They entered The Pink Elephant, with no problems. One of Raven's friends, Jaime, was dating one of the bartenders that worked there. They walked to the bar and sat down since there were no free tables. Raven looked over at Chelsea and felt her temperature rise. The redhead was wearing a rose colored, satin camisole, and tight black Seven jeans, and black heeled boots. Raven couldn't take her eyes off of her. She looked over at Veronica Colón. The Cuban upper classmen seemed to be having the same problem. Raven felt her blood boil as she saw the almost predatory gleam in her hazel eyes. She watched as the girl sauntered over to Chelsea, who was standing against the wall. She slid her hand above Chelsea and leaned against that same wall making sure she was getting very close to the redhead.

"Here you go, try one of these." Jaime said handing Raven a shot. She swallowed it quickly, barely noticing the burn in her throat as it went down. Her eyes were glued to the two standing on the wall.

"You better watch it. It looks like Ronnie is out to still your girl." He whispered in her ear.

"She's not my girl. Chelsea's straight." Raven said with a dismissive hand. Then she saw Ronnie take Chelsea's hand, leading her to the dance floor, and the dancing they started to do was anything but straight. Raven grabbed the other shot out of Jaime hand and downed it. Before heading over to the dance floor.

"Hey I was going to drink that…" Jaime called after her over the music.

She walked over to the dancing couple, who was now doing a sort of grind, and tapped Ronnie on her shoulder. "Oh hey Baxter, what's up?"

"Do you mind if I cut in?" Raven asked, trying to keep her eyes off of Chelsea's gyrating body.

The older girl looked down at Chelsea, and then back at Raven. She thought about declining the younger girl's offer, but the look in Raven's eyes told her "no" wasn't an option for her. "Be my guest." She said stepping away from the redhead and winking at Raven.

Raven stepped behind Chelsea just as the song was changing. The pulsating sounds of Daniel Beddingfield's song fill the air. She closed her eyes and let the words of the song and feel of Chelsea body moving and sliding against her wash over her.

If only I could get through this
I get through this

I gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta make it, gonna make, gonna make it through
I'm gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta take my, gotta take my mind off you

She could smell the scent of Chelsea shampoo, which was mixing with the scent that was pure Chelsea, and Raven thought she would faint from being so lightheaded. She slid her hands down Chelsea's sides to her hips, and pulled her to her until her back was against Raven's chest, and their hips were grinding together.

Give me just a second and I'll be all right
Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
Just another day and then I'll hold you tight

It was hard to keep herself from getting caught up in it all. For the first time, she could touch Chelsea in ways that's she'd only dreamed of. And Chelsea felt so good against her. She wondered what would happen if she swept her long red hair aside and kissed the back of her neck. She felt her hands moving and forced them to move to Chelsea's waist.


When your love is pouring like the rain
I close my eyes and it's gone again
When will I get the chance to say I love you
I pretend that you're already mine
Then my heart ain't breaking every time
I look into your eyes

The words of the song hit Raven right in the gut. She'd never really paid attention to the song before, but it made everything she was feeling come to the surface, and she felt raw and exposed. She almost walked away, but then Chelsea turned around and their eyes locked, and they stayed that way for what felt like an eternity. For a moment, she let Chelsea see everything that she was feeling, and she was almost sure that she saw the same thing reflected back from Chelsea.

That's just wishful thinking, Baxter. She shook the thoughts from her head and lowered her gaze for a moment. They went back to dancing, but Raven was careful not to let herself get caught up in the feelings anymore.

Chelsea was having a similar reaction to dancing with Raven. Her body felt alive, and for the first time she was allowed to touch and be touched in a way her body had ached for, for such a long time. It was also the first time, she'd let Raven see everything she'd been feeling for the past six months. She wasn't sure, but she thought she saw a hint of that reflected back at her in Raven's eyes. But then Raven had looked away, and now Chelsea was left confused and afraid to hope.

She and Raven continued to dance to a few more songs, and then a slow song came on. She felt Raven try to pull away, but she wasn't quite ready to let this moment end, so she wrapped her arms around the dark haired girl's neck and pressed her body against her. She was almost certain she heard Raven's breathing change, and when she pulled back to look at her face, she thought she saw a slight blush on Raven's cheeks.

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever been in love

Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

Chelsea felt these words with every fiber in her being. She gazed up into Raven's eyes, willing her to see everything that was in her heart, and for a moment she thought that Raven understood. She saw something reflected in the eyes that were staring back at her, and her heart soared. She noticed that Raven also seemed to be having trouble making eye contact with her. She wondered what that was all about.

"So, are you having a good time?" Raven whispered in her ear.

"Yeah, I'm having a great time. Thanks for letting me tag along." Chelsea replied, trying to hide the slight shiver she got when she felt Raven's breath on her ear.

"No problem, I love spending time with you Chels." Raven said smiling.

"I love spending time with you too, Rae." Chelsea let her head rest on the dark haired girl's shoulder.

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care

Chelsea closed her eyes and imagined that this was real date, and that Raven was feeling all the same things that she was. Raven's arms moved to hang loosely around her waist. Then, she felt a hand rubbing her lower back, sending delicious sensations up and down her spine. She had to will her breathing to remain normal even though her insides felt like they were turning into jelly.

She let her forehead fall to Raven's shoulders, silently inhaling her perfume, letting it fill her senses. Then before she could stop herself, she pressed her lips to the delicate skin of Raven's neck. It was only when she heard Raven gasp that she realized what she done. She looked up and saw the shock on the psychic's face. She mumbled an apology and something about having to go to the bathroom and walked off the dance floor towards the restrooms.

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep

Chelsea walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She berated herself for being so stupid. It was like she was no longer in control of her actions, and that was very dangerous. She splashed some water on her face, and walked back out of the door. On her way out, she ran right into Veronica Colón. Chelsea had gotten the distinct feeling that the older girl had been flirting with her when they'd first arrived.

"Oh sorry, Veronica, I didn't mean to." Chelsea apologized.

"Don't worry about it. It's cool. And the name's Ronnie by the way." Veronica said leaning against the wall.

"Ronnie it is then, well, I'd better get back to the group." Chelsea said trying to get past the Cuban girl.

"Hey Chelsea, wait." Ronnie said, grabbing her arm.

"Yeah?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to do this." The girl replied, pulling Chelsea against her and crushing her lips to her.

It took a moment for Chelsea to realize what was happening. It was the first time that she'd ever been kissed by a girl, and for a moment she was upset that it wasn't Raven. Worry about that later, Daniels. She pushed away from Veronica hard, almost falling in the process.

"What the hell was that?" She asked wiping her mouth.

"Sorry, I didn't know how else to get your attention." Ronnie replied with a cocky grin.

"Well, a 'hello' would have been enough."

"How was I supposed to say hello when you spent the whole night in the arms of tall, dark, and lovely?" Ronnie asked sauntering over to her.

"Look, I don't know where you're going with this, but I don't think I can offer you what you want."

"Oh? And why is that?" Ronnie asked peering into Chelsea's eyes.

"Because I…I like someone else, and I'm not looking for anyone else."

"Let me guess…it's Raven Baxter."

Unbeknownst to the other two, their kissed had been witnessed by another set of eyes.
