After receiving Ruby’s call,
Nancy rushed over to Peggy Lee’s place, which was situated above their friend’s
beauty salon. Once there, she listened quietly as Ruby spilled every bean she
had in her bag while they each sat in a wicker chair at Peggy Lee’s glass-top
dining room table. She told them everything about her and Gavin. What they’d
done last night and what they planned to do this next year. She even told them
about the fun nicknames they’d given each other.
“I can’t believe how lucky you
are!” Peggy Lee exclaimed when she heard about Ruby’s night with Gavin. “The
man fell in love and proposed marriage to you after only one night
together. What in the world did you do to him?”
“Yeah, what did you do
to him?” Nancy asked, speaking for the first time since she arrived. Her mouth
had slammed shut and remained on lockdown from the moment she heard about
Gavin’s expanding manhood until now. It was kind of hard to speak over the
thick jealousy constricting her throat.
Nancy had never been with a
man worthy of a magnum-sized condom before. It wasn’t for lack of looking either.
She had made a diligent search for years, judging the worth of a man by two
things – the size of his wallet and the size of his penis. She had yet to find
a man around these parts as worthy as Gavin Sweetwater.
Nancy’s jealousy grew as Ruby
disclosed that Gavin knew exactly how to use what he had, hitting a woman’s
special spot every time. How he was so good in bed that she actually shed tears
of joy at the end. That had been a WOW moment. Nancy had never experienced sex
good enough to cry over before.
Her last bout of jealousy
occurred when she learned there would be a marriage between the two lovers.
That although the union was only going to be a cup of convenience for Ruby,
Gavin obviously wanted the whole pot of chili.
Why does everything good
always happen to her? Nancy ranted silently. She didn’t even see
that sex video as a bad thing. In her opinion, Ruby should have followed in Kim
Kardashian’s footsteps and turned that video into several profitable business
ventures for herself.
With her outstanding looks and
sexual aptitude, the redhead could have been famous by now and them with her.
Who cares what her family thought? With the amount of money Ruby stood to gain,
the Hudsons would have just had to get over it. Better yet, let their daughter’s
newfound millions comfort their hurt feelings and embarrassment.
“What did I do to him?” Ruby
said, reiterating the question she’d been asked. “Darn if I know.” She
shrugged. “I was just being my regular old self last night. Gavin was the one
being so exceptional. My body is going through changes right now just thinking
about how exceptional he was.” She crossed her legs and squeezed her thighs
together. She let out a low moan.
“The regular old self you show
your family? Or the regular old self you show your friends?” Nancy asked,
intrigued by which side of Ruby the man had been so captivated with.
“The self that I show my
friends. My true self. Gavin seems to like me wild and impulsive. At
least that’s what he said.” Ruby smiled.
Peggy Lee leaned in closer to
look at her. “Are you sure you didn’t
fall in love with him back? Because you are absolutely glowing right
now.” She giggled.
Ruby frowned. “No!” she
replied quickly and very loudly.
“Whoa!” Nancy winced, holding
her ears. “Did you have to protest so loudly?”
“Sorry. I didn’t want either
of you to get the wrong idea,” Ruby said in her normal voice. “There is no love
at all on my part, just extreme lust. I can’t afford to fall in love with
anyone.”
“Why not, Ruby?” Peggy Lee
didn’t look all that convinced.
Nancy wasn’t convinced at all
as she returned her hands to the table.
“Because to me being in love
comes with its own form of bondage. Certain things are going to be expected of
me, things that I might not want to do. As both of you know, I’m already doing
too many things I don’t want to do out of love now,” Ruby answered.
“But you just signed on to be
somebody’s wife for the next year, Ruby. That right there is gonna come
with its own set of expectations,” Peggy Lee persisted. “Are you sure
you’re up for this?”
“Yes, because the end is going
to justify the means. What’s spending one year of my life hanging out with
Gavin compared to spending the rest of my life trapped in this town?” Ruby
reasoned.
“You want to leave Blue-eyed
Hollow that bad, huh?” Nancy said, speaking again after another moment of
silence. She never wanted to leave the Blue Ridge mountain area. She loved it.
She wanted to raise her children here among the rounded mountains, which were
famous for their bluish color when seen from a distance.
Ruby nodded. “Yes, more than
anything. Which is why I’m swearing you both to secrecy.”
“Oh, we won’t tell a soul,”
Peggy Lee said, answering for them both. “We want what’s best for you. Only
thing is…” She paused and sniffed back a tear. “…we’re gonna miss you when
you’re gone.”
Speak for yourself, Nancy
mused, keeping her face neutral as Ruby and Peggy Lee cried and hugged each
other. I’m not going to miss her one bit. I wish she would leave now.
Why wait until the year is over?
If Ruby left now, Nancy wouldn’t
have to worry about losing another eligible bachelor to the gorgeous redhead.
Then she’d truly be the most beautiful woman in Blue-eyed Hollow and
Cleavertown combined.
