"Rae….wake up…we're finally here."
Raven stirred in the backseat, and slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Eddie's sunroof and noticed big palm tree's towering over her. She had never seen them before in real life, but every time she opened a Vogue she always noticed the models leaning on them.
Ever since last summer, Raven had noticed she had picked up a few pounds. However, she didn't care if she didn't look like all the skinny pretty girls at school; it never bothered her. She still wore all her outfits and made sure she made herself look good everyday no matter what.
However, when Raven's Aunt Lois asked her to visit for the summer, she knew that she would be on the beach, and there would be a lot of boys around.
I'm going to work my ass off and lose this weight. That way I can wear my bathing suit and make all the boys drool.
With all her determination, Raven succeeded her goal and lost all the weight she gained and then some. She had never felt or looked better. Chelsea had even noticed Raven's toned stomach when they were trying on their bathing suits.
"Wow Rae!" she exclaimed. "You look amazing. I can't believe how much weight you lost. I wish I could look that good."
"Please Chels" Raven would always say, "I have always wanted to be your size and now that I am, we can finally shop in the same sections of the stores. Now I know that I can look good in my bathing suit this year, and not have to worry about the excess love I was carrying."
Now that they were finally at her aunt's house, Raven knew that the summer could finally start. She wanted to get settled in and then hit the stores with Chelsea so they could find some hot new outfits. Raven and Chelsea knew that Eddie was going to hit the beach in hopes of finding some "hot new hunny" as he called them.
"RAVEN MY BABY!" was all she needed to hear to snap her out of her daydream. It was her Aunt Lois standing in her doorway. Aunt Lois was the coolest aunt of her family. She was fairly young compared to Raven's mom; a little over 30. And the great thing about her aunt was that she owned her own clothing design label and was living the life of riches.
"Aunt Lo!" Raven yelled as she jumped out of the car and made her way over to the front steps. "I'm so glad to see you. You look awesome."
"Oh you know, just something I pieced together a while back. Do you like? I wanted to make your Uncle Jay feel sorry for leaving for the Caribbean for work this summer. So it looks like it's just you and me and your friends in this big empty house."
Raven noticed Chelsea and Eddie standing behind her not speaking. She had totally forgotten to introduce them to her when they arrived. "Aunt Lo, these are my two best friends…Eddie and Chelsea." Raven pushed her two friends in front of her so her aunt could get a good look at them.
"Well hey you guys! I'm Raven's aunt Lois, but you can call me Lo. I want you guys to feel free and comfortable in my house this summer. I'm not a picky and strict aunt, so feel free to be young and the teenagers that you are. My only rules are that you don't drink in my house and no boys in your rooms, or girls for you Eddie."
"No problem Lo" Eddie said, "with my luck I wont even get that far with a girl." Raven laughed as she realized what Eddie had said. Why is he so hard on himself? She wondered. He knows he is a good looking guy, he just picks the flaky superficial girls…I guess I am going to have to find someone for Chels and Eddie too.
"So…ummm…Lo" Chelsea started. "Where should we unpack all of our things?" she said as she pulled her bags out of Eddie's trunk.
"Oh I'm sorry I forgot to tell you all the arrangements. Ok Eddie you are the fifth floor, towards the back on the right. Raven, you and Chelsea are going to be sharing the room on the left."
"How many floors does this place have!" Eddie asked in amazement.
"We have 6 total not including the attic and basement. I swear you would think you are in Malibu or something. My husband Jay is a lawyer and seeing as I own a designer label, he thought we should look the part and buy a huge house. I don't really care for it because it doesn't make sense for two people to live here, but you get used to it." Raven noticed that her aunt started to get a sad look on her face as she finished her story. She never saw her like this before. Anytime she brought up her uncle Jay, Lois's face seemed to change to a look of sadness and bitterness.
"Well I guess we will unpack everything and then we will meet back up with you downstairs Lo." Raven said as she made her way to Eddie's trunk.
"Do you guys need any help? I know how Raven is like me and packs her whole room up."
"No we're fine Lo," Raven stopped her as she walked by. "Eddie is a strong guy, he can carry a lot. Well catch you later. Oh and thanks so much for asking me to come and letting my friends stay too. This summer is going to be amazing!"
"Sure thing sweety. You know how much I enjoy being with you. Oh and I will call Tanya and let her know you are here. See you later."
Once Lois had gotten inside the house, Raven turned to Eddie and Chelsea.
"Guys, this is going to be so much fun! You can't believe how cool my aunt is. She lets you do anything! This is so much better than asking for permission you know. And the best part is no curfew."
"I don't know Rae" Chelsea started off as she reached into Eddie's backseat and pulled one of Raven's many bags out. "We can't be totally reckless. There still has to be some values we follow you know. Don't get all crazy on us." Chelsea finally managed to get all of Raven's bags out on the driveway before turning around and facing her.
