Make-up was something you were never seen without. It was something you felt like you always had to have on, even though it wasn’t healthy for your already broken out skin. Acne had been something you struggled with for a couple of years, you’ve used multiple face washing products but none of them ever seemed to work the way they needed to. So make up was the way you went to avoid everyone asking or talking about it. So for you, make-up was essential, You hardly saw yourself without it, you definitely were not about to let your boyfriend, Ruby, see you without it.
The thing about Ruby is that he tends to be pretty spontaneous and in the moment at times. He can plan an entire night and then get upset that you didn’t come, only to realize he got so caught up in it that he forget to tell you to come. Another spontaneous moment was coming your way.
Today had been planned as your free day. There was a day off of school, your younger siblings were at a friend’s house and your parents were off to work. There had been a few tv shows that you wanted to catch up on, so you designated the day to stay in bed and curl up in blankets binge watching.
A few hours later you had caught up on one of the shows, holding the second show on pause while you went to the kitchen to get some snacks you heard the doorbell. Confused, you approached the door and slowly opened it to see Ruby standing in the opening.
“Ruby?!” You were shocked to see him, he said he was busy babysitting the twins.
“Yes! Wait- Why do you seem so taken back, baby girl?” Concerned stretched across his face as he entered the house, looking at your worried expression.
You weren’t wearing make up. Ruby had to be already disgusted by you. By now he would have kissed you, or at the very least commented on how beautiful you looked like he always did. But it was obvious, without the makeup he agreed you were ugly.
“I-I just wasn’t expecting you…” You closed the front door, trying to avoid eye contact with him and figure out how to get makeup on before he saw you for much longer, “I need to go to the bathroom real quick!”
Ruby looked at you, seeming even more confused than before, but he nodded and headed to sit on the couch. While he did that you quickly threw on foundation and tried to pump yourself back up before having to face him.
When you walked back into the living room Ruby waited for you to sit next to him before grabbing your hand.
“I didn’t mean to startle you by coming to visit, but my dad got off early, so I didn’t have to watch the twins. I thought I should come over here to…” His voice trailed off as he examined your face closely.
You felt your jaw clench up, he was judging you. He saw you without makeup and now knew why you wore makeup. He was probably trying to see through the foundation and see the acne scars. Tears built up in your eyes as you snapped unexpectedly at your boyfriend,
“What?” Your voice came off harsher than you wanted it to, especially after you saw Ruby jolt back slightly.
“I wasn’t-.. Did you just put on makeup?” Ruby had asked a genuine question, saying moments before when he saw you, you weren’t wearing any. But you took full offense as the tears started streaming down your cheeks.
“Yes, I did.” You stated and watched as his face changed emotions.
“How did-” Ruby tried to speak, but You didn’t want him to ask how your face had looked so different with the acne. You didn’t want to talk about it at all.
“I get that I’m ugly-”
“Wait I didn’t-”
“And you don’t want to look at my face otherwise-”
“Hold on-“
“You can’t even kiss me-“
Ruby cut you off again before you could continue on your rant, “Baby girl, what in the world are you talking about?”
He was joking. Trying to mess with you, you could see it, “My acne.. It’s ugly.”
Ruby shook his head violently and reached up to wipe your face while carefully speaking. He made eye contact to make sure he had your attention,
“Bebé, listen to me. You are beautiful. With or without your makeup, you blow me away! Your eyes sparkle like diamonds, your smile lights up the room, and just your presence makes me happy. You have no idea how much you mean to me.”
You couldn’t help but smile as Ruby kept gushing over you. Half the things you weren’t even picking up because you were so shocked that he found you beautiful. When he grabbed your hands your attention went back to him. You opened your mouth to respond to his speech, but he signaled that he wasn’t finished.
“No, listen to me. The only reason I asked if you had put makeup on, was because damn, baby! You put that on so fast and still looked like a queen.”
You were giggling at this point which made Ruby even happier to see that he had cheered you up. He pulled you into a kiss while telling you how much he loved you. You really were blessed with the best boyfriend ever.
