DISCLAMER: I OWN NOTHING!

Ruthie and Martin just laid down on his bed to talk and nothing more but when Ruthie laid down; she knew something she would regret was going to happen so she jumped up and sat at his desk. Martin was a little upset, but he understood, Ruthie had been through a lot in her life, but the one thing she didn't need was sex before marriage, especially with Lucy and her father being reverends. He loved her no matter what and he didn't need that to prove it. She looked at him with big brown eyes, he took one look at how scared she was, and jumped up, he had an idea. After putting a sweater and jacket on himself and her, he led them to his back porch where he had a bar-b-q and went in for a moment to come back out with chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. He lit the bar-b-q and took a grilling fork he had. He placed a marshmallow on each tip and started roasting the marshmallows, he glanced at the love of his life and she didn't look scared, she looked happy but confused. He handed her a smore and kissed her cheek then said, "Ruthie, no matter what, I will never let the rain touch you."

Ruthie understood what he meant, no matter what; he would never hurt her, or let anyone else. "Martin?"

"Yes?"

"I think I'm ready. I don't know about the whole living together or marriage part, but for now, I'm ready for a relationship. I think I just didn't want one because I was afraid all men would be like Peter, but I know you're not." What she said meant the world to Martin. She had basically just said that he wasn't a dick. At least not like Peter was. He chuckled at his last thought and kissed Ruthie deeply, then the power came back, but the storm was still going. They went inside and turned on the news to learn there was a hurricane. "Wow, I didn't think a hurricane could reach us here." Ruthie spoke as if it were just another simple thing.

"Ruthie, you're not scared anymore are you?"

"Martin, as long as I'm with you, I'll be just fine."

"Good, because I didn't want to go back outside, wait, I have to turn off the bar-b-q." Ruthie giggled at the worried look on his face as he rushed back to his small porch to turn the bar-b-q off.

"Don't want the house catching on fire, do you?" She was just messing with him and he was smiling when he came back.

"Hi Ruthie," he spoke in a mysterious tone… as if he were up to something.

"M-m-m-martin, what are you doing?" She asked him, just as he took a sopping wet sponge from behind his back and threw it at her.

"I love you Ruthie," he was scared now, she had the sponge, and she was running…… more like charging at him with the sponge.

"Oh yeah, well let me show you how much I love you!" She said her last words, just as she jumped onto his back and he was soaked.

"Ooh, you are SO paying for that... COME HERE!" She was running, and she was faster than him. "Ruthie, Baby, come here please. Just set down the sponge," she had a HUGE smile on and he had dropped the sponge giving her the perfect chance to pick it up.

"Martin, you started this," she ran at him and he stood there in shock, "AND I'M GONNA FINISH IT!" He couldn't believe it, Ruthie had knocked him down… and it wasn't pretty. She was laughing and he was smiling.

"Camden, just wait until I get in a fight with you, you will so get paid back." He finished and kissed her.
