Pete doesn't come back that night or the night after and then Ruby is finally able to get some sleep when Bill returns from him trip. He can tell just by looking at her that she hasn't been sleeping and feels guilty for going where he did and lying about it. Bill knows if he wants to keep Ruby by his side he can't tell her what is going on, especially his affiliations with a certain homeland security agent. So he over compensates by doting on his Irish beauty by buying her expensive gifts and trying to make her life easy so she won't want to leave. He finds her at the dance studio during the day teaching her class on contemporary dancing, he has never actually gone before but wanted to surprise her.
Bill watches her move through the song as if it was meant to move her body and no one else's and wonders if she knows how good she is. As the song ends and Ruby stops in the center of the room her students around her, Bill claps and walks through them right up to her. He pulls her possessively into his arms and kisses her hello, a little too overzealous as it causes her students to cheer and Ruby to blush. After quickly dismissing her students and telling them to go get changed, the two of them are alone in the dance studio. Ruby can't believe after all these months of dating that this is the first time Bill has come to the studio and wonders what made him change his mind now.
"You are incredible." He compliments tucking her auburn hair behind her ear and out of her face.
"I'm alright, enough to be able to help my students. I am happy to see you." Ruby says fixing his tie.
"I can see that, you didn't sleep at all?" He guesses.
"That is a given, I meant because I missed you." She corrects him.
"Well I am not going in to the office today and I already said you were out for the rest of the day, so let's go home and spend the rest of the day and night in bed." He offers.
"Mm.. I'm in, and if your lucky maybe you will be too. Meet you at home? I just have to finish up here." Ruby informs him watching the grin form on his face as she walks off into the back.
Ruby manages to beat Bill home and decides to jump in the shower to get some of the dance sweat off of herself. She turns on her playlist and Carrie Underwood's Dirty Laundry comes on and she sings along as she showers. Bill hears her singing and for a minute gets worried that she knows something is going on until he realises she is just listening to a playlist. He slips out of his clothes and carefully goes into the bathroom that is all steamy from her shower and joins her. Bill runs his hands down her back and glides one arm around her waist turning Ruby around to face him. It takes no time at all to lift her up and kissing her under the steady stream of warm water and thrust himself inside of her.
Ruby is laying on the his bed with the dark cotton sheets in her silk robe when Bill comes out of the bathroom. He has a towel wrapped around his waist bending to get something out of his suit jacket pocket before laying down next to his fiance. He watches her fight sleep before placing the long box on her pillow next to her extremely heavy eyes. Rubbing them with her first Ruby props herself up enough to regard the box trying to come out of the haze clouding her mind. Then she picks it up carefully and opens it to see what exactly is inside of this seemingly random present. Inside is a matching set of jewelry, not just the earrings and necklace but the bracelet too in her ruby birthstone not to mention in rose gold. They are simple, classic not too overdone which is just how Ruby likes her jewelry much more versatile that way too.
'They are beautiful but what is the occasion?" Ruby asks stifling a yawn.
"Your patience and understanding of me going away on account of the business so much lately." Bill informs her taking out the necklace and bracelet and helping her put them on, then Ruby herself puts in the earrings.
"That is just the give and take of a relationship, you know you have me right? You don't have to convince me, or charm me and you definitely don't have to buy me." Ruby explains laying her head back down on her pillow.
"Ruby Rose you're too good for me, so I need to lull you into believing otherwise."
"Your logic is most certainly flawed but I'm too tired to argue semantics." Ruby sighs closing her eyes.
"Sleep." He tells her.
