It's been three months. Where do I begin? Martin is back. That's the one and only thing that I care about. It's been the best three months of my life. We are best friends again. The only problem is that we are just like how we were before. And I am more in love with him than ever, and he can't see it.
My brother is a father, Aaron's father to be exact. Yep, Sandy's son is my brother's son too. That's why Martin came back.
I was supposed to be going to Scotland, it didn't happen. Or better yet Martin said to me "I came back for you and you're going to leave me? Yeah I don't think so." He pulled me into a hug and that's how we have been for the best three months of my life.
Then why am I so miserable? I just wish he knew that I had the same feelings for him.
"Hey you whatcha doing?" Martin said coming and lying down on the bed closest the desk.
Closing the book shut and putting it in the desk she turned around looked at him.
"Nothing just writing."
"About?"
"Nothing, really." Avoiding the question and not looking at him.
"Hey, you what's wrong?" Martin said sitting up and looking at her right in the eyes.
"I said you look beautiful" He said walking towards her.
"You can't do this to me." She said.
"Do what?"
"Say the things I have always wanted to hear you say to me."
Ruthie got up and moved away from him, they hadn't been that close since the day of Simon and Rose's non-existent wedding.
Martin got up and went behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.
"I need to talk to you." He said taking his time with everything.
"Oh what, you're going to tell me that you're leaving to take care of a girl you got pregnant and that you love me like a sister." She said laughing and turning around to face him and his face looked so serious.
"Well part of that is right but a lot of it is wrong." He said moving closer to her.
"You're leaving because you got another girl pregnant? Please don't tell me that, I don't know if I can handle that anymore."
"Ruthie, remember when you said that I said that I loved you like a sister?"
"Unfortunately, it's not one of the fondest memories of ours."
"Well something has changed."
"You don't love me anymore?"
"No, I do."
"Like a sister? Yeah, Martin, nothing has changed with that."
"No, I love you, not like a sister but as something more, more like a girlfriend."
"You can't do this to me." She said.
"Do what?"
"Say the things I have always wanted to hear you say to me."
"Déjà vu"
"What?"
"You said that same thing before when I said you looked beautiful three months ago."
"I know."
"You remember?"
"I have remembered everything from the last three months."
"You have?"
"Yes. Ruthie, I want to be with you."
"You what?" Ruthie said backing away from him.
He pulled her hand and just pulled her close to him. He slowly leaned down and kissed her on the lips. Slowly and powerful. She pulled away.
"What was that?"
"Something I have wanted to do for the last month."
"You have?"
He pulled her close to him again and pressed his lips to hers, an electrifying sensation went through both of them. It was everything she had wanted. The kiss lasted for minutes. She pulled away.
"Am I dreaming?"
"No."
She jumped up and kissed him.
-Beep. Beep. Beep.-
She jumped up out of bed and hit the snooze button.
"Too bad it was just a dream."
She fell back into bed.
"Morning sleepy head."
She shot up and looked at him.
"You're really here?"
"Yeah, how many times are you going to ask me that?"
"So are we going to talk about yesterday?"
AN; I can take this story two ways. But I haven't decided yet. So right now it's just a filler chapter. Sorry it took so long.
