"Okay thats enough. Good night." Raven says, climbing off of me and laying down.
Let me tell you a secret. During the 31 days that we lived together, I never fell asleep before she did. I would suffer from insomnia...and finally fall asleep once I could hear her breathing. But that day, I fell asleep first. It turns ou, a great kiss was the best medicine to having a good night's sleep. The 32nd day of living together. That was the first time we didnt spend the day together.
"I have to go somewhere today. Dont wait for me." A note from Raven said.
She left me stew and eggs for breakfast.
(At a cofee shop)
"Its been a while...I thought you didn't want to see me for 18 months and 16 days...? You even told me not to text you, or else you were never going to see me again. Even though I begged you. I'm still waiting for you. I count the days...Thats how much I love you...Thats why I tolerated your strange request to spend some time apart." A man says. Raven gives no response, just sitting and sipping on her coffee.
"But why did it have to be 18 months and 16 days?" He asks.
Raven, without looking up and still sipping her coffee asks "do you want to have sex with me?"
"What?" The man asks confused.
"Do you want to?" Raven asks with a straight face.
"Of course I do! Thats not even a question. You're the woman I'm in love with. Why wouldnt I want to have sex with you?" He replies, with a grin.
"Lets do it then" she says sitting down her coffee.
The two make it to a motel and as the man strokes away inside of Raven, she just lays there motionless and with a straight face.
"Our 121st time...and it feels much worse today..." Raven thought to herself.
As they finish and begin getting dressed, the man turns to Raven.
"This means we're back together? We are right?" He says with a smirk.
"No. But I'm halving our time apart." She responds.
"What...?" He replies confused.
"9 months...and 8 days..." she says with a cold stare to him.
(Back at home)
"What..?" I asked as Raven explained. It was totally out of the blue.
"I'm shortening our time together. 9 months and 8 days...but during that time...I'm going to practice looking at you properly." Raven says.
