I walked through the familure door that lead to the Camden kitchen. It was late at night and I couldn't sleep finding out this new revelation with Ruthie was so effecting I mean it's not every day when you realize that your in love with a girl who was like your sister. I looked up and saw the refrigerator opened.
"Hello? Which Camden are you?" I whispered then I saw that beautiful face pop up I couldn't help but smile.
"Hey Martin. Couldn't sleep?" she whispered while looking at the stairs.
"Yea, you?" she bit her lip and shook her head.
"No I was craving chocolate." She said. She took out her mother's famous chocolate cake and cut to pieces. Then I got out two glasses of milk.
"So how come you couldn't sleep." She asked while take a huge bite of cake that made me chuckle. In the back of my mind I answered, "Because I love you and your all I can think about." But I didn't I so cleverly answered.
"I guess I'm just stressed out." She looked at me with sympathy in her eyes then raised her eyebrow, which usually meant she didn't buy it.
"Martin." So I told her something that sounded like the truth.
"Well there is this girl she is so beautiful, smart, she is actually a one of a kind and I think I love her." she smiled that 100 dollar Ruthie smile and tilted her head she got her plate and stood up then she came over and rested her hand on my shoulder.
"Sounds like your continents is trying to tell you something." She looked in my eyes as she spoke so sweetly that melted my heart I just love the sound of her voice.
"Like what?"
"That you should tell Ruthie who it is so you can get it off your chest." She said jokingly with a wink then she leaned in and looked straight in my eyes and said.
"Tell your love how you feel it's always necessary to take risks when it comes down to love because you never know when life is going to end and plus you don't want to stay home when your old, fat, and smelly, looking back and wondering what could have been. Now I suggest you get to sleep or you are going to be cranky and I don't want to put up with your crankiness in the morning so sweet dreams." She kissed my cheek and wobbled up the stairs trying not to make a sound and she left me in a daze . I herd the door shut upstairs and whispered.
"Goodnight Ruthie. I love you." Now why can't I say that to her face? I asked myself while going back to bed.
