Chapter 10

The First Date

Ruthie

After Martin and I talked I felt a little bit more relaxed, although I'm still so nervous!

I finally decided to wear a light blue and armada striped shirt with a dark chocolate turtleneck, and my dark navy jeans. I also wore my black converse high tops. I wore my jeans jacket over my turtleneck; it can get really cold in Scotland in December, especially when it rains, like today! I also settled on only wearing clear, fruity lip gloss, also brown mascara and blue eye shadow. I added the Silver Star necklace Martin had given me for my 20th birthday.

I was putting my jacket on when I heard a knock the door. I walked over to the door and opened it.

Martin was standing there in black jeans, a long sleeved green shirt, which matched his eyes, a blue madras over the green shirt, and a leather jacket. He looked so handsome.

"Good Evening, I'm here to pick up a Miss Ruthie Camden," he said. I sniggered.

"Come on, Martin, do you really have to do this?"

"Yes I do I want this to be like a real date. And the rules say the man must pick up his date at her house, or dorm," he replied.

I chucked, "Okay, so where to?"

"I'm not going to tell you that would ruin the surprise!" he said, "come on!"

Martin

I wanted to take Ruthie somewhere special for our first date. Even though it's selfish I still want to show off my girlfriend. I mean who wouldn't want to?

"Martin, how do you even know where you're going? You've only been here for two days! Just please tell me!" Ruthie implored

"One, I looked around while you were getting ready. And two, I want to surprise you with where we're going," I said, smiling as I looked over and saw Ruthie's frustrated face. "Don't worry, babe, you'll love it, I promise," I added. Ruthie's face relaxed a bit after that statement.

As Ruthie and I got closer to our destination, and she realized where we were going, she grinned.

We were headed towards the campus's club.

Ruthie and I took off out snow-covered coats, and went towards an empty table. The air was so warm compared to the frigid atmosphere outside.

We ordered our drinks, Ruthie-lemonade me-root beer, which were brought quickly, and ordered our dinner.

As we were waiting for the food I heard a slow song playing, and had a great idea.

"Ruthie, will you do me the honor of this dance?"

She smiled prettily, "Of course, Martin," she responded.

I lead her on to the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and rested her curly head on my shoulder. While I wrapped my arms around her waist loving just holding her. Then we danced.

"I love you, Martin," she whispered.

"I love you, too," I whispered back.

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful,


Stop me and steal my breath
.

Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky


Never revealing their depth.


Tell me that we belong together,


Dress it up with the trappings of love.


I'll be captivated,


I'll hang from your lips,


Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder,


I'll be love's suicide.


I'll be better when I'm older,


I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

Rain falls angry on the tin roof


As we lie awake in my bed.


You're my survival, you're my living proof.


My love is alive not dead.


Tell me that we belong together.


Dress it up with the trappings of love.


I'll be captivated,


I'll hang from your lips,


Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder,


I'll be love's suicide.


I'll be better when I'm older,


I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead.


Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

I'll be your crying shoulder,


I'll be love's suicide.


I'll be better when I'm older,


I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
