Dreaming the truth

chapter six

(Raven's point of view)

I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Fox fast asleep beside me. we were facing eachother. I smiled and gently kissed his forehead, careful not to wake him, and slid out of bed. I found my black slippers and slipped them on, grabbing my phone off the charger, and walking into the kitchen.

I quickly peeked into Karie's room and smiled as she was asleep as well. I shut the door behind me and looked at the clock. 10:48 am. I rolled my eyes and continued to the kitchen.

"A nice breakfast will wake them up." I said quietly, pulling items from the refridgerator.

About an hour passed before Fox came into the kitchen, scrtching the back of his head. "I smell.... Eggs?" he asked, yawning.

I smiled and nodded, setting a plate of eggs, bacon, and waffles on the island. he sat on the barstool and dug in.

"Damn you're a good cook." he grinned, finishing his breakfast.

I smiled. "Why thank you." I said happily, dancing over to him and taking his plate and setting in in the sink to be washed later.

I joined him at the Island and we just sat there, talking about Katt (Kattnip, one of our friends) and Chisamea (MY bestfriend and Katts girlfriend.)

"It took him FOREVER just to ask her out!" I complained. Fox laughed.

"Yeah. good thing Holly took Chisamea to the city that day." he said.

I cringed at that name. Holly. Holly was the bitch who fucked up my life after mum died.

Fox noticed my actions and took my hand into his. "It's in the past..." he whispered.

I couldn't help but nod in agreement. It really was in the past and she can't hurt me anymore. She was out touring the world with her 'Rock star boyfriend'.

*************

The three of us were walking on the forest trail. Fox and I were holding eachothers hands, swinging them back and forth while Karie trailed behind, listening to her IPod. We reached near the end of the trail and discovered a river with a waterfall nearby. The water wasn't falling too far. Fox was looking around the area.

"What's on your mind?" I asked. as he stopped. Karie wasn't paying attention so she bumped into me and I laughed.

Fox grinned and dragged Karie and I towards the top of the waterfall. We stood, looking down at the rushing water. Fox had taken my phone, Karie's IPod, and his phone and had set them on a flat rock away from the water. We looked at him in confusion.

"What are we d-" I screamed as Fox pushed me off the edge of the cliff and into the water. I fell down the waterfall and ended up in the water below. I went under and reappeared a moment later, angry as ever. "FOX!" I shouted, floating in the middle of the pool.

Fox and Karie were laughing at the top. I laughed as Karie shoved Fox over the edge and he landed in the water beside me. He  resurfaced and was laughing hard.

"Not so funny when it happens to you huh?" I taunted.

Fox laughed and swam towards me. I screamed playfully and swam away. I dove under the water, my clothes poofing up with water. I laughed inside my head and swam towards Fox's legs. He was trying to find me in the water. I smiled, careful not to let go of my breath, and grabbed his legs, pulling him under the water. He flailed his arms and swam upward. I reamerged as well, laughing.

Fox was laughing as well. I shreicked when Karie jumped into the water, splashing us both with a huge splash.

"Now look what you did." I laughed. "We're all wet!"

Fox laughed as I swam towards him, putting my arms around him and kissing him. I pulled away and smiled at him, trying not to laugh. Fox grinned and grabbed my face, kissing me in return. We broke away and laughed as Karie was swimming around us like a shark.

********************

We had left the river and were now headed back to the cabin. We were all dripping with water, Fox especially. I laughed, opening the door and stumbling inside. Karie went straight to the bathroom, returning with three towels. Fox and I took a towel and he wrapped his around me before I had the chance to get mine on. I smiled and gave him my towel.

I sat down on the couch and Fox sat beside me, wrapping his arm around me with his towel as well. I smiled, cuddling up against him and switching on the television. Karie had gone to her temporary room.

At this moment, I was the happiest girl in the world.
