Alex's P.O.V.
~~~~
There's nothing like the present.
My present right now, is getting to see Raven sleeping peacefully, or at least what I think is peacefully.
Of course we haven't known each other long, but it seems like we've both fallen for each other, without actually really meaning too.
I have no idea what to do now, all I know is I'm going to wing it.
And when the perfect moment comes, and I'm sure she isn't in any trouble anymore, I'm going to do the one thing plenty of people most likely didn't think I would be able to do.
I'm going to marry this girl, my girl.
Unconsciously stroking her hair, I keep thinking. I took a bullet for her, and I'll do more, so much more.
It hasn't been long, but I think a few more days will be absolutely fine, I just have to keep my fingers crossed.
"Alex?" Raven asks, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"Morning, Sleeping Beauty. How did you sleep?" I say, a small smile playing on my lips at how beautiful she looks right now.
She shrugs her shoulders, avoiding eye contact.
"Raven.."
"I'm fine, promise." She gives me a small smile, and kisses my cheek, then gets up and I immediately miss her warmth. "...coffee?" I hear the end of her sentence, and guessing that she asked me I wanted coffee I just nodded, still tracking her every movement.
Once she leaves I think about all the work and meetings I'm going to have to get too, once we return back home. I groan at the same time the nurse comes in.
"Are you ok, Mr. Gonzalez?" I nod. "Ok, well you should take it easy for a while, no stressing yourself out, and be careful because you can easily rip your stitches and we don't want that. So no overworking yourself and you can be dispatched today, so have a good day and take it easy." She says, giving me the no-nonsense tone.
I wait a couple more minutes while the nurse takes off all the wires connected to me. I call one of my drivers to pick Raven and myself up from the hospital, and when Raven returns from getting coffee, I'm already dressed and ready.
"Oh, you can leave today?" Raven asks, surprise lacing her every feature.
"Yes, now come one, our driver is waiting. Let's go back home, Ray." She graces me with a smile, and when I hold my hand out to her, she puts her own small hand in my large one.

2 Weeks later.
"Babe! Come on, we have to go!" I yell.
"Don't fucking rush me asswhole! This is your fucking fault!" Raven yells back.
I chuckle at her, she's always putting the blame on me when she can't find something, lost something, or is out of time. Like right now.
"Raven. Come on you look fine, they'll love you." I say, wrapping my arms around her and resting my chin on her shoulder, studying her outfit in the mirror.
A red, as dark as blood, dress, sleeveless, with a thick black belt around the middle, her black pumps, her beautiful long curls are down, and her full pouty lips are painted dark red as well, and she has just a bit of eyeliner and mascara on. Absolutely beautiful.
"Are you sure?" She asks for the about the billionth time that night.
I turn her head a bit and kiss her absolutely kissable lips, "one-hundred percent sure." I say, against her lips.
I've gotten to know Raven better these last two weeks just as much as she now knows me now, so I decided a few days ago, that before I propose to her, that I should take her to meet my parents, so I am.
Reluctantly, I pull away from my addiction, and murmur a "lets go" before taking her hand and pulling her out of her apartment with me, and onto the waiting limo.

Raven's P.O.V.
~~~~
To say I'm nervous would be an understatement.
I've never really had a boyfriend before only a friend that's a boy, and I never had to meat his parents, now I'm on my way to meet Alex's parents and I'm freaking out.
What if they don't like me? I might as well be a gold digger in his parents eyes, since I'm just a personal trainer, that mysteriously ended up with their on-top-of-the-world son. Ok, I might be exaggerating a bit. But really what if they think I'm a gold-
"Raven!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't do anything!" I yell and cower in the furthest side of the car we're in.
"Babe, I've told you not to be scared of me, I won't do anything to hurt you." Alex says, hurt visible in his eyes.
"Sorry, it's just.. you yelled." I whisper, resting my head on his shoulder, breathing a bit harsh.
"It's ok. Don't you think it'll be better if we put you i-" I cut him off before he can finish that sentence he's been trying to say for the past 2 weeks.
"I'm not getting therapy, Alex. I'm one hundred percent fine, I promise."
His eyes soften, "you've been having nightmares ever since it happened."
"I'll be fine." I kiss his cheek and keep my head on his shoulder until we arrive at Alex's parents house.

Once a huge black gate opens in front of us and the white mansion comes into view, my nerves go haywire. Shit.
Seeing Alex's parents already waiting on the front steps, and having Alex's hand tightly held in my own I get out after him when the car stops.
"Alex!" His mother calls, running towards him and giving him a hug, at the same time as kissing his cheeks.
"Mom, dad, meet my girlfriend Raven Flores. Raven, Lucy and Mark Gonzalez."
"Nice to meet you." I say politely, well as politely as I can sound while Alex's mom -Lucy- looks at me with a critical eye.
"Alex, what are you doing with her? Didn't I tell you Katherine was going to be here?" Lucy asks, disgust evident in her tone.
"Lucy. Don't." Mark speaks for the first time since we've been introduced.
"Mom, I told you I was bringing my girlfriend and that Gabby can go fuck herself."
"Alex Dominic Gonzalez! That kind of language is not tolerated in this household!" Lucy scolds.
Oh, so that's what his middle name is. I muse to myself.
"And you will not talk about my girlfriend like she's trash!" Alex retorts.
"It's because she is!" Lucy yells.
"Alex, it's ok. I told you they wouldn't like me, I'm a low life compared to you, just like the media says." I say quietly.
"No you're not babe, your my everything." He replies, looking intently at me.
"Oh my gosh! Alex!" A black haired bimbo comes up behind Alex, turning him around and kisses him smack! in the lips... right in front of me.
Well, shit.
