Bradin woke up the following morning with Kaitlin at his side. He looked around and saw that they were in the tree house. He looked back at Kaitlin and moved so that his head was at the same level as hers. He moved her hair out of her face and placed it behind her ear. His mind wandered back to the previous night. He smiled. His smile grew when he saw Kaitlin's eyes open.

"Good morning," she said with a yawn.

"Morning," he said. He moved on top of her and began to kiss her.

"Comfy?" she asked.

"More than you know it," he said as he continued to kiss her. Just as they began to deepen the kiss, Kaitlin pulled away and looked at her watch.

"Shit," she said sitting up.

"What?"

"I have to go. I have a meeting with my racing coach."

"Stay," he whined trying to pull her back down.

"I can't," she said looking down at him, "Come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Oh Katie Baby," he whined wrapping his arms around her.

"Please, Brae?" she asked pouting.

He sighed. "Fine. But next time, no matter how beautiful or gorgeous you are, I'm not letting you go that easy."

"Beautiful? Gorgeous?" she asked with a laugh, "You are crazy."

"Why?" he asked, "Because I speak the truth?"

"I really have to go," she said. She gave him a quick kiss and said, "I love you."

"I love you, too, baby," he said as he watched her climb down the ladder. He laid back down and sighed. He looked at the spot where Kaitlin was laying before she left. He placed his hand there and knew that Kaitlin was the one.

KAITLIN

"Next week!" Kaitlin yelled, "I can't leave next week!"

"You have to," her coach said.

"But, you told me that I can stay here for a few weeks," she said.

"The races have been changed."

"Shit!" Kaitlin yelled sitting back on the couch.

"Kait," her mother said, "language."

"Fuck off," she said getting up, "I can't believe this."

"Kaitlin, you chose to race again," her father said.

"Yeah I know. And I wish I didn't," she mumbled. "Can't change my mind now," she said.

Night approached fast and Kaitlin had to do paperwork for racing before dinner. She sat in her room at her desk trying to finish as fast as she could. The work was getting too frustrating for her and she placed her forehead on the desk as she sighed.

"You're too tense," someone said placing their hands on her shoulders. She knew that it was Bradin.

"We need to talk," she said standing up.

Oh god no, he thought. "Okay," he said.

She took his hands into hers and looked into his eyes. "I leave Wednesday," she told him, "for Spain."

"I thought you had a few more weeks," he said, "You just got back and settled here."

"I know," she said, "But, the races were moved up a few weeks. I don't even have much time to practice. And that's good because I can come home early."

"I want you to do your best," he said, "Don't lose on purpose."

"Do you still want to do this with me?"

"I want to wake up at your side every day. I want to marry you. I want to have your babies. I want to spend every day with you. I want to be buried beside you. I want to be yours forever and for always."

"You could have just said yes," she told him with a laugh.

"I don't care," he said, "I wanted you to know how I really felt."

"I already do, though," she told him.

She placed her head against his chest as she wrapped her arms around him. "I could spend forever like this," he told her as he placed his arms around her.

"So could I," she said moving so that her chin was on his chest and she was looking at him. They kissed. "Come on," she said taking his hand, "Dinner's almost ready."

As the two walked down the stairs, Kaitlin saw her younger sister open the front door. Kaitlin's eyes widened when she saw…
