Chapter 9: The truth is revealed

"T-Bone, what a surprise, what are you doing here?" Annie asked.

He didn't respond, instead he gave Martin THE Look.

"What are you doing here?" T-Bone demanded Martin.

"I live across the street, and I come here all the time." Martin.

"You don't love her." T-Bone stated to him.

"What, I love Ruthie, and who are you to say I don't. "

"Any man who has a child with another woman cannot love another woman."

"Aaron is not mine; he is Simons so just shut up."

"The fact is that you thought he was yours and you slept with Sandy. You wouldn't have done that if you really loved her. "

"That was a mistake." Martin said. "And why are saying this to me, you are the one who left Ruthie so why are you back?"

T-Bone opened his mouth but nothing came out. "I have to go now," Martin said, "I'll be back at around seven thirty with Mac for dinner. Bye." Martin said and walked out the door.

Dinner

"Mac, hello." Ruthie said to him. He pulled her into a passionate kiss. Martin gazed enviously at the two. Ruthie kissed back just to make Martin jealous.

"Mac, how are you?" Eric asked as he gave him a quick hug.

"I'm doing just fine Reverend Camden." He said as they all sat down for dinner. "So how's every one been doing for the past few months?" He eyed Martin.

"Nothing much, I really missed you." Ruthie said eyeing Martin.

"Well, I have just been really bored hanging around here, I think I am going to go back to Arizona." Martin said, Ruthie looked up from her plate and glanced wide eyed at Martin. Martin looked down and ate his dinner. He droned out the rest of the conversation at dinner. After dinner Mac and Ruthie went to the living room to watch a movie. Annie and Eric went to put Sam and David to bed. Lucy and Kevin went home with Savanna and Scott. Martin went home to pack his things.

Martin finished packing his things and sat on his bed.

"So do you want to tell me what happened?" Martin's dad came walking in. Martin looked at him.

"Ruthie found out about the bet."

"I told you she would"

"I know, I was not supposed to fall back in love with her, but I guess that old feelings never fade."

Martin's dad was silent. "Old feeling never fade." He heard a female voice. He looked up to see Ruthie. She walked over to Martin and sat down next to him on the bed.

"I'll just be going now" Martin's dad said as he walked out of the room.

"Martin, why did you do that?"

"Ruthie, you know I have always loved you." Ruthie looked down. "I just agreed to the bet so I could get the money."

"Why?" Ruthie asked. Martin pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and showed Ruthie the photo of the ring.

"Martin…" Ruthie was crying again.

"Do you just keep crying all the time? I do something sweet, you cry, I do something mean, you cry, it's and all cry situation huh?"

"Shut up, and kiss me" Martin kissed Ruthie.

"Ruthie what's going on here?" Ruthie and Martin broke apart to see Mac standing in the doorway.
