Chapter 29 Slippery words

Iziah pushed the door open wearily, she loved her night but even she needed a break from her work, sometimes the blood just wouldn't come off. Luckily for her and her growling stomach, Raven and John were sitting at the table for dinner, her's already in the oven ready for her to eat.

"Hey Izzy" They both greeted her as she let out a grunt, going to the oven.

"Bad day Izzy?" John asked picking up his beer and taking a short gulp.

"It was heaven!" Iziah sung out taking her plate to the table, "But sometimes you need a break, know what I mean?"

"Yeah I kinda do"

"Would you two stop talkin about work? Your makin me jealous" Raven growled out stabbing her potatoes with her fork. "Stuck here for six months with nothin to do, I'm gonna get so bored"

"Well as long as you don't go climbin on the roof again tryin to get rid of UFO's"

John glanced at Raven, he hoped his face resembled mild interest instead of what it really was, intense interest that burnt so bad it hurt. Taking another drink of beer, Iziah went on with her story, "Seriously Raven, you woke everyone up especially when you tumbled down and broke your arm" Iziah shuddered, "Oh good Satan, I can still remember what you were like on the morphine"

"I wasn't that bad"

"Ah yeah you were"

"If you two are gonna fight, could you not. Some of us are actually enjoying the dinner"

Raven and Izzy laughed, maybe they should give him one night where it didn't end with them trying to destroy each other. Raven went back to toying with her food while her sister explained to John the correct way to remove an eyeball. Raven wasn't sure if John was actually interested or if he was just humouring her, John seemed interested but then again he was paid to act day in and day out. Under the cover of the table, Raven pulled out her cellphone and sent a quick text. While he talked to Izzy he pulled out his phone and cast a quick eye over it, easily he kept that smirk to himself. Wanna see something better than a munted eye ball?

Sure

Drop your fork

"Your eyes are on fire" Izzy comented at John "Good text I take it"

"Yeah" John went to grab his beer again but accidentally knocked his fork off the table, it actually was an accident. John bent down to pick it up from under the table, his blue eyes lighting up even more. Just an inch Raven's legs were parted and all he saw was beautiful flesh, free and needing to be touched. When John straightend up Iziah was looking at him intently.

"So whats her name?"

"Who?"

"The chick that sent you a very good text message"

"It doesn't matter"

"Are you ashamed of her?"

"No"

"Then why can't you say her name?"

"Because its my business, thats why"

"So your ashamed of her?"

"I'm not ashamed of my girlfriend" John regretted those words as soon as they left his mouth, Iziah's eyes lighting up even more like a dog with a bone.

"You have a girlfriend? Thats great"

"Izzy stop it"

"Why?"

"Because I said so"

"Am I making you uncomfy Raven?" John asked looking at her, trying to tell her that he won't say a word, no matter how badly Iziah pestered him.

"No" Raven shifted slightly in her seat, "Izzy just leave it"

"Why? I'm not hurting anyone." She turned back to John "So whats her name?"

"Izzy please just stop it" Raven pleaded with her sister,

"Why?"

"Remember that thing we were discussin on the first night?"

Izzy's face twisted in confusion for a moment, "Oh right, sorry"

"What?" John asked looking at both girls, missing out on this seemingly important peice of information.

"Raven doesn't want you to know that she'd probably be jealous of your new girlfriend because she likes you" Izzy spit out before putting her hand over her mouth, "OMG, I am so sorry"

"I have to go now" John quickly left, left so he wouldn't laugh out loud at her sister hitting it almost on the head without even knowing.

"Thanks alot Izzy, really"

"I'm sorry it just came out, besides he has a girlfriend so it doesn't matter right?"

Raven sighed "No, but thanks alot, now its gonna be all weird and stuff"

Iziah pounded her fist on the table, "Damnit, I think I might spend the night at work"

"Lucky bitch" Raven muttered as her phone vibrated. She wasn't gonna answer it but decided it might be good news about returning to work.

Don't be jealous of my gf Rae, you could totally take her. If it helps I'm jealous of your bf, handsome devil he is.

Raven couldn't help but laugh out loud as she deleted the text message from her sisters prying eyes.

"Whats so funny?"

"Nothin really, just life in general"

Iziah shot her a weird look before taking her plate to the bench for washing. "Right, well I'll leave you with that."

"Thank you"
