Raya's Secrets (Under Editing)

.19.

"Why? You're the one that said no one would want to know me."
I remark causing a frown to pull at his lips.
"Please, stop bringing that up."
Justin pleads as he glances at me with apologetic eyes.
"I truly am sorry for how I acted when we first met and I really hope that someday you can forgive me."
Justin says in a rather quiet voice.
He really wants my forgiveness?
"Wait, did you just say that you were sorry?"
I ask in mock surprise as I lean over to get a better look at his expression.
"I...yes?"
Justin asks as he raises an eyebrow in confusion.
It wouldn't be any fun if I didn't tease him...
"Say it again, I don't think I quite heard you."
I murmur leaning closer as I raise a hand to my ear as if to hear him better.
I watch as his expression changes from apologetic to an 'are you serious?' Look.
Justin let's out a small sigh as he parks his truck in my driveway before turning to face me.
Justin turns to face me before gently pressing his hand against my cheek as he leans in closer.
"Raya,"
Justin begins, but I remain silent as I stare up at him in confusion.
What is he doing?
"I am so sorry for how I treated you before and I know that I can never make that up to you..."
He says leaning in just a bit closer causing my heart to beat faster and my breathing to become unsteady.
Um...
"But I hope you know that I never meant to hurt you and I hope that someday you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
Justin whispers as his peircing blue gaze meets mine.
When I remain silent he begins to lean forward as his gaze drops down from my eyes to my lips.
"I...I forgive you."
I mumble as I quickly pull away in an effort to regain a clear head.
I glance away as I feel my face flush red from embarrassment.
Was he...?
"So, is this where you live?"
Justin asks glancing at my house.
"Yeah."
For now...
  "Anyway, thanks for the ride."
I murmur as I glance at Justin.
"No problem, but your brother fell asleep."
Justin remarks as his eyes light up in amusement and I glance over to see that James is indeed asleep.
James looks so peacfull when he's sleeping...
It's as if he has not a single worry...
I get out of the truck before opening James's door.
"James, it's time to wake up."
I murmur quietly as I gently brush his hair back from his eyes.
"That's not fair at all."
Justin mutters under his breath and I glance over at him in confusion when I notice a bit of jealousy in his gaze.
"What?"
"My dad always wakes me up by yelling extremely loudly and banging on the door."
Seriously?
I raise an eyebrow in amusement as my lips pull up into a smile.
"Here, let me get him."
Justin says as he gently pulls me out of the way before picking up James.
"No, you really don't have to, Justin."
"I know."
Justin smiles reassuringly before making his way towards the door with me following close behind.
I quickly unlock the door for Justin and he walks in before glancing around in curiousity.
"So, where's James's room?"
Justin asks and I quickly open the door to James's room.
"Here."
I answer and watch as Justin walks into the room before gently laying James down in his bed.
I watch quietly and lean against the doorframe as Justin tucks James beneath his blankets.
"I'm surprised he fell asleep, it's still early."
Justin says quietly as he makes his way over towards me and I shrug my shoulders.
"He's going to be up all night."
I grumble as I turn off the lights before closing the door shut behind me.
"Sorry."
Justin says, but his lips pull up into a small smile.
He thinks it's funny...
"You sure look sorry."
I remark in sarcasm as I make my way towards the kitchen with Justin following close behind.
"Want something to drink? I can make coffee."
I suggest causing him to smile and nod in agreement.
"Sure."
He answers as he takes a seat at the kitchen and I quickly grab two mugs from the cabinet.
I quickly pour coffee into both of the cups before handing Justin his cup and taking a seat across from him.
"Hey, wanna play a game?"
I ask grabbing several card and board games from the shelf.
"Sure, how about connect four?"
Justin suggests causing a small smirk to play at my lips.
Oh, this should be fun...
"Wanna make this game a bit more interesting?"
Justin asks as a small smirk pulls at his lips.
Interesting?
"How so?"
I ask leaning forward as I rest my chin in the palm of my hand.
"Whoever wins gets to ask any question they want and the loser has to answer honestly."
Seriously?
"That sounds boring."
I remark as I begin sorting the tiles.
"Oh, come on, Raya."
Justin whines, but I shake my head.
"Nope!"
"But why?"
"Don't even start."
I warn as I lift my gaze to glare at him and he chuckles in response not seeming to take my warning seriously.
"Just play with me, Raya, please?"
Justin continues to beg causing my eyes to narrow in annoyance.
Is he serious? 
When did he become so annoying?
"No."
"Please!"
He's not going to stop is he?
"Alright, fine!"
I mutter letting the irritation leak into my voice.
"Yes!"
He smiles in triumph before dropping the first yellow tile.
Well, this should be fun...
It's not like I'm going to lose or anything....
....

