Chapter 5:
I just saw "The Rat's Out of the Bag" okay um great episode and everything I mean the story was good and sweet and I liked having Matt back and I liked the whole you're a great friend or whatever but the sickening scene in the car I don't get it not at all was he just trying to make her feel better or is he really feeling that way? I mean they've only been dating for like a week and a half or so it seems I'm sorry I shall not get behind this! Okay back to reality: It took me a little longer to update this time because as a favor to a friend I had to repost and start writing more to another story. But here I am back again thanks for being such fabulous reviewers through and through here I go on with more of We Can Do What We Want, Can't We?

Martin and Ruthie got back to the Camden house after spending the rest of the afternoon with Mac and Chelsea. "You know, I really like Chelsea she's a truly nice and she actually seems to like Mac and they seem good for each other." Martin nodded and agreed. "Yeah, and he really, likes her. More then any girl in a while it seems."
"Plus, I got to tell her the story of how we came to be. The couple who has made it through basically every obstacle in their way it's a beautiful thing." Martin laughed at Ruthie as she gazed at something behind Martin's left ear in a reminiscent state. "Yeah, it is a beautiful thing sorry but can you stop looking behind me I feel like there's someone there."
But of course there actually was, though a person neither expected to see at least not this early. She snuck up behind Martin and screamed into his ear and then as he turned around went to hug Ruthie. "Ruthie, how have you been? It's so good to see you, and Martin wow look at you two all grown up." It was Mary who was saying all these kind words. Mary and Carlos remarried and she did settle down quite a bit but it seems even though she was happy she'd never stop being fully Mary.
"Mary, weren't you supposed to get here like tomorrow?" Ruthie asked in a questioning voice. "Well, I took an earlier flight you know my job does allow it Carlos and Charlie will be in tomorrow. I wanted to get home early and spend some time with you, but then I come home to realize that my sister is out with her boyfriend. So how have you two been?" Mary questioned.
"Um, we've been perfectly fine, how have you been?" Ruthie asked the strangely scary and upbeat so it seemed Mary. "Oh fine, Carlos and Charlie are fine. We've been excited for the youngest Camden girl graduation for awhile now." She laughed. "How have you been Martin, treating my little sister with respect I hope?" She laughed again then walked upstairs.
"Um, is it just me or did she seem weird?" Martin asked Ruthie. "She seemed completely weird, well she is spending a whole two weeks with her whole family that's enough to make anyone go crazy." Martin laughed. "So speaking of this whole two weeks with your family, how are you planning on spending it?" Martin asked her.
"Well, I was planning on spending it half with my family and half with my friends." Martin started nodding and then said "Hey!" Ruthie laughed. "But for you I'll make an exception and cut it into thirds. But it doesn't really matter because you'll be out with my friends and you'll be here with my family almost the whole time anyway right?" He nodded just as Sam and David came running down the stairs.
"Martin, Ruthie!" They said as they came down the stairs. "Martin, you want to go play ball with us?" The two loved having Martin home as he was like a big brother. They also knew that Ruthie was soon to be going away so it came as no surprise as the next question was- "Ruthie, do you want to come watch?" Sam said in glee. "Yeah come watch us play with Martin, you love watching us play with Martin!" Ruthie did love watching Martin play. "Yeah you always love watching your boyfriend play." David said in a clearly childish sarcasm.
Martin laughed. "Yeah, Ruthie we all know you love watching your boyfriend play. Or me in simpler terms lets go out to the park it'll be fun." He said in a childish voice. "Yeah, fine but do not think I'm holding your gloves when you two get tired." She said to the twins. "Mom, Dad me and Martin are going to take the twins to the park for a little while."
Simon came downstairs instead of her parent's "Mom and Dad are out. I don't remember where they went, I was supposed to baby-sit the boys." He stopped as "Sam and David shouted out "Hey were not babies!" but then continued, "But if you two want to take them out just drive there so you can get home faster before it gets dark then go ahead."
"Thanks, Bye Simon. Come on guys." Ruthie said leading the way out to Martin's car. Ruthie hopped into the passenger seat as Martin and the twins got into the driver and the back. "Okay ready guys?" Martin asked the boys and they nodded their heads vigorously.
They got to park in a matter of minutes and the boys and Martin started up a game of catch fast. Ruthie sat back on a bench and watched her boyfriend and her little brothers play. 'Well, I told him he'd be spending all the time I spend with my family with me.' She said as she watched him throw and underhanded pitch to David.
"Hey." Said some guy who pulled up the seat next to Ruthie. "Oh um hi." 'Ruthie said to the guy who looked to be about her age. 'What does he want?' Ruthie wanted to know, he was sitting relatively close to her and she wanted him to sort of go away but it was a free park. "So what's your name?" 'What's he getting at?' "Um, Ruthie." She didn't show any signs of wanting to start a conversation but he tried anyway. "Yeah my name is James. James Parker. We just moved here, around the block. Yeah well my family did I'll be going to school soon, you know college. What grade are you in?"
'Wow, okay he seems to just want to talk that's fine, no big deal Martin and the boys seem fine, okay I'll be nice.' "Oh um I'm going into college too." He looked at her "Yeah, you seemed about that old. So um what school?" She responded. "Oh um Glenoak University." He nodded his head. "Oh that's cool, cool really cool." 'His head looks like it's going to fall off.' Ruthie giggled to herself. "Yeah I'm going to the University of St. Jimmy. It should be cool."
