Got a problem with me? (CAM)

[Cham]

Ravenna unconsciously tightened her grip on her glass as Noah began to speak. He seemed nervous, and she tried to calm him, taking her trembling hand and setting it on his as he hesitated. But when Mac said that so proudly and confidently, her entire body stiffened. She continued on telling the several times that they had hooked up, and Ven just felt her temper rising and rising. Strangely enough, so did her emotion. Blinking over and over to force back the feeling of tears brimming on her eyelids.

Luckily not one fell. But after the third supposed meeting, Ravenna had enough. Exploding as she found out that this time they had hooked up in Mac's room of Ven's house. What made it worse was she remembered that night. It had been her birthday. Mac had blown her off for some guy who was apparently amazing. But Ven never got the chance to meet him. winding her hand back, she stood up and threw her glass at the wall. It shattered, Rose coloured champagne splashing onto the carpet and wall. Storming into her room, she grabbed her leather jacket, and her rucksack that had a change of clothes, and marched out the front door shoving into Noah, and Mac's shoulders as they tried to stop her.

She made her way down the street, checking behind her to make sure she wasnt followed as she weaved through the alleyways. When she felt the anger leave her, she looked down to see paw prints in the sand. Looking around, she found her surroundings familiar. A story written in the sand. Noah's footprints and her own were so close...

The tears released now. Her body ached from the physical exertion, and as did her heart. Wrapping her arms around her knees, she sobbed hard until her voice gave out. High pitched squeaks on her inhales.

[Lotus]

Noah kept want Mac to shut up, but she just kept bragging about it. He felt himself sinking further and further into the couch. When Ravenna stood up and smashed her glass he saw the pain on her face. In turn that made him angry at himself, at Mac and hurt that she was hurting. He crushed his own glass in his hands when he saw her storm out of the room. When she came back out he tried to stop her, as well as Mac, but she just stormed past him.

He ran a hand over his face in exasperation and groaned. "God damnit!"

"Oh, baby. Don't worry about her, she's being silly. You don't need her, she's nothing compared to me in bed. Why don't you come with me and I can make you feel better?" Mac's hands were all over him again and he pushed her away.

"No, I won't. I'm going to find her. She's my everything." With that he stormed out of the house in search for her. He was walking for hours before he ended up at the beach and he wandered along the shoreline with his hands in his pockets and his head down. He couldn't help but think of the first time he properly talked to Ravenna hear, and now he'd messed it all up. He looked up briefly to see a shadow sitting further up the beach so he approach, slowly. "Ravenna...?"

[Cham]

Ravenna began to shiver at one point. Feeling exhausted and drained. Wondering where she was supposed to go. Noah wouldnt have her after that spectical. And did she really want him now? Those things Mac had said were dirty and nasty. But then again, she was definitly in love with the tender side of him. But she had given him the one thing she could never get back. The one gift that meant the world to her. Something she had always prided herself on with being the 'bad girl' And now she had nothing to show for it...

A soft voice spoke her name, and she felt her body clench in fear. But it had to be someone she really knew. No guy had ever approached her when she wore her leather. But this person came right up to her, knelt in the sand. She could hear his breathing, and it was familiar and calming. After a time, she lifted her head to see Noah. And her heart crumbled. He looked so pathetic. So concerned and worried over what? Her??

Snuffling, she took his hand and pulling him down to sit with her, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Baby... I can handle your past. Honestly, I can. I love you because despite all of that shit, your still wonderful to people you care about." Wiping her eyes on her hand, she closed them and took a deep breath "But when i knew who the girl was. When i knew she was my Mother fucking sister. I just... I couldnt handle that..." Ven shook her head softly "Stupid whore... Thats what she is. Funnily enough, shes brilliant. She just doesnt use the brains God gave her"

Noah listened patiently as she went on, explaining what had happened "Baby, I want this." Curling her fists tight in a display of determination. "I want this to work out... I just didnt know how..." She chuckled softly as she realized what it all was "How jealous i could get" Moving her head up, she took his face in her hands and kissed his nose softly, leaning her forehead against his "I still love you. And i dont think that will ever change."

