Brelynn's POV

Ricky and I laid in bed after everyone left. Skyler went to bed after Andi and Chris's announcement.

"So, marriage?" Ricky started, we were both looking at the white ceiling and I turned my head slightly, looking at the ceiling in a different way.

"Yup." I simply said, popping the 'p'. "Do you think that we will ever get married?" I asked I felt the bed shift and I turned towards Ricky. He was looking at me with pure shock.

"Do- do you want to get married?" He stammered, I looked down then back up at him.

"I don't know, maybe?" I questioned him and myself. I don't know what I want anymore.

"Cause, if I remember correctly you were the one who said you were never going to get married." Ricky said and I thought back to when we were still in the crushing phase, when I said that.

-7 YEARS AGO IN AUSTRALIA BEACH-

I was sitting on the beach, with my toes under the sand and someone sat next to me. I looked over at him and it was RIcky. The gorgeous smile, spread across his face. I smiled and looked back at my toes, the cool blue ocean water ran over them.

"So where are you going after this?" He asked, I looked out over the blue sky and the matching ocean water. I looked over at him and his eyes were locked on mine.

"I don't know. I always was going back and forth between jobs. I mean right now i'm working at a tattoo parlor in Denver. But nothing is for sure, for sure." I said, trying to explain and understand myself.

"Interesting. So do you um... Have a boyfriend?" He asked, I felt my face get hot and I looked down, letting my hair cover my face.

"Um, no. Not anymore. I've been single for the past few months." I said, I felt my face cool so I looked back at him and he nodded, looking out at the ocean.

"SO, you're not getting married or anything?" He asked and I shook my head, chuckling.

"No, I don't think that I ever want to get married. It's never been my style or sort of thing you know?" I asked looking at him.

I was staring at him, reminiscing in that day.

"I'm sorry for asking, I mean we aren't even dating." I said, turned back onto my back and itching the side of my nose.

"Why did you ask?" He asked, I turned my head too look at him and he was looking at me, while still lying on his side.

"I don't know. I've just been thinking about it, because Skyler asked me before we left to come here. I just don't know, it stuck in my mind." I said, rambling and my hand was now a my side. Then after shuting up, I felt my hand being grabbed and I turned to look at RIcky. He was the only one in the room.

"Brelynn, the other day when I said, I was going to Chris's I went to my girlfriend's well ex-girlfriend's house." He said and I turned to look at him.

"You don't need to tell me." I said and he shook his head.

"I want too." He said and I nodded. "I went to her house and I told her that, her and I were over. I told her that because I want to try us, for us to have a chance and also for Skyler." He said and I nodded.

"Okay, I know we talked about this. But why didn't you just tell me you were going out or that you went to her house?" I asked, I looked at where I thought his eyes were and I felt his hand grip tighter around my hand.

:"Because, I didn't know that you weren't going to ask questions. And if I mentioned that I was seeing someone then maybe it would've affected your decision." He said and I looked at him confusedly.

"What do you mean 'affect my decision?" I asked and I felt the bed move, but I couldn't see what was happening. I felt Ricky's hand let go of my hand and pull my head into his chest.

"Wait where is your head?" I heard him ask and I chuckled, in his chest. "Oh my god!" He laughed and we both laid in bed laughing for a few minutes. "Can we try that again?" He asked and I smiled.

"Yes." I said, leaning in and pressing my lips to his. After a few minutes of kissing, he pulled me into my chest and he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly. "Was that your way of asking me to be your girlfriend again?" I asked, as the silence filled the room. 

"Yes." He said, he was falling asleep and I felt his head pressed up against my back. 

"Well, hint hint you should probably ask." I said, in a whisper type voice and smiled to myself. 

"Brelynn Harley Rose, will you be my girlfriend? Again, after 7 years?" He asked and I smiled, while biting my tongue. "Brelynn I know you are not asleep." He said and I chuckled. 

"Of course. All you had to do was ask." I said, he squeezed me tightly and I chuckled. 

"Whatever goodnight babe." He said, which sent shivers down my spine. 

"Night darling." I said and snuggled into my pillow.
