Chapter113
"You are right about the first part. There is someone who looks exactly like Joanna Anderson in my house. But the second part? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not in love with her. How can I be in love with Allen? It's not possible at all! She's so stupid. She could not even do a good job of pretending to be someone. She let me catch her!" Raymond said.
Ryder rolled his eyes. He felt that the story of someone pretending to be Joanna Anderson to marry him in her place was quite crazy. But he was sure about one thing. His friend fell in love with that woman. He really does love her now. And he doesn't want to admit it. He could understand that. He had spent the lasy eleven years loving someone when he wasn't sure if she was alive or not. It must have been hard. He believes now there is no way that he can love someone else apart from that girl.
"Ok, you don't love her right? Tell me exactly what happened yesterday. Don't leave lot a single detail. I want to know what really happened yesterday that made you like this" Ryder said. If he isn't going to accept it, he had to force Raymond to accept the feelings that he now had for this woman. Whoever she is.
"Yesterday, I was home. She came back with some guy. Joanna's friend. The one who asked her to pretend to be Joanna. She cake back so late. What was she doing with him that she was so late? I really would like to know that. She was so comfortable with him and she talked with him for a really long time. But immediately she saw me, she acted as if she she was counting her words! Am I scary? How can she be scared of me? How can she be comfortable with that idoit but she isn't comfortable with me? How can something like that even be possible? It doesn't make sense at all!. Because of that, we argued a bit, and I lost control" Raymond said.
Ryder was smiling happily now. What will it take for this stubborn mule to accept his feelings for that woman?
"You said that you lost control? What did you do exactly,? You didn't hit her right?" Ryder asked him.
Raymond glared at his friend. "What do you take me for? Do I look like a man who would hit a woman?" He asked?
"Then what exactly did you do to her?" Ryder asked. He was itching for some gossip now.
"Well....the thing is ...I kissed her" Raymond said.
Now Ryder was sure that he heard wrong. "What?! What did you say?!!" He asked.
"I said that I kissed her! I kissed her alright.! I think that I must have lost my mind! Why will I do something like that to her? What has happened to me? Why do I care what does with that Paul person? What does it have to do with me anyway? Why do I keep letting her affect me like this? I really don't know what to do anymore. I really need to get her out of my head" Raymond said. He really can't be in love with that woman. He can't love her at all. It isn't possible.
Ryder shook his head. "You already kissed her because you were jealous about her being close with some guy? And you still think that you don't love her? When are you going to stop lying to yourself like this? You are already deep in love with this woman!" Ryder said. What is really wrong with Raymond. Why can't he accept it?
"I can't be in love with her. You know right? If I love her what about April then?" Raymond asked.
Ryder rolled his eyes. He found a way to bring up her up again.
"April? Are you sure that you love her? Think about it Raymond. How long has it been since you talked about her? Since you've met this woman, I bet that you don't think about her as much as you used to right? You've forgotten about her right? You are thankful to the girl who used her life to save you. And maybe you did like her in your youth. But you really need to let go of her now" Ryder said.
Raymond thought about it. Is what Ryder said really true? Does he love Allen? He was right about something. He realized that he had not been thinking about April a lot lately.
"Whatever" Raymond said.
Ryder rolled his eyes. He knew that he won't accept it at once.
*****
Ryan was packed just outside the filming set. He was thinking about whether he should go in to meet her. But right now, she is Joanna Anderson. If he just shows up in front of her like this, it is going to cause a lot of troubles for her. He did not want people to misunderstand her.
Ryan had never cared about anyone's options of him.. he just did whatever he wanted to do whenever he wanted to. Why should he care about other people?
But it seemed that whenever Allen was involved, he was always careful. Not for himself, for her sake. He made a mistake once five years ago, he did not want to repeat it again.
After he returned from abroad five years ago, he was even more cautious towards her than he was before. Like how right now, even though he has been around for quite some time, he won't even go inside to see her. He was still hesitating about going to see her because he did not want to cause problems for her.
He did not care about those things five years ago. But after seeing how she pushed him out of her life without even thinking twice about it, he knew that he had to be careful now.
Besides after what happened yesterday, he did not know how he was going to face her.
