"Hey can I drive this time?" asked Raven as she followed Eddie and Chelsea outside. "I haven't driven in forever and these roads are basically flat."
"Rae….I don't know…I mean you've only had your license like a week and you know how you drive." Eddie said as he started to open the driver's door.
"Eddie puhhhhhhlease!" Raven whined as she ran up to him and grabbed his leg. "I'm on my hands and knees here boy. Come on this is summer and I just want to be able to drive like once."
As Raven grabbed Eddie's leg, he couldn't help but look down right smack into Raven's chest. Oh Shit man….stop looking... Damn Rae seriously got so fucking hot….just let her drive so she will let go of your leg and you can take a cold shower man.
"Ok Rae tell you what," he started off. "I am going to take a shower and get settled in, why don't you and Chels do your shopping now and then we will meet back up and head to the beach?"
"Ok great! We will miss you though" Raven said as she grabbed the keys and opened the door. "Bye Eddie!"
Eddie watched as Raven fumbled with starting the ignition. He also watched as Chelsea made the sign of the cross to poke fun at Raven's driving abilities. He knew she would be safe, he just didn't want anything bad happening to the girls while they were out all alone.
"Ok man, get in the shower and stop thinking about Raven!" he said as he fumbled his way back inside. Hopefully after his shower, and once they got on the beach, he could get his mind off of Raven and settle on another girl.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok Rae seriously you need to slow down!" Chelsea yelled as Raven made yet another death defying turn on the skinny road. Raven literally had been going at least 85 mph on a 60 speeding zone. Man this girl seriously knows how to live it up now she thought as Raven looked at her and stuck her tongue out.
"I'm sorry Chels, it's just I never get to drive and you know how I get. I've calmed down now." With that Raven turned on the radio just in time to find her jam.
"HELL YEAH CHELS THIS IS MY JAM!" Raven yelled as she pumped up the volume. She then let go of the wheel and pumped her arms up in the air as she started shaking her chest.
"Raven both hands on the wheel!" Chelsea yelled as she grabbed the wheel, not causing Raven to notice. "Ok Rae…seriously I'm driving now. Get out!"
With that Raven pulled the car into a gas station and unbuckled her seatbelt. Boy what's her problem? Raven thought as she pulled the keys out of the car and followed Chelsea around to the side.
"You know Chels…." She started off, "I don't know why you are so uptight right now but this is how I always am. What's gotten into you lately? You have never been this stiff before." Raven didn't realize she had started yelling at her best friend and that people were starting to stare.
Raven decided it was time to cool off. She then walked around to the other side of the car and walked into the food mart of the gas station.
"Where are you going?" she heard Chelsea yell.
"I'm getting something to DRINK!" she yelled right back.
Walking into the food mart was like walking into a freezer. The store was blasting the air conditioner like there was no tomorrow.
"Damn…great time for me to not be carrying my sweater" Raven said as she pulled her arms around her. She then paused in front of the snack section and took her hair out of its bun letting her long black hair cling around her already cold shoulders.
After driving for that long time, Raven realized that they hadn't had anything to eat basically all day. I better stock up on some stuff she said as she grabbed a cart. Within 5 minutes Raven had already grabbed 2 boxes of diet coke, some chips and dip, 4 salads and a lot of gum.
"This should hold us over until dinner" she said as she made her way up to the counter. Right before she got in line her cell phone rang, causing her to jump.
Putting her purse down she reached into her bag and pulled out the phone
Caller Unknown read the screen as she paused for a second. Usually she wouldn't answer unless she knew the number, but this time she decided to answer.
"Hello?" she said as she waited to here the voice on the other line.
She was answered back by a deep southern accent. "Now what is a gorgeous girl like you doing in this dump? Shouldn't you be tanning that body of yours?"
"Umm well depends on who is asking?" she flirted back. Somehow she recognized the voice but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Well….let's just say we've met before and you amazed me then and you are amazing me right now. How can someone look so sexy pushing a cart in a food mart?"
