The name Grey

Diana walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the lips just before a guide came into the room. She could tell the guide was the same lady that walked them into the room because she recognized her voice. She came to learn that they were in a place called Atlantis, an aquatic inspired theme park and the room they were in was one of the most prestigious places in the whole park. Since it was evening, the place was not as busy as during the day time making sense for the quiet environment. She also learnt that the place costed nearly double at night since most people found it having a serene atmosphere when the sun was down. That, added with the deep blue LED lights, made for a theraputic environment. The guide went on to tell her more about the park as she showed them some of the species that were inside the tank they were in and also gave them a few fun facts to keep them interested in the guide. She was informed that the room they were in was made out of glass from edge to edge apart from the door which led to the outside. When she asked what brought that thought she learnt that it was an idea by the owner of the park who wanted people for once in their life to see and feel what it was like for fish to live in an fish tank. They walked out of the room and explored the park further with the help if the guide learning more about marine life but Diana picked up something even though she didn't think much of it at the moment. When their guide was showing them around she asked if they were a couple and both of them gave the same answer

"We're both giving it a try and we'll see where it's heading"

The lady smiled when they said this and started to interact with them a bit more about whether they liked the place and stuff like that. She, at one point wanted to know Ryan's second name since he apparently didn't use two names when he signed them in.

"It's Ryan Grey" Ryan answered and that's when Diana noticed something. The guide looked a bit alarmed when he said his name out loud but she tried to hide this. At first Diana didn't realize what happened but noticed that from that moment the guide became even more friendly to them and did her best like she was giving the last tour of her life. When Diana looked at Ryan he didn't seem to notice anything at all which made Diana question whether she was just seeing things differently or if indeed the lady knew something about Ryan.

By the end of their tour Diana had pushed that thought aside and actually enjoyed the whole tour and the park with everything in it, especially the first room that they were in. As they stood at the entrance of the park Ryan walked a few feet away to call for a taxi and that's when Diana saw the opportunity to talk to their guide alone. She started just some small talk and when they were engaging about how awesome Diana had found the whole park to be, she dropped the question that bugged her.

"So, I realized that Ryan's name gave you some extra juice to work on your tour guiding skills. What was that all about?" Diana asked without beating around the bush

"I'm sorry, but I think you have me confused" she replied

" Come on, before Ryan said his name you were a devoted worker like Sponge Bob but the moment he said out his name you were like Sponge Bob but higher than then empire state building " Diana told her," so, what's going on with you? "

"Nothing, really. Nothing's going on" the lady said before Diana stopped her as she was about to head off

"Ok listen to me, I'm in a 50/50 stage where I don't know if he's the right guy for me and honestly I need your backup on this one. Is there something I need to know about Ryan before I take a leap of faith and find myself diving headfirst into an active volcano?" Diana asked a bit more serious this time

"Like I said before, you have nothing to worry about. Have a good evening" the lady responded before walking away. Ryan walked back and when he saw Diana he could sense that something might be wrong

"Is everything ok?" He asked

"Sure, everything's okay" she responded

"Well I hope you enjoyed your day because if you didn't I'd have to look for something else to top this" Ryan told her

" Are you kidding me? This is one of the best things that someone has ever done for me. I loved every second of it" she answered with a kiss on the lips. They would have kept going at this but they got interrupted by their taxi which was waiting for them. When they got to the door Ryan knew that he couldn't take the taxi all the way to Diana's place and he was not yet ready to invite her over to his place since he didn't want her to know who he truly was yet. So when he got to the cab, he told Diana how he would've wanted to take he home but he knew that Mitchell would probably be waiting for her to give her every detail of the night. He also lied to her that he was expected to go and deliver some stuff at another company outside of town early in the morning.

He therefore kissed her goodnight and made sure that she was on her way back home before made plans to get home. Just as Diana was gone Ryan got a tap on the shoulder, when he turned around he was surprised to see the owner of the park standing in front of him with a broad smile on his face.

"When I got a call that you were around I couldn't believe it, I had to come and see for myself and say hello" the owner said as they shook hands

" I didn't want to make a big deal of it. I have to say you have made good progress with the place" Ryan said

" Our place " the owner corrected him

"I helped you purchase the land and lay the foundation" Ryan said

" And you also own half of the park, so it's your park as well. The guide told me that your date might have no idea of who you are to be exact, I'm guessing you wanted to keep it that way" the owner enquired

" Yes, I didn't realize she was the same worker who signed on as a witness on that contract. I'm guessing that's where she remembered having seen my name on those papers. Pass my gratitude to her for not blowing my cover" Ryan told the owner as he called for one of his personal chauffeurs

"I will, and please allow me to offer the service of one of my chauffeurs to take you home"
