Chapter 4 - Today Was Suppose To Be The Day.

Tyson lay awake in his bed thinking about what he'd seen that day. He just couldn't understand it, Sam seemed so happy with Kai. So why sleep with Ray? It just didn't make any sense, he sighed in frustration unknowingly waking the person next him.

"Tyson?" asked a sleepy voice.

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"

"What's the matter?" she asks with a yawn.

"Nothing. Go back to sleep." Kissing her on the forehead.

She smiled. "I will… as soon as you tell me what's wrong."

"I was just thinking."

"Hmmm. That's always a problem with you." she jokes as she rest her head on his chest.

Tyson continued ignoring Kathryn's remark. "Tomorrow was suppose to be Sam and Kai's wedding day."

"Hmmm."

"And now because of me, Kai's goodness knows where and Sam's…" he stopped what was Sam doing? Going off with Ray? "Kath? Kathryn?" he looked down and saw she had fallen asleep. He smiled before going to sleep himself.

Max was also thinking about what happened that day but he had an added problem, and that problem being that Kai was staying with him. /-Should I tell him? Should I not?-/ finally he sat up and decided to ask the only one he could talk to about all this.
He opened the top drawer of his bedside table and took out what he wanted. He looked down at it for a few minutes before sighing and saying, "What do you think Draciel?" but he got no answer. He groaned a little before hanging his head /-Draciel's probably asleep. Something I should be doing. Tyson's so lucky to have someone like Kathryn to talk to.-/ and with that he lay back down and fell asleep still holding Draciel in his hand.
Although no one could see it Draciel was shaking his head sadly within his blade at his friend's dilemma.

Kai was sitting in the kitchen of Max's place staring down at a cup of coffee he'd made a few minutes ago. He sighed for the umpteenth time that night; did he overreact by calling the wedding off? He stared at his ringless hand, and began to wish that he never threw the ring away. At least that way he'd have something to remember her by, even if it only brought back the pain of what Tyson told him. 'You know they slept together right?' Kai felt a stabbing pain in his chest upon hearing those words again. But he didn't know which hurt more the fact that he had to find out from Tyson or the fact that Sam played ignorance when he confronted her about it. Again he sighed and again he stared down at his -now cold- cup of coffee.
What was he to do now? Live life as if nothing ever happened and that he never fell in love with Sam? No, he couldn't do that. No matter how hard he'd try to it would just eat him up inside until he'd finally crack. Perhaps it would be best if he just left completely, but then what of Kate and Ben? He had others to think about as well as himself. All this thinking was starting to give him a headache, finally he decided that he should at least try to get some sleep and headed towards the room Max had given him.

Sam was awaken by the smell of breakfast being cooked. She sleepily opened her eyes and whispered "Kai?" but as the room came into focus she found that she wasn't in her room but in someone else's the only thing was, she didn't know whose. She sat up and looked around the room hoping to see if she could figure it out by the things in the room but before she got very far the smell of cooking reached her again and decided to follow it. She followed the smell to the kitchen was surprised by what she saw, by who she saw…
"Ray?"

He turned his head instantly upon hearing her voice then smiled. "Your awake. I was just about to come and get you. Take a seat, breakfast is almost ready."

Sam did as she was told although a little confused. She was at Ray's? How did she end up here? Then her eyes grew wide as she realised something, she had been in Ray's bed! But did that mean that… they… she buried her head in her hands. No, they couldn't of, could they? Sam instantly lifted her head up when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Ray asked worriedly.

She looked him for a minute then turned away and gave a nod.

Ray sighed, "Alright then." And went back over to finish breakfast. A couple of minutes later he looked back over at Sam, she was staring down at the table looking sad, confused and worried all at the same time. Ray of course knew what was wrong with her; it was the fact that she'd woken up at his place or more to the point in his bed.

#FLASHBACK#

Sam now looked at him a single tear falling down her cheek. Ray wiped it away with his thumb without giving it a second thought.

"I don't think I love him anymore, Ray." Sam said finally answering.

A few more tears fell down her face and again Ray wiped them away.

"It's okay Sam."

"No, no it's not. He's the father of my children, how can it be okay!"

Ray sighed. "How do you know that you don't love him?"

"What?"

"I said how do you know?"

"Because… of this." She gave Ray a small kiss.

"Sam, are you serious? I thought you said…"

Sam sighed and hung her head. "I know what I said…" she sniffed "But I can't explain it any other way."

Ray gently lifted her chin so she was looking at him. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Sam snorted and turned her head away, "You're asking the wrong person."

Again Ray gently moved her head to face him. "I think I'm asking the right person." Staring into her eyes.

Sam pulled out from his grip and walked off a little way. "I should be getting back now. I-I'll see you tomorrow." She started to walk off.

"If what you say about not wanting to be part of the team is true then you won't." he states.

Sam stopped a second thinking his words over.

"At least let me walk you back before I go back to Tyson's."

Sam gave a nod and Ray walked towards her. The way back to Sam's was silent, giving each a chance to think the conversation through.

As they reached Sam's front door she turned to Ray and said, "It's kinda late. Perhaps you should stay over."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, you can sleep in the spare room."

Ray gave a nod and Sam showed him to the spare room.

"I'll be just across the hall if you need me." She turned to go.

"Sam?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you mean it earlier?" Ray asks his curiosity getting the better of him.

"If you think I kissed you because I was upset and confused then you're wrong." She said emotionless. She walked towards her room and sat on her bed her back facing the door.

Ray followed her closing the door behind him. He sat beside her and placed a hand upon her shoulder.

She looked at him face was emotionless as her voice, "I know what you're going to say, Ray. But I wouldn't of kissed you otherwise."

They looked at each other for a few more minutes before kissing passionately.

#FLASHBACK INTERUPPTED#

"Ray?" Sam says seeing Ray was staring at her.

"Hm?"

"Did we… um…" she started to say.

Ray shook his head, "No."

Sam visibly sighed with relief.

"Kai, there's something I think you should know." Max said not sure of how to continue.

Kai looked at him making Max squirm a little under his gaze.

"Uh… yesterday Tyson and I uh… saw Sam down by the river. She uh…"

"Max, just say it." Kai said getting a little annoyed.

"She was with Ray."

"I see." Was all Kai would say.

Max shook his head. "I don't you do. I think they were k-kissing." Max closed his eyes tightly waiting for Kai to shout or something but it never came. Slowly he opened one eye then the other and was surprised to see that Kai had gone, he then heard the front door slam. /-Poor Kai.-/
