"Kevin I don't understand why we have to drive to Kentucky for the holidays. I'm not that far along yet," Sarah complained as she packed up her suitcase.

"I know, but I just think it would be better for us to drive anyway. Besides I'm kinda sick of airplanes right now."

Sarah laughed and shook her head. "You are a pain the ass you know that?"

"Yes, but you love me anyway," Kevin teased.

"Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it."

"Hey!" Kevin said as he grabbed Sarah by the waist. "I know you didn't mean that."

Sarah smirked and stuck out her tongue. "Maybe I do. What are you gonna do about it?"

"This," Kevin said as he kissed her passionately.

"Oooh," Sarah murmured as she wrapped her arms around Kevin's shoulders and kissed him back.

Kevin was reaching up her shirt when he heard the doorbell ring. He jumped and quickly removed his hand from her shirt.

"That must be Rachel and Brian," Kevin said as he got up and walked down the hall.

Sarah straightened her shirt back up and followed him out the living room. Kevin opened the door and there stood Rachel and Brian.

"Hey guys!" Kevin said.

"Hey cuz! Are ya'll ready?"

"We're almost done with the last minute packing. Come on in and have a seat," Sarah replied.

Rachel and Brian walked into the house and took a seat on the couch.

"Man I can't wait to get to Kentucky. It's going to be fun," Brian said with an excited smile.

"I know it's going to be great," Kevin agreed. "Hey Brian come with me to my office for a minute. I wanna show you something."

"Okay," Brian said as he got up and followed him. "So what did you want to show me?"

Kevin shut the door and went into the closet and pulled out a shoe box. He dug around in the box and pulled out a small black box. "This is Sarah's Christmas present," he said in a low tone. Kevin slowly opened the box to reveal a platinum edition white gold engagement ring.

Brian's eyes grew wide as he stared at the large diamond. "Damn!" he exclaimed. "Look at that thing!"

"Shhh!" Kevin shushed. "She'll hear you."

"Sorry," Brian whispered.

"Do you think she'll like it?"

"Heck yeah!"

"I hope so. I'm gonna do it on Christmas Eve in front of my family. Do you think you and Rachel can be there?"

"Oh yeah definitely," Brian assured.

"Good...I gotta tell you cuz, I'm a little nervous about this. Last time I proposed to a girl she dumped me. I hope I'm doing the right thing. I really love Sarah."

Brian smiled and patted Kevin on the back. "Trust me Kev, she'll say yes. I have a feeling that she's the one."

"Yeah...me too," Kevin said with a smile. He shut the box and stuck it in his pocket. "Well, we better get back in the living room before she gets suspicious."

Brian and Kevin returned to the living room where Sarah and Rachel were sitting on the couch talking.

"There you are!" Sarah said as she stood up. "Are you ready?"

"I am if you are."

"I'm all set."

"Great, I'll start putting our stuff in the rental car," Kevin said as he picked up two suitcases.

"I'll help you," Brian said as he picked up another bag and followed Kevin outside.

Kevin put all the bags in the back of the van. He reached in his pocket and stuck the box securely in his suitcase. Brian put his and Rachel's stuff in the back and Kevin shut the back door. Rachel and Sarah came outside and got into the van. Brian got in the back with Rachel and Kevin got in the driver's seat. He started the van then opened the door back up.

"I'll be right back I think I forgot to lock the back door," he said as he got out. He ran and locked the back door with his key then made his way back. He heard Sarah honk the horn.

"Come on slow polk! Let's get a move on!" she shouted out the window.

Kevin grinned and jogged back to the van. "Okay I think we're ready to roll," he said as he put on his seat belt and backed out of the driveway. "Kentucky here we come!" he joked the headed out to the highway.