[Lotus]

Noah listened to her patiently, letting her get out everything she needed and wanted to say. It was safe to say he was shocked at the way she was talking to him. He thought she'd yell and accuse him of things, but she just sounded disappointed; and in a way, that hurt more. He looked into her eyes when she rested her forehead against his and he sighed. "I'm so sorry Ravenna."

He moved his head away then and ran a hand over it before wrapping his arms around her. "I never wanted you to find out this way. I know you knew that's who I was, and I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed I did that to your sister. I'm ashamed I've taken other girl's virginities as well. I'm ashamed of my whole life, but then you came along and you made me feel better. You changed me and made me realise I didn't need to be a player." He pounded the sand with his fist and then finally looked down at her.

"If I could I've change my past so you weren't disappointed in me or at least change what I did and kept doing to Mac." He wrapped his arms tighter around her and buried his head in the crook of her neck. "Just say you'll forgive me 'cause you're the one that's made me learn to love."

[Cham]

Ravenna held tightly to Noah as he spoke of regret. But when he grabbed her, she moved, straddling his lap as they clung to each other. "I forgive you darling" she murmured, kissing his neck softly. Her arms shaking around him, but her grip remained firm.

After a time, her tender hand began to stroak his head, running through his hair, trying to calm him. But he only held to her tighter. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she rested her head on his shoulder. Exhausted from the long, full day. Tomorrow perhaps they could just rest...

[Lotus]

Noah couldn't believe what he had just heard, "You do?" He croaked out and he couldn't help but feel a little better when he saw the slight nod of her head. His arms wrapped tighter around her and he took a deep breath, calming himself with the knowledge that Ravenna didn't hate him. He felt her hand in his hair and he let out a long sigh and his arms tightened even more.

Eventually he pulled back, moving his hands to cup her face. "It'll only ever be you." Then he leant forward and kissed her softly on the lips before resting his forehead against hers.

[Cham]

Ravenna completely melted when he kissed her so tenderly. Feeling so intimately close to him. "Of course I do" She murmured. Eyes blinking slowly until she closed her eyes altogether, breathing slowly, at peace with the situation. "Take me home Noah."

She felt him rising, but clung to him, her legs wrapped around his torso. Wondering if he would take her to his home, the one they would forge together, or her own. That could be a problem... Mac was likely still there. She would have to face that one of these days. Or just move out. Find a new apartment. But from the looks of it, without Mac's shared rent, there was no way she could afford it...

[Lotus]

Noah nodded his head and rose, picking Ravenna up on the way. He wrapped his arms tighter around her and kissed her cheek, smiling softly. "Which home do you mean?" He asked softly. He very much doubted if she wanted to go back to his after what she'd found out, but then would it be a good idea to go back to hers after everything Mac had told her. He fumbled a little when she started thinking about it, "Don't worry. I'll take you back to your home. Then you can figure things out with Mac and be okay again. I don't want to get in the way." He smiled softly, even though he felt a little disappointed.

He carried on walking, ignoring the looks from anyone wandering the district. Some of the girls he'd been with tried to come up to him, but he just glared at them and made it obvious who he was with. He was with the bad girl. The bad boy and the bad girl were together, so they'd better stay away.

[Cham]

Ven closed her eyes as he started to carry her back. But her stomach dropped, and a few minutes later she stopped him. When she looked up his face was contorted, eyes squinted harshly at some tramp who was fast approching them. Taking matters into her own hands, she gripped his face, pulling his lips to hers hard. Letting her passion for him show. The girls eyes opened wide, and she cleared out. As did several others.

"When she released him, a glint was back in her eyes "Take us home darling. I can sort out Mac in the morning. I want to spend the night in your arms." this time when she leaned in to kiss him, it was tender and sweet. Her lips asking for forgiveness and patience with her jealousy.

[Lotus]

Noah knew what Ravenna was doing and he kissed her back just as passionately. He gripped her face in his hands and pulled her closer towards him, before wrapping his arms around her waist. He looked at her when she pulled away and nodded his head in agreement. "I'm kinda glad you said that." He whispered softly before kissing her back this time with far less passion, but with love instead.

