Chapter 39 Moving day
"Are you sure you don't mind?" Raven asked Iziah again as John and Randy moved around boxes, the girls wanted to help but both men said no, this was something they could and wanted to do themselves, Iziah was more than happy to watch Randy stretch those lean muscles, it was like christmas but without the annoyance of decorating a tree.
"Course I don't, this is the logical step for you guys" Iziah's eyes lit up as Randy bent down again, "And this is far more fun to watch than anything"
"This is ceratinly more mesmerizing" Raven agreed as the guys moved, the two guys talked to each other as they moved things around, John was beaming with over excitement, sharing the house with Iziah and Jamie, sharing a bedroom and bed with Raven, everything was coming together again, just like it should of been the first time.
"Kane is a jerk" Jamie snapped coming down the stairs and making everyone stop what they were doing. Jamie blushed slightly when she saw all those eyes on her. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt all the moving"
"Why is Kane a jerk?" Raven asked as the guys sat down and took a break.
"He thinks I'm acting"
They all looked at her, waiting for her to get to the bad part.
"He thinks that my injury isn't real, he said that I'm smarter than he realised and he wanted to know if I really do have an injury"
"So he thinks you're so smart that there is actually nothing wrong with you? Isn't that a good thing?" Iziah asked earning the first ever Jamie death glare, Iziah was pretty sure she could feel the fire licking her skin.
"Cut through the treacle Izzy"
"I'm trying but theres so much of it"
"He basically said that Jamie was lying, lying about her condition for some odd reason I'm picking he thinks so she could get close to him"
Jamie looked to Raven with such appreciation it was like she was about to burst, "Thank you! See, why do you get it?"
"I don't think he meant to call you a liar Jamie" Randy cut in softly, now he felt out of place when everyone looked at him.
"Explain."
"I have this friend, Bobby, he met this really nice girl who asked for his number when Bobby said no, she turned around and said she was dying from cancer, so Bobby felt bad and gave her the number, they became an item and Bobby really fell for her, and one day he found out that she was lying, poor Bobby was so hurt, Kane was also a good friend to Bobby so I'm picking that he likes you so much that he just hopes that you don't do what that girl did"
Jamie shook her head, blonde strands flying all over the place. "Ow, my skull hurts"
"Cut through the treacle Jamie"
Jamie sat down and shut her eyes, murmering and muttering parts of the story she could remember, when her eyes came open, everything was a lot clearer, "So you're saying that Kane likes me alot, and he wants me to not lie because he really likes me?"
"Yeah pretty much"
Jamie's eyes lit up, "He just doesn't want me to be fake, he wants me to be real because he likes me the way I am. Oh this is the greatest news ever!" Jamie jumped up and down with pure joy, settling down she lent over the couch to talk to her sister, "Hey Raven, if you called your boyfriend a freak that is nothin but a asshole, how would you come back from that?"
"Jamie why did you call Kane names?"
"Because he called me a liar!" Jamie protested, "How come he can call me names but when I do it to him I get in trouble?"
"I don't know to come back from that, the only thing I can suggest is saying your sorry over and over and promise never to do it again"
"Ok, I'll try that. Hold on Kane! I'm-a comin!" Jamie raced back up the stairs as they let out laughter,
"And you have to live here" Randy teased nudging John with his foot.
"Hey!" Izzy protested pinching Randy's arm "Ain't nothin wrong with livin here Randal, better that living at the damn trailor park"
"Who lives at the trailor park?"
"Hippies, bums, no good whores, gypsies, its a wide variety"
"I'm gonna finish moving the boxes" John got up making Randy follow promptly, anything to get out of the weird conversation.
The girls went back to watching and obvious perving. "You're lookin at Randy right?"
Iziah couldn't help but roll her eyes, she knew Raven was paranoid, that was ok it was apart of her condition so Izzy could over-look it. "Yeah I'm looking at Rand, Randy's the one with the pink hat right?"
Raven just looked at her as she went on, "And after I'm finished here, I'm-a go down to the trailor park and me and that whore are gonna do each others nails, and scam on more guys that aren't Randy or ours, dude stop being so paranoid"
"Sorry, I can't help it" Raven admitted, "I'm just wating for him to turn around and say oops wrong twin"
Iziah patted her arm soothingly, Raven couldn't help it, this was a part of who she was now. It was just another flaw that was easily over-looked because it couldn't out weigh all the good Raven had in her soul. "You're forgetting a few things Rae. Number one; John loves you. Number two; he don't wanna be murdered by me so he will not do anything to break your heart. Number three; any woman that comes up against you, always loses, because you never do."
Raven smiled, "Yeah I guess thats true"
"Just keep remembering number one, John loves you. I may not know much due to my awesome acting but I know this, that man loves you."
"I know" Raven grinned, the happy tingles coming back over her body, Iziah didn't get much right these days but Raven knew she was right about John.
After dinner and everything was packed away, John laid with Raven on their bed watching tv. A thought coming to her head, she hoped that opening this can of worms wasn't bad but she couldn't help it.
"You know how Randy was talking about 'Bobby'?"
"Yeah" John narrowed his eyes, he was hoping not to have this conversation but apparently he didn't get a choice. "What about it?"
"Is Bobby real, or did that happen to Randy?"
John let a sigh, "It happened to me, I was Bobby and that skank fooled me royally. Stupid bitch"
Raven took the evil away, kissing his cheek "Well she was an idiot, I'm sorry she hurt you. I could murder her?" Raven suggested helpfully.
"I don't think that'll help but thanks for the sentiment."
Raven lay back down on his chest, his heart beat soothing her. "I would never lie to you, or hurt you. I almost lost you once and that was bad enough, I'd actually like to keep you this time, if thats possible"
John kissed her head, his body and mind at more peace than it had ever been "Of course its possible, I'm surprised a girl like you would choose me, most people think Randy would be better suited"
"Well then they are retarded, anyone with eyes and a brain can see that me and you are better suited than anything. Black and white, salt and pepper, chips and chocolate, ebony and ivory."
"Chips and chocolate?" John asked a hint of a smile on his handsome face.
"You've never dipped chips into melted chocolate?"
"No, can't say I have"
Raven moved until she was on top of him, her body grinding lightly over his, "I have so much to teach you John-boy"
