A/N: I am so so sorry this took so long! I had the chapter planned out and knew what I wanted to write for a while but never found the time to do it. It will probably be a while between chapters but I promise you I will try to post chapters up more regularly, I already have the next one halfway planned but I thought adding that bit in this chapter would make it too long. To those who like this story feel free to message me or leave reviews with idea's or concerns and I'll be glad to respond but as always don't be mean or at least make criticism constructive. Anyway I've babbled on enough!

Ravens POV:

As Cassie and Kory discussed the different types of clothes they were going to try on once we got to the mall and the different accessories they were going to get with them I zoned out, god it bored me to death. Then again I don't know how anyone could put up with it, it's the same thing all the time, Kory just wants clothes that are pink! I hate pink, although I'll admit I own a pair of pink panties but it's just the one pair and I only wear them if I have nothing else. I may wear dark colours all the time but at least I have variety, Kory's clothes consist of different shades of pink and purple and that's it. The almost orange skinned girl annoys me so much that I can barely believe it but I know she means well. It's just frustrating, she's so pretty and perfect, and so is Cassie, they are such beautiful gorgeous girls that I look like crap in comparison to them. I can't believe how almost everything and anything annoys me, this trip to the mall was meant to help me clear my head but they are both getting on my nerves, endless babble about clothes, shoes, make up, basically shit I couldn't care less about. "So Raven you gonna tell us what shops you want us to visit?" Cassie asked me "Well unless you two want to buy clothes from house of leather or hot topic I doubt you'll want to come with me." I replied matter-of-factly. Kory raised an eyebrow but then her face lit up with excitement, "Maybe we should give it a try, I think it could be fun to look like Raven!" she said with a grin "You're kidding right?" I said, not believing what I was hearing. Cassie looked genuinely confused too, "Yeah, you're kidding right? I mean Raven's style suits her and all, and she looks good wearing that sorta stuff, but we wouldn't!" Cassie said, clearly trying not to insult me. Kory gave a pouty face "I thought it could be fun." She said sadly. I may have been too harsh on the alien girl "Hey Kory, come on, making Cass try on stuff I like would be like when you two try to get me to have your make over sessions, which by the way is still NOT happening, I'll be fine looking around my kinda shops, you two go to yours and we'll meet up in the coffee shop in the corner of the mall in an hour?" I suggested, "Sounds great!" Cass said and so we carried on towards our destination.

As we walked through the doors Kory and Cass waved to me as they hurried off to their first shop, filled with girly clothes and shoes. I sighed, that sorta stuff sickened me. I headed straight for house of leather first, as I walked through the door the smell of all the leather instantly hit me and I loved it, I looked through all their new jackets seeing if any appealed to me more than the one I was wearing now. I saw a few that were nice but couldn't decide if I wanted to buy them, after all leather was extremely expensive and although I have a considerable amount of money I still didn't want to blow it all in one go. I decided to leave the jackets and looked at the boots, but again none could beat the pair I had on now either. I decided to leave until they got some new things in, not that I often come into the city to check. I headed off to hot topic, and as I walked through the door I saw some girls giggling and pointing at a poster of the lead singer of Black Veil Brides, Andy Biersack, I liked their music and I could admit he was an extremely good looking guy, but there was no need to giggle and act like school girls. As I passed them I heard a girl say "Oh Andy is Bae!" God I HATED that word! It was so stupid, I thought the worst had passed when YOLO and SWAG slowly started to die out but once one silly thing dies out another starts, I seriously worry for this generation. I looked at a few T-shirts and picked out two, a black shirt with the Guns N Roses logo in the middle and a shirt with a gothic styled Alice in Wonderland design. I also picked up some skeleton design leggings and another pair with a galaxy print on them and then simple black ones, I also got black and white striped over the knee socks and a pair of black tights with a purple bow at the top. I then went to the pyjama section, I usually don't wear pyjamas and though I wouldn't let anyone know it, I enjoy sleeping in the nude. That's probably the only time I do like being nude though, at least the quilt covers my body and I don't have to look at it. But as I almost had an embarrassing moment with Bart this morning, although I luckily caught the quilt before it revealed my boobs, I decided I should start wearing pyjama's more. So I searched and searched. I didn't like most of them but I found a set of studio ghibli themed hot pants and tank tops and a Pokémon themed set along with Pikachu pyjama pants. Originally I wasn't going to check the lingerie section but I did anyway, I picked up a set of black, lacy bra and panties, it was sexier than what I'd usually go for but what the hell. I went to check out and plonked everything down on the counter. The girl behind the counter looked very punky, she had quite pale skin like me but without the horrible greyish tone, and she had two lip rings either side of her mouth, a nose ring and dark, lipstick, eyeliner and eye shadow with blonde dread locks. "Someone on a little shopping spree?" she said almost as emotionlessly as I usually sound, while she put my stuff into a bag "Uh kinda yeah, I don't come down here much so I thought I'd stock up you know?" I said shyly, not used to having to talk to people. She smiled "You should come down here more often, you'd get along with most of the people in here." She said, "You mean like those lot?" I said gesturing to the girls who were still drooling over Andy's poster, "Well maybe not them, but you get my meaning, you're a cool gal and I think you just need to come outta your shell more, let your feelings be seen." She said with a smile. I thanked her and paid for my stuff "If only it was that easy." I said under my breath as I left the shop.

