1. Trust - The Promise by Jade is Awesome (best motivational novels .TXT) 📖

was so hard to. I went to the door and opened it. There he was, my childhood friend. He was wearing a pink short sleeved shirt eventhough its about to rain and he was wearing grey shorts. His face was filled with happiness. If he wasn't gay, he would have so many girls lining up because of his light brown twinkling eyes and blond hair that was covered by his hat.. He saw me and a big smile spread on his face.
'Hey redhead! He screamed hugging me tight and pulling me off the floor. He gave me swirl. 'You are looking gorgeous.'
'And so are you Sammy! Love your hat!' I said. It was a green feret that were for boys and girls. Mostly girls.
'Its yours.' He put it on my head. After he was done his smile went upside down. He was looking at Conor. There was a small awkward silence until I spoke. 'So Sam this is my boyfriend Conor and Conor this is my childhood friend Sam.' I said. Conor put his hand out. But Sam just stared at him.
'Sam?' I said. Conor looked at me for help but I didn't know what to do. Sam then went around Conor trying to look at him from head to toe. Conor just stood there helplessly. 'Hmm, so your Rubys boyfriend eh?' He said looking at him for any sign of weakness.
'Thats what Ruby said.' Conor said happily.
'You think your funny, don't you Conur?' Sam said, saying Conors names wrong.
'Its actually Conor.' Conor corrected.
'Sam-' I was about to say lets forget about it but Sam interrupted.
'Look pretty boy, No one messes with this girl.' He pointed at me and then poked Conor's chest. 'You understand?' He said coldly.
Conor nodded like a child getting punished.
'Okay then, lets eat!' Sam said happily. He quickly went into the kitchen and started taking things out from his suitcase. I missed Sams moodswings.
Me and Conor exchanged looks. When Sam went upstairs to freshen up, I said sorry to Conor.
'Its fine Ruby. He really cares about you.' He touched his chest. The poke must have hurt. I quickly walked up to him and kissed his chest from his shirt.
'It'll be fine Conor.' I said. He looked at me and came closer. He kissed me on the cheek lightly. We heard someone clear their throat.
We looked to see Sam there looking mad. That was quick.
'Sorry.' Me and Conor said in unison. We were about to sit down to eat when Conor had some work to do.
'Well see ya Conor.' I said hugging him.
'Yeah, theres a formal party at my house tomorrow, the invite will come to through the post. And I would love it if you came.' He said.
'Erm... I don't know...' I said. I am feeling better but I haven't even got a dress and I'm going to meet him family so its a lot of pressure. And its a formal party and I've never been to one of them.
'Go on Ruby, it'll be fun.' Sam said not even looking at me. He was just eating and not really looking bothered. I smiled. Atleast he was fine with Conor. 'Okay but-'
'Thats great! And It'll be greater if Sam came.' Conor said looking at Sam with hope. I knew it. Conor wanted to show Sam that he can look after me and whats a better way then a party?
'I'll think about.' Sam said glumly. I tried to read his face but It was just blank.
'Okay. Bye guys.' Conor said giving me a quick hug. Conor smiled at me and then went out the door.
Chapter 20

