Martin and Ruthie POV
Lyrics by Ever life and Jessica Simpson
Martin and Ruthie arrived home the next morning. The week had been a successful visit and almost like a second honey moon for them. Everyone had met to discuss Simon's wishes about Bree and Aaron taking repsonsibility. They all realized that the twins would most likely chose Aaron and Bree, in order not to leave their school and friends.
"Well his car is here and the house is still in tact" Martin responded as Ruthie smiled and said "We weren't worried that he would throw a party. Aaron is responsible"
"Except when it comes to Bree" Martin stated as Ruthie smiled "He's in love. You weren't always responsible yourself"
"Really? Name one time I was totally irresponsible with you?" Martin challenged as Ruthie approached him smiling "I recall when we made out on the kitchen counter and you gave me a hickey even though my boyfriend was in the other room"
Martin flushed slightly before defending himself "I couldn't help it. Something happens to me when I touch you. Even now after all these years" he finished softly as he pulled Ruthie towards him and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
Ruthie responded by kissing him back as he lifted her onto the kitchen counter never breaking their kiss, slowly pulling her shirt off her.
"Hey good…whoa" Aaron said as he looked at his parents who apparently hadn't heard him or had decided to ignore him.
"Aaron did you hear mom? Oh my gosh…Mom?" Bree stated as she looked on and said "remind me never to leave bread on that counter again"
"Remind me never to eat at that counter again. Okay, so we get the twins and take them out for breakfast deal?" Aaron said as Ruthie's shirt hit him in the face.
"Let's go now" Bree stated forcefully and pulled on his hand as they walked out the kitchen.
"We are so wrong" Ruthie moaned slightly before kissing Martin on the chin.
"We own this house, so technically we aren't wrong and they didn't really see anything"
"Did you hear Bree's voice? She sounded so cute" Ruthie giggled as Martin growled slightly "Okay enough talk about the kids…they finally left so how about we finish what we started"
"Are you serious?" Ruthie asked him as she looked into his green eyes "As a heart attack"
Ruthie laughed once and said "What the heck" before kissing him once more.
Aaron POV
Later that evening I was at the Palladium trying to find Lisa and Larissa who had run off with some of their friends from school. As I passed one table I heard "Aaron! Where are you sitting?" It was Charley. Meredith was sipping a diet coke and looking around.
"I'm sitting up front with my parents and Pablo and the twins" I finally said as I spotted Todd sitting with some of his friends.
"Where's Mindy? I asked Charley as I pointed Todd out and he shrugged.
Meredith jumped in "He broke up with her. For some reason he thinks he still has a chance with Brianna. I believe it is because she isn't wearing your ring or something to that affect"
Charley snorted slightly and said "Dude say the word and I'll make sure he never looks at Bree again. I thought for sure he would get a clue when Bree came in sporting a hickey last week"
I flushed slightly embarrassed that Charley had noticed that.
Bree had freaked out when she realized that I had 'marked' her and because of that incident I spent the entire day at the spa with her to make amends. It was actually nice but I pretended not to enjoy it in case she wanted to make it a permanent activity to do with me.
I looked over at Todd as he waved at me cockily before saying something to his friends. A few minutes later my dad walked up to me.
"Hi Mr. Brewer" Meredith said smiling brightly as my dad looked over at her and Charley "Hello Meredith, Charley. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing well. How about yourself?" Meredith asked as she batted her lashes and my dad replied "I'm fine Meredith but you may want to go to the Ladies room to make sure something isn't in your eyes."
I hid back a smile before I asked "Did you have a good morning dad?"
"After you left we did" my dad replied before saying "Bree is looking for you. I'll meet you at our table"
As my dad left Meredith dreamily looked at him and said "Your dad is so hot!" as Charley said "Hello! Your boyfriend is right here…" I left as they started to fight.
Backstage Bree was pacing and warming up. I took a minute to study her.
She was wearing jeans and a fitted pink shirt and her hair was out and slightly wavy. Her heart shaped lips were glossy as she turned to look over at me.
"Dad said you were looking for me?"
"I was" she replied as I stepped over to her and took her hands looking in her beautiful hazel green eyes.
"Are you nervous?" I finally asked
"A little, not too much"
"Good. You are going to be wonderful"
"Thanks" she replied smiling as I gave her a hug and my gaze went to her glossy heart shaped lips. When I let her go she sighed and said "kiss me now before we get interrupted"
I smiled at the slightly desperate plea in her tone before I lowered my head and kissed her on the lips. She moved closer to me as I wrapped my arms around her back and kissed her more fiercely than before as she returned the kiss with the same fire.
We pulled apart slightly winded as I took a step away from Bree and she watched me through half-lidded lashes. There was something about this kiss, something she was trying to relay to me. It was differently different from our other kisses that we usually had.
