Chapter 3
___________

Raven felt like a sixteen year old school boy going out on a date with the captain of the
cheerleading squad. He checked the time on his watch. It was almost 8, time to go pick up
Jade. He walked into WWF New York, and just like they normally do, the fans started
screaming and they rushed over towards Raven. He was on cloud nine anyway, so he
signed some autographs, while he slowly made his way up to the bar. He saw a young girl
standing there staring at him with her mouth hanging open. Raven just kind of looked at
her and looked down at her name tag, it said Trainee in big red letters. He held back a
smirk and looked at her.

"Could you go get Jade for me?"

She didn't move. She just stood there staring at Raven. He was about to ask again when
he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Hey Scott!" Raven turned around to see Jade standing behind him. He looked her up and
down with an evil grin on her face. She had her hair down, he noticed that she had a lot
hidden in that bun last night, her hair was clear down to the middle of her back. She was
wearing some jeans that were tight at the top but got bigger the farther down they got.
You could barely see her black boots under her pants. He smiled at the thought that they
make her look taller. She was wearing a white T-shirt with "Bad Angel" written in red.
But the thing he liked most, was she was still wearing his jacket.

"Hey Jade, you ready?"

"Yeah lets get out of here."

They left the poor star-struck trainee standing there staring at them. They made there way
out of the restaurant and out to the street.

"So what are we going to do tonight?"

Raven shrugged, *great* Jade thought, *I guess I'll have to make him do something he
probably don't want to do.* "What about a movie?" Raven smiled at the thought of them
alone in a dark movie theater.

"Sounds good, What do you want to see?"

"How about......Thirteen Ghosts?"

"Wow, didn't think you'd like all that horror stuff"

"Why because I'm a chik? Wow, aren't you the macho man."

Raven did something Jade had never heard him do before. He laughed. And she liked it.
He really was quite different from the Raven she always saw portrayed on TV.

"Jade, let me ask you something."

Jade didn't really like the way that sounds, but she thought she'd better answer. "OK."

"Do you want buttered popcorn or non-buttered?" It was Jade's turn to laugh. She hooked
his arm with her's and looked up at him and smiled.

After the movie was over, Jade walked out of hugging herself tightly. Raven on the other
hand, was laughing.

"It wasn't that scary Jade."

She turned around and popped him in the chest. "It was too! I still got chills, look!"

She pulled the jacket sleeve up to reveal that she really did have chills on her arm.

"Ahh, your just cold, thats all." He pulled her up to him and hugged her. He loved that
smell, she had some kind of perfume on, he noticed it earlier, but now he was so close it
was almost engulfing him. She snuggled closer to him. She felt so warm in his arms.

"Scott?"

"Hmm?"

"What do you want to do now?" Jade looked up at Raven, he kept her pulled close to him
as he looked down at her.

"Did you eat at work?"

"Are you kidding? You never eat where you work! It's like a golden rule or something."

"All right, then lets go get some grub." Raven wrapped his arms around Jade and they
both got in a cab.

Raven was standing with Jade outside her apartment, she was leaned back against the
door. Raven stood close to her and smiled down at her.

"Ya know what Scott, I never thought in a million years that you would actually take me
to Burger King."

Raven laughed, "You said you wanted a burger, where else could we have gone?"

"Yeah, I guess your right."

The stood there in a kind of awkward silence.

"Can I see you tomorrow?" That was Raven, at least he knew how to break the silence.

"Yeah, I'm off tomorrow, so you can get me here if you want."

"OK, I'll be here noonish."

He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. Jade smiled and walked into her
apartment.

Raven stared at the close door with a smile. He licked his lips and walked away. On the
other side of the door Jade was sitting on her couch with her hand on her cheek.

"Tomorrow.....this is so cool!"
