The Unkindness Of Raven

The Unkindness Of Raven| 26

TWENTY-SIX| RAVEN

            RAVEN couldn't understand what kind of fight would have your best friend beats the hell out of you. Something was off and Raven could sense it as she could tell that he rather tells Sebastian but she understands since she hasn't really been friend with him. They have just started to have civilized conversations without her laying her hands on him. 

     She had the feeling to beat the hell out of him, but for some reason, she had develope sympathy for him. All due to the fact he had helped to not let her drink any of the spiked Champagne at the Dinner earlier tonight and he has open up to her about his relationship with Max. She knows there's more but she will leave that part for him to share tomorrow. 

         She pulled onto the curb right in front of Lousiville Hotel and pulled the drive stick into Park, as she looks over at Lionel almost asleep in the backseat. After the small talk, he requested to take him to a Garage where Watson was working, where Harry, the guy from the Ice-Cream truck fix up his cuts and gave him an Asprin and a bottle of water to ease his headache. Since he didn't want to go home and let his parents see him like that looking like he just coming from some street fight.

    His parents were a bit stuck up and cared about their reputation than their son's everyday struggles. "He'll be fine," She hears Sebastian told her as he pushes the door open and climbs out as she did too and he rushes to the back of the car to retrieve her shoes.

"Sorry we couldn't check out the rink tonight," He told her as they walked towards the hotel as the door slide opens upon their approach. "It's okay, I can go another time," she said as they walked towards the elevator and waited for it to stop for them. 

         "How about I take you take for our second date tomorrow after school?" he asked with a grin as she stares up at him. "Sure," She answered as someone bumps into her. She turns to see a girl dress in Jeans and an Eddington High sprinting towards the door.  "What is that?" Sebastian asked as he bends down to retrieve a white envelope with her name printed on it by a black sharpie. Raven took it from him she turns it over; On the flap was written: Read Alone. 

    "There's no way in hell I'm letting you read whatever is inside that alone," Sebastian blurted out as the elevator door bings open and couple people stumbled out. After everyone got out they both went in as Raven bend the envelope into and slips into her heels. 

  "I follow instructions, so I'm sorry." She said as he presses the number 78 once on the palette instead of twice. "Alright just promise me tomorrow you'll let me know what inside," He said as she nodded and stare up at Digital numbers that were blinking as it goes up towards her floor number. The elevator came to a quick stop and they both step out and went down the hallway leading towards her. "I think everything is working out for you," Sebastian said.

"I don't think, I am not even once inch close to figuring out who killed my brother?" she answered.

"Yeah, But at least you have help now," he said, she looks at him.

"Yeah," she smiled.

"Can I ask you a question?" He asked as they came to a stop at her door and she searches for her key. "Do you talk to Mr. Nonage about this stuff?" he asked.

"No, Why you ask?" she answered.

"I sense something off with him tonight." he words out his concern.

"I didn't see anything apart from the fact that he was dress properly in all the months I have gotten to know him." Raven chuckled.

"What did you see?"

"I think he's into you," Sebastian said out loud, Raven laugh out.

"Are you kidding me that guy is old enough to be my father or something," Raven chuckled.

"I am telling you, Raven, he's into you," Sebastian said as she pushes the key into the lock.

"And how would you know that?" Raven asked.

"Because I am a guy and I  know," he said. Raven stare up at him, "I'm sorry you are sounding like my overprotective brother so I don't think I believe you." She said as he pulled her back and capture her mouth with his. His lips were warm and wet as she feels his firm ones onto hers. She releases her heels and slowly snakes her hands around his neck as he pulled her close to him and brace her against the wall as she felt his hand in her hair.

His mouth tastes like Cranberry it was from the cranberry water that he had purchased at the Harry Garage earlier.  Raven release a moan as he massages the back of her neck. She has kiss a few guys but none of them never let butterflies erupt in the bottom of her stomach and makes her wants to jump their bone as Sebastian was. She released her mouth and trail kisses down her cheek and then back up to her mouth until he pulls away as a couple rounded the corner. Raven bend down to retrieve her heels.

     " I gotta go in and let Mario know I am home," She said as she turns the key in the lock and it clicks open. She reaches in and slips the light on. "Alright sleep tight my ladybug," he smiled at her. Raven nodded and she went shutting the door. She leans back onto the door as she touches her lips, she likes being kiss by Sebastian. It was her phone that chimes her out of her thought as she realized it was a text from Mario asking if she has reach home so she simply replies and sends him picture poof of herself standing by the door.

    Raven kicked off her shoes as she reaches for the envelope that she has stuck inside her shoes but before she opens it, the doorbell rang. She quickly places the envelope under one of the magazines and went towards the door. She slowly opens the door to the find, someone, she didn't expect to be standing at the door.
