Chapter 9 Date with Kris
I sat at the coffee table where I was due to meet Kris for our date. I started thinking about the fight I had with the Titans. I mean they have been my friends for such a long time. I know I'll go out with them next Saturday, and be all nice and chirpy and hopefully they won't think I'm a crazy hormonal mess. Yeah that should work. I hope.
"Raven"
"Kris"
"Sorry I'm late I got a hysterical phone call from Zoë and it took me at least half an hour to calm her down"
"Don't worry about it"
"So what do you wanna do today?"
From the moment he said those words we were up and out. He took me to a fun fair and won me a weird little stuffed animal. I loved that as it fitted into my purse and I didn't have to lug it around, because it wasn't some weird looking teddy that was twice the size of me.
We wanted to go to a movie next but there was nothing on so we just went to the park got an ice cream and just talked for hour. I told him about just about everything in my life, and he did the same.
After my first and best date we had to go to work
"I really don't want to go in I'm just having too much fun"
"I know but we have to go in we promised we would"
"Fine"
"There's a good girl now I just have to stop at my apartment to get my uniform"
"Uniform?"
"Uniform yeah I'm on chef duty until next Saturday so I need to have the little hat and yeah"
"Okay"
We pulled into a small driveway and got out
"It's in that building with the red bricks just over there"
"Okay great"
He led me into the building and then into his apartment. I looked around it was small, but you could tell it was his because it just symbolised him. I was going to turn around and tell him this, but was cut of by him pulling me in and then kissing me. About half way trough, he stopped and turned away. Was I that bad a kisser?
"Raven I'm so sorry but I can't do this"
"Do what?"
He sighed and looked if he was about to cry
"I can't date you, I thought I was ready but I'm just not. I'm still in love with my ex girlfriend. I know I should have told someone so they could warn you. But you're the first person I've admitted this to and, I know it wouldn't be right to carry on so I'm ending it, I can't tell you how sorry I am"
"You don't have to be sorry, at least you were prepared to come to terms with yourself. I can't even admit to myself that I'm still in love with this other guy too"
"Malchior?"
"No his name is Beast Boy, and I've been in love with him for as long as I can remember"
We spoke for about another hour, he told me about his ex Amie. And how one day, she just left him, no closure at all. He described her in such loving detail, you would think she was his wife. I then told him about BB, and told him things, I would of never dreamed of spilling .All Kris could say was this.
"You speak of Beast Boy like he's the other half of you tell him how you feel while you still can. Before Amie left I never did tell her how much I loved her, and I should have done every single day"
You know you can't have Raven with Kris think of the outrage!
