CHAPTER 7

Someone was shaking her awake, but Ruby just wanted to sleep for five more minutes. She didn’t have a job to go to anyway, and it wasn’t as if she had a date she was going for. She seriously just need her beauty sleep.

She was going to sleep more and see if the person would leave her the hell alone.

“Wake up you brat. You can't just stay in all day without going out to look for a job.” The voice said and Ruby groaned. She popped one of her eyes open to loon at the annoying person and it turned out to be the only person it could be. Olivia!

“Leave me alone, for goodness sake. I just want to sleep for five more minutes.” She said.

"Well, you've been saying that since six o’clock and this is seven o’clock. I'm going to work in an hour but I sure as hell won't leave you at home to continue your moping around routine.”

Ruby rolled her closed eyes and then she opened them to look at her cousin who decided to be annoying today. She had lost her job and her boyfriend a week ago, so why was she disturbing her about getting a job now.

Sitting up, she said. "What do you want, Livy?”

Olivia shook her head with a scoff. "What I want?” she asked, looking at her weirdly. "I don't want anything either than for you to get off your add to that bathroom and have your bath, so you can look for a job.” She said.

Of course, she would find a job but she just wasn't ready and she told Olivia as much.

“I don't care what you want, you're getting your ass up and going into that bathroom.” She said.

Ruby knew how pointless it was to argue this much with her cousin when she had her mind set on something so she just sighed and stood up from the medium sized bed she had gotten from a friend whilst still in college.

The friend stayed off campus, and she was a year ahead of Ruby, so when she graduated, she had asked her if she wanted her bed and Ruby had been elated. Although, at the time, it was still very good, but it was becoming less comfortable to sleep on now.

She walked to the bathroom that was right outside her door, the ones they shared and started the shower before getting rid of her panties and t-shirt. That was all she usually wore to bed. A pair of panties and a t-shirt.

After washing her hair with her normal pineapple flavor shampoo, she washed her body with her bubblegum shower gel and then she wrapped herself in a clean towel, a smaller one in hand to dry her hair, and walked back to her room.

As she entered, she saw Olivia standing at the edge of her bed with a dress in hand. It was Olivia’s dress, she recognized it from when she went to dinner with her boyfriend a few weeks ago.

With a frown on her face, Ruby asked. "What are you holding that for?”

“It's yours, and you're…” she started to say, but Ruby interrupted her. "No, that's not mine. It's yours. You wore it to dinner with Liam a few weeks ago.” She corrected.

Olivia rolled her eyes at that. Of course she knew that. "I know that, Ruby, but it's yours for today. You're wearing this today. I have an interview lined up for you at a company.” She said.

Well, that was something Olivia conveniently forgot to mention to her. She knew she had failed to mention it to her on purpose so that she could spring it on her like this. She wanted to yell at her for doing that without telling her, but she couldn't because she also knew that she had done it with her best interest at heart.

Signing, she asked. "Why do I have to wear your dress though?” she wished that they do not have the same body type though, because she would have been able to reject wearing her clothes.

Where Ruby liked to wear a comfy type of cloth, Olivia wore the body-molding type that showed off her shape. Although, they had the same body type, the only different between them was Ruby being a tall girl while Olivia was a but shorter.

“Because I'm not going to allow you wear your normal clothes for the interview.” She answered with a small shrug.

“And what's so wrong with my clothes?” she asked.

Olivia wanted to roll her eyes at the question because she knew Ruby had also at some point admitted that she wasn’t really dressing in a nice way. "You said it yourself, you need to change the way you dress, Ruby. Stop being a brat just to argue with me and get into this dress before I shove you in myself.”

Murmuring her opinion about the dress, she walked to her dresser to pick up the dryer so that she would dry her hair, then she curled it a bit before packing it in a bun.

She collected the dress from Olivia and wriggled into it, then she turned back to the dresser to stare at the woman staring back at her. The dress was really perfect on Olivia, but it was good on her as well. Only it didn’t look like an interview kind of dress.

“That’s my girl. You look absolutely stunning. Now, finish up while I get the car started and I’ll drop you off there.” Olivia said, and with that, she walked out of her room.

Ruby sighed, still checking herself out.

Thank God, Olivia was driving her to the place because she wasn’t sure she could survive in a bus with a dress like this. It was a midnight blue dress that was flowing from the waist and it reached a place above her knee, perhaps about an inch or two, but she wasn’t really comfortable as she would be in her khaki pants and t-shirt.

She just hoped that the car would not have to race too fast. Liam had been the one to give her the car when he bought a new one. He was from a rich family even though he worked as a nurse, and his family didn’t mind one bit that he was dating someone below their class.

Ruby would never think to get someone like that anyway, but she wanted someone she could love, someone special, and she hoped it can't too much to ask.
