Ruby was taking the last box of stuff from the back of her flower shop and putting them into the back of her Toyota Rav 4 and closing the trunk. This was the end to an eight year long dream that she had wanted to fufill since she was a child. She had always been fascinated by two things as a child, flowers and wrestling. She really had taken her first steps in a wrestling ring with her dad helping to hold her hands. She looked at said picture and smiled, her dad had blond hair in the picture and still did to this day. He hadn’t changed much at all since she was little. Ruby got behind the wheel of her car and took one last look at the shop as she drove away. The new owners wanted all of the rock painting stuff removed and so Ruby had done her best to get the back area of the store all cleaned up. Her home was only about half an hour from the store which always made it a fairly quick trip in the morning.
As she pulled around the corner that led to her quiet cul da sac, Ruby’s hands immediately tightened their grip around the wheel. Her mom was here and sitting on the front porch swing. Parking the car, Ruby got out and didn’t even try and force a smile.
Ruby: Hello mom, what are you doing here?
Michelle: Is that any way to speak to your mother?
Ruby: It is when you disowned me for signing up to take wrestling classes.
Michelle: But your father and I just wanted what was best for you.
Ruby: THAT man is not my father and he never will be. I have memories of my real dad before you ripped us all apart.
Michelle: Before I ripped us apart? Your so-called father was sleeping around with who knows how many women behind our backs and you want me to forgive him? What about me Ruby? What was I supposed to do?
Ruby: You stole my father away from me and now he doesn’t even know what I look like anymore! Get off my door step mom and don’t come back. Oh and for the record, I sold the flower shop and I am going to put the money towards my wrestling wardrobe and my rock painting fun!
Michelle: You did what?
Ruby: You heard me! Now get off of my property!
Michelle: Wait a minute, you’ve talked to him haven’t you?
Ruby: Yes I have but not a single sign of recognition!
Tears started to trickle down Ruby’s cheeks.
Ruby: Don’t touch me! It’s for the best right now, I’ll reveal myself in time. Now get out of her before I call the cops on you for harassment and tresspassing!
Ruby struggled to unlock her front door and then when she finally managed to get it open she could feel her mother behind her.
Michelle: Ruby please….
Ruby: No more!
And she slammed the door in her mother’s face. Ruby collapsed on the couch and cried. When she woke up the house was dark and her rottweiler was asleep on the foot of the couch softly snoring.
Ruby:Hey handsome! Thanks for keeping my feet warm. What time is it?
She wondered as she looked over at the clock.
Ruby: Oh no doggies must be starving! I’ll feed you first before I feed myself, come on Handsome lets go get some food!
Handsome threw his head back and howled as he followed mommy into the kitchen. Handsome watched intently as mommy filled his bowl and then made a phone call to call for her own dinner. She had decided upon chinese food tonight with a dinner of rice,an egg roll and chicken balls with chow mein noodles and chicken. The delivery drivers always knew to have a fortune cookie on hand for Handsome when they arrived. Giving the driver a fifteen dollar tip, she locked the door again and headed over to the kitchen where she dished up her food and then curled up on the couch to watch Young Sheldon.
After she was done eating, Ruby put her dishes in the dishwasher and then sat back down on the couch and pulled her phone out of her back pocket and set it up to record.
Ruby: Listen up Milk Mason and Coding Rhodes! You two are going into this match against Jordan and I with your heads in the clouds. Jordan’s worked very hard to get to where he is and so have I. For fuck sake, I quite litterally took my first steps in a wrestling ring. I could kick both of your asses with one arm tied behind my back. Milk Mason you’re nothing but a ball of fluff and as for you Coding Rhodes don’t even get me started! Don’t think for a single second that the two of you have a chance in hell of beating Jordan and I! We’re both very hungry and want and we will get this win!
