-"Those three words are said too much, they're not enough."
Chasing cars, Snow Patrol, 2006-
Dick had never been much of a procrastinator. Even as a young student he passed his homework in on time, he didn't like to stall. Unfortunately he felt the strong need to stall as much time as possible. He couldn't bring himself to make a decision for partner. He avoided Kory and Raven at all costs, a job that was made surprisingly easy considering they seemed to be avoiding him as well as each other. He actually expected a lot of ass kissing, and was mildly disappointed that they barely even spoke to him.
He hoped he wasn't the reason they were tense around each other. He remained completely oblivious about the black mailer. Raven paid the guy and that was it, but Kory took a different solution. Still she couldn't risk her relationship with Dick deteriorating because of it so she invited him to her house just to watch movies. Dick was slightly suspicious that this was a sabotage attempt. But, no when he arrived the sat on the couch and watched Leonardo DiCaprio sway Claire Danes off her feet in Romeo and Juliet. Kory watched admirable, wondering if this were them would Dick go through all that trouble, for her if they were in the same position.
"See how she leans her cheek upon her hand? Oh that I were a glove upon that hand. That I might touch that cheek." he whispered into Kory's ear sending shivers down her spine. He was naturally romantic like that. Kory pulled her ear away from his mouth, and kissed him gently. Dick responded by rubbing the side of her thigh. He asked, mentally permission to take her.
Kory hesitated but pulled from him and slowly unbuttoned the front of his shirt. She ran her cold fingers down his chiseled stomach. Gawd, where did he find the time to work out and look so hot. She straddled herself on top of him, and pulled her shirt above her hand. Dick didn't care what her bra looked like, if it had polka dots, stripes, made of frosting, he just wanted to see it on the floor. Besides it was dark he couldn't see anyways.
In the background Romeo was seducing Juliet, much like the way Kory was seducing Dick, not that he needed seducing. Kory kissed his neck while pulling at the top of his pants. She shimmied them onto the floor. Dick shifted positions so that he was on top, her back pressed into the suede. Dick was a bit quicker with the undressing. He pulled down her jeans, in the most needy and unsuccessful manner possible. He hoped he didn't seemed to desperate. He apologized to her by kissing trails down her back.
Her breathing shallowed as she closed her eyes attempting to control to growing flame inside her. He lifted her left thigh almost over his shoulder, and put himself inside her. Kory arched her back slightly, and reached her her arm out and grabbed a handful of a near by throw blanket. Dick matched each thrust in timely and rhythmic. Her moans were the the sinful chorus of a thousand flutes and angels. He drop her thigh, and ran his finders up her arm and clasped her hand.
He grabbed her by the waist, feeling the smoothness of her curvy hips. He flipped them over and let her be on top. She kept her eyes closed and pressed her stomach in and out. Dick put his hands on her thighs and groaned. She moaned his name. She felt herself achieve the highest point of love, and premarital bliss, She continued to grind her hips on top of his until it was clear he was finished. Panting and covered in sweat, Kory pushed herself off of him.
He put his arm around her shoulder, the both of them trying to catch their breath. "Kory," Dick said staring into the soul of her deep green eyes. "I love you." Before Kory could have time to react they were interupted by the loud banging of guns, Romeo just killed Tybalt. Kory leaned in closer to Dick, it was like everythig she dreamed of was finally coming true, she just hoped it didn't end like Romeo and Juliet.
Tensions in the office were so thick it could be cut with a chain saw. Dick took notice to the difference in attitude in Raven and Kory. They both seemed to be avoiding each other, and didn't stay in the same room for more than half a second. His guilt for making them wait for an answer, and the fact that he was destroying their friendship. It kept him up at night, whenever he tried to force a decision out of himself, irrational fear clouded his mind. He had this sick imagination that if he didn't pick Kory she would hate him and break up with him. But one night he had a dream Raven put a dead cat in his bed, the probability that she would actually do something like that was pretty great.
Dick still remained oblivious to the black mailer. He assumed the reason Raven and Kory seemed strained was because they were mad at each other because they both wanted the internship, he had no idea that they were avoiding each other because they both were being black mailed by the mysterious extortionist. Raven sat at her desk typing out projects for the unpaid interns, while Dick brushed in. "Raven, may I borrow a pen." he grumbled.
Without looking at him, she grabbed a pen out of the metal pencil dish on her desk. He mumbled a thanks and starting crossing out names. "Dick, I was hoping we could go over annuals." Kory said entering the tense office space.
