Two Night Stand.
Chapter five -Last chapter
Raven slowly entered her apartment and sighed, seeing Richard and Kori making out on the couch. She loudly cleared her throat, getting the attention of the couple. "Raven!" Kori yelled, hopping up and running to her friend. "How are you, are you okay?" She asked in concern.
"I'm fine Kori." Raven said distantly.
"Are you sure, I mean what happened?" She asked.
"I'm just gonna take a shower, okay." She said, slowly walking to the bathroom.
…
"What am I supposed to do man?" Garfield asked his friend over the phone, "I don't have her number, I don't know where she lives, hell, I don't even know her last name!"
"I don't know what to say, you got to get creative."
It was then did an idea come to him. "I got it; I'll call you later, Vic." He said hanging up the phone. He ran over to a junk drawer and pulled out a hammer before walking over to the window near the fire escape.
…
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the movies with us?" Kori asked as her and Richard stood by the door, their coats and shoes on.
Raven sat on the couch her book open on her lap. "Kory I'm fine." Raven reassured.
"You sure?" Kory asked.
"Go, have fun." She encouraged turning back to her book.
Kori turned to Richard who shrugged before they both left the apartment. As soon as the door shut Raven let out a sigh, putting her book down, she wasn't even reading it, how could she? Her mind was far too distraught to focus on anything right now. It was then when she heard a knock on the door. She rolled her eyes and huffed before getting up off the couch. "What, did you forget your keys?" She asked opening the door.
"Ma'am, are you Raven Roth?" The officer asked.
"Yes?" She questioned, "What is this about?"
"You are under arrest for the breaking and entering of the residence of a Garfield Logan."
"You gotta be kidding me."
…
Raven sat in a jail cell completely aggravated. He had her arrested, he actually had her arrested. "I have officially hit rock bottom." She huffed to herself.
"Raven Roth, you made bail." A guard announced as he opened the cell door.
"Oh thank god, Kori to the rescue." She said getting up. The guard slowly escorted her down the hall and into a room where low and behold was waiting for her. Raven stood still in surprise as Garfield stood in front of her, flowers in one hand and an 'I'm sorry' balloon in the other. "What are you doing here?" She asked harshly.
"He bailed you out." The guard answered.
"I know this looks bad, but I didn't know any other way of contacting you." Garfield defended.
"Did you think maybe I didn't want to be contacted?" She said harshly.
"Oh my god Raven!" Kori yelled running up and hugging her friend. "Are you okay, what happened?"
"It doesn't matter." Raven answered, "I just want to go home." She said letting her friend walk her away.
"Raven wait, I'm sorry!" Garfield protested and she couldn't help but roll her eyes and turn to him. "Okay, I get it your upset, and this probably wasn't the best way of getting a hold of you… But I felt something, and I know you did too, and no matter what you say you can't deny that we had a connection."
"What about Terra?" She asked harshly.
"You read the note, it's over, it has been over. Look I know I should have told you about her but I can honestly say that when I was with you she didn't cross my mind, nobody crossed my mind, it was like no one else existed." He said honestly.
"Aww." Kori said from the background. "Come on Raven, give him another chance."
"You had me put in jail." She said harshly.
"Yes I know, and I'm sorry, that was a very stupid thing to do. I messed up, I do that a lot, but can you honestly tell me you felt nothing… nothing?" He said looking at her.
"You had me arrested."
"You're still on that, look, hey… someday you're gonna laugh about this. It will be a funny story to tell our kids." He shrugged.
"Can you please… just leave me alone?"
He let out a long sigh, "Okay." He said quietly in defeat, before handing her the flowers and balloon and walking out the door.
Raven sighed, turning back to her friend. "Can we go now?"
"Raven…" Kori began with a smile.
"Nope." Raven interrupted, knowing where this was going.
"You like him." Kori finished.
"No I don't, he's a clueless, immature-"
"Idiot?" Kori asked.
"Yes."
"No the balloon." Kory pointed.
"What?" Raven questioned looking up at the floating object. She pulled the string down and grabbed the round balloon. On one side it said 'I'm sorry' and on the other it said 'I'm an idiot.'
"Raven." Kori began.
"Don't say it." Raven told her, her eyes closed as she held the balloon.
"You like him." Kori finished again.
Raven scuffed and looked back down at the balloon. "Dammit." She swore, tossing the flowers and the balloon aside and ran out the door.
"Go!" Kori hollered in excitement before bending down and picking up the flowers.
Raven couldn't help but roll her eyes at herself as she ran down the cold winter streets. She was actually running after him, now she was starting to feel like the idiot in this situation. It was then did she spot him and she slowed her pace as she walked up to him. With the sound he turned around and smiled seeing her approach him. "You're a real idiot, you know that." She told him, trying to catch her breath.
He smiled, "Yeah, I've been called that before."
"I mean to think that we could actually work out…" She huffed as he started walking up to her. "It's ridiculous and crazy and-" He quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her close, quieting her with a kiss. If she was annoyed at all by the action she didn't show it as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, letting him spin her around as she kissed him back.
