Chapter 45 Raven, Tim And I

• "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 to pity talk me? "My family knew I was in a relationship but didn't know the person in a particular. One day, during our family dinner, I brought up my conversation with Ray and my family became interested. When I say family, I mean, my brother and father. I thought Tim would have a solution, he always does. They're first meeting went well even though Ray wouldn't tell me about it because he came back smiling . I thought everything was smooth and settled until things fell apart. I'm only telling you this so you know what's up. So you can have an insight into what you might see. We're here." She turned off the engine.
• "This some kind of joke to you?" I looked at her in disbelief. "Why would you bring me to a strip club?"