He pulled back and wrapped his arm around her waist, leaning down to kiss her on the cheek. "Being jealous is kinda a turn on sometimes. Especially when I get that kind of reaction." He smiled, hoping his attempt at making her feel better worked. "C'mon then." He started walking in a different direction, towards his home this time; happy that he got to hold her for her another night.

[Cham]

"It is?" she whispered to him, closing her eyes as he pulled her close to him "So its a turn on when i prove your mine, not when im chucking glass and storming out. Got it..." Giggling softly before biting her lower lip and pulling him forward "Come on baby"

Ven took his arm, feeling like she was being escorted this time instead of led. And Noah's spring was back in his step. It didnt take long to turn the corner and find his house there safe and sound. Waiting for him to unlock the door before Storm shot in, bowling into them. Grateful to find Noah catching her before her knees were knocked from under her.

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled at Ravenna's words and nodded, "But I'll always be there to make you feel better." He smiled softly and kissed her cheek.

They reached his home and it was typical that Storm came bounding to the front door as soon as it was closed. He caught Ravenna before she fell over and he couldn't help but laughing before picking her up so she could stand on her own two feet. "Storm, down!" The dog obeyed immediately before trotting off to do his own thing. "Now, did you want a drink to calm down?"

[Cham]

Ven shook her head softly "Honestly I could just use some sleep... And you if your up for it" Biting her lower lip, she couldnt seem to explain why she wanted what she wanted. But doing those things with him somehow solidified everything. It made her feel like he really truely wanted her, heart, mind and soul.

He looked slightly uncomfortable, and she turned from him, smiling and giggling as she made her way upstairs. "Catch me if you can!" She shouted down to him.

[Lotus]

Noah was about to nod his head before she said the second part and for some reason he froze up. His face contorted slightly and he couldn't understand why she wanted him after everything she'd heard just mere hours ago. He managed a smile though when she started giggling and ran off with the call behind her. He sighed and made his way up the stairs, rather sluggish at the prospect of doing something to her that she didn't really want.

He found her in the bedroom and he smiled softly. "Seems I was too slow for you. Shame." He forced his famous smirk to his lips and he saw the way she was looking at him but he couldn't allow it to happen. It wasn't right for them to do such a thing after what she'd found out. He didn't want to have her regret it this time when she really thought about it. He moved over to her and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Do you need a shirt again?"

[Cham]

Ravenna was sitting on the corner of the bed by the time he came up. Legs crossed, and a sexy glint in her eye. But when he made no move toward her, she gave it up. Nodding softly at the shirt. Standing and fetching one herself before stripping down infront of him, and slipping into it. Sitting on 'her' side of the bed when she was finished.

She watched as he slowly moved, almost like his whole body was sore. When he plopped down next to her, she grinned at him, wrapping her arms around his chest and laying her head on his shoulder. Pressing a soft kiss into his neck "Are you alright baby?" She mumured.

[Lotus]

Noah watched as she got dressed and couldn't help but berate himself over what he'd done in his past. His past could corrupt the future he had with this beautiful creature in front of him. When she sat back down and wrapped her arms around him he shifted a little, looking down at his hands in his lap. He nodded his head before realising it was pointless to lie, so he quickly changed it to shaking his head. He brushed her arms off him and stood up, walking towards his wardrobe. He slipped off his shirt and trouser, leaving him in just his boxers.

He went back and sat on the bed, where Ravenna was sitting there expectantly. "I don't want to do this to you Ravenna. I can't... My past is going to ruin everything." He sighed and held his head in his hands, his fingers gripping on to his hair.

[Cham]

Ravenna grabbed a pillow and cuddled into it when Noah shrugged out of her grasp. Little pools of tears hidden behind her lashes seeped into the pillow. He didnt want her... she wasnt good. Hell, it was her first time. He really wasnt going to have sex with her again? Wow... She mustve been terrible...

But then all of the sudden he was apologizing to her. She pushed the pillow away, and walked slowly towards him. His eyes looked rabid and wide, hiding them when he pulled on his hair. But tenderly she released his hands, pulling his head onto her shoulder. Letting her fingers move into his hair. Stroking it consolingly.

