He had, what, fallen for her in less than a day? It seemed impossible, but here it was, looking at her straight in the face.
After admiting what could've been a total mind-blower for him, he confirmed his feelings with a kiss, holding her tightly.
There seemed to be no rationality behind it all, with it all happening so fast. But Raven knew, very well, that love had no rules, no sense of timming. He fired her temper, as well as her passion, seemingly being able to have her feel both at the same time.
But yet, she knew what she felt was the same as his.
"You know, Zerxes?" Raven asked, testing his name on her lips, allowing a pause as she relished the sound of it on her tongue,"I love you as much as I hate you, and it drives me up the wall. I don't even know how you manage to do that."
The last time someone admitted to her that he loved her, she hesitated in her reply for several months. This time, Raven wasn't going to do that. She didn't want any one person to be left wondering what she felt. Having him know the truth, would eliminate alot of anxieties if she left him wondering.
