“No, I just knew it had been a while since we’d had any time to hang out.” He shrugged his shoulders, smirking at the small cat as he reached out to scratch the top of Max’s head. “Well hello little one. I remember when I found you.” He chuckled softly before nodding. “Of course you can pick the movie.”

[littlerubyanderson]

Ruby watched as Michael greeted the kitten, Max’s meows growing in loudness as if he remembered the man who had saved him. “We should totally see the rabbit movie. Cause you look like the fox.”

“Kendrick, of course. He’ll pout? How old is he, 13?” He raised a brow, rolling his eyes before he managed to chuckle and wink. “Well what else did you think was the reason?” He questioned lightly, standing only to lean over and press a light kiss to the girl’s head. “You I’m only kidding. Thank you, Ruby.”

[littlerubyanderson]

"He’s awesome. You should meet him, you might like him.” Ruby said between giggles, throwing her arms around Michael’s neck in response to his thanks. “I’ll always bring you gifts cause you’re my friend.”

[wxrriorprincessx]

“Baby girl, you don’t have to do things simply because I like them,” he assured her, kissing the top of her head as they looked at different fabrics. “I like the black, it’s simple and I don’t have to worry about staining it,” he teased, sticking his tongue out while he reached out to touch the soft duvet. “We should get something thick and comfy.”

[littlerubyanderson]

"But I want to.” Ruby peeked up at him, offering him a small smile at his quip. Touching each option she finally settled on one and handed it to Caleb to carry. “We should get a furry blanket, Max would love it.”

[wxrriorprincessx]

Raising his eyebrows, Caleb chuckled and kissed her hand, pushing open the door to the store for her. “Well I guess we’ll have to see. Though the last time we were in there, your face got so red I thought you were having a heart attack,” he teased.

[littlerubyanderson]

"Nuh huh it wasn’t that red.” Ruby blushed all over again at the memory. She knew she shouldn’t be embarrassed about sex considering who had raised her but she was still naive in many ways. It was why Caleb had needed to coax her into much of his play.  “But you like going there and I wanna do something for you.” Ruby finally said, moving into the store as she searched through some of the options. “What do you think? Green? Black?”

[wxrriorprincessx]

“Definitely not pink,” he laughed. Raising an eyebrow, he took her hand and started into the store, glancing over at her with surprise. “Seriously? I thought you didn’t like going in there?”

[littlerubyanderson]

Ruby shrugged, a blush creeping up her cheeks at his question. “I know you like going in there...” She admitted with a sneaky little grin. “Besides, you did say we could go shopping.”

[wxrriorprincessx]

“Quilt covers it is,” he nodded, pulling into an empty parking spot. “I might walk out of the store wanting to die, but let’s do it. Let’s go look at quilt covers,” he teased, sticking his tongue out at her playfully as he climbed out of the car and rushed over to her side to open the door for her.

[littlerubyanderson]

"Nuh huh, you’ll love it. I promise it won’t be pink.” Ruby reassured him as he opened the car door. Moving to stand even as she snagged his hand again. “If you’re good we can go to Miss Kendall’s store afterwards?”

[wxrriorprincessx]

Chuckling softly, Caleb kissed her hand once more. “How about I still buy you two and still make one?” he suggested, tapping her nose playfully with his thumb. “Where to first?”

[littlerubyanderson]

"I think that sounds perfect.” Ruby conceded with a grin, squeezing his fingers with her own. “I wanna go find a new quilt cover. One that isn’t white.”

[wxrriorprincessx]

“Can’t he just climb on the couches like normal cats?” he poked, rolling his eyes with a laugh. “Well I just might,” Caleb said as he glanced over at her for a moment. “Are you going to be sad if I don’t?”

[littlerubyanderson]

"Cause he needs a place to hide, and this is a present for him cause this is his new home.” The kitten was taking the move well, but Ruby wanted him to have an amazing room much like her own. “Nuh huh, cause I’ll just make you buy me two.”

[wxrriorprincessx]

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he said as he stuck out his tongue. “A cat castle? What the hell is that?” Caleb laughed, taking her hand in his as he made his way down the road. “Build-a-Bear sounds like more fun than shopping,” he teased, pulling her hand to his lips. “I kid love, you know I love going anywhere with you.”

[littlerubyanderson]

"Max needs somewhere to climb. So he’s going to get his own pad at the pet shop. You’ll see.” She laced their fingers together, diverting her attention between the road and the man beside her. “Are you going to make a bear too?”

[wxrriorprincessx]

“I knew it. I knew I’d die by shopping,” he joked, leaning over to kiss her cheek, biting at her ear playfully. The days of sadness, and anger were gone, replaced with nothing more than bliss, and a peace at knowing that the bad was over, and Ruby was still, and always had been, his. “Really? So it’s not all tapestries and seashell bathroom decorations?” he teased, opening the car door for her.