They stood like this for a few minutes as she let him calm down "Noah..." Her whisper was a soft caress of his name, "Darling, you have done nothing wrong. It wasnt your fault. You were oblivious. How could you have known those choices would affect you in the long run."

She pulled his head up to look at her now, a soft, chaste kiss on his lips "Besides, i guarantee you that if i wasnt in for the long haul, i would not be standing here."

[Lotus]

Noah listened to her words and sighed. He couldn't believe he'd been lucky enough to get someone that wanted to stick around with what he was used to doing. He looked into her eyes and swallowed over the lump in her throat. "But, I knew deep down I was just sifting through to find the right girl that would make me commit. I should've stopped the player act a long time ago when I realised it was you I wanted. I couldn't though, I was so caught up in it all and I didn't have you then."

He watched the emotions flash through her eyes and then in a split second Noah had her face cupped in his hands and he'd crushed his lips to hers. The kiss was full of hunger and need, but there was the hint of love there that he felt for Ravenna. He pulled away a little breathless and rested his forehead against hers. "I will never get enough of you." He breathed out softly.

[Cham]

Ven's eyes were filled with compassion and hurt. Love for him and knowing how hard this was going to be on him, compassion for the struggle he was facing internally, and anguish for feeling as though she should have done something earlier.

He paused and she barily murmured out "You will never be caught up in that world again" Before he pulled her lips to his. They felt a little tender, almost bruised, but she didnt care, kissing him back with everything she had. Her fingers were clenching his biceps as his hands caressed her face. His words were soft, but her eyes blinked in exhaustion "Noah..." She whispered, leaning forward and pressing an ernest, but chaste kiss to his lips "Baby, you will never have to wonder if you can get enough. Im here for you. Forever."

She pulled away from him, and took his hand, pulling him to the bed. Flipping back the covers and pushing his shoulders to lay him down before straddling his torso, wondering if he was going to take charge or not. Deciding she wouldnt push him, she slipped onto the other side and pulled the covers up to their chins. Kissing him again before wrapping an arm over his chest, pulling him close and tucking her head into his shoulder "I love you Noah"

[Lotus]

Noah watched her actions with caution, fighting with himself to not do anything to her or take anything to far. When she straddled him it was like a battle raging within him to keep his hands to himself; she was just too tempting. When she, instead, snuggled up to the side of him he felt himself relax a fair amount. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and nuzzled his nose into her hair, taking a deep breath. "This will be the first time I've had a girl in my bed and not done the deed with her." He said softly, hoping it was the start at proving he wasn't going to let his past affect him.

He reached out a hand and titled her chin up to face him. "I'm pretty sure I love you too." Then he crashed his lips to hers, rolling over till he was over her and his weight resting on his hands. He pulled away and stroked her cheek, "I really think I am."

[Cham]

"Get that out of your head, because I stayed last night, and technically we didnt do it last night. That was this afternoon" Chuckling, she looked up to him and saw a glowing look in his eyes, his fingers so tender on her chin, tipping her head up before his lips once again molded into hers.

Noah surprised her though when he moved atop her. Once again in the sexiest position in the world. Dangling over her, his arms bulging with muscles that rippled down into his chest. Ven's hands moved up to his neck, and pulled his body down to hers. Her breathing picked up, and her eyes dilated in anticipation. A small smile flashing across her cheeks. "Really?" She whispered, biting her lower lip before pulling his mouth back to hers in a passion filled kiss.

[Lotus]

Noah had to wait till their kiss ended and he'd caught his breath back before he could answer her. He grinned down at her, feeling more at ease before nodding his head. "Really, really. Never have I felt this way before." He leant down and kissed her softly on the lips this time, trailing his hands quickly down her body; smiling softly in delight.

He slowly rolled back off of her, remembering what he'd been arguing with himself about. He kissed her cheek, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. "Didn't you say you were tired baby?"

[Cham]

Ravenna was breathing quickly when he pulled away from her lips. A small pang of dissapointment flooded her that she quickly quashed. Desire pulsing through her veins "I was... Not so much anymore. But I suppose we really should sleep. Weve both got a busy day tomorrow huh?"

