Its been 8 months since Rachel found out. Its been 8 months since she last spent the night its been a day since I told her I loved her, and its only been yesterday since our last date. I took her to the beach again, and tonight I was going to take her to a fancy dinner, then out for ice cream and then the big question... I am going to ask her to move in with me. Rachel and I have been dating for half a year now, and were in college, but I'm ready and hopefully she is too. She has sorted accepted the fact that I go out almost every night to steal from people, stores, and other sorts of places. She fell in love with me Jason, but not so much the Red X part of me. I went to her apartment ,and Jinx answered.

"Hey Jason, I'm so glad to see you, and I'm so glad you and Rachel made it to the half year mark."

"Yeah me too. Hey Jinx can I ask you something?"

"Sure what is it. You seem nervous, and you're sweating like a pig."

"I'm going to ask Rachel to move in with me tonight, and I don't know if she will say yes."

"Well I hope she does, so Wally and I can have the place to ourselves." Jinx laughed "But on a serious note well I don't know every detail about your relationship but if it has been going well then i'm sure she will say

yes."

"I will say yes to what?" Rachel said coming from her room in a long sleeve lace black dress. her purple hair was in a nice side braid, and she looked amazing.

"Wow you look great." I said

"Not answering my questions I see." Rachel replied. I put my hand around her waist and guided her out of the house.

"See ya Jinx." I said

"Bye" Rachel said.

"You kids have fun now." We both laughed Jinx was the same age as me, and Rachel was a and a two years younger but living with a college professor you skip grades and do advance classes.

"So where you taking me?"

"Somewhere special." I said. We soon arrived at a fancy Italian restaurant. We got valet parking, and Jason guided me in the restaurant. A waitress showed us our table which was in the back secluded from everyone else. The place was overwhelmed with the smell of spaghetti sauces and fresh baked bread.

"Can I start you off with something to drink?" the waitress asked.

"I'll have a lemonade." Rachel smiled at the waitress.

"I'll have a water." I said. We looked at the menu for awhile, and then Rachel picked up on my nerves and my sweating.

"So why did you decide to take me here?"

"I will tell you after we eat." The waitress came back with our drinks and took our orders. Until the food came I tried to make small talk.

"So got any plans for the summer?" I asked

"Besides spending everyday with you no, not really?"

"I was thinking we could go on a trip, do things we've never done before, see the world."

"That sounds amazing, and costly." I gave her a look. "But i'm sure you can find a way around that." She said shaking her head in disapproval. "Jason have you ever given the thought of giving up the life of a common thief?"

"I used to never, but when I met you thats all I think about. I know how happy it would make you if i quit, but Carl." She slammed her fist down on the table.

"Fuck Carl. Do what you want Jason."

"I am."

"You want to be a thief?" She argued back.

"It brings in good money."

"Okay i'll give you that, but is what you really what you want to do?"

"No." Our food finally came. And we ate in silence. She ate her ravioli and I ate my steak pasta. When we

finished we got our car from valet and I took her to the ice cream shop on the pier. We began to talk and laugh again. Instead of talk about Red X and thievery we talked about Jinx and Wally, summer plans to paris, running a marathon, and debate about getting a pet dog. The talk was going good. We were talking about the future our future, so it was time to ask. We were in the shop still and I wiped my mouth of any ice cream before I asked the burning question. I opened my mouth ready to speak.

"Wait you missed a spot." She said leaning over the table wiping some ice cream off my cheek. She sat back down and blushed a little.

"Rachel do you want move in with me?" She looked at me with wide eyes.

"Wow, you just came straight out and said it."

"So is that a yes?"

"I don't know Jason."

"Come on we're both mature college students, you wouldn't have to pay rent, theres ton of room in my apartment."

"Oh alright." She said. "Lets go pack my things now!" She stood up grabbed my hand and ran off to the car. I was so glad to see her so excited. We got to Jinx's and Rachel ran right to her room grabbed a box and packet all her stuff.

"I take it she said yes." Jinx said to me, Wally was next to her, and he just nodded at me in approval. He was very happy and proud of me that I finally stopped fooling around.

"I'm ready." Rachel said coming out of her room with only two boxes. I forgot she didn't have much. Back at my place I brought her one box to the guest room.

"Well its late and I got to..." Rachel put her hand up.

"Say no more. go. I'll be here, unpacking."

"Okay." I kissed her "Nite, See you in the morning."

"Be safe."

"Always." And I left her home to pack while I went to rob a bank. With Rachel at my house I really questioned myself. What am I doing here on the streets, I should be at home, with her. Maybe I should give up the life of a thief. I have enough money in the bank for Rachel and I too take care of ourselves for a long time even if we were to have a kid we would be set. Oh my gosh what am i talking about. A kid? I was thinking so much that I tripped the alarm. Shit. I took the money I had and left to the hideout.

"You tripped an alarm! Jason are you fucking kidding me? You are getting sloppy man and I don't like it."

"I know. Sorry it won't happen again." And I left the hideout with a very upset Carl inside. I got to the apartment, and it was silent I went to Rachel's room and she was a sleeping beauty she looked so perfect just laying there. I went in and kissed her on the forehead, and went back to my room.
