《More than rubies [D. Alli x E. Dier]》Chapter 14

Oh no.
I could see Ruby from here.
She was waving furiously, but I couldn't take that now.
I was fed up, and angry.
I didn't know why.
Well, I knew it was something with Ruby, she made me mad.
"I couldn't concentrate no more, so Mauricio switched me out. Is something wrong with that?"
Kyle shook his head.
"I just meant to offer you to talk to me, but I didn't mean to offend you..."
I sighed sarcastically.
"Well then, leave me alone."
McGee and Trippier looked at each other.
"He didn't mean it like that.", Vincent tried to comfort Kyle.
"I bet he's exhausted from the first half."
He smiled innocently.
I swore, Vincent was too pure for the world.
At full-time the result was 2-1.
Nothing much really happened in the second half, but Kyle Walker receiving a yellow card.
After the match we went back into the cabine, where Mauricio was quite happy with the result and everything was fine, until Ruby came...
"Oh no.", I sighed.
"Hi, Dele!", she screamed.
"Congratulations on the win!"
I fake-smiled at her.
"Thank you. I suppose I take you out now, because I'm supposed to?"
She laughed.
"Italian would be nice now!"
She was so stupid, I hated that.
"Is it okay, if I leave now, boss?" Mauricio nodded.
"Of course.", he winked. "Have fun."
"Let's go.", I mumbled and went out of the building. "Gotcha car 'ere?", I asked.
She nodded. "That silver one..."
"Mind if I drive?"
She shook her head.
We silently sat in the car and I drove us to an italian restaurant.
Our "date" was very quiet.
"Dele, are you okay?" I nodded.
"No, don't lie. You're not. I see what you want to say: you find that restaurant stupid and you want to drink something?"

I chuckled.
"You're not wrong..."
She laughed. "Let's rather drink something..."
So we went to a nearby club and got really drunk.
Too drunk.
"Rrruby?", I yelled and hugged her tightly.
"Can I...", I giggled.
"Can I tell you something?", I asked.
"Sure. Delldell.", she muttered.
"I am gayyy gayy." I smirked.
"Meee tooo.", she answered.
The next morning I woke up next to her in her bed.
"Argh. I've got a bad, bad head ache!", I frowned.
"Me, too. I made us coffe. Here, Aspirin", she threw some at me.
We awkwardly had breakfast next to each other.
"Is it true?", she began to break the silence.
"Is what true?", I asked confused. "...you're gay?" I blushed.
"...I...", there was no point in denying anymore.
"Yeah. I'm sorry, that I used you." She shook her head.
"Me, too. I'm sorry I used you. I'm lesbian."
I smiled.
"Damn, that's great. I'm happy that you don't hate me. That changes a lot."
She chuckled.
"Yeah, it does. I want to hide my sexuality from my crush."
"Me, too.", I answered.
"But why did you try to convince me, to stay the night?"
Ruby rolled her eyes.
"By 'having fun' I meant ordering pizza and watching Netflix, you pervert."
I was embarresed.
"My bad. Next time, maybe. But tell me, who's your crush?", I smirked.
"You don't know her. She's a childhood friend. She may not be a model, however, she is the most beautiful person in the world."
Ruby blushed now, too.
"And who's yours?"
"Guess."
"Do I know him?" I nodded.
"Is he one of you team mates?"
I nodded again.
"Oh no... That must be hard for you."

"Literally.", I added and smirked.
"Gross. I didn't want to know that."
I laughed.
"It gets even worse. We share one room..."
She looked shocked.
"Oh no! Torture! It's not Kyle, is it?" I shook my head.
"Ouh!", she smirked.
"Yeah, good catch. He's cute."
I blushed.
"Of course he is."
"You two are one hell of a cute couple. Dele Dier... Or Eric Alli? Nah, Dele Dier sounds better."
I bit my lip.
"I don't think he loves me back."
Ruby patted my back.
"Don't give up, yet. You'll never know."
"I'm sure he doesn't."
We continued talking about our crushes 'till the afternoon.
"Oh, and sorry that I've been so rude to you all the time. I didn't think you were that cool back then."
She shook her head.
"It's cool. No problem."
I smiled and waved at her, when I hopped into the taxi.
Then I went back to my team mates.
"Hey, guys!" I cheered.
"Sorry if I've been rude to you Kyle."
But Kyle just smirked.
"How was the night?"
I chuckled.
"Great."

Mana Tank Magus
Jonathan Orville has had a thoroughly enviable life, completely devoid of pain or suffering. Though his life is tragically cut short due to a sharp rock, he would never regret his perfectly positive life where nothing bad ever happened to him, ever.Even though he doesn't regret it at all, he still finds himself summoned to the netherworld for a new adventure as livestock for a needlessly attractive demoness who is totally probably in love with him.This is a story about using the power of positive thinking to overcome adversity. Demonic forest fires, consumption of souls, rivers of blood and rampant carnage; none of these can get in the way of a dedicated effort to think positively.Newest chapters at: https://manatankmagus.wordpress.com/This location is likely to stay a bit behind. I am very lazy. :DDISCLAIMER: My primary purpose here is Comedy rather than badass skills and righteous adventures (although there's some of that too). The main character can be a little bumbling at times and has a much higher opinion of himself than justified. If you really dislike that kind of thing, this is probably not for you.

The Orb Weaver Chronicles
"The Orb Weaver Chronicles contains several major and unique events that may or may not unknowingly intertwines with one another. The author of these chronicles is unknown, although some have hinted at the symbolism behind its name..." - Year unknown, location unknown 9 February 2022 Update: Welcome to the companion short story compilation of my novel trilogy The Shadow Paradigm. This compilation features prequels, sidequels and sequels to the novel's major plotline, as well as featuring a wide range of characters, new and recurring. Prior knowledge of the novel is not necessary as the Orb Weaver Chronicles' short stories are standalone. Once called The Arkesyyan Chronicles, I've deleted quite a few of its old stories. Due to the new avenue and revision, oriented toward more mystery and film-noir ambience, that I took my stories into, I've removed all aliens and overly sci-fi aspects of the whole TSP lineup, so I've updated the Orb Weaver Chronicles accordingly. I hope you enjoy them, and in time, a revised version will also be updated.