[littlerubyanderson]

"Don’t be so dramatic.” Ruby admonished, grinning as he bent to kiss her cheek. His teeth scraping across her ear as he snuggled against her as they walked to his car. She slipped into the passenger seat, turning in her seat to watch him as he folded himself behind the wheel. “Nuh huh, not one tapestry in sight. I want new bedding, pillows, a cat castle, towels and I wanna go to Build-a-Bear.”

[wxrriorprincessx]

“C’monnnn can’t I just watch your cute, perky little ass run around and throw things at the sales guy?” he pouted, ruffling her hair playfully as he led her out of the penthouse, locking the door behind them. “I want a plasma screen and an art studio. Think you can make that happen?” he teased.

[littlerubyanderson]

"Uh huh, but you still have to help.” Ruby swatted at his hand, grinning up at him as they stepped out into the hallway. “I think we can make one of them happen and get started on the other. But I thought you’d want to go visit your favourite shop.”

[wxrriorprincessx]

Caleb grinned when he saw her, lifting her up playfully and pressing a kiss against her lips. “It’s about time,” he teased, tapping her nose. “Let’s get this over with so I can buy you dinner and pretend like I’m going to be doing any of the decorating,” he said with a grin, slipping his hand in hers.

[littlerubyanderson]

"Nuh huh, we have a list. You’re helping.” Ruby reminded him as she laced her fingers through his, tugging him towards the door. She knew Caleb would be content to simply sit around and watch her shop, but she wanted his input. This was their house and she wanted it to be perfect. “Maybe we can buy something for you too?”

[wxrriorprincessx]

Shopping was probably Caleb’s least favorite thing to do. But when Ruby was with him, he put aside his dislike and thoroughly enjoyed watching her bound up and down the aisles, rattling off ideas about what they could do in each room. Grabbing his keys and wallet, he yelled out as he ruffled the kitten’s ears. “Baby girl we’re gonna be late! We have an appointment, you look gorgeous, let’s goooo!” he called out, chuckling as he let the kitten run off again.

[littlerubyanderson]

Ruby could barely contain her excitement. She had woken up long before Caleb deemed it morning, fussing over what she should wear and trying to compile a list of all the things they needed. Ruby snagged her bag, looping it over her shoulder as she came into the living room, throwing her arms around Caleb’s neck in her exuberance. “I’m ready, promise.”

It wasn’t until he saw the girl smile that he returned it, chuckling as small arms wrapped around his neck before his own wrapped around her thin frame. “Hello!” He spoke with just as much excitement, unable to keep himself from smirking as he stepped into the home. “Well, I decided to take the day off and spend it with my second favorite girl in New York.” Michael nudged her just a bit as he winked, motioning toward the door. “I figured we could take a drive out to the theater and go from there.”

[littlerubyanderson]

“I bet Miss Kendall was busy, wasn’t she?” Ruby teased, bending down to scoop up Max before he headbutted Michael in the shin. The furball was growing accustomed to his new home but he still wanted to make sure anyone who came by wasn’t in danger of hurting his owner. "As long as I get to pick the movie?” 

[mralexandcr-deactivated20160610]

“You and that goofy friend of yours can own it. What was his name again? Kenridge or something like that?” Michael teased, mouth half full with the baked good he no doubt would be wearing in his beard when he was done. “And this is why I let you barge into my office whenever you please.”

[littlerubyanderson]

"Goofy? Kendrick? Don’t let him hear that, he’ll pout.” Ruy giggled, scrunching up her nose at the image of Kendrick hearing what her other friend thought of him. If the two ever met, it was going to result in a grumpy staring match. “Because I bring you food?”

He was silent the whole way over to her place, almost ashamed with himself for the way he’d all but shut the girl out of his life. It frightened Michael, how much her opinion of him mattered, and so when he’d been given the chance to rekindle their friendship he jumped at the opportunity. She’d become somewhat of a little sister to him in their time as friends, dare he ever say it out loud, and the idea that she carried any ill feelings toward him set the man on edge. With a deep breath he pulled into the drive and parked, grabbing the candy he’d brought her before he headed up to the front door. “Nice place, Pirate.” He teased lightly, chuckling to himself as his knuckles fell down against the door to grab someone’s attention.

[littlerubyanderson]

Ruby opened the front door, half expecting Amara on the other side. But seeing Michael brought a smile to her features. Taking a step forward she threw her arms around his neck. “Hi!” She finally settled on the one word, dropping back down on her heels as she motioned for him to come in. “How come you’re here? I thought you were drowning in work?”

[mralexandcr-deactivated20160610]

“You know, I was actually thinking about doing just that. I’d have to leave my bar in hands I could trust though.. And I don’t trust a lot of people.” He sighed, circling around to face the girl as a smile graced his features. “How’d you like to own the pub in my absence?” He wondered casually, leaning forward to pluck a muffin from the basket on his desk. “Ooh, chocolate chip? You shouldn’t have.”

[littlerubyanderson]

"Nuh huh, I’m not even old enough to drink.” Ruby reminded him with a shake of her head. “You’ve been busy, I got bored... chocolate always makes you happy.”
