Chapter 17

A Sting

Nancy returns home and as she walk pass Niki's room she heard her say Raymond's name. Interested, she presses her ear against her door. "Hey Kev, when do you think Ray will tell Nancy? He is going in really deep now. He is cheating on her, this will never end well."

A huge shock went running through Nancy's body when she heard what Niki had just said. Without waiting to find out the whole story, she kick Niki's room door open and busts in. Niki jumps up from her bed letting out a scream, "Nancy? What the..."

With teary eyes Nancy stands infront of her, "tell me it isn't true! I heard you say Raymond is cheating on her? Who is this her? Is it me?" Niki stared at her sister as she didn't want to say anything until Raymond got it out in the open.

Nancy stands perfectly still awaiting for an answer. Niki takes a deep breath, "I...I don't know what to say. This might hurt you; if Ray doesn't tell you I will. He has been seeing someone else, but who it is I cannot say cause I don't know who it is."

Not saying a single word Nancy ran into her room and hid under her quilt. Niki ran in after her as she knew how much the news have hurt her, "sis? Come on don't cry please. Love can come and go just like that; it depends if you can keep your heart to only one person. He couldn't."

Niki pulled Nancy up and held her tightly stroking her back trying to soothe her a little bit, "shhhh... don't cry, its going to be alright." Nancy tightened her grip on Niki as her tears pour uncontrollably, "why...I thought...he loved me..." She said choking in between her words.

-

The following days Nancy didn't say a thing to Raymond. She kept her distance from him and gives him the cold shoulder. Raymond tried asking Niki if anything is wrong but shakes her head, "nope sorry Ray, I guess Nanc is just having a bad week."

Raymond knocked on her door and entered. He jumps in with a immature smile, acting like a kid, "hey Nanc whats the matter? We haven't spoken a word for a good couple of days now is something the matter?" Nancy looks up at him with a cold stare sending chills up his spine.

"Please act your age Raymond Lam, this is a work place not a playground. If you got nothing important to say that is work related, please leave." Raymond looks at her being puzzled immensely by her words, "what is the matter with you?"

Nancy retained her same cold expression, "please leave and return to your work. If your wasting our company's time I'll have to let you go." He is bewildered by her words as he slowly back out of her office, "what is wrong with her?" He asked himself.

When Raymond left her office she bursted into tears as she couldn't keep her cool self anymore. Niki had a feeling that Nancy will need some support and entered her office at once. When she entered Nancy ran to her sister for comfort, "why sis? WHY!"

"Come on Nancy don't cry, you have to stay strong. Plus I don't think you want Charmaine to see you with swollen eyes do you?" At the mention of Charmaine's name something hit Nancy suddenly as she thought of what Shirley said; the picture Charmaine drew.

She broke away from Niki as she grabbed her shoulder's and look hard into her eyes, "is it Charmaine? It is isn't it?" Niki is speechless for a couple of seconds before she found her voice, "I don't know where you came up with that conclusion. I don't think it can be Charm."

Nancy pretended to agree with Niki as her suspicions grew, "of course it couldn't be my OWN sister right?" She said in an unconvincing tone.

-

Raymond walks down a dark alley late at night when a van suddenly pulled up infront of him; two familiar looking men came jumping out, throwing him in. Eddie stayed in the back with him while Doug drives, "hi master Lam, been a long time haven't it?"

Raymond looked at him carefully as he didn't panic one bit, "your the guy who hit me over the head with the gun right?" Eddie nodded proudly and unaware of what Raymond is about to do next. Without warning he gives Eddie a hard punch to the face, "thats for hitting me with a gun, why did you bring a gun? You planning to kill me?"

Eddie sat up with a red nose brighter than Rudolph the red nose reindeer's; blood trickling down from his nose. Raymond leaned against the passenger seat, "sorry Eddie but you really deserved that. Anyways how long before we get there?"

"Not long young master. You are right to punch me but please not the face next time," explained Eddie as he wiped the blood off.

-

Arriving at his home Bosco and Fala stood outside waiting to greet him, "hey Ray how are you?" Bosco asked as he gives his brother a hug then followed by Fala. "Great great...so why am I brought home this time? Another ball?"

Mrs. Lam walks up to Raymond with a smile, "hello son come on in so we can talk. Your acting like your a guest in your own home." Raymond plants himself on the couch when they went in. He noticed that the home have done some renovating.

Before a word can be said a familiar yet annoying voice came from the kitchen and echoes through the living room. Linda came running out of the kitchen and jumps at Raymond giving him a huge hug, "hi Ray, baby glad to see your home at last!"

Raymond looked at his mother wanting some answers. "Well you see son, your not getting any younger and neither is Linda. I think its time that you have yourself a family and get settled down," Mrs. Lam said looking at Linda cheerfully.

"Ohh no...ohh hell no I'm not going to marry Linda, I'm sorry but I just don't have that feeling for her. Besides I told you already I have a girlfriend," Raymond protested, getting some distance between himself and Linda. Those words coming from Raymond pierced her heart as she runs upstairs.

Raymond cursed under his breath as he ran up after Linda. When he got upstairs the only room closed is his, "hey what the hell, is she living in my room or something?" He opened the door slightly and popped his head in to scan around.

When he tried approaching her she moved away to another spot, "no leave me alone Ray, I understand perfectly that you don't like me but your mom keeps saying you do. What am I to think? I've liked you since we were kids and I end up with nothing!"

When she finally got some steam off he slowly moved towards her and wiped the tears from her face. There is a moment of silence; Linda prolonged it when she dived at Raymond, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

-

Nancy kept her silence towards Charmaine since she came back from work; no matter how much Charmaine bugs her she stays quiet. "Nanc, what is wrong? Why aren't you talking to me?" She asked as she looks at Nancy with puzzled eyes.

Making up her mind, Nancy drags Charmaine into her room and questions her. Charmaine jumps on the bed happily while waiting for Nancy, "questions? What kind of questions?" Nancy puts on a happy face all of a sudden, "answer me truthfully ok? Do you like Raymond Gor Gor?"

Without thinking Charmaine nods as she is very sure of her answer. "Have you two been spending a lot of time together when I left on my business trip?" Asked Nancy leaning in closer to her now. Charmaine nods again.

"Do you know what a third party is in a relationship? It means another person comes in between a couple and separates them! Do you know its a really bad thing to do? In fact its a damned of a thing to do and YOU! Are the third party in my relationship with Raymond!"

Charmaine backed away from Nancy when she started to get louder and louder, scaring her immensely. "Wh...y are you yelling at me? Did I do something wrong? I don't understand!" Nancy stared at her sister with hate filled eyes, "Its you! You damn slut!"

Niki ran into the room when she saw Nancy giving Charmaine a opened palm slap right across her face. It left behind a red impression on Charmaine's face as tears ran down her face fiercely. She ran into her room as Niki went up to Nancy, "what the hell is wrong with you? Why did you hit her?!"

"You know very well sis; I bet you anything that she is the person that broke me and Ray up!" Nancy yelled as tears poured from her eyes too. Niki pulled her sister into her arms; patting her head, "come on its not Charm, how can you even think that? When you calm down you go apologize ok?"

Nancy is still skeptical about Charmaine and Niki's constant defense but she nodded anyway.

Charmaine planted her face in her pillow as she can still feel the sting of Nancy's slap. She wanted to call Raymond and tell him about what have happened but she couldn't get herself up from her bed to make that call. Charmaine's tears poured even harder when she thought back to how Nancy yelled at her; slapped her.
