Raven suddenly had a vague memory of what happened last night while she was looking at herself in the mirror and combing her hair. She shook her head and thought that it was probably just a dream.


She looked at the mark on her shoulder once more and finally was convinced that the thing really happened last night.


She did remember some scenes like Jordan kissing her on the neck and biting her shoulder. Her face suddenly reddened.


Then her mobile phone rings and it was Jordan. She cleared her throat and answered.


She was now hesitating if she will go out or not. She was kind of shy to face Jordan.


'Wait! Should I be the one to be embarrassed?' She asked her inner self. She was sure she quite wasn't the one who initiated something for that to happen. She will never do that. Or did she?


Raven shook her head once more. Drinking alcohol was really not for her.

Jordan and Raven was both quiet inside the car. 'What is this strange feeling? Did they quarrel?' Lou thought keeping himself not to look at the rear view mirror. He made sure of a romantic arrangement for the two. Will it just go to waste?


"Oh it's the drive-in theatre," Raven suddenly blurted out when she saw the big screen and cars on an open area. She and Sheena did want to experience and try it out next.


Lou sighed hearing someone finally talked. A van was already arranged at the best spot for them. Lou just dropped them off and immediately left.


Raven looked at the back of the Mercedes Benz van facing the screen with slightly opened mouth.


'What is this, a bedroom inside the van? Are we going to sleep here?' Raven wanted to voice out.


Everything was settled with a mattress, comforter and even pillows.


"Lou arranged everything. I just asked him to get a car for the drive in theatre," Jordan said defensively looking at Raven's stunned face.


Then he added, "The movie will start in ten minutes."


"What are we going to watch?" She asked Jordan while she sat and positioned herself inside the van.


Jordan handed her the popcorn, some snacks and bottles of water and soda.


"It's a horror film like what you requested last night. Don't you remember?" Jordan looked at her closely.


Raven froze and panicked. 'What does he meant by that? Is he trying to check if I remember what happened last night?'


"Oh I see I asked that? Hmm you know well how I blacked out when drunk. Sorry." She said slightly bowing her head to hide her blushing face.


"No you did not black out, you're just more impulsive but it's nothing that I can't handle." Jordan said simply.


Raven: "…...?"


'What is he implying by that? Did I really start the kiss thing?'


She really can't remember how it happened nor started but she does recall they were both kissing each other. Raven once again blushed at the thought. That was her first kiss and it was with Jordan.


If she was the one initiated that kiss, then Jordan as a straight guy will of course response right? If it was another girl will he kiss back or not?


'Maybe I'm thinking too much and it's just not a big deal to him.' She thought to herself while making a quick glance at Jordan.


The movie started and they were watching a Stephen King's "IT". The mattress was really comfortable so Raven leaned her back on the pillows while sitting. She had gestured Jordan to sit like her since he looked stiff on his position.


He had followed and sat beside Raven. Raven will scream out of surprise from time to time. This was what she loved the most. No one will hush her while she was watching.


She even dropped words and comments like, -- Oh the clown was already there -- Run -- Hide -- At your back --


Jordan on the other hand still remained silent so she looked at him to see if he was watching or sleeping.


But she had regretted doing that and would like to pull back her gaze. She had caught Jordan on the spot staring at her instead of watching.


She calmed herself and raised an eyebrow then asked, "Ahm do I have something on my face? Or am I too noisy?"


She saw Jordan shook his head then sighed deeply. His forehead creased.


"Are you sure you really don't remember anything last night?" He asked still looking intently on her eyes.


"Nope. Why?" Raven answered. She was beginning to get tense.


Jordan moved to face her then he raised his hand unexpectedly to her shoulder and pulled her sleeve up.


Jordan continued to ask her, "How about this, you also don't remember how you got these?"


"Ahmm No. I probably bumped my shoulder into something last night? Why?" Raven was now stuttering with her answer.


She saw Jordan frowned and blew an air to his forehead bangs.


'This was frustrating.' Jordan thought. How can she manage things simply like this while he was almost going crazy? He can no longer take this.


He looked straight into her eyes and said in a snappy tone, "That's a bite mark a hickey for goodness sake!"


But Raven remained composed.


"Haha don't be funny and let's just watch. Why would I have a hickey? You are the only one with me last night. Do you happen to bite me?" She said jokingly killing the nervousness and tension of their conversation.


"What if I did?" Jordan asked her without blinking an eye.


Raven was caught off guard with that and seemed to lose her tongue.


Then she still managed to joke out, "You are probably drunk? Or maybe I had done something so you made a prank last night?"


Jordan's lips curled as he laughed crazily, "A prank you say? Something like this?"


Before Raven could react, Jordan swiftly moved pinning her down with him on top of her.


"Let me help you remember what happened last night." She heard his hoarse voice.
