Chapter 9
Raven POV
After that talk with Jax I had to go to school. I found myself lost in thought until I saw Hayden and Stephanie talking close to my locker. I walk towards them and Hayden looked at me before smiling.
"How was your weekend sis?" He asked finally calling me that old nickname I loved so much because it showed how we felt for each other perfectly.
"Good.." I mumble still kinda lost in Jax's words.
"You sure? You look.. distracted with your thoughts." He says and I look up at him.
"Does Shawn have a crush on me?" I ask him as his eyes widen and he gulped. The reaction was enough to confirm Jax's suspensions.
"How did you.." I stop him.
"Jaxon told me." I say simply though still thinking.
"Of course he did." He says glaring at the floor slightly.
"Look Raven.. Shawn doesn't want you to know because he doesn't want to make things awkward between you two. I mean you just met each other and all.. he didn't want to say anything." My eyes snapped up to look at his hazel ones.
"When has 'just met' or 'knowing your name' mattered?" My voice sounded harsh and he noticed. I see Steph hug him closer to her and I could see slight fear in her eyes.
"It does to him Raven." Hayden says looking in my eyes and I shake my head.
"You know lovey-dovey shit is not my thing. The most romantic I've ever let myself do is make out with Jaxon at a red light or get a matching tattoo with him. You and I both know romance and 'love' in that way is not for me." I say as I feel my breathing go heavy for a second.
"You can be loved Raven.. very easily at that. You just need to let people in." His words made me hiss.
"Not you too." I say shaking my head.
"What?" He asks confused.
"Jax told me the same thing.." I say looking at the floor I see Hayden smile for a second.
"You know that if we both agree on something is always right. Give Shawn a chance.. I promise you won't regret it. He would never hurt anyone." He says and I roll my eyes thinking.
"Hey guys... is something wrong?" I didn't have to look up to know it was Shawn.
"Ahm.." I hear Hayden say not sure how to answer. I sigh and look up at Shawn looking in his eyes. I think I've know him long enough to know that he wouldn't hurt someone else.. not on purpose at least.
"Do you wanna maybe hang out with me after school today?" I ask him directly and I could tell he was a bit taken back from the sudden question.
"I really don't have anything better to do. We could go for a walk and get to know each other better if you want." I say as if it was no big deal.. probably because it's not. I'm not looking at this as a date and I sure as hell wasn't gonna fall to his feet. I was only giving him a chance.. probably because I knew that no matter what I knew I wasn't capable of love.. and of course the fact that blonde was glaring daggers at me.
"Um.. sure." He says looking at me carefully though I could see he was just shocked but happy.
"Cool, I'll see you at 5 at my house." I say kissing his cheek extremely close to his lips, I gave him a flirty smile and walked with a triumphant smile on my lips looking directly at blonde. I could see the jealousy dripping from her face and I enjoyed every second of it. I hear the bell ring and I walk to my class, classes are so boring yet I've always managed to get good grades despite my lack of interest of the classes.. another blessing I got from my father. I always remembered things people said no matter how long ago it was or if I'm even paying attention which is the reason why I only had to read out loud once and never again.
Lunch came quickly and I took a seat next to Shawn smiling a flirting with him making him blush and that made me smile a laugh as I teased him. He's way too precious and cute for his own good. School passed in a blur and I was finally in the house I was suppose to call home. I went straight to my room and got dressed (pic up top). I looked in the mirror and smiled at my reflection. This look is so like me to wear.. how would he be interested in someone like me? A girl who is not good for a guy like him. I sighed and for once didn't wear my leather jacket letting my hands and fingers tattoos show. I wanted him to see that I wasn't the girl for him so I decided to put my hair up in a bun as well -it was pretty hot outside-. I hear the doorbell ring and I take my phone and earphones in hand putting them in my back and front pocket before walking out of my room and down the stairs.
"Hey." His eyes lift from the blond who was desperately trying to gain his attention.
"Hi. Ready to go?" I ask him with a smile and he looks at me up and down to my surprise he didn't stare at my body but more like at the tattoos and an even more surprise it wasn't with a bad face but with a curious one.
"Yeah." He says smiling and looked at my eyes. I frown why is he acting like this? I walk out the door with him and he led me to his car. I look at him curiously.
"I though you'd like to go to the amusement park." He says with a smile on his lips as he opens the door for me. I sigh but get in the car, he closes the door and walks to the drivers side.
"An amusement park?" I ask him trying my best not to snort he gives me a pout and I awed in my head. This boy is way too innocent and cute for his own good.
"Yeah.. is that wrong?" He asked worry in his voice and I smile at him.
"I'm just messing with you. You're too easy Shawn." I say and he frowns but lets a smile out. His smile is so beautiful. I take a second to look at him and noticed that he actually was wearing a black leather jacket with a grey V-neck t-shirt and tight black jeans with black boots. How did I not notice his style of cloth was similar to mine only a bit more formal and good boy like.
"What do your tattoos mean to you?" He asks and that caught me off guard. No one has ever asked that probably ether too afraid or just plain looked at me with horror and disappointment.
"Oh um.." I didn't exactly know how to answer considering the two people who knew the meaning behind them had been there with me all the way through everything I lived and every reason I got them.
"I can tell you mine first if you want." He says with a smile as he drove.
