A World Apart

Thank you Kylee and Maggot 23 for your reviews. Much more brother bonding and Logan bonding to come!!



Chapter 31



Later that night I sat up in my room and dialed Logan\'s number. He picked up quickly and I could tell he was eager to talk to me.



"Hey, how\'d it go?" He asked.



I leaned back on my bed, cradling my phone high enough to reach my ears," Not as bad as I thought. Get this...Robin wants to go on a double date and guess what? My parents want to meet you!"



I could hear him laughing from my statement about double dating with my brother when he asked, “Your parents want to meet me...already?"



"I guess though. Apparently my mom has already met Justin, but both my parents want to meet you. My dad says he wants to meet the \'young man\' I fell for," I said with a little laugh.



"Really? Aw, Rave. That\'s great! When are we going to meet then?" He asked.



"My mom said tomorrow, for dinner-"



"Tomorrow? That\'s really a lot sooner than I thought!" He said.



"Well, if you don\'t want to, then you don\'t have to. I mean we\'ve only been dating for a little while. It is kind of early if you ask me, but-"



"Rave, I\'d love to meet your parents!" He said happily.



"Really?"



"Sure. Why not? It just makes it seem like a real relationship. It\'s weird...we\'re not dating, Rave. We\'re courting - like they did in the olden days!"



"Yeah, I guess you\'re right. Everything\'s going so fast. I hadn\'t expected it to," I said softly.



"Well, you know we can slow down."



I smiled, “I like it this way, though. So, can you come home with me tomorrow after school. We can hang out for a while and then you can eat dinner with us."



"Sounds good. I\'ll see you tomorrow then. Goodnight."



I said goodnight and looked forward to the day ahead. I had never expected the day to go by so slowly, but for some reason, it did. My brothers didn\'t know he was coming home with me, but when Robin found out, he got all excited. Typical.



During my Environment class, Robin jumped into the seat next to me.



"Hey Rave," He greeted me and started getting out his notebook," Are you excited?"



I glanced at him with a raised eyebrow," I think you\'re a little more excited than me."



"Well, you should be! It\'s a big step, Rave. So are you guys like really serious now, or what? I think it\'s so cute. I\'ve only really gotten to talk to Logan that one time at the club. He seems really nice. I think you two make a really nice couple!"



"I was surprised that he had agreed to come over so soon."



Robin laughed, “Did you think he\'d say no? He likes you too much for that. I bet he\'s going to be nervous tonight, though."



"Nervous?"



"Yeah, duh. Meeting mom and dad the first time. It\'s going to be weird having him in our house. He\'s never been in it before-"



"Well...actually he has."



"Rave! Oh my God...I didn\'t think you guys had-"



I blushed deeply," Not at the house…”



“You mean you’ve-”



“Shhhhhh…shush. Not here.”



"Oh. Okay," He responded.



My next class, Composition I, was the last class of the day. It went by really, really slowly. I was trying to write a journal entry, but just couldn\'t get it to sound good. I was too worried about tonight. Finally the instructor told us we were free to leave. I openly sighed and gathered up my things. The rumor around school had died down. Now everyone was just bored with us - just another couple. I was on my way out the door to search for Logan, when I spotted him, just outside the classroom.



He beamed and flashed me an engaging smile. I grinned and went to him.



"So, what are we going to do all afternoon?" He asked and raised an eyebrow.



I shrugged, “I don\'t care. Whatever. We\'ve got a few hours."



"Lets go to your house!" He said happily.



"Why?"



"Well...I want to ride your motorcycle!" He replied.



"You want to ride it?"



"I told you that a while ago," He said and we started walking towards my house, “But I need you to teach me. I don\'t want to run into anything. That probably wouldn\'t look good on my record."



"Probably not," I said with a smile.



We walked side by side on the sidewalk, close, but not holding hands. I was still a little insecure about our relationship, but when we were in private, the intimacy was welcome. We crossed the street, getting closer to my house. Robin and Ren had gone home earlier than us. So, I knew they\'d be home. And, Rhea was out with his new girlfriend, Charlotte.



"Are your parents’ home?" He asked me.



"No. They\'ll work until about three," I replied.



"Hmmm...," He said with a wry grin.



I slapped him lightly on his arm," Don\'t be dirty."



He laughed," I can only be as dirty as you let me."



