I do not love anyone else but Ruthie. Ruthie Camden is the love of my life. The one I want to see first thing in the morning. So what if I think about marrying her, big deal. The one thing I do know is that I, Martin Brewer am in love with Ruthie Camden. Ever since I moved in here, The Camden's always treated me as one of their own. Sometimes, it feels weird. People are like, isn't it weird living in the same house as your girlfriend? I do not think it is weird. I think it is great. Whenever we need to talk, we can just go down the hall and talk instead of going on the phone or waiting for the next day. However, life is funny. If my aunt did not leave for New York for her job, I would not have gotten this close to Ruthie than I am right now. Heck, would I even be her boyfriend. Faithfully, I am glad this happened. I know my mom is looking down at us every second at my dad, Ruthie and I. I know that my mother would have loved Ruthie. Even if she did not die, my mom would have approved. I know she would, everyone loves her, she is smart, intelligent, and everything else that you cannot find in just any girl out there. Ruthie, she is one of a kind.
Months started to fly by in a blink of an eye. It is now December. I do not believe this week I am going to ask Lucy to be my wife. I am excited, I bet Jessica is too. Just knowing that I will be married to Lucy and having a family and everything makes life seems right. Lucy Kinkirk cannot get that future name of Lucy's out of my head. Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, and the name I always think about. Thursday is in two days, the day I get down on one knee and finally ask the words I have wanted to ask for a long time. Jessica wants me to marry her mom, I asked her and I know she would want me to. Being part of the Camden family will be a real treat. Knowing how great they are makes me wonder why I was put with Lucy.
"Mom, what should I get Lucy and Kevin for Christmas?" I yelled to my mother. "Something they both like. Maybe something for a restaurant, the store, you can buy them, perfume or clothes, something like that." Annie said in a reasonable answer.
Thursday came; I got ready and waiting for Lucy to come down stairs. Each time the clock moved, my heart kept filling with joy, more and more joy each second. I do not know why. Then, Lucy walks down the stairs, she looks stunning and beautiful. I hand her the roses. "Aw Kevin, thanks. Where are you taking me tonight?" I smiled. "Just wait and see. It'll knock your socks off." "I am not wearing socks." I laughed. "Then it will knock off what ever you are wearing then."
When we get there, she looks at smiles and me. "Hey everyone, what are you all doing here?" "It's just a new family celebration." Then I see Kevin get down on one knee, I gasp. "Lucy Camden, since the day you walked into my life you made me see a different outcome to life. Now, I am going to make a new start to life. Lucy will you marry me?" "Yes." Then I slid the ring on her finger and kissed her. "Mommy, are you and Kevin getting married?" "Yes we are." "You're my new daddy."
Later that night, Kevin, Jessica and I go home. I smile and laugh. I am happy, filling with hope and pride inside of my body. This is flowing all around. I could not ask for anything better. Kevin and I are getting married, married in April. Wow, does life have many surprises we do not know.
I look at Ruthie; I look at her in the eyes. Each time I see her she astounds me. Ruthie, I love her very much. I know you may not know it Ruthie, but I do. More than you would ever think. You are everything to me. My life surrounds you. I know you love me too, you tell me that all the time and I tell you how much I love you too. One day in our future, I know I will have you. Have you as a wife and the mother of my children. My mother would love that. I know my mom would have loved you because I love you. Knowing that you are in my life makes life worth living. As much as I love you, I could not have grieved with life more than since the day I have met you. Ruthie Camden is the woman who makes my life fills. No matter what or how it seems you are the one I want in my future. Let us make sure it stays like that. I always think those words in my head repeatedly day after day, minute after minute. "Ruthie, I really love you. I know that you love me too, and thanks for always being there for me." Ruthie smiled. "Don't worry; I will always be there for you when you need me. Everyone in this house loves you. I know I love you a lot. More than you can ever believe. You are the man of my dreams. You, Martin Brewer and the man I see marrying, having a family and growing old with. No matter how much you may think I do not like you, I do. More than you could ever as for. I think and think, day after day wondering what the reason for us to be together was. Yeah, it does seem crazy, but I ask my self that so many times a day."
Kevin is the world to me, nothing more but him do I love more. He is the man of my life. The man I see myself with. Now, I see myself at my wedding. Saying 'I do' to Kevin. Having more children, what if I get pregnant before I get married? That is one scary thought. I Know, I know, I should not think crazy, but it is true. Jessica is one child I will never forget. I thank god for everything I have and how my life is right now.
