Ray and Neela arrived at the restaurant, it was a beautiful new place a few minutes away from where there first apartment was.

"Wow, Ray this is our old neighborhood."

"Yeah, it's changed a bit."

They walked into the Restaurant; Ray told the hostess her name.

"Dr. Ray and Neela Barnett"

"Yes, I see your names follow me please."

"Thank You"

They were about to order their food when Neela turned to Ray.

"Ray, so what is this thing that can make this entire situation better?"

Ray had been looking towards the door since they arrived.

"Ray, I am asking you a question, and what are you looking at?"

All of the sudden Ray had a smile on his face and when Neela turned to see she was horrified to see who was approaching them.

"Linda, hey thank you for coming." said Ray

"Hi, Ray, How are you Neela."

Neela blood started to boil, she was about to lose my mind.

"THIS IS THE REASON YOU BROUGHT ME HERE TO MEET WITH YOUR LOVER, RAY YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHY DID I EVER THINK ABOUT FORGIVING YOU. DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE THE WORD STUPID WRITTEN ON MY FACE, THAT'S IT I'M LEAVING"

"Neela, bring your voice down, you don't understand."

"NO, I DO UNDERSTAND, THIS OVER."

"Neela, wait." Said Linda "you have this all wrong Ray asked me to fly down here to talk to you."

"About what how you are sleeping with my husband?"
"Neela, I am not sleeping with Ray. We are just friends."

"Neela that is what I have been trying to tell you."

Neela was able to calm down enough to let Linda explain to her she has never slept with Ray, and that she never will. Linda told Neela about when she had called she was cleaning up the kitchen for Ray, how she told him to get some sleep because he needed it. She never meant for all this to happen to her especially over a misunderstanding. At that moment Ray's cell phone went off it was the hospital.

"I'm sorry it's the hospital I have to answer this. Excuse me I'll be right back."

Ray really did not to leave Neela and Linda alone but he needed to answer this call.

"Listen Linda, It is hard for me to believe you don't want my husband so you coming here are not going to help…"

"Neela stop! Listen I think Ray is absolutely wonderful, he is gorgeous, a brilliant doctor, and a good husband and father. I have to admit to you I did try to seduce him, and he pushed me away, he told me his family is the most important thing in his life. Nothing happened between us, the reason I was at your house was because I was worried about him, his job performance was declining and I did not want to see him lose his job because of the problems in his personal life. When I left that night I went to check on him and he was asleep and lying next to him was a picture of you and Jasmine. You love and care for your husband and I care for him too as a friend. Ray was the first to welcome me into the hospital when all the other doctors brushed me off. So I owe him a boat load of gratitude. Don't throw your marriage away Neela, that man really loves you, and his children."

Neela just sat there with no expression; she was at a loss for words.

"When Ray returns I am going to leave you two to your romantic dinner, I'm going to meet up with and old boyfriend and we are going to a bar for drinks."

"Sorry, ladies it was a patient who needed clearance. So how is everything going?"

"Everything is fine Ray, but I have to leave."

"Wait we haven't finished this."

"Ray relax Neela and I had a woman to woman talk, now go talk to your wife and I will call you guys before I leave tomorrow."

"Thanks Linda"

Neela stood up and turned to Linda.

"Yes, thank you Dr. Burke"

"You are welcome Dr. Barnett"

The ladies shook hands, and winked at each other. Neela turned to Ray and gave him a big hug nearly knocking him down with her stomach.

"Hey, what was that for?"

"Ray I am so sorry I doubted you, I was insecure about our relationship that …"

"It's okay Neela, I love you and nothing will ever change that I'm sorry for being such an asshole to you, will you forgive me."

"YES!!!"