She felt Noah pulled her to him, and she complied. Finding that comfortable spot quicker than the first time as she wrapped herself like ivy around him. "Goodnight my love" she murmured into his neck as she closed her eyes and let her body settle in. Calming down. It didnt take long for her her drift away...


But her sleep was not peaceful. It began so, Noah greeting her at the front door. It had apparently been a chilly day as he took her coat and kissed her. Hugging and rubbing her arms until she felt pinpricks of warmth in her again. He brought her inside to see the small, but romantic gesture, a candle lit table with a small vase of roses in the middle of two plates of food. They sat and laughed, fed each other small bits in between topics. Just generally enjoying each others company. But the conversation became heated and it didnt take long for them to move upstairs into his bedroom. They decided on shower sex, and she got up to go turn it on. But when she walked back into the bedroom, Noah and Mac lay there on the bed post coital.

In a panic, she began screaming, throwing things at the pair of them. Glass flew, and she felt as though her heart may very well burst out of her chest. But all of the sudden she was woken by a shout. Somehow her screams and franticness had made their way out of the world of dreams, and she found her throat burning and dry. Limbs exhausted from writhing about. She sat up and without realizing it, slammed her forehead into Noah.

"Holy Mother of Fucking God!" she screamed out, curling up on the bed and holding her hands to her face, the pounding pain radiating from her forehead behind her eyes. Making them feel as they were about to explode. Everything was silent for a moment before she was now flooded with a different emotion. Lust and jealousy...

Without a glance to the clock, she turned to look at Noah who looked absolutely stunned. Reaching out, she thought she shocked him on another level when she jumped at him. Straddling his torso, pushing his shoulders down. She then leaned down, kissing him with a passion they had not yet breached. Her lips in sync with his. Hands moving from his sculpted shoulders into his hair, tugging softly yet sensually.

When she finally pulled back, she kept her hips against his, pressing him down into the bed "You are mine Noah... Tell me youre mine... And let me take you" Closing her dilated, now not in fear, but in lust eyes. Breath quick and heady.

[Lotus]

Noah's dreams weren't peaceful, but they were fitful either; he was just restless as his body was not allowed to fully rest. The only thing helping him rest as much as he was was Ravenna in his arms and her body tight up against him. That was the reason why when she started fidgeting a lot in her sleep, Noah woke up. He looked down at her to try and gage what was happening to her, but before he could decide and figure out his actions she bolted awake with her forehead hitting his chin. He snapped his head back and looked back down at Ravenna with shock clearly expressed across his face. "What the hell?" He whispered and then she did something completely unexpected.

With her straddling his hips, he kissed her back with the force and passion she was emitting to him, but at the back of his mind he wondered what triggered it. He barely had a chance to understand what was going on before she spoke and it was safe to say he had never expected those words to come out of her mouth. When she pulled back, but kept straddling him; pushing him into the bed, his body started to betray him. He could feel himself stiffen and he knew she could definitely feel what his body was doing. He looked up to her, but she had her eyes closed. He couldn't allow this without understanding what had happened to cause this.

He reached up his hands and cupped her cheeks, stroking his thumbs across her cheek bones. "I'm yours; of course I am. But..." Her eyes flew open at that point and he sighed. "Let me finish. But, I just want to know what's going on. What caused all this?" He looked into her eyes trying to find what had happened, but nothing came to light. "Please, explain this. As much as I love the thought of letting you take me, and you know what that thoughts doing to me, I can't. This isn't like you Ven." He sighed. "I meant, Ravenna. Sorry." He'd heard Mac briefly call her Ven before and people from their school call her it in the corridors, but he didn't know if it was something special to her. Besides, her full name was beautiful.

[Cham]

Ven shook her head, not even noticing that he hadnt called her by her full name until he corrected himself. A small amount of pride bloomed in her heart, and she lay down atop of him, her body parallel to his with the acception of her arms still in his hair

"Please dont Noah... I just need to know that youre mine. No one elses" Her voice choked up, and she could feel a lump forming in her throat. But now was not the time, "Darling please..." Her body seemed to go limp as the anxiety and rush left her body. Relaxing with her forehead against his, and arms wrapping around his neck.
