The moment he walked in the door the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, something felt terribly wrong. Calling out her name and not getting an answer walks to the bedroom. He stopped in the doorway, the blood in his veins turned ice cold, his heart felt as if it had stopped beating and time seem to stand still when he looked at the sight before him. Ria was packing her suitcase, he saw the tears in her eyes when she looked up at him.
"Ryan," she said, her voice low and shook. "I was hoping to be gone by the time you got home."
"Gone, where are you going?" he said, fighting back the tears.
"I don't know yet, I just have to leave."
"It's your birthday, I was taking you out to celebrate. I don't understand what's happening. I thought things were going great. We were perfect together, the s£x was great, we got along and enjoyed the same things." Pacing back and forth he ran his hand through his hair. "I get home and find you packing.
You were going to leave without telling me, no explanation, just walk away as if we never happened. Why Ria why?"
She continued packing, not wanting to see the hurt in his eyes. "It's just over, I can't stay here any longer."
In his rage he went over, yanking the suitcase threw it across the room, all the clothes scattered everywhere. "No, no I won't let you go."
"You can't stop me."
"You're not going until you tell me why."
Walking over to the dresser she picks up a small box. "This is why," she said, opening the box to show the diamond ring. "I was getting out your clothes to wear tonight when I found this. I told you not to fall in love with me."
"I never told you I was in love with you."
"Then why the ring?"
He closed his eyes, wishing now he had hidden it better, better yet, he wished he'd never bought it because now he had lost her for sure. "Alright, I am in love with you, I have been for a long time now. I wasn't going to give the ring to you until I knew you loved me too. I thought you did."
She sat down on the bed, the tears fell. "I really care about you, more than I have for anyone else. I don't believe in love or marriage, I told you that and you said you felt the same way."
Going over he got down on his knees in front of her, taking her hands in his. "I did feel the same way, that was until I fell in love with you. I know you love me, so why can't you admit it?"
Stop, just stop," she said, getting up grabs her purse and rushes out.
He caught up to her before she could open the door. "Ria wait. You can't leave me like this, it can't be over."
"Ryan please, don't make this any harder than it has to be."
"How can it get any harder? I love you more than life itself. Give us a change, give me a chance to change your mind about love and marriage. I know I can make you happy. At least stay and I'll never mention love again, we'll just go on the way we were."
Seeing his tears her own started flowing, it was killing her leaving him ...