Raven couldn't believe how uptight she was being. She knew that this summer was all about boys, parties and the beach, and she wasn't going to let anyone tell her how to act. She was almost 19, and was getting ready to head off to college. This was her last summer to be free and finally do what she wanted.
Once the whole car was unpacked and locked up, the sun started to beat a little harder on the 3. It was close to 90 degrees, a bit different than the 60 degree weather they had experienced earlier.
All the sweat and the heat were finally getting to them as Eddie and Chelsea took off their jackets and threw them over their shoulder. Eddie and Chelsea turned around, noticing Raven start to peel off her many layers of clothes.
They couldn't believe how different Raven was acting and looking. She slowly peeled off her Juicy sweater first and then decided to pull off her white polo shirt underneath.
It was as if Raven was undressing in slow motion. She had looked amazing, with her tight white tank top fitting snuggly underneath. She hadn't had time to find her regular bra's that she had already packed earlier, so Raven put on her new push up bra instead. Not to say that she was definitely showing off all her curves and flaunting her new figure.
Both couldn't help but stare as they watched Raven untie her long ponytail and swing her head back to fix it into a tight bun. As she lifted her hands, Eddie noticed Raven's hipbones slightly sticking out from her new sexy figure and couldn't help but look. He then noticed something shiny hanging from the end of her tank op that stopped just centimeters below her belly button.
"Rae did you get your belly button pierced?" shrieked Eddie.
"Oh yeah do you guys like it?" she said as she pulled her shit up. "You guys know how I love baby phat so I bought the ring for it. Hot right?"
Before either of them had time to say anything Raven leaned over and slowly picked up her bags and started to walk to the door.
All Eddie and Chelsea could do was stare at each other, as they couldn't believe what just happened.
"Can you believe her?" Chelsea said as she looked at Eddie with concern. "It's as if she changed her whole appearance for this one summer."
"Yeah Chels….Rae looks really good. I mean she looks like a model now. I can't believe it!" Eddie said as he picked up his suitcase and followed Raven in.
"Eddie!" Chelsea yelled as he walked on by, "who is going to get the rest of this stuff?"
"I will Chels don't worry! I just want to drop some of this off."
Chelsea watched as Raven fumbled with the door, trying to open it with her bags in her hand. She was also noticing the many boy figures starting to emerge from their houses to stop and stare at the new arrivals. She knew who they were looking at, but she didn't care for that right now. Raven was her best friend, and if she was going through this new stage then she might as well go through it as well.
She quickly lifted her shirt up and tied it into a knot around her same toned stomach. As she flaunted her way to the front door she noticed both Eddie and Raven stop and stare.
"What?" she said, as she made her way past them into the cool house. "Can't a girl flaunt it?"
Both of her friends said nothing, as they looked at Chelsea up and down. She got the drift and untied her shirt and walked into the kitchen.
"Chels…." Raven said as she walked into the house, "I thought you looked hot."
As Eddie watched Raven walk by he couldn't help but imagine. Man, Rae is definitely hot this summer. The guy that gets her will be the luckiest guy ever. I mean damn…look at the stomach and not to mention her her ches……
"Come on Eddie lets finish unpacking." Raven said that startled him out of his imagination.
"Sure Rae lets go! " he said as he watched Raven walk in front of him and make her way to the car.
The greatest scent came to his nose; the smell of vanilla and sugar filled his head as he watched her finish pulling bags out of the car. It was the greatest thing he has ever experienced in his life.
Ok dude! You can't think like this. Raven is your best friend and you have known her forever. Stop looking at her hot new look and try and notice some other girls. Just stop staring man!
After he reopened his eyes, he noticed Raven was staring at him square in the face.
"Eddie, I guess I am going to have to unpack myself. Don't worry, you just find your room and Chels and I will finish. By the way, thanks for driving all the way up." With that Raven pulled Eddie into a tight hug.
"Now let's get finished and get to the beach man!"
Raven practically ran upstairs followed by Chelsea, almost knocking him over.
Shit Eddie thought, I seriously have to find another girl or I'm going to lose it. With that Eddie made his way up the stairs and walked by his room. He peeked in noticing Raven and Chelsea changing their shirts, only to be standing in their bras.
"Oh my God!" he said, as he quickly ran into his room and slammed the door.
Raven and Chelsea laughed as they noticed the horrified look on Eddie's face.
"Boys are so weird Chels!" Raven said as she closed their door. "Let's finish and head to the store. I have to find something hot for Parker and you have to find something hot for…..your boy!"
With that, the girls unpacked their things and were heading outside to start their summer.
Everything was starting off great to them. No drama yet, cute boys all around, and no parents either. They couldn't believe how good they had it.
However, they wouldn't believe how everything would be changing so quickly for one of them that would affect their lives forever.
