Got a problem with me? (CAM)

[Cham]

Ravenna giggled along with Moni all the way down the stairs as they kicked Noah out, then back to the kitchen. It took nearly an hour of laughing, flicking flour, and actual working to mix up the cookie batter. And when that was finished, they put a batch into the oven. Ravenna showed her how to tell if it was hot or not without burning herself.

Then they got down to work. Seeing as Moni learned from touch, she let her feel the walls around the house. Familiarize herself with the way the doors and furniture were placed. Moving a few things to make it easier to touch the walls.

Finally, nearly three hours, and 4 batches of cookies later, Ravenna tested her. Spinning her around and leadeing her outside then inside, and mixing her up. By the touch of the walls, she did perfectly. Finding her bearings in a matter of minutes. "Youre ready kiddo!"

Checking the clock, she found it nearly 4:30. Together, they rushed downstairs, and cleaned up the kitchen just in time for Noah to walk up the front walk with Storm in tow. They were waiting for him, sitting at the table with a plate of warm cookies, and milk.

Ravenna stood, and made her way to him, kissing him momentarily, before taking his hand. "Welcome home sweetheart"

[Lotus]

It was a long day and the kids he was training were in a foul mood. Normally he didn't mind training the brutes of the career team, but today they were just being plain stupid and lazy. He lost his temper a fair amount of times and it was safe to say, he needed to cool off somehow; especially after the biggest guy grilling him over being with the 'weirdo that likes fire'. Noah really tried to not let that get to him, he couldn't be seen to be broken by that kid but he always had a way with his words, so instead, Noah just forced him to do something harder than the rest of them. And it was incredibly satisfying to watch him struggle along, so a smirk played across his lips and it grew even bigger when Noah managed to show the kid how to do the task at hand with ease.

After dismissing them all, he got a few handshakes from some of the more kind-hearted kids that loved how Noah had shown the kid up which helped his temper a little, but not a great deal. He didn't particularly like any of the kids he trained, but he loved the way they all made him feel powerful when they really couldn't do something. Clearing away was just tedious because he knew where he needed to be. He needed to be home with his girls and Storm was getting agitated with being outside and rejected for the past couple of hours. He needed comfort as well as Noah.

Storming up the front walk and unlocking the front door he was greeted with a heavenly smell and he couldn't help but close his eyes and try to relax his shoulders. He slipped his shoes off and let Storm go to where the smell would take him. He was then greeted by Ravenna and seeing her just eased his temper a little and he leant down to kiss her cheek. "It's good to be home baby." He whispered before she led him into the kitchen. Storm was sitting with his head on Moni's lap and when she heard the noise of someone approaching she spoke up.

"Hey big brother. Take it you had a bad session with the way Storm's acting." Just then Storm whined and Noah sighed, nodding his head before correcting himself when he realised, again, that Moni couldn't see him.

"Something like that, yeah." Then he knelt down and patted his knees. "Come here boy." Storm ran over to him and Noah hugged him, whispering how he was sorry for ignoring him all day. He kissed the top of his dogs head before he trotted back to Moni. "Well, he's forgiven me." With that Noah saw the cookies and for the first time in hours he grinned. "Are they for me?"

[Cham]

Ravenna was a little nervous by how stiff Noah was acting, but once he got into the house, and saw what was there for him, his face melted into a smile, and they all relaxed. Nodding her head softly, Ravenna pushed the plate toward Noah, and gestured to them. "Well, theyre whats left if you want to claim them thats fine." Giggling softly, she sat dawn between Moni and Noah.

Moni seemed eager, knowing she was going to surprise Noah with how well she had already memorized the house. Ravenna watched as Noah snorfed down a cookie, then said softly, "Hey Moni... Didnt you leave something up in your room? Shouldnt you go and get that?" Noah seemed confused as the young girl stood, grinning like never before, and walked out of the room. Placing a hand on his, she whispered "Just wait..." And together they listened for the footsteps returning.

It wasnt much later that she came down with a hairbrush in her hand. One that had clearly been in her bathroom. "Ravenna said she could braid my hair before I left. But it was too knotted before. And it looks better brushed out" The girl explained.

