Reverie

In or out

Raven POV:

-your house is a mess!

She huffs dramatically as she drops her bag on the couch along with a ...paper bag .

-mhm

I hum, leaning against the kitchen counter as my coffee brews.

- want coffee?

-no thanks I had one on my way here.

She responds while furrowing her brows, busy scrolling through her phone.

I walk up with my cup in my hand as i place a lingering kiss on the side of her forehead.

Her eyes lit up, she looked up at him as she flashed an enigmatic smile. Her tan skin glowy as her full lips glaze.

- you look lovely

She grins as she preens under my praise.

- oh i forgot! I got you something.

She shuffled towards the couch picking up the paper bag. I strode across the room.

- what's this for?

She couldn't stop smiling as she handed me the bag.

- you know i don't need any occasions to gift you right ?

I smile as i carefully open the bag. It feels like a ....canvas?

I pull it out and a beautiful
painting of the sunset view appears. It was apparent that it was painted by her but The color selections.. seemed too familiar.

- it's.... beautiful babe

- really?

She looked at my face eagerly as I nod and pulled her in my arms. I tuck her head under my chin still gazing at the painting.
It was ..so familiar yet so different.

Her words get muffled by my shirt as she speaks,

- i'm glad you liked it. It was inspired by...remember when we used to play together and one afternoon it got late. And we saw the most beautiful sunset... together?

Her voice was dreamy at the recollection.

- I do. And I never thought I'd find you again.

I mumble against her hair.

It was true. Sophie was in my neighborhood when we were kids.
We used to play together not everyday, but whenever she decided to show up. Her curly hair, tan skin and sharp tongue.

And one day we just lost connections when I moved out of that house. But God had other plans.

We reunited through mutual friends only for me to find out that she was still the same. Even now, after knowing it all, . she still loves me. She said she always liked me. Even when we were just neighbors .

But i never knew. I didn't think of her finding her way back in my life again.

My thoughts got interrupted by her soft kiss on my jaw. I don't push her away anymore. I sigh holding her close as we relish another sunset together.

The quiet serenity of the painting she gifted me was juxtaposed with the crowded thoughts in my head.

Levis's POV:

Days are passing by like minutes.
It feels like I'm still trying to figure out what i really want in life. I'll soon graduate from college.

I sigh as I look around my room. Silence. Little brother is busy with his high school. Meridith is gone in kindergarten with mom.

The only storm in the calm of our house is that little girl. But I also think that she's calmer and more composed compared to her contemporaries.

It's genetic. I guess.

I open my Instagram. I rarely ever scroll through it. I somehow find it boring.

Recently I've been getting some random follow requests. I check the profiles and there's no post. Maybe one or two.

I scrolled through a recent profile that started following me and I noticed a lengthy caption under that post. I could tell that the picture has been taken from Pinterest but the caption...

-------------------------------

Is it missing?
What's missing?
Are you kissing
The girl you've been chasing so long

I bet she doesn't even try

Like

( I would do)

I wanted to call it a fleeting thing but she doesn't leave your side

Stop shunning me don't say you're off-limits.

Living my life like it's just a piece of cake
And I'm saying it's just for my sake
No one knows how hard it makes me shake

To see
To see
To see
To see

Your lips between her teeth

When I

When I want them all over me

She wears dresses with knee high slits

And I just wear clothes to cover my pride

You said you liked it but i think you lied.

Now when i think of you sometimes
And nothing really comes to my mind
Tell me is it really a sign
That you were never mine.

........

Interesting. The anonymous profile is not so boring.

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜

Any guess who could be behind that anonymous profile??

Also am i doing okay? It feels like my writing is not enjoyable to read anymore.

Also, not me dropping some random song I wrote through the caption. But trust me, these songs belong here.

Yeah, the author likes to document everything she writes.

I hope the chapter ain't too disappointing.

Also, raven's plot twist...
How was it?
it will make things more complex as we proceed but that's what we're here for.

Drama.

It's been more than a year since reverie happened. Unbelievable.
