Chapter 10

Aftermath

Raymond pulls his car over near the beach where there wasn't anyone and loud sounds to be heard except for the soothing waves. He walks down to the beach with Linda enjoying the night wind, "so were your expectations met tonight?"

Linda smiles mischievously, "it will be if you hold my hand as we walk along the beach." Raymond paused and looks at her with a somewhat playful frown, "Linda...I told you already..." Linda entered before he finished, "yeah yeah your girlfriend I know, don't worry. I'll try my best not to break you guys up alright?"

He chuckles at her childlike behaviour which made him suddenly think about Charmaine. Out of no where she came into his mind and he thought to himself what might she be doing right now. Linda snaps her fingers infront of his face trying to bring him back to reality.

"Miss your girlfriend already? Don't feel bad Ray, she won't know about tonight...maybe who knows I tend to say things that I shouldn't..." Linda moves her eyes left and right waiting for an reply from Raymond. "Man you are so difficult! I'll take you on a day of shopping alright? On Tuesday ok?"

Linda nodded, "yay! Another date weeeeeee!" She starts dancing around like a kid, which again made Raymond think back to Charmaine.

Shirley still mad that Nancy didn't believe her walked by the beach that Raymond and Linda are on right now. When she saw them she quickly hid behind something and smiled devilishly. Pulling out her cell phone she took some pictures of the two together and sent them to Nancy.

"Come on Linda, its getting late. 3:00 am is coming so I better get you home soon before your parents calls the cops," Raymond said as he rushes Linda back into his car.

-

When Nancy received the pictures she didn't believe what she saw at first but after taking a closer look she is sure it is Raymond and another woman. She puts down her phone as she sits down in bed wondering what Raymond would be doing with this woman.

She dialed his number, "hello Ray where are you right now? Its so late and you haven't called me all night." Nancy said in a weak voice. Raymond thought that telling lies would be bad for their relationship if she found out somehow so instead he said he would explain in person tomorrow.

After she hung up she collapsed down onto her bed with a angry and unpleasant look on her face.

-

Charmaine answers the door and appeared a wide smile on her face when she saw Raymond, "Raymond Gor Gor!" Yelled Charmaine as she pulled him down to her height to hug him, "hello Charmaine how have you been?"

Before she answers his question Nancy came in and pulled Raymond into her room and slammed the door shut. She pushed him down on the bed, "ok so we're here face to face, what do you have to say?" Raymond thought that something is wrong since she came on so strong.

"Come on answer me Raymond Lam! I don't have all day just say it." He takes in a deep breath before be began, "remember how I told you I needed to do something personal yesterday. It was actually a dance and I was told to take this girl as my date to the damn thing."

Nancy is getting more angry and impatient by the second, "so you call taking another girl to a dance something personal?" He thought carefully about what to say next, "ok you seem mad I'm being totally honest with you right now. I was forced, I didn't want to go. It was my mom's idea."

Nancy took her phone out, opened up the pictures that were sent to her and threw her phone at Raymond, "forced? You seem pretty happy for a forced man." He stood up abruptly, "what the hell Nancy you had someone follow me? What you don't trust me now?"

"I never told anyone to follow you! It was Shirley who told me she saw you with another girl on Friday shopping for clothes. She said you two were pretty GOOD friends. Those pictures were taken by her, she said that who she saw in the clothing store is the same person in the picture."

Raymond sat back down on the bed less angry now, as she never planned to have someone follow him, "tell me this. Do you trust me?" Nancy's face softened and nodded, "you know I do I've never doubted you once in my heart. But those pictures..."

"Bullshit to those pictures! I swear there is nothing between me and her, we are just friends. And Shirley needs a talking to on Monday. Can we just, please forget about these pictures and this whole thing?" Raymond pleaded as he tries to solve this.

Giving off a short sigh Nancy nodded. Raymond extended his arms out to her so they can have a make up hug, "I'm sorry Nanc I should be more honest. Sorry if I made you worry the whole night. Never again will that happen." Raymond said in a soft soothing voice and gave her a kiss on the top of her head.

-

Raymond stood around in the streets waiting for Linda to arrive. He takes a look at his watch as he starts to get impatient and all of a sudden a pair of hands covers his eyes, "guess who?" Asked the obvious voice.

