Chapter 18

Chaos Goin' Around

Linda opens her eyes to a room filled with the morning sun shine. Her attention is directed at the person sleeping on a chair in the corner while she got up from the bed. Linda went over to him to wake him up, "hey Ray wake up..."

He opens his eyes unwillingly as he wanted to sleep some more, "ohhh good morning Linda, sleep well?" She nodded sadly as she takes a seat on the bed, "Ray your not going to love me no matter what I do or how much I try to make you accept me, are you?"

Raymond sits in silence as he looks around the room trying to think up of an answer that won't hurt her feelings too bad. Linda sat patiently twirling her fingers when she heard Raymond sigh. "I don't know how to make it easier on you but your right. We can only be friends, I'm sorry."

What he thought would upset her greatly she actually smiled, he asked her why she is smiling. "Its ok Ray I know I won't be able to win you over but enough about me, how are you and Nancy going right now?" Linda replies.

Raymond leaned back on his chair and exhaled, "to be honest Nancy and I are pretty much over. I fell in love with her sister...I cheated on her." Linda took by surprise by something she would never thought to hear from Raymond.

"Oh my goodness you like Niki? I can't believe you Ray I thought you were a good faithful guy but I guess I was wrong. Wait, Niki is Kevin's girlfriend so she is cheating on him, you guys really messed things up." Raymond sat up from his chair, "no no I don't like Niki, its the other sister, Charmaine."

Another surprise came crashing down on Linda as her jaw dropped, "holy hell Ray you really messed things up this time. Falling in love with your girlfriend's sister and one that has the mind of a 5 year old..." Raymond leaned back down on his chair, "I know I feel really bad but Nancy doesn't know about this yet."

Linda got up from the bed as she walked over to the mirror, "I feel sorry for Nancy you stupid jerk but I hope everything works out for you guys. I'm getting hungry I'll be downstairs." After Linda left the room Raymond thought about what to do because once he leaves he will have to face all his problems again.

-

Nancy left early for work; Niki took the day off to tend Charmaine. She enters her room with her breakfast, "wake up Charm, wake up." She called setting her food down on the table. Charmaine slowly opens her swollen eyes, "morning already?"

Niki helped her sister up from her bed, "listen about yesterday night and how Nancy treated you. Don't take that to heart ok? She was mad and frustrated. I really want you to leave Ray and forget about him, you aren't meant to have love, I'm sorry..."

Charmaine turned to face the wall after what Niki said, "I am too meant for it! Me and Raymond are happy together and thats all." Niki exhaled at her feeble attemped to break them up, "oh Charmaine I only wished you know what your getting yourself into."

As Niki got up and walked towards the door, Charmaine spoke up and asked a question she didn't want to be directed at her. "Niki, yesterday Nanc called me a...a slu--t? What does that mean?" Niki turns around with a forced smile and said she is feeling faint then left her room.

-

Raymond freshened up before heading to work; on his way he pasted by his usual coffee place; who he saw inside got his attention. "Why did you ask me out here for Linda?" Asked Nancy stirring her coffee. Linda's face is grim as she inhaled and exhaled.

"I've got something to tell you Nanc, this is really important. I'm the woman Ray is cheating on you with..." Once those words reached Nancy's ears she literally spat out her coffee all over the table as she stared at Linda, "what did you just say?"

Linda gathered up more energy to repeat it again, "I'm the reason he is cheating on you." Without any warning a sharp sound echoed through the air as Nancy's hand made contact with Linda's face, leaving a stinging red mark.

Raymond's jaw dropped when he saw what happened and ran right into the coffee shop, "Nancy what did you do that for? Why did you hit Linda?!" Nancy looked at Raymond with the same look she have been giving him for the past days.

"This is the bitch you've beening cheating on me with? You've got guts Raymond Lam! I never want to see you AGAIN!" Nancy yelled then ran off to the exit. Tears roll down Linda's face as she held onto her cheek. Seeing people are staring Raymond quickly got her out of there.

-

Taking Linda back to his home where his mother can tend to her, he followed her back upstairs. Shutting the door behind them he quickly asked her about what happened, "let me get this straight, I've been cheating with you?"

Linda smiled weakly as she starts to calm down, "after hearing your situation this morning and the stress it brings you, I just want to help you lift it away. You don't want their sister relationship to be hurt so I'll take the fall."

Raymond chuckled after hearing Linda as he rests on his chair, "thanks Linda but you really didn't have to do that! Your completely innocent in this and you didn't deserve that. I've known you all my life and you always do the stupidest things. Thanks Linda."

She smiled whole heartedly as she is happy that she can help out in any kind of way. "I just hope that Nancy can recover from this. I must of hurt her feelings a lot." Linda said softly. Raymond shakes his head, "what you've done is nothing compared to the shit I've done."

"What are you going to do now? I've probably messed things up for you by doing what I did. Whats going to happen when she knows the truth?" Linda asked with concern. He shrugs as he gives it some thought.

-

Nancy rushed through the front door in tears as she made her way toward Charmaine's room. Without any kind of warning Nancy kicked her way in, scaring Charmaine causing her to hide under her quilt. She peeked through the small hole she left herself.

Nancy went beside her and hugged her tightly as her tears roll down her soft cheeks uncontrollably. Not completely aware of what is going on, Charmaine shrugged a little and returned Nancy's hug with a smile. Hearing cries and bangs from outside Niki rushed out of the bathroom.

"Oh Charmaine how can I be so stupid...to actually think your the third person...I'm so sorry, I...I didn't mean to hurt you and yell at you. I hope you can forgive me Charmy..." Nancy said while choking on her words.

"Of course its ok! I don't really understand anyway but I forgive you!" Charmaine said in a babylike tone, cracking a smile on Nancy's face. After Nancy finally let go of Charmaine, Niki comes in and drags her into her room.

"Nancy what is going on now? What happened?" Niki asked with worry. Nancy finally stopped crying but her eyes are red and swollen from it, "I found out who Ray is cheating on me with. Its Linda, how can it be her! We were high school bestfriends..."

Niki looked at her sister in confusion as she knows who the third person really is, "Linda? How can tha...I mean yes it must be her! You should forget her and win Ray back ok?" Nancy shakes her head weakly, "if I can't keep him the first time, how can I keep him again?"

"Look you must be tired, you should get some rest, I'll phone in for you that you're taking the day off." Said Niki as she slowly led her out of her room. She shut the door as soon as Nancy is out and dialed Raymond's number.

"Ray, I've just finished talking to Nanc and she says that Linda is the person your with. What the hell is going on?" Niki almost yelled into her phone. Raymond tried laughing to lighten the mood, "well you see, it is actually Linda's idea. I had no idea about it until I saw them in the coffee shop."

Niki sighed tiredly into the phone as she rested her head against the wall, "Raymond Lam you dumb idiot you have to settle everything! Your making it worse and worse because your just dragging this on." Raymond exhaled, "you are pretty nosy, but I have a plan. I'm going to gather everyone and explain it once and for all. I'll take all the heat that day."

"Ok and when is this day going to come?" Niki asked with interest. "I don't know, I'll get back to you on that when I get everything planned out, ok?" Niki agreed as she reminded him to call her first thing when he has an update about anything.

Once she hanged up on Raymond, she dialed Kevin's number. "Kev, if you have any updates or anything about what Ray have planned. Call me ok?" Kevin replied and hung up.

Nancy stood outside of Niki's room the whole time. She wanted to know what she wanted for lunch but instead heard a confusing conversation between her and Raymond. She clenched her fist tightly as she returns to her room silently.