She was really starting to like this conversation. Not only was this person flirting with her to the max, but he was telling her how gorgeous she was; something she had not heard in a long time.
"Listen" he continued, "do you mind if I butt in line, because I have to get to work so I can get out early and see you later?"
With that, Raven felt a tap on her shoulder and literally screamed her lungs out.
"Whoa whoa Raven!" she was now facing Parker, the cute boy she had met earlier; only now he was the hot boy standing in his surfing shorts and baring the best surfers body she had ever seen.
She had felt like a complete idiot for falling all over him. She did however love the scent of his arms as he picked her up and helped her to her feet.
"Parker! You scared me." She said as she fixed her hair and picked her purse off the ground. "What are you doing here? Are you following me?" she said as she nudged him in the arm.
"I wish." He said as he moved them out of the line so the other customers wouldn't freak. "I was going to call you later tonight but I saw you and your friend driving by so I thought I would catch you instead."
Omg he really was going to call me she literally yelled in her head. Keep your cool and make sure to work it girl she reminded herself.
"Well that's very sweet of you to catch me. Actually I was on my way to go shopping with my girl Chels, but we had an argument over my driving so were taking a break right now."
"Yeah" he started, "I saw you speeding up the roads a while back! You got some made driving skills girl." He said as he poked her in the stomach.
"Listen, I wanted to ask you something" he said.
"Yeah?"
"A few of my friends are throwing a party tonight down at the beach, sort of a bonfire thing. I wanted to know if you and your posse wanted to come hang?"
A party on the beach sounded great to Raven except for one thing. She knew parties on the beach involved drinking and skinny dipping; at least they did in all the romance novels for teenagers. However this year was going to be different. Stop being such a wimp and just go with it. How many times does a hot guy flirt with you and invite you on the beach? Like…..never! She thought as she moved a little closer to Parker.
"Yeah sounds great. I was just going to go shopping for this trip so I will have to pick up an outfit or something." Before Raven could get back in line Parker came up behind her and grabbed her waist.
"Girl, haven't you ever been to a beach party? All you need is your hot body and a nice bathing suit." He said as he pulled a piece of Ravens long hair and twirled it around his fingers.
This alone made Raven want to jump in his arms and knock him over. She watched him every time he talked and wanted so badly but to have his lips kissing hers. She couldn't wait until she would feel the fire with this guy and be able to touch and kiss back something so gorgeous.
"Alright well I guess we will see you all later tonight" Raven said as she got back in line.
"Perfect! I'll look for you." And with that Parker paid for his items and walked out, but not before looking back at Raven and winking.
Once he was clear out of sight Raven jumped up and down, causing the other customers to stare. She didn't care, for a hot guy just told her to come to a party and that he was going to wait for her there. She had to tell Chelsea.
"Oh my God! I can't believe this! I have to look good tonight for Parker…..shopping here we come."
With that Raven handed the cashier a 20 and ran out the store forgetting to pick up her change. She didn't care, and she wasn't mad at Chelsea anymore. She knew at this bonfire there were going to be a lot of guys for Chelsea too, and she was bound to find someone for her.
Only when Raven was half way out the door that she wondered is this the beach where I had my vision?
After the warm air filled her body again Raven ran over to the car and ran to the driver's window to be greeted by Chelsea.
"Girl I'm sorry I was such a bitch! I have so much to tell you; Parker just invited us to a beach bonfire. So let's get going on that shopping girl, I seriously have to look hot!"
"Raven don't you think…." But before she could get another word out Raven ran over to the passengers side door and jumped in. she knew Raven was excited but she just met this boy and she was already acting all bizarre with him. I am going to have to watch this guy very carefully she thought. I don't trust him at all.
And with that, Chelsea started the car and pulled out of the parking lot, heading off to the shopping mall.