t was great. Me and Sam talked a lot. It was great Sam was here or I would have been dying of boredom. He told me about his new car thats going to be transported here from his hometown. I told him about school and what has been going on.
'And thats how I met Conor.' I said helping him wash the dishes. He washed while I dryed.
'This Conor guy, hes rich right?' Sam said.
'Yeah, but it never looks like it.' I said drying the spoons.
'Except with his rich clothes, rich mind and rich talk.' Sam said.
I raised my eyebrow. 'Whats up with you?' I said.
'Ruby, I'll tell you whats up. Conor is rich.' He said softly.
'So?'
'Conor is everything that you hate. Hes rich. And what was the promise your mother told you?'
I sighed. 'I know but-'
'What was the promise Ruby?'
'That I shouldn't trust the rich.'
'And why?' He said slowly like he might need to take the words out.
'Because of my dad. My dad. My dad was rich and Conor is rich. My dad gets angry and Conor gets angry. My dad gets his way and Conor gets his way.' I whispered. I smiled sadly. 'Hes everything like my dad, isn't he?' I said. But Sam didn't need to say anything. Because I knew it. Even it if it hurt.
'You really love him don't you?' He said looking at me.
'How did you-'
'Its a friend instinct. And he really loves you back.'
'Yeah, hes perfect. Did you know that before you came he made me soup. And not just any soup, the best soup in the world!' I said. He smiled like he understood. 'He loves me more than anyone but when I tell my mum-'
'I know Rubes, but you got to what you got to do.' He said. He washed the last dish and put it away. 'I'm really proud of you. You know why?'
'Why?' I said looking at him with a confused face.
'Because you can risk your soulmate just for your Mum's happiness.' He said tilting his head.
I laughed. 'Of course I will. I love my mum and I'll do anything for her. She loved me so much even after all these things that happened to her.'
'Come here.' He gave me tight hug. I really needed it.
'Thanks Sam.' I mumbled on his chest.
He kissed me on the forehead and said 'Don't mention it. Come on, lets go to bed.'
'Wait, you can't boss me around, your nearly the same age as me.' I protested.
'Well I'm still your babysitter as your mother says so I can tell you what to do.' He said smiling smugly.
I groaned. 'Well okay.'
I went to my room and got ready for bed. I put my mobile on charge and picked the soup bowl from the bed and put it on the dressing. I smiled when I remembered him feeding me.
I was going to go asleep when Sam knocked the door.
'Come in Sammy Bammy.' I said impressed by my new nickname for him.
He came in and sat near my bed. It used to be weird a few years ago if he did this because I used to have a crush on him but now its like I don't see him as any difference than Cam. He crossed his legs on the bed. 'Is that my new nickname?' Sam said.
'Yeah, its suits you.' I said smiling like an idiot.
'Okay, I'll call you Rububu.' He said smiling more like an idiot.
'Fine, lets stick with Sammy and Ruby.' I said. We both laughed. 'So you going to the party?'
'Yeah, lets see how big this boyfriend of yours is.' He said.
'Yeah, but I haven't got anything to wear.' I said sadly.
'Wait here.' After he said that he zoomed of the bed to his room. After 10 mins he came back with a box.
'I've seen the party on the newspaper. Its the biggest of the year. Its formal so you got to wear something different. Something unique.'
I raised my eyebrow. He opened the box and there was sitting the most amazing dress ever. It was black dress. It has a blue neckline that was detailed like it took hours of work. The black was shiny and looked beautiful. My jaw dropped. 'This- you-how?' I said utterly gobsmacked.
'Does that mean you like it?' He said smiling at my expression. I nodded. My jaw was still on the floor. 'I made it for a fashion show but I thought you deserved it more. It took a long time so don't tear it.' He said smiling.
'I can't take this. I - well - This is gorgeous!' I screamed. He put his hands to his ears.
'Err, thank you and you have to take it. I can't wear it.' He said. 'It doesn't suit me.'
I smiled. 'Thank you so much.'
'Don't mention it. Well, I have to call your Mum for the 'daily notice.' He said smiling.
'Goodnight Redhead.' He said while going out of my bedroom and closing the door.
I moved the box near me and put my hand through it. It was gorgeous. The black look so nice. I never knew I could ever get a dress like this. But I have, and not just that, I got a better one. I yawned. I closed the box and put it nicely on my sofa that I have on the end of the room. And then I slept.

Chapter 21

'Come on, we're going to be late!' Sam screamed for the 6th time. I quickly looked at myself at the mirror. The dress fit me perfectly. The dress was till my knees and looked great. The only jewellery I wore was round earings, 3 silver bracelets and a charm watch. I never wear lots of jewellery and I will not start now. I put my hair in a bun because I thought it was formal.
'Come on Ruby!' Sam shouted.
'Okay Okay, I'm coming.' I shouted. I got the purse from my bed that had my phone and makeup in. I was kind of nervous because its the first time Conor's family is going to see me. Will they like me? Or will they think I'm after his money? Should I even go? But Conor wouldn't like it if I stood him up. I sighed. 'Why is life so unfair?' I said to myself. I went downstairs to see Sam with his black neatly pressed suit on. He looked great with a nice black tie on. This party wasn't our normal kind of parties. This party was for the rich. Now I knew why Conor didn't say anything until the end about the party. Because he thought that maybe we don't go to these kind of party. And we certainly don't.
'I'm here so you don't-' I paused because Sam was staring at me like I was an angel. I smiled. Was this dress that good that