[Lotus]

Noah could barely eat another cookie when Moni got up and started walking up to her room on her own. If it wasn't for Ravenna telling him to wait he would be up and after her to make sure she was okay. He couldn't bare to let anything happen to her, even if he knew it was babying her. When she came downstairs, his mouth dropped down in awe at his younger sister. "How...?" He whispered, "What?" Then he suddenly stood up and rushed over to Moni, pulling her into his arms. "You are okay aren't you? You didn't bump into anything?" He pulled back and looked her over, relaxing a little when he didn't see anything wrong.

Moni wriggled out of his grasp giggling and he heard Ravenna giggling too. He looked between the two of them and scratched the back of his neck. "What's going on?" He had never taught his sister how to move around his home because he liked looking after her. She had freedom, but he just liked to look after her because she was so independent at their family home. Had he been doing the wrong thing this whole time? If so, then why did she keep so quiet about it? He sunk back down into his chair and looked at his little sister with sad eyes, "Why did you never tell me you knew how to get around on your own...?"

[Cham]

Moni could hardly stop laughing, and Ravenna covered her smile with her hand at the gobsmacked look Noah was giving the pair of them. "I taught her. Just the basics, we didnt go snooping of course." Sticking her tongue out at him "I wanted her to feel like she was at home. Not like she couldnt recognize where she was going. Besides. Shes a big girl"

The child puffed out her chest, and held her chin high, cracking a joke "I can even do it with my eyes closed. Can youuuuuuuu Noah?" Ravenna snorted in laughter, clamping her hand over her mouth, knowing it was a touchy subject for him.

Once she gained control over herself, she patted his hand softly "She wanted to learn Noah, she wants to feel more freedom."

[Lotus]

Isaac couldn't form words of his own. She had wanted to learn all of this time, yet she couldn't ask her big brother but could let Ravenna do it for her. He shook his head softly, not answering Moni's question because it made his heart stutter in pain. "I..." He ran a hand over his face and sighed. "I know she does. But you're also my little sister Moni. I know you have to be independent at home 'cause our parents pretty much don't give a toss so I only wanted to baby you while you were here. I just don't understand why you couldn't ask me. If you can ask Ravenna, a girl you've just met, and not a brother you've known you're whole life then I... I just don't know." He stood up suddenly and pushed the cookies away from him. His temper had come back again and he needed to cool off. But this time it was more than his temper. He felt hurt too, more than he had done in a long time.

"I'm going to take a shower and clean up. Then I'll take you both home, not unless you want to learn to that as well now." He knew it was snappy and it probably wasn't a wise thing to say, but it came out anyway. And with that he stormed out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his room. He grabbed a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

[Cham]

Ravenna was shocked. What the hell was she getting herself into..? Even Moni looked stunned at this performance. Taking her hand softly, she led her up to her room. "Just stay here for a little bit. We will come and get you when its all sorted out. Just let me talk to him.

Moving across the hall, she opened the bedroom door to find it empty. Her heart broke a little, and she heard the shower starting up. Getting an idea, she opened the bathroom door, cheeks flaring red a little. Silently, she slipped in, seeing the clothes stripped off and thrown into the hamper. Fresh ones on the counter. The frosted glass hiding the necessary skin of Noah.

"Babe?" She asked quietly, not answer "Babe." Louder this time, seeing his head turn towards her "Are you really angry with us? Or is it just her growing up..?"

He didnt answer, and she assumed he was upset with her. Maybe he just needed to relax... Taking a deep breath, and gathering up her courage, she stripped down. Waiting until she saw his back facing her, then slipped in behind him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, and kissing his shoulder "Im sorry baby" She murmured.

[Lotus]

Noah couldn't find words to tell Ravenna and especially seeing as she was in his bathroom while he was stark naked wasn't exactly a good thing either. How was he supposed to tell her everything about him and Moni when he'd only ever talked to her once, and that was yesterday. They didn't know each other, and he was finding it incredibly difficult to let someone in like Moni wanted him to do.

