-Chapter 11: Need You Now-
(February 2010 – Washington D.C.)
"Maddie, is everything set up?" I asked the maid that was serving as my right hand for this whole Valentine's Day present setup.
"Of course, Mr. Evans," the blonde haired maid replied with a smile, "Everything's ready when you are."
"Alright, thanks so much Maddie," I replied, "You're truly a life saver."
"It's not problem, Mr. Evans," Maddie replied with a laugh.
"No, truly I'm thankful which is why I cleared it with your boss that you are to have the night off so go out and have fun," I told the maid with a smile before hugging her and bidding her goodbye.
Smiling and humming "My Girl" by the Jackson 5 as I continued my walk towards Martha's room. Reaching her door ten minutes later, I straightened out my pajamas and quietly knocked on her bedroom door.
"Coming," I heard her soft reply and when she opened the door dressed in her pajamas and slippers, just like I requested, I smiled and quickly grabbed her hand.
"Come on, Cutie," I whispered to her as I looked around before running with her towards our destination.
"Why are we running?" Martha whispered as we continued to run, dodging everyone as we went along, even losing my Secret Service Agents on the way so we were truly along and I knew that for doing, so I was gonna get in major trouble for not having my bodyguards with me.
"Shh, just come on," I told her with a secretive smile and finally after ten minutes of running and dodging people we reached our destination.
"Ryan what are we doing here?" She asked me.
"You'll see," I told her, my secretive smile still on my face, "Ladies first."
"Oh wow, Ryan, oh my God," she said as she entered the Solarium or the Sun Room.
The Solarium was beautifully done into a starry night. Hanging from the ceiling were star shaped white LED lights, around the walls of glass windows were strands of light blue lights, the windows were covered with pictures of them and their friends from some of their sweetest memories along with messages from their friends and family, and in the center of the floor not only was it covered in white and black rose petals, but a black blanket with silver stars on it. On top of that blanket not only sat square silver satin pillows, but a bottle of sparkling cider, two champagne flutes, and a picnic basket along with a dessert basket.
"You like it?" I asked her neverously.
"Like it?" She asked, turning around to me in shock, "I absolutely love it, and I love you."
"Well, that's good because I love you too," I replied as I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her. "Care to join me for a picnic, Cutie?"
"Of course," she replied with a smile and giggle and together we sat down on the picnic basket.

"Do you have any siblings?" I asked her as we sat in the middle of the blanket, having a thumb war while playing Twenty Questions, even though we knew each other by heart it was still always fun to play.
"Nope, you?" She asked with a roll of her eyes.
"Yep, one sister who's my twin, Sharpay," I told her, "Where did you grow up?"
"Albuquerque, New Mexico. You?"
"Same," I replied with a chuckle, "What's your dream job?"
"Being a choreographer or a dance teacher, you?"
"Same, how about what you like to do for fun?"
"Dance and hang out with my friends and family. How about you?"
"Dance, sing, and hang out with my friends and family…and sometimes fighting with my drama queen of a sister," I informed her, adding the last part making it different then when I told her on our first date.
She smirked and took that as a challenge as she asked her next question, "Do you prefer large crowds or intimate gatherings?"
"Well, I prefer large crowds if it's my family or if I'm onstage, and intimate gatherings if I'm with my close family and my group of friends. Where do you go to college and what do you think of your roommates and classes?"
"Well, I got to UCLA, and my roommates have been my friends since forever, we all grew up together. As for my classes, there are times when I love 'em and hate 'em, but then again who doesn't, right?"
"Right," I replied, "What's your family and friends like?"
"My friends are crazy, especially Chad, but I love them no matter what and my families the same way, but I still love them – even my dad though he can be a little overprotective at times."
"Don't I know it," I mumbled causing us both to laugh.
RYMAR*RYMAR*RYMAR
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause
I can't fight it anymore
"Favorite color?" I asked her as we continued to play Twenty Questions while dancing to Lady Antebellum's hit song Need You Now.
"Tie Dye," she whispered her reply from where her head was placed on my chest over my head while her arms were wrapped around my shoulders and mine around her waist with my head sitting on top of hers.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
"Pets?"
"Cat, you?"
"Dog," I replied.
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
"Favorite friend?"
"That's easy, Gabriella, yours?"
"Same, but she's also tied with Troy," I replied with a chuckle.
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
"Favorite Movie?" I asked her, knowing what was coming.
"Moulin Rouge, you?"
"Footloose," I replied with a chuckle.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
"Role model or models?"
"Mo'Nique, Queen Latifa, and my mom. Do you have any, if so who?"
"Yes I do, my dad and Tom Cruise and John Travolta," I replied.
It's a quarter after one
I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost control
And I need you now
And I don't know how can do without
I just need you now
(Whoa, Whoa)
Smiling, I quickly took her hand and spun her out away from me and then back into my arms before dipping her causing her to let out a shriek of surprise and me to laugh at it.
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
"Okay, last question. What's the happiest moment in your life?" I whispered my question in her ear.
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
But I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
"I have two," she said picking her head up off my chest and locking our eyes together with a smile on her face, "The first's when you asked me out and the second's when you told me you loved me and only me because of who I am and that nothing else mattered."
TO BE CONTINUED…
Well, there it is and FYI the pure Troyella one is next, now I know, I know I still have Zekepay to do, but…well I'll explain that in the next chapter.
LOVE,
Jessica.
"…oh baby I need you now."
