Disclaimer: Nothing has changed since the last chapter. I own nothing, but the plot and computer I'm typing on.

A/n: Sorry I haven't updated in a while I've had Volleyball Camp and I've been way too tired to type. I am totally sore! Plus I've also been volunteering for the city's Parks & Rec. Okay I'm now gonna stop rambling and let you read the next chapter. Oh and thanks to all of my lovely reviewers, and even if you didn't review thank you for reading anyway.

Martin

Today was 14th of August, only a week and a half before I 'marry' Ruthie. And I can't wait. Today was also my bachelor party, at the Camden's house, and Ruthie's bridal shower was being held at Lucy and Kevin's house.

I walked up to the Camden's house a little early. I wanted to talk to Ruthie about the house I had seen for sale at the end of the block. I knew she wanted to live near her family, but not with them. Although Annie had offered up the opportunity to stay in the garage apartment, at least until we can find a place of or own.

I opened the door to look for Ruthie. I looked in the living room, and then the kitchen. She was no where to be found. Or she could be in her room, so I headed up there.

I walked up the two flights of stairs that led to her room. I saw Ruthie sitting on the bed closest to the door, and flipping through a magazine. She was wearing white caprice and a blue tank top with flip flops in the same shade. I then knocked on the door frame. She looked up startled until she realized who it was, and she smiled.

"Hey, Martin," Ruthie said coming over and hugged me, then gave a short and swwet kiss.

"Hey, Ruth, where's Jessie Rose?

"In the shower, I think," she replied.

I smirked and walked closer to Ruthie to whisper, "I love you, Mrs. Brewer," in her ear.

She pressed her lips against mine and pulled back. She then murmured, "I love you, too, Mr. Brewer," against my lips. I leaned closer and crushed my to hers. Ruthie's arms wrapped around my neck, and I entwined mine around her waist. We pulled closer if that was possible and the kiss deepened.

"Ruthie! Martin!"

We jumped apart at the voice. I turned toward the doorway. Hoping it wasn't one of the Camden men. It was Jessie. She looked like she was going to crack up.

"You should have seen you're faces!"

"Jessica Rose! That wasn't funny you scared me to death I thought you were my dad!" Ruthie said scolding her friend.

Jessie just kept laughing. Finally she stopped, and looking contraire said, "I'm sorry guys; I only came up here to tell Ruthie it's time to go to your shower."

"I'll be there in a minute, Jessie," Ruthie said.

Jessie Rose looked from her to me, "Well okay, but only a minute," and with that she left.

Ruthie smiled at me, and grabbed her purse with her right hand, and with her left she grasped my hand. We then walked downstairs together. Ruthie set down her bag, and turned toward me.

"Did you come early just to kiss me?"

I grinned, "Not really, not that kissing you is bad. I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"I'll tell you after the parties, okay?" I said making a sudden decision to wait.

She looked a little confused but said, "That's fine." I leaned in and gave her a short, sweet kiss on the lips.

"Goodbye, I'll see you later Ruthie, Ruth."

"Okay, bye, Martin."

Ruthie

I was walking in the backyard towards Lucy's house feeling deliriously happy.

I opened the gate that leads to the Kinkirk's.

"Hey, Ruthie, Did ya miss me?"

Standing there was Vincent.

I stood there mouth open in shook.

"I'd be speechless, too," he said in an arrogant tone.

I snapped back and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to get you back, babe."

"I'm with Martin now."

"Isn't that the guy who had a baby with a collage girl in High school?"

I sighed, "Not that it's any of your business, but Aaron is my brother, Simon's, son." I said.

"He's not good enough for you," Vincent said.

I would have almost made me chuckle if he hadn't have insulted Martin. "And you are? We love each other. We're married- I mean getting married," I said holding up my left hand.

"Engaged isn't married," he replied. Vincent was walking closer to me, and I backed away. I was suddenly stopped by my back hitting the fence, hard. I groaned inwardly. He placed each of his hands on either side of me on the fence.

"Let me show what you're missing."

He leaned closer to me. I tried getting away, but his arms held me in place. His lips moved over mine with a bruising force.

I kept trying to break away, by shoving or kicking him. That just made him push me harder against the fence.

My only thought was: I have to get out of this!

Martin

I was in the kitchen with Kevin and Mac waiting for everyone else to come. That's when I noticed Ruthie's purse was still on the counter.

"Hey, guys, I'll be right back. I got to give this to Ruthie."

"Okay."

"See ya in a few, man."

"Yea, see ya," I said walking out the door. I walked down to the gate, but stopped seeing a couple snogging in the yard. Wait that was Ruthie! I looked closer at the guy and realized that I knew him.

Oh my God!

Ruthie was kissing Vincent!
