We Meet Again

Twenty-nine

(Writer)

Terra and Dylan pulled out of the garage and traveled down the street of their cul-de-sac, then made a right heading on their way. Ivy crept from behind the huge oak tree that stood only three feet from the property and started to look for clues of entry. When she noticed none, she paged Rose for assistance. Rose, with a few pings of her computer, gained Terra's security code to the house and shut down the alarm. Ivy quickly and stealthily entered the house with an ice pick in hand, ready and waiting for the two to come back home.

(Meanwhile)

BB was drilling the last few screws into Jr's bookshelf, while Raven sat on the floor fascinated by his choices in ligature. She always loved to read, and she found it comforting that her own offspring inherited her passion for books.

"Look BB, he's even has the original The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. By C.S. Lewis! This was my favorite when I was little."

"Oh yeah! You toted that freaky book around everywhere you went, until you found out who it was from."

Raven received that book on her sixth birthday as a gift from her father Trigon. Needless to say, when Arella finally told her who gifted it to her when she was 11, Raven discarded it without a moment's notice.

"Well I did read it hundreds of times, so I guess it gotten its use."

"Or you just hated your father the whole time." BB walked over to her to sort the books and started to put them on the shelves.

"I didn't hate him then. I just...I don't know. He's a faded memory now." Raven put the book down and started rubbing her arms, looking towards the wall. The only time she felt ashamed for what she did to him, and the original Beast was now, while in the company of the only person she didn't want to look at her differently.

Gar noticed her angst and put his arm around her, pulling her into him. He lifted her face to him with his index finger and smiled at her warmly.

"If it helps mama... I hated him too." Raven smiled then looked down at his lips. BB followed her eyes and raked his fingers down the side of her arm. They glared at one another, then they both went in for a small but passionate kiss.

It was what they both wanted for the entire day. When they ceased, they both shared a content smile, while resting their foreheads together.

"Come on mama. I think that we've been in here long enough." BB said as he stood and held his hand out for her. Raven graciously accepted, then they both left Jr's bedroom. Raven sat on the couch whilst BB looked at his cell that was annoyingly buzzing in his pocket.

"Should I be worried? It was going off for quite some time." Raven said as she rested her hands on her head-arms propped up on her knees.

"Naw. It's just a part of my past that I don't want to relive... like ever! Hey, you hungry? I can fix you something." BB said then Raven let off a sarcastic laugh.

"You... cooking? Can you even boil an egg BB?"

"Pft, I have you know, I'm an expert!"

"Uh... yeah. Is that's why all your pots and pans look like you've just bought them! Expert my pinky toe hmp."

"Well maybe I just wash dishes like a pro! Uh... yeah, I can't cook." They both laughed at his confession.

"Then, what were you planning on feeding me?" BB blushed as his mind went to the dirtiness of his desires. Raven, again caught on then blushed as well.

"Hum, I can make you a sandwich. Owh... and I can make a salad too. How's that sound little Ms Food Critic?"

"How about I make us something and you go relax. It's the least I can do for everything you've done for me."