"Kory!" Dick yelped. He was afraid she would think Raven was taking this opportunity to coerce him into into choosing her for partner. "We were just...I needed-" he stuttered holding up the pen. "Pen."
Kory furrowed at him, he was acting unnecessarily paranoid these days. But she in some ways understood, and tried to give him the space he so clearly needed. Subconsciously it was reverse psychology, she thought if she acted like she didn't want the partnership as much, he would give it to her. Was it uncharacteristically maniacal of her? Yes, but when you worked in this industry it required you to do things that were manipulative.
Kory rolled her eyes at Dick. "So can we go over annuals, or what." she asked. Standard procedure.
Dick nodded. "Sure? But first I have to go make copies of the already eliminated unpaid interns and post it on the company news board." he said after he was sure she was talking strictly business. Things were so crazy these days he could not be sure what was serious and what was sabotage. Dick backed out of the room shaking his head as he reviewed the interns.
Kory waited until he was out of ear shot, to turn her full attention to Raven. Raven tried her best to ignore her, it felt awkward knowing they were both being held for information they wanted kept out of the light. Now Raven knew there was something Kory sis that she wasn't proud of, and Kory knew there was things about Raven that they never ever spoke about but now evidently it was a seventy thousand dollar secret. Kory couldn't bear to just lay down for the bastard, plus she knew the if she just forked over the money this time he'd just come and ask for more later. It had to end now.
She shifted uncomfortably. "Raven," she said quietly. "I know about the black mailer." Raven stopped typing and her snapped towards Kory. "He tried to get me too. He said that he had information and tried to extort seventy grand from me. Si I called the FBI, and they got the guy."
Raven's expression remained unreadable. It was as usual hard to determine. Kory continued. "I am not allowed to give away information and I could get into a lot of trouble for telling you anything, but I trust you can keep a secret."
"Of course." Raven nodded once.
Kory stuck her head out the door, and scanned the hallway for eavesdroppers. She slowly shut the door while glaring at two lost interns. She hopped back into the room and pulled Raven onto the floor behind her desk. She pushed the leather chair out of the way and spoke in a low tone. "Apparently he has done this before, and the feds have been tailing him for quiet some time. I had heard that he was one the FBI's most wanted for fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, and accepting false tax refunds. A rookie let it slip to me that he was a former government agent."
Raven gave Kory a satisfied grin. "Looks like this guy will be spending serious time in prison. " she said "But really Kory I wish you had told me this before I paid that mother fucker."
Kory gave a small laughed. "Don't worry it will be returned to your account, but in small doss. It's suppose to be discreet so you don't find out him."
Raven knew better than that, although her father was perfectly legit although underhanded she knew that anyone who could alewd the government for so long had help, an inner circle. As much as Raven hated this thought, she had the feeling it wasn't over, and that the extortionist had something much more devious plan, maybe the money was just setting the game in play. She had no idea how right she was.
The door clicked open, Dick's shiny leather shoes glared in the sunlight. Raven grabbed a nail filer off of her desk, and stood up along side Kory. "Kory thank you for helping me find my nail filer." she said talking slowly so Kory had time to catch on.
"What? Oh, I mean no problem." Dick looked between the two. He muttered something about girls and nails, and handed Kory a thick blue envelope stacked with pink, purple, and blue papers. "What's this?" she asked as he plumped the heavy folder into her arms.
"Annuals." Dick and Raven said in unison. They knew so much about Wayne Enterprises, Kory sometimes wondered if she would ever catch up. Kory (although she blatantly denied this) sometimes felt very intimidated by Raven. Raven was always seemed so effortlessly and overwhelmingly confident, but in an extremely nature and modest manner. Dick almost wished she wasn't, it would make this decision a little easier.
Now that Kory and Raven's black mailer was out of their lives (at least for now), they could turn their complete attention towards pushing Dick to choose a partner. "Dick I think it's time we had a talk." Raven said.
Looks like stalling time is over.
