When Mary woke up she was lying in her bed in her room. She looked outside
and realized that it was still light.
Did I just sleep until the next morning? She asked herself.
It was hard for her to remember what happened. She looked at her hand and saw Ben's engagement ring on her wedding finger.
Oh yeah, she thought happily. Ben and I are getting married!!
As she was busily going through a mental list of wedding preparations, she suddenly thought of Robbie.
Oh my god!! Robbie asked me to marry him!! I must have passed out, because I never answered him!! I know that I still love Robbie. But I love Ben!! What am I going to do?? I should ask Lucy.
Mary sat up carefully and noticed that Lucy's bed was empty.
It must be really late because everyone is already up!
As she threw her feet over the side of the bed, she expected them to land on the soft cream-colored carpet. But instead, they landed on a person! She looked down to see Ben sleeping on the floor beside her bed. He was still dressed in the clothes that he surprised her in, and his head was turned in an awkward position that would probably produce a cramp. He stirred only slightly when Mary first put her feet on him. She decided not to wake him and to go out the other side.
When she flung her legs around to the opposite side of the bed, once again they landed on a person.
This time it's Robbie,
Sure enough, when she looked over, there was Robbie, sleeping only in a pair of black nylon shorts. She almost fainted again when she saw Robbie and his tight, tan chest.
Oh, my god!! He is soooo hot!! But I have to remember that I love Ben! Im engaged!!
Just thinking about the decision that she would have to make made her burst into tears. Moments later, Ben awoke from the sound of her crying. Immediately he jumped up and onto the bed and enveloped her into a passionate hug.
"Shhhhhhhh." He said. " Its okay, baby. I'm here, there's nothing to worry about. Shhhhhhh, I love you, sweetheart."
::Sniff Sniff:: " I love you too, Ben. Oh god, what am I going to do??"
"What are you going to do about what??"
Oh my god!! Robbie didn't tell anyone that he proposed!!! What am I going to tell him?
" Oh, im just so overwhelmed with thinking about the wedding, I don't know how I am going to get it all done," she lied.
"Ok, sweetie. But right now you need to rest. You fainted last night before we got to tell your parents that we were engaged. Your family went to church, but Robbie and I stayed here with you."
Robbie awoke at the sound of his name. He sat up sleepily and rubbed the sleep out of his sparkling blue eyes. Mary couldn't even stand to look at him. But he said good morning to her and out of courtesy she turned and said hello. She watched as he stood up to stretch and watched the ripples of his abs move back and forth from the exertion. Ben must have noticed that she had not said anything for a while and turned her around and looked deep into her eyes.
Oh my god, he has the most beautiful eyes. And his smile, god, it just makes me melt on the inside. No wonder she had fallen for him. Now she was sure that she had to say yes to Ben.
"Baby?? Mary?? Are you ok sweetheart?"
"Hmmm…?? Oh, yeah, im fine, im just thinking about something."
"Ok, well, im going to go downstairs and make you and Robbie breakfast. When you are ready, he can help you down the stairs, ok?"
"All right, sweetie, I can't wait to taste your cooking!!" Mary said with a giggle.
After Ben had left the room, Robbie came up and sat beside her on the bed. Mary tensed at the touch of his thigh, but then quickly relaxed after remembering how good his touch felt.
"Mary, we really need to talk. You know that last night before you fainted I asked you to marry me. Im pretty sure that your answer is no, because you seem totally in love with Ben. But I know you, Mary. I know that deep down inside your heart you still love me with as much passion as you did before. You just never wanted to let go of that passion. As for me, no matter what your decision is, just remember that I will always love you. I mean always. There will never be anyone for me but you. Even if you do decide to marry Ben, I will wait for you, for as long as it takes. I love you, Mary Camden."
At that moment, neither Robbie or Mary could resist their desire any longer. Robbie leaned in for a small kiss on the cheek, but Mary moved just enough so that their lips met. Both of them started out timidly, but then Mary realized that what she was doing was too much. She was pushing him away when Ben walked in.
"How do you guys want your eggs and………."
"OH MY GOD!! MARY?? WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"
Ben looked at Mary with a look of genuine hurt. Then he turned on one heel and walked away. She heard him slam the kitchen door on his way out.
"BEN!!! No!! " She screamed!! " It's really not what you think!! We're just friends!!"
But it was too late. She heard Ben's 1964 red Camaro roar to life in the driveway and then heard it screech down the street. Robbie looked at her and put a comforting hand on her thigh. But Mary shoved it off.
"Oh my god!!" she wailed. " What have I done??"
