Operation "G.T.F.O."

[Matrim Gallagher]

Meanwhile, we join our hero....

Matrim was at the back of the house humming an old song of his dads. Looking at the nice view the house had of the nearby beach. He wondered what he would be doing with his life, him and Reira together again. They had their own house, they were going to get married soon, all of it. So he fiddled with his ring as he thought about this. He was in a good mood, no matter what Travis said or did, there was something about having Reira back that just... it made him more invincible than his shield ever could.

"God I am so going to marry that girl," Matrim said to himsel. He could have sworn he heard raised voices so his ears perked and his face turned fast, too fast in fact that he hit his face against the corner of the particular walls of the house. He shut up after moaning in pain, hearing voices get quieter he relaxed a bit more. Still, he stayed seated, focusing his Qi should he need it, but something told him that Travis wasn't about to attack Reira. At least, he hoped he wouldn't do that. Because then he would be forced to kill him.

Nobody hurts Rei and gets away with it.... mostly because she can kick some ass herself too.

Matrim then leaned back a bit, his butt sliding forward and his shoulders hunching a bit against the wall. He put his ring back on and was now tapping his finger tips against his chest, knowing that Reira wanted to do this herself. He'd have to apologize to her for rushing this. But he was showing a lot more restraint right now then he normally did. And that was something at least.

Reira stepped outside her front door. Almost immediately she had to turn her face to the side and close her eyes from the blinding sunshine. Holding her hand in front of her, she tried to block the stream of the warm sun. It took awhile, but eventually her eyes adjusted and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was her outstretched hand--her ring shining marvelously in the sun. That brought a soft smile to her face.

She couldn’t help it, but looking at that ring and what it symbolized made her mind swim with thoughts of the future. Everything was right now. A certain feeling overwhelmed her, one that she only got when she thought of Matrim. Man, she loved him. Placing her hand back to her side, she walked down the side of the house, a very happy air about her.

Right now, all she wanted to do was spend time with Matrim. She didn’t care what they did, as long as she was with him. Turning the corner, she grinned when she saw that foot of his stick out. She resisted the urge to just run the rest of the way and scare him, but she guessed he could probably hear her. Reira wasn’t the most quiet person.

“It’s done, he’s leaving today,” she said, turning the corner and sitting beside him. She brought her knees up and put an arm around them. Her eyes on his face. “I’m just glad its over, now you can I can finally start planning that wedding of ours!” A smile spread across her lips then. This topic always made her all excited.

Placing her head on his shoulder, she stared at the scenery before her, just happy to be there, with Matrim.

“It’s done, he’s leaving today, I’m just glad its over, now you can I can finally start planning that wedding of ours!” She said. He had heard her come toward the back and he was glad that she had done this. He knew it was hard on her, and he felt like a jerk. But at the same time, he didn't. He felt bad that he asked Reira to do something, but felt no pity for Travis. He was done with that, he was done with that the second he made himself a punching bag. That was his way of washing his hands of Travis. Now it could just be him and Rei.

She put her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his left arm arm around her shoulders, turning his head toward her and kissing the side of her forehead, "Yeah, which by the way reminds me...." He pulled out his wallet with his right hand, opening the trifold with his hand, and then setting it down on his thigh he pulled his credit card out. The black card with the minimum spending limit, "Don't know if I ever told you about this... I gave it to Aternity when we needed.... when Alex needed a.... a coffin. But, I have to spend 250 thousand a year just to hold on to it. And I want you to take it for the wedding. Anything you want, buy it. Price is no issue, what so ever. Your dream wedding, whatever it may be, I want you to have it. And I'll help you and if you want my opinion or advice I will give it. Otherwise, whatever you want, it's yours."

And than he handed the card over to Reira with a smile on his face. Because he knew she like other girls probably had a dream wedding. And it wasn't like every girl got hers, but Matrim would make sure that Reira did.

[Reira DeMorvick]

Reira watched intently as Matrim pulled out his shiny black credit card. She remembered seeing him use it once with the purchase of Alex’s coffin. It reminded her a lot of the card her Uncle gave to her, course that one was off limits for the most part and Matrim’s was just better. Eyes on him, she listened to him speak.

“…But, I have to spend 250 thousand a year just to hold on to it. And I want you to take it for the wedding. Anything you want, buy it. Price is no issue, what so ever. Your dream wedding, whatever it may be, I want you to have it. And I'll help you and if you want my opinion or advice I will give it. Otherwise, whatever you want, it's yours."

Her eyes widened slightly. Was he serious? Anything she wanted? Reira almost couldn’t accept it. Yes she had a dream wedding envisioned in her mind, but to actually have the ability to make it happen, it was almost too good to be true. Did she even deserve this? A smile spreading across her lips she went full out and hugged him tightly. She was just so damn happy right now. Not to mention very, very excited. She couldn’t wait to marry him, to get rid of her last name that she hated and replace it with his.

“Oh Matrim, I love you!”

Reira leaned in and kissed him.