I realised I'd only spent half an hour shopping and didn't really fancy looking for Kory and Cass, I'd no doubt get dragged into their shops and they'd make me try on god awful looking things. I spotted them upstairs, Cass holding a denim skirt up to her waist and Kory jumping up and down with excitement as she clearly thought it looked great. I smiled slightly, Kory's so cute sometimes but it made me a little sad that if my emotions got that high something might explode. I looked around but couldn't see any shops that I'd be interested in, however outside of the mall directly across the street I did see a shop that got my attention. Ann Summers, I could see very sexy looking under wear in the window and assumed it was a lingerie shop. I checked Kory and Cass weren't looking and walked over to the shop. However, as I started looking around I realised this definitely wasn't just a lingerie shop, all the under wear was far sexier than anything I'd ever seen, some of them didn't even seem like underwear, crotch less panties? Kind of defeats the purpose of panties in my opinion. I then saw at the end of the shop a lot of phallic shaped objects and although I usually would have been disgusted I had to have a look. They all seemed to be rampant rabbits going by what it said on the box. Now of course I'd heard of sex toys but I'd never really looked into it, I never really thought about masturbation and I'd only ever done it three times before this morning's incident in the shower and I'd never used a sex toy. I saw loads of different kinds, the bendy one, the silicone one, the little slim one, the metal one, the mighty one. They were all different shapes sizes and colours and I soon found myself wanting to try one out, this wasn't like me at all, I never thought I'd find myself buying a sex toy but the way things were going it seemed highly likely. I saw one that peaked my interest, the rotating one, I picked up the box and read the description. 'This is The Rotating One, a sensational Rampant Rabbit that moves like no other. Powerful, smooth and flexible, this vibrator promises to satisfy with massaging metal beads in the shaft that rotate in every direction. With multiple vibration settings and an easy-to-use control panel, finding your most orgasmic setting is simple. There are 7 functions in the soft Rabbit ears, with 3 rotating modes in the shaft.' It sounded great! I then saw there was more 'Features: Insertable length: 7 inches, Diameter: 1.5 inches, 10 vibration functions, Waterproof, PVC Material, Push button controls, 2 directional rotation speed' Wow! It was a little pricy but It sounded like it was definitely worth it, I had to try this when I had a quiet moment. I usually enjoy a good book or a cup of herbal tea, but I'll admit this morning was the best feeling I'd had in a long time and if that felt good, this could feel amazing! I got some wipes too and was about to pay when I saw some lingerie, a navy blue bra and panties with a lacy design around the edges and black ribbon criss-crossing over the middle, they looked very sexy and I liked them. I got a pair and then saw a burgundy coloured strapless bra and matching panties, I threw them in my bag too and walked to the check out, it was only then that I got very shy and I felt heat rush to my cheeks as the lady scanned my things. She noticed me blushing "Don't worry dear we all do it." She said chuckling, I hadn't expected such a cheeky remark from an older woman but it did make me feel a little better, I handed over my money and dashed across the street hoping Kory and Cassie wouldn't see me exiting such a place.

I stuffed the bag into the bottom of my hot topic bag and went to the coffee shop. I looked around the shop but couldn't find the girls anywhere. I pulled out my phone and checked the time 11:56, I was a little early, I also noticed a text from Bart. I opened it and inwardly sighed as I read it, 'I thought we were having a moment there, why'd you bail on me?!' I sent one back 'We were, I'm sorry for heading out so abruptly but I needed some air and a little time to relax without you on my mind before I make a decision on how we go from here. I'll talk to you when I get back, I promise.' I sent back, it was a completely honest and sincere reply. A few seconds later my phone buzzed again and I pulled it out of my jacket pocket, another text from Bart 'Ok, well you better speak to me tonight, we need to sort this out.' I sighed as I put my phone back into my jacket, Bart was right we did need to sort this.

I ordered a coffee and sat down at a table. I looked down into my cup of coffee as if searching for an answer there. Bart loved me, he truly did, I didn't even need to read his emotions to tell it was true, he sounded so sincere and honest as he told me exactly how he felt, and the things he said were wonderful, I never thought I'd hear anything like that from the 13 year old lightning bolt. I smiled as I thought of his smiling face, problem was that was just a disguise, he was really a troubled, serious boy who almost never smiled, but he'd had a hard past and was constantly worrying about things. He had loosened up and opened up to me more and it was obvious his hyper, over joyous personality wasn't all a cover. He still looked handsome even when he wasn't smiling though, he looked thoughtful, mysterious and well...sexy. It was clear I liked him too, but love, I don't know, it's true that whenever he's around my emotions go wild and I can't really stop thinking about him, but is that love? He's a gorgeous, wonderful and kind hearted boy and I liked his company, I liked him being around me, I liked how we could talk for hours honestly and openly. We'd even had movie nights together and I'd sometimes lay my head on his chest as we watched. His hard, toned chest. I did feel funny whenever he walked, or rather ran into a room, and I loved how each time I felt a gust of wind I'd look around for him, even when it was just the weather. And earlier as he confessed his love for me, I couldn't help but be drawn to him, his voice calmed me, his words wooed me and I couldn't stop myself from leaning in closer and closer to him as I looked into those beautiful green eyes. I love Bart, I love him, I do! I love Bart Allen. I smiled as I took a sip of my coffee, happy I'd finally decided. I love him. My happiness didn't last long however as Cass and Kory finally joined me and started boring me buy telling me about all the things they'd bought.
