Chapter Four: Back to the Present!

Waking up with the sun shining in her face was definitely not the way that Ruby was normally used to. Ruby rolls over and softly moans as she puts her arm across her face, "Why is this sun so bright?" she mutters to herself. Sticking the other arm out she tries to feel around for Sam but doesn't come across anything. Pulling herself up she opens her eyes and looks around the room to see where Sam is. Not finding him in the room she puts her feet on the floor and makes her way lazily to the bathroom door. As she makes her way to the sink she sees a pile of Sam's clothes on the floor next to the bathroom door. 'He is so messy' she thinks with a smile. Rubbing her hands across her face she quickens her walk to the sink and immediately splashes cold water on her face and looks around for a toothbrush. Seeing one unopened in the medicine cabinet she opens it and goes ahead and brushes her teeth. After finishing that she walks her already naked body to the shower and gets in. Looking around she spots a womanly rose smelling body wash and uses it. Climbing out of the shower Ruby wraps the towel around her body and makes her way back to the room. Standing in front of the open closet Ruby shakes her head in amazement. 'What in the world am I going to wear?' she thinks to herself. There were so many different colors, designs, and textures to choose from that it took Ruby a good 5 minutes to pick an outfit. Deciding to settle for a pretty pink sundress she quickly changes in to it and smiles to herself while thinking, 'I wonder what Sam is going to think of this outfit?' making her way down the winding staircase Ruby goes directly into the kitchen in search of some breakfast. On her way down there wasn't a sound in the house at all. Wondering where in the world Sam she starts to look in all the cupboards and fridge to find something to cook. Spotting some eggs in the fridge and salt and pepper in one of the cupboards she decides to make an omelet. 'I've seen people make these on t.v. how hard can it be?' 5 minutes later Ruby was really regretting her 'genius' idea to make an omelet for breakfast. There was egg all over the counters and the egg that managed to find its way to the pan was burned to the crisp. And to top all of that off the fire alarm came on and it was blaring an annoying noise. Sam hears the fire alarm from the office upstairs that he was looking over and immediately dashed down the stairs to find Ruby. Not finding her sleeping on their bed he goes downstairs and can immediately see the smoke from the kitchen rise. Running even faster to the kitchen he finds Ruby running around the kitchen trying to the smoke to stop. But ends up burning herself and drops the pan to the ground with a sream, "Ow!" Sam finally found the fire(stopper) and directed it on the pan and grabs a plate to fan the smoke away, realizing that there was no danger just Ruby's cooking skills. Sam jokeingly asks, "What happened?"

Glaring at him Ruby puts her hand close to her body and says, "What does it look like I was doing? I was making myself breakfast!"

Not being able to stop himself, Sam bursts in to laughter, "You call THAT breakfast? It' s not even recognizable anymore!"

Huffing Ruby tries to explain herself, "Well I tried! Who knew that making a stupid omelet would be that difficult!"

Seeing that she was really upset Sam walks closer to her and says, "It's okay. I think that you just forgot to put butter in the pan. It helps stuff not to stick on the pan."

She slams her injured hand to her head and exclaims, "Ow! Ugh, THAT'S what I forgot!"

Realizing that her hand was really hurt Sam takes it and quickly examines it, "Yea, this needs to be bandaged up."

Sighing Ruby nods her head and looks around at the messy kitchen, "Great, first I burn friggin eggs and then I have to clean up this mess."

Sam's lips turn up into a smile as he looks around, "You know you could have found me and I would have made some eggs for you."

Ruby sighs, "I know, but I really want to get this human thing down."

"Uh, have you meet Dean? He can't cook for his life and he's human."

Shaking her head Ruby rebuts, "That's not the same. He's a guy. Guys don't really need to know how to cook. But girls do."

Before Sam could start to object they both hear someone knocking on the door. They both tense up, if it was Dean he would have called ahead. Not knowing who was at the door Sam tells Ruby, "Do not move from this spot. I'll be right back."

And of course being Ruby she doesn't do as she's told and walks right behind him. Turning back around after a few steps Sam gets agitated, "Didn't I tell you to wait here?"

"Look you can make this easier on yourself or harder. Which one are you going to pick?"

Sighing Sam just says, "Stay behind me."

"That I can do."

"Yea, surprisingly." Sam mutters under his breath.

"What was that honey?" Ruby asks in her fake sweet voice.

"Nothing." Sam replies back quickly.

"Yea, I though so."

Making their way over to the door they open it to find a small Hispanic woman behind it carrying a bag.

"Uhh…hi. Can we help you?" Sam asks.

"Hola Sr. Padalecki! Buenos dios!"

As she makes her way through the door Sam subtly stops her.

Looking up in confusion she asks him, "Do you not need me today sir?"

"Uhh…can you just remind me exactly what you do again?"

Looking at him strangely now she says, "I am your maid. So I will clean up the living room, kitchen, and the house. Again, do you not need me today?"

Finally stepping out from behind 'Jared' Ruby starts to talk to the maid, "No, we definitely need you today. The kitchen is a mess, follow me."

And with that the maid came in through the door and followed Ruby to the kitchen. Leaving Sam still at the opened door. He just sighs and closes the door, "Why am I still surprised that she didn't listen to me?"

Shaking his head one more time he starts to make his way to the kitchen. As he gets there he hears the end of the conversation between Ruby and the maid.

"…and then this awful smell started to come off from it!" Ruby ended her story.

Trying to keep his laughter in Sam says, "Ruby, I think we should just let her do her job and go check out her hand."

Nodding her head she goes to follow him out of the kitchen, turning around she quickly says, "After your done with the kitchen feel free to go home Maria."

"Sí senora." Maria replies back.

Grabbing her unburned hand Sam asks, "How did you get her to tell you her name?"

"I just asked her," Ruby replies nonchalantly.

"Of course,"

"Well, why did you say it like that?"

"I didn't think that's all it would take." Sam says with a shrug.

Laughing Ruby walks into the study behind him and says, "It's not rocket science."

Getting the first aid kit from one of the desk drawers Sam turns back to Ruby who was seated up on the edge of the desk, "Let's get your hand fixed up."

"Yes sir Dr. Winchester." Ruby says lightheartedly.

Kneeling down in front of her Sam just laughs, "What should we do today? Since you obviously don't want to go back?"

Sighing Ruby runs her hand through her hair, "You honestly want to know?"

Without even looking up from what he was doing Sam nods his head, "Absolutely."

"I think we should go sightseeing" Ruby says all in one breath really quickly.

Picking up his head and looking at her in shock Sam asks, "Really?"

Shrugging her shoulders sheepishly, "I mean it couldn't hurt right? We would be just looking around the area."

Sam just stands still and looks at her in amazement. Starting to feel agitated at being watched she snaps, "Or we could just sit here all day"

Shaking his head, "No I think it would great to go look around."

Letting go a breath she didn't realize she was holding Ruby nods her head, "Okay"

Sensing her tension Sam lightens up the mood. He runs his hands up her legs and says, "You picked this dress for a reason didn't you?"

Catching on to his playful mood Ruby tosses her head back and cocks it to one side, "Maybe I did,"

In a sudden move Sam has her in his arms, a gasp of shock escapes her lips with a bubble of laughter following right behind it. Wrapping her arms around his neck she leans close to his ear and whispers, "Guess what article of clothing I DON'T have on?"

Sam moves Ruby around so that both of her legs are wrapped around him and moves his hands down to her butt and squeezes, "I think I just found out."

As she's laughing he quickly catches her lips in a kiss and claims them.