Instead he turned away from her and carried on with his shower, half expecting her to just get up and leave. His body tensed when he felt arms wrap around his waist, but then he realised what the person was wearing. Ravenna was wearing nothing and it took a lot for Noah to swallow and he removed her hands from his waist. He turned around and shook his head, pushing her out of the shower. "Don't..." His voice sounded weak, and he hated sounding weak. "You have nothing to apologise for. I'm not made at you or Moni, so let's leave it at that okay?" There was a slight tremor in his voice but he tried to not let it show through too much as he turned back around in the shower.

"I'm... I'm happy she's taken such a liking to you that she trusts you so much."

[Cham]

Ravenna shook her head softly as Noah started to push her away. Looking up at his face, and trying not to think about her nakedness, she refused to move. Standing out of the stream of water, watching him turn form her again "Noah. If we want this to work out. You have to talk to me. Otherwise I might as well just leave now, and not come back. Because relationships dont work If only one person is putting into it."

He didnt seem to hear her, and she touched his arm, and pulled him back to look at her. Hands slipping up his arms, gripping his face inbetween her hands. "Baby, I want this to work... More than Ive ever wanted anything before" His eyes held so much pain, and that hurt her. "I want this relationship." she let her hands fall to his chest. Just over his heart. "I want this." brushing her oposite hand to push a lock of hair from his eyes, and touch his temple, "I want that too" A blush crept across her cheeks. "Right now I definitely want this..." Letting both her hands run along the lines of his muscles. His chest and his abs. But not moving any further down.

[Lotus]

Noah tensed up all over again and tried to take a step backwards, but his back just hit the wall of the shower. He swallowed deeply and tried to keep the player side of him at bay that would just take Ravenna there and then, but he couldn't do that. He couldn't do that to her just to get rid of the temper he was in; no matter how she was touching him. "You might want it, but I can't let you in." He sighed and put his hands on her shoulders, pushing her away slightly. "I haven't let anyone in other than Moni for over six years. So, I may be the worst kind of person, but you can't expect me to let a girl in that I've only spoken to once. However much I want the girl I've always wanted..."

He trailed off after realising what he'd just spoken. He cleared his throat and turned off the shower, pushing Ravenna away from him. He walked out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist, but when he turned around he forget the majority of his thoughts. His eyes were met with a sight he'd wanted to see for years and she was there, in all her naked glory, in the worst possible scenario. He sighed as his eyes trailed over her body, before he finally looked back up to her. "I should get dressed and take Moni home..."

[Cham]

Ravenna couldnt help but let a smile slip across her lips as he admitted that he had wanted her for years. But despite that, he pushed past her, leaving her dripping in the shower, alone. Head hanging, she missed his glance back. The want in his eyes. Only heard his whisper. Allowing the grin to creep back as he only mentioned taking Moni home. She would need fresh clothes though... she couldnt live with him now anyways. They clearly needed a little breathing space.

But she wasnt leaving without getting some. Biting her lower lip, she moved out of the shower, closing the frosted glass door, and walking up behind him once again. Quickly slipping her arms around and undoing the knot that hid him from her. She slipped the towel off, and moved away. A flirty smile on her face as she flipped her hair down, and wrapped the towel around her head, turban style.

"Your not the only one who can act the player part..." She murmured as she walked back up to him, eyes taunting and body wanting. "Please... I want this too..."

[Lotus]

Noah took a deep steadying breath as he looked down at Ravenna. She was closer now and the steam from the shower wasn't clouding any of her. She was there; so close, and his eyes couldn't help but trail all over her luscious body. He gulped again as he felt the feeling down below and he turned away from her a little bit, hanging his head a lower. "Ravenna... Don't do this." He breathed out and ran a hand over his face. He turned his head over his shoulder to look at her before flickering his eyes back to the door.

He was undecided. He had no clue what to do. Everything was telling him to go to her and take what they both wanted, but at the same time everything was telling him to walk away to save the relationship they could have. He didn't want his player ways getting in the way and he didn't want to use this as a way to get rid of his temper. He sighed, looking back to the door. He'd made up his mind. In one swift motion he locked the bathroom door, wrapped his arms around Ravenna's waist and brought their body's close together. He groaned at the feeling of her body pressed against his and he closed his eyes, breathing in deeply.

