Dakotas POV❤️
After Raven got finished getting ready, we headed out and are now at the mall. Why? I have no clue but she's a woman so I'm assuming shopping for clothes she doesn't need. Trust me I saw the closet, Jamie probably has like not even a quarter of it.
We're in H&M right now. "Dakota please?" She pouts dragging out please and she's so cute. Her eyes doe and her lip pokes out. I could just kiss her. Nope!
"I don't understand why we are shopping for me. I dont need clothes." I say. She puts the shirt back up to my neck to see how it would look on me like a mother shopping for her child.
"Because we're in a mall. And people shop in the mall." She says with a duh tone.
I push down the shirt in her hand and she glares at me. "Well actually some people shop for more than just clothes in a mall." I say and she eyes me confused. I smile mischievously. "Dates, numbers, sex." I say and shrug.
"You come to the mall just to look for someone to go out with?" She asks and I nod. She scoffs. "You are no better than a man, I swear." I laugh.
I lean behind her as she goes through more shirts. "I'm so much better than a man. In many ways actually." I lean back up smirking and walking away when she stays frozen staring at the shirts.
"I found some clothes I want to try on. I'm going to the changing room." I nod and she goes inside one of the rooms as I take a seat on one of the waiting chairs. As I wait I text Mikayla to see how the meetings are going.
Mik🤓: these old people are sooooo boring Dakota. They have no vision.
Me: 🤣 but they have money and money means you get paid for dealing with them and me
Mik🤓: u know wat u right smiles all around
Mik🤓: how's Raven? U guys fuck yet??👀That message makes my eyes go wide right when Raven walks out in the first outfit which is a brown bodycon dress that fits her curves nicely. "Are you drooling?" She says with a smirk and I wipe my mouth. Embarrassing!
"I'll take that as a compliment." She says and I nod still not having said anything and she goes back in to try on more."Your girlfriend is bad." I hear a female voice behind me and I turn to the person. She's dark skin with passion twist and dark brown eyes. She's also in an employees uniform.
"Uh she's not my girlfriend. She's married to my bestfriend." I say and that reminder hits me harder than it should.
She looks confused and then nods. "I apologize. Well then do you have a girlfriend?" She asks and I smirk.
I turn around to Raven clearing her throat and she's in a white off the shoulder ruffled crop top and white skirt. She looks like an angel. A very sexy angel. "What do you think?" She asks.
"Ravishing." I breathe out and she tries to hide her smile. I can't take my eyes off her, even when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I shrug it off and then it stops and I see Raven trying to hold in a laugh and then she goes back in the changing room. I turn around and don't see the girl anymore. I shrug and go to play COD on my phone.
A few minute later, I see feet come into view in between my legs and a hand gliding from my shoulder up my neck. I raise my head and see Raven. She's caressing me and I'm hypnotized by looking in her grey eyes. "You ready?" She asks softly and I nod and swallow. She smiles and then moves her hand and I'm cold.
I follow her to the checkout and stand behind her as she gets everything scanned. "You two are so cute." Another employee says, this time it's a blonde.
I go to say the same thing I told the other but Raven interrupts. "Thank you. I just can't get enough of her." She says and I can hear the amusement in her voice. I look at her confused but smiling.
I see in the corner of my eye, the other girl looking confused and honestly pissed. I chuckle and then Raven finishes paying and I grab the bag before she can and she smiles at me. "Why did you do that?" I ask amused when we walk out.
She shrugs. "What are you talking about?" She says faking her oblivion. I give her a look and she laughs. "What, that girl was all over you and you didn't look interested anyway."
"And how do you know I wasn't interested?" I ask curious.
"Were you?" She asks.
I shake my head. "No honestly. I haven't really been interested in many people lately." I say and she leads us to Auntie Anne's, it's a pretzel shop.
"And why is that?" She asks as we stand in the line.
I shrug. "None have caught my eye." I say looking into hers. "Are those your real eye color?" I ask finally.
She smiles. "Yes. Some say they're beautiful, others think a dark skin with such light colored eyes is weird."
I frown. "And what do you think?"
"They're me. And I know I'm special, I like it."
"I love it." I say instantly not giving her time to recover from her own statement and she gets taken back and then laughs. "What's funny?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "Oh nothing. But thank you Dakota. You're really sweet." She says and then we're next. She orders a cup of cinnamon pretzel bites and we share them as we walk with her feeding me.
We get outside to the car and she hands me the keys. "I want to eat and my fingers are sticky." She wiggles her fingers and they have cinnamon all over them. I laugh.
We get in and as we drive, she feeds me and laughs everytime my tongue touches her finger tips. "You're so fucking cute." I say and it doesn't register until I see her face and her cheeks have a hint of red on them. I smirk knowing I have an affect on her. Wait no I shouldn't want that. She's married to your bestfriend.
"You are too Dakota." She says taking me out of my guilty thoughts and I glance at her and she's looking at me. My mouth opens slightly and I go to say something but get interrupted when she yells. "Stop!"
I press the break. And I jerk forward hard but I put my arm across her body to keep her steady and not get whiplash. When I stop, the car is filled with our heavy breaths and me staring at the red light and an 18 wheeler driving passed. I look over to Raven and she's stunned. "Raven I'm sorry. I-I I'm going to get you home, ok?" I say and she just nods. Fuck!
We drive to the house and it's silent. Like way too silent. I pull up to the house and get out of the car to go to Ravens side when I see she's not moving. I open her door and I bend down in a squat to look at her. "Raven look at me." She puts her eyes on me and they're flooded like a thunderstorm that hasn't hit yet. Why must even devastation look so beautiful on her? "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" I ask rapidly checking over her. "I'm so sorry Raven. Let me get you inside." She shakes her head still looking at me. I sigh and look down.
"Dakota." Her saying my name makes me look up and the next thing I know her lips are on me. I don't kiss back and immediately pull away. I look at her in shock and guilt. "Oh my god." She breathes out with eyes wide and storms away past me and I watch her as she walks in the house and the door closes.
I don't follow and take out my phone. "Come get me. Ravens and Jamie's house. Fuck the meeting! Just," I take a breath. "Just come get me Mik, please."
Shit!
