A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews, I don't know how I feel about this story anymore, were its going etc. Let me know what you all think

The next night

"Wow Abby, you look great, you do know that we're only going to Ray's gig"

"Yeah I know, but there could be some good looking guys there and well it's been a while, if you know what I mean"

Neela couldn't help but laugh at the last comment, but hurried Abby up as the two of them were already running late and the cab was waiting outside

The atmosphere at the gig was great. Abby was really surprised that she was actually enjoying herself plus the fact that Ray was actually really talented and sounded amazing.

Ray looked over at Abby standing in the crowd, she stood out from every other woman there, and she was stunning. At that moment he just wanted to finish playing, so he could get over to talk to her.

Once the band finished there last song, Ray rushed off stage in an effort to get to Abby, but before he could he had to get passed the groupies, who he really couldn't care less for now, since she had stolen his heart.

"So guys what did you think?"

"We loved it" Abby replied before Neela even had a chance to process the question

"Really" Ray said while half smiling staring at Abby the whole time

"I know you probably can't believe it's me saying your good, but you really are, you're a natural"

"Well thank you miss, would you two like to go get some coffee" Ray asked the question hoping Neela would say no

"Well I can't, I've got an early shift tomorrow" Neela replied

"I'll come" Abby replied

"Well guys I'll see you tomorrow, night"

"Night Neela" they both replied

The pair of them walked down the street to a little coffee place right at the end of the road. Ray was the perfect gentleman for a change, opening doors, paying for coffee. Just little thing's but they made Abby see a softer side of Ray, a side she actually really liked.

"You're so different Ray"

"What do you mean?"

"I can't really explain, you just come off as being an asshole at work, but out here, right now, I like this Ray Barnett. You suit being like this Ray"

Ray couldn't think of how to reply, so he just looked deep into her eyes, to convey he liked what she'd just said.

The two of them left the shop and Ray walked Abby back to her apartment. The pair chatted the whole way, and never seemed to run out of anything to say, everything just flowed so naturally. They arrived at Abby's apartment and both knew the evening was coming to an end. Surprisingly for Abby she really didn't want it to end.

"Well this is me" Abby said as she turned towards the door

"Well I guess this is goodnight" Ray said staring deeply into her eyes

Abby looked through her bag for her keys, the whole time her mind racing all she could think about was how badly she wanted Ray to kiss her. At that same time this was all Ray could think about as well and he knew it was now or never.

"Abby" he said as she turned, he pulled her in close to his body and kissed her, the kiss was full of intensity and passion and both of them never wanted it to end but Abby finally broke away and unlocked her door, only turning to say goodnight to Ray.

Ray just stood looking at the door for a few minutes, the only word that came to his lips at this moment was "wow"