Kory and Raven spent the next hour dealing, negotiating, and threatening Dick, until he buckled and promised he'd make a decision within the next two hours. It was too fair on his part. He did just spend the last two week keeping them in unbearable suspense, when he was suppose the have a new partner within the first two days of conducting interviews. The idea was so mentally agonizing, as he walked down the sidewalks of the late winter New York, he found himself in front of a bar and contemplated drinking himself into a stupor to buy himself more time. Maybe if he was lucky he'd contract alcohol poisoning he be sent to the hospital. No, that wouldn't work, he wake up in the hospital and the first thing Kory and Raven would just say that he had plenty of time to think about partner while he was in an alcohol induced coma. Besides, a socialite getting wasted in the middle of the afternoon would cause shock waved and sneers though Manhattan.
Deep down he knew the ethical and fair choice to be Raven. It should be simple, the line between right and wrong. Raven was his manager, she did everything and more in her power to make sure he stayed out of trouble and that his life was as easy and smooth as possible. That was just how she was, ever since they were teenagers. It was totally irrelevant but, she would drive him to his house when he was too drunk to drive. She let him crash in her bed when he was too high to let Bruce see him. He felt way too guilty about all of that and tried not to think about it, but he owed Raven a lot. Although she never mentioned it that night in October of 1999, he owed her his life.
But then there was Kory, most people thought that if Kory made partner, he was some naïve love puppy, who was letting some gold digging, corporate raider sleep her way atop the social ladder. Dick really believed in Kory. She could do the company so much good. She was a quick learner, she was became deeply involved in whatever she did, and was a people person who could use her charm and sparkling personality to draw in the investors. It was pretty theoretical but she could possibly be the revolution and future of Wayne Enterprises.
While sitting in Central Park staring mindlessly at a statue of a dog, Dick realized that his two hours was up one hour and thirty-eight minutes ago."Shit." he cursed himself, fast pacing back towards the park entrance. Alright he made up his mind, it was the first decision he made and had no intentions of changing his mind now. He wanted to get back to his office before he lost his nerve and changed his mind, plus the girls were probably mad enough at him for breaking his deadline.
He wasn't surprised at all when they were waiting for him in his office. He was surprised at how quiet they remained, after the fact that he returned almost one hour late. He half expected them to bombard him with grief, for breaking his strict deadline, but they didn't even give hims half a glance.
Complete silence.
He took in the mocking tick of the clock. He straightened his tie, looked between Kory and Raven. Damn, they had on their poker face, in business mode. Kory tried to stifle a smile. She had never been terrible good at pretending to be completely serious. Raven on the other hand was not pretending to be completely serious. Personally she did not find anything funny. Suddenly Dick's procrastination annoyed her deeply.
"Kory, Raven." he spoke in his professional tone. "I feel I owe you both an apology for the constant delay in my decision for partner. I am sure it is very frustrating to deal with my obvious indecisiveness but I have come to a decision, that I have made now. As in right, of this very minute. That I am going to tell you now. Like right now. Right now, no more stalling." he took a deep breath. His heart was beating so loud he could hear it ringing through his ear. "I have chosen, and my partner will be..." he said letting the dramatic suspense take in.
Kory and Raven looked at each other, then at Dick, then at each other again, and finally back to Dick. "Dick, this isn't American Idol, get on with it." Raven said using the last of her good nerves.
Dick sighed. "Kory."
"What!" they said at the same time. Kory's tone was happy, while Rave en's was dripping with are-you-serious.
"Really." Kory squealed happily although still trying to keep Raven's feelings in mind. They were still recovering from their initial shock.
For the split second after Kory's name was announced time seemed to stop. Kory's mouth hung open, although she knew she had a chance of being chosen, she was not expecting him to actually choose her. Raven was a different story, she did not look surprised. She never looked shocked, but she did look angry. Raven sat staring somewhere on Dick's desk, shaking her head. Her mouth was opened like she was trying to say something but her mouth couldn't find the words.
The irregular bleating of Dick's heart now combined with deep marathons of lurch in his stomach. It was worse than he had imagined. He imagined her screaming at him, throwing things, something along those lines. He would have been prepared for one of her tantrums. Now he didn't know what to expect, and that scary.
"Raven, please sat something." he said quietly, his heart racing from the constant contractions of his stomach.
Raven glared at him, and then sighed. "I was prepared for this." she said finally. She pulled a perfect neat, and stapled packet out of her bag, and handed it to Dick.
His eyebrows furrowed at the packet, as he brushed though it. "What's this?" he asked.
"My resignation form." she said standing up and forcible shaking his hand. "It's been a pleasure working for you."
