We last left Martin and Ruthie 7 years after the awful prom night. They reunited and got together. Finally. Anyway, they've been dating for about 7 months. So here it goes.

Today had been the last day of school and Ruthie walked out of her classroom and headed to the baseball field where she knew she would find Martin. Ever since he'd come and explained everything they'd been together. He'd moved into a small 2 bedroom house shortly after he came back, and while she had her own apartment, she spent a lot of time there. She was almost the baseball field and stopped to watch Martin while he was hitting some baseballs. She knew he missed playing in the majors, but she also knew that he was happy that he coached his team to be the district championships. She had thought about these last seven months and how happy she was. She remembered how funny it was when he found out about her being a romance novelist in her spare time.

Flashback

Martin was in Ruthie's apartment waiting for her to finish getting ready for their date tonight. He looked over at her bookshelf and saw several books. She had the entire collection of Shakespeare, plays and sonnets. With that she had complete works of Jane Austen as well. He kept scanning the shelves when he saw books by the author he secretly read. He picked one up and looked at it. He didn't think that one had come out yet.

Ruthie walked into her living room and saw Martin looking at one of her novels. She giggled and thought that now was as good a time as any to tell him she wrote them. She walked up to him and noticed she had startled him.

"Hey babe." He said giving her a quick kiss.

"Hey. So, I see you're looking at my book."

"Yeah. One of my girlfriends read her books and…"

"And what?"

"Well I started reading them." He looked a little embarrassed as he confessed. And Ruthie couldn't help but laugh. He looked a little hurt.

"No Martin I'm not laughing at you. I think it's incredibly sexy. It's just that I write those."

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah. I wanted the extra money and just started. Before I knew it they were making decent money and I was writing more."

Martin was standing there shell shocked at what she had just told him.

"Better close that mouth babe, you'll catch flies."

"Do you realize how incredibly hot you are right now?" He finally asked.

"Forget dinner. We're staying in." Before she could respond Martin threw her over his shoulder and carried her into the bedroom.

End of flashback

She smiled at the memory and at what they spent all night doing. It made her blush a little remembering it, but she was happy with the way things were going with Martin. Suddenly Martin turned around and spotted her. He gave her one of those famous smiles of his. He collected the balls he'd been hitting and dumped them in the bucket. Picking up the bucket and holding the bat he jogged over to her and planted a light kiss on her lips. Even though it was just a light kiss, she still felt sparks.

"Hey babe. How was the last day of class?" He asked her.

"It was good, and how was yours?"

"Eh, it was ok. I missed getting my lunch fix today though." He said with a wicked smile on his face.

"Well school's over now and we can order in and get a night fix."

Martin frowned at that.

"Sorry hun, but I have plans with Mac tonight."

Ruthie had to admit that she was a little disappointed, but she was fine and happy that he was going to spend time with Mac.

"That's fine. I'll just call Lisa and we can have a girls' night."

"I'm sure she'd like that. I think it'll be nice." He planted a kiss on her forehead and continued.

"I have to go home and take a shower, but tomorrow we're going out. Pick out a nice dress and I'll pick you up at 7."

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow. Love you."

"I love you too." And he gave her a parting kiss before he ran to put the equipment away and head home.

Ruthie pulled her phone out on her way to her car and dialed Lisa's number. It rang twice before she picked up.

"Hello."

"Lisa, hey it's Ruthie. I was wondering since the boys are going out tonight if you wanted to do a girls' night. Ya know, chick flicks, pizza and gossip."

"Ooooh sounds good. What time do you want me to come over?"

"How about 5:30?"

"Sounds good to me."

"K' I'll see ya then."

A/N: Ok, so I know it's kinda short, but it's something. And in case you don't remember, Lisa is Ruthie's old friend from school and went to prom with Mac and is now engaged to Mac.
