It's been a while...so, I hope you're still interested in this fanfic...

Ch17

Tavia: Well, since you’re here we might as well go in.

Raymond: That’s the spirit

Tavia and Raymond walked into the Concert Hall together; the symphony was ready and as the conductor strikes his baton music was in the air. Both were actually fans of classical music, even though they wouldn’t admit it like Ron would they knew they enjoyed it.

Raymond: I always wanted to learn how to play the piano.

Tavia: That’s nice to know.

Raymond: I always wanted to play a special song for the one I loved. I think expressing the way you feel in form of music is much better than in words.

This was something Tavia could agree with, but she didn’t want to let him know that she would actually agree with him. She just sat there in silence listening to the great music of the classical era.

Raymond: I guess you’re just not listening to me speak cause you’re thinking of Ron.

The name Ron really caught her attention.

Tavia: What?

Raymond: Why do like Ron?

Tavia: Because I do.

Raymond: why not me?

Tavia: You and Ron are two different people, he’s nice, sweet and gentle and you’re just you.

Raymond: What’s that suppose to mean?

Tavia: You’re not boyfriend material.

Raymond: That’s an insult.

Tavia: Hey, you wanted to know what that meant.

Raymond: But you didn’t have to be so frank.

Tavia: Sorry.

The concert ended and the two walked out of the concert hall, even people on the streets felt the tension between the two.

Raymond: I’ll drive you home.

Tavia: No need.

Raymond: Fine.

Tavia quickly walked off, her feet were sore from the high heels that made her body look fantastic but extremely uncomfortable. As she quickly walked off she tripped and sprained her ankle. She sat on the side and rubbed her ankle that was now swollen.

Raymond saw what happened and walked over to her. He bent over and gave her a hand.

Raymond: need help? (He extended his arm)

Tavia grabbed hold of his hand and struggled to get up.

Raymond: I told you, let me drive you home.

Tavia didn’t give a reply; she was struggling to stand on her own. Raymond put his arm around her waist and was guiding her to his car. Along the way a cool breeze blew that made her shiver, Raymond being a gentlemen took off his coat and placed it on her shoulders.

Raymond: Women, never thinking about the weather.

When they got to his car he opened the door for her and helped her get in making sure that she doesn’t hit her head and stuff like that. Finally Tavia saw the side of Raymond that she never has ever before. She was wrong about him after all. He was as sweet as Ron, as observant as Ron and he was as thoughtful as Ron as well.

~Back to Ron and Linda~

Ron: then who locked the door this morning?

Linda: My brother.

Ron: Where’s your brother now?

Linda: Working, he’s usually home at 11.

Ron: well what are we going to do?

Linda looked at Ron in a very strange and devious way.

Ron: I don’t like that look.

Linda: We shouldn’t let all of this fresh food go to waste…so I was thinking…

Ron: what?

Linda: If I could cook at your place?

Ron: I knew there was a catch! I guess you can.

Linda hugged him, which made him feel very awkward actually he felt something.

Linda: Let’s go!

The two of them carried all of the grocery bags back to Ron’s car, placed them in the trunk and drove to Ron’s place.

~Ron’s place~

Linda walked in holding several grocery bags followed by Ron.

Linda: It’s a really nice place.

Ron: Thanks.

Linda: For a guy living alone it’s really neat and tidy.

Ron: Thanks.

Linda: Can’t you say anything else other than thanks?

Ron: The kitchen is that way, and I’m going to go and get changed.

Linda carried the bags into the kitchen and began working, while Ron went to get changed.

Linda struggled to turn on the stove.

Linda: Ron! Where’s the “on” button?

Ron was still half naked (topless) when he came out to show her how to turn it on.

Linda was staring at HIM rather than the stove.

Ron: that’s the button and you should know how to do the rest.

Linda: What?

Ron: I said that’s the button and you should know how to do the rest.

Linda: Right.

Ron started laughing: Seems to me like your checking me out.

Linda blushed: In your dreams!

Ron: Well, you know things can happen…

Linda felt her heart pounding harder as he got closer to her…

Ron started laughing: You look terrified, am I that scary?
