Authors note- Thanks for all the reviews. I really do appreciate them.
David's POV
After Ruthie left with Martin everyone decided to go into the living room. Momma told us to go to bed so we went upstairs, but when we heard everyone talking we felt left out so we decided to go downstairs and listen to what everyone was saying.
"This reminds me of my first date with you Kevin" Lucy smiled
"This isn't a date Lucy it's a friendly outing" Kevin said laughing and holding up his hands in quotation marks around the word Friendly outing.
"awww It's just so sweet " Lucy said
"I just really hope they talk things out tonight" dad said
"I love Martin and I know he would be good to Ruthie" mom smiled
"I could already see their wedding and Ruthie coming up the altar" Lucy smiled
"Actually maybe I should go and check on them" Kevin looked at Erik
"No Kevin" Lucy looked sternly at Kevin
"No I really should because we never know how Martin is I mean he did get one girl pregnant" Kevin looked worried now "Actually what makes all you think that Ruthie and Martin will not have sex"
"Kevin" Lucy spit out with a mad look
"Im just saying they're two young adults and you all know how it's like to be at that age" Kevin looked around at everyone
"We will just have to trust Ruthie and know that she knows right from wrong." Erik said looking unconvinced
"Erik I know what your thinking and I know my Ruthie she would never do that before she got married" Annie said looking at Lucy for back up
"I don't know mom I mean you have seen the recent changed in Ruthie, and Martin certainly wouldn't object" Kevin looked at Annie
"OH MY GOD Kevin your so just blind firstly Martin really likes Ruthie as we all could see! Secondly I think he would respect her decision, and thirdly Martin knows not to take it to far." Lucy screamed at Kevin
"Calm down Lucy"Annie patted her back
"No I wont calm down Kevin over here is making it seem like Ruthie is going to come back here pregnant" She looked at Kevin and crossed her arm
"No Im not Luc, It's just that I don't know if I can trust Martin as much as I am supposed to" Kevin looked at Lucy
"Well he does seem to have change" Erik looked at Annie
"He did call you and ask a way to get Sandy to sleep with him" Annie finally seemed convinced
"MOM!" Lucy looked at Annie
"But he did, didn't he?"Annie looked at Lucy with confidence
"Yes he did" Lucy looked down
"And well he didn't say no to Sandy when they first had sex" Kevin pointed out "And what makes us think he is going to say No when Ruthie starts taking things in her own hands?" Kevin looked at Lucy
"Maybe we should go down there?" Kevin looked at Erik
"Annie?" Erik looked at Annie for approval
"Yes go down there but be discreet because every time you two snoop around you always get caught" Annie smiled
"Ok Hon, I will be back in a few" Erik kissed her cheek
"I have no part in this" Lucy said looking at Kevin
"Ok honey sure you dont" Kevin looked at Lucy and kissed her forehead
"I dont" Lucy gave her pout face Kevin laughed as he put on his jacket and gave Lucy one more kiss on her forehead.
Erik walked out with Kevin and they looked at each other "Here we go again" they laughed
Inside the house Annie and Lucy are still sitting down "Momma I really think that Ruthie is going to get mad at them" Lucy looked worried.
"That's why she won't find out." Annie looked at Lucy
"But don't you Trust Martin, wasn't it you telling us what a nice young man he is?"
"Yes I like Martin he is a fine young man and someone that I want to see Ruthie end up with"
"Then why don't you trust him"
"I do honey it's just more complicated then that"
"Then make it uncomplicated"
"Look Lucy Ruthie had been crushing on Martin for like two years and Martin well I knew that he started to like Ruthie but just didn't do anything because he knew that she was too little and he was too mature"
"Actually mom if you think about it Ruthie was a lot more mature then than she is now"
"let me finish, well when you put together a young vulnerable girl with a young man that the girl considers being the best thing in the world you never know what's going to happen"
"That's right and she wanted to be with T-bone so what was I thinking when I said she wouldn't want to be with Martin"
"Well see now you don't seem so convinced that Martin is that perfect picture of innocence no more do you"
"No"
"Don't you remember how you and Kevin were when you two first started dated"
Lucy looked down at her feet "Yes I do, I think I should just go home right now mom"
Annie nodded her head and Lucy went outside. Instead of going inside her house she reached her car door and pulled out some keys. She opened the door and headed off in the direction of the promenade.
We were at the bedroom window looking at Lucy when she left. "Where do you think she's going?" I said
"I don't know! Maybe to spy on Ruthie just like Kevin and daddy's doing?" Sam looked at me
"I think she is"
"Why don't they like Martin"
"I don't know he is fun and cool"
"I know and Ruthie likes him" we both laughed
"She really likes him" I said
"I hope she marries him"
"Me too" We both looked out the window again and looked at each other This is going to be a weird night I thought to myself
Authors Note-Sooorry the chapter was so sucky. I was trying to hurry up with it.
I will make the next chapter longer and try and make it more realistic. As the chapters go on it will get more excited. I have already thought up some stuff.
Next Chapter--Ruthie and Martins "friendly outing." How will it go? Is Ruthie and Martin dating? You will see in the next chapter.
