Brock swallowed hard, astonished by the view. It took all the strength he had not to touch her.

"Reba wait" Brock picked up his shirt and covered her.

"You don't want me?" Reba clinched his shirt that hung loosely on her shoulders together to conceal her top half. Her eyes started to water.

"Dear God, no! I want you, I need you, and I'm crazy about you! But please stop and hear me out first! I want to propose to you!"

"You would what?" Reba was shocked; she thought they were ready to break up.

"Reba, I love you, I want to be with you. I want to grow old with you. I don't care about anything else, I too have a fantasy dream, and it's to spend the rest of my life with you. Honey," Brock got down on one knee "Would you-" Reba pressed his lips with her fingers.

"What about your dream of becoming 'Dr. Hart'?"

"That's alright, I will get a job at the dental office, being an assistant, I won't be my own boss, but it's still great hours. Which reminds me" still on one knee, he got something out of his pocket: a beautiful diamond ring. "I worked all summer for this." Reba used her free hand to cover her mouth, tears rolling down her cheeks. "So what do you say? Reba Nell McKinney, would you please let me be that luckiest, happiest man on earth? Would you marry me?"

"Yes... YES!" he slid the ring on her finger and she forgot about not being decent, she threw herself at him. He rolled her on her back; Reba could feel the clean cut grass tickling her bare back. He kissed her with the kiss that always made her look forward to something even more wonderful. Their love shone when their eyes met. Tonight, would be their special night.

"Right here?" questioned Brock seeing determination in her eyes.

"Right now" Reba answered with her eyes twinkling, competing with the stars in the sky. Right in the golf course across from the pond that they started their love, where they shared their first kiss, on the 'outdoor carpet' that Reba always admired, with the stars as their wallpaper, and the moon was their witness, when the two lovers became one.

"I love you, Reba I love you so much!" Brock showered her with kisses.

"I love you too Brock, I promise, I would not be anyone else but yours." A woman would never forget her first time, Brock would never forget her first time either, because he was the one who made it happened. Right here in the country club!

"Sweetheart," Brock still continued to kiss her. "Never in my wildest dream I could believe that I would make love to you, in the middle of the golf course!" comment Brock planting a lustful kiss on her lips.

"Expect the unexpected," said Reba accepting his kiss with a fiery lip lock. "What time is it?" she was afraid that the lawn mower would arrive and find them naked on the field.

"It's almost two o'clock." Brock answered after checking his watch.

"We should go back." but she didn't want to be apart from him, not after the first time of making love, she wanted to hold him all night. Brock could see that in her eyes.

"Mike won't be back until later tomorrow" and with that, they got dressed and snuck in the east building using the back door that Lori-Ann had broken. No one had bothered to tell the building manager. They spent all night indulging their love for one another. Reba closed her eyes resting in his arms, Brock was staring at her with a satisfied grin, still couldn't believe it really happened. Reba glanced up seeing his grin and she blushed. She kissed him lovingly and cuddled with him. "Couldn't sleep?" he questioned watching her trying to get comfortable.

"Mmm Hmm..." Brock snuggled her closer and kissed her lightly on the top of her head. Brock softly sang her a lullaby.

"Midnight moonlight shining through the curtain lace
Paints a perfect picture on your perfect face
One sweet angel sleeping in my arms
You are the promise I knew God would keep
You are the gift that makes my world complete

And you'll never know how much I love you
But I'll keep on telling you my whole life through
Now I believe in miracles, and you're the reason why
So dream on while I sing you my angel's lullaby"

"That's so beautiful," commented Reba before drifting of in his arms. He may not be the best singer in the world, but his deep soothing voice made her feel warm and relax.

"So are you" Brock watched the angel in his arms sleep peacefully and not long before he too fell asleep.

Mike returned to his room at around nine in the morning, he arrived faster than he thought; he opened the door and found Reba sleeping in Brock's arms. Although, they were both under the covers, their clothes were on the floor. It didn't need a genius to figure out what happened, so he closed the door and left the room with a soft grin.

Reba started to stir when she felt she was being crushed. Brock held on to her so tight.

"Brock, honey, I can't breath." Brock opened his eyes, still wasn't sure if that was just a dream that he heard her voice waking him up.

