Chapter 8
"Again?" Roger asked.
"Yeah that's what I'm wondering... again!"
"Call Jaimie."
"What would I say?"
"I don't know, just ask her what she meant by again!" Roger said.
"True." Travis said picking up the phone. "Hey Jaimie. It's Travis, Roger and I were wondering what you meant by Greg asking Kendra to marry him again."
"Well he asked her to marry him last summer. But something happened and well Kendra never took the ring back. So he's going to ask her again. Then they'll get married like they chose to last summer and never got to." She answered.
"Ohh, ok then. Thanx for answering that for us. I got to go now bye."
"Um... ok. Your welcome. Bye." Jaimie said hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" Matt asked.
"Travis. Him and Roger were wondering why Greg was going to ask Kendra to marry him again!" She answered.
"Ohh wait how'd they know?" Matt asked.
"Um... because seeing as I can't tell Kendra I had to tell Travis. Also so he wouldn't get uptight around them. Don't ask why he would because it's a long story. And I don't really feel like telling it over and over again!" She said.
"Don't worry I wasn't going to ask." He said kissing her.
"I'm going to bed now. Good-night." Jaimie said.
"Hey Kendra." Greg said.
"Yeah?"
"What happened in the elevator?"
"Nothing besides for me waking up in his arms without you there." I answered.
"Oh I'm sorry I was talking to Matt and Jaimie about somethings."
"It's ok that's what Travis told me. Then when the elevator stopped I thought you would be waiting outside of it for me, but you weren't."
"Oh I'm sorry baby I was still talking to Jaimie til you bumped into me, because she had just gone into her room." He said coming up behind me and holding me.
"I know. You don't have to apologize to me hunny." I said putting my arms around his neck.
"I know but I feel bad now that you put it that way." He said kissing me.
"Why? You shouldn't be! I didn't mean it to make you feel bad." I said putting my forehead to his.
"No, no I know you didn't do it on purpose but still. I want us to stick together from now on!"
"Promise?" I asked.
"Yes. I promise and when we go to the race tomorrow with Jaimie and Matt. We won't go anywhere without each other." He said.
"Ok no offence but lets not go that far. Because I don't want to have ladies look at me funky when you walk into the bathroom with me!" I said laughing with my head on his shoulder.
"Haha. You're so funny." He said lifting my head and holding it in his hands.
"I'm going to bed now because we have to get up really early." I said steeping out of his grip, and walking into the bedroom.
"Now don't think you're getting away from me that fast." He said chasing me.
"Yes I do!" I said grabbing my clothes and running out of the bedroom and into the bathroom closing the door before he got there. Unfortunately I forgot to lock it. So he just barged in while I was changing. "Hey did I tell you, you could come in here?" I asked.
"Yes. You left the door unlocked." He said coming over to me.
"Yeah I know but I'm trying to get dressed." I answered.
"I can see that!" he said.
"Will you get out." I said laughing and pushing him out of the room.
"Hey." He said as I closed the door and this time locking it.
"Hey what?" I yelled.
"Hey I don't know." He replied.
"I'll be out in a minute." I sighed.
"Good!" he said walking back into the bedroom. About 3 minutes later I walked into the bedroom. "What took you so long?"
"I wanted you to wait." I said laughing.
"Ohh sure. You're so mean to me you know that."
"Yes I know. What happened if something important was going to happen where I couldn't wait any longer?" he asked.
"Then I think you would have come back and got me!" I said plopping down on the bed next to him.
"Yeah true." he said.
"So what's so important that you didn't come and get me?" I asked knowing that he had something on his mind.
"I don't know!" He said looking at his hand.
"Yeah you do." I said lying on his legs now looking up at him. "What's on you're mind?"
"Lots of stuff!" he said.
"You know I bet if there wasn't something very important on your mind right now you would have remembered to take you're shoes off, before getting into bed!" I said laughing.
"Oh shit." He said throwing me off his legs and taking his sandals off.
"So now tell me! What's on you're mind? Please you tell me everything." I pleaded.
"Yeah I know!" he said smirking.
"So tell me, please!" I asked facing him in his lap.
"I love you!" he said laughing.
"Ok is that what was on you're mind?" I asked. "Because I love you too!"
"No let me finish!" he said trying not to laugh.
"Ok but don't laugh." I said laughing at him.
"Ok. I won't." he said taking my hands. "Jeeze is it that important?"
"Yes just listen." He said putting his finger to my lips. "I've asked you this question before but something happened. So I'm going to ask you again." He said getting off the bed and down on one knee. "Will you marry me?" he asked.
"OMG. YES!" I shrieked jumping off the bed and into his lap.
"Really?"
"I said yes last time didn't I?" I asked.
"Yeah but still I didn't know if you had the same feeling..."
"Greg..." I interrupted him.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Was I still with you after it happened?"
"Yeah." He answered.
"Ok then." I said.
"And I'll always be there for you and with you only." He said kissing me.
"Ok and I'll always be with you and you only. But for now we have to go to sleep because I'm not going to get up in the morning if I don't go to sleep right now." I said.
"Ok!" He said getting in bed and holding me. "Good-nite baby."
"Good-nite hunny." I said turning around to face him. "I love you." I said kissing him.
"I love you too." He said kissing me back.
The next morning.
"Hey Kendra, it's time to get up sweetie. Come on we got to go." Greg said trying to wake me up.
"Go away it's to early to get up. Leave me alone." I yelled turning over.
"Come on sleepy head." He said pulling me out of bed. "If you want to go to the race you have to wake up and get us there."
"OMG the race." I said standing up straight and getting dressed. "Come on lets go!"
"Kendra!" Greg said. "Hair, make-up. You're actually not going to do that today?"
"Yeah I'll brush my hair on our way down to the car. Then I'll put my make-up on when we get there. Because trust me we're not going to want to get out of the car right away. We'll stay at the car for about an hour if not two." I said.
"Ok I'll go get Jaimie and Matt and meet you out by the car." He said.
"No I'll go with you!" I said grabbing his hand.
"Alright." He said kissing me. We walked over to Jaimie and Matt's door and knocked on it once and Jaimie was opening it.
"Ready to go?" she asked.
"Yeah are you?" I asked.
"Yeah we've been ready for the past hour!" Matt said.
"Really? Kendra just got out of bed."
"I can tell. Want a bigger brush?" Jaimie asked me.
"Huh? No I'm good." I answered.
"Hey nice ring." Matt said as I placed my brush into my left.
"Huh?" I said looking at my hand. "Oh thanx Matt."
"What'd you do forget?" Jaimie asked.
"Not exactly!" I said. "How can I forget about that?"
"I don't know how could you forget about it?" Greg asked.
"I can't!" I said kissing him.
"Yeah you could. If you were concentrating on how you were going to tell someone, maybe by the name... Travis." Jaimie said.
"Oh and you don't have to worry about that because Jaimie already told him!" Matt said. "Ouch!"
"He asked me last night. What was I supposed to say?"
"How did he know?"
"I told him the other day!"
"How did you know?"
"Greg told us." Matt said.
"What you thought I was going to keep it a secret from our best friends?" He asked me.
"Again?" Roger asked.
"Yeah that's what I'm wondering... again!"

The next morning.
