Lock & Key: What Happens Next.

"Hello? Jamie? Cora? Where are you guys?"

"In here!" Said Jamie a little too enthusiastic.

I walked over to the garage door where Jamie and Cora were standing. Smiling.

"Um, so what's the big surprise?"

"Well, first, lets go inside the garage."

This was the most obvious surprise I have ever gotten. It was a car, no one could doubt that. Then again, we were talking about Cora and Jamie. But I always expected Cora to make it a bit less obvious. Just for the sake of it all, and so Cora wouldn't cry because the surprise was ruined ( her hormones are even worse lately) I would put on my best whoa-I-never-saw-that-coming face and gasp when appropriate.

"Alright."

As soon as the garage door was opened I saw nothing. I looked at Jamie and Cora but they were still smiling. What was I suppose to be seeing…Was the surprise nothing.

"Um, this is nice. Uh, the garage looks…um…" I had nothing the garage looked the same, just more cluttered. Then I noticed something different. There were bags. Not just any bags. Luggage bags. What the heck are luggage bags doing here. Did they buy me this so I'd have something to pack with.

I looked at Cora again and she nodded her head as if to tell me to go check them out. Then I saw the name on them. NATE CROSS. Oh my god!

"Where is he!!!" I said but before they answered I ran right in the house and to my room.

I had to do my hair and put on a fresh layer of make-up. Then I saw him. Right when I opened my door.

"Hey," he smiled.

"Well, your back early." I said trying to catch my breath.

"Yeah, I decided not to let you wait until next week to hear what I had to say, and well, I was pretty tired of being away from you," I couldn't help but smile at that. And that's when he kissed me.

It felt so good to be kissing him again. I missed the shivers it gave me, and the way it felt like nothing will ever be horrible again. Like all the sudden, at that moment, the world just seemed to change, like time was time was slowing down, and there was no longer such thing as good or bad. Everything was always good. Then it ended. And he just looked in my eyes, as I looked at his. I wished this moment would never end.

"Hey you know that wasn't your only surprise of the day" Jamie said at dinner.

"What's the other one?" I said after chewing and swallowing some spaghetti.

That's when Jamie slid a credit card across the table to me. "Here," He said. "It's for a car, and anything else you may need. Cora and I put it in your name and put money on it for you. It's our gift to you. You and Nate can go after dinner if you like."

"Yes, and make sure you call us when you get there and when your on your way back." Cora said.

"Alright we will," This was definitely the best day. I got to see Nate and it seemed that I had nothing to worry about this whole time.

"So, you ready?" Nate said.

I looked down at my plate. It was empty. "I guess so" I said smiling at him.

**

We were on our way to the car dealership and it was kind of quiet.

"So…um…" I broke the silence.

"Yeah Ruby?"

"Uh, just curious. What was it that you wanted to talk about?"

"Ah…I knew you were going to say that sometime, just not this soon."

"Don't change the subject mister" I playfully replied.

"Okay, okay. Well personally I don't think it's the right time to tell you just yet."

"How is it not the right time. I thought you didn't want me to wait."

"I don't it's just, I'd rather tell you somewhere else besides in the car. Can we please drop the subject?'

"Alright. Do you promise me to tell me before Monday?"

"Oh, alright. So what do you want to do on Saturday?"

"Is that when your going to tell me."

"I might."

"Doesn't matter much to me, as long as I know what you want to tell me," I smiled

And he smiled back.
