i'm tired of feeling comatose {raven's song: book two}

eleven • spa day

Chris's POV

Today, I was actually awake before Raven. I decided to cook breakfast and let her sleep in. It was two days after her fight with Jessie, so I figured she was sore.

Connor broke up with Jessie. He was to good for her, anyways. She was crazy, trying to tell Raven that I didn't love her.

"Damn it," I curse as I burn the pancake I was cooking.

I could burn anything. I could burn water, for hell's sake. I'm good at grilling, though. Could I grill pancakes?

I heard Raven's soft footsteps walking into the kitchen. I tried flipping the second pancake, and it wasn't burned this time.

Raven said good morning and began to pour herself a cup of coffee. I successfully made two more pancakes as well.

"How do you feel?" I ask her.

She shrugs and sips on her coffee. "I feel okay."

"Is there anything you want to do today?"

The look on her face tells me that she's thinking, so I flip another pancake.

"Can we go to a spa?" She questions.

I nod. "Sure. Just don't make me get my nails done and my brows threaded."

"You don't even have brows."

I scoff. "Exactly. That's not gonna end well."

Raven laughs a little and takes another drink. "Okay, deal. No manicures, pedicures, or brow threading."

"Good. Let's eat my horrible breakfast and then get ready."

"I'm sure it'll taste good."

"Yeah, we'll see."

Raven was finally ready. It took her thirty minutes to put on yoga pants and my Misfits shirt, as well as mascara and eyebrows. I did my eyebrows in five minutes and I was ready.

"Hurry up," I groan as she puts her shoes on.

"Shut up, Christopher. It takes a long time to look this hot."

I roll my eyes. "You're so slow."

She finally stands up and sticks her tongue out at me. I do the same, and then we laugh at how childish we are sometimes.

Raven begins fiddling with the radio when we get inside the car. I guess she couldn't find anything, because she plugged her phone into the auxiliary cord. I heard a very familiar song start playing.

I hold your hand in mine
I hold your hand and you're so lonely
Oh so lonely

You're eyes have lost their light
You're eyes have lost their light and you're empty
Oh my god, you're so empty

Then, I hear Raven's beautiful voice singing. I couldn't help but join in.

I'm in love with you
You are my heaven tonight
I'm in love with you
You are my heaven tonight
I'm in love with you

The song was Heaven Tonight by HIM. It was Raven's favorite song off of Razorblade Romance.

Once the song was over, she said, "I love you, Chris."

I smile and glance over at her. "I love you, too."

"I wanna get a tattoo," she tells me. "Honoring our relationship, and this song."

"Tell me about it."

"It'll say 'you are my heaven tonight' and underneath it, it will have our anniversary, which is May 16th."

"We can get matching ones," I suggest. "Unless that's too corny."

"No, let's do it."

"How about after we go to the spa we'll go see Angelo?"

She nods. "Okay."

We arrive at the spa and walk inside. The people inside looked a bit worried when they saw us. Maybe it was the makeup.

"Walk in or appointment?" The lady questions.

"Walk in."

"Together or separate?"

"Together."

"And what's your last name or names?"

I look to Raven, not knowing whether to use Cerulli or Bell, or both. She shrugs and says, "Cerulli."

She nods. "I'll get you two set up. Have a seat and I'll call your last name."

As we walk to go sit down, I mess with her. "So, you want my last name?"

"Maybe."

"We'd have to get married."

"No shit."

I smirk. "You want to marry me?"

"Maybe in the future. I'm still thinking about it."

"Hey! Rude!" I exclaim.

"You asked."

"True."

She leans her head against my shoulder as we wait to get called. We do about ten minutes later and we're escorted to a basic room with all the basic spa shit.

I probably looked so stupid in a white robe with a face mask and cucumbers on my eyes, but it made Raven happy. And I'm not gonna lie, getting massaged felt pretty nice.

Everything took about two hours, and then we were on our way to Angelo's shop. I liked spending days with Raven. It's almost like she never left.

Another filler. I need to see Motionless in concert again, though. It's so fun!