"Do you give up yet?"
I ask as I lean back in my chair before crossing my arms over my chest.
I've already won about twenty eight times, but apparently Justin can't understand the small fact that he lost.
"Never, I will not be beaten!"
He remarks dramatically causing a small smirk to pull at my lips as my eyes dance with amusement.
"Honey, you've already lost."
"Not yet, babe."
Justin winks before turning his attention back to the game.
"How have you not lost?! It's twenty eight to zero!"
I exclaim before a confused frown pulls at my lips.
Wait, did he say babe?
My eyes narrow as I glare at him.
"What is it?"
Justin asks tilting his head to the side in confusion.
"You called me 'babe'."
I answer causing him to chuckle before leaning in closer.
"Then what would you rather I call you?"
He asks meeting my gaze, but I quickly glance away.
"What is going through your mind right now that is causing you to blush?"
Justin asks as he raises an eyebrow in amusement.
"I'm not thinking anything."
I remark, my tone defensive as I cross my arms over my chest.
"I don't believe you."
He smirks causing me to glare.
"You are so annoying."
I grumble under my breath as I get to my feet before making my way towards the living room and plopping down on the couch.
"What are you doing?"
Justin asks as he raises an eyebrow as I pull a fluffy throw blanket over my body.
"Go away."
I mutter into a pillow.
"That's not very nice."
"You're not very nice."
I remark as he sits down on the couch beside me.
Without warning, he pinches my arm causing me to jump as a yelp of surprise leaves my lips.
"Don't do that!"
I order as I punch his arm much harder in response.
"Ow!"
He laughs pulling away as I glare.
Rude!
I can't believe he actually pinched me.
Just to make sure that he understands not to pinch me again, I grab my pillow before throwing it at his face.
"Oof!"
He falls off the couch in surprise only to land on the soft carpet.
"Jeez, Raya."
He mutters looking up at me as I laugh in amusement.
Now that was funny!
As he climbs back onto the couch, I grab the remote before turning on the tv.
I smile when I notice that the Lion King is playing on the screen and I lean back to get comfortable.
"You like Lion King?"
Justin asks and I nod in agreement.
"Yeah, I do."
He lets out a small hum before wrapping his arm around my shoulders as his eyes lock on the screen of the tv.
What is he doing?
"Justin?"
"Yes?"
He asks glancing down at me with a small smile.
"Get your arm off."
"Why?"
He frowns looking a bit disappointed, but he doesn't remove his arm.
"Because."
I answer raising an eyebrow.
I don't need an excuse.
Nor do I have to explain myself.
"Because what?"
Justin asks causing my eyes to narrow in annoyance.
Fine.
"Because I'll break your arm if you don't."
I warn causing him to laugh as if I had just told him a joke.
What's so funny?
  "Awe, we both know you wouldn't-"
I interupt Justin by roughly pinching his arm causing him to jump away with a yelp.
"Ow! Raya! What was that for?!"
He demands as his peircing eyes glare down at me.
"Hush, the movie's starting."
I remark as I wave him to be quiet as the movie begins to play across the screen of the tv.
I lean back against Justin's shoulder in an effort to get comfortable when a sound of surprise leaves his lips.
"You okay?"
I ask glancing back at him in confusion, but he only nods in response.
Very well then...
I turn my attention back to the movie as Justin gently wraps his arm around my shoulders causing a small smile to pull at my lips.
