Spinelli turned around slowly, tightly gripping Gretchen's hand. When she saw who she was facing, she almost died with shock.
"Mr. Dudikoff?" she asked, confused as to why her ex teacher would be calling her cell phone. "Wait, how did you, why, I'm confused." Spinelli babbled, her mind trying to make sense of what was going on.
Mr. Dudikoff grinned. "Well, I heard your speech on the plane---I am visiting my mother---but anyway, I just wanted to let you know how wonderful it was that you finally told TJ how you felt." He gave her a serious look. "If someone did that for me, I would put my life on hold for them."
"Yeah, well, I'm not that lucky. It was nice seeing you, Mr. Dudikoff, but I really need to get going before my ass gets arrested. I must have broken about fifteen laws between getting here and making that speech." Spinelli laughed bitterly. "Have a safe trip." After shaking his hand, she walked toward the exit, with Gretchen close behind her. She was almost out the door when she heard someone calling her name.
"Spinelli! Come back!" she heard. Turning around, she walked over to the person calling her, although she had no idea who it was. Her dark eyes were brimming with tears, knowing her life was over.
"Oh, my God," she whispered when she finally realized what was going on.
There in the middle of the airport stood TJ, carrying a single red rose that he had purchased from a nearby vendor. Next to him was Mr. Dudikoff, who was holding a voice distortion device, smiling at the couple he had been shipping for since he began teaching twelve years ago.
"Spinelli, what was that up there? Why didn't you tell-----" TJ began, but was cut off by Spinelli's angry voice.
"What do you mean, I broke no less than fifteen laws, make a fool out of myself on a plane, lied, stole and probably failed an important class to tell you I love you and all you can say is....." she was interrupted by TJ as his gently kissed her, not caring who saw or what anyone thought about it.
"I love you too, Spinelli, I loved you since I met you eighteen years ago on the playground. I just had no idea you felt the same, so I kept my mouth shut. Once I heard your little speech, well I knew the time had come to tell you." He smiled as he turned to Mr. Dudikoff. "Luckily, I happened to be sitting next to the king of pranks and he helped me get you to stay here. Your stubbornness almost ruined things, but I knew if we told you to come back you would." He handed her the rose and pulled her in for another kiss, this time the entire terminal erupting into loud, thunderous applause. A few people were even wiping away tears over the beautiful scene taking place before them.
"Teej, this is wonderful, but what about California? I can't let you give up on your dreams. That wouldn't be right." Spinelli said still hugging him tightly, as if she thought he was going to run away.
"Well, congratulations, you two, but I need to catch my plane," Mr. Dudikoff interrupted. He shook both their hands and wished them luck as he ran off to catch the plane.
The rest of the terminal watched in awe as they waited for TJ's answer.
"Spinelli, I figured it out. I am going to leave tomorrow night. You can move in with me in three months, after graduation, we can live in my new apartment and start our new life together. I will get you a ticket when the time comes, There is no way I am letting you go this time." He looked at her with his sweet, puppy dog eyes, hoping she would accept his offer.
"It's good Teej, but I don't know how I am going to survive these next three months without you." Spinelli said, trying to hide the disappointment that he was leaving.
"Maybe this will change your mind, or at least make you feel as if a part of me is with you until we are reunited." TJ reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box that contained a gift he had gotten her the month before. He was planning to give her on a special occasion, preferably after they were dating, but after the events of that day, he knew the time was right. Slowly and nervously, TJ got down on one knee in front of the woman he loved and drew in a deep breath. "Spinelli, I have known you since I was four years old, and my life has been wonderful ever since. You have been there every step of the way, and you are unselfishly letting me live my dream. All our lives, you have been my support, my breath of fresh air, the one I am hoping to spend the rest of my life with. Ashley Fermachello Spinelli, will you marry me?" he asked, hoping he didn't scare her by asking too soon. He hadn't even planned on it, but he knew in his heart it was the right time.
"Oh, my gosh, TJ, yes, yes, yes, I will marry you! I love you." Spinelli let TJ slip the ring on her finger and pulled him to his feet and into a deep passionate kiss that led for the terminal to once again burst out in a round of thunderous applause.
"That was so beautiful," they heard Gretchen whisper as she slowly disappeared out of sight, along with the others that were watching.
"So, one more night in the apartment?" Spinelli asked, putting her arms around her new fiancé. "Maybe Mr. Roper will be away."
TJ looked at Spinelli with a sly and suggestive look. "Let's not risk it. There is a hotel down the street that I think will serve our needs better."
Spinelli smiled. "You naughty boy,' she laughed as she kissed him again. The two walked out of the airport hand in hand, ready to spend their first-and last-- special night together before their lives took on a new journey