Then he realised what he was doing and took a step away from her, releasing his hold. It was killing him being this undecided and it wasn't fair to taunt both their body's in this way. "Damn it." He growled before he quickly crushed their body's together and his lips melded against hers dominantly. He kissed her deeply, his tongue slipping into her awaiting mouth and he groaned a little again. He pulled away a little breathless and sighed, "Please tell me this won't be your first time."

[Cham]

Ravenna felt so confused. She was ready. She wanted this. But he would grab her, and she would soar higher. Then he would push her away, and she would crash to the ground. Her body needy, and unskilled against his learned self. His kiss was intoxicating. His arms wrapped around her waist, but fingertips softly stroking her skin. It almost tickled. Though, once his tongue moved into her mouth, all other thought was obliterated. This had to happen. Now.

"I cant tell you that... But i cant tell you that this is my decision to do this right now. Your not forcing me into anything... Please" Almost a whimper at this point. Desire flooding through her, heating her blood, sending it pounding through her body. "Please Noah... I need you... I want you"

[Lotus]

Noah groaned and growled at the same time as he brought he body closer to him, removing the towel from her hair and leaning down to nibble on her ear lobe. He stopped and caught his breath before whispering in her ear, "Tell me Ravenna. I need to know. I can't use you to get rid of my temper if this is your first time." He sighed and pulled back, resting his forehead against hers. He looked into her eyes and groaned again when he saw the determination not to tell him. "Tell me Ravenna. Now!" He hadn't meant to come across as dominating and angry, but he had and he suddenly released her, stumbling back to his body his a wall in the bathroom.

He ran a hand over his face and sighed, "I may want this. You may want this. But I can't if this is your first. You have to understand that I can't do that to you if it is. I can't take that away from you..." he trailed off and looked into her eyes before his eyes slowly travelled down her body. He wanted her. He needed her. But he wouldn't if it was her first. "I need the truth about this."

[Cham]

Ravenna thought, not wanting to tell him. Body quivering as he stumbled from her. Even he seemed to need some sort of stability. Panting softly, she brought her hands up to her lips, feeling them slightly bruised. But loving it as she ran her tongue across them. "Yes it is." She watched him groan "Noah, listen to me" She moved closer to him, tipping his chin up to look at her. "We can make this work. Understood?"

An idea popped into her head, and she took his hand. Unlocking the door, and peeking out before scampering across the bedroom and locking that door. Returning to Noah to take his hand and lead him to the bed. Sitting him down before moving to the other side. She sat behind him on her knees, pulling him back to her. Arms over his shoulders as she kissed behind his ear tenderly, trying to drain his mind and body of anger, and fill it with sweetness. A hand resting over his heart, feeling it slow down somewhat. "Please trust my baby" She groaned into his ear before kissing down his jaw, onto his neck.

[Lotus]

Noah couldn't help but groan when she told him the truth, but she seemed to have an idea. He didn't want to do this to her, not when he was so angry after his day. He couldn't do such a thing to her. His days of being a player and having his way whatever mood he was in were over. He had Ravenna in his sights and he'd do anything to keep her there.

He sat down on the bed and wondered what the hell she was doing when she sat behind him, but her kisses were gentle and he felt his shoulders relax a little as she kissed down them after coming from his jaw and neck. She trailed back up and Noah finally let out a sigh of relief. He reached up one of his hands and grasped the hand that was lying over his heart. He titled his head back when she started kissing his neck again and he let out a sigh of yet more relief. "I do trust you..." He whispered. He closed his eyes and sighed.

He titled his head back up and turned round to look at her, watching the emotions that flashed through her eyes. "What's this for?" He knew she was trying to relax him, but if she wanted more after that he didn't know if he could. It was her virginity and he wasn't sure if she'd regret giving it to him.

[Cham]

He asked, and she had to tell him. Had to make sure she knew she trusted him as well. "You dont want to take me and use me right? Well your not using me if were not fucking" He seemed conflicted. Part of him wanting it, the other part not. She moved to the side so she could kiss his lips. Taking control of the situation for only a moment. Pulling back, and running her nose along his "Were making love..." She whispered tenderly

Closing her eyes and grinning softly. He seemed somewhat relieved, but still apprehensionable. "Please Noah... I want this" Opening her eyes to look deeply into his "I want this just as much, if not more than you. Its my decision."

