Chapter 40
Rayn's POV
I escorted Mary to the kitchen, nervous if I must say.
Did I do something wrong?
What if she doesn't approve of my relationship with Ella!
What if she doesn't like me?
No, I can't live without her, she's my everything.
My world.
My universe.
She made my life bright like her beautiful smile.
" So Rayn, I heard that you love my daughter, right ? And how much are you willing to do for her ? " she began with an emotionless face.
Her question is the easiest one I've had in many years.
I looked at her straight in the eyes
" Yes I love her so much , I love her to the sun and back and I'm willing to sacrifice my life for her ,I would die for her ,I would take a bullet right in my heart for her " I replied honestly.
I saw a smile making her way to Mary's face " Wow... I'm speechless. They usually say ' To the moon and back ' yet there you are, as cute as ever " She said. Then she hugged me.
I felt safe in her arms.
I felt warm.
Like a mother's warm.
Wait....she knew me before?
I don't remember her in my childhood.
Maybe she knew my mother. yeah that's probably it.
I shook it off because it's not the time " Thanks? so what..." I said hoping that she would tell me why I'm here.
" Rayn, do you know when is Ella's birthday? " She asked.
" Well of course it's this Thursday ,why? " I replied.
She looked surprised, but she recovered. " who told you that? "
" Well Mary, I have my own sources" I smirked proudly.
I mean of course I know my girlfriend's birthday.
And thank you Joy.
" Okay then, are you planing on doing something for her? "
" Yes " I simply said.
Her eyes lighten up with excitement and joy " Really? What? "
" That I can not say, it's a surprise for her so, I'm sorry " I apologized
" That's okay, as long as you make her happy. " She patted my shoulder and walked to the living room with a grin on her face. I followed her.
I looked at Ella and saw her... Hand wrestling her father?
That ma girl.
I sat next to Ella and Ian looked at me, pissed ,that caused him to loss concentrate so Ella took that as her chance and twisted his hand.
" And the winner is Ella " Kevin announced while lifting her arm in the air.
Me and Mary clapped for her, and she bowed her head " Why thank you "
" You just got lucky " Ian pointed out pouting.
" and you just go serve " She replied with a victorious smirk.
ouch.
" Hey guys, do you want to eat
pizza? " I asked because I'm hungry.
They all looked at me smiling " Yes " they said in union, Wow.
°°°°
Right now we are at Pizza Hot enjoying the flavors.
" When are you leaving? " Ella asked her parents.
" Sick of us already? " Mary faked a sob.
Drama.
but Fun drama.
" What no, of course not, I just want to spend my time with you to the fullest that's all. " Ella quickly replied.
Her cheeks are full of food, and that makes her look like a cute little squirrel.
" I'm kidding dear, we are here till Thursday morning " Mary laughed at Ella's reaction.
" Why so early? " Ella asked looking down.
" We love you Ella but we still have job to take care of " Ian replied while putting his hand on Ella's hand and squeeze it.
" Okay, so let's have fun now " Kevin said breaking the tension.
So we all got up and went to the nearest park.
Let me ask this, have you ever faced the same horrible situation twice?
Well everything happened with a blink of an eye.
Ella's POV
I watched in horror.
While my mom was crossing the street, a fast and I mean a really fast car came towards her.
" MOM, WATCH OUT " I screamed at the top of my lungs that grabbed a lot of people's attention. They screamed as well.
I ran to her along with my dad to move her but Rayn was faster.
Rayn was stronger.
Rayn was smarter.
It's like the time has stopped.
He pushed mom from the way and they both ended up on the rough ground.
Not moving.