Dick was beginning to feel light headed. This was too much for one day. All of a sudden he felt like he couldn't breathe. He wanted to somewhere, back to the park, a fishing town in China, the moon anywhere that wasn't here. He loosened his tie, once he was done doing this awful deed he planned to go into isolation in his private apartment. "Kory can I talk to Raven for a minute." he said exhaustion quickly draining his body.
Kory nodded and swept out of the room. Thee second the door shut he heard fast paced foot stomping in the hallway. Kory was doing a victory dance. Dick looked at Raven with the most sympathetic look he had ever given anyone. Probably because it was one hundred percent genuine. There was only one occasion were he had felt more guilty in his entire life. He was such a horrible person, or at least he felt like one. He thought once he had a partner and told someone they were going to be very disappoint ted things would get easier, but they seemed to get worse and harder.
"Dick," Raven said very defeated. "You know I don't like jokes and I don't find this particularly funny. If you are joking I promise I'll overlook it and laugh about it the best of my ability." He wished she would have just cussed him out.
"Raven, I am really sorry. Really, really, really sorry. I know that nothing I say will make a difference to you. I never thought it would end up like this. You are my absolute best friens, and I don't want to end our friendship over this, and you're a great manager, the best. Please stay, I'll look into a different job, a better one just-" He groaned loudly ripping hair on the side of his head. "I just need more time to think.
Raven really, really hated that she was feeling bad for Dick right now. She wanted to be mad at him, she deserved to be mad at him. She just worked her ass off for three years and sacrificed so much to help him out during his internship. She sat through a dinner at her father's house for chrise's sake. She felt so betrayed that he had picked his girlfriend over her. She was so furious, they kind of ultimate furious in which she can't do anything but shake with anger.
She shook her head. "So I don't get the internship?" she said the reality of it all sinking in. Dick shook his head. "Thanks for the oppurtunity."
"Raven-"
Raven spun around to face him again. "I don't believe this especially after I-" Dick knew exactly where she was going with this. He shot her a hurt look, she stopped. She told him a thousand times before that she was over it, that what happened that night . He knew she didn't mean it. Raven sighed and grappled the air near her face it was so unfair she felt bad for him. "I'll see you later." she grumbled while she walked out the door.
As soon as Raven was gone Kory reentered. Her shirt she rumbled and her knees were covered in dirt. She wasn't very good at hiding the fact that she had been eavesdropping. "How much of that did you hear?" he asked her leaning back in his chair, full knowing the answer.
Kory shrugged. "Well, everything." Dick gave a small laugh. He appreciated the honesty. Kory plumped back into one of the seats across from him, and pulled it in closer. She wasn't sure how or if she should be asking this. Deep down her intuition told her that this was related to the secret between Dick and Raven. The e-mails she found back in his room. "Dick, don't feel obligated to answer this, and if you don't want to don't answer but..." she sighed "What happened between you and Raven."
Dick didn't look at Kory. Eventually he was going to have to tell her the truth. He sighed, he was so ashamed. "Raven and I were not good for each other by any means. They had a nick name for us...the toxic twins. I taught her how to snort cocaine and she taught me how to shoot heroin. Raven doesn't even remember half of the high school stories I tell her, but that's irrelevent. She did everything, the drugs the drinking to get attention from her parents, I did because I was so frustrated with my life, I just...I don't know. After I came back from China, things were so different when I got back. Raven was done with all that shit, but Bruce had me on such a short leash. That just made me more rebellious." he gave a small laugh.
This was the hard part of the story. She took Kory's hand and held into his palm. "She tried to warn me, tried to get me off the night life circuit but I was too damn stubborn to listen to her." he sighed. "I don't remember anything about that night except what I've been told. I... I was so gone that night, someone had enough sense to call Raven at this party I was at and she tried to drive me home, completely sober. It was late and when she was driving she swerved the car very slightly and a police officer pulled her over. I have no idea what actually happened but the next day, but I found that Raven had been arrested for possession of marijuana."
Kory shook her head. "I don't understand. What's that got to do with-"
"Raven was into hard drugs coke especially. She did blow almost everyday for awhile, she got really skinny I really thought she was going to die. Anyways I knew she hated smoking it...it was mine. I know it was mine."
Kory rubbed Dick's hand with her thumb. "Why would she have your weed?"
