The Wrong Choice
Later on at school Chelsea spotted Raven at her locker.
"Hey Rae." Chelsea said.
"Hey Chels." Raven said closing her locker.
"So….did you tell Eddie how you feel yet?" Chelsea said following Raven as she went down the hallway.
"There's nothing to tell, I've realized that I don't really like him. It was just my emotions playing games with me. I know now that I like Devon and only Devon." Raven said with a shrug.
"Aw, that sucks because I think you guys make a cute couple." Chelsea said with a frown.
"But me and Devon make a cuter couple." Raven smiled.
Chelsea shrugged as the bell rang and she went to her other class. Raven thought twice about what she said.
"Yeah…I'm making the right choice…..right?" Raven said nodding her head as she made her way to her next class.
Finally school was over and Raven went home to get ready for Eddie and Chelsea to come. She got snacks and drinks and put them on the living room table.
"What's going on here?" Tonya said as she walked into the living room seeing Raven cleaning up.
"Oh, Eddie and Chelsea are coming over to watch some movies and hang out for a bit." Raven said plopping on the couch and turning on the TV.
"Raven….how are things with you and Eddie?" Tonya asked sitting down next to her.
"Fine…why?" Raven said eyeing her mother. How did she know?
"Well it seems things have been more….evolved with you two." Tonya smiled putting her hand on top of Raven's.
"What are you trying to say?" Raven said slowly as she pulled her hand from Tonya's.
"Are you two dating?" Tonya whispered the word "dating" into her ear.
"No, no, no mom. Where would you get an idea like that?" Raven said hiding her nervousness.
"Y'all seem like y'all would be a cute couple…I can just tell…it's a gift." Tonya smiled as she stood up and brushed herself off.
"Well you better return that gift because it isn't working right." Raven said pushing her mom out of the room into the kitchen.
"First Chelsea and now my own mother!" Raven thought plopping back on the couch. Raven wasn't sure if she made the right choice.
Just then her door bell rung and it was Eddie and Chelsea. As they walked in Eddie stopped and whispered something into Raven's ear.
"I got you something but you'll have to wait until movie night is over." He said.
"Ok…what is it?" Raven smiled.
"It's a surprise." Eddie smiled back which made Raven's face turn red.
"No Raven….stop…STOP!" Raven thought stopping herself from gazing at Eddie as he went to sit down.
Through out the whole movie Raven was trying to guess what Eddie gotten her. A ring, a necklace, a bracelet? Raven thought of so many things but not the gift he gotten her. As the movie stopped Chelsea got up and stretched.
"Well…I'll be going now." Chelsea smiled as she winked at Raven who rolled her eyes at her.
When Chelsea, left Eddie got up from his seat.
"Ok, I'm gonna go get your present now." Eddie said as he went to his car.
Raven smiled as he walked out the door. A few seconds later Eddie came with a box.
"Here ya go." Eddie said as he handed the box to her.
"Wow Eddie, you didn't have to get me anything." Raven smiled as she took the box.
"I wanted to, now open it." Eddie smiled.
Raven smiled and she sat on the couch to open the gift. When she opened it, it was the new black leather boots she saw at the mall a few weeks ago.
"Oh my gosh Eddie. These must have cost a bundle!" Raven smiled as she took the shoes from out of the box.
"Nah….I got the hook up." Eddie smiled.
"Thank you so much Eddie!" Raven smiled as she gave Eddie a hug.
"Your welcome Rae." Eddie said.
"But why did you get these for me?" Raven asked.
"I just thought you might like them." Eddie said.
Without thinking Raven kissed Eddie on the cheek which made him smile. Raven shyly looked down at her lap smiling too.
"Since I gave you two boots does that mean I get two kisses?" Eddie smiled moving a little closer to Raven.
"Did he just say what I think he said?" Raven thought shocked but happy.
"Is that what you want it to mean?" Raven smiled looking up at him.
Eddie nodded moving even more closely until they were face to face. They shyly moved their lips closer to each others until they kissed. Eddie unsurely started putting his arms around Raven's waist which made Raven put her arms around his neck. It seemed like they were kissing for hours but Raven didn't want to stop. "What is the matter with me?" Raven thought. She convinced her feelings for Eddie were just her imagination but at that moment they all came rushing back. It scarred her so much. Suddenly she pushed Eddie away.
"Eddie…." Raven said taking her arms from around his neck.
"Yeah…" Eddie said taking his hands from around her waist.
"I can't….I can't do this with you." Raven said with her head down.
"Rae I didn't mean to….." Eddie began.
"I think you should just go." Raven said with a sad expression. She couldn't look at him again.
Eddie walked to the door and sighed.
"I'll see you tomorrow Rae…" Eddie said walking out the door.
Raven wanted to cry. Why did she push Eddie away if she liked it so much? Why des she want Devon even though he never kissed her like that? Why does she feel….she made the wrong choice…