"Good morning, honey." Brock greeted with a romantic kiss, roaming his hand all over her nude body, confirming that last night happened for real. He shifted a little to lay on his back, having Reba cuddle next to him. She rested her head on his chest.

"Watch where your hand lands, sweetheart. Or we might not get out of the bed." said Brock with a mischievous grin when Reba threw her arm across his middle to hug him. Reba seductively lifted her eyebrow.

"Aren't you hungry? We should have some breakfast" now she understood why her mom said a man need a lot of food to regain his energy after all night of spending it all.

"I am hungry, but it isn't food that I'm thinking about" and now she also understand when Brock said when something is bound to happen, the time of the day never an issue. And after last night, she also learned that the place is never an issue either. Reba played with her ring with Brock laying exhausted, holding her in his arms, and watching her.

"You went to Mexico to buy this ring?" questioned Reba

"Well... just the border." confessed Brock

"You mean someone smuggled this ring across the border?" Reba was shocked to learn how Brock got the ring. He wanted to get her a nice ring, but with the same amount of money, he got a better one from across the border. However, one thing Brock was so proud of, he bought this ring with the money he earned working in summer, he didn't touch his savings at all. "Well honey, with all the trouble you went through, I promise you, I'll never take it off my finger." stated Reba, kissing him with all her heart. It was almost noon when they both decided that they really needed something to eat. They heard a knock on the door, Brock quickly asked Reba to hide in the bathroom. He was surprised to find Mike at the other side of the door.

"You knock?" well if was his room too and he had a key, Brock wondered why he knocked.

"Reba's gone?" asked Mike, Brock jumped and Reba who was hiding in the washroom just turned pale and pink. Well that answered the question why Mike would knock on the door before entering.

"How did you...?"

"I came in here this morning when you both were asleep. I didn't see anything I swear, I left right away," stated Mike with a teasing grin. "But next time, please hang something on the doorknob!" Reba sighed before she stepped out of the bathroom. She was dressed.

"Hello Mike."

"Oh hi Reba."

"Would you wipe that stupid grin off your face?" she gritted turning extremely red.

"You're talking to me or to Brock?" Mike still continued to tease them.

"I'm going back to my room!" Reba announced getting ready to leave. Brock pulled her hand to stay.

"Mike, go find somewhere else to be for a few hours, would you? I want to spend some alone time with my fiancé."

"Fiancé? Wow, congratulations!" he gave Reba a friendly hug and shook Brock's hand. "I'm happy for you two."

"Thank you, but I really have to go back to my room." she needed to shower and get change. "I'll see you later. She kissed Brock lightly before leaving to her room. She had to tell Lori-Ann that they were getting married when she came back from the trip. Reba was glad she didn't go with them.

"I gotta hand it to you. You choose love over Liz?"

"Reba's the one. I just hope when my mom gets to know how wonderful Reba really is, she will come around." Brock could only hope.

"When are you getting married?"

"We'll wait until she graduated."

Brock brought his textbooks and joined her at the pond like always. It was their favorite place to study, or enjoy each other's company. It was where they shared their first kiss. But at the opposite side of the pond, they had another memory that they recently created, where they expressed their love for the first time.

"Hi honey." Brock sat next to her, Reba just blushed violently, especially when she saw his mischievous grin looking at the other side of the pond.

"Would you quit smiling?" she bashfully slapped his hand that wrapped behind her shoulder. Brock chuckled, pulling her closer showering her flushed cheek with his kisses. Gosh how he loved her.

"I think we should find another place to study, baby. My mind keeps wandering to the other side of the pond." Brock teased making her blush even more.

"Speaking of study, let's prepare for your finals, shall we?" Reba tried to change the subject.

"Nha, I don't have to worry about that anymore since I'm not going to continue at medical college. I'd rather focus on my other dream. You."

"No Brock, you will continue your education." Stated Reba firmly pressing her fingers on his lips, stopping him from kissing her at the moment. Reba did not agree with his plan.

"Honey, it's gonna take another four years to become a dentist, and the moment my mom finds out that I proposed to you, she will cut me off. And I can honestly tell you I don't have that kind of money to continue my education."

"If she won't pay for it, then I will!" Reba determined
