"Thudd"
"The f*ck? "Are you OK, Aimee?" I quickly asked while exiting the shower.
I was concerned that she might have hurt herself because it was such a loud sound.
"Ouch, I'm fine. I just slid off the chair. "she said "1wwwwwaaaAnyway, I'm heading to Ruby's room. I'll meet you there." She spoke in a rush. " Why would I meet you there," I questioned her. It's even stranger for a guy to go to a girl's apartment and it's even stranger when your girlfriend is the one asking you to go.
"I already know her. She's my classmate, so it's fine. Alright, I am going now. "Bye," she said before closing the door. So she is her classmate. Well, I already met her. I'll go anyway. It's not like I am going there to check her out. I am going there because my girlfriend is there.
Aimee's POV
As I left Stevens' apartment, I ran straight to the next apartment and knocked
"Knock-knock"
As soon as I knocked, I heard hurried footsteps coming towards the door, and soon it opened. "Hay Ruby," I said as soon as the door opened.
"Aimee, how did you know I moved? I was going to surprise you later?" She asked me with a smile as we walked in.
"Well, you met Steven, and he told me that there was a new neighbor next door named Ruby, so I came as soon as I heard this," "I said.
"Oh, that guy," Ruby said. "He helped me lift some boxers. There are way too many stairs here. " Ruby said and continued, "So where is the boy who stole your heart, hmm?" "I won't approve of him until I see him with my own eyes," she said. "Sigh." I sighed when I heard this.
"You already met my boyfriend." I said, "Wait, what do you mean? I already met your boyfrie-. " She stopped mid-sentence when she realized who my boyfriend was.
"Wait, are you serious? What do you see in him? "Come on, Aimee, there are so many boys out there that are much better than him," she said in a sarcastic tone.
"He is a good guy and I like him alright," I said. Aimee, come on, listen to your best friend's advice. He is just some guy. I can hook you up with some rich kid and you can live a life of comfort. " She said she doesn't want me and Steven to be together. "Sigh... I don't want to live a life of comfort. Ruby. I want to join the army and explore the universe and help the people that need help. " I said. It was the first time I had told anyone other than my dad about this. As soon as Ruby heard this, she froze for a second and then said, "Aimme, I am not supposed to be telling you this, but the army doesn't work like that." You do more than just help the people. You will be made to go on life-threatening missions and be trained to kill if the need arises. "
"I know that too, but I don't want a life where I just get what I want. I want to earn it, " said when I heard her explanation." I know that she is telling the truth; her family has a lot of influence in the army, after all. But still, I want to join the army.
"Sigh—there is no changing your mind, is there?" "Ruby I said with a defeated look plastered all across my face. "Nope, there is no changing it now," I said with a smile. "Sigh," she sighed again and said, "I hope you don't regret your decision, but I still do approve of your relationship." What if he is just dating you for your body? "All men are discussing," she said, with an obvious disdain on her face.
"He isn't like that." I rebuked him as soon as I heard this. "He won't do anything to me." I know it. "I know he is adorable and harmless. "He won't even hurt a fly," I said with a proud face. I know Steven is not that kind of person.
He is a kind person deep down and has a gentle nature with everyone he cares about.
"Ya, we'll see if he is as harmless as you said," Ruby said
As we were talking, we heard someone knocking on the door.
Knock, knock.
"It must be Steven," I said as I hurried towards the door and opened it. "Hay," Steven said as soon as I opened the door, "I want you to meet my best friend Ruby, and Ruby, I want you to meet my boyfriend Steven," I said as soon as we moved in.
"Hello again," Ruby said as she went for a handshake. "Hello, it's nice to meet you again," Steven said as he shook her hand.
We sat down in the living room and talked there for a while. It was mostly me and Ruby talking, with Steven participating in the conversation from time to time.
Ruby's POV
As we were talking, Steven just sat there as a ghost, participating in our conversation from time to time. I won't approve of him. There was no way I would let him be with my only true friend. I won't let my sweet Aimee be fooled so easily.
"Hey Ruby, can I use your bathroom?" Aimee suddenly asked me as I was lost in my thoughts, but I quickly gathered my thoughts and answered, "Ya, it's the third door to the left." Aimee stood up and left, and as soon as she heard my answer, there were only the two of us left in the room now.
I said in a threatening tone.
"I won't approve of you. You may be able to fool Aimee, but you cannot fool me. " Steven smiled when he heard my threat and said with a smile, " doesn't matter if you approve of me or not." Does he think my threat is a joke? If you try to hurt her in any way, I will make sure that my family will hunt you down and give you a painful death. "I said, in a more threatening tone this time. "But even so, his smile stayed the same."
"If I do so, then it's OK. You can tell your family to hunt me down. But remember, if your family includes her in some of your politics, then I will be the one hunting you down. " As soon as he said this, his eyes started glowing red. My whole body went stiff as soon as he did so. "Am I afraid of him? I asked myself when I saw this. At this point, his smile vanished as I saw some black aura oozing out of his body into the air. " cares about you. I can see this. That is why I am giving you a warning now because there are no second chances, "he said. A shiver went down my spine when I heard his chilly He's terrifying, harmless my ass. Aimee, who did you fall for?
I asked this in my mind, but soon the aura disappeared and his eyes stopped glowing. "Anyway, let's not tell Aimee that we threatened each other in her absence," he said with a smile.
"Hay, I am back. Did I miss anything? " Aimee came back after some time. "Nope, I was telling Ruby about how we investigate and track criminals." Steven said, "I see," Aimee said, with a smile on her face. "Anyway, I will get going now. I have work to do, "Steven said as he stood up. "Ya, I'll meet you in the afternoon," Aimee said when she heard about Steven's departure.
"Alright then, goodbye Ruby, see you around," Steven said to me with a smile."Goodbye." I replied to him, "Goodbye." My face was twisting from all the anger I was feeling. This bastard
He stepped left into the apartment and closed the door behind him.
As he left, Aimee asked me, "So what do you think?" She was excited about my choice of him. She liked him.
"I don't think he is a good match for you. I don't know him that well, and from what I can see, he is a mister. "Aimee, I don't think dating him is a good idea."
Aimee's face fell after she heard this. She must have expected that this meeting would change anything. But as far as I can see, my opinion of him is just falling.
"Sigh! "Just give him a chance," she said when she heard my answer. "Anyway, you should come over for dinner. Mom would be happy to see you," she said. Now that I think about it, I haven't met her mom for a long time. "Alright! I'll see you there, "I said when I heard this. It would be good to spend some time with her family. And maybe I can convince her parents that Steven is a bad match for Aimee.
