the walls, admiring her pictures on the walls.
"Did you paint these?" She asks, pointing to one that caught her eye in particular. It was a wolf, watercolor and howling at the moon. Belle smiles and blushes in embarrassment.
"Yes, I did actually." She says, heading into the kitchen. The redhead whistles in amazement, studying the picture closer.
"Belle that is beautiful. I want that tattooed on me somewhere." She jokes, peeking her head around the corner into the kitchen. The brunette laughs and shakes her head, grabbing Ruby a red Gatorade, and a blue one for herself.
"Well, I would be honored to have my work on your body somewhere." She says, walking up to Ruby and handing her the drink. Ruby's breathing stops momentarily, her mind wandering to Belle's hands roaming over her skin. She clears her throat and takes the Gatorade, taking a large gulp.
"Well…I will definitely have to keep that in mind, huh?" She retaliates, trying to keep her cool. Belle blushes a light pink and smiles, taking her lip between her teeth.
"I guess so." She says softly, taking a small sip of her drink. The two locked eyes, if they were going to say anything, the words died in their throats at blue and green eyes looked into the other, searching for something, anything really. They jumped when Ruby's phone began to ring in her front pocket. Belle giggles at the choice of music, Evanescence was surprisingly her favorite. Ruby looks at her phone and grins.
"Hang on, I gotta take this." She says, turning around and answering the call.
"Emma Swan, It's about time your blonde ass called." She laughs, resting her hands on her hips.
"Ha, ha, very funny, Lucas. Listen chick, I met this smoking hot brunette at this club the other night. God, she was just regal and perfect and Jesus Christ Rubes I'm in love." The redhead laughs and shakes her hand.
"Oh yeah? Like you were in love with Ashley?" She teases. The blonde huffs on the other end.
"No dude, this is something out of a frikking fairytale, I'm telling you." She argues. Ruby shakes her head and looks back at Belle, rolling her eyes. The brunette giggles softly and tilts her head cutely, making Ruby want to groan in frustration.
"Ruby Lucas! You have a girl with you!" Ruby flinches at Emma's shrill tone, and she drops her phone, accidently hitting the speaker button.
"Ruby! Spill the dets now! Is she cute? Come on man, I know you have a girl with you! I heard her giggle! Are you-"Ruby is blushing a bright red by this point, fumbling to turn the speaker off. Belle is wearing a light pink blush on her cheeks, looking down shyly.
"No! Emma, Jesus, she's a friend and she moved into my complex the other day." She hisses, her face still a bright red. The blonde on the other end laughs.
"Oh man, easier for you to charm, right Rubes?" She teases. The redhead looks over and the still blushing brunette and grins.
"I'm trying." She says softly. Emma is quiet for a moment and she chuckles, "Alright lovebird, I'll leave ya be for now, but I expect a full report tonight when I swing by." Ruby chuckles and shakes her head.
"You got it boss, see ya later."
"Bye Ruby." The redhead ends the call and shoves her phone in her pocket. She turns, looking at the petite woman in front of her.
"Uh…sorry, Emma is a little bit of a womanizer and she gets excited when I'm with a girl." She says, biting her lip. Belle giggles and shakes her head.
"No harm done, I would love to meet her someday." She says, looking back up and meeting Ruby's gaze. The redhead gulps quietly and breathes through her nose.
"She would have too much fun if she met you." Ruby teases, walking up and ruffling Belle's hair affectionately. The smaller woman giggles and swats at Ruby's offending hand.
"She said she met a regal brunette last night and she thinks she's in love." She says, rolling her eyes. Belle's head tilts to the side curiously, her lips pursing in thought.
"Huh…sounds like my cousin Regina." She mumbles, mostly to herself. Ruby chuckles and shrugs.
"Who knows? Emma's quite the ladies woman…but I better go and tidy up, since she's coming over tonight apparently…and I'll see you tomorrow?" She asks, giving the brunette a large grin. The brunette giggles and nods her head.
"Absolutely…I can't wait." She admits softly, looking down for a moment before looking back up at Ruby. The redhead, resists the urge to reach out and stroke her cheek.
"Me neither." She says, she waves at Belle and heads towards the door.
"Bye Belle, thanks for the Gatorade." She says, lifting the bottle as she opens the door.
"Bye Ruby! Come over anytime!" She says, smiling at the brunette. Ruby wants to swoon, those bright blue eyes looking directly into hers. She offered a small smile before walking out the door, closing it behind her.
"You have it bad Rubes." She whispers, leaning against Belle's door for a moment before head back to her apartment. She bites her lip, thinking of all the way she can swoon the brunette tomorrow.