Dick shook his head. He despised the fact that Raven would do this for him. There was nothing in it for her at the time, she did it because they were friends and she didn't want him to get in trouble. "After I ran away Bruce would have never trusted me again, she knew that couldn't happen so she took the pot from me before the cops found it on me. She went to jail. But that's not the worst part." he swallowed. "I hadn't seen her for a few days after that and I got really worried. I don't know why but I knew something was really wrong. I tried calling and e-mailing but nothing."
"Eventually I went to her house and-" he couldn't get the words out. He suppressed this memory for so long. It changed his life, and he had always resented that it was his fault.
"It's all right." Kory encouraged him softly.
Dick's face grimaced. His eyes and voice suddenly shaking with anger. "Her face and body was covered in bruises. Like she had been in a car accident. Her father..."
"He hit her?" Kory guessed. She had no idea how sinister Raven's life was. She didn't see all the emotional torture she endured. Truthfully Raven's father never hit her until this occasion. He yelled at her, but never laid a hand on her until then. Evidently he was embarrassed about her run in with the law. He was afraid it would hurt his own image. Dick glared at the distance. "No, he beat the hell out of her." he sighed his face softening. "I can not believe...it was my fault. I wish I would've just quit doing that shit like Raven told me. If I had that would have never happened."
Kory was at a lost for words. She wanted to make him feel better, she didn't think this was his fault. She knew nothing she said would make him feel better, he felt guilty and telling him it was not his fault would only makes it worse. She didn't try to lighten his mood, not that she could have anyways..
He had never realized how similar he was to Romeo Montague. They were both young, they were both in love, they had both chosen their lovers over their best friends. Although Kory saw her life ending like the childhood fairytale, Dick saw his ending like Romeo's...in disaster.
The first thing Raven did when she left Dick's office was escape to the closet empty room. It was the copy room abandoned for hours. Everyone, except for the important people, were home by now. She didn't bother turning on the light. She just started kicking the door over and over."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" she screamed ever time she kicked the door. She groaned and kicked it again. The light behind her flicked on causing her the jump. She rolled her eyes. "What do you always lurking in the shadows, just to waiting to scare me.
Garfield shrugged and stood up from the opposite wall. Raven straightened her skirt. "What was that?" Garfield asked carelessly. Work to him was a huge drag, ever since he and Raven broke up if he was away from the restaurant he was miserable. Raven put her hand on the door knob but turned back around. She sighed, she couldn't believe she was going to do this. "I'm German." she said walking half way between them. "Half German. Half German, half French. I know you haven't seen that combination since World War one." she said giving a small insignificant laugh.
"What?" Garfield asked.
She slid down the wall next to him and crossed her ankles. "You wanted to know about me so I'm telling you." Gar tried unsuccessful to hide the smile emitting from his face. "My father's father- my grandfather was born in Germany. He moved to the states before the war. He taught me how to speak German and play the piano."
He flung her hair behind her shoulder. "Where were you born." he asked.
"Munich."
Secretly he was ecstatic that she was finally opening up. They were no longer mental strangers, they where going to know everything about each other. He knew it wasn't easy for her to open up to people, she was secretive and liked to not tell anyone anything. He appreciated her allowing him to be an exception to he sacred rule. Raven brought his hand to her face. "Rae," he said "What is this?"
Raven shrugged. She wasn't sure. Where they even compatible with each other The phrase opposites attract was probably the most over used, and cliché term ever to be used. But it seemed to be proving itself to be true. I worked for Dick and Kory, but Raven and Garfield were so different. Raven was serious, head strong, stubborn, and dominating. Gar was laid back. They broke up and made up and fought, and that usually ended up in them having sex. Raven shrugged and leaned in towards him. "I guess this is us making up." she said pressing her lips against his.
He didn't fight back. He didn't want to fight with her anymore. Their tongues did fight for control over the others mouth. Raven won, and Gar didn't want it any other way. There moment of white hot passion because the phone rang. Raven had half a mind not to answer. Reluctantly Garfield pulled away first. She groaned and grabbed the phone on the table, she growled.
"Wanye Enterprises this is Raven speaking." she recited. She didn't recognize the smooth voice on the other line. He asked for Kory. She furrowed. "She's not here right now may I take a message?" she asked rolling her eyes, and winking at Gar. Suddenly her eye widened. She roughly grabbed a yellow notebook off the table. She ripped a piece of paper out of the notebook so harshly it crumpled. she was writing so quickly Gar thought she was going to get carpal tunnel syndrome. She hung up the phone and wildly spun around. "I have to get to the copy room!" she explained quickly.
