Finding Red

Ruby Red

It's a Sunday and I'm on afternoon shift so it's okay if I don't cook really early.

Just as I saw Ashton smirking at me on my doorstep.

Well, he looks sexy as fuck and I kind of having a little crush on him though.

He went over the side of my bed and sit nearly to me.

His hands were on my left leg not even breaking the eye contact.

I know that for some reason he's kind of trying to seduce me? Is he?

Well. Two can play the game.

I immediately grabbed him and judging by the look in his face, Ashton's awed

I love it.

His face immediately brushed the corners of my face, swooning me while heading to my next. Planting soft and sweet kisses were he goes. He went on top of me and the next thing I knew.

He's kissing me to death. He's gentle and heart smashing kisses lures me into to want more and more so I removed his shirt and got to see his toned body and quickly changes position so that I'm on the top now.

So I take control.

Whilst kissing him I placed a blindfold on him. Then I made my way down his glorious body. He's has a small tattoo or birthmark maybe on his left rib. It's in some kind of ancient symbol but it's orange. I didn't know he liked that color. But its impossible that it can be a tat cause I can't see any proof that it's done that way. I've seen a lot of tats before but this one is different.

I touched it trying to test its texture when my hand turn overly hot and I almost burned his wonderful body.

He got up removed his blindfold and still smirking at me.

"I'm sorry, i-i-i- I didn't mean it, uh it was accident. I accidentally brushed my tea candle burner to you. I'm sorry it was my fault"

"Hush, love. We all know that your tea burner is located in the living room" Ashton says

Oh no! he figured it out!

"Anyways, thank you for your hospitality" he planted a kiss on my forehead and is about to leave "see you laters, love"

Should I get 9-1-1 now? Cause I looked that I'm about to erupt and destroy this whole building with fire.

Oh well, just as I thought of it. The fire alarm went on and I was wondering who's in trouble now. We are all escorted to the ground while we wait for the ambulance to kick in.

Ashton is uhm nowhere to be found with this crowd of people. God, why was I even looking for him?

An ambulance came and went over to the landlady to clarify things. In the middle of their conversation, a man with an almost red hair just like me, Smirks at me. I guess he's with the ambulance and probably testing me or blaming me that I'm the one responsible for it.

The fire officer went on my direction and as I glance over my back trying to find the leader of this mess. The fire officer went over me and asks

"Ms. Ruby, occupant of unit 1 floor 7, are you hurt? What's the source of fire? Is there anyone with you?

I didn't know what to say first, I'm not hurt and on how on earth should I be hurt when I look perfectly fine. I really don't know the source and the hell as far as I'm concerned; Ashton left my pad before that fire thing breaks out. Or maybe he was in the bathroom? Or yes maybe he just left.

"I'm fine. I don't know what you're talking about and as far as I'm concerned, I'm the only one living in that unit."

"But is there anyone with you before the fire broke?"

Needless to say, I really do not want to mention Ashton cause it may be a little awkward saying it in front of this intimidating landlady.

"I, uh. Ashton was with me earlier today"

"And why on earth will he be with you?" landlady asks

I still don't know her name though it might be rude. Still I really don't know what to reason out with her and I might get kicked out in this apartment if she finds out.

She looks at me like I'm some sort of disease his son is not allowed to get into.

"I was helping her out at the kitchen but I forgot to turn the fire off, so I'm really sorry officer. Thank you so much for your help but it was seriously nothing." Ashton came out of nowhere and seemed to be running noticing his composed face but sweaty shirt. I shot him with a questioning look and he winks at me secretly encouraging me to just get with the flow.

"Okay, if there's nothing more to do in here. We'll be leaving. Have a nice day" officer said

"Thank you so much and we're sorry for this false alarm thing" I'm blabbing useless words

The guy with the red hair just like me immediately disappeared on the last position that I saw him.

I still don't understand Ashton.

"Now there, love. Should I escort you on your room?" Ashton says

"Yeah. Sure"

He's some kind of a dream guy of mine. He flashes his fantastic smile, that smile again that would soon enough capture my heart. But every time that I would confront him and be close with him not just to the point of being acquaintances. I kind of feel having something more.

We take the stairs instead of the elevator and I see this as a gesture of being with me more? Or maybe he wants to be alone with me somewhere so that we could finish here what we started earlier.

"Uhm, the elevator's full. I figure we should use the stairs and that this is safer but if you prefer the elevator then we'll just wait on floor 2"

I don't know about him, but I take it as he is just concerned with me and that is so romantic.

"Thanks. But I'm okay with this" gosh I'm really not much of a talker am I. am I boring him cause he seemed quiet on our way up. It's almost our floor but he isn't talking yet.

"What was that for? I asked

"What?" Ashton says

"What do you mean what? Well, earlier today you turned into some mysterious lying doucheass." I'm getting mad here. I hated jerks and he's turning into one.

"Hush, love. You owe that to me and someday I'll be asking for something in return. Will you promise me that? Ashton answered

I shot him a questioning look then. What was it this time? Will he need my help soon?

Now this is getting weird. What is he seriously talking about?

"Whatever"

"See you around, love"

While he disappears on the corridor and still found him smirking at me, I said.

"My name's not love! It's Ruby! Ruby Red!"

"I know" I heard Ashton's voice from afar

Just as I closed the door and put myself at rest, what the hell was he seriously talking about? He knows me? Seriously? Stalker much?

Dumb, he's got your name on her mother's tenant's lists.

Iheard it somewhere. "Who is there?!" and slapped my face realizing that I'm theonly one around here and that m1*^8
