Raven's POV:

I was sitting on the couch watching tv when Alan walked in. His arms were full of shopping bags, so I got up to help him. "Hey, did you have a nice morning?" I asked him curiously. "Yes, I did actually. Is that Amanda's things in the yard?" He said with an amused look in his golden brown eyes. "Yes, yes they are." I replied with a wide grin. "She'll be so pissed off." Alan said as a grin spread across his face as well. "That's the desired effect." I replied. I helped him put the groceries away and we sat in the living room watching tv. "Oh god." Alan said suddenly. "What's wrong?" I asked curiously. "Tomorrow's Monday. I don't wanna go back to college, especially not when I have you here all to myself." He said with a goofy grin on his face. "We get an extended weekend this week. Remember? Due to the Autumn Glory festival in town." I said as I moved closer to him. "True, but what about your work?" He replied. "I'm off this week. My boss said that I deserve some time off due to me working some overtime." I said. "Wow. I guess that works out pretty good then." He said as he moved a strand of my hair out of my face. I couldn't help but blush, and I'm sure he noticed it. I shut off the tv and a car pulled into the driveway. "Real mature Alan! Throwing my things out of the house like this!" I heard Amanda yelled loudly. He and I just laughed and watched her gather her things. After a while she left, and Alan really burst out laughing. "Her face was priceless." He said. "I know." I replied with a slight laugh. After a while he and I had lunch and decided to go for a walk in the park. The leaves were almost completely changed and the fall temperatures have settled in. As we walked towards the pond I could hear a few ducks quacks and some splashes. As we got closer I could see two mallard ducks floating around and ducking under the water every once in a while. "It's beautiful....isn't it?" I asked as I took a seat near the edge of the pond. "It is beautiful." Alan said as he sat down as well. A sense of peacefulness settled down over us. The only sounds were the ducks slashing and quacking around the pond, and the breeze rustling the leaves in the trees. I don't think I've been more relaxed in my life to be honest. "Raven, did I ever ask how old you were?" Alan suddenly asked. "Um....if you ever did I can't remember. I'm eighteen by the way." I replied. "Oh." He said. "Why?" I asked after a short moment of silence. "I was just curious, that's all." He replied. The sun started to set and the air started to get cooler, which made me shiver slight. The sky was absolutely beautiful, and the way the water reflected the light made it look even more breathtaking. Everything seemed to have a sort of golden glow from the reddish orange horizon. "Are you cold?" Alan asked curiously. Apparently he saw me shiver. "A little." I replied. "Here." He said as he began to take off his oversized sweatshirt. "No, it's okay Alan. You don't have to get cold just because I am." I said, feeling guilty. "No, it's fine; I usually stay warm anyway." He said. I slipped the sweatshirt on and I relished in the warmth it brought me. I was discreetly breathing in Alan's sweet scent from the shirt; I didn't want him to think I was some kind of weirdo. He suddenly moved closer to me and wrapped one of his arm around me. I involuntarily rested my head on his shoulder. It was like....everything single movement I made when I was close to him was automatic; I didn't have to think to actually do them. I felt him rest his head on mine as he wrapped his other arm around me. I was knew I was blushing, but I didn't care. I felt so safe and he just....feels like home. "Alan." I said softly. He hummed to let me know I had his attention. "I'm glad I have you in my life. Without you....who knows what I'd be doing right now." I said. "I feel the same way." He said as he pulled me closer to him. Everything felt so perfect; I wish we could have stayed in that moment forever, but we had to go back. We ordered a pizza for dinner and got ready for bed. I had a feeling tomorrow would last forever; especially since I didn't have his class on Mondays. I ended up falling in a deep sleep. Next thing I knew I was walking down the hall towards my desktop publishing class. I thought it was odd, because I didn't remember getting up in the morning, or even driving there. Suddenly, a random door on my right opened and I was pulled inside. "What the hell!? Alan! You could have given me a heart attack!" I whisper yelled. "Sorry, I just...miss you." He said with a dark, lustful look in his eyes. "W-what are you doing?" I asked in a nervous voice as he trapped be between the wall and himself. "Doing what I should have done a long time ago." He said in his velvety voice. He tilted his head slightly and leaned in to kiss me......and suddenly....."BEEP! BEEP!BEEP!!!!" I jolted awake, and groaned as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. 'It was just a dream.' I thought to myself as I sleepily got out of bed to get ready for the day. As I replayed the dream in my head I couldn't fight that fact that I wanted Alan to kiss me. The more I thought about it the more I blushed and got butterflies from the idea. 'He'd never kiss you, Raven. He's older than you, and he's still getting over Amanda. Stop thinking of him like that.' I thought it myself as I grabbed my backpack. I walked downstairs and could smell coffee in the kitchen. When I walked in I saw Alan sipping from his mug and looking out of the window. "Good morning." I said as I got myself a cup of coffee. "Hey." He said softly with warmth in his golden brown eyes. He sat his coffee down and pulled me into a hug I could have stayed in forever. Honestly....I think I could have fallen asleep right there in his arms. "How did you sleep?" He asked curiously as he pulled away. "Good. How about you?" I said as I took a drink of my own coffee. "I think that was the best sleep I've gotten in a long time." He replied with one of his adorable smiles. I couldn't help but smile as well, but I didn't just smile physically. When I see him smile it makes my heart smile as well. "I'll miss you today." He said. "I'll miss you too." I replied. "At least we'll see each other after classes today. I might even make an excuse to go to the library just to see you." He said, which made me smile. "You don't have to do that." I said with a laugh. "I know, but I wanna make sure my girl has been having a good day." He said, and I turned scarlet. If he doesn't know how I feel about him it's a miracle, because right now....it was kinda obvious. It's getting harder and harder to hide my feelings from him, and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. When we had breakfast we left the house in separate vehicles. I knew today was going to be one hell of a day, especially if my dream really did come true.
