Haha okay so here is another chapter I have no idea I think this may be the last chapter haha so yeah enjoy xD
At 5, Ruthie got up to take a shower and to get ready to see Martin. She got out and decided to wear black jeans with a black tank top and a kimono like cover with a nice design on the left side. She left her hair in its natural curls and put on a couple of strap 2 inch casual heels. She added a little bit of mascara, blue eye shadow and lip gloss. Once she was done, it was 5:45. She went downstairs to find her mom in the kitchen.
"You look all dressed up. I'm guessing you've made your choice." Annie said looking at her daughter.
Ruthie hugged her mom. "I have nothing to lose." Ruthie replied as she was heading for the door. "I'll be back soon mom."
Before Ruthie left her mom called for her. She turned around. Annie's eyes were glistening. "Good luck honey." Annie said. Ruthie smiled and nodded as she walked out. 'She's grown up so much..' Annie thought as she watched her youngest daughter disappear behind the closed door.
Ruthie walked to the Promenade getting more and more nervous every step of the way. 'Oh my god. Am I doing the right thing? Maybe this is a mistake. Should I turn back? But I should at least hear him out.' Ruthie was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she didn't even notice she was already at the Promenade.
Once Ruthie looked up, she saw Martin sitting on the bench waiting patiently. She took a deep breath as she looked at him. He was wearing a pair of ripped jeans and sneakers, a usual blue button up shirt with a beater under and a jacket over it. 'Why does he have to look so hot?' Ruthie asked herself as she approached him.
Martin was looking at his hands as he heard someone walking towards him. "Hi." He looked up at the person who just spoke to him. He smiled as he saw it was Ruthie. 'She looks stunning.' He thought.
"Hi." He replied happier than ever. "I'm glad you decided to come." Ruthie gave him a faint smile as she sat herself down. They sat there for a while, Martin trying to think of how to start as Ruthie waited patiently. When he was about to say something, he heard a lot of noise in the background and realized this wasn't a good place for them to talk.
"You want to go to the park so we could talk better?" Martin asked her as he stood up holding out his hand. He was actually going to take her there later but since he couldn't talk to her here he may as well take her there now. Ruthie looked up and nodded but didn't take his hand. Instead she walked past it and started for the park. Martin sighed and put his hand down as he followed. 'This is going to be a looong talk..' he thought to himself.
Once they got to the park, Ruthie was surprised to find it was pretty empty. Just one or two people here and there. Ruthie made herself comfortable on the bench as he followed and did the same. They sat there for a while until Ruthie couldn't take it anymore.
"Martin, you called me out here. What did you want to say?" Ruthie said but didn't make eye contact or even look at him. 'I'll let him explain even though Zoey already talked to me.' she thought as she waited.
Martin sighed as he was about to start. "Ruthie, I know you had a misunderstanding about me and Zoey. But we're not together anymore. You need to know that she already has another boyfriend. We're just friends. I don't love her. I've always loved you. Please Ruthie, I need you in my life. You mean more to me than anything in the world. You've always been my best friend, my diary, my adviser, my everything. I don't want to let you go. And I wont" Martin said as he turned her towards him.
"I love you Ruthie Camden. And that will never change as long as I live. You are the love of my life and I will never live with myself if I know that you will be mad at me. It doesn't matter to me if you don't want to be with me as long as you will please still be my best friend as you always have." Martin said looking into her eyes.
Ruthie was speechless. She looked into his eyes and saw sincerity and love. She knew he meant every word and that was all she wanted. She felt loved. Tears started to form in her eyes and she opened her mouth to speak. "I love you too Martin Brewer." She said with a faint smile on her face as tears came down her cheeks.
Martin smiled. "I was hoping you would say that." He said as he leaned in and gently placed his lips on hers. She kissed him back as she put her arms around his neck. He slowly moved his hands down and picked up a stereo from under the bench and placed it behind him. Ruthie was too distracted to notice as he ran his finger to the button where he remembered was play. He slowly moved his hands to her waist and deepened the kiss as the song 'Stick with you' started playing. Surprised by the music, Ruthie pulled back and looked at him. Martin smiled as he stood up.
He held out his hand as he said to her. "May I have this dance?" Ruthie smiled as she took his hand and rose from her seat.
They started dancing to the song, their bodies close and looking into each other's eyes. Ruthie smiled as she put her head on his chest and Martin put his chin on her head. They stayed like that for a moment until Martin heard Ruthie's faint voice. "I can't believe I have you." Ruthie said softly.
Martin smiled. "You not only have me, you have my heart also.." Martin said as Ruthie smiled. "Literally." He added which caused her to pulled away and give him a confused look.
"Huh?" Ruthie said tilting her head to look at him. He laughed as he looked at her.
"I told you I would show you that I love you didn't I?" Martin asked as he reached into his pocket. Ruthie was still confused until she saw a velvet box. She looked up at him with wide eyes.
He opened the box to reveal a heart shaped locket necklace with the letters 'I 3 u' (upright heart) on the front and inside it was a picture of them and on the back said M&R. Ruthie looked at it as tears started to form again. Martin smiled as he lifted it from the box.
"This way, you'll know my heart will always belong to you and that I'll always love you." Martin said as he put it around her neck.
She didn't know what to say. She just did the first thing that came to mind. Once he was done putting it on, she pulled him in for a huge kiss. Martin, caught off guard but gladly accepted. They danced for a while longer until it was late.
"I think I better get you home." Martin said as he still held her waist firmly. Ruthie nodded. He took his hands off her waist and took his jacket off to put on Ruthie. Ruthie smiled and thanked him and once Ruthie finished slipping it on, he took her hand and started walking her home. They walked in silence but enjoyed every moment of it.
Once they got to the backyard, Martin pulled Ruthie back to him and looked into her eyes. "I love you and thank you for giving me a chance." He said to her as he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. She smiled and said "I love you too, and thank you for wanting a chance." She gave him a light kiss and was about to walk away when he pulled her back into a kiss. She had no objections and deepened it.
Ruthie reluctantly pulled away, "I should go," She said as she smiled at him. He pouted but knew she was right.
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow." Martin said as he let her go. She nodded and said good night. As she walked to the door, she looked back and waved one more time before she went inside.
Once he saw her go in, he smiled to himself as he went to his garage apartment. 'I finally have the love of my life.' He thought smiling to himself.
Ruthie was leaning against the door when she closed it. 'I finally have the love of my life.' She thought to herself and went upstairs to her bedroom.
They both fell on their bed and closed their eyes, happy to have each other and couldn't want to see their lives together.
