A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

The two families- The Greens and the Welby's joined by Ruth, Mrs Payne and Edwin Berrycloth were discussing the half-done preparations and how they were going to manage the rest in the remaining short time.

Amongst the group, only Ruth was the one restless. She kept fidgeting nervously, her face painted in a pretty shade of pink and her hazel eyes unsteady and stealing glances towards her right.

The peck on her cheek from that night still burned on her skin. Yes, after discussing with Ida- with the help of a hypothetical tale that she had come up with- and secretly reading some selective pages of the romantic books from Elsie's bookshelf, Ruth had come to the conclusion that it was only a peck and could not be considered as a kiss.

That did not help her mind to wander in the very wrong directions. She inhaled deeply to calm her untamed thoughts. Edwin watched her chest rising up and down, and he gulped.
