Part 14

'Were locked in.' She repeated as she tried the door again.

'Well isn't that a shame.' He grinned.

'We need to get out of here.' She glared at him as he sat down on the bed.

'I'm in no hurry.' She huffed at him.

'Well I am, I want to get out of here.' She said sharply as he flopped back on his bed.

Ruth stood at the door for another ten minutes, shouting at Elham to unlock the door but there was no sigh she was going to open it. She had given up so she slumped down onto the floor leaning her head against his door; Jay sat up and looked at Ruth. She looked like she had given up fighting and this would be his best chance to talk to her.

'Given up?' He walked towards her.

She didn't reply she just turned her head away from him and rolled her eyes determined not to have any contact with him.

'Well you might not be in the mood to talk but I am.' He sat down next to her.

'Look I know you don't want to hear this again but what you just saw wasn't how it looked Laura needed a place to stay and I couldn't let her go home alone in that state.' Her head span round to look at Jay taking him by surprise.

'So you were going to be the perfect gentlemen, let the slapper that you just met sleep in your bed whilst you slept on your sofa. How kind.' She said sharply as he puffed out his cheeks.

'Give me a chance yeah.' Ruth rolled her eyes.

'I met her at that shop the one where you feel in love with that thing, she was closing up and she said she would only open if I took her for a drink. So I do, she had one too many and I couldn't let her go home like that so I said she could sleep on my sofa. Do you think I would ever sleep with another girl? I'm to in love with you.' Tears filed Ruth's eyes.

'I...Why was you there?'Ruth looked confused as Jay reached into his pocket and pulled out a box.

'I was getting this.' Ruth's faced paled as she looked down at the sparkling diamond necklace that Jay was holding.

'Oh my god. You remembered.' He nodded as she took the necklace in her hand.

'I know that you liked it. I remembered you saying it reminded you of your mum.' He bit his lip as Ruth ran her fingers across the crisp diamond edges.

'Thank you.' Her voice was soft as Jay took her free hand and gripped it tightly.

'There's something else I want to give you.' Roth looked confused as Jay stood up and made his way to his desk draws.

'What?'She followed him.

He took a deep breath in and turned to face Ruth his hands behind his back.

'Will you...Will...You. 'Ruth laughed at him as she didn't have a clue what he was on about.

'Jay spit it out.' Ruth shook head.

'Ok. Will you marry me?' He lent down on one knee and pulled out a diamond ring the look on Ruth's face priceless as he waited her response.

She was stunned, she couldn't believe that Jay was asking her; never in a million years did she expect this. Her mouth hung open as he stared at her waiting for her to answer the most important question he had never asked her.

'Umm...Yeah, yeah I will.' He beamed as he jumped up and looked at her.

'Really?'She nodded.

'I...Come here. 'He took her hand and slipped on the rig before grabbing her around the waist and hugging her tightly.

He pulled away after a while and looked at her as hot tears poured down her face.

'Hey you. What's up? I'm not that bad.' He kissed away some of her tears.

'I'm sorry. It's not you; I can't believe we nearly left each other.' He laughed at her as she nuzzled into his chest.

That's why I love you.' He kissed her forehead before pulling away from her and crashing his lips against hers.

Ruth pulled away first, the smile on Jay's face making her bogy tingle. She couldn't believe what had just happened.

'I'm sorry.' Ruth said suddenly taking Jay by surprise.

'What for Mrs Faldren?'He chuckled earning himself a whack to the chest.

'I'm being serious you. I'm sorry for the way I acted about the whole family thing, I over reacted about it.' She led him to sit on the edge of the bed.

'No I'm sorry I shouldn't have said it. Anyway when you're Mrs Faldren you'll have a whole new family. You'll be my family.' He grinned at her.

'I suppose I will. How weird is that?'She pouts at him.

'You know what I'm so happy right now.' He stood up and removed his jacket.

'Me too I think us getting married will be a whole new start.' Ruth sounded optimistic as Jay moved to the door to see if it was open.

Well Yes I'm pleased about that but right now I'm pleased about the fact that I have my girlfriend alone.' He winked at her as she smiled at him.

'I suppose you do.' She said seductively as he approached her again.

Jay came close to Ruth as she eyed him up; the urge to kiss her came to much so he pushed her down onto the bed and kissed her passionately her arms snaked around his neck as they both lost themselves in the kiss. Jay pulled away first and looked down at Ruth as she kissed his neck.

'I think that you need to get rid of this top Mrs Faldren to be.' He winked at her before whipping of her top and kissing her across her collar bone.

