Sorry I haven't been updating. I've been collecting my thoughts about the future of this story. But first of all, I'd like to inform you that this story will be more than ten chapters long. I know all my finished stories are ten chaps long, so I just wanted to make sure all of you people knew that for future references.

Chapter Five: The Perfectionist

Raven walked into the coffee lounge with Mr. Wilson. Everybody looked up at her. It wasn't because he was with one of the meanest professors on campus - that was common knowledge. She met with him every Sunday afternoon. Since Raven was popular, along with Robin, word had spread all around the college area about their little get together.

Then somebody started applauding her. She looked into the corner. Kori's older sister, Carmen was clapping for her. She graduated the year before, but apparently she heard about her and Robin, too.

"Congratulations Raven. I've been trying to make my little sister's life miserable the day she was born. But even I, like the mastermind I am, couldn't pull something, like that off." She said. Raven gritted her teeth.

"You don't even belong here, Carmen. Get lost." Kitten said as she took a sip of her French vanilla ice coffee. Then everybody began telling Carmen to leave, and go away, and get lost. She nodded and opened the door. But she smiled slyly and winked at Raven before she closed the door behind her. Raven simply rolled her eyes and walked over to the counter. Roy walked over to her.

"Sorry, I don't take orders from traitors." He said squinted his eyes at her. Raven gasped and then once again angrily gritted her teeth. Then Mr. Wilson walked up behind her.

"As long as I'm in charge of this coffee house and work at this college, you take orders from any college student here." He demanded. Mr. Wilson, who he only let Raven called him by his first name, Slade, was feared by all. He was probably the most evil and vile professor at the college.

But he was smart and meant well. Nobody thought he could ever be good and nice, but Raven always expected there was some good in him. That's why he was her favorite teacher, and she was his favorite student.

"Fine." Roy muttered. "May I please take your order?" He asked her.

"I'll have a blueberry smoothie." She replied. He nodded and turned around on his heel and shoved three cups of blueberries in the blender. He blended them well and poured them in a plastic cup. He put a lid in it then a curly straw in the middle of the lid. He handed it to her.

"$2.50." He said in a monotone voice. She handed him three dollars. He smashed the two dollars into the cash register and then put the fifty cents into his pocket. But Mr. Wilson was still standing there.

"Roy Harper, you're fired for stealing money and bad service!" He yelled. Roy gasped. He slouched his shoulders in misery then took off his white apron and handed it to Mr. Wilson. He took the fifty cents out of his pocket and put in on the counter. Then he took a pair of keys to the cash register and door and handed them to Mr. Wilson.

Roy stormed out of the coffee lounge. Everybody was wide eyed and kind of surprised. They all hated Roy's bad service and always wanted him to be fired, but now that it had happened, it felt pretty awkward.

"Anybody want a job here?" Mr. Wilson asked. Garfield ran over and grabbed the apron from him and tied it around his waist with a happy grin on his face. Everyone knew he wanted the job just because he could pinball and packman free.

Kori clicked the print button and watched her paper slowly slide out of the bottom of the printer. Then a bouquet of fresh red, pink, white, and yellow roses fell onto her lap. She swirled around in her seat. Then minute she turned her lips were on Roy's.

"Hey." Kori said sweetly. Roy pulled up another computer chair and sat down.

"Hi yourself." He replied gently grabbing her hand pulling it towards him. Since she was on a seat with wheels she slowly glided over to him and got wrapped up in his arms. She smiled and blushed. Then she realized that he shouldn't be with her.

"Isn't this your work shift?" Kori asked him pulling away from his chest but still holding his hand. He frowned and shook his head. Kori frowned and arched her eyebrow.

"Raven got me fired." Roy said making it sound like it was all Raven's fault. Roy liked to stretch the truth sometimes. Especially when it meant getting closer to Kori, and getting her farther away than Robin and Raven.

"Wow. That doesn't sound like the Rae I know." She replied in a soft voice. Roy put his hand under her chin and drew her face and lips closer to his face and lips. She closed her eyes and turned a light pink.

"Let's not talk about Raven right now. I like that smell you have on. What did ya do?" He asked her trying to change the subject as he let his nostrils be filled with the smell of sweet lavender.

"I-I took a bath- with some soap." She stuttered shyly. Roy leaned closer to her lips but then drew back. His face was lit up. He stood up, handed her paper, then took her hand and helped her stand.

"How about you go put these flowers in a vase," He said pointing to the roses, "go back to your dorm, take a nice long bath with some of that nice soap of yours, and then allow me to take you out for some dinner. Seven o'clock." He flirted.

Kori blushed and quickly snatched the roses off the desk. She nodded, kissed him on the cheek, and then trotted off to her dorm and left him there in the library alone.

Kori grabbed the empty vase in the bathroom in her dorm and filled it with ice cold water. Then she gently placed the flowers in and arranged them in a nice position. She placed them on her bedside table. The window was open and it was still raining out. The white doily curtain draped around the frame of the window making the vase stand out more.

Kori gasped with a smile and snap of her fingers.

"I could make another painting for the art show in the spring! Roy, you're my inspiration!" She said hugging herself and collapsing on her bed. She closed her eyes and began daydreaming about Roy. Then she got another idea. She shot up.

"My portrait! For my last portrait, I can paint Roy!" She squealed. Then she flipped her Ciara Cd and began dancing and singing along to her music.

Time had flown by. She jumped back on her bed and looked at her cell phone. A picture of Roy came up with she flipped it open. In the corner it showed the time: 6: 27. Kori gasped. She shut her phone, raced into the bathroom, and turned the faucet on hot. She poured in the rest of her lavender bubble bath. Then she dropped her matching scented lavender soap in.

Lately Kori had been obsessing over Roy. It was only a day ago when he rescued her from herself- and Robin. She felt like Roy was her total hero. At night she'd be text messaging him, in the morning she be eating breakfast with him, at lunch she'd go back to the lounge for his break, and then they'd go out for a romantic candle light dinner.

Kori pretended to act upset when Roy said he got fired, but on the inside, she was jumping for joy and dancing around. She just thought this meant more time to spend with Roy- and it did.

She couldn't wait for Roy to pick her up.

Okay, again, sorry for not updating. But, I had to return my laptop for one reason or another. But I did buy a new fast and gorgeous computer. I am running the Sims2 University on it. They go to college. I thought that was great because now I can study college life 24-7!

That and I've been cooking up ideas for upcoming chapters, stories, one shots, and a bunch of other RS fluff. Or in this case RK (Robin, Kori) fluff.

I just wanted you all to know, it is so hard for me to write this lovey dovey stuff about Roy and Kori. You can totally hate me until I make Garfield realize that Roy set this whole thing up to make-

Oops! Just gave some info away! –Shrugs sheepishly-
