I did not know what to do. I just stared at her like a dumb idiot drooling over on a beautiful woman. Trinity Hearthrow was a perfect siren - a tempting beautiful siren. She was wearing a blue flowery dress that compliments her white rosy skin and her black hair was tied in a neat pony tail. She did not wear too much make up but just a light pink blush on both of her cheeks and red luscious lipstick on her lips and I could not believe that she is real. I always thought that she was just a fragment of my imagination – my secret past. But here she is talking with Wally and even laughing at his corny jokes.

When I heard her laughter, it stirred an unexpected memory that it made me felt uneasy and anxious. I closed my eyes and massage my temple as I tried to suppress these surfing emotions. I could sense that Wally was staring at me and then I heard his worried voice calling my name.

"Dude what's up with you?" I opened my eyes and looked at him. I calmed myself before I said something

"Nothing" I lied. "Just thinking about work" I assured him. But I knew he was not convinced and was about to say something when his mobile rang. "Excuse me for a moment" He first glanced at me before he answered his phone and left me alone with Trinity. We sat there with an awkward silence between us. The minutes seem like eternity and as each seconds passed by my uneasiness grew and it felt like hell.

She continued drinking her coffee while I tried my best to control my frustrated feelings by ignoring her. After a few moments, she looked at me and said something but I did not paid much attention to any words she said. "Mr. Grayson" She called but I didn't budge. "Mr. Grayson" She called again this time she finally got my attention. "Is there something on my face since you have been staring at it for a long time?" She annoyingly asked. Unconsciously, I did not realize that I kept staring at her. I knew I offended her and I could sense that she was different when she was with me.

"Sorry" I sincerely apologized "I was just thinking about milk" I added. She looked at me like I am a nutcase and I was trying to lift up the mood because she looked tense, nervous and somehow frightened but it did not work; it made the situation worst. 'Why did I say that' I thought grimly. We fell to another awkward silence. After a few minutes, I could no longer stand the silence between us so I decided to say something but Wally came back to our table.

"Sorry about that" he apologized "Shall we continue?" She nodded. She got a clear folder from her bag and gave it to Wally. "We were talking about the different themes of the wedding" She answered and gave her full attention to him once again. During the meeting she answered every question that Wally asked but she completely ignored me. Then I noticed that her mood shifted from a depress EMO girl to a princess who was rescued by her prince. She was smiling, relaxed and comfortable when Wally was around. And for odd reason I felt jealous with my best friend and this was something new to me because I am not a jealous type of person. It irritated me because I want her to feel comfortable and relaxed around me like she is right now with Wally. Out of annoyance I yanked the folder from Wally and he gave me a death glare but I just ignored him.

They continued their conversation while I browsed the different wedding theme pictures. There were a garden theme, fairy tale theme and the most ridicules theme ever was the pirate theme

"The groom looks like Jack Sparrow" I commented pointing at the groom who was wearing a complete pirate assemble as I contained my laughter.

"I feel sorrow for that dude" Wally said, he worriedly looked at the picture again and then asked." Do we have to choose one of these themes?"

"No it depends of what kind of theme that the couple decides" she explained " And if you have decided on the theme that's the time we will plan the other wedding necessities like the invitation, flowers and many more" she continued.

"Maybe we could have the Young Justice theme" I sarcastically suggested. Then both eyes looked at me but Wally was unhappy when I said those words. "I've heard that they are very popular." I continued. I looked at Wally he was dangerously staring at me but I still ignored him and just continue "Wally can wear Kid Flash and I could be Robin or Nightwing" Then I felt a stinging pain on my right leg. I glared at him and he glared back. He was daring me to say something but I decided not to say any more words.

"I apologized to my friend Trinity" He calmly said "Sometimes he can be an air head" he added emphasizing the word "air head". I did not react on his comment and just gave the folder back to Trinity. She took it from me and gave me a stern look before facing Wally again.

"Its okay " Trinity replied and she started packing her things "Just give me a call if you and Ms. Artemis have decided with the theme" she genuinely smiled to Wally but fakingly smiled at me so I smirked at her. However, Wally saw it and gave me a disapprovingly glared.

"She started it" I murmured but he shook his head so I just kept my silence.

"Ok Ms. Hearthrow" Wally simply replied.

"Bye" she stood up and left the café. Afterwards, Wally released his frustrations at me and calmly asked.

"What was your problem?"

"Nothing" I shrugged.

"Then tell me what was that all about?" he angrily muttered to me trying his best not to drew any attention towards us. To be honest I really did not knew what came to me and the reason why I acted like a spoiled child. Trinity Hearthrow triggered something inside me that I could not comprehend and it confuses me.

When I did not say anything, Wally gave me a best friend lecture but I wasn't listening because something shimmering caught my eye beneath the chair where she sat and I once again heard Wally calling my name.

"Dick!" He sighed "Maybe we should just talk later if you are ready and willing to listen" I nodded.

"Sorry Walz" I apologized. Silently, we finished our coffee and then he spoke

"I have to go" he paused and glanced at his watch "Artemis is waiting for me"

"Okay" He was about to reached for his wallet but I stopped him. "I'll pay everything" He patted my shoulder and left me alone. I stayed in the café for a few minutes because I want to clear my mind. However, I kept on thinking about the ring that I saw earlier. I tried forgetting about it but curiosity overcomes me. I glanced at the café entrance door making sure Wally was totally gone before I devised my plan.

Afterwards, I went on my knees, searched for the ring and found it underneath the chair. Then I quickly picked it up, sat again on my chair and looked at it closely. The golden ring was plain and simple; it was just an ordinary ring. But it seems it was not fitted for a woman's ring finger because it looked bigger. So I tried wearing it and surprisingly, it fit perfectly. Moreover, I had noticed some beautifully italized words inside the ring when I took it off.

My mind went blank when I read it and I could not think clearly because I was shocked. Based on my observation and instinct, I concluded that this was not a simple golden ring but a wedding band. The question is why my name was written in it.