"Ten minutes Bree" my mom stated as she walked in to see us disheveled and breathless. "Sharon I need you to touch up Bree's makeup. Aaron I'll see you at our table"
"I'll meet you here after your last song" I finally said before kissing her one last time and following my mom out.
Martin and Ruthie POV
Martin watched as Aaron walked out from the side stage and a girl approached him. The girl was probably two years older than him as she handed him a slip of paper.
He smiled when he saw his son give her a smirk before mentioning something and handing the slip of paper back to her and walked towards the table.
"Part of your fan club?" he asked Aaron who sat down, his hazel blue eyes sparkling. "I guess so. I think she got the point when I told her I wasn't interested"
"You know speaking of fan clubs; I thought Todd was dating someone else?"
"He was until this morning apparently. I guess he really likes Brianna" Aaron stated as Martin looked at his son closely. He didn't seem agitated or concerned. Perhaps they were back together? No Bree would have told him. Perhaps that was what she was trying to do this morning?
Bree then came out as she greeted the crowd and some younger girls including Lisa and Larissa came to the stage.
A dozen roses arrive
What a perfect surprise
You greet me with a kiss
I could get used to this
You think I look the best
When my hair is a mess
I can't believe you exist
I could get used to this
Because you know you're too good to be true
I must have done something good to meet you
'Cause you wrote my name across your hand
When I freak you understand
There is not a thing you miss
And I could get used to this
I'm feeling it comin' over me
With you it all comes naturally
Lost the reflex to resist
And I could get used to this
You love the songs I write
You like the movies I like
There must be some kind of twist
I could get used to this
Because you listen to me when I'm depressed
It doesn't seem to make you like me less
'Cause you wrote my name across your hand
When I freak you understand
There is not a thing you miss
And I could get used to this
I'm feeling it comin' over me
With you it all comes naturally
Lost the reflex to resist
And I could get used to this
Martin turned his attention to Aaron who was staring at Bree in awe. He smiled as Ruthie finally came over to sit with them.
"They love her." She said smiling happily before adding "They just signed her"
"They did? Honey that's great!" Martin exclaimed as Ruthie nodded, her hazel eyes sparkling as she took a sip of water and said "Now I can get out of my contract and manage her and Aaron. They want him as well"
"Well that works out right?" Martin inquired as he smiled at Lisa and Larissa, who were dancing around up front.
"They are announcing their decision tonight" Ruthie said as Martin nodded before asking "What about us? Are we announcing it as well?"
"I guess we should. I don't want to keep it a secret from Bree and Aaron any longer"
If there's a dark side to you I haven't seen it
Every good thing you do feels like you mean it
You wrote my name across your hand
When I freak you understand
There is not a thing you miss
And I could get used to this
Feeling it comin' over me
Aaron POV
I turned my attention to my parents who were kissing one another. I rolled my eyes before turning to look around at everyone. They were always hands on but lately it was getting out of control.
Every time we couldn't find them, they were alone in some room making out or worse. In fact the only other time they were like this was when my mom was pregnant with Amanda.
Maybe my mom was pregnant! I looked at my parents carefully as I tried to discern if they were hiding something. My dad had his arm around my mom's chair, but he always did that. My mom was smiling and excited but that was probably because of Bree.
Bree's concert was pretty successful as she played a variety of songs that people danced to. She was obviously made to be on stage because she was so good at it. After a ten minute interval, Bree returned on stage.
She had a white dress on that complimented her beautiful chocolate skin and her hair was down. She was wearing the diamond necklace her dad had given her and tiny diamond studs were in her ears. The lights went down as a spotlight went on her
You set my soul at ease
Chased darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it to
I know you do
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew.
I'm gonna love you forever
My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And I'd give up all I have just to be with you
and that would do
I've always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fall
Be at the mercy of a man
I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are.
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew.
I'm gonna love you forever
In my life I've learned that heaven never waits no
Lets take this now before it's gone like yesterday
Cuz when I'm with you there's nowhere else
That I would ever wanna be no
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me ... I'm gonna love
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew.
I'm gonna love you forever
As she ended the final note people were clapping and standing up. Bree brushed a lock of hair from her cheek.
There was a bright reflection of something that was on her left hand. I immediately jumped up as I rushed back stage. Ten minutes later Bree was there as we stared at one another. I felt tears rush to my eyes as she smiled and asked "I guess you saw?"
I nodded as I stepped closer to her and she did the same.
"So" I finally said as I took a deep breath to calm my beating heart.
"So, I think it's time that Glen Oak's 'it' couple reunite, don't you?" she asked beaming brightly up at me before I picked her up and swung her around in a circle.
When I finally placed her back on the ground, she stood on her tiptoes and softly said "I love you Aaron"
"I love you too" I repeated softly as she wiped a few tears from my eyes and I gently kissed her on the lips. I couldn't believe it, we were back together.
