It's not exactly what happened but it's something I've made up.
"Look at the pity in your eyes Rayna"
Those words stung the most. What did he know how I was feeling? I shook my head and corrected him politely.
"Look in my eyes, that's not pity, that's love"
Those words meant way more than anything I've ever said in my life. Deacon had been the love of my life since the day I met him. Yes, we had our differences but it seems as if his blue eyes never left my mind. He was always there and will always be there.
Deacon stayed silent as he tussled with his hands. She looked over at him before closing her eyes for a brief second "Babe." I managed to mumble as my hand reached for his. He looked up at me and I could see his terrified look. I knew he was scared of the possible outcome of his cancer but I was going to be there for him. Though we weren't married, I still took the "Sickness and Health" vow to heart.
"We've gotten in all wrong in the past, but now it's time to get it right babe. Don't fight me on this. Love me. Take the opportunity and don't let it slip away" my heart was racing as I grabbed my purse and pulled out a silver piece of jewelry that was oh so familiar to the two of us.
"Do you remember this?" I said as I placed it in his hand. He looked down at it and a smile crept onto his face. His smile made my heart warm as he nodded his head "Yes, Ray…I do" he said. He continued to examine the ring as if it was the first time he had seen it before looking back at me. "This is for you Ray" he took my hand and ran his finger over my ring finger before slipping it on. It still fit perfectly.
"Oh babe…you shouldn't have" I playfully hit him before leaning into kiss him softly. "We will fight this babe, one way or another. You will get better." He nodded and smiled as he went in for yet another kiss, this time caressing my cheek as his tongue slipped past my lips and into my mouth. My hands slipped around his neck as I readjusted myself to become comfortable.
I kissed his lips again before pulling back and looking into his gorgeous blue eyes, "I guess were going to have to tell Maddie about us, and your cancer" I said as my hands ran threw his hair. He smiled and kissed my nose, "It'll be okay Ray, Maddie is a tough girl. I think she's going to be over the moon about us though. " He said as held me close.
This was really how I thought it would all pan out. I was finally going to be with the man who I should have married years ago. This was the man who I will live the rest of my days with. He is my savior, and my knight in shining amour and nothing was going to get in the way of our happiness. Not this time.
