Chapter 6

Jerrica hurried home and was waiting. She was very nervous. She knew that he had read the note, but was he going to show up? She hated waiting around like this. Just sitting alone with nothing but her thoughts. The foster girls were all asleep and the three Holograms were out, by Jerrica's request.

She was about to give up when she heard a knock at the door. She knew it had to be Rio, and she was right.

"Jem gave me your note," Rio said quietly," and I agree, we do need to talk."

"Why don't we have a seat?" Jerrica said letting him in.

They sat there quietly for a few moments until Rio broke the awkward silence. "Jerrica, I wasn't sure what you wanted to say to me, but maybe I should apologize, I was a little too harsh with you," Rio said Looking in to Jerrica's beautiful eyes.

"No," Jerrica said, "I'm the one who should apologize, you were right, I did act too busy for you, maybe that's why you went to Jem so often."

"Jerrica–"

"I wouldn't be surprised if you hated me for everything I put you through."

"I could never hate you," Rio said, "I really didn't mean what I said. I think it was probably my nerves doing the talking."

Jerrica started wondering why he would have been so nervous, t hen she remembered the conversation that he and Jem had. "Rio, I love you, but I don't want to see you get hurt."

"The only that ever hurts me is to fight with you, and be without you. I just learned that the hard way."

"There is just something I need to tell you," Jerrica said looking at the ground then at Rio. "I feel so bad for not telling you before, I just don't want you to be upset."

"You can tell me anything."

"I am Jem."

He was speechless for a second, the started laughing, "Good one, Jerrica."

"I'm serious," she said touching her earring, "Showtime, Synergy."

Rio just stared for a moment.

"Rio, please say something."

"I don't know what I can say, you know how I feel about people who lie."

"Rio, I can explain," Jerrica, who was now Jem tried to say.

"No need to," he said as he walked out.

That night Jerrica laid in bed and couldn't get to sleep. She knew that wasn't going to happen. She also knew that she should have told him sooner. She put on her robe and walked down the stairs to the kitchen, then she heard a knock on the door. She looked at the clock and noticed that it was 2:00 am. 'Who in their right mind would be knocking at people's doors at two in the morning?' she thought.

She cautiously went to the door and opened it. "Rio!" she exclaimed.

"May I come in?"

"Of course."

"They made their way to the same place they were earlier.

"Jerrica," he said," I'm sorry for just walking out like that."

"I understand, it was a shock. I know I should have told you sooner, and I did try, numerous times–"

"Shhh," he said placing two fingers on her lips. "I've done some thinking too." He got down on one kneww and got out the little box that he had in his pocket for two days. "This may not be the way you imagined this, but here goes nothing. Jerrcia Benton, I love you with

all my heart, will you marry me?"

Jerrica looked at him in shock, after all of this he still wanted to marry her. She smiled and looked him in his yes and said "Yes, Rio Pacheco, noting would make me happier."

Then they kissed each other with more passion than ever before.
