Chapter 2 You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel

Raven;

I woke in the morning, I wasn't shocked that Drew was gone. From what I understand that's how one nights stands work. So got up from my comfy bed to pick up my strewn clothes and to make coffee. While I picked up my stray shirt and knickers, I came across something that wasn't mine, a very long pristine leather belt. Ok, two things struck me, one; How did her miss his belt, clearly it was something he needed for his jeans, and two; I could imagine-slash-hope that he could give me a light spanking with it. I'm guessin no which made me sad.

I quickly had a shower thinking about that giant Scot, he certainly knew what he was doing or at the very least he wasn't a slouch. I got out and wrapped black fluffy towel around my nudity, I had promised my sister that I wouldn't be naked around her as she thought that was creepy, so I promised to cover up, usually I would be nude all the time, speaking of Iziah, she should be along soon to question about Drew McIntyre leaving my boat at midnight. See, my identical twin Iziah likes to blow off steam after work, so she goes and winds up stumbling back to my boat so I could patch her up and she could sleep off her wounds. I'm just hoping that this was something she could patch herself.

I went to the bench with a small smile on my face, last night at some point I decided I needed caffiene, Drew had other ideas, so instead of making coffee, Drew bent me over bench and had his wicked way again. I had put the cup, ready made into the fridge. All it needed was hot water.

I went to open the fridge stopping in my tracks, the whiteboard usually tells me what I'm doing that day, last night it was blank because I knew what I would be doing today. Now written across my blank board, was Drew's name and number. The name was true, the number however I had doubts about. Then I started to get excited, the last time I had a guy leave me a number it turned out to be the number of a great burger place. Ooooh! Maybe this one was a doughnut shop, I needed somethin to go with my coffee. I pressed in the number making sure my Invisible Man app was on, it was my sisters app, basically put I can ring this number but that won't be able to ring back.

"Hello?"

I had no idea what to do so I hung up, this had actually never happened, people seemed to understand the rules of a one night stand, still some people left fake numbers which pretty much screamed, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN!

But Drew left a real number and when he answered the phone, I just freaked out a little. Ok, it was a fluke, erase the number from the whiteboard and dock in a different marina. It'll be fine. I grabbed my coffee cup and put it on the bench just as Iziah came barging in. Thankfully she didn't seem to have wounds to patch.

"Hey Rae whatcha doin?" Iziah flopped down on my built in couches, this was not the time to tell her that I had Drew there as well. I swear 90% of my boat is now christined and yes that was all Drew and me.

"Agonizin"

"About what?" Iziah asked as I started getting a coffee ready for her as well.

"Firstly; Did you come to the boat last night?"

Iziah shook her head, she was a good liar at the best of times but she knew better than to lie me because she knew I would know.

She shifted uncomfortably for a moment which was even weirder, "I was gonna go pick some bar brawls, but instead I wound up talkin to a friend"

"You don't talk to people and you don't have friends Iziah, you said friends are for weak people, me and Jamie"

Iziah ran a hand through the black strands and silver ringlets we shared. "Raven I have no idea what actually is going on with my friend, as soon as I know, I will share. Will you give me that?"

"Fine, let me tell you why I'm agonizin" I bought the cups over and sat with her, perhaps she could shed some light on this whole number thing, I know don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but that damn paranoia was far stronger than ever.

"Last night I met a guy, took him home, had some great sex, correction, mind blowing sex, then I slept and he left but not before writing his name and number on the whiteboard."

Iziah's eyes lit up, she knew every secret I had including my 'hunting' nights, so she knew all about the burger place. "Oooh tell me it was barbeque!"

I laughed, "I was hoping for doughnuts actual" "Actual it was his really real number, tell me that's weird right?"

"Not really Rae, if the sex was as mind blowing as you believe then maybe he wants to come back for round two. Would that be a bad thing?"

No, it's not a bad thing but that didn't mean it was a good idea but we all know I won't be kickin him outta my boat if he decides to come back. Just as my phone went off, so did my sisters, when she checked hers, she quickly put her cup in the sink and kissed my temple goodbye as she always did. I didn't wanna answer the phone but I had no choice.

"Good mornin Dad," Yes I was a little paranoid that Dad all ready knew what I had done last night, several times might I add.

"Good morning Raven, do you know what today is? Today is the day of the month to join us for cards, I assume that hasn't changed"

"Dad, you'll have to speak up, I'm wearin a towel" He jolly well knew that I would be at cards tonight, I like to see how much of the pot I can take before they click on that I'm hustling them.

Dad shuddered at my towel comment but at least got the meaning, yes I would be cards tonight. "So will you be able to bring some nibbles?" Dad asked hopefully, and yet he knew I would and my Father, Shawn Michales will eat 90% of my food and tell me I need to visit more but with his job at NXT and my job, that wasn't exactly in the cards. It wasn't like there was bad blood, we just got busy lives, so my sisters Harmoni, Jamie, Iziah and myself decided that we will visit him once a month and do something, for me it was poker night.

"Yes Dad I'll bring some food, now my towel is gettin chilly so I'd like to get dressed at this point.

He shuddered again, "We'll see you at six"

1800 Shawn Michales house; Raven

So instead of working, I spent all day making homemade burgers, instead of going round the back I went to the front door and knocked the door with my foot. He was already talking to someone. I kicked again harder making him shout.

"All right! I'm-a coming!"

Dad opened the door which was unlocked but since my hands were filled with food, he let it go.

"Ooh is it pizza?"

"Burgers I'm afraid Dad" I passed him the platter so I could take off my long jacket. Today I decided on my black loose Friday the 13th shorts and a singlet. I tied my hair up in a loose ponytail. Dad looked at my odd ankle socks.

"Rae you should really think about wearing shoes"

"Nope, I'm boycottin shoes"

Dad laughed "I'm just glad your past the boycotting pants phase"

Now that was fun. I followed Dad through the hallway that led to the kitchen, since Dad was leading the way I couldn't see past him. He put the platter on the table, telling his friend to dig in. When Dad moved to the jug to make a coffee for me I saw who was sitting at his table. Drew McIntyre looked just as shocked to see me as I did him.

Dad's phone went off thankfully, hurriedly he introduced us as he dashed to pick up his phone from his room. I should've seen this coming, I see everything else fucking coming but not this. This is what happens when I don't overthink. Still I had to stay so I took seat opposite him and let out a bright smile despite being racked with nerves and maybe some hormones.

"So this is awkward huh"
