I glanced over at him, and he opened the door wider to show me how full it was.

“Check the pantry,” Zavier said, and we weren’t surprised to find that stocked too.

“Is there soda and beer?” Logan piped up.

“Yep,” Reid answered, grabbing us all a beer each before wandering back to the couch. He opened mine and handed it to me, making me sigh.

“If I throw up, that’s on you.”

He chuckled but didn’t say anything, dropping down beside Zavier once he’d handed one to everyone else.

Ander locked the door on his way back inside, carrying the boxes of pizza over and placing them on the coffee table. He happily sat on the floor in front of us, and once we were all eating, Reid chose a random movie and hit play.

It was the closest thing to normal that I’d felt in a long time.

Logan

It was the most relaxing evening I’d had in ages. We all joked around, watched movies, and ate greasy pizza. It was awesome.

Raven stayed on my lap all evening, happily snuggling into me. When the others went outside for a cigarette, Raven opted to stay inside, giving me a moment alone with her.

“I’m sorry I made you cry. I didn’t want Reid bringing it up with you when you were having such a good day,” I murmured, and she looked up at me with a frown.

“Don’t be sorry. I just wish you’d told me you were struggling. You can always come to me about it.”

“It’s hard to talk about. I don’t really know what to say,” I admitted.

“That’s okay. We can just cry together if you need,” she promised, kissing my neck.

My hand slid up the back of her shirt, her skin warm under my palm, and I jerked back slightly as her fingers slid around my throat.

She winced and let go, but I grabbed her hand and held it. “Are you trying to strangle me to death or?—”

“It’s stupid, don’t worry about it,” she said tensely, making me realize I’d embarrassed her. When she tried to get off my lap, I moved her hand to my throat and encouraged her to squeeze a little.

“It’s not stupid. What were you doing? I don’t mind your hand around my throat, trust me.”

Hesitation filled her eyes before she relaxed a little, sitting up and bringing me closer with her hand so she could kiss me.

I groaned, encouraging her to keep her hand in place.

Confident Raven was fucking hot.

She ended up straddling me, my hands on her hips as she deepened the kiss, and I wanted nothing more than to strip her naked and fuck her right here on the couch.

“Sorry. Just grabbing my phone,” Reid said with a cringe as he appeared, breaking up our make out session.

“Why are you sorry? You live here and I’m your girlfriend,” Raven asked slowly, earning a small smile in return.

“You guys need time alone.”

I could appreciate them giving us space, and part of me wished I could’ve had her to myself for the night, but that wasn’t happening.

“We can make out with an audience, right, Rae?” I asked and waggled my eyebrows, making her laugh.

Reid gave me an amused glance on his way back outside, and I nuzzled into Raven’s neck as I pulled her forward.

“Fuck it’s good to be able to touch you.”
