Chapter 15

Lex stood there just looking stupid. "Oh..." he said after a few minutes of recovering. "Just a friend...." Lex said after a couple of more minutes.

"Is he always this slow?" Cat whispered in Amber's ear.

"Be nice. He isn't slow. He is just a jealous guy aren't you Lex?"

"Hmm, yes. But you are mine and no one else's." Lex said as he pulled Amber into a hug. He held just one of his arms around her and she had one of her arms around him.

Two hours later

Amber is back at the house while Lex is running some "errands". He was actually going to get the ring. He was going to propose to Amber this night. He was so excited. He was just hoping that she would say yes. He was at the jewelry and got his ring. "I will be back to pay you off." Lex said as he left. He went back to the house. He saw that Amber was helping Slade and Trudy to build the swing set in the front yard. Lex knew that he would be able to plan the evening for the two of them. He went inside the house and sat down in the kitchen. There he started to think how he would propose to Amber.

That night Lex took Amber on a picnic to a spot he had found on the island. While they sat there Lex was thinking of how to give her the ring. He decided to put it into the ice cream he had bought. He made the ice cream ready and put the ring in Amber's ice cream bowl. Lex smiled as he handed Amber the bowl. Amber ate away and when she reached the bottom she felt the ring. She spit it out and looked at it. She saw the pearl on the gold ring. She just smiled brightly as Lex took the ring and got up and stood on one knee. "Amber would you do me the honors of becoming my wife?" Lex asked looking at Amber. She was still smiling and this time she was also nodding. "Yes I want to be your wife Lex." Amber answered while Lex put the ring on her left hand. Amber kissed Lex and the two lay down on the blanket kissing, tugging at each other's clothes. One thing lead to another and a few minutes later they were having sex.

Trudy was getting anxious of where Amber and Lex where, she knew that they could take care of themselves but she was still worried. She walked up to her room and went to check on Brady who was asleep. Trudy decided that she should go to bed as well. She knew that they would be back.

Slade was sitting in the kitchen with a cup of chocolate in his hand just sipping it. He was growing tired so he headed up to his bedroom. It didn't take him long to fall asleep after he had lain down on his bed.

The next morning

Amber was lying with her head on Lex's chest and they were both naked. Amber woke up first and got dressed before Lex. Lex was sleeping heavily and snoring a bit. Amber had to poke him quite hard to get him to wake up. "Finally. Get dressed; we need to get back to our house." Amber said as she kept poking Lex so he would get up. He did get up after a few minutes of poking. He got dressed and gathered all the stuff they had scattered around themselves. It took them about ten minutes to get back to the house. When they got there they went up into the room that had been Amber's but now it was hers and Lex's.

Slade woke up by the sound of a door slamming shut. He looked around and saw Brady sitting on his bed. She had snuck out of hers and Trudy's room and walked to Slade's.

"Brady what are you doing in here?" Slade asked looking down at her.

"Hungry, mummy sleeping." Brady said looking up at Slade who was now sitting on the bed. He lifted Brady up, who was in a pink night gown, and walked down to the kitchen with her. "If you sit down and sit still." Slade said as he sat Brady down on a chair. He then went to the cupboard and put some cereals in a bowl, he poured some milk over it and took a spoon and gave it to Brady.

Trudy was starting to wake up. When she was awake to a hundred percent, she put on her dressing gown that was in a purple color. Under it she had her night gown which was in a darker color then the morning gown. She noticed that Brady wasn't in the room, she figured that Brady had gone and woken someone up. Trudy went down to the kitchen and found Brady eating next to Slade who was eating a toast and drinking a cup of hot chocolate.

"Morning Trudy." Slade said as Trudy smiled and sat down next to him.

"Morning mummy." Brady said with food in her mouth.

"Morning hunnie and Slade." Trudy answered smiling. Trudy was about to get up but Slade stopped her by placing his hand on her shoulder as he got up himself. "I'll make you breakfast. What do you want?" he asked.

"I want a cup of hot chocolate and a toast please" Trudy said as she looked at Brady who had almost finished her breakfast.

"Sure thing." Slade answered as he prepared a cup of chocolate and toasts.

Amber was snuggling in Lex's arms and she rested her head on his chest. Amber was awake but Lex was asleep and snoring. Amber looked up at Lex and moved her hand back and forth over his chest. It didn't really make him wake up which Amber had hoped. She crawled up to his head and whispered in his ear. "Lex" He just kept sleeping. Amber was disappointed and said his name over and over again but he didn't respond. As a last result she shouted his own name in his ear. It made him yank up and looked around.

"What did you do that for?"

"Because the sun is up and we should get downstairs and join the others, and show off my ring" Amber said smiling to Lex who had almost fallen to sleep again. Amber hit him on the chest with her palm and the fingers leaving a red mark of a hand on his chest. It made him wake up for real this time. "And now you have to stay awake" Amber said with an angry glare with her arms crossed over her chest.
