Their kiss is passionate... she breaks the kiss and rests her forehead on his.

"Thank you, sweetheart, I love you!"

"I.. I..."

Dylan laughs.

"It's fine, take your time to practice it.. I can wait until it's used to you!"

She nods. Dylan walks towards the dinning table, Olivia looks at the table and her eyes bulge out.

"Smells delicious!"

"Yeah, let's taste it..."

He helps her sit down on a chair and sits next to her.

"... we have a lot of wine to go with these delicacies!"

Olivia sniffs deeply and sighs.

"Let's dig in!"

Stacey's POV

My eyes connect with the wall clock... It's reading, 7:29pm!

I groan and stare back at the dishes I made, they are getting cold... I tried our mind-link again but it's still blocked.

I pick up my phone and tries his number again and still couldn't reach him.

What's happening?! Where's Ray?! I questioned myself worriedly.

Ding ding ding! I hear the doorbell rings, I get up and rushes towards it.

"Who's there?" I asked holding onto the knob.

"Luna, it's me Karl!"

I quickly open the door and frown when I see Ray resting on him... like he's fallen asleep on Karl.

"Come in, quickly!" I ushers him in.

He steps in dragging Ray along, he heads upstairs to our room without asking for direction.

I follow behind him. He steps into our room and lays Ray on the bed, I take off his shoes and jacket.. then covers him with a blanket.

He reeks of alcohol... I knew instantly that he's been drinking!

"Karl, what happened?" I asked.

Karl stares at Ray and sighs.

"You can talk to him about it when he wakes up... Just let him rest now!"

"Talk to him about what?" I asked.

"You'll know when he wakes up!" He simply replies and head out.

I wanted to see Karl off, but Ray suddenly catches my hand and pulls me... I fell on him.

"Ray, what are you doing?"

He laughs. And here I am thinking he's asleep.

"I'm holding... My.. my baby!" He hiccups.

I try to get off him but he throws his arm tightly around my waist.

"You.. you lied to me, baby!"

"I lied to you?" I asked.

He nods slowly.

"You lied... You lied to my face!" He said.. sounding a bit serious.

What did I lie about? Wait.. can I take a drunken man's words seriously?

Maybe I should just ask him what I lied about.

"Ray?"

"Hmm?" He hums.

"What did I lie about?"

He stares at me sleepily, or maybe it's because he's drunk that I feel he's sleepy.

"You don't know...?" He asked.

I shake my head.

"I'll... I'll.. tell you, baby, you... you... lied a-about...."

He didn't finish his words before he fell asleep. I sighed.

Great! Just great!

I was waiting for him to come home so we can have dinner together... but here he is, drunk!

Dead drunk!

I guess I'll just eat alone! I get off him and head downstairs.

Next morning...! 8:00am...!

I stare at myself in the full length mirror next to my dresser.. a smile appears on my face.

I'm dressed in a black, tight gown that stops right at the top of my knees... I wore white ballerina flats and carried a small bag.

I hear Ray clears his throat behind me and I turn.. he's awake and resting his head on the headboard.

His eyes move along my body and he looks away... I move closer to the bed and sits next to him.

He rubs his forehead and groans.

I reach for the aspirin I place on the nightstand and hands it to him.

"Here, it will cure your hangover!"

He looks at the aspirin in my hand and shakes his head...he frowns slightly.

"Come on, don't tell me you're scared of drugs!" I chuckle.

"Take it away!" He said simply.

"No, you need it to get rid of your hangover!"

He glares at my hand briefly before pushing it away, making the aspirin fall into a corner... I couldn't even see where it fell into.

"I said I don't want it!" He growls.

I sigh.

"What's wrong? Did something happened yesterday?"

He ignores me.

"You came home drunk last night and Karl brought you back, I asked him about it but he said I should talk to you... So, what happened?" I asked.

He was so wasted last night and I really wanna know what him drank so much.

"Nothing!" He said in a kinda cold voice.

"Nothing? Then did you just decided to get drunk for nothing?" I asked again.

He doesn't reply me. Hmm.. I know something is bothering him.. but I'm not gonna force him to say it since he doesn't wanna.

"Fine, don't tell me. I made breakfast for you, it's in the dinning table.. freshen up and go eat if before it gets cold!"

No reply, not even a grunt from him. I get up and adjust my dress... I pose in front of him.

"Ray, I'm going out, what do you think about my outfit?"

He stares at me and look away without saying a word.

"Is it beautiful?"

"Hmm!" He simply hums.

I smile. "I'm going out of town today!"

He snaps his neck towards me and opens his mouth to speak.. but he suddenly stops himself, like he just remember something.

He leans back on the bed and nods.

I narrow my eyes.

"Are you letting me go?! You don't wanna ask what I'm going to do outside?! Or whom I'm going with?!" I asked.

He shakes his head.

"Or who I'm going to meet?!"

He shakes his head again. I narrow my eyes again, this is strange... Ray is acting a bit strange.

"Are you ok, Ray?"

"Just go!" He said.

I wanna argue with him, I wanna provoke him into telling me what's wrong...but that will just make me delay aunt's appointment.

"Fine! We'll talk about this when I get back, gotta go!" I said.

I lean down to kiss him but he moves his head away and get off the bed... He walks into the bathroom and slams the door shut.

Wait... Why do I feel like he's giving me a cold shoulder?!

Anyway, we'll talk when I get back!
