Finally Free [Gavin Free][Undergoing Editing]

Be Mine and Bloody Nightmare

~BREE'S POV~

"I can't believe Matt offered me a job at Roosterteeth!" I exclaimed as Ray and I walked to his place. When Matt asked to talk to me earlier, I wasn't expecting a job offer. He wanted to know if I was willing to be an editor for Red Vs Blue and RWBY. I had helped with the other animators and editors since my time here. Even though becoming a professional artist was my main objective, I couldn't say no.

I was a week away from returning back home, but since now this great news has happened...I'm not leaving. I would miss Janie, the guys, and Ray. He has changed my whole perspective on the world and has showed me what it feels like to be loved. Growing up wasn't easy for me, but I tended to keep the past locked up in a safe somewhere in my brain. Only Janie knows what happened to me back then and she promised not to mention it to anyone and that makes me love her so much.

"I can't believe it either," Ray laughed as I punched his arm. "I'll have my best buds and girlfriend with me everyday."

I stopped when I heard his words and a huge grin carved its way onto my face. "Girlfriend?"

Ray's face went automatically red. He rubbed the back of his neck, nervously watching the ground as he spoke. "Uh, yeah, I was gonna ask you, but...." I stopped him with a kiss on the lips. He jumped at my suddenness, but placed his hands on both sides of my head and kissed me back.

"Yes." I simply said once I pulled away. I must admit: I did not expect to fall so hard for Ray Narvaez. I just did. It's one of those things that happen unexpectedly. Sure, when I saw him for the first time, I was speechless and I felt a crush blooming inside of me, but never had I suspected to fall in love with him.

That's the problem with me. I meet a guy, go on a few dates, know him for a little, and I want to be with him forever. I've had a handful of boyfriends before and Ive made that mistake with each one. The longest relationship I've ever been in was with a guy named Jimmy. He and I met when I was working at a small café somewhere in downtown London. He caught my eye the minute he walked through the door and never had I fallen hard so fast, but he was too engrossed with his photography and story writing that he never wanted to leave his flat and be social.

So, I broke it off and I cried in Janie's arms that same night. I had told him I loved him on our one month anniversary, which made him tense and hesitate. But I feel different with Ray. Like if I told him I loved him, he wouldn't run off, scared of my words.

Ray smiled at my reply. We walked hand in hand back to his place, shoulders bumping together lightly.

"How's your daddy?" I asked Janie as I lounged on Ray's bed, a bowl of his cereal in my hand. Ray and Michael went for a 'guys' night' so I remained seated in his apartment.

"Much better! I told him about Gavin," I literally choked on a corn flake. "But he likes him and thinks he's perfect for me!" Janie replied quickly.

"Oh, well, that's fantastic. I'm glad you finally found a worthy man to rock your body." I giggled as I heard her scoff on the other end.

"And what about you and Ray?"

"Well," A shy giggle escaped my full lips. "We, uh, are now a thing." Silence filled the line before Janie squealed with excitement. I could hear Gavin's worried voice in the background.

"Nothing, Gavin! Girl shit!" She called back, making me laugh with a full mouth of flakes. I swear she can turn from a tomboy to a girly little fuck in a second.

"Don't pop your ovaries." I said. I could almost see her roll her eyes.

"Oh, shut up! It's big news! When did this happen?"
