Passion In The Game 2

In Closing

Anthony was in the mirror as Rayna was doing his tie. 

"What are you thinking about?" she said.

"My entire life with you." Anthony said looking her in the eye.

"Why?" Rayna said tying the knot.

"Just...everything has brought me to this moment. Dedicating this to you." he said. Anthony was opening a facility for children. It would service as a shelter for women and children. He had named the facility after Rayna and today was the opening and dedication. 

"You always thought too much." Rayna said finishing his tie.

"But, you always put my mind at ease." Anthony said.

"Yeah, sometimes I felt like you'd do it on purpose." she said helping him with his cuff links.

"I would." he said smirking. Rayna playfully punched him in his shoulder. 

"Whatever." Rayna said as she turned towards the mirror. They both stared in the mirror sharing a moment. Anthony took her hand and kissed it.

"I love you." Anthony said.

"I love you, too. Forever and always." Rayna said.

Anthony was in front of his guests at the facility. There was media, friends, family and other supporters. Rayna was seated beside him and as Anthony stepped up to the podium, she gazed at him with loving eyes.

"Friends and family, thank you so much for coming out on today. Today we are dedicating this facility to my best friend, my soul mate and my loving wife, Rayna. If there is one thing that she has taught me every waking moment of both of our lives is that love is unconditionally. This woman was with me from the start and she has built me up since that one night in February. Even when I hurt this woman and mistreated her, Rayna still loved me and helped me through a hard time." Anthony said. "No one has shown me the unconditional love that Rayna has given me. And that's what this facility is about. Unconditional love. I want people who need a light in their lives to be shown love and care. Because love is the root to everything good. Love has gotten me here to this day. Not money, not football and not fame. Love got me here and I want everyone else who needs it to experience love."

Everyone began to clap. Anthony looked back and reached for Rayna. She got up and took his hand, allowing her to be brought up to the podium with him. 

"In closing, love is like light. You need it, it's essential. Love yourself and bring love to others. Find love like I did." Anthony said. Everyone stood up and clapped as Anthony and Rayna cut the red tape to open the doors to the new facility.

It was late and Rayna and Anthony were happy to be home. They laid in bed, cuddled up together. They had been through a lot together. Their relationship was as solid as stone. If someone had to pick a couple as their relationship goals, they had to pick Anthony and Rayna. They had been through the ringer and still came out with a loving relationship.

"I love you, Rayna" Anthony said.

"I know. You tell me everyday." Rayna said.

"I have to. A woman like you deserves to be told that they are loved everyday." he said playing in her arm.

"I swear you are a fool in love." she said.

"I rather be a fool in love with you than be without you." Anthony said. "You make me happy just by breathing. No one else can give me that."

Rayna leaned up and kissed him. "No one else can make me as happy as you do either."

"I can't describe how thankful I am to God that He gave me you." Anthony said. "I don't know what I did to deserve you."

The tears began to fall from Rayna's eyes. Anthony wiped her tears, kissing her cheeks. "I swear you are the only man that can make me cry like this." she said.

Anthony leaned in and kissed her. He pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Sometimes, I don't even know what to say to you, I'm so in love." 

"Then let's stop trying to find words." Rayna said. They shared another passionate kiss, leading into love making. 

In the end of this fairy tale, everything was now in it's right place. This was the ending that every couple should have. To be accomplished and happy. With there nothing else to say, we leave you with this...

The End
