Love Me Anyways

Chapter Seven

I wake up, my heart's racing and I'm sweating. Raya's already awake, she looks as if she had seen a ghost. "Jay, are you okay?" Raya worries. I just look up at her, I honestly have no idea whether I'm okay or not.

"You were just freaking out, you were screaming, 'get off me!' and you were punching the pillows," Raya explains. I look at her for another minute not knowing how to respond. "Oh," I squeak. Raya pulls me into a hug, it causes me to gasp.

I'm starting to remember my night terror, it was my brother. He was doing things that I refuse to think about, things brothers should not do.

"It was Gorden my brother, it wasn't a nightmare it was a memory," I shudder. Raya kisses my forehead, it sends a warm feeling through my body. I glanced at the clock, it's three-fifteen in the afternoon.

"We should take showers and stuff," Raya changes the subject. "Yeah," I gave a small smile. I grab my clothing that I brought, and Raya shows me to the bathroom.

It's five-thirty, Raya and I have spent most of the day in bed watching movies. I texted Taytum to tell her I was okay, besides that not much has happened.

I focus my gaze on Raya, I can't seem to keep my eyes off her. She's beautiful, I've never met someone so perfect in my entire life. Raya notices my staring and blushes.

"You're cute," I smirk. Raya giggles, "I know I am, but what are you?" I can't help but laugh at her, she's so childish is the strangest ways. One moment she can be the most mature person I know, the next she's a complete jack in the box.

I notice she's looking at my lips, I bite my lip in response. Raya blushes when she sees that I noticed. I lean in so that our lips are inches apart, my heart begins to race.

Raya puts her hands in my hair, and closes the gap between us. As she kisses me, fireworks go off throughout my entire body. I've never felt anything so right. Raya's lips are soft, they taste as sweet as she smells.

I push her back against the frame of the bed. I'm still fighting off the bad memories, but it's easier this time. I'm suppressing a moan in my throat. I bite Raya's bottom lip, she lets out a small moan that sends chills through my body.

I put my hands onto her stomach, and slowly move up to just below her breasts. Raya lets out a small moan, she bites my lip sending chills through my body. "Ray," I quietly gasp.

I'm fighting my lungs for air, Raya's doing the same. I pull away from her and plop down, my back hitting the pillows. "That was amazing," I smirk. "I agree," Raya states.

We sit there for a moment in silence, just getting lost in each others eyes. "Want to know something?" Raya gives me a curious look. I nod my head in response. "I don't just sing alone, I perform in actual concerts," Raya takes me by surprise.

I had no clue, but I already knew she was good enough. "That's really cool," I smile. Raya blushes as she starts her other sentence, "I have a concert tomorrow night, it's in the baseball stadium. I was wondering if you'd like to come?" Raya asks. I think my face gave my answer away. "I'd love to come," I state.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's now Saturday afternoon, Raya and I are preparing for her concert. She's wearing a blue and green flannel and ripped jeans. Raya looks gorgeous, everything about her is perfect. The way those jeans fit on her, it's amazing.

"What ya looking at?" Raya comments. "You, what else would I look at?" I counter. Raya laughs as she blushes. Holy shit she's the most stunning girl I've ever met.
