Out of My League

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of 7th Heaven or the song "OutOf My League".

While listening to music with Ruthie, will Martin confess his feelings to Ruthie? Will she feel the same way?

Martin and Ruthie were in her room listening to music. After alittle while, Ruthie got thirsty and went to get a drink. While she was gone, her favorite song, "Out of my League" by Stephen Speaks, came on and Martin imediately began to smile and think about Ruthie.

"Man, Ruthie loves this song. I hope she gets back soon, I love getting to look into her beautiful chocolate brown eyes. Wait, did I just say that? No, I couldn't have, she is like my sister, right Oh man, I think I like Ruthie, maybe even love her.", thought Martin.

Its her hair and her eyes today

That just simply take me away

"That is just like Ruthie. Her beautiful long, wavy, brown hair and chocolate brown eyes steal my breath everytime I look at them! Man, I gotta stop that, there is no way she likes me, let alone loves me other than a brother.", thought Martin.

And the feeling that Im falling further in love

Makes me shiver, but in a good way

"That is exactly how I feel! I love Ruthie. I hope she loves me too."

All the times that I sat and stare

As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair

And she purses her lips, bats her eyes

As she playes with me sitting there slack-jawed

And nothing to say but I love her with all that I am

And my voice shakes along with my hands

Cause I'm out of my league once again

"This song reminds me so much of Ruthie. I just wish I could tell her. What if I am out of my league?", Martin thought. What Martin doesn't know is, Ruthie loves him with all of her heart and is wondering if he loves her too.

It's a masterful melody

When she calls out my name to me

As the world spins around her

She laughs, rolls her eyes

And I feel like Im falling

But its no surprise

At that moment, Ruthie returned. She just stared at Martin, who was laying on her bed listening to her favorite song with a goofy but sweet smile on his face.

"I wonder if Martin thinks of me this way.", wondered Ruthie.

Its her hair and her eyes today

That just simply take me away

And the feeling that Im falling further in love

Makes me shiver but in a good way

Cause I love her with all that I am

And my voice shakes along with my hand

Cause she's all that I see and she's all that I need

And I'm out of my league once again

"Do you feel that way Martin?", asked Ruthie.

"What do you mean?", he replied.

"Do you feel that way about me?", she asked.

"Is this happening?", thought Martin. "Well, its now or never."

He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I love you with all of my heart and soul. You are beautiful, smart, funny…just…everything a guy could ask for. I think I have always felt this way, but I didn't completely realize it until just now, listening to this song.", responded Martin. "How about you?"

"I have loved you since the day you followed Peter and I home.", she said.

"Well, with that said, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?", Martin asked hopefully.

With a smile, Ruthie replied,"Yes, I will." Then she gave him a huge hug.

Then, they began to dance, as Martin softly sang the last part of the song in Ruthie's ear.

Yes she's all that I see

And she's all that I need

And I'm out of my league once again

THE END
