As Long As You Love Me

By: Muzi Suki

It had been a while since Raye had seen Chad. He had finally told her who was before he left. He told her how he was actually a rich young man and that his parents owned a very successful company. When he left he told her how he feels about her and that he's loved her since he met her. He had to go and help run his parent's company, but he would be back to see her and to know how she felt about him. She had gotten up this morning a little nervous. Raye had plans for tonight since Chad was due back and everything was set up perfectly. She quickly did her chores and set everything out that she would need later. When she was done with that she went to go meet the girls at the arcade.

At the arcade she greeted Andrew and went over to the booth that the girls were sitting at. They spent most of the day shopping and then studying at Raye's temple. The whole day Raye was very nervous, but the girls, already knowing her plans, spent the day reassuring her that it would work.

Later in that day…

"Finally! It's getting towards evening!" Raye said almost squealing with excitement. "Chad should be coming any minute now. I'd better get ready." Raye thought out loud to herself. She started to get ready for her evening with Chad by doing what little make-up that she did wear, slipping into a sleek red spaghetti strap dress, and pulling on some matching red pumps. She finished the outfit with a matching purse that she had bought at the mall that after noon. In that purse was a tape to use later. Raye walked out into what would be considered the living room area and just then Chad walked through the door. "CHAD!" Raye yelled as she ran into his open and waiting arms.

"Hello Raye." Chad said as he wrapped his arms around her. "You ready to go!" he asked Raye as she finally pulled away.

"I had just finished when you walked in." she said while grabbing his hand and starting out the door with Chad. When they had shut the door, they got into Chad's car and started toward the restaurant they were to go to that evening.

When they got to the restaurant Chad ran over and opened her door for her. They went inside and after they were seated and had ordered they sat talking ad catching up with each other after so long apart.

"...so by then Serena was confused beyond all reason and upset about Rini's taunting. It was a riot when she finally just cracked and screamed at anyone near her." Raye said finishing a story of Serena's latest attempts to have Amy teach her math. Both Raye and Chad start to laugh.

"Well that'll teach Serena to pay attention in class." Chad stated. "Hey you've told me how everyone else is, but you neglected to tell me how things are going with you." He added.

"Things like what?" Raye asked.

"Like...what about your singing? Do you still want to be a singer and songwriter?" Chad asked. At first Raye thought he had guessed what she was going to do, but then she decided he had no clue and was just genuinely curious.

"I still want to do that, but..." she stopped.

"But what?" Chad asked.

"Well right now there's to much going on and to much on my mind." She finished.

"Really?" Chad said and his eyebrow raised.

"Yeah…" She said looking down at her lap. Then she realized what time it was. "oh if you'll excuse me I need to use the restroom."

"Alright but hurry back." He said smiling right at her. She got up from the table and walked in the direction of the restroom. Just as she was about to reach the restroom she quickly ducked off to the side and pulled the tape out of her purse.

`I hope this works.' Raye thought to herself. She walked over to the area of the restaurant that had an area set up for karaoke and handed the tape to the resident DJ and the DJ winked at Raye. Raye had planned this with him a week ago. As the DJ put the tape into the machine and as the music starts, Raye walks onto the little stage and picks up the microphone. "This is for the one who's always supported and believed in me." As she finished talking she started to sing.

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine

I'm leaving my life in your hands.

People say I'm crazy and that I am blind

Risking it all in a glance.

I don't care who you are

Where you're from

What you did

As long as you love me

Who you are

Where you're from

Don't care what you did

As long as you love me

As she sang she stared right at Chad and he was totally speechless. He couldn't believe his dream was coming true and that his Raye felt the same for him as he did for her.

Every little thing that you have said and done

Feels like it's deep within me

Doesn't really matter if you're on the run

It seems like we're meant to be.

She continued to sing the chorus and Chad had to keep himself from jumping up from his chair and wrapping her in his arms.

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows

But I guess it shows

When you look into my eyes

What you did and where you're comin' from

I don't care, as long as you love me, baby.

As she sang the chorus for the last time she thought about all the times she wouldn't admit to even having feelings for Chad and how stupid she had been back then, but as of now that had all changed. When she finished the whole song she found herself swept up into Chad's arms and into a wonderful and passionate kiss. When the kiss ended Chad let her go and took a step back. "I was hoping you felt like that." He said as he smirked and pulled a small black box out from his pocket and fell down on one knee. Raye gasps and starts to cry as she realizes what is happening. "Raye love, will you marry me?" She stands there wide eyed and crying for a minute, totally in shock. Then she snaps out of it and tackles Chad.

"YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES!" she says as she cries with happiness. The whole restaurant burst into applause as the couple goes back to their table to finish their romantic evening that promised to lead to many more yet to come.
