Not So Happy Homecoming
(The Following Friday)
Lexi was finally released from the hospital, and Ray was off that day so he took her home. She was sitting in the passenger seat staring out the window.
"Do you feel okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine," she said.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
When they finally got to their apartment she was about half way through her pregnancy at this point, so she was a little bigger. She pulled herself out of the car to head into the apartment building.
They took the elevator up to their floor," Baby?"
"What?"
"I never meant to hurt you."
"Well congratulations you did," she said.
"I would never intentionally hurt you," he said quietly," It's just I never realized that I still loved Neela. I didn't want things to turn out this way you have to believe me." The elevator reached their floor and dinged the doors sliding open.
She stepped off first," So what am I supposed to be okay with that? Am I supposed to congratulate you for realizing you married the wrong person?" she snapped.
He ran to catch up with her unlocking their apartment door," No. I didn't marry the wrong person. How can you say that?" he asked, as he let her into the apartment first.
She turned around to face him," Because you're standing there telling me you love Neela." Neither of them were aware that both Ryan and Lily were there watching and listening.
"Listen to me for a second please," he pleaded with her." I married you because I loved you. You were there when I hit rock bottom. Things were so bad for me, I never thought I'd be able to overcome that. I never expected for my feelings for Neela to resurface."
(Ryan and Lily)
Lily was about ready to make her presence be known and hit Ray, but Ryan grabbed her arm," We shouldn't be listening to them fight," he said quietly.
"I don't care. You're brother is a jerk, I can't believe him," she hissed.
"Not our fight, come one lets stay out of earshot and let them resolve this."
"He's in love with another woman, and you think this can be resolved?" she demanded.
"Yes."