He exhaled as he removed the hands from his eyes, "what took you so long Linda? I've been waiting here for an hour." She pretended to pout acting innocent, "the traffic is hell that is why it took so long. Sorry RayRay."

He shook his head and started into the mall, "well where do you want to start?" Linda didn't even have to think and starts pulling him around. One store after another they ran and ended up with bags of clothing that even the two of them together can't hold them all.

Nancy and her co-workers strolled around the same mall that Linda and Raymond are in and suddenly one of them gave Nancy a hard pat on the back, "Nanc look! Its Ray with another woman look at how happy they are together. Look at all those bags in their hands. What a shopping spree!"

They all hid behind something as they spied quietly on them. "Oh hey hold up RayRay, there is something on your face...there we go, you look better now!" Nancy's grip tightens more and more as she watches her boyfriend being so 'friendly' with another woman. Something she noticed is that the woman looks quite familiar.

"What are you going to do Nanc? Should we go out and expose him for the cheat he is?" Suggests one of her co-workers. She shakes her head trying to hold in all her emotions, "no he promised me that he would be more honest to me. I don't want to embarrass him in public like this."

Her co-workers looks on with empathy towards Nancy, "poor girl..."

-

When Raymond entered his front door he saw Nancy and them sitting on the couch with a very serious look. He walked up to them feeling a bit uneasy, "soooo whats the occasion?" Nancy stood up and walked over to Raymond, "where were you today? You left work early what happened?"

In his mind Raymond is thinking of telling the truth or a lie but either option he chooses hes going to have hell to pay. "Me? I was with...now don't get mad, I was with the same girl from Saturday night." His throat feels dry and his palm getting sweaty, he is waiting for what is coming next.

"So your excuse to get out of work early is you got some personal things you've got to take care of but you are actually going out on a date with another woman!?" Raymond quickly shakes his head and his hands, "whoa...no no not a date I was just fulfilling a promise."

"Yeah fulfilling a promise for a date! Who is this bitch? What kind of benifits is she giving you that you are so 'good' to her?" Yelled Nancy as she is beginning to lose her temper. Starting to feel a bit defensive Raymond shot back, "SHE ISN'T A BITCH! Look she is just an old friend of mine and she means absolutly nothing to me!"

Taken aback by Raymond and him defending this unknown woman Nancy was completely silent. Things quiet down because of that as Raymond walked up to Nancy and took hold of her hands, "my tone of voice just now was a bit unnecessary and I'm sorry. But Nancy you've got to believe me we weren't on a date."

Nancy inside her own mind thinks again and again whether or not to just forgive and forget, "I...I guess I'll believe you, but just this last time ok?" Nancy said as a smile appears on her face and Raymond's heart stop beating so quick, "its late now who wants dinner? Me and Kev will get you guys dinner you three wait here!"

*
Returning back to the base of their building with food in their hands Raymond saw Charmaine alone in the lobby. Raymond piles all that he is holding onto Kevin and rushed over to her, "Charmaine why are you down here? Where are your sisters?" He asked in a panic

She smiles back with a comforting smile, "I told Niki that I will be down here waiting for Raymond Gor Gor. Can we go to the park real fast?" Raymond stood up straight and looked at Kevin then back to her, "uhh sure...lets go."

Raymond stopped near the swings, "so what do you want to do? Its dark and its really hard to see now." Silent was the atmosphere as Raymond stood waiting for an answer and all of a sudden Charmaine leaps at him hugging him tightly. She even fell out of her wheelchair.

"Whoa what is wrong Charmaine? Why are you..." Raymond is confused by her sudden action. He sits down on the ground so Charmaine wouldn't have such a hard time, "why did you and Nancy fight today?" He rolled his eyes not really wanting to answer the question.

Charmaine didn't pressure for an answer but stayed on the ground along with Raymond. She enjoyed the moment spent with him so much that she fell asleep in his arms, "Raymond Gor Gor...Raymond..." Said Charmaine softly in her sleep.

Raymond didn't feel like picking up Charmaine and taking her back upstairs as something inside of him kept him from destorying this peaceful moment. He stares down at her feeling a bit hot inside.