I walked up the driveway to my house and my boyfriend followed. I opened the door and went inside. I could hear the television on in the family room.



"Raven? Are you home? Your cat threw up in the kitchen again. You need to clean it up," I heard one of the twins say from the kitchen.



I walked in there and saw Robin in his boot cut jeans and strangely, a regular teal t-shirt. He looked relatively normal today. He glanced up at me and smiled.



"Oh hi! I forgot you were coming home with him after school!" Robin said to Logan.



"Yeah, we\'re going to try to find something to do," He replied.



I moved past my brother to stare at the floor where my cat threw up, "Ewe."



"That\'s what I thought," He replied, handing me some paper towels and sanitizer.



I cleaned up the mess quickly and washed my hands.



"I\'m not touching you after that," Logan inquired from behind me.



He was leaning up against the counter with his arms folded.



"Then be it," I replied non-chantingly.



"Aw...well, I think I can get over it pretty quickly," He replied, coming behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.



"Ugh...Logan! Get off me, one of my brother\'s might see," I said, trying to pull away from him.



"Who cares," He muttered near my ear and I felt his lips on my neck, kissing their way up towards my mouth.



I turned around, suddenly forgetting about my family and let my arms roam around his neck. I raked my fingers through his hair and rubbed gently on his ears. I could hear him purring. He kissed me back, exploring my mouth again. I felt his hand roam down to my tail. He pulled a bit and I started purring too, a dull motor sound. Then, I expected him to go back up and kiss me again, but he grabbed onto my ass and squeezed.



"Hey!"



He chuckled, pulling me towards him in a lover\'s embrace. Our bodies were pressed together intimately and he nibbled gently on my bottom lip. Our tongues battled against each other for dominance, but of course, he won. I gave in, letting him ravish my mouth. He briefly rubbed his ears against mine and I returned it, surprised at how the small gesture made me feel complete.



"Aw, how cute!"



I turned quickly and even Logan\'s hands fell off me. Robin and Ren, both, were standing in the door watching us. I wasn\'t sure who had said the words, but I had guessed it was Robin.



"So you guys really are together, huh? Man, I never thought I\'d ever see you kissing another guy, Rave!" Ren said from next to his twin.



I blushed deeply, figuring it was my own fault for giving into Logan, when I knew my brothers were in the other room.



"Well, I just came in to get some water," Robin said, looking for a bottle in the fridge.



"Yeah right," Ren muttered, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe.



"We\'ll leave you guys alone now!" Robin said, grabbing his twin\'s arm and leading Ren out of the room.



I raised an eyebrow at Logan, getting the impression that Robin actually had just wanted to see us. Maybe he had to have some proof of his own that I really was with Logan. I\'m pretty sure he found it. Logan found my hand and pushed me towards the stairs.



"Go get your key. I want to take a ride with you!" He said giddily.



"Okay...okay. Come up with me if you want to," I said in invitation.



"Sure," He replied, following me up the stairs.



I felt him grab a hold of my tail on the way up, but I ignored it, as long as he didn\'t pull. I got up to the floor my room was on and opened the door.



"Well, here\'s my room," I said, ushering him forward.



"I know, Rave," He replied," I was up here two days ago with you, but I forgot to comment on how nice it was."



"Oh...thanks," I said softly and went into my nightstand to find the key to my bike. We went downstairs together and pulled my bike out of the garage again. I let Logan get on first and then I got on behind me.



"Different being back here," I said in a breathy voice.



"I like being up here, in control, but I like being behind, too. I kind of felt like I was protecting you, being on the back," He said, putting the key in the ignition.



I wrapped my arms around his arm body and he questioned me," What do I do now?"



I laughed, letting my head fall onto his shoulder. I pointed towards the controls of the bike," Push that button...there. It\'s kind of like the gas."



He did what I told him and we went off slowly, and then faster as he got used to it. He found the brake easily, right next to it for when we stopped at the only light in town. He was having a blast. I could tell. It was my opportunity to be able to look around, instead of focusing on the road. I really did like living here in Kingsdale. It was a beautiful town. He had stopped suddenly at a stop sign, and I had slid against him roughly.



"Sorry," He said with a cute guilty look," I wasn\'t sure when to brake."



I smiled and pushed myself back a little," It\'s okay. We\'d better get back soon, though. I don\'t have a whole lot of gas in this thing."



He nodded and returned back to the house.
