A little while later. Devon and Raven arrived back at her house:
"Rae, are you ok?" Devon asked in concern. "Yea, I'm fine" Raven assured him as she placed a kiss on his lips and proceeded to get out of the car. Him feeling an incomplete greeting, got out of the car and raced behind her. He reached for her and she turned around. "So, I'll see you tomorrow, right?" Devon asked curiously. "Yes, I'll see and talk to you tomorrow" she said. "Well, I really wanted you to call me before you went to sleep" looking at her with a side smile. "Ok, I will" she smiled back. Raven continued to her door.
She walked in to see only the lights of the living room television glowing. Eddie and Chelsea at each end of the sofa, asleep. "Aww, how cute" Raven thought as she quietly giggled at the sight of them looking so peaceful and worn out. Eddie being a light sleeper, awoke to see Raven creeping past them. He followed her into the kitchen, she made an abrupt U-Turn forgetting to check upon Cory, her and Eddie both pausing before almost crashing into each other.
"Hey, Eddie, I thought you were sleeping" she said surprised to see him so suddenly. "I was, but I heard you come in" said Eddie, almost happy to gaze at Raven's face again. Almost like it was the first time he had seen her, he realized she had this inner glow. She wouldn't have noticed, even if he took a picture of it. "Oh, sorry" Raven said, Eddie assured her it was fine, "It's ok, I was kind of hoping I'd be up when you got back". Raven not attempting to think about what Eddie meant.
"So did Cory give you guys any trouble?" she asked. "No, he was actually quite well-behaved." "William came over, so he was occupied" Eddie said. "Ya I've noticed a little change in him, I'm glad everything was ok though." "I just knew I'd come back to a bad report" Raven chuckled.
"Um, so, how did your "talk" with Devon go?" Eddie asked sarcastically. Raven paused in silence...
He tilted his head, knowing there was a story behind her silence. She finally decided to speak, "Ok, I thought I'd be telling Chelsea this first--" Chelsea walked in "Hey Rae" she said in a sleepy tone, "Telling me what?" asked Chelsea rubbing her eyes. Raven found herself deemed to demystify her two best friends, but overwhelmed at having to tell them both at once. "Ok" she began, "There really wasn't much talking" she said a little nervous. "I don't even think the intention to talk, was really at an abundance".
"Rae...what happened?" asked Chelsea in a concerned sort of excited tone. "Devon and I...we..." Raven stuttered "We...". Chelsea gasped, catching on to Raven's hesitation and gesturing, "You guys had sex!" asked Chelsea in a loud whisper. Raven answered in a red-faced tone "Yea, we did".
Eddie turned green on the inside, knowing already it was possible. But shocked at the thought of his life-long female friend no longer a virgin. "Rae, I just have one question about this". Raven turned her attention from an almost excited Chelsea, "What is it?" she asked. Her heart kinda fluttering, wondering why Eddie was suddenly so serious, and seemingly disappointed.
"Did you guys use any protection?" Eddie asked. Raven's soft expression slowly soured. Raven's fermented expression silenced the kitchen...