[Lotus]

Noah didn't know. He sighed as he looked into Ravenna's eyes. He knew how much he wanted her, heck he'd wanted her for a long time. He leant forward a little bit just so their lips were barely touching as he looked deep into her eyes and nodded his head, "Okay..." He whispered. Then he pressed his lips against her slowly and softly, trying to show her how he could be rather than how his ways were known. He wanted to show her he could love her and not just have sex with her.

He pulled back, resting his forehead against hers and his hands cupping her neck. "Just promise me something." It was painful to say it, but he had to make sure of things first. He saw her nod softly and he took a deep breath. "You've told me you want this just as much as I do, but just promise me that you're not going to regret it; that you're not going to regret letting me take your virginity." He kissed her lips softly and pulled away again. "And promise me, that if any sign of my former ways comes to light you stop me. I want to do this right. I want to do this for you." He sighed as he closed his eyes, trying to calm his raging emotions towards this girl. "Please?"

[Cham]

Ravenna grinned softly as he began to kiss her tenderly. His hands moving tenderly in her hair. But it stopped, and she shut her eyes, trying to hold down the frustration her body was feeling. But after a slow, deep breath, and his explanation, she nodded her head, slight anger forgotten. "I could never regret this" She murmured against his lips "And i love every part of you regardless of what you may think of yourself"

Her eyes widened after a half of a second. Had she really just said that? Would he realize it? How was he going to react??? LOVE??? What was this???

"Im sorry" she whispered "I just skrewed this up didnt I? Hell, why do I alwyas fuck this shit up???" Sitting up, she gave him an apologetic look, moving to the bathroom, and picking up her clothes. Sure that this wasnt the sort of relationship he wanted. A stupid overeager girl begging to be taken.

[Lotus]

Noah hadn't minded the 'L' word. Coming from Ravenna it just seemed so normal and it made him shiver to think that word rolled off her tongue and it was meant to be directed at him. He smiled softly and went to comfort her in saying it was okay she'd said it, but she was up and gone; cursing to herself about everything. With what she had said he wondered how many times she'd try to be with someone before she thought her mouth had gone into overdrive and either she or the other person had walked away. He couldn't imagine anyone walking away from her, no matter what.

He sighed as he heard her in the bathroom. He ran a hand over his face and walked over to his drawers, pulling out a pair of boxers and slipping them on. He went to his wardrobe and took out a clean pair of clothes, seeing as he'd left the other set in the bathroom. He slipped them on; a tight grey, short-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of black wash jeans. He walked out of his room to the bathroom, pushing the door open slightly. He saw Ravenna with her head in her hands and he sighed, walking over to her and kneeling next to her. He placed his hands on her cheeks and forced her to look at him, with a soft smile playing on his lips. "I'm going to take Moni home and leave you here, okay? You need time to calm down and stop the self-hating, because you've done nothing wrong. Besides, I didn't mind the 'L' word slipping from your lips; it sounded real." He smiled and leant up to kiss her nose. "When I come back we'll figure this out together okay? We'll have complete privacy and if you still want it, I'll try to make you feel good properly." He smiled and stood up.

"I don't want to and I'm not going to leave you like any other guy that you've tried to be with 'cause of what you said, okay?" She looked confused and a little hurt but he smiled softly, "I kinda got that from your words. But trust me, you haven't fucked anything up." He grinned and walked out of the bathroom after kissing her lightly on the lips again. He needed to take Moni home, and quick.

[Cham]

Ravenna heard the door creeking open, and she hid herself, waiting to be pushed out of the house. This was her worst nightmare... But no... He understood... He was going to give her time to relax, and calm her down. But he wanted her to stay. Confused, she looked up at him. Yes. She did love him. She loved everything about him. This time when he kissed her, she leaned up into it. "Alright darling. Take your time" She whispered.

Watching him move out, she couldnt help but smile. Looking down at herself. Wearing his clothes. They were baggy, but comfortable. In her haste, she had pulled the shirt on backwards. Rolling her eyes at herself, she flipped it around before making her way downstairs. Kissing Noah gently at the door, and hugging Moni, explaining that she had to make dinner.

