Part four
Whale came out of surgery to find belle comforting a tearful Ruby making his heart race with fear,
"Ruby?" Ruby looks up into his face and smiles her radiant smile over at him making him falter slightly,
"Hey Whale. How was surgery?"
"Fine. So what is all this then?" He asks his nerves not holding out much longer! As Ruby stands beside him and takes his hands into her own,
"Come with me please?" She begs smiling still yet sounding slightly desperate,
"Course I will. Ruby I'd follow you anywhere!" Whale says letting Ruby lead him out of the hospital. Ruby stops when she gets to the outskirts of town making whale frown as he was unsure why Ruby would bring him here?
"You must be wondering why here?"
"Yeah. Ruby I have to be honest I'm starting to worry about you. Are you feeling alright?" Ruby turns to look at him and reassuringly kisses him,
"I've never been better. And do you know why?"
"Go on"
"Because you have given me more than I thought possible!" Whale smiles his heart fluttering with joy in hearing this,
"Whale do you see a future with me?" Whale frowns at the question shocked that she needed to ask that question,
"Ruby you are the only future worth living!" Ruby beams happily as she hugs him excitedly making whale laugh lightly,
"Whale I think I need to explain why we are here..."
"Okay"
"I wanted somewhere private just you and me. I just needed somewhere to talk where we could be left alone to do so. You know what I mean?" Whale nods squeezing her hand,
"Ruby now we are alone talk to me" Ruby nods her head sitting herself down making whale do the same thing,
"I was at work earlier when granny said some stuff...she really got in my head...I came to the hospital to end it...but then I saw belle and she told me. What you were willing to do for me...it's made everything become so clear to me now"
"Clear?"
"Yeah. Whale you are my fresh start of happiness! And I want to live every moment of it. So I was thinking and don't freak out that we should get married?!"
Granny was getting worried as it was dark out and Ruby had been gone for hours! She sat anxiously in the quiet cafe contemplating on whether she should go out with her crossbow and look for Ruby, when as if on cue in walks her granddaughter who had a odd glow about her considering she just broke up with the love of her life!
"Hey granny?" She says as she enters the cafe making granny frown over at her,
"You didn't do it did you!"
"No need to sound so upset! Besides I love him too much to walk away...I am In fact his fiancée now!" Ruby says beaming happily her grandmas shocked expressions not ruining her good mood,
"You what?! How could you be so stupid?! Well if you go through with this then don't expect me to have any involvement!"
"Why would I expect that? You clearly can't over support granny!" Ruby says hurt as she leaves the cafe and makes her way back to the flat where whale was waiting for her,
"Let me guess she doesn't approve!" Whale says taking in Ruby's sad expression,
"More me whale. She wants nothing to do with this. Uh I'm just going to mope in bed" Ruby says whilst whale holds her tightly in his arms,
"Ruby she will come round!" He says kissing her forehead gently making Ruby give a small smile,
"No. It's clear how she feels. It's you and me whale"
"Our future ahead of us"
