Lock & Key: What Happens Next
Chapter 3
I walked out of my new red Toyota Camry(just thought you guys wanted to know what car she chose haha) and headed toward the front door. The house was completely empty besides Roscoe who, of course, greeted me as soon as I walked in. I patted Roscoe's head and then headed towards the kitchen with him on my tail.
"Hey," said an unexpected voice from behind me which had made me jump. "Oh, sorry I didn't mean to scary you.
"Nate, I thought you were at your job?" Nate got a new job at Jump Java. He had just walked in and the lady there asked him if he could memorize recipes and make coffee. After he said he could she had hired him. Apparently they were short a few people and she said if he did well he could have the job permanently. Obviously, he did great, as always.
He shrugged, "She said I could have the day off when I asked."
I looked at him funny, "Really?"
"Yeah, she just thought it was sweet of me by keeping a promise to you and what I was going to do today. So she told me I could have the day off to prepare."
'Uh, for what?" That's when I suddenly remembered our date, "Oh, yeah. So what are we doing."
"It's a surprise."
"Awe, I hate surprises!"
"Well too bad. I guess you'll just have to deal," he playfully replied.
"Alright. Well, can I at least know when we're going?"
"Sure. How about when you get ready." He laughed and the just smiled at me.
"Okay, fine. Should I dress up…or dress down," I teased.
"Oh well, either is fine," he smiled, "Now go and get ready so I can tell you sooner."
"Hmmm…alright, but I think you should come help." I teased once more.
He looked at me smiling and then grabbed my hand as he ran up the steps.
***
"Hmmm…that was a great way to start off the date." I smiled.
We were lying on my bed as I was laying in his arms. We hadn't done anything but make out, he wanted to wait until we weren't staying at Cora and Jamie's house for many awkward reasons, but it was still was great being this close to him again. It felt like forever since it's been like this.
"Yeah…you really need to get ready though. We have to be there before 10."he joked.
"Hey! I don't take that long!" I playfully smacked his arm.
"Sure you don't," he rolled his eyes.
"I'll be right back, and I'll show you I don't take long."

Approximately 25 minutes later I found Nate downstairs playing with Roscoe.
I was wearing my favorite gray V-neck pocket shirt and a mini skirt with black leggings and those key earrings Nate had bought me on Valentine's day.
"Woah, you look…absolutely amazing!"
"Thank you. So you ready?"
"Yeah, yeah. Lets go."
***
So on the way there it was very awkward. Why? Well Nate blindfolded me! BLINDFOLDED ME! I have to admit it made me laugh when he put it on, but now it was just ridiculous!
"Nate! When are you going to take this off!"
"I already told you. When we get there."
"Why can't I see where we are going?"
He took a long inward sigh, "Ruby, don't you know anything about surprises?"
I just crossed my arms and said, "Fine, just tell me when we're there."
"Ruby?"
"What?!"
"I'm sorry it's just…I want this to be special and unexpected."
"It's okay, I see your reasoning."
"Man, Ruby…"
"What know?"
"I love you SO much!"
And before I had time to say I love you too the car stopped and he kissed me. It was unexpected and at first we just locked lips. Then he slowly slid his tongue in and moved it in circular motions. Hours could have passed by, even years, until we broke apart. I sat there trying to catch my breath when he whispered in my ear. "We're here."
He took off the blindfold and I just couldn't believe my eyes. It was beautiful! He had taken me to the beach. It was completely empty and…and, just…amazing! The grass was silently dancing in the wind. The waves crashing against the sand, coming in, and crashing against the sand again. The starts were all out and it was a full moon.
"Nate," I said staring at the landscape, "This is wonderful!"
I saw him look at me and smile, "I'm glad you like it. Come on lets go on a walk."
"Alright"
We entered the beach through the old, chipping fence. This was the best date ever. I t felt like some dream. Like I was going to wake up at any moment to find out Nate hadn't even come yet and I still had five more day until I saw him again.
"Aren't you going to ask what I had to tell you?"
"Hmm, I think we should walk still," I said still watching the waves crash and then retreat to the ocean once more, "If that's okay with you, I mean, I really want to just take it all in right now. It feels like such a dream. I just can't believe this is happening."
"So you really like it?"
"Like it! I LOVE it!"
And I kissed him like I have never kissed him before. This had more force and slowly softened. When we pulled away we just started deeply in each other's eyes.
"Ruby, I love you so much. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to be the person I wake up to every morning. I want you to be the last person I see before I fall asleep. I want to her your voice tell me you love me until I take my very last breath. I love you Ruby, and nothing is ever going to change that. I understand if you don't want to get married now, I mean, you are just starting college, and …" Then he got on one knee and pulled out this black velvet box, "Ruby Cooper, will you promise to marry me when you are ready?"
I began to cry. This was just so outstanding! It was unbelievable!
"Ruby, please don't cry, it's making me nervous…I understand if you don't want to, we are young…"
"I-I-It's n-not th-th-that, j-just…y-yes. I promise!"
His face just lit up. At the moment he picked me up and spun me around. "Ruby, You don't even know how happy I am.!"
"Well I think I can make you happier because I want to marry you now. I'm ready now! I love you, and I want to be committed to you for the rest of my life now!"
He kissed me as soon as I said that. This kiss was deeper than ever. Like every bit of emotion we were feeling at that moment was showing through that kiss. We stayed like that until we got to the car. There he lifted me onto the back seat. He slowly set me down and closed the door and I began un buttoning his shirt and then kissed again then we broke apart again.
"You sure you want to do this."
"Never been so sure in my life, well, besides the marriage thing."
And then he kissed me again and we began to take each others clothes off. He began to kiss me and then moved down my neck and body. Then I started to kiss him down the neck and below and the rest well, is a bit more private(Got to keep it rated T haha). This was the best night by far of my life. When he finished we just laid there catching our breath.
"Ruby Cooper, I REALLY love you!"
"Nate Cross, I REALLY love you too."
And be began kissing again, and again. Until it was now 11 pm.
"Cora and Jamie are going to be wondering where we are. We better start getting back home." Nate said.
"Yeah your right."
So we began heading home.
When we got there Cora and Jamie weren't mad. I mean we were adults now, and we just lost track of time. They accepted that and then told us we should go to bed now.
Once we were sure Jamie and Cora had really went to bed, Nate snuck into my room and we slept together with his arms wrapped around me.
"You know, tomorrow we have to tell them what's up," I whispered.
"And…we have to wash that car," I heard him chuckle silently
I couldn't help but laugh either.
That was the end of the most amazing night of my life.
