Raven's Pov
"Raven I'm gonna go see an old friend of mine. I'll be back over in a few."

I smiled up at Jake "Who is that?"
He scratched his head "Michael."

I knew he was lying to me I just didn't know why. I shook my head and watched him walk out the door. I turned to Ryan "You think he was lying about who he was going to see?"

He gave me a sympathetic look "Maybe I don't know."

My blood boiled and I felt an attitude catching on from the pregnancy hormones "We'll just have to see when he gets back."

Ryan sat next to me "Well I just want you to know I'm here whenever you need me even at 3 am when you wanna go get Chipotle."

I laughed "Can we actually go get Chipotle right now?"

He got up smiling "Yeah I'm starving. But you should drive your more sober than I am."

I grabbed my wallet and headed to my car with Ryan behind me.

~At Chipotle~
We sat at the booth eating our food. I took a bite if my burrito and moaned "This is so good."

Ryan chuckled "That moan though."

I laughed "We should find you a nice girl to hang out with."

He looked down "Nah I don't want anyone right now except this one person. I'll know how to treat her like a princess. Give her everything she deserves. Stay by her side when she needs me. But I can't do that. She won't let me."

"Ryan its not that I won't let you it's just that I can't."

He tilted his head "And how do you know that I'm talking about you?"

"Oh. Okay."

He blushed "I am though."

I looked down and smiled "This is awkward."

He lifted my chin up "Your beautiful don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

Jake:Hey where did you go?

Rae: For food.

Jake: With Ryan?

Rae: Yeah,problem?

Jake: uhm yeah.

Rae: Well did I question you about the girl you was hanging out with.

Jake: It's not a girl I went to see Brandon I told you when I left.

Rae: Your such a liar because when you left you said you were hanging out with Michael and now his name is Brandon. Who the hell is she Jake? You know what I don't care who you were with.

Jake: Her name is Alexis but it's nothing like that she's dating Wesley. She's an old friend of mine from when I was 13.

Rae: Thanks for keeping it a secret earlier.

I shoved my phone in my wallet and sipped at my soda. Ryan spoke "Rae what's wrong?"

"Jake lied to me twice. He was with a girl."

Ryan reached around and gave me a hug. "I'm sorry Raven."

Tears fell and I looked up "I just don't get it. Am I not good enough?"

He whispered "He's the one that isn't good enough your incredible."

I looked him "In the eyes you won't do that to me will you?"

He shook his head "Never, I promise."

Without thinking I leaned in to kiss him and everything went off. The fireworks and butterflies were definitely there. I pulled away then threw my stuff in the garbage. He walked out with me and we got to my car.

He grabbed my hand "Before we get in the car and go back to normal I want to do this." Then kissed me.

His hands went around my waist pulling me in. There was space in between us due to my baby bump. He pulled away and touched my stomach "I wish you were mine kiddo."

I giggled "The baby would come out good looking."

He kissed my cheek "Can we keep this our secret?"

I looked at him "That we kissed or that we like each other?"

"Both. I'm just waiting for the day that Jake fucks up so bad and you'll be mine safe from anything that'll hurt you ever again."

I got in the drivers seat and waited for Ryan to get in before speaking "I don't know what's crazier me liking two guys at the same time or the fact that you want to be with me."

He just smiled and held my hand the whole way home.

A/N- Woah is having two boyfriends even allowed? That's considered cheating because she kissed Ryan while she's dating Jake. Uh oh. I didn't realize that when I wrote it.