"Oh that's nice. Yeah college it should be fun." He nodded and laughed at this what he must have taken to be joke. "Yeah well I should be going." Ruthie said to James. "Oh, really I was having a good time talking to you, maybe we can talk again?" Ruthie shook her head no. "Sorry I don't think that would really work." She told him. "Oh because of us going to different schools that's no big deal at all. We'd just be hanging out nothing permanent." He told her. "Oh no that's not it but my boyfriend well I don't think he'd like me 'hanging out' with a guy who seems to like me as more then a friend, no offense." She told him.
"Oh you have a boyfriend." He said in a defeated voice. "Yes and I'm very much in love with him so it'd probably be a waste trying to get me to like you." She told him. "Oh well who's your boyfriend?" She pointed at her little brothers and the boy playing with them. "See those three guys, well the two little ones are my little brothers and the tall one is my boyfriend Martin." She smiled at them all and turned back to James.
"Oh, so you like tall guys?" He asked her. 'Wow he doesn't seem to want to go away.' "No, I like Martin, it doesn't really matter that he's tall." He nodded then questioned her about him. "So is he nice or is the playing with your little brothers just an act? How old is he? Where did you meet him?" He continued to throw questions at her. "Whoa he is my boyfriend I don't really have to answer any of these questions do I? Well I'll tell you something about him I guess. Martin is the nicest guy I know and he loves me just as much as I love him and he's perfect and wonderful. He's two years the older then me and I've known him for years and I've been dating him for years. So I think you better just forget about me because I am totally off the market." She told him. "But beauty as fine as yours should never be just for one." Ruthie laughed long and hard. "Was that supposed to be some kind of pick up line because if it was it had to be the worst I've ever heard. Sorry, you're a nice guy but I'm not interested and I fully intend to be with Martin for a very long time so sorry I'm taken."
She told James all of this and he still looked doubtful of Ruthie. "What?" she asked him. "You just don't seem the type to want to be tied down." Ruthie laughed again who did this guy think he was she thought. "Um first of all you don't know me second of all I'm not 'tied down' I chose to be with Martin and I love him so forget about it." She told him to a still doubtful looking James.
She laughed as she saw her little brothers and Martin running towards her. Sam and David slid on the ground getting their pants filthy but making Martin laugh with glee. "Atta Boys, so Ruthie did you see how much these two have been playing, I am so happy to say that I taught them everything they know."
She reached up and kissed Martin strongly on the lips as he was still speaking. She held it for a little longer adding different degrees of tension to the kiss, she continued kissing him until she heard Sam and David start screaming. "Gross, yuck and Martin make her stop doing that. Ruthie your yucky." She finally stopped and said to Martin, "I love you." Martin looked at her with as much adoration as there was confusion, and said "I love you too."
"James this is my boyfriend Martin, Martin this is um James I met him a few minutes ago." They shook hands. "So you were definitely serious about the boyfriend thing?" He asked Ruthie after the introductions had been made. "I am definitely serious about the boyfriend thing." She said slipping her hand around his waist. "Okay then." James said "It was nice meeting you." He then left.
'Phew.' Ruthie thought to herself. "What was that all about?" Martin asked Ruthie. "Oh well if you must know your girlfriend is still quite popular with boys another guy seemed to like me but I told him all about you and how any girl would be lucky to have you and how you're perfect and how much I'm in love with you. The kiss kind of sealed the deal." She told him all in one breath.
"I'm glad to see you didn't thing that guy was 'sexy'." He laughed. "Ha, ha very funny. Though I don't think anyone could say anyone else is sexy when their around you. Or maybe that's just me. I don't know but have I told you lately how much I like you?"
"I think that kiss might have covered it." They kissed again. "Oh we are definitely telling Mommy and Daddy about this." Sam and David said aloud. "Alright we're coming we're coming." Ruthie told the boys as she got them both into the car. On the drive home Ruthie and Martin talked a little more. "So did he ask you out?" Martin asked Ruthie. "Sort of in the fake ask out way you know 'hang out'." She told him. "So has anyone else ever asked you out since you've been dating me?" She shook her head. "No, not really. I mean almost everyone knows how close we are. But he was new in town so….. I guess he thought he stood a chance." She laughed and then they got to the Camden house. Martin walked the boys and Ruthie to the front door. "Aren't you going to come in?" Ruthie asked him.
"Not tonight. I have to go home and see Dad. I'll be back tomorrow morning for Church." He kissed her and ran back to his car. Ruthie brought the boys back up to their rooms and left them to play with Simon and her after a tiring day laid herself down in her bed and tried to fall asleep.

Martin was down the block in front of his house talking on his cell phone in his car. "Mac, you'll never guess what just happened." He told Mac who he was speaking with. "Ruthie loves me." Mac on the other side of the phone started to laugh. "Um. Man yeah you knew that for sometime now."
"Yeah, but now I know for complete sure, some other guy asked her out so she completely turned him down and told him how much she loves me and why I'm perfect for her." Mac was laughing again. "Okay whatever you say Martin I think you're the only guy in the history of the universe to be happy that his girlfriend got asked out by some other guy."
"That's not the part that makes me happy the her telling him no way makes me happy. Mac don't you get it that means she won't turn me down when I ask her." Mac was nodding on the other side of the phone a smile playing on his lips. "So you're definitely going to do it?"
"I'm definitely going to do it." Martin responded.
