...

This morning , Raven had felt the absence of his warmth against her back, rolling over ; the sheets tangling around her legs. She streatched her arm out from beneath the sheet, feeling the cool air brush against her skin as she patted around at the space beside her. Craking open bleery eyes she peered around the room in search for her blonde haired friend, only to find the space he had previously occupied the night before, empty.

The sheets were cool to the touch, signifying that he'd been gone for awhile. Raven uttered a soft groan as she sat up, the sheets falling to pool around her waist. Running a hand over her face in an attempt to wipe the sleepyness from her face , she moved to detail her legs from the sheets. The hard wood floor beneath her feet was cold and almost sent her back into the warmth of the bed.

The silver anklet breaches around both of her ankles jingled asShe walked towards her bedroom door detangling her hair with her fingers as she made her way into the living room area, only to come to see kori dressed casually in a grey pencil skirt and soft pink blouse, her hair pulled up into a high pony tail, and beside her stood Mr. Connor from last night at the gala, were in a standardized black suit and tie. Accompanying him was Mr. Todd from the other night as well, dressed in a similar attire as he was last night. Though her eyes were immeadiatly drawn to Garfield , who was leaning against th side of the couch a smug grin stretched across his attractive face. The white button up shirt he sported was pulled tight across his broad chest and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows; his arms were crossed over his chest, and his long legs were encased in a pair of black pants.

Raven felt her cheeks heat up at the fact that here all of them were awake and dressed for the meeting , and there she stood in a too small yellow tank top and a pair of black boy short underwear.

" Miss. Rachel?" Her eyes flitted towards Jason, he had an amused smile curving the corners of his mouth.

" Ahm...I'm so sorry to Interrupt-" Raven paused to take in a shaky breath as she redirected her gaze towards Garfield. " But I need to steel my boyfriend away for a few moments. Gar.. do you mind?" She crooked her finger at him in a 'come hither ' motion and Her tummy warmed up with a tingly sensation at calling him her boyfriend out loud.

Jason blinked for a moment albeit surprised at her words at redirected his gaze towards the blond haired man opposite of him,only to see him flash a satisfyed smirk and dissapear around the corner with raven, the two away from prying eyes..

Raven yanked Gar into their shared room, closing the door behind them.

" Why didn't you wake me up?" She stared up at him hotly , her cheeks still red from embarrassment.

" Payback for last night. Although if I had known your. I ghat clothes were so reveling I wouldn't have let you sleep in. " his smile swiftly changed into a frown as he gave her body a once over.

" What? But you apologized last night." She huffed crossing g her arms beneath her chest .

" No, I apologized for the outburt, entailing how I handled it. I could went about the situation in a more calmer way. Which would've been more effective in showing you how badly you were displaying your character last night. But I didn't and I apologized for the way I approched the subject. Because I was in the right Rae. " He gave her a firm look as he backed her up against the door, his hand dropping down and turning the lock.

" But...I wasn't flirting..." her argument sounded weak even to her own ears as she gave a shifty glance at the door. " Why are you locking the door Gar?"

" You were. You may not realize it but you were. " He placed both hands against the door on either side of her head as he leaned in closer to her , a predatory grin on his mouth,his canines looked so sharp, they looked dangerous yet alluring all the same . His eyes head a certain shine to them as he got closer to her.

" I locked it because I'm going to remind you who your supposed to be."His breath was warm and smelled of mint as it fanned over her face.

" Of who you belong to." He murmured roughly as he brushed his lips against the corner of her mouth. Her body stiffened and a small jolt of electricity ran down her spine, she shivered beneath him as she parted her lips to say something.

" What...you have a girlfriend." Her words were breathy and quite as she looked at his eyes ,flitting from one to the other , looking for some sort of sign that he was playing with her.

" Yeah. You." The corner of his mouth twitched upwards as if he was amused with the whole situation.

" What, no I mean terra!" Raven narrowed her eyes at him as she placed both hands against his chest applying some sort of pressure.

He seemed to pause at her words, his gaze glancing off to the side.

" Rae...it's not like that..." he seemed to be struggling with the words to describe what he wanted to tell her. he pulled his bottom lip between his teeth as he debated something for several long moments , before he dropped his head into the crook of her neck .

" During this mission...it stats just us." He whispered against her neck , his lips pressed against the skin there in an almost nonexistent kiss.

Raven wanted to tell him that he was wrong. That what he was saying - doing was wrong. But that small part of her that was greedy and craved to have him seemed to cloud over her good judgment as she didn't push him away.

His tongue slipped out from between his lips to lave over the smooth surface of her skin, his teeth scraping over it, threatening to break through it as he bit down at the junction were her neck met her shoulder. Revenge let out a soft sigh as her head seemed to loll back against the door, her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt , holding him close to her body.

But just as quickly as th blissful feeling had appeared it dissapated even faster as he moved his body back and way from her . His hands pulled hers away from his shirt as he just stared at her in an cross between shock and awe. For what she didn't know.

" You...uh...you should hurry up and get dressed. They were wanting to go over some of the details over lunch." He said as he sucked air through his teeth , his gaze dragging over her body, lingering at her neck before leaving her completely to settle on the wood of the door.

Raven stood there silently and lost as he unlocked the door and slipped out of the room , leaving her dumbfounded as too what just took place.

She couldn't figure out if he was being serious or if he was getting way to into character.

Garfield dialed up a number in his phone as he stood outside the the restaurant, holding 5 he phone up against his ear he waited impatiently for the person to pick up the phone.

" Hello ? " a feminine voice filtered through and he gave a sigh of relief that she had picked up.

" Terra ? Hey , ok so I have so much to tell you." He let out a breath and sagged forward a bit as he stuffed his free hand into the pocket of his pants.

"What's going on? Is it about the mission?"

" No. I kissed- Raven-" He whispered her name just in case anyone was listening in. " well not formally but ...on her neck."

" So the plans working ? That's great to hear. Wait how did she react?"

" I don't really know. I mean she didn't push me away. But she did say that I shouldn't cos' have a girlfriend. " an amused smile played on his lips at the prospect.

"So you mean you haven't told her yet? About us? BB! She's totally gonna push you away now!"

" Shhh. Can down. I don't wanna tell her yet. Not untill I'm absolutely sure that...that she returns the interest." He moved up off the wall and glances inside the restaurant , seeing Raven sitting next to Kori at the table talking to and Mr. Todd.

" Hey look imma let you go. " he murmured into the phone and hung up not even waiting to hear her reply as he made his way into the the restaurant and over to the table , sliding into the seat beside Raven. He leaned over and placed a small kiss to her cheek .

" So was it? How do you feel about our offer?" Jason asked as he stared at the interaction between the two .

" It's Logan actually, I took my dad's last name after my dad and Kori's mom split." Gar smiled as he intertwined his hand with Raven under the table, his other reaching over to grab his drink.

" As for your offer , I don't then I'll have any issues with that position. "

" I see."

Gar held his gaze , in what seemed to be some sort of male stand off as the two shared a similar distaste for the other.
