Sighing Raven stood up from the couch and inspected her new home thoroughly. After looking up close to each ornament, painting and statue Raven eventually found her way to the kitchen where she noticed there was a balcony.
Opening the glass door Raven stepped out into the fresh air. It was only after looking over the railing that she realised how high up the apartment was. The balcony wasn't overly big but it had a table with two chairs with an umbrella, which on sunny days would block out the sun. There were a few plants in different areas and right opposite the table was a hammock.
Raven couldn't help but think that only Rafe would put something so out of place with the rest of the apartment in it but Raven wasn't surprised.
"What's with the Mona Lisa smile".
Raven spun around to the speaker of the voice. Rafe stood at the opening of the door rubbing a towel through his thick black hair. He was wearing a pair of tracksuit bottoms… and nothing else!
Raven's emotions inside her went crazy. Happiness was giggling with delight and Lust was already drooling at the sight of Rafe's chest. Intelligence tutted and told her she better say something before Rafe caught on.
Pulling herself together Raven lifted one eyebrow and said in her coolest voice. "You've decided to speak then".
"I was thinking", answered Rafe as if it was obvious.
"And its difficult to speak and think at the same time", said Raven crossing her arms and glaring at the half naked man.
Rafe brought the towel down over his chest as if chasing a stray drop of water. Her glaze followed the towel.
"I did irritate you. Didn't I", sighed Rafe.
"Yes", answered Raven sharply. Was he doing that thing with the towel on purpose? If he was using it as a trick to get her into bed it was working.
Deciding it was best to get away from the problem Raven walked past her ex and back into the kitchen. From the kitchen she went to the living room and stood staring at the painting that hung in the dining area.
"My sister painted that you know".
Raven turned around to see Rafe had followed her back into the apartment.
"Wow", sighed Raven. "Its incredible".
"Yeah", nodded Rafe. "Maggie is good and all that art stuff. I however can barley draw a circle".
Raven let out a small laugh and turned to face him. "But you are good at that art stuff. Stealing it that is".
Rafe nodded thoughtfully. "I was good wasn't I. Not even your team could figure out who I was and it took you climbing into bed with me to find out".
Ravens smile had disappeared as quickly as it has appeared. Walking past him Raven made her way upstairs. A few minutes later Rafe heard a door slam.
Rafe slapped himself across the head. "Me and my stupid mouth. Why did I have to say that"? Collapsing on the couch Rafe took a deep breath and sighed.
Just as he was trying to think of what to do the phone rang. Heaving himself out of the chair Rafe walked over to where he had last left the phone.
"Hello".
"I know where you live", came the voice from the other end.
"Yes Maggie. I know you know where I live".
There was a giggle and Rafe knew from past experience that his sister was pouting. "How did you know it was me"?
"Because you've only done it a hundred time", smiled Rafe.
"Na hah. I only did one hundred and eleven times".
Maggie was Rafe's younger by three years. However Maggie had never managed to quite grow up. With a lovely curvy figure and curly almost black hair Maggie had been the fancy of many boys and being her big brother of course Rafe had to do a bit of threatening when he was younger.
Now that Rafe had moved out of the family home he had to trust Maggie was able to make the right decisions. Rafe had managed to convince himself that he did trust her. That didn't explain though whenever he found who Maggie was dating he went through the mans personal files.
"Did you pick up Rachel yet", asked Maggie.
"Yeah", said Rafe nodding even though no one could see it. Maggie knew about Raven but had no idea who Raven really was.
Maggie just thought that Raven was just an ordinary girl. Well she had that wrong anyway.
"So tell me what's she like. I want to hear everything about her", exclaimed Maggie acting like a schoolgirl hearing about her best friends crush.
"Well she's em… nice and".
"Is she hot".
"Maggie!", shouted Rafe shocked. He had enough trouble keeping up with what boys she liked. Now there would be girls as well.
"Rafe I know what you're like. All the girls you were ever with were hot but none of those girls ever lived with you", said Maggie thoughtfully.
"Maggie why did you ring", said Rafe wearily.
Raven finally sat on her bed after spending the last five minutes pacing muttering curses about her ex who was currently downstairs. He didn't even have the decency to come and apologize to her.
"Stupid thief", sighed Raven collapsing back on her soft bed.
Even with her anger she couldn't help but be impressed by the bedroom. The ceiling followed the roofline over the big double bed.
The room was furnished with an oak wardrobe and a dressing table, which had several hairbrushes, straighter, curlers and a hairdryer. Raven had inspected them earlier and discovered had on each of them was written. "Property of Alexia. Do not touch. This means you Maggie". There was a full-length mirror in the corner as well.
Taking in several deep breaths and chanting her mantra Raven managed to calm herself. Picking herself up Raven walked over the mirror inspecting herself. Her bump was very small. Only if you were looking for her bump would you notice it.
Looking at her face she was surprised to see tear stains running down her face. She had been crying. Crying over that stupid thief. Sighing Raven walked into the en suite and picking up a cloth carefully washing her face.
"Come on Raven. Pull yourself together", Raven muttered to herself.
Walking back to her room she noticed everything was the same except for one thing. One the bedside locker that had previously been empty now held an enormous vase of pale rose-touched lilies.
Walking hesitantly over to the vase she noticed there was a small card. Picking it up and reading it she couldn't help but smile. On the card in a messy scrawl was written "Really sorry Raven. I know I'm an idiot. Forgive me. P.S look behind you".
Spinning around she saw that Rafe was leaning against the side of her door smiling cockily and he still hadn't put on a shirt. She still didn't know if it was on purpose or not. Well it was certainly helping his case.
"Well forgive me", smirked the thief. He was so sure that she was going to forgive him. Well Raven wasn't going to break that easily.
"You hurt me X", muttered Raven turning around so he couldn't see her face or how close she was too crying.
She sensed the change in his emotions straight away. Now all she could feel from the thief was concern and regret. "Hey Rae. Come on. I know I hurt you but I'm really sorry".
Getting no response from the ex titan Rafe walked up to the young woman and turned her around so he could look in her face. "Hey Rae", said Rafe gently. That's when Raven lost it.
Throwing herself into Rafe's bare chest Raven started to sob uncontrollably. Acting on instinct Rafe quickly drew his arms around her and started hushing her quietly.
"I just… I don't want to get hurt again", cried Raven.
"You won't", assured Rafe. "I promise".
Raven didn't seem to hear his words. She seemed to be only talking to herself not noticing what she was saying. "I've lost all my friends, my baby is in danger and I don't want to be someone who hurts me".
"Raven. I promise I won't hurt you ever again", Rafe tried to console but Raven wouldn't listen.
"You left me and… hiccup … and the baby".
"Raven look at me", shouted Rafe firmly. Raven looked up. In her face there was fear and confusion. Guilt fled through Rafe's body
"Raven", said Rafe in a gentler tone. "I will be here for you and our baby. I promise you I will never hurt you ever again".
Raven nodded. A few stray tears fell down her face, which Rafe wiped away. "Do you want some tea", asked Rafe. Raven nodded but she still clung to her beau.
Smiling Rafe picked her up and carried her back downstairs. Rafe was concentrating so much on not falling down the stairs that he did not notice that Raven had fallen asleep in his arms. In was only when he lay Raven down on the couch did he notice that Raven was asleep.
Sitting down beside her Rafe swept away some hair that had fallen over Raven's face. Giving her a quick kiss on the forehead he watched Raven smile contently and snuggle into the couch.
"I love you", whispered Rafe pulling Raven closer to him and lying back on the couch fell into a deep sleep where his dreams consisted of the dark mystic.
Aww! Young love. anway review
