Toni Isis- hi I got your e-mail. I'd like to explain why it was so quick. first off I'm sorry it was, I didn't want it to be, but there was no other way I could think of and I had to get it down before my parents found it or I'd be in BIG trouble if they found out what I was writing. I hope I didn't ruin it though. The whole story is going to be fast. It was one of my first writings ever and I found it in my closet and I figured I won't fix it up or nothing because that would take time I don't have. The sooner I get this down, the better; I don't want my parent's to kill me. If it's bad I'm sorry, but I have no other choice.

P.S. thanx for being so honest I never really get a person who tells me how to correct things. I've got respect for you, a lot of it too. As for the offer going so quick I figured if he wanted her bad he'd take her when she said so. LMAO: D

Eviefan-hi I'm not sure how you found out I was 15, but yes I am and I wrote this back when I was 11. I'd like to thank you for your advise you and toni isis are really helping me out here I wasn't really up for changing it, but since you guys insisted I did. Thanks for your suggestions, you'll find a few of them in the last chapter and I hope the story is better if not let me know what I have to change and I'll see what I can do. Thanx. Bye-the-bye it's hard to earn this, especially if you know me personally, but you also have my respect.

Here's

CHAPTER #3: LET'S JUST KISS AND SAY GOOD-BYE

8 times they had made love in over the past 3 month's and every time it was magical. Rick and evy spent every moment together; although it had been 3 month's Rick never seemed to bring up the subject of marriage and evy was beginning to think he never would.

One morning when evy had woken up sick for the 7th time that week Jonathan had insisted on her go to the doctor's. Luckily it was the same day Rick had left the house early with no excuse so he never knew that his love was sick and this made evy feel better because she didn't want to worry him, and this made evy feel better, knowing that if Rick knew he would blow it all out of proportion and that was the last thing she needed.

When evy got home she saw that Rick was still not home and this gave her enough time to tell Jonathan everything and ask him what to do. Yeah, Jonathan sometimes acted really self centered and seemed that he never cared for his sister, but deep down he loved her and he would do anything for her in her time of need.

Once evy had told Jonathan everything she had completely broken down and was now crying in his arms.

"Oh, Jonathan what do I do? What if I tell him and he doesn't love me anymore?" her muffled voice came from his arm.

"Well there's always that, old mum, but what if you tell him and he does love you and he's willing to take responsibility?" Jonathan said believing, whether he liked it or not that Rick really did love his baby sister.

"Jon, I'm not sure if he even does love me." the awful thought was now in the open and be complete mistake, she silenced for a moment to hear what Jon had to say to this.

"He said he did, and he sure as hell proved it. Evy I think this man would do just about anything for you, including this." Yet again Jon was speaking the truth and not just to cheer his sister up, but because the man showed it.

"Jon he could have lied just to get into my pants."

"What makes you think that?" Jonathan said holding back a laugh and failing miserably. Evy pulled her head out of Jon's tear soaked arm and looked him in the eyes.

"Because if he really does love me, he would have asked me to marry him by now."

"Good point." He hated to admit it, but the girl did have a point, but what got him questioning was, why hadn't he asked her yet?

"Look, let's just leave, if we leave quickly maybe he'll never find out" she said hysterically

"And then what?"

"I'll deal with this on my own."

"Oh no you won't, I'm your brother and I'll always be there for you."

"Thank you."

At 7:00 that night Rick walked through the door to see neither evy nor Jonathan, figuring he was alone; Rick took the ring out of his pocket. Today was the day he was going to ask Evelyn Carnahan to marry him. He had no idea why he waited so long to do so, he loved her and he was positive she loved him.

He had spent the whole day practicing how he was going to do it and when he finally got it he walked home.

Rick put the ring back in his pocket and sat down on a nearby beige over stuffed chair to repeat everything in his head. As he was going over this again he realized two ticket's to London sitting on the table in front of him. They were to a boat that was leaving within the hour, he also noticed that half the house was stripped clean, and the only thing that remained was heavy furniture.

The next thing he saw was evy coming down the stairs rushing Jonathan. Tears stained her eyes and it looked as if she had aged by 20 years, but she still looked good.

"Evy, what's going on?" Rick asked confused.

"Jonathan and I are moving to London she said dryly, hiding back all emotions. "Bembridge Scholars want me to work at the British museum and they want me to start in one week, so we have to leave now." She was hiding something, and he hated it when she did that especially when he could help her through it, or at least try.

With every word Rick's heart sunk. She was leaving him and giving him a lame excuse as to her answer why.

"Evy I --" he started, but was stopped by her finger touching his lips and saying, "Shh… Rick, please. We both knew this wouldn't last, so let's just kiss and say good-bye."

Rick leaned in for a quick kiss as did evy; she pulled back quickly and walked off, picking up her cat, Cleo in the process. Rick followed her out the door then walked down the dark, cold streets of Cairo with nowhere to go.

He turned and said good-bye to the woman he loved. She merely watched him leave, got into the car crying and left.

Let me know what you think. I may not continue so please let me now if I should. I love hearing from your guys.
