Your Dad's Perfect (Ruby) novel Chapter 3

Today has gone quickly. Class has ended, and I'm determined to cross another item off the list. Parking the car, I walk to the shop. Standing outside, I look at the store. Sucking in a breath, I push the door open and walk in. I begin to look around.

My hand trails over the leather lingerie. Picking up a set, I carry it with me as I continue to look through the lingerie and make my way towards the sex toys.

I stop at them and glance around. Now what? My hand reaches out blindly and grabs three different ones. I've no idea what they are, but I'm not about to read the boxes in the shop. Walking towards the till to pay, I stop.

My eyes see the items. I grab a pair of handcuffs and a flogger and continue to the till. I place the items down. I watch as she picks each item up and scans them all before I pay, and she hands me the bag.

Getting into the car, I laugh. I did it. What the hell did I buy? I laugh, knowing that maybe I should have done research before. When I get home, I place the items in the drawer next to my bed. They are items I have to use. Otherwise, why visit a shop and buy them?

"We're going out!" Bex and Ivy burst into my room. "Oh my God!" Bex runs over and pulls the items out.

"You made a list!" She squeals and hugs me.

"Okay, calm down. Anyway, I'm not going out." He will be there with her.

"Yes, you fucking are! Don't let him push you into hiding. That confirms his words. It's been a month. Get on a slutty dress, now." Ivy drags me up from the bed.

"Fine!" Walking over, I look through the clothes.

"No! You're wearing this." Bex holds out a dress, and my eyes widen.

"Is that even legal?" I stare at it; it's short, and most of it is see-through.

"Very, get it on. Look, you don't want him back. Screw him, not literally, as that's not allowed! Show him what he's missing. You might be a prude, but he can't fuck for shit."

I laugh at her words.

"What? I've heard you two. He doesn't hit the spot. Come on." Ivy bounces around me.

"Okay, give me ten minutes." I grab the dress and go to the bathroom to get ready. Walking out, they are waiting.

"Oh yeah, he never saw you in anything like this. Make him bleed." I laugh at Bex. "That's if he's there, we're going to Rainbow Horse." That's a gay bar. Jake does go there, not often, but still, there's a chance he is there, which makes me want to refuse.

The bar is full; Bex and Ivy have pretty much been pouring the shots down my throat. I won't complain, though, as I'm laughing and enjoying the night. Standing on the dance floor with them, my body moves to the music.

I'm glad I decided to come out. They were right I do feel better already. My body stops when I see him and her together. They are staring towards me and laughing.

"Don't. You do not let him and that evil excuse of a woman run you out and stop having fun. Turn your back to them and dance." Bex pulls me so I'm no longer facing them. It wouldn't be as bad if he wasn't talking about me and saying shit.

I see Oliver dancing, and I smile toward him. "While dancing, move me closer to Oliver." This will stop Jake from staring at me. Bex and Ivy nod but look at me, confused. We dance, and as we do, they keep moving toward him.

Dancing beside him, he notices me and glances down.
