Ray is in love!

Chapter 27__Is this the right time to notice a rival?

Ray went after Dorris but she entered a cab before he could even catch up with her. He brought out his phone, dialling her phone number but she is not answering the call. Ray knew she is really pissed and decided to wait for her to calm down first.
He saw Melinda's call and he pick up.
"Are you busy?",  she asked.
" No", he replied.
"Let's eat dinner then",  she said.
Ray entered the restaurant and Melinda is already waiting.
" Sis,  I'm sorry for keeping you waiting", he said.
Melinda smiled.
"It's okay",  she said.
Ray sat down.
" How is your girlfriend doing? ", she asked.
Ray pick up the menu.
" She's good ", Ray simply replied. He called on the waiter.
" You look stressed. I've you been working overtime?", Melinda asked.
"No. I'm just sorting some things out",  Ray replied.
" Okay. All is well", Melinda said.
She could tell that he is in a foul mood.

After dinner, they walk out of the restaurant.
"Ray, you have to be strong. Take care of yourself better. You need to be alive and healthy for you to be able to function well", Melinda told him.
"Okay, sis. Thanks"
"Sis, you should go on dates",  Ray suddenly put in
Melinda stopped in her tracks.
" You have to move on with your life anyway. There is nothing tying you down with my brother. Just think of it as a break up and you will be able to move on quickly ", Ray said.
Melinda turn to Ray.
" Your brother didn't break up with me and if he were alive, he wouldn't. No matter the circumstances,  he would have kept me by his side. I just could not move on_maybe after he fades away from my memory", Melinda said.
Ray nods.
"I just want you to know that you're not getting younger. If you find someone nice, go ahead and live your life. I'm sure this is what my brother will want. He will want you to shine brightly like you used to",  Ray told her.
Melinda smile.
" Ray, Thanks and take better care of your self", she said and walk away.
Ray knew she will cry again. Her relationship with his brother is so deep. Ray hopes she will be able to move on quickly.

Dorris drank herself to stupor.
She  can't believe Ray lied to her. She was already in the lobby when she saw his message. She was about to leave when she saw an old school mate. The man greeted her and told her he works in the company. She had just finished talking to the man when Ray came out of the elevator.
Is Ray seeing Ava now? Before, Dorris did not mind Ava because she thought Ray is not interested in her. Who knew she was actually wrong.
Ava is beautiful, she look gorgeous, she is a fashionista and she has a good background. She was even the woman his parent chose for him. Ray and Ava are very compatible unlike her. She had no good background,  no sense if fashion_she probably had but where is the money she will need to be a fashionista?,and she was just an upcoming artiste.
Dorris felt bad. She didn't know seeing Ray with another woman could make her feel this awful.
Her phone rang.
It's guy calling.
"Guy, .......".
Guy rushed into the bar and look around for her. He saw he in a corner. He rushed to her. "What happened, Dorris?", he asked.
" Guy,  my Guy", Dorris said stuttering.
She's drunk.
"Why did you drink so much, eh?",  he asked.
" I downed so many bottles. I'm becoming a drinking champion", she drawls.
Guy shook his head.
Never give Dorris alcohol.
"Let's get you home",  he said.
" No, I want to go and tear that bitch face", she said.
Guy ignored her and carried her.
"I'm not a kid. I can walk on my own",  she said drawling.
" let me just carry you ", Guy insists.
" I want to be born rich in my next live", she said almost in a whisper.

Ray was in front of the Dorm when he saw guy come down from a taxi with Dorris. He scooped Dorris in his arms after paying the taxi driver.
Ray knew she is drunk. She must be so sad and disappointed. That is when Ray noticed the way guy is looking at Dorris.
That gaze? Ray know it very well.
Is this the right time to notice a rival?
Ray sigh. He wanted to talk to Dorris but he knew he won't be able to.
He got into his car and drove to De glory club after calling Harry to meet him there.
Ray walk straight to their usual private room. There are some second generation heirs there. They all stop what they are doing when the saw him.
"It's Ray Dalton"
"Who invited him?",another guy asked.
" isn't this Ray?", one of the ladies accompanying  the men asked.
"So hot",  Another lady said.
" Did he want to seat with us?",
Ray closed his eyes. He is really pissed to see the brats using the room.
"Vacate the room",  he told them.
" Yes, young master Dalton", they said and begin walking out.
"Take all your trashes along!",  Ray yelled.
Ray is really vexing. He is so angry. Why did Ava have to spoil his day? He should have been in that resort with Dorris having a good time. Then he will propose to her again.
That was his plans for the day if the first snow. That is what he wanted to do.
Harry entered the room and saw Ray already drinking.
" I didn't want to come out", Harry sat sitting down. He pour himself a drink.
"Why would you be in a bad mood, uhn.?",  Ray asked.
" You were in a bad mood the other time and I listened to you. You have to listen to me too", Harry said.
"Go on. I will listen",  Ray told him. Perhaps,  he was too sad to argue.
" I fucked up. I accuse harley of seeing a guy when she is still with me. The guy turned out to be her friend and he is married. Now,  she was angry I put a eyes on her. I should not have asked someone to watch her. And come to think of it,  I only did it once. What do I do?", Harry asked.
"You're really a loser. Your situation is better than mine",  Ray said.
" My girlfriend,  my Dorris.... She saw..... She saw me with another Lady ", Ray drunk stammered and start crying.
" I will cry with you. Let's cry together so it will be less shameful", Harry said.
