Ruby

I turn in bed through my sheets. I look at the celling of my room. What ever happened last night wasn't supposed to happen. Fuck. I am so pathetic. I bury my eyes into the palm of my hands, with a sight. I am a terrible person. Elite doesn't deserve what happened last night. Elite doesn't deserve to be hurt that way. She can't know. But, that just makes it worse than it already is. Fuck fuck.

"God, I missed you." He breathes heavily against my neck. His breath tickles my neck, making me hungry for more. Our lips connect once more. The hunger that fills our kisses scares me but not right now. Right now, I want it.

I try my best to shake the memory away from my mind. I get out of bed.  I pull on my dark red silk robe. I walk into the bathroom. My hair is terrible messy. I pull it into a high bun. My neck looks like I have been attacked by a wild creature. I sight as I place water into my hands, splashing my face with some.

"I love you." He whispers as he carries me to the bed, while we make out. His kisses travel to my neck. I pull his sweater off. "I love you." I whisper, holding his shoulders. We both breath heavily, through our heated kisses.

I sight as I walk back into the room. I grab clean clothes and place them on the bed as I change into my bathrobes. I stand under the shower, letting the water hit my face. I let my hair loose, getting water to wash through it, hoping it might wash off the memory. I apply shampoo into my hair, scratching my scalp to make the shampoo bubble up, under the water.

He pulls up my sweater, breaking our kisses just for a moment. His skin feels just the same against my hands, as I hold him close to me, as he kisses me. Our bodies brush against each other, bringing back all the memories. "You're so beautiful." He whispers, squeezing my bare hips tightly.

I wash the bubbles off my hair, closing my eyes, seeing nothing but more memories of last night. I sight as I wrap the bathrobe around my wet body. I look at my reflection. My wet hair is loose. Five years since he last touched me. Fives years since he told me that he loves me. And five years wasn't enough to get over him. I walk back into the room. I pull the pair of jeans that lay on the bed. I slide my arms into the sleeves of a grey hoodie. I dry my hair with the hair dryer in the bathroom, and cover the love bites on my neck with make up.

"It's been a while." He says as we lay next to each other, covered up with the sheets. "This is all wrong. You know that." I say. He stays silent . I look at him. "I know. But, is it wrong that I am willing to do it again?" He asks as he looks back at me.

I walk out of the room. "There she is, the sleepy head." Ash's voice meets me as I walk up to the table, they're all seated on. He catches my eyes. I look away as I sit on the empty seat next to Elizabeth. "I hope you got some good rest." Ash says with a smile. "Why is that?" I ask. "Well, because today you got a lot of work to do with the bride." He says with a smile, looking at Elizabeth. "I am going to take you to meet Dianna, my made of honor. We're gonna get your size and Penny's for the bridesmaids's dresses." Elizabeth says with a bright smile. "I am well excited." I say with a smile. She claps in happiness. I look right in front of me. Guilt washes over me. She looks up at me and smiles. I can't believe I actually enjoyed what I did to her last night. How I had sex with her boyfriend while she was sleeping thinking he's only getting a drink or something. I force a smile back. I look at her side and meet his eyes.

"I love you. Please, remember that." He whispers as he kisses my forehead and leaves the room, to go back to her.

"Let's go then." I say with excitement, to avoid having to look at him or at her. "Alright." Beth says with the same excitement. "Elite, will you take care of Henry? I would have asked Al but he's just as much of a baby." Penny says. "Hey!"Albert says. Elite and Penny laugh. "Of course, I would love to." Elite says. "Thank you, I owe you one." Penny says. "Wait a second, I would love Elite to come along." Elizabeth says. Please, no. "Oh, I don't have to, really. I am not a bridesmaid after all." Elite says. "Absolutely not. You flew here to be in my wedding." Elizabeth says. "This is very nice." Elite says smiling. "I can't believe I am trusting my own husband with our kid." Penny says, as everyone laugh. Tobias is looking at me. We're the only two not laughing, because of a secret, we and only we know.

"You look beautiful." Penny is standing in front of us in a pretty honey beige dress. It traces her hips and chest. Her shoulders are bare along with her collarbones. The dress is long and laced from the chest to the toe. "I really love this dress, Beth." Penny says with a smile as she looks at herself in the mirror. "Does it fit perfectly?" A dark skinned woman in a red silk dress and a low black bun asks. She's the owner of the shop. "Definitely." Penny says.

"Sorry, if I am late, Emily is parking the car outside." A girl with dark brown hair and a tanned skin says. "Dianna!" Elizabeth stands and throws her arms around her friend. Dianna is not a very tall person. Her eyes are brown. Elizabeth's mother is English who is married to a Korean man. She's been born in the states, where her parents met. She has no siblings at all.  "Everybody this is Dianna, my best friend." Beth says with a smile. "Hello, everyone." Dianna says with a small wave. "Dianna, this is Ruby, Penny and Elite." Elizabeth introduces us. "Nice to meet you all." Dianna adds with a smile. "Hey bride lady." A girl with a tanned skin and curly golden hair says. "Emily." Elizabeth says as she embraces Emily. She's taller than Dianna. She looks a lot like Dianna. "Emily is my sister everyone." Dianna says. "Don't say it like it's a bad thing." Emily says. We all laugh.
