Chapter 13: A Strong Committment

Through out the next month, Speed and Trixie were together non-stop and this confirmed to each of them that they were beyond just content with each other. Now without a doubt they both knew that they belonged together, which left no reason for them to hide their feelings for the other.

One up coming weekend afternoon Trixie received quite a surprise while at the track with Speed. The homing robot was on its way back to the Mach 5 when the young racer said to her, "Trixie. Catch it."

"I got it!" she exclaimed just before grabbing it out of the sky when it neared where she and Speed were standing about five feet away from the Mach 5. As she looked closer at the robot now in her hands, she saw a little box attached to it.

"Open it," Speed said with a handsome smile.

Trixie stared at it for a few seconds more before meeting Speed's eyes with her own. After smiling back at him, she began opening it. She was absolutely stunned when she saw a beautiful diamond ring, and at first wondered if she was seeing things. Upon catching her breath, she raised her eyes off the ring and to Speed's again.

"Trixie," he said very seriously. "I can't help but do this since I don't want to live without you. I am sure that this is the right thing to do." Then suddenly he was down on one knee looking up at her. "Will you marry me?"

Only a few seconds passed before a teary eyed Trixie gave her answer. "Yes!" she cried out very excitedly, and before he could even get up, she was down on her knees hugging him.

The young racer was so very pleased with her answer that he had to laugh when they almost fell over.

That night while sitting on the Mach 5 and glancing up at the stars, the newly engaged couple were already discussing some wedding ideas. But sounding a little down, Speed said, "I hate the thought of setting a date for the wedding."

"What do you mean?" Trixie asked puzzled. For a second she feared they would be engaged for years before they actually got married.

Having something totally different in mind, Speed complained, "I don't wanna wait six months to a year to marry you. And...the press is going to drive us crazy once they find out."

"Well...lets just run off and get married and not tell anyone," Trixie said jokingly.

"Yeah," Speed said calmly. But then after a good few seconds, he stood up and said very seriously, "Yeah. Let's do that! We can elope and then tell everyone we're married when we're ready. It would be exciting."

Trixie looked at his happy, wide-eyed expression for a few seconds and realized that he was very serious. Then being daring like him, she said, "Let's do it."

Speed then pulled her off the car and into his arms and said, "I love you."

"You better," she said smiling.

Sounding cornier than ever, Speed said, "To prove it, one night very soon, we'll...we'll...disappear. Yeah...we'll disappear...into the night."

He sounded so goofy as if reading from a script, that Trixie had to laugh. "Disappear into the night?" she asked with a strange smile.

"Yes," he said back with a wink. "When we elope, it might not be right disappearing on the family, or we could say sneaking away, but it will be our decision."

After a sweet kiss, they jumped into the Mach 5 and took off. When Speed put the radio on, an old up beat song began to play named "Steal Away". Because it was a pretty good one, they both knew it. And though neither could sing well, they sang it together. "Why don't we steal...away...into the night." For the next part in the chorus that was, I know it ain't right. Speed instead sang, "Pops said it ain't right." Trixie burst out laughing, and then she too sang the line that way through out the rest of the song.

When the song was over, Speed turned the radio off and said, "You know it's meant to be. I just said we'll disappear into the night and when I put the radio on, the words 'why don't we steal away into the night' come on."

"The song had just started too," Trixie said with a laugh while agreeing with him. It was meant to be.

The next day when Speed arrived at Trixie's apartment, he couldn't wait to get her into the Mach 5. When they were finally both in the car, he started it but didn't do anything but start to play with the radio. "Listen," he said looking at Trixie with a big smile on his face. The song, "Steal Away," began to play.

"You bought it?" she asked pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah," Speed said proudly. "It took me a long time to find it."

"I can't believe you went looking for it," she said really surprised but finding humor in his little obsession with the song.

"You know what I'm going to do with it?" he asked as if he had an evil plan in mind.

"What?" she asked not having a clue.

"While Pops and Sparky are working hard in the garage on an engine, they are going to hear that song blasting over the Mach 5's speakers every time we pull up and every time we pull off to leave."

"Why?" Trixie asked about to laugh because it sounded so crazy.

"Because…uh, I don't know," Speed said laughing himself. "No. Because it will be like a clue that we're eloping."

"I don't know if they'll think we're eloping, but I know that song's going to drive them crazy."

"I know," Speed said making evil eyes at her.

The two were high on life for now.

A week later no one knew, or even had a clue, of what Speed and Trixie were up to since the two had been very secretive and all smiles. It was moving day for the engaged couple. They decided to live in Speed's apartment since it was bigger and because Trixie had been renting a furnished apartment. Since none of the funiture was hers, all they would have to move were her clothes and a few other little things. There would be no moving truck needed, only some more fun in the Mach 5.

