In the living room of Ray's apartment, Ray continues to hug Xena and is unwilling to let go. A few moments Ray let go of his embrace just because Xena was hungry.
But after they finished dinner, Ray hugged Xena again. Xena just resigned with the spoiled behavior of her lover.
They don't do far away things, just hugs or kisses. Ray is committed to looking after Xena and will ask for her rights when they are legally husband and wife.
This made Xena very respectful of Ray. He had never taken advantage of her, even though they were alone now.
"Darling, do you want to stay here tonight? Take it easy, I won't do anything. I just want a whole day with you, I still miss you" Ray said
"Can't Ray, I have to go to college tomorrow. Aren't you afraid of mama and papa thinking a no-no if I stay over?" said Xena
"Huh, okay. So when can I marry you?" ray said expectantly.
He desperately wants to marry his lover, he does not want to get away from Xena.
"I'm still in college, I haven't thought of getting there. At least not anytime soon, can you give me some time?" said Xena.
"alright. But if we get engaged first, how about it?" ask Ray again
"That's up to you" Xena said, looking down embarrassed as she said so.
"really? Then what if next month? When I finish the promotion and some photoshoots, we'll get engaged" Ray said.
"All right" said Xena
"really? Baby I love you so much. I'll tell Grandpa to see your family again" Ray said happily and showered Ray with a kiss.
Xena only chuckles when Ray doesn't stop peeling all over her face.
....
The two of them were on their way to Xena's house. Although Ray is not willing because he still wants to be alone with his lover, but he follows the will of Xena who wants to go home.
At this time Xena is weighing whether she needs Ray's help or not, to carry out her plan. After a while, Xena decided to tell Ray.
"Ray, I can ask you a favor" Xena said
"Sure, what would you like to ask for help hmm? I'll help with whatever you need" Ray said.
"I want you to find someone to do something for me" Xena said
"someone? Did what?" ask Ray
"I want to teach someone a lesson" Xena said
"I'll let my men do it, if so. But I want to know who and why you want to teach that guy a lesson. Does anyone dare bully you or hurt you?" ask Ray
"She's the woman at the top, do you remember? Her name is Yani, she hit and run Olive to make Olive almost died" said Xena full of hatred and Ray realized it from the glare of Xena's eyes.
Although he was curious why Xena looked so hateful to the person named Yani. But Ray didn't ask before Xena took the initiative to tell her herself.
"So you want revenge for your best friend?" ask Ray
"Yes" said Xena.
Xenaa is seen sighing and asks Ray to pull over at the park near his house. He still wants to talk to Ray before he gets home.
Ray said and pulled over his car, the park looked quiet, there were only a few people who were seen still on the move there.
Xena breathes her seat belt and hugs Ray. Of course Ray was surprised, he just hugged and kissed Xena, he knew there was something his lover wanted to tell him.
"I want to tell you something, but you have to promise not to say it to anyone" Xena said
"Yes, you can keep my promise" Ray said.
Ray listened as he rubbed Xena's head gently. Surprised to hear it, he now understood the reason why Olive's body shook as she lifted him into a wheelchair.
"You know, Olive was very good at hiding her pain from everyone including me. My heart aches when I know my best friend is suffering, but I didn't know it sooner" Xena said in tears.
Ray took off the seat belt and hugged Xena tighter to calm her down.
"And the person who traumatized her was Yani. When I found out that Yani did it I was very angry, I wanted to repay her. I want her to feel how it feels like Olive" Xena said with gritted teeth.
"You know Ray, Yani even wanted to make me a scapegoat for what he did to kill Olive." said Xena.
"In my past life" Xena continued inwardly
"What would happen if he managed to make me a scapegoat? Not only did Olive die, but my life would also be very bad in the future, I would be labeled as a killer" Xena said
Hearing Xena's words, Ray's jaw hardened and his hands clenched. He certainly will not stay silent, when he knows there are people who want to hurt the girl he loves the most.
He swore that he would make anyone who wanted to do anything bad to Xena suffer.
"Did I wrongly want to avenge that woman, Ray?" ask Xena.
"You're not wrong, baby" Ray said
He stretched Xena's arms and wiped the tears on her smooth cheeks. His heart ached to see Xena's tears fall, he was furious at this moment.
"Listen to me baby, you are not at all wrong. But to teach that woman a lesson, let me think about it and have my men execute that si*lan woman. You just wait for news from me, okay" Ray said
"But.." said Xena.
"Nothing but, I don't want to make you do dirty things, so let me do it" Ray said
"Hmmm but don't kill him Ray" Xena said
"Why?" ray disagreed
"I want to put him in prison for what he did. I have a lot of evidence about him. The death part is too easy for him, I want him to suffer longer and feel pain for the rest of his life" Xena said
"Well whatever you want. So you can trust me, right?" said Ray
Xena nodded.
"Girls are smart, so don't get overwhelmed by it. I don't want to see you cry, okay" Ray said
"Thank you Ray, I'm not wrong to love someone like you" Xena said
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Ray's heart is too tight, he doesn't think Xena can tell if she loves him. Is this a dream? Ray pulled both corners of his lips.
"Can you say it again, baby?" said Ray.
"Thank you" said Xena
"Not that" said Ray shaking his head. Xena understood that and smiled.
"I love you" said Xena
"Huh?" said Ray
"I said I love you Ray" Xena said to Ray.
"Thank you baby, I love you too, love you so much" said Ray, he pulled Xena's nape and kissed her gently. At this moment her heart was happy, finally her Xena told her love.
