CHAPTER 17

{ Just Friends }

~LIZ~

"Oh my dears! What happened here? It was supposed to be a peaceful Saturday night! Why are you kids so naughty?" I Claudia's rambling woke me up. I woke up to see her pulling Raven's face off a pie, and wiping his face with a cloth across the counter.

"I'm sorry Claudia. We were just having some fun," I apologize.

"At least you kids are responsible enough not to throw a party," she chuckled. "What time did you go to sleep?"

"Ummmm... An hour or so," I reply looking at the clock. It showed 5.30 am. "You're not angry?"

"Why would I be?" She waved me off. "You kids were having good fun, I can see that."

"I'm still sorry, for creating this mess," I rub my face. "I can help clean up."

"Nah it's okay. You kids go to bed," she pushed me up the stairs. I obediently went into my room and laid on my bed. I closed my eyes and laid on my side. It was really uncomfortable. I tossed, and turned. Again, it was really uncomfortable. I tossed and turned, and turned again. I tossed again, and this time, my face made contact with a chest. I breathed in the smell of apple pie, and smiled to myself. Raven.

I reached up to his ear and whispered, "I won." His chest rumbled as he chuckled.

"I know. Now go to sleep," he whispered back. I snuggled closer, feeling like a kid again. He kissed my forehead, allowing his lips to linger on my forehead for a while longer. I felt so happy, so calm. Peaceful. I felt him pulling me closer to him, as sleep washed over me like the fifth wave.

I was jolted awake later that day to someone screaming. Raven stirred beside me, rubbing his eyes.

"God I've been trying to wake both of you for the past hour!" I heard Nichole shout.

"You could have shook us awake!" I grumble.

"I even poured cold water over the both of you!" She steamed. I looked around, noticing that we were wet.

"Dude! I can see your ginormous boner," Nichole pointed out. Raven looked down, and quickly draped a blanket around his waist.

"Where's Nicholas?" He questioned. Oh god, that raspy bed voice. So drool worthy. I'd listen to that all day without making him shut up.

"He's downstairs plugged into your game system," Nichole, told him.

"That asshole," Raven shook his head and exited. Nichole went behind him, and I could hear something along the line of "just found out... Cheated... " or something.

She came back, with a creepy smile on her face. Now I had to be scared.

"Sleeping together eh?" She questioned.

"No! We weren't sleeping together," I slurred. "Its, I don't know, it kinda calms me."

"Right. I saw how you woke up. Must have been one hell of a night," she raised her eyebrows. "So tell me. How was it?"
