Rules

“It's going to lead to something,” she blurted out,

“It's not, give in Ruth,” he persuaded her into accepting, she pushed him and mouthed some gibberish, and all of a sudden she was mute.

“Ruth?“ He called out to her but received no response, he realized that she had fallen asleep. He shook his head and took off her shoes, and he went to the bathroom and brought a bowl containing water and a cloth, he cleaned her face and hands.

The next day, Ruth woke up late, her head was throbbing hard. “Huh,” she groaned, she held her head in her wincing in pain.

“That's what happens when you drink too much,” She heard a familiar voice from behind her, startled, she jumped and tried to move back, but she fell off the bed with a thud.

“What in heaven's name are you doing on my bed? Don't tell me you spend the night in my house?“ She yelled, her head clicked, she checked herself and only calmed down when she realized he hasn't touched her.

Robert just looked at her while she spoke, he rested his head on his hand while his elbow rested on the bed.

“You are in my house,” Robert said, she suddenly became quiet and examine the house,

“What I'm I doing here?“ She asked,

“You were wasted last night so I had to bring you here,” he said, he pushed himself up and sat in a sitting position.

“It's all your fault,” she muttered almost crying, she knew herself when she gets drunk, and she suddenly becomes a different person with a different personality.

“It wasn't my fault, you took in the alcohol like it was water, I told you to calm down but you didn't listen.“ He got down from the bed and pulled her out of the room.

Ruth didn't bother to ask him where they were heading, he took her to his kitchen. He carried her and placed her on the kitchen counter, he made hangover soup and put it in a bowl.

“What is that? I'm not hungry, get that away from me,” she muttered like a child, Robert raised his eyebrows and looked at her funny.

“What?“ She asked when she noticed his stare,

“Nothing,” he said, “This is hamburger soup, it is going to help with the hangover.“ He said,

“I don't want it,” she pushed the bowl away from her face,

“Take this else I'll kiss you,” Robert threaten, Ruth rolled her eyes and chuckled.

“I can't threaten me with that, you won't do it and I'm not going to have that.“ She said, Robert tried one last time but she pushed him back,

He placed the bowl down, suddenly held her by her head, and slammed his lips on hers. The kiss was sudden, Ruth thought he wouldn't do it so she didn't expect it and her body was slow to react. She suddenly pushed him after she had gained composure.

“I'm going to try this one last time, you are going to accept it or else.“ He didn't complete his statement because he knew that she knows the consequences.

He scoop a spoon full of the soup and gave it to her, she opened her mouth without any hesitation. He kept the plate aside after she had eaten everything that was in it.

“Don't you think it's high time you give in to what I asked? How long will you continue to deny your body what it wants?“ Robert asked,

The question took Ruth by surprise, she didn't give him a reply, she had to admit that her body has been graving for his but she has never been in a friend's benefits relationship before.

“Come on, I promise to stop whenever feelings start getting attached, I promise never to cross the boundaries.“ He said,

“What if you fall in love with me?“ She asked,

“That's impossible, no hard feelings Ruth, you are beautiful, intelligent, and all but I don't have a heart.“ He replied, “I'll never fall in love with you or any girl,” he said,

“Okay,” she finally accepted,

“Okay as in you are going to be my friend with benefits?“ He asked just to be sure and she nodded.

He cupped her cheeks and kissed her hard, she was still sitting on the kitchen counter. He grab her ass and gave it a gentle squeeze earning a moan from her.

He break the kiss for them to breathe, “but we are going to put up some rules which are both going to follow,” she suddenly said,

“Of course, I'd of being angry with you if you didn't set rules.“ He muttered.

“You are not allowed to sleep with any girl while we are having sex,” she started,

“Why?“ Robert asked,

“Because I'd like to be in good health, I don't want you infecting me with STDs,” she replied.

“Fine, I accept,” he said,

“Secondly, we are going to the hospital to get ourselves tested before anything,” she said,

“Can I know why?“ He asked,

“Before getting laid by you, I'll like to be sure if you are clean or not.“ She replied to his question.

“I'm one hundred percent clean but for the benefit of the doubt, sure we will go to the hospital to get ourselves tested.“ he accepted,

“You are not allowed to call me when I'm at work,” she said,

“I can't accept that, I'm allowed to call you whenever I want. You are not going to stop me from spending time with you because you have work,” he said,

“But..“ she couldn't complete her statement because he cut her short.

“It's final, if your boss doesn't accept then you can quit the job, I'm going to put you on a monthly allowance, it's going to be hired than what you earn from that company and I'll handle your shopping, and other expenses.“ He said,

“I'm not your girlfriend, you don't have to do all those things for me,” she frowned,

“This is part of the benefits,” he said, Ruth didn't talk about it again.

“Don't you have anything to add to the rules?“ She asked,

“I don't, I'm fine with the ones we've agreed on.“ He said
