Once again sorry for the long delay.
The next day Ray and Neela drove his mother to the airport for her trip to Tahiti.
"Okay Mom now you go and have a good time. Don't worry about anything."
"Oh Ray for the first time in months I feel so relieved that you will be okay."
"Don't worry Ms. Barnett I'll keep him out of trouble for you."
Ms. Barnett gave Neela a big smile and hug.
"Neela, you are a beautiful girl, my son is so lucky to have you in his life."
"No Ms Barnett I am the lucky one."
Ray just looked at Neela after her statement and wrapped his arm around her waist.
Flight 276 for Tahiti boarding now on gate B5, all passengers please proceed to the gate.
"Okay guys that's me."
"Alright mom have a good time, and get some well deserved rest. And mom I love you."
"I love you very much Ray and thank you."
She gave Ray and Neela both a hug and off she went. Ray and Neela had arrived at the house about on hour later. Ray was happy that he finally had the house to himself. Even though he was grateful to his mom he really wanted to have his own space. For months he would remember before Neela moved in with him how he would have parties and girls at his place almost every night. Then Neela came alone and turned his once womanizing, party animal life around. All he ever wanted to do was send his quality time with her, watching movies and poker games. He was just disappointed that he never told her earlier that he cared for her. A freak accident gave him the courage to finally tell her his true feelings and when he did tell her it was with so much malice and pain that he never thought she would walking into his life again.
"Ray, what time do you go to your rehab session?"
"Well, I cancelled for today."
"Why?"
"I wanted us to spend the day together and relax a little."
"But Ray I don't want you to stop your daily routine because of me."
"Relax Neela I spoke to my therapist and he agreed to schedule me for tomorrow. Trust he understood."
"Okay, but tomorrow, no excuses."
"Yes Mom, I thought I sent her to Tahiti for a week."
"Yeah, Now I'm in charge."
"I guess I have to send you to Tahiti with her."
"Hey, if you are paying I'm there."
Ray walked closer to Neela and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him.
"You know I could just shut you up by just kissing you and doing other things to you the rest of the day."
"I would love to see you try."
Ray started to kiss Neela on her lips with passion and fiery. Her lips parted, inviting him inside, His tongue teased the inside of her mouth as his hands slid down her back she let out a small moan. Ray continued to kiss her down her neck she slid her hands under his shirt, needing to feel his skin beneath her hands. I want to make love to you, Neela.
All of the sudden Neela pushed him back.
"Neela, what happened?"
"Ray, we are acting like two high school kids sneaking around while you're Mum is at work. I want our first time to be special."
"Neela, I…I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking I just dreamt of having you in everyway and I could not help to act on my desires."
"Ray, I'm sorry too. I want this too but I just am probably a little scared."
"Are you afraid of me? Neela listen if my situation is too much for you I understand."
"Ray, Would I be here if I was afraid of you and the situation at hand. I'm afraid to lose you again, I'm afraid of giving you my whole heart and something taking that away from me."
"After what happened to both of us, I don't think fate will kick our ass any further." Ray joked
"It's not funny Ray, I am really scared. Any ways how are we suppose to have a relationship if you live here now and I'm in Chicago?"
"Oh."
"What do you mean Oh? Are you planning to stay here or go back Ray?"
"I'm not sure."
"You are not sure? Ray we can't do this. See I knew it. It will never work between us you are have a life here and I…"
"Neela, Shut up!"
Neela looked at Ray with a shock expression.
"Excuse me."
"Shut up Neela, you always have to over analyze everything. I never said I was not going back to Chicago. I said I was not sure, I want to make sure that we have a solid foundation before I make that trip back. We have been through a lot and I want to make sure there will be a us and it will not change once I get to Chicago I also have to start my residency again so before I go back I have a lot of things to do. Neela, I love you very much and I want us to be together so stop worrying so much."
"I'm sorry Ray I can't stop thinking with my head, I need to let my heart lead the way sometimes."
"Neela you are one of the most intelligent women I know but you are well, no offense suck in the love department."
"Hey, no hitting below the belt you wanker."
"The truth hurts doesn't it?" Said Ray in a joking manner.
"Ray you are certifiable."
"Yeah, well I got to be me."
"Yeah, I think I'll keep you."
"You better."
With that they shared a passionate kiss.