Now with piles of clothes in the fast car, Trixie hoped none would fly out of it since the trunk couldn't fit anymore. It was the first time she begged Speed to drive slowly and he joked that he didn't know how. She insisted that if he didn't slow down all her clothes would be all over the street, and then she'd have none. He joked that that would be more than alright with him but to please her, he slowed down.

Luckily it didn't take long to get to Speed's apartment, and he had already thrown out a bunch of his old clothes to fit hers. When they finished carrying all of her outfits and some of her others things in and then put them away, they collapsed on the bed. They were each on their backs until Speed rolled onto his side and put his arm around her to pull her onto her side to look at him. "Just think," he said softly. "The next time we're on this bed together, we'll be husband and wife."

"I know," she said somewhat shyly, forgetting how carried away she could get during their kisses.

"Are you nervous?" he whispered since Trixie had never been with a man that way before.

Smiling, she whispered back, "If it was anybody else but you, I would be."

Placing his hand gently on the side of her face, he leaned in closer to her and as their eyes closed, their lips touched for a kiss. Speed had only planned a short but sweet one, but it tended to go on much, much longer. Finally forcing himself to stop, he sat up and said, "We better get off this bed or we're going to be doing things backwards today."

Trixie quickly caught on so she sat up as well. They didn't wait this long to be with each other to just blow it hours before they got married.

Later on that day the newly engaged couple left the Racer's garage blasting their song, "Steal Away". They then headed for their destination not knowing just how much that song had started to get on everyone's nerves.

The day couldn't have been more beautiful as they drove a couple of hours away to the beach. Speed had made all of the arrangements for them to stay in a small, nice house right on the beach. The people who owned the little house were Sparky's Aunt and Uncle. Speed had only met them one time, but they had hit it off. The couple had offered the little house to Speed anytime he wanted it, however Speed never thought he'd actually take them up on their offer. Now a few days ago, he called Sparky's relatives because the beach house just seemed perfect as he remembered the little chapel near by. Sparky's Aunt and Uncle swore they would not tell anyone - not even Sparky. Luckily they didn't talk to Sparky that often so it wouldn't be that hard to keep the secret.

When Speed and Trixie finally got to the little house, Sparky's Aunt May and Uncle Jack were there to greet them and give them the keys. They told the young couple to feel at home, and they also let them know that the priest would be waiting for them in the little chapel at 7:00 PM sharp.

"They are very nice," Trixie said watching them drive off in their jeep.

"Yeah. I really like Sparky's Aunt and Uncle," Speed said taking the suitcases out of the trunk.

"What?" Trixie asked surprised. "They're Sparky's Aunt and Uncle?"

"Yes," Speed said knowing what she was thinking. "Don't worry. They promised me already that they won't say anything to him."

"So Sparky won't be here when we get back tonight?" Trixie joked taking the last suitcase out of the trunk.

"Not if he wants to live," Speed said walking into the house.

Trixie laughed as she too walked inside.

After she was in and put the suitcase down, Speed said, "Do you like it?"

Trixie looked around the comfy, little house. It had bright colors, big sofas and pillows, a fireplace, and lots of windows with a beautiful view of the beach. "I love it," she said truly meaning it.

"You love it?" Speed asked glad he did well as he walked over to his fiancée and put his hands around her waist.

"Well...not as much as I love you," she said making eyes at him.

With that, he kissed her softly and then taking her hand, he said, "Come see the rest." He then brought her into the other half of the house where there were two bedrooms and two nice size bathrooms that they would each need to get ready in later.

"Which bedroom is ours?"

"This one," Speed said pulling her into it.

Trixie knew why this room was the one. The bed was huge with a white, silk comforter and big fluffy, white pillows with silk coverings. Unlit candles were everywhere. "It's beautiful," she said in awe.

Speed smiled at her for a few of seconds, pleased that he was making her happy, then said, "Let's unpack."

Three hours later, Trixie was touching up her make up in the 1st bathroom, which was attached to the master bedroom. She backed up to look at herself to see the beautiful long, strapless, white dress in the long mirror. She couldn't believe that she would soon be a married woman. When she walked out into the living room, she saw the back of Speed as he stood infront of a window. While he was staring out at the water, Trixie took notice of his nicely fit, black suit. "You're not having second thoughts, are you?" she softly asked making him turn around.

Speed's eyes fell onto his beautiful bride to see that her hair was up and her green eyes were gleaming. He then said very seriously, "You are beautiful." Walking over to her, he took her hands and added, "To answer your question, I've never felt more right about anything before in my life."

"I know the feeling," she said giving him that smile he loved.

Surprising Trixie as she glanced out the window, a limo suddenly pulled up. It was there to bring them to the chapel. "You didn't."

"I did," Speed said gently pulling her to the door so that they could leave.

