She tilted her head lightly folding her arms a bit defensively and pouted. Well, she seemed a bit eager for him to come over but what was wrong with that? Sapphire had a good reason for being eager or so, since he did want to talk about something. It did sound important to him to talk about quickly. “Well, almost, since I thought I was goin’ to be waitin’ forev’ an’ find out thar’ wasn’t a reason ya needed to talk to me…” she muttered and shook her head. “I’m not waitin’ for ya leave when you just came. An’ no, thar’s no one else ‘m waitin’ for, ‘cept for you of course.”
Sapphire was getting a bit annoyed as Ruby seemed to be talking in riddles. He was actually thinking that she was going to be pleased to see him go away as fast as he could. No, she wanted someone to come over to the dorms anyway, she didn’t mind if it was Ruby or who cares. “Laugh, an’ laugh all ya wan’ ‘cause ‘m not really gettin’ what you want anyway, Ru.” Did she just nickname him? Wow, that’s a first … she guess, although that nicknamed seemed a bit familiar as she said it. There goes her cracked skull messing up her memories again. Augh!
Placing her right hand towards the place she hit her head as she was a child, rubbing it lightly she stopped talking as she glanced at Ruby’s cheeks turning red. ‘Well this is an odd sight for sure.’ She thought as he kept muttering to himself about something, but she didn’t quite catch it. Getting a bit impatient, she sighed while rolling her eyes just wondering why he must take so long on something he wanted to tell her.
“Maybe I should leave you out here mutterin’ an’ I go back into my dorm drinkin’ my now cold hot cocoa….” she spoke a bit bored and her eyes looked towards him as Ruby finally spoke.
“Uh, what I wanted to ask is...” She nodded listening although she looked back hungrily for something on the table. “You know the dance that is going to happen… Well, I don’t know if anyone has asked you, but… I’d be honored to go with you, pretty lady.” As he finally finished, Sapphire’s face was pink, dreadfully blushing pink.
“… …. …. … Why would ya want to take me… instead of those other pretty girls ….” Looking down, she was covering her face with her left arm, was all she could say with her face hidden. “….uh, uh… I would accept… but… under… one condition…” She felt a little stupid for wanting to do this condition, but all fair chances for him taking too long to ask, so why not have a fair game …. ?
