"I'm doing this for Ray. Because we once shared something and I still feel for him, even if he doesn't." Raven repeated the exact same words for the twelfth time that day. I knew for certain it was the twelfth time because I was counting and constantly replied with , "doing what exactly?"Looking at me thoughtfully for a while, she began "Ray broke my heart and got himself into something messy before moving to Florida. You're his girlfriend so I'm sure he must have told you about the not too good relationship he has with his father?" She waited for an answer but when it seemed like non was forthcoming from me, continued. "He always complained everyday about his father and when he did, I felt the hate in his words. He told me he wanted to be rid of the man, to have nothing to do with him, believe me, each and every of those night, had Ray crying in my arms, and I desperately sought out ways to help him." I nodded, trying to comprehend where this story was going. Hope she wasn't trying

I learnt the hard way that hearing the truth is something we aren't prepared for. Now that I think of it, I wonder why I kept on pressurizing him to be open with me if it was something I wasn't going to be able to face? If it was something I was going to run off after hearing like I did? The truth about one's past, hits us in so many ways, and Ray's wasn't an exception.Probably, he was right about keeping his past away from me. He was probably downcasted after watching me run away like that. I myself was embarrassed, the way I acted was childish,and even when i wanted to blame myself.Ray really had a toxic childhood. It was so bad, I wanted to tell him to shut up but couldn't, I knew it was some kind of help to him, because he was sure to feel light-headed afterwards. When he told me how he'd met Raven and the whole shit with Tim, I couldn't resist hugging him. It wasn't a rehearsed speech, it was exactly like Raven had said it. He was everything but weak wasn't one of those things

Truth.Satiation only comes when you're with the right person. Truth? Yeah. I'd fallen asleep in Ray's arms, tired and satiated after we'd done it for the third time last night.I stood in the kitchen wearing Ray's shirt and hung loosely on my thigh and relieving the moment. I shivered remembering how Ray woke me up this morning before he returned to continue with his sleep.That Moment is something that's etched on my mind. I don't think I'll ever forget.I turned on the coffee maker and grabbed my cup when it was ready. Turning, I jerked and spilled my coffee when I came in contact with a naked Ray. "Why are you naked?' I asked, blushing."I came to get you to bed." He replied, sleepily. "Morning babe." He kissed my cheeks. "You made coffee.""Yes. I can fix you a cup." I replied, still not looking at his face, "I just didn't want to disturb you seemed like you were having a beauty sleep."He grinned, sitting on the kitchen counter. "Sure, fix me a cup."The tension was unbearable ma