The ceremony in the chapel was simply beautiful and the only people who attended were Aunt May and Uncle Jack. During their vows, Speed and Trixie looked into each other's eyes knowing that the other truly meant what was being said. And saying 'I do' was said without hesitation by both. Then after the ceremony, the limo brought them to a spot on the beach where Speed had arranged some soft lights and music. The new married couple took off their shoes to walk through the sand, and nothing could ever seem more romantic to the bride. She was swept away as they danced close together to the love songs played and touched to find out that Speed had picked each one out. Aunt May and Uncle Jack couldn't be seen but they were there in the background making a video, and taking some pictures to give to the young couple as a present.

After their dances, Speed and Trixie walked hand in hand through the sand back to the house. After unlocking the door, Speed carefully picked Trixie up to carry her over the thresh hold. Once they were inside, he kicked the door closed and then smiled just before giving his wife a sweet kiss.

Still in his arms, Trixie said, "I can't believe we're married."

"Yes we are, Mrs. Speed Racer," he said just before gently placing her down on the ground, and then he pulled her up against him to press his lips to hers again.

It took Trixie just about all of her might to pull away from the passion that had already started between them, but she managed to and said, "I have a surprise for you."

"Umm, really," Speed said as his blue eyes lit up with desire, having a pretty good idea of what it might be.

Now with a few feet between them, she said, "Meet me in the bedroom in about...ten minutes."

"Oh, I'll be there," Speed assured her as he watched her disappear out of the room.

While Trixie was in the bathroom slipping into something special for Speed, he was soon only wearing the bottoms to a blue PJ set while lighting all the candles around the room. He then pulled down the comforter to the bed to find more silk sheets.

When his bride came out of the bathroom, he saw that she was wearing a white, satin nightgown that just barely covered her. Very slowly, he walked over to her not hiding his admiring eyes at all.

Trixie couldn't help but blush before she looked down, but when Speed was standing right in front of her, he gently lifted her chin so that their eyes could meet. As blue eyes stared down deep into green, he simply whispered, "Beautiful."

Trixie smiled and thought that she couldn't believe that this night was finally here.

"You know, Trixie," Speed said in the softest voice she had ever heard him use before. "Even if I wasn't going to be your first, I would still love you. But I just want you to know that it means a lot that you waited...for me."

"I had to be in love," she whispered back, remembering the time when she confessed to him that her husband would be her first.

Giving her a soft smile, he shook his head slowly as if he couldn't believe that someone could love him as much as she did, and he said, "I don't know if I really deserve you, but I love you."

"Oh, Speed. I love you too," she said and then he very tenderly picked her up and carried her to the bed.

Much later after the loving, and holding each other in their arms for a very long time while their hearts calmed down, they were lying on their sides looking at each other. Smiling at her husband, Trixie said, "Speed. I'm so glad that you have always been such a gentleman with me, but I must admit that tonight it was nice that we...didn't have to stop. That we could finally be together."

Knowing just what she meant, he said, "I'll admit that stopping was getting harder and harder to do."

Trixie smiled back so grateful for him.

Speed had been a very tender lover to Trixie and did not rush things, especially since he wanted each of them to remember every second. Their kisses had been beyond passionate, and hands touched where they had never before, causing each other to experience such a pleasure. For a good while no words were needed as their bodies said it all. And when Speed knew Trixie felt that pain that was expected, he made sure to tell her how much he loved her and in time pleased her as she did him.

Now still on their sides looking at each other, Trixie blushed and smiled when Speed whispered in a husky voice as his hand traveled over her curvy side, "I love your body."

After finally thinking of something to say to that, she said, "Good because I'm yours."

Loving her answer, he smiled back and said, "You made me yours too...just by looking at me. I mean I can actually...feel how much you love me when you're looking at me like this."

Seeing that his beautiful eyes couldn't seem to break away from hers, she said, "I know what you mean. I see it in your eyes too."

"Yeah. It's strong," Speed said of his feelings for her.

The next morning Trixie awoke with her back against Speed's chest. Slowly she turned around to find that he was already awake.

Softly he said, "Good morning."

"Good morning," she whispered back as they snuggled closer together. Trixie knew that she'd have no problem getting used to being in Speed's arms this way. After a good amount of time, she lifted her head and said, "I think I should take a shower."

Thinking that it sounded like a good idea for himself as well, Speed said, "Let's do that."

"Together?" she asked still sounding innocent.

"We are married," Speed said smiling as he sat up pulling on her hand.

Trixie began to look around as if looking for her robe.

"You shouldn't be shy with me now. I already know every inch of you," he said pulling her by her hand out of the bed and to the bathroom.

The next two days couldn't have been more perfect. The couple spent their time together snuggling on the sofa in the living room when they weren't in the bedroom, and also snuggling under a blanket on the front porch. They also had fun cooking for each other since they never left the house to eat out. Their time at the beach house had been beautiful, exciting and peaceful all at the same time.

Author's note: 1st. - The song "Steal Away" does not belong to me and is by Robbie Dupree. I highly recommend it. 2nd. - Now...will Speed and Trixie give Pops a heart attack when they tell him that they're married?-lol!
