On Saturday morning, Ray jumped out of bed. This was going to be
the day. He put on his best suit, the one he had bought most
recently for this very occasion. Dashing down the stairs, Ray
hopped in his car and raced like a jet all the way to his
hopefully new father-in-law to be. Ray walked up to the door and
knocked with his heart in his hand to ask him a question. Ray
knew Blaire's father was an old fashioned man.
When the door opened Ray began to plead, his hands extended in
front of him as he began "Can I have your daughter for the rest
of my live, Say yes! Say yes! Because I need to know." and Joe,
knowing Ray's past of being involved with drugs and gangsters
callously replied "You'll never get my blessing til the day I
DIE! Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!" Ray drew back,
retracting his hands to his chest as he looked at this man. Just
as Ray was about to abandon his quest for the hand of his love,
She appeared behind her father, watching him, her blue pools
widening as she witnessed her man nearly turn and leave her
there.
A spark ignited in Ray, he Turned back, Slammed his foot to the
ground and replied, his chest bulging in front of him, his feet
planted into the dirt as he retorted. "Why you gotta be so
ruuuude! Don't you know I'm human too? Why you gotta be so
rude!?" Taking a step forward, Ray lifted his finger towards the
face of the man, growling gently. "I'm gonna marry her anyway!"
Joe was taken a-back by this statement, shocked by the
forcefulness of this boy on his lawn. "Marry that girl?" Joe
said as he flung his finger in his daughters direction. "Marry
her anyway!" Say Ray "No matter what you say!" Taking another
triumphant step forward. "And we'll be a family!" Ray pointed
between himself and Joe and then Took a step back.
He remained strong as he gave his explanation. "I hate to do
this, you leave no choice. I can't live without her. Love me or
hate me we will be boys standing at that alter. Or we will run
away. To another galaxy if we have to. You KNOW she is in love
with me! She will go any where I go!" Exasperated, Ray asked
once more, begging the man once again to give them blessings.
"So can I have your daughter for the rest of my life, say yes,
say yes because I need to know." And Joe, still in shock, once
again said "I said you'll never get my blessing til the day I
die, Thought luck, kid, but the answer is still NO!"
Ray, all but broken, replied once more "I'm gonna marry her
anyway!" Just then Blaire slipped past her father's looming
frame, grabbed onto Ray's hand and ran with him to his car, they
disappeared in the smoke of burning tires and sweet romance. Joe
could all but get to the curb before Ray and Blaire were nothing
more than a black dot on the horizon.
