Raven sat at the breakfast table eating a muffin her dad had
baked the night before. “Oh snap! Dad these muffins are great!”
Victor, Raven’s dad and chef, smiled, “Thanks sweetie.” He
kept mixing a new batch of the apple cinnamon muffins.
Raven’s mom, Tonya, smiled at her daughter, “So are you
coming right home after work or are you, Eddie, and Chelsea going out
somewhere.
Raven was about to answer when she got a vision,
(Raven’s visions)
Raven looked at Eddie, “So Eddie what did you want to talk
about?”
Eddie sighed and
looked around, “Well Rae I’ve been thinking about this since we graduated from
high school and well I think I’ve got some mondo feelings for you.”
(End Vision)
Raven gasped, “OH SNAP!”
Raven’s parents looked at her, “What is it honey did you have
a vision?”
Raven nodded, “Yea I did. I need to go change and get going.”
She practically bounced up the stairs. Finally after all the years of being
friends Eddie was falling love with her.
She almost ran over Cory, “Outta the way!”
Cory finished walking down the stairs, “What’s up with Raven?
She just about killed me.”
Tonya smiled, “I don’t know. She had a vision and then took off
upstairs.”
********
Raven stood in front of her closet and looked over her
clothes. “What am I going to wear?” She pulled outfit after outfit out of her
closet.
She decided on her blue jeans with embroidery on the legs and
her purple long sleeve button down. She always stressed about what to wear but
if Eddie was going to ask her out then she had to look amazing.
Looking at herself in the mirror she glared at herself, “You
know if I had just seen what I was wearing this would have been way easier.”
She pulled her hair up into a ponytail then took it down, “Man I wish I had
time for braids.” She settled for the ponytail.
Raven looked at the clock, “Snap! I’m going to be late for
work.” She grabbed her purse and ran down the stairs. “Can someone give me a
ride to the boutique?”
Victor nodded, “Sure Rae I have to go to the store anyway.”
Tonya called after her daughter, “Rae are you coming home
after work.”
Raven smiled, “No mom I’m not going to hang out with Chelsea
and Eddie.” It took all she had in her not to hop around when she said Eddie’s
name.
Tonya nodded, “Okay.”
***********
5:00 Raven’s quitting time from the boutique:
Raven grabbed her purse, “I’m leaving Janelle.” She picked up
her bags. It never failed every pay day she bought something that just came in
on the truck.
Janelle peeked around the corner from the office, “Bye girl.”
She sighed when she was the bags, “Girl what did you buy now.”
Raven held up her bag, “One of those blue sweaters that came
in today.”
Janelle smiled, “I wondered why you were being over zealous
and pricing everything.”
Raven laughed. She turned when she heard Cameron call her
name. “Yea?”
Cameron smiled, “You friends are out here.”
Raven waved good-bye to her friends and walked outside, “Hey
Chels. Hi Eddie.”
Chelsea smiled, “Hey Rae! What did you buy now?”
Raven pulled out her sweater. “It just came in today.”
Eddie laughed, “You keep working here you won’t have any
money saved.”
Raven smiled. ‘Oh snap! He looks so fine in those jeans and
jersey.’ “I know Eddie but its cool.”
Eddie smiled. ‘Today after we go to the café I’m going to
tell Rae that I’m in love with her.’
Chelsea walked in front of the two. “So how about we go eat
somewhere. I’m starved. I didn’t get to take lunch today.”
***************
Café:
As the trio walked about to the café that Eddie had picked
Raven recognized the outside from her vision. “SNAP!”
Chelsea and Eddie looked at her strange, “What?”
Raven shook her head, “Nothing.”
Eddie looked around and figured this was as good of place as
any to talk to Raven. “Chelsea go on in. Rae and I will be there in a sec.”
Chelsea looked between the two, “What’s going on?”
Eddie shook his head, “Nuttin Chelsea. Just wanna talk to Rae
for a minute.”
Raven was getting nervous Eddie was her friend. What if this
ruined everything? She shook her head it so wouldn’t ruin anything. If anything
it would make it so much better.
Chelsea shrugged and went in to get a table.
Raven looked at Eddie, “So Eddie what did you want to talk
about?”
Eddie sighed and looked around, “Well Rae I’ve been thinking
about this since we graduated from high school and well I think I’ve got some
mondo feelings for you.”
Raven smiled. Those were the exact words from her vision.
“Really?”
Eddie nodded, “Yea Rae. I’ve been feeling like this for a
while.”
Raven smiled, “Me too.”
Eddie smiled and hugged Raven, “So you wanna go out with me?”
Raven nodded and laid her head on Eddie’s shoulder, “Yea!”
Eddie and Raven shared their first kissed in front of that
café.
Eddie smiled and took Raven’s hand. “We better go in before
Chelsea comes out here looking for us.”
The couple walked into the café hand in hand. They sat beside
each other in the booth across from Chelsea. “So what are we going to eat?”
Chelsea sat with her mouth hanging open, “You two are holding
hands! Are you dating?”
Raven nodded, “Yea.”
Chelsea squealed, “Oh my gosh! This is so great. You two so
deserve to be going out! I knew it was going to happen. I was just sitting here
thinking that it would so cool if Eddie asked you out.”
Eddie and Raven looked at each other and smiled. They just
let Chelsea ramble on. They were happy and that’s what mattered.
THE END!
