Chapter 14 It will do for now

When Seth came back to the hospital Raven was asleep, she looked so peaceful he didn't want to wake her, the door creaking open jolted her awake and Seth found his body being pinned against the wall by nothing more than her brain, not only had she got her power back, it was stronger than ever. Red cheeked, she let him go hoping that this wasn't the final nail in the coffin.

"Perhaps I should announce myself next time" Seth said brightly taking a seat in the ugly orange chair. A basket at his feet. "How are you feeling sunshine?"

"Better than I have in a while, I think being stabbed agrees with me"

"It certainly don't agree with me"

Raven couldn't help but smile, sitting up so she could take in his handsome face. He had given himself a light shave, a hint of beard on his face. His eyes didn't look so red now, obviously since finding out that she would be ok, he managed to sleep.

"You were worried about me?"

"Of course, it's not every day I find a woman bleeding out on the floor, especially not a woman that I like so much, have to say I got a little paranoid"

"That I wouldn't wake up?"

"That you did it on purpose, so you wouldn't have to go out with me"

It was a sentence that should've pissed her off but really it just made her laugh, it was nice to know that even Seth Freakin Rollins had bouts of self doubt, it proved that he was normal. Something she wanted more than anything because she knew that she would never be normal again, no matter how many times she was stabbed.

"If I didn't want to go out with you, I would've said no, or jumped in front of a bus"

"Note to self; keep you away from buses" Seth laughed before turning serious, "So how are you really? No doubt it's not much fun being in the hospital"

"I've been here so many times I've gotten used to it. I'm just annoyed that we can't go out, it would've been nice to look forward to somethin for a change"

Seth picked up the basket at his feet, setting it on her tray table, "Since you can't go out, I bought dinner to you"

Raven watched as he pulled out little containers filled with chicken, salad and couple pieces of pie, and of course a thermos filled with coffee.

"You bought me dinner?"

Seth pulled out paper plates, plastic cutlery and napkins, "Thought you would like it more than hospital food, although I'm not sure if my cooking is an upgrade"

"I will tell you what I think in a moment" Raven piled chicken and salad on her plate, the little plastic fork felt ridiculous in her hands but the only other option was picking at it with her hands, even she knew that wasn't good date ettiquitte.

"Chicken is a little dry but I think thats just me being bitchy"

"I should've bought gravy. So here's a question, why give me another chance, according to my sources you don't give second chances"

"I thought that was obvious, or would it help if I spelt it out for you"

"Yes that would be helpful"

"B-e-c-a-u-s-e I- l-i-k-e y-o-u"

Seth just looked at her "Really? You had to literally spell it out?"

"You said that would be helpful. But yeah, I like you. Which is weird cause I don't usually like anybody"

"I feel really special right now"

Raven shoved her food away, she wanted to eat more but her belly was all ready full and she knew better than to push it.

"I would feel special too if you kissed me" Raven pouted slightly, another thing that wasn't the best idea but looking at those plump lips made the craving for them go up, besides it was just a little kissing, surely that couldn't go wrong?

Seth pushed the tray table out of the way, he should've known better given she was injured but he was over taken by how good her lips felt against his, and he was wondering how many objects she would make float. Seth shuffled her over slightly so he could lay his body next to her's. Softly he lowered his lips to her's, pressing just enough to feel the satin like skin. A soft hand touched his face, their kiss getting deeper as his tongue swiped across the closed seam, begging for entry. A moan escaped her throat, she wasn't sure if it was pain or pleasure but it came in waves, mixing her brain up. Seth pulled away and looked at her guiltily, he should've known better and now he had hurt her. Raven however hadn't learnt her lesson,

"More kisses" She pouted again making Seth laugh. Giving in because he didn't want to move he bent his head and kissed her again, her tongue instantly pouring into his mouth. Another moan escaped her and she knew for certain that it was pleasure, that was until the door opened.

"Raven!"

They jumped apart as her Father stared down at them evily, clearly he wasn't impressed that his daughter had a man in her hospital bed, even less impressed that it was Seth Rollins. Raven didn't want Seth to leave but he got up anyways, kissing her on the cheek and assuring her he would be back tomorrow. He gave Shawn a sheepish look before leaving them alone.
