Ruby
I felt like my whole world falling apart. To say I was scared would be an understatement. I was shitless scared; as if someone ripped my heart out of my chest.
Who knew I would start liking the person I took an oath to hate the most?
Now the thought of him being in danger was eating me alive. I wanted to strangle the attackers, but I didn't even know where the warehouse was. Besides, the guards wouldn't even let me step out of the house.
As soon as I heard the news, I was quiet for a while before I ran towards the main door to get to the warehouse. But the guards, Keya, Nafeesa, and Newana��all of them stopped me.
Then I was sent to my room after a few minutes. I was getting so restless with every passing second. I didn't know what to do to kill time.
Keya got to know about the attack because she was talking with Cason over the phone before it started. She heard the sound and Cason informed her.
Cason was talking with his wife and on the other side, there was Vexon, who didn't even answer my call.
I felt so helpless right now. All I could do was pray and hope that everyone was okay.
After crying for a while, I wiped my face with a tissue and got out of the room. The girls were in the living room, so I decided to join them.
"If you are going to act like a maniac again, let me tell you, I am not in a mood so I will slap the hell outta you," Newana spat out. "God! I wish I could go. But one stupid text from your husband and I am��argh!"
"My husband?" I breathed out. "What do you mean?"
Newana rolled her eyes and handed me her phone. I looked at the text.
Vexon:
Don't leave the girls alone.
I gaped at the text. Even during the attack, he had time to text her but not me. I would confront him about this later.
Handing her the phone, I asked, "Any news?"
Keya was continuously on the phone, trying to contact Cason. She was still crying.
After more than two worrisome hours, the door of the Bevine mansion opened and Vexon, Cason, and Kace entered the house.
"No..." Keya whimpered, looking at them. She ran to hug Kace.
"Ka��Gosh! Are y'all okay?" Nafeesa inquired them.
Newana just walked towards Kace, whereas I stood still��watching Vexon as our eyes met.
I wanted to run and hug him, never wanting to let him get out of my sight. But I was angry at him.
What about his injuries?
I looked at his hand. There was a small amount of blood gathered on his arm. He was no longer in his coat, so I could see the blood due to his white shirt.
I felt as if my heart was getting squeezed when I saw his wound. There was a cut on his forehead, but he was fine. I was seeing him with my own eyes.
Thank you for keeping him safe, God.
"I am okay," Cason said to Keya. "Even Kace is. Just Vexon got hurt while trying to erm...save me." Cason glanced at me nervously.
Sparing once last glance at Vexon, I turned back and ran towards the bedroom, not waiting for another second.
___
The bedroom door clicked. I was in the dressing room, looking at the first aid box.
I could hear the fast footsteps in the room, which stopped behind me. Suddenly, Vexon hugged me from behind, burying his face on my neck.
"I'm sorry, Gem," he mumbled. I closed my eyes, trying not to melt at his words. I just stayed silent, not pushing him away. He didn't move either. "I'm so sorry for not trying to contact you even. Tell me how I can make it up to you. I will do it within a second," Vexon whispered and hugged me tightly.
Don't melt, Ruby!
I removed his hands and took the first aid box. I went towards the bed, knowing he would follow me, which he did.
I took his hand and made him sit on the bed. All this time, he was looking at me in confusion.
At first, I decided to apply ointment to his cut on the forehead. I took the ointment and started applying. When he hissed in pain, my heart leaped at this, but I kept a straight face.
"Are you going to continue giving me this silent treatment?" Vexon asked me, twitching his lips. "Please don't."
I didn't answer him and started unbuttoning his shirt.
"Gem. Please, talk to me. Damn it!" he groaned and I was still quiet. Abruptly, he got up, pushing my hands away. "Fine! If you are not talking with me, then I don't want to heal the wound. Let it remain the way it is."
My eyes grew wide at his words. Without wasting another second, Vexon hastily went to the balcony and closed the glass door, making me sigh.
If I didn't even agree to his words, either way, it was him getting hurt in the end.
As if you're being mature, Ruby, poked my subconscious. This guy just got home from an attack and look at you. Choosing anger before aid.
Taking a deep breath, I opened the door of the balcony. I stepped in and illuminated the fairy lights. Vexon was leaning towards the railing, gazing at the stars. I stood next to him.
"How about I aid your wound while you tell me how you got hurt?" I offered to which he didn't respond. "Vexon?"
He was still silent, giving me a taste of my own medicine which sucked.
I sighed. "Okay, how about this? I tell you what I did the whole day after you told me how you got hurt, while I aid your wound?" I suggested.
He narrowed his eyes at me, fighting back a smile.
"No? Then how about I tell you what I did the whole day, including what I wanted to tell you before you said that you had some important work after you tell me how you got hurt, while I aid your wound?"
This time, Vexon smiled hearing me and muttered, "You're crazy." He leaned towards me, cupping my face. "I want to kill the person who invented the silent treatment."
I smiled and told him, "Let's get inside now, shall we?"
Entwining our hands, we went towards the bed. He sat on the bed and I started unbuttoning his shirt, again.
"I wish this was not for aiding my wounds," Vexon mumbled, as I blushed at his words.
After I was done, I looked at his wound. It was not a deep cut, but it was bleeding so I took cotton and started wiping the blood.
"How did this happen?" I asked him.
"While trying to save Cason from a gunshot, I pushed him and the bullet went past my arm," Vexon explained it to me.
I gasped. "A bullet? Was Cason blind?"
"It was at the beginning of the attack. He was busy with his phone," he told me.
"What about the cut on the forehead?"
"It was when I pushed one of my men to save him from the box which was about to fall over his head. It was before the attack when we were loading the warehouse with the boxes," he informed me.
"Wh��" I stopped midway, having nothing to question.
While I was busy complaining about Vexon for not responding to my calls and texts, he was busy saving others.
How can I be angry at him?
"It's your turn now," Vexon reminded me.
"I was getting this weird feeling the whole day, and look at the agony, you're injured." I finished bandaging his wound and closed the first aid box. "My husband was busy the whole day, not giving me time. So I gossiped with Keya and completed the outfit for Gladiolus with Newana's help. And��"
All of a sudden, Vexon pulled me towards him and made me sit on his lap. I felt so awkward at that moment. He buried his head on my neck. "Continue," he mumbled and started kissing my neck, while I started feeling ticklish.
"I..." I tried to find the words. "I can't sleep alone at night and I feel so scared. When you weren't there, I felt so empty. There was nothing good to watch and I...I missed you," I whispered the last line.
Soon, I felt the wet kisses all over my neck and I bit my lips. All of a sudden, Vexon slightly bit my neck. I didn't even realize when a moan escaped my lips.
"I missed you too, Gem," Vexon muttered. I tried to push him away, but he started sucking the place he had bitten.
"Why didn't you contact me then?" I asked, preventing myself from moaning. The feeling I was getting from his close touch, was unexplainable. It was totally new to me. The ticklish feeling disappeared and soon, it turned into a pleasure.
"I didn't want to make you worried. Plus, I was busy." Again he started sucking the spot on my neck. "Don't stop yourself. I love the sound."
I didn't understand what he meant, because I was busy enjoying the moment. I couldn't help stopping my moans. It was so pleasurable!
"Damn! You've no idea how much I love you," Vexon breathed out, before starting to bite on another place of my neck, and I didn't stop him.
I liked him and I was enjoying this moment. I wished it didn't come to an end.
Is it more than 'like'? What is wrong with me?
