Midnight Meeting

Saelin meets Rave at midnight

 Saelin, returned home, saying hello to her puppy, Kit-Kat, who was leaping up at her with all her might. Saelin dropped her shoulder nag and picked up the puppy giggling.
  "Ah, so your home?" Her father questioned, coming into the living room. Saelin nodded, sitting on the couch.
  "What's cooking dad?" she sniffed the air, her mouth practically drooling.
"Lasagna." and he disappeared into the kitchen again. Since Saelins mom had died from cancer when she was in the 2nd grade, her dad played her mom roll, and his role. He was an in home worker, and loved his running company. Saelin put down Kit-Kat and rushed up to her room, stripping all her garments and rushing into the shower, after coming out she changed into a new pair of clothes, a red dress, a leather jacket and boots. She brushed through her hair and made a fishtail, grinning at her look, she ran downstairs, and entered the kitchen.
 Her father eyed her, worry filling his eyes.
 "What's with the getup?" he questioned as she helped him set the table. Saelin grinned happily, she wasn't going to tell him.

  "I'm going to head out really late tonight, I've been planing on this since last month, a day for myself, a day without, anyone, anything, ya' know?" It scared Saelin at how easily that lie had slip out. Her father stared at her for a while. She had gotten her strong build, and the fact that she could eat anything without gaining an ounce, and her lips. Everything else was her mother, the curvy body, the hair, the eyes nose, the long legs, and the slightly tanned complexion.

   "Okay, be careful , take some money from the pineapple, just in case. OH, and your phone, your lucky your on break since that principal of yours died." Saelin rolled her eyes.
   "Well, not under those circumstances." Saelin rolled her eyes. She continued a conversation with her father with energy. They watched television 'til 10, then her father sleepily crawled up the stairs to his bedroom, even now, at 11:30, she could hear his heavy breathing. Silently, Saelin powered off the TV, grabbed her keys, and left. She walked slowly to the park, this was why she was leaving so early. Everything looked so much...mysteriously different at night time. By the time she reached the spot in the park, she could spot out Rave scrolling on his smart phone.

    "Hi." Saelin squeaked out, nervous as a mouse hiding from a quick-witted cat. Rave nodded. He then stood, looking Saelin in the eyes. She looked at the ground blushing the most beautiful shade of red.
  "Why do you even like me?" Rave's voice was mocking.
  "Aren't you scared of me? Oh! I get it, you're into those bad boy ty_"

   "NO! I love you! I always have, your a great person, to me you are. You have this certain aura around you! You always protect yourself, and stay strong," Saelin couldn't hold it in anymore, he was mocking her with every word that came out of his mouth.
  She whispered the last words, "I definitely love you..." A wind picked up and Saelin looked into Raves eyes. They had softened and a glint was glazed in them.
 "I see." Suddenly, they were handin hand and walking toward the exit of the park.

   "W-where are we going? Are we going to eat?" Without turning around Rave answered.
 "Yup, if you're hungry, and then to a hotel." Saelin froze.
"What? I'm not going to give my virginity to him, why should I?" She looked at him, and softened.
 "But if it means, me, with him...me giving him my special gift, I'll do it...but..." Saelin banished the thought. Why would he date her if he didn't love her? She tightened her grin in his hands, and slightly leaned against Rave.
 The walked in silence, until they reached the fast food restaurant.
 Bringing her back to reality, Rave asked her what she wanted.
 "Um, just a salad and some fries with water." She looked at her shoes, it surprised her how different they looked together. It was a dream come true.
 
  "and I'll take fried bacon with fries, and cheesy buffalo wings, with a medium beer, you know, the normal." Saelin looked up at him, she knew he smoked, but not that he drunk. His face smiled down at her, catching her gaze.
  "What?" His silky voice asked.

  "Nothing, except that I wanna' kiss you in front of everyone, I want to feel you on top of me, and hear you tell me you love me. I want us to get married, and have kids. You can have whatever job, so will I. But life isn't a fairytale, not, is it?"

  "Oh, nothin'. You have a free spaced appetite, don't you?" she laughed as they waited for the food.
 Rave nodded. His attitude wasn't as aggressive as she had thought.
  "I don't unusally eat alot, but it doesn't matter what I eat tonight, I'll burn it off when we get to the hotel." Saelin blushed a deep red.
 
  "How's this store so... still open, there's people here too." She glanced at the few couples, ad buisness men drinking themselves to death. Rave laughed.
  "It's a perf fast food place, open 24/7."
 Saelin nodded, smiling, she had a new favorite place to go.

   "Oh, that's cool, the food here seems good." She said as Rave went to collect their food. As he went towards the counter Saelin tried to stop her trembling hand. She was about to faint. He had accepted her. She had thought that she was going to lose it when he had mentioned the word hotel.

   They dug into their food silently. Saelin cleared her throat.
 "Which class do you like the most." Dumb question, why'd she have to ask that question?
 "I don't have one." Rave muttered through his food.
 "Oh."
  "I used to." He continued. Saelin listened intently as he told her something that she had never known about him.
 "My favorite was art. I was praised for what I drew ever since I was 7. Then my parents divorced, my mom kicked me out after she found me smoking in her room," After a pause he added, "I slept in an old art studio, the janitor, Mork, would allow me to.
 Saelin's eyes watered. That was tragic. She wanted to know more about him, and just looking at his face she could see the hurt hidden behind his courage and bravery and toughness, under his beautiful eyes.
 She stared.
For a long, long time.
  "What?" Rave caught her stare, and Saelin looked away, blushing with embarrassment
"Oh, no-nothing." Rave smiled his dark eyes laughing.
 "Tell me. After all, we are....girlfriend and boyfriend, right?"
Saelin truly blushed this time. Her body looking bright red. She looked down at her food, and started to eat. He was right, her brain was still absorbing the reality, not the fantisies she had.

   Soon they were, done, and Saelin couldn't help but think of what's next.
"Which hotel?" Rave asked casually as they threw away their foods. Saelin shifted un-comfortably in her seat.
  "Um..."
"Oh right, you don't know how tohave sexual intercourse, right?"
"Um, yes, that's it. The truth is..I'm scared. Not of you, but the pain. My best friend was raped, so I believe that it must have hurt alot. will it hurt for me too?"
Re-assuringly, Rave answered the question with tiny steps.
"Yes, it hurts for everyone, especially on your first time. But I promise you, I'll try hard to wipe that pain away."
 Saelin's eyes widened in wonder, as they left the restaraunt. Silently, they walked as Rave took another cigarettes. Their midnight meeting had ende, it was time for Making love.
