Ray looked at me and asked, "Do you like this place?"

I replied, "Yes , I loved it."

He continued, "I used to come here years ago with someone. I hadn't come here for a long time."

I guess he used to come here with his old girlfriend.
He took me to this place.
This is a huge step.

He continued, "Anyway, you know, this place holds a special place in my heart."

I was just staring him.
He looked so delighted and ecstatic while telling me about this place.
Maybe he and his old girlfriend used to visit this place often.
But I was just happy that he is opening up now.

He continued, "You know what , I-I........"
Suddenly Aiden came followed by James and exclaimed interrupting Ray,"Ryan you here."

They called out from behind him. All the delightful expressions turned into nervousness.
He frantically stood up and looked behind him.
I stood up too.

Ray just kept looking at them expressionless.

Does he remember them or forgot about them in his this identity?

But proving me wrong Ray asked, "W-what are you both doing here?"

Aiden tapped his shoulder and said ,"That is what we wanted to ask you. What are you doing here? And who is this beautiful lady?" He acted while pointed at me.

He is a good actor by the way.
I appreciate.

Ray looked back and forth between me and them.

James said ,"Ryan you hadn't visited this place since that time. And today you came here with this beautiful lady. Introduce us too."

Ray looked at me.
Nervousness was evident on his face.
Sweat was dripping off his face.

Why is he nervous?

I held his hand.
I think I should play along too, so I asked, "Ray, who are they? And why are they calling you Ryan?"

He let out a heavy sigh. And ran his hands to his hairs .

Aiden compelled, "Who's she Ryan? And how dare she call you Ray? No one called you by this name after ......"

"She is my girlfriend", Ray freaked out.

He called me his girlfriend!!

It think that we should stop asking him now or he can get panic attack.

I rubbed his shoulder from my hands and said, "Yes, I am his girlfriend. And would you introduce yourself Mr."

Aiden extended his hand for handshake and said, "I am Aiden Wilson. I am his brother. Nice to meet you Miss...."

"Jennifer Brown. Nice to meet you too Aiden."

Then James shook his hand with me and introduced himself.

While this Ray was just standing quite holding my hand tightly.

I pulled his hand and said ,"Let's eat now. Come join us Aiden and James".
Then we all sat together.

Ray was still quite but he held my hand tightly as if I would disappear from here.

I asked him,"Ray why didn't you told me about your brother and your friend?"
