EXT. EMPTY STREET - MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

A young woman appears to be in the pouring rain- completely drenched, clothing sticking to her as if it was her second skin- she stands a couple feet away from a large red door.

She stares in complete apathy at the door. It seems that she doesn't have the will to move her shivering body.

The rain continues to thunder down upon her head. She blinks. Once. Twice, finally realizing where she is, in a slow rememberence. She opens her mouth to speak. It remains that way for a couple minutes before she decides to close it.

Looking down she realizes that her shoes are completely soak and the only thing she has with her is a drenched plane ticket in one hand.

"I.." She whispers in a somewhat lost tone. Her name is Raven Roth. Young at the age of 24.

Raven, continued to stand there in the thunder of the rain, she looks down in her hand to see the ticket, just waiting in her now wrinkled and cold hand. She watches as the ticket limply falls from her hand landing in a soft splash of water.

She looks up once again at the large red door.

A window lights up next to the door. A young man peers from the curtains. He stares at the young woman standing in the rain.

Raven stares at him for a second. She closes her eyes and sighs deeply. She turned her head to her side before she opens her eyes once again. She walks slowly away. He stares at her figure for a moment before dashing out the front door to chase after her. He stands out of his door, yelling her name. She continues to recede from his sight. He runs to the middle of the street, rounding his hands around his mouth, and yelling again. She freezes mid-step and slowly puts her foot down. A short of breath can be seen through the frigid and rainy night, as she sighs heavily.

She makes no move to turn back as she gets in her car and drives away.

He looks down in defeat. He sees a small white form beneath his foot. Moving his foot to the side slowly, he is suprised to find a blurred plane ticket. He picks it up and stares at it for a moment before looking back where he last saw her. His name is Richard Greyson. Sorrow at the age of 26.

He lets her name fly into the wind in such a whisper of sadness that he did not believe his own ears.

EXT. STOPLIGHT - COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS AWAY

She slowly stepped on the breaks as she waits for the lights to turn green. She stares right ahead as if looking for something. A tear falls. And another. She lowers her head to her driving wheel and begins to shake. She sobs.

---

"What are you doing outside? Come in." A young woman yells from the red door, covering herself in a bathrobe. He makes no move as he continues to stare down the street. He watched as the car had stopped infront of a light. Raven.. I..I didn't know..he thought sadly.

MEMORY

She paid for her tea. Turning around, she completely runs into the person infront of her. She gasps and looks at the brown colored stain on a white background. Hearing an amused laughter, she looks up into the eyes of her victim, laughing.

She stands there, wondering why in the world would this person laugh if he just got hot tea spilled all over him on his clean white shirt, no less. She watches as he calms down and looks down at her, she hasn't noticed that he was staring back at her. She blinks and smiles a nervous grin before grabbing a couple napkins from the counter and dabbing his shirt with it.

"I'm so sorry. I'll get you tea, I'll pay for your tea! I totally ruined your white shirt! What are you doing wearing a shirt like that in a place like this anyway? You'll totally get stained." She continues to dabble his shirt as he stares at her in an amused smile. She blushes while she throws the napkins away.

She smiles. "I apologize for your shirt." Gesturing with her hand towards the stain on his chest.

He chuckles. "Why, a tea might not do it, you might actually need to buy me a shirt."

She laughs softly, "Haha! You wish buddy, come on, I'll get you a cup of tea and we can discuss that shirt of yours and you won't report me to the Stain Police. Deal?" She thrusts her hand toward him.

He shakes it. "Deal. But I'll have black coffee."

She seems bedazzled for a moment, and chuckles for a moment before going in line again to get them both a drink. He stands there smiling, "What?" his hands in the air as if a surrender. He laughs quietly and finds a booth near the window.

She comes to the booth and sets down his black coffee infront of him and sits herself down infront of him.

She takes a sip of her To-Go cup and smiles, both elbows on the table and her cup loosley hanging from her hands.

"I didn't get your name." Tilting her head to the side, she smiles.

"I didn't get yours." He smiles.

"Roth. Raven Roth." She sticks her tongue out at him playfully.

"Greyson. Richard Greyson." He raises his eyebrows as he drinks his tea, trying not to laugh at her childish expression.

She laughs and puts down her cup. "So bond-ish of you."

He bows his head, "Thank you."

He puts down his coffee, "But you started it, so, it's bondish of you."

"Then thank yooou." She grins.

"No, Thank you." He grins back.

She laughs. "What are you thanking me for?"

"No clue." He laughs.

She laughs softly, "Why, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." She sips her tea, smiling. She sits back, looking to the window, watching people pass by.

He puts his elbow on the table and rests his cheek in his hand. His cup of coffee peacefully resting in his hand. He stares at her, smiling. "I do believe so."

Raven calms herself down before wiping the tears with the back of her hand. She starts to drive back "home." Her engine quietly purring on a deserted late night street. Lit by only tiny yellow dots, Streetlights my butt, she chuckles.

Richard, already in the house, walks toward the girl with a fake smile and kisses her on the cheek. "It was nothing. I thought I saw a puppy. I'm going to go take a shower."

The girl, Kory, looks at him as he closes the bathroom door behind him. She sighs deeply, going into the bedroom and lays down to sleep, thinking nothing of it.

Once he's in the bathroom, he turns on the shower and looks at himself in the mirrow. Both hands on the sink, he stares hard into his reflection. Turning on the sink, he splashes his face with cold water. Stripping off his wet clothes and stepping into the shower, he stands against the wall. As the hot water sprays against his chest, he sighs deeply in hard concentration.

MEMORY

Grinning, he watched as she laughed.

God, was she beautiful when she laughed.

It was still wonderous to him as to how such a maiden had fallen for him.

He had found out that she was the girl who was moving in next door to him in his apartment building.

He never really payed attention at first, saw a few boxes by the door, but he had been running late to school, and he still had to stop by the cafe across the street to get some coffee. I suppose he didn't notice the curious look the girl held as he sped by her, trying to catch a closing elevator. She simply laughed it off.

When that lovely moment when he had gotten tea spilled all over his favorite shirt, he was stunned at first, of course he was, who wouldn't? But quickly found it ironic and chuckled at the young woman infront of him, trying desperately to clean his shirt.

It seemed so long ago, but it was only months, and here they were, ontop of a hill having a picnic - celebrating a job promotion that he had recieved earlier that day.

Raven calmed down from her fit of laughter and she remained to smile, "So are you going to tell me the promotion? Because being suddenly dragged out of work then brought to a picnic, no less, and I'm still waiting for your explanation."

Yes, it had been true, once his boss had told him the news, he ran off, called Raven and told her to meet him outside of her office building. He drove up and told her to get in the car with a grin, and of course she complied. And here they were.

He smirked. "Mr Garland had been talking to a few branches overseas, and heard that there was a posistion for Assistant CEO, and he talked them into giving me the job. It was so crazy, I mean wow, one moment, I was an Executive and then CEO. It's unbelievable."

She continued to smile warmly at him, happy that he was so overjoyed about this.

"But-" He paused, looking at her, his smile toned down a bit. "It's in Paris."

Her smiled faultered for a second, then the smile was back in place, so quick that no one would have noticed, but with his skills, he did.

Taking a quick intake of breath, and returning her smile back, "Oh.." She smiled wider, "I bet you'll find european girls.. a bit different from american girls."


AN: Ahhhhh! This was.. like one of my very first stories. I usually roleplay, I don't write much. But I have soo many ideas and my imagination is just killing me. It's just hard to write it down. Maybe I'll update it, maybe I'll leave it as is.

Hearts, Ist.
