Sorry, I decided to rewrite this chapter, and continue the story. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to tell me.
"So what made you decide to come here?"
"I realized I was being a complete Jerk."
"You a jerk, no such thing as Neela being a jerk."
Ray said with humor and sarcastism in his voice.
"Oh shut up, you wanker."
"You know what, I am sorry for making you feel as if I was backing you up into a corner. I just want us to finally be together without all the extra drama that always seems to follow us."
"Well, if you promise not to keep your feelings from me, and tell me how you feel about everything at all times, I promise to do the same. And don't worry I won't marry anyone else in the spur of the moment."
"I think that's fair."
Ray and Neela had arrived at the airport in Baton Rouge. As soon as Neela stepped outside of the airport she instantly felt at peace. The air in Baton Rouge was different from the air in Chicago, it was crisp and clean. The people even seemed friendlier; Neela could not believe how peaceful it seemed here.
"Hey Neela I got a cab let's go."
"Okay"
Ray and Neela took the cab over to Ray's mother's house. It was a beautiful country home with a Pickett fence and a beautiful lawn, perfect for small children to run around on.
"Ray your mom's house is beautiful."
"Thanks, her and my dad got it when they got married. My grandmother gave it to them, and mom always said when I finally find the woman of my dreams I will eventually get the house."
"Oh really I hope you find her one day." Neela says jokingly
"Yeah, I think I know who she is."
"Really, who is she?"
"She is this little 4 ft tall british girl with a sarcastic disposition."
"Hey I not 4 ft tall you wanker, I might be short but I can still kick your ass."
"Okay, Okay your 4'2."
Neela smacked Ray on the arm. Ray could not hold his laughter as her could see Neela becoming frustrated about her height.
They entered the house, Neela was welcomed by a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the living room and an all the Christmas decorations you could think of. The house smelled like chestnuts and pine. Ray's mother finally came out of the kitchen to greet her son and Neela.
"Hey guys Merry Christmas, I'm so happy you are here Neela."
"Thank you so much Ms. Barnett. I am so happy to be here."
"Give me a minute guys I have the turkey in the oven, Ray take Neela to her room, it is all ready for her."
"Thank You Ms. Barnett."
"You are welcome sweetheart."
Ray took Neela to the back of the house and showed her the spare room. It was right next to Ray's room, the only thing separating it was the adjoining bathroom.
"So your room is right next door?"
"Yep, so don't get any ideas about seducing me while I'm asleep."
"I'll do my best to control myself Ray."
"But, if you do want to seduce me in the middle of the night my door is always open."
"Ray you are cockier now then ever."
"Well, you know I lost my legs not my sense of humor."
"Ray" Neela said with frown.
"Neela relax it is okay, don't start again okay."
"Okay I'm sorr…"
"Don't you say it?"
"No Problem, now can we go eat I am starving."
"Yeah I remember for 4'2, you can really eat.
"Ray I'm Not 4'2."
"Okay, Okay… shorty."
