Chapter 37 Yes times a million

All the way back to John's, Raven grew nervous. He had told her that he wanted to know what was on her mind and he was going to find out tonight, one way or another. Raven didn't want to ask but she knew she had too, even her attempts of seducing him didn't get her out of it, he took the sex but still remained adament that she would tell him. Now the time had come and she had to make her idea vocal. John took a seat at the kitchen table, Raven opposite him praying to all higher powers, that John didn't want to know. She had talked to Iziah and Jamie about the idea and shockingly they agreed, it was the next logical step but Raven still had an issue about asking John, what if he said no. What if he suddenly had other ideas about where this was going, she hated that conversation but it had to be done. In her nervousness she took out her smokes and started to roll them, one by one.

"It must be big if your rolling cigarettes" John comented, he hated that there was something she wasn't telling him, it meant that she wasn't comfortable telling him things, and he hated that.

Raven took a breath and finally looked up at him, her fingers still twisting the slim papers, "I wanna ask you somethin but I don't know how. I keep thinkin that your gonna say no and this is gonna end with a fight, I really don't wanna open that can of worms. Great, now all I can think of is worms, thats weird"

John took her hand and looked deeper into those eyes than he had ever before. He found forever when he looked into those eyes, that wasn't something he thought he would ever find, but there it was in her clear silver orbs.

"Raven just tell me, I have other things I would like to do tonight, like going to bed and sliding that dress off and taking a perfect pink nipple into my mouth, rolling it between my lips, biting gently" His eyes casted away in a dreamy state. Raven just looked at him,

"Should I leave you two alone or are you done?"

John shook himself and returned back to his girlfriend "Sorry, what was I saying?"

"You were saying you wanted to go to bed and take my dress off with your teeth"

John let that smile drift over his face "Oh yeah, but before that you wanted to share an idea with me"

Raven sighed knowing that there was no escape "Alright. I was wonderin if you wanted too, if you would consider maybe moving back into my house with me. Of course you don't have too if you don't want too, what am I thinkin? Course you don't want too, living with Izzy and me, it was bad enough the first time, forget it, I didn't say it"

John got up and took her nerve shaking hands in his, her words still rambling. John kissed her lips tenderly, it was the less painful way to make her stop talking.

"Sorry, you were sayin?" Raven asked now in a dream state of her own, kisses like that always made her forget the original point.

"Yes"

"Yes?"

"Yes a million times" John smiled at her, badly he wanted to be back with her, this wasn't home, it was a house, the haunted hill was home, it always would be. With Raven was home. He took her hand and pulled her up from the chair, taking her into his arms. "Firstly however there is something we gotta do"

"And that is?"

John hoisted her into his arms like a blushing bride, her giggles making his heart even lighter. "Gettin you outta that damn dress"

"Sounds good"
