Chapter 10: I Wasn't Meant To Forgive You

Ruby

What the hell? What is Orlando doing here? What part that he doesn't understand that I haven't forgiven him yet? Talk about bad timing cause I was enjoying kissing Marcus and had to come and ruin it, and now I'm pissed off. Orlando was looking at me and Marcus furiously which I don't know why though? He yanked the door open and pulled me out of car.

"What the hell is your problem, Orlando? I haven't forgiven you yet" I yelled but he just ignored my question.

"What are you doing being with him?" he said seriously.

"It's non of your business" I said simply. Orlando's jaw clenched and was grinding his teeth together.

"What you do is my business. So answer my question. What are you doing being with him?" He said angry.

"I'm not going to tell cause as I said it's non of your business" I stated plainly and starting walking around him. Marcus climbed out of his car looking concerned.

"Are you ok cupcake?" Marcus asked concerned.

"I'm fine, Marcus but thanks for asking" I said sincerely and giving him reassuring smile.

"If you say so" he said unconvinced. We heard Orlando grumbled.

"Don't call her that" Orlando gritted out and went up to Marcus. Marcus automatically pulled me behind him.

"Listen douchebag, I think you should go. You're upset Ruby" Marcus stated seriously.

"Don't tell me what to do, asshole. Especially when it comes to Ruby" Orlando snapped loudly. He was heathing and his hands was clenched into a fist. He was furious. Orlando really don't like people telling him what to do.

"Just go and leave Ruby alone" Marcus said firmly. Orlando was shaking violently, he was in rage now. I need to intervene before things escalate further.

"Just go Orlando. I'll talk to you later" I said tiredly.

"Why do I have to go and not him?" He asked annoyed.

"He will go but I want you to leave now" I said firmly.

"Fine but if I'm leaving then he's leaving now also" Orlando gritted.

"Douchebag, we're not five. Stop acting like a child and listen to the lady and go" Marcus said seriously and sounding pissed off.

"Can you shut the f**k up? I'm talking to Ruby, not you" Orlando snapped.

"And she told you to leave now but you ain't listening" Marcus snapped back. I'm getting tired of this s**t.

"How about both of you go" I said annoyed. Orlando looked unhappy and Marcus looked at me guilty.

"I'm sorry cupcake. I didn't mean to make you upset" Marco said apologetic.

"There's no need to apologise. I enjoyed our date" I said sincerely. He gave me a loop sided smile. Damn he looks sexy right now.

"I'm glad to hear. I enjoyed it too" he said sincerely. He came up to me and kissed my cheek. I heard grumbling from Orlando. He looked murderous. Marcus just rolled his eyes at him.

"Grow up will ya? you're acting like a child" Marcus stated plainly. He turned round to face me with a warm smile on his face.

"See later, cupcake and call me later" he said sincerely. He got in to the car and drove off.

"It's about time he left" Orlando grumbled.

"Ain't you going now?" I asked annoyed.

"You're being serious?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yes"

"I thought you it was a show for that dickhead" Orlando stated simply. I just gave him a blank look.

"That dickhead has a name and it's Marcus and it wasn't a show. I meant what I said that I want you to leave, now" I stated plainly.

"I know his name. I just choose not to use it and I'm not going home until you've forgiven me" he said shrugging. Is he for real? I'm still mad at him.

"Go home Orlando" I said firmly and started walking to the house.

"Wait" Orlando rushed out. He grabbed my arm and made me turn to face him.

"Let me just apologise again" he said sincerely.

"You've already apologise many times, Orlando. I know you're sorry" I stated simply.

"Please forgive me, Ruby" he pleaded desperately.

"Orlando go home. It's late, I'm tired and I just want to go to sleep" I said feeling exhausted and walked back to the house. However, I only made it to the door when I felt Orlando's arms wrapped around my waist.

"What the hell Orlando? Get off me" I gasped shocked. I turned around to find him on his knees, his head resting on my stomach.

"Please forgive me, Ruby. I can't cope with you not talking to me. This feels unnatural for not talking to each other. We always made up no matter how much we argue" he sobbed.

"Orlando, just go home. This is not like you" I stated as I tried to peal him off of me but he wouldn't budge.

"I won't go until you forgive me, even if I stay here all night" he said stubbornly, crying openly. I never seen him like this. He rearly cries. He must be truly sorry for what he did. Maybe I should forgive him. He's right about not talking to him for so long. I signed feeling too tired for this.

"I forgive you Orlando" I said softly.

"Really? You're not just saying that to make me leave?" He asked sniffing. He looked up at me with hopefulness in his eyes. His eyes was red and puffy. His face was wet from his tears. He looked like a mess.

"No, I do forgive you" I said sincerely. He signed with relief.

"Thank you Ruby. I'll make it up to you" he said softly.

"I know. Can you let go of me now?" I said simply. He let go of me and stood up, whipping his tears.

"Goodnight Orlando"

"Wait before you go, can I pick you up to and from school again?" He asked hesitantly.

"Sure, why not" I said simply. He beamed and hugged me.

"Cool. I'll pick you up tomorrow. Goodnight Ruby" Orlando said caringly.

"Ok, goodnight Orlando. I see you tomorrow" I replied and went inside the house, seeing Orlando walking away as I closed the front door.

"Hey miracle, how was the date?" Pops asked as he walked out of the kitchen and giving me a bear hug.

"It was good actually" I said truthfully.

"Good to hear but if he hurt you anyway I won't hesitate to beat him up" he said seriously and I know he wasn't joking cause he really would beat him up if Marcus really did hurt me.

"I know pops but if he did then I'll could handle him. You and Orlando taught me how to defend myself" I said sincerely.

"Good and speaking about Orlando. Have you two made up yet?" he asked gently.

"Yes. We made up just now. He waited to apologise to me" I said honestly.

"I'm glad to hear. It was weird that you two weren't speaking to each other. You guys always kiss and made up" pops said thoughtfully.

"I know, it didn't felt right not talking to him for so long. I'm glad we made up" I said sincerely.

"Me too cause that boy is very protective of you and you need someone like him to have your back" he said simply.

"Yes, I'm lucky to have him in my life" I said greatfully. Pops smiled at me.

"Well I'm headed for bed now, pops. Goodnight"

"Ok. Goodnight miracle, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite" he said lovingly and kissed my forehead. I hugged him and went up to my bedroom. Once I was in my bedroom, I freshen myself up, got changed into my night gown and went into my bed. Robin probably want to know all the details to how my date went with Marcus. I'll call her tomorrow to tell her all about it but right now I'm too tired to talk and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep. Lets hope that I have a good start at the beginning of next week.
