Raven in the Shadows

Chapter 5: "Date" Night Part 2

Hey, before you start the second part to this chapter, I'd appreciate if you listen to this:

IN CASE YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO HAS COPIED THIS STORY OR THEIRS LOOKS EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO MINE, ID LIKE YOU TO INFORM ME.

I have all copyrights for me, so I just want to make sure no one is putting their name on my work.

That's all. Thanks. Xoxo.

Also, this chapter is to make up for the one I missed yesterday.

I fidget with the handcrafted bracelet on my left hand. It's pretty, and has butterflies on the sides of the sparkly frame.

It had been not even 5 minutes after Brandon had told me his parents weren't going to be home. Is that why he asked for me to come over?

I wasn't completely against the idea, but with what happened with me and the guy who killed my mother is an extremely different story I didn't want to get into.

I liked Brandon; I just wasn't ready-for a relationship of course, or even more. I still don't know how he feels about me, but I don't bother to bring up the topic.

"Are you okay?" He asks me, with a slight look of concern spreading across his face.

"I'm fine," I say, giving him a forced smile. I still wasn't used to this. I wasn't used to hanging out with people, except for Shay. I drop my other hand from my bracelet looking up at Brandon once more.

The color comes back into my face and I feel a lot better. I find Brandon comforting, but at the same time I feel as if he's the reason why I'll go crazy or do something completely out of reach for someone like me to do.

I've said this times before, but just his face makes my stomach feel like butterflies will swallow me whole. I can't help but smile at him whenever I see him. Every time he smiles at me, I flush a bright red and I can't stop it. I can't just throw away my feelings for him.

This will be a good year, I think.

Brandon and I decide to find a movie to watch on Netflix. He gets up to make us popcorn as I sit there looking for something that we could watch that wasn't too cheesy or bland or anything.

As soon as he comes back with a bowl of popcorn, we finally decide to watch Scream, only because it was such a classic movie and assumed it would be good.

As the movie starts, I realize Brandon is sitting closer to me than before. No problem there.

He puts an arm around me, as I lay my head on his shoulder.

I feel really relaxed, knowing he's right here with me. Half way through the movie, I start to fall asleep.

When the movie is over, Brandon wakes me up. I don't move though, because I was just so comfortable with him.

The feeling I got waking up next to him made me feel happy. I don't know how to explain it and why, but I just felt like someone finally cared about me, like I could just wake up every single day like this, Brandon on my side, giving me tiny little kisses.

He pulls me on top of him, my legs on either side of him, as he cups my face in his hands.

We breathe heavily, as he whispers to me, "I like you, Courtney."

I chuckle, the smile on my face widening, spreading to both of my cheeks, "I like you too," I softly whisper back.

He smiles and brings me into a deep, passionate kiss.