They left and she began cooking, assuming she didnt have much time. But finding adequate food to make pasta and garlic bread. Making it quickly, and setting it on the table. When Noah returned, she was lighting a candle in the middle "Welcome home darling" She sad softly.

[Lotus]

Moni didn't mind being taken home early and it was a blessing that she didn't ask Noah any questions. They walked through the streets, him holding her hand to guide the way, but a few metres before they reached their family home he stopped. "Do you want to try on your own Moni?" She smiled up at him and nodded her head. He let go of her hand and sighed as she took the first few steps, getting her bearings. He was always a step behind her just to make sure. Noah couldn't be more proud of his baby sister as she reached the porch of their home. He didn't know if his parents were home, but he knocked anyway. When there was no answer he sighed, unlocking it with the spare key.

He turned to Moni and suddenly wrapped his arms around her tightly. She giggled beneath him and he pulled away, "What was that for?" She gasped out between giggles and Noah scratched the back of his head.

"I miss you. And I'm sorry you couldn't trust me to ask if you could walk on your own. I'll let you from now on, I promise."

Moni sighed and took a step forward, smiling up at him. "I'm sorry I never told you. But that doesn't mean I still don't want to hold my big brothers hand or let him baby me from time to time. I just wanted some independence and it eases up on you too." She smiled and he could see her point.

"I'd never get tired of you lil' munchkin." He chuckled and kissed the top of her head before she walked inside. "I love you Moni. See you soon." Moni reciprocated the words and then the door closed. God he missed his little sister. Then he remembered Ravenna and Noah practically ran through the streets to get back home. He stopped at the front walk and composed himself slightly before walking up and opening the front door.

He smiled when Ravenna greeted him and he wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her lips softly. "Moni walked on her own. I let her..." He whispered before he pulled away and closed the front door. "Now." He walked a little bit forward and saw the dinner she prepared. "You didn't have to do all of this Ravenna."

[Cham]

Ravenna grinned a wide smile "Im proud of you. You can still pamper her, but shes growing up. And you cant change that" He shrugged it off, and lit up when he saw dinner "If course I do darling, I wan to pamper YOU too. You should feel cherished. Mostly because you are. Tomorrow though... Ill have to go to 'work'" She used the quotation marks, and laughed a little.

Being self employed was nice to a point. If she sold her fish, she had no food, but she had money. IF she ate the fish, then she had no money for things she and her sister needed. Although, Mac did contribute to the rent quite a bit... Sometimes more than Ven would like to admit.

Shaking off the thought, she remembered the dinner, gesturing to his chair, and sitting in her own.

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled and took his seat across from her. "No, you didn't have to do this. I should've been the one cooking, or attempting to in my case. I have to work tomorrow too, but I can walk you home whenever you need me to." He looked at her from across the table and smiled softly, loving the small flicker of the candle light across her features. He cleared his throat to get her attention properly and he leant forwards a little. "Are you feeling any better?" He cleared his throat again and looked away, taking a bite of the meal. He closed his eyes and smiled. It was good; more than good.

He opened his eyes and looked back over to her. She looked a little lost in thought so he pushed his chair back and walked over to her, kneeling in front of her. He took hold of her face in his hands and lightly stroked her cheeks with his thumb. "Baby? What's the matter?"

[Cham]

Ravenna hardly heard him, only nodding to his questions and comments. He seemed disturbed as she tried to concentrate on the here and now. But the thought of his touch constantly crept forward. How was she to get there if she wasnt paying attention to him in front of her NOW!!

When his skin brushed against hers, she gasped softly, a shiver running through her as she took his hands, and pushed them away, Trying to look into his eyes, but unable to. The concern he wore was hot... And for her. "Please dont touch me unless... I just mean... Im only saying..." He looked confused, and her cheeks rosed "Im a little uncomfortable right now... And your so. I mean its just..."

Giving up, she covered her face for a second, chuckling at herself "I kindof just want to jump your bones. But I will do my best to have a normal conversation for once" Latching her teeth onto her lower lip. "Oh what you do to me..." she murmured.