Ruth's eyes flew open as she felt a cold hand resting on her thigh; she turned over to see a beaming Jay looking at her.

'Hey.' Her voice was horse.

'Hey. You ok?' She rolled over to look at him.

'Yeah I couldn't be better.' She pushed the duvet up to their necks as Jay wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

'Good because I feel the same.' He stroked her hair as she ran her hand down his bare chest.

The pair just lay there for a good half an hour just enjoying each other's company, and enjoying the contact that they were sharing. Ruth knew that people were going to ask questions about their engagement but she didn't care, all she could think about was the fact her and Jay were going to be husband and wife. And nothing right now could shake this great feeling.

'Right do you fancy a coffee?' She was snapped out of her thoughts by Jay talking to her.

'Umm...Yes please.' She smiled at him.

'Alright then let me go and get it.' He kissed Ruth before climbing out of bed, Ruth turned to look at him as he moved around the bed completely naked.

'Urg Jay put some clothes on.' She looked away as he chuckled.

'You weren't complaining last night.' He winked as she wrinkled her nose in disgust at him.

'Yes because I've seen it all before but your sister may have a heart attack.' She laughed.

'Well of course I'm going to put something on to go down the, but like you said you've seen it all. Why wear clothes in front of you.' He winked before grabbing a pair of boxers and putting them on.

'I suppose its ok.' She poked her tongue out cheekily at him.

'Good because I like walking around naked.' He said proudly making Ruth laugh.

'Vain.' She mumbled.

'I heard that.' He span around to look at her.

'What?'She looked innocent as she sat up in bed.

'Nothing. Let me those coffees.' He made his way towards the door.

As he grabbed the handle and turned it he noticed that it wasn't opening then the memories from last night came back to him. When him and Ruth had headed upstairs Elham had sent him a text saying she would lock them in so they would have time to sort stuff out. But she still hadn't unlocked it.

'Jay what an earth are you doing?'Ruth frowned at him.

He smiled at her hoping she would take the news well

'Elham she hasn't unlocked the door.' He bit his lip as Ruth's face turned to pure horror.

'Jay I really hope you joking I have work in a bit.' She sounded irritated as Jay rubbed the back of his neck.

'Babe I'm sorry. Let me just call her.' He passed her one of his t-shirts before grabbing his mobile and calling Elham.

After ten calls to Elham, Jay placed his phone down on the bed and turned to face a frustrated Ruth.

'She must have gone to school.' He sighed.

'Your joking haven't you got a spare key, cant you climb out the window?' She pointed in the direction of the window.

'No, No I can't. Common Ruth cant we just call in say were both sick.' She glared at him.

'No we can't. Well if you're going to stay up here like an idiot I'll have to go out the window.' She flung her arms out in frustration before heading over to the window.

'What?'I don't think so.' He shouted as Ruth pushed the window open and began to climb out.

'No!'He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back into the room.

'Jay we have work.' Ruth complained as Jay slammed the window shut.

'Yes we do but I'm not sure they would want you there as a patient.' Ruth glared at him.

'But...'She went to answer back.

'You listen to me, we'll have to wait for Elham to come back and that's the end of it.' He stood firm as Ruth folded her arms and looked away from him.

After a couple of minute of complaining Ruth finally stopped and joined Jay back in bed. They had been locked in for nearly half the day and not a word from Elham, but they didn't care they had enjoyed it they'd been talking about their life's and shared future dreams.

'Alright then what about your type of man?'He stuck his tongue out at her.

'To be honest it wasn't you, I was always attracted to the professional, intelligent and confident type.'

'And we all know who that is Jordan.' He smirked earning himself a whack the chest.

'Well I'm supposing I wasn't your type.' She eyed him up.

'Well if were both being honest I thought you were annoying, boring and a control freak, so no you weren't.' Ruth laughed.

'So who was?'She raised an eyebrow at him.

'Well...Polly.' He mumbled.

'I knew it. You know that even though you might not be my type, I love you more than anything.' She said honestly as Jay leaned forward and caught her in a passionate embrace.

'I love you to.' He lent his forehead on hers/

Just as Ruth went to kiss him again Elham burst through the door breathing heavily.

'I'm so sorry.' She panted as Ruth and Jay laughed.

'What?'She looked confused as the pair stopped laughing and looked at her again.

'Don't be sorry you got us back together.' Jay beamed as Ruth showed Elham her, ring the expression on her face priceless as the pair smiled back at her.
