Rikki had felt better after crying for a while. It was good that she had told Zane how she felt. She was feeling much better after getting it out of her system. She had decided to go back to the beach to take a walk.
Meanwhile...
Zane was sitting in his office inside Rikki's Cafe. He had just gotten Rikki's message.
"Zane, you," Rikki took a deep breath, "You really hurt me. I trusted you. I thought you cared about me. I thought you loved me. I guess I was wrong." Rikki Takes another deep breath and says in a broken voice. "I really thought we were meant to be together." She let out a humorousless laugh, "But doesn't ever girl think that about their first boyfriend and love of their life? I can't believe I was so stupid to ever to think that you'd love someone like me. Was I not good enough Zane? Is that why you cheated on me with her? That girl who scared off all of our other employees just so you'd hire her; so she could get close to you and break us up. And who purposely sabotaged Bella's chance to get the job? I guess this is Goodbye Zane."
Zane was stunned. Rikki had never really been the one to wear her heart on her sleeve and tell people how she felt. Zane decided that he had to talk to her; to tell her how her really felt about her and how sorry he was for what he had done. Zane quickly set out to find Rikki, The girl he was- is in love with.
Zane spotted Rikki walking along the beach. He quickly started running towards her and began to call her name. "Rikki!"
Rikki turned her head towards the sound. Someone was calling for her. She turned and realized in shock that it was Zane Bennett.
Zane called out her name again. "Rikki!"
Rikki quickly began walking away from him. The hurt and pain resurfaced after seeing him again. Tears came to her eyes.
Zane grabbed Rikki's arm. "Rikki, please listen to me." He begged.
"Just leave me alone Zane." She said trying to pull away from him.
"Rikki," He said again. "Please just hear me out."
"No!" She said, "I'm tired of this. I'm tired of this off and on again relationship and getting hurt by you." Tears began to roll down her face. Zane grabbed her face and quickly wiped away her tears.
"I'm sorry Rikki," Zane began, "For everything. For hurting you, for cheating on you, for not being there for you when you needed me, and for everything else I may have forgotten."
Rikki was speechless Zane was apoligizing, and he never apoligized for anything.
"I love you Rikki Chadwick and I want to be with you forever." Zane got down on one knee and took her hand in both of his. "Rikki Chadwick, Will you marry me?"
Rikki gasped in shock. Zane Bennett had just proposed to her. "I-I-I can't Zane. I just can't." Rikki pulled her hand away from his.
Zane saw the fear and dis-trust in her eyes. "Why not?" He asked getting up off his knee.
"I don't want us to end up like my parents." Rikki told him, "Getting divorced, or one of us leaving the other, and I don't and can't bear the thought of losing you again."
"You won't." Zane tried to assure her.
"How do I know that? You can't promise me that that won't happen." she argued.
"No," Zane agreed, "I can't, but I'll try my very hardest to make sure that never happens to us; But I can promise to love and care for you." He paused for a moment. "So what do you say Rikki? Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Zane we're only eighteen!" She told him.
"So?"
"We're to young to get married."
"Who says?" he challenged. "People got married at 16 in the past."
"I do!" Rikki replied. "We still have college and besides we're in the 21st century."
"We can wait until we're both done with college." He offered.
"You'd really do that for me?" Rikki asked in disbelief.
"I'd wait a thousand years if It would mean spending an eternity with you." He told her sincerely.
Tears filled her eyes.
"So, I'll ask you again," Zane got down on one knee and took her hand. "Rikki Chadwick, Will you marry me?"
"Yes." She replied.
"Yes?" Zane said waiting for an affirmation.
Rikki nodded her head. "Yes, I will Marry you Zane Bennett."
Zane got up off of his knees and pulled her into his arms and hugged her to him.
"I love you Rikki."
"I love you too Zane."
