An Unkidness

Chapter 19

After a much needed pregnancy exhaustion nap, Raven drug her feet as she dressed for a night out. She long for her comfy bed, but didn't want Christopher to get more suspicious of her pregnancy. She wanted to tell him, but just at the right time. Raven forced a tired smile as she met him in the foyer. He stroked her chin as he placed a kiss gently on her lips.

As they rode the elevator to the top floor of the hotel, Christopher smirked as he slid his hand on to her backside and squeezed. He leaned down to the side and whispered in her ear, "That dress is awfully tight, let me guess.. no underwear?"

Raven kept her gaze ahead as she shook it and smiled.

Christopher removed his hand from her backside and tucked her arm into his as he escorted her into the rooftop restaurant.

Christopher smiled as he watched her squint at the menu and moved her lips as she read. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out her reading glasses. She blushed as she cleared her throat, "Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

Ravens stomach turned as all of the smells from the room mixed together. Her thoughts were lost in nausea until she realized he was speaking to her, "Im sorry Chris, what were you saying?"

"I said, are you ready to order?"

Raven fidgeted with her fingers as her anxiety grew, "Yes... I think so.."

Christopher nodded to the waiter that was on stand by, "I'll have a Ribeye, medium with a side of fries."

The waiter turned to Raven, "I... I'll just have a side of mashed potatoes please."

The waiter smiled and took their menus.

Raven looked up to Christopher. He had a cold stare as his jaw flexed. She wrinkled her brow, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you not eating?"

Raven nervously looked around the room as she rubbed her hands together, "Well.. I.."

"Hello Christopher.."

Ravens eyes turned to Samantha, Leo's old secretary. She squeezed her napkin as Samantha placed her hand on his shoulder. Christopher smiled an uneasy smile, "Hi."

Samantha cut her eyes at Raven then back to him, " Listen, if your not busy later.. We can finish were we left off.."

Raven couldn't take it anymore, "Here take my seat.. I was leaving anyway."

Christopher jumped from his seat knocking Samantha to the ground as he quickly strutted after an escaping Raven. "Hey! Christopher!" Samantha heaved as she remained on the floor.

Raven looked down as she was about to enter the elevator. She was in shock when the doors open and Blake stood inside. He did a double take and smiled his evil smile. He stepped to her and lightly grabbed her arm and squeezed. Ravens eyes flinched at the pain. His voice made shivers run down her spine, "Oh.. How I've missed squeezing you.."

Raven jumped when she heard Christopher yell her name as he caught up. Blake turned his evil smile to him and squeezed Ravens arm tighter. Raven squeezed her eyes and bit her lip so her pain wouldn't provoke a fight.

Christopher stepped up to Blake, "Let go now."

Raven opened her mouth to breath from the pain as she looked down. Blake chuckled, "Or what?"

Christopher paid his evil smile back, "I won't brake your arm, Ill dismembered it."

Raven stomach turned at the thought, "I think I'm going to be sick..."

Blake scowled at her, "Didn't I teach you not to speak unless spoken too?"

Christopher heaved as he hit Blake square in the jaw. He quickly caught Raven and pulled her to him as Blake released her. He protectively tucked her under his arm and shoved a wad of cash into the hostess hand, "You didn't see anything."

The hostess smiled as he pocketed the money.

As  the elevator headed down, Christopher text security that was waiting downstairs. Raven was silent as he kept her tucked under his arm and lead her to the caravan of black suv's. As soon as they reached the house Christopher gave her a stern look, "Go to your room and stay there."

"Chris?"

"Do as I ask! Go!" He turned to a group of the house security. Raven frowned as she slowly made her way to her room. She walked to her dresser and started to take off her ear rings. She gasped as she looked to her bruised arm. She cringed as she lightly touched the black and blue marks.  Her eyes moved to the reflection of the doorway as she heard Christopher open it and stood silently as he studied her arm. Raven looked down as she tried to slowly put her hand over it hoping he hadn't seen it.

Christopher quickly stepped to her and spun her around to look at him. He breathed hard as he removed her hand. Raven bit her lip as he rubbed the bruises with his thumb.

He had sympathetic eyes as he looked up to her sweet face, "I should have ended him. I didn't know he was hurting you. "

Raven stroked his cheek, "That's what he wanted. He feeds off of pain."

He cupped her face and stroked both sides,  " What were you going to tell me before we were so rudely interrupted?"

Raven pulled away from his hands, Nothing.. It can wait."Christopher eased up behind her and kissed her bare back. Raven was in a daze, "What
did she mean, where you two left off?"

Christopher continued to kiss her back up to her neck, "She gave me head before I broke up with Skyler."

Raven sighed as she raised her head while stepping away from him. He roughly pulled her to him. He leaned and whispered in her ear, "She's nothing.. Do you understand..?"

Raven looked to the side as she spoke, "What am I to you?"

He smirked as he spoke against her neck. "Everything..."
