Chapter 7: Oops
A
week later Raven was feeling a lot better, her and Rex scheduled
another date. Bo sat on the couch his feet propped up on the coffee
table reading a newspaper. Raven was in her room trying on a thousand
different outfits for the hundredth time Raven walked out this time
she was wearing a blue jean skirt and black top. She did a twirl in
front of the TV. "What do you think? Dad!" Bo pulled the
corner of his newspaper down and looked over it, "You look
cute." She ran into her room, "So, not the look I was going
for." Bo laughed, "Girls can't live with them, can't get
them out of the house without a fashion emergency." Rex knocked
on the door and Bo looked over at Raven's door it didn't open so he
got up and answered. "Come on in Balsom." Rex, "Hi
commish." Bo sat down on the couch, "Raven your date's
here!" "Be right out!" Bo laughed, "That means
we'll see her in another hour." Rex took a seat on the couch
next to Bo. "Ooh TV." He went to pick up the remote and Bo
took it before he could, "Oh, come on what am I suppose to do
while I wait." "You can answer a few questions." Rex
looked over at Raven's door hoping she'd come walking out that
second, but she didn't "I plead the fifth commish." "Not
this time you don't. Where are you taking her?" "To dinner
and a movie." "Where at?" "The Palace and
Movie-town Cinema." "What time are you bringing her home?"
"Midnight?" Bo laughed, "11:30." "Right
11:30. " "And in here. Not in the parking lot. Not outside
the door. Inside the apartment." "Okay warden." He
popped up when Raven's bedroom door opened. Raven was wearing a light
pink spaghetti strap top and a dark pink short skirt. She smiled at
Rex. "You look great." Bo walked over to Raven and gave her
a hug and whispered, "You look great." She hugged him back
and said also whispering, "Thanks Dad, but this time I was going
for cute." Bo chuckled and Raven took Rex's hands as they walked
out of the apartment. "Have fun." Bo waved as they left. At
the palace Raven smiled at a couple of guys that were checking her
out and Rex glared at them. He pulled out her chair and she took a
seat and then he took a seat. The waiter walked over and handed the
two menus, "I'll be back to take your order in a moment."
Rex opened up the menu as did Raven they both chose what they wanted
and ordered. "So, I'm glad you're feeling better." "Thank
you. I am too. Lying on a couch and wearing your pajamas all day is
not very glamorous." "Aw, but you looked so cute and those
fuzzy slippers what a turn on." Raven giggled, "Well, I
thought they were very cute." "You looked very cute wearing
them. Maybe you should have wore braids in your hair to go with."
"Stop picking on me." She laughed. He smiled, "You're
really beautiful when you laugh." She smiled back and they sat
silently eating. When they finished eating Rex paid the bill and he
took Raven's hand as they walked out of the palace. They headed to
the movie theater. "What are we going to watch?" "I
thought I'd let you help pick it out, but go easy on me. I'm not big
on chick flicks." She laughed, "Well I was so gonna go for
a sob story, but I guess I could torture you with a kids film."
"Oh, no I can't stand talking pigs and singing flowers." He
ran around acting scared. She laughed at how goofy he was, "Okay
I guess I'll save you from the singing flowers. We can watch whatever
you want to watch, but next time prepare for wall to wall sobbing."
Rex bowed, "I am not worthy. Thank you for going easy on me your
majesty." She hit him playfully, "Behave and get me my
ticket peasant." She said waving him away with her hand and
pretending to wrap a scarf around her neck she walked with her head
high in the air and her nose even higher. Rex laughed and bowed
again, "Yes your majesty." The two after successfully
freaking everybody outside the theater out went inside and watched
their movie. When the movie ended Raven and Rex came walking out of
the theater. "Did you didn't find that in anyway scary?"
Raven shook her head, "No, not really." "That's
disappointing." Raven laughed, "Why because I didn't
snuggle close to you in your strong protective arms?" She
laughed and feigned being scared. "Oh, Rex save me." She
pretended to faint and fell back into her arms. He caught her and
smiled looking down at her she stood up straight in front of him. He
brushed hair off of her face and gave her a kiss and to his delight
she didn't pull away from him. Twenty minutes later they arrived at
Bo's. Rex checked his watch. "It's 11:29. We have one minute. I
had a really great time tonight." "I did too. It was really
fun I needed it." Rex smiled and gave her another kiss. Bo
opened the door and cleared his throat, Raven and Rex broke their
kiss. "It's 11:31 Balsom." Rex showed him his own watch,
"It's 11:30 exactly." "We're going by my watch here."
Rex smiled, "Oops. Won't happen again. Bye Raven night Commish."
Bo shut the door then turned to Raven, "How was your date?"
"It was great." "And Rex?" Raven smiled, "He
was a perfect gentleman." She gave Bo a kiss on the cheek. "Good
night Dad." "Good night sweetie." She headed to bed
and so did Bo.