Something big must be happening. She crushed her lips quickly against his again. "Come to my house around midnight and we'll have make up sex." she said before runinng down the hall to the copy room. She was gone so quickly Garfield didn't have time to register, but he did hear the words 'her house' and 'sex'. Raven ran down the hall ejecting a few strange looks, but she didn't care. She flung open the door and just the guy on the phone said sheets of paper were printing from the fax machine.
She ripped out the five sheets of documents, and quickly read it. Kory was a liar, she was a liar and Raven now held the evidence in her hands. It was too ironic. too perfect. If it weren't so devious she would have smiled. It looks like it's time Kory learned that revenge is a bitch. She was going to learn alright, and she was going to learn it the hard way.
Raven promptly requested Kory's indiviual appearance at the bar across down stairs. Kory was on the fence about how she should feel. It was good that Raven was at least talking to her, but this could just be a clever plan to slip roffies in her drink, drag her into the back alley, and chop her into a thousand pieces with an ax. She flashed the beefy bouncer her work I.D. He stepped to the side, and unclasped the red rope.
Ninety percent of the people there were from work. They had the long-week-and-too-much-work look on their face. Kory spotted out Raven at the bar. She cleared her throat moving sitting on the eel skin bar stool. Raven glanced at Kory and took a sip from her mojito. Kory cleared her throat again. "Raven.' she said.
Kory ordered a cosmo from the waiter, and waited for Raven to explain what all this was. She didn't know if she should apologize. "Raven, I can't say that I am so sorry that I made partner, because I'm not. I really did want the job. I am however sorry, that I hurt your feelings. My goal was not to upset you, I promise I will try to get you more involved and-"
Raven interupted her with a scoff and a small laugh. "Kory you are not cut out for this job at all. Working in the corporate is different from your happy, rainbows and sunshine world, it's even different from the real world. I've been in this a lot longer than you so trust me when I say you can't handle it."
This offended Kory a little bit. I mean sure she wasn't the most experienced but that did call for name calling. "And why do you think I can't cut it here."
Raven gave a small laugh again. "First of all you just apologized to me. First rule don't make apologies to anyone. Shit happens and things go wrong. Apologizing is like admitting it was your fault, and as a partner of media and franchise it's never your fault. Although you are wrong in this case. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying give you advice." she said poking a mint leaf with her thin coffee stirrer. "Like I said this is no fantasy. This isn't the part where I say congratulations, and take it all in strife, and- I don't know do something very corny like mentor you or something."
Worse case senario. Raven was mad as hell, and she wasn't going to forget about it that easily. Kory thought she was being usually immature. It was just a job, there would be other jobs, better jobs. It really mad her angry that Raven would think think so little of her. She knew she was disappointed but she didn't need to act so damn bitter. "Tell me Raven, how does it feel to be knocked off your throne?" Kory said grimly.
Raven glare at the bar tender, a sinister smile crept across her face." Tell me Kory," she said turning back to her. "how does your husband feel about you dating Dick?" Kory eyes widened and her heart sped up rapidly. There was no way she could have known that. Raven make a mock pout. "Oh no, that's right he doesn't know about him. I guess that's means Dick doesn't know your married." she shrugged coldly. "Too bad. I think he was really falling for you too."
The life they could have been together, if she told him from day one. The heart felt like it was going to burst through her chest. The bar tender placed the cosmo in front of her and she downed the whole glass in about four seconds. Maybe I should quit now, then maybe she won't tell Dick. Kory thought to herself. No, if I back down now she'll walk all over me. Maybe he'll understand. Yeah, right.
Kory knew she should have just told Dick from the very beginning. She should have never kept secrets. Eventually they always come back to haunt you. She did everything to keep it from him. She thought that if he loved her enough he'd see past it, forget about it. Sometimes saying 'I love you' just isn't enough. It makes you wonder: which is stronger love or lies. Well, Kory I looks like your about to find out.
I bet you thought he was going to pick Raven. Surprise! Kory is married? Surprise. I know, that sex scene was much delayed. I was trying to avoid it, I'm not good at writing sex scenes. There you have it Dick and Raven's big secret, hope it was interesting.
Something very bad happened to me. I started writing this chapter, and my computer malfunctioned and will not turn on. All my progress (which was three pages) gone. I still can't get on. I rewrote this entire chapter on my sister's laptop in two days. So expect an update soon, but I am consumed in reading Breaking Dawn.
