Chapter 3: YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD

Raven's point of view

"What are you doing here?" Zeb was surprised when she looked up and saw me in front of him.

He wasn't expecting me to pay him a visit at their shop.

"Well, I just had a thought and dropped it here before going to do something important this morning, and seeing the love of my life is somehow important to me," I giggled, staring at him.

He blushed .. 

"Wow! I'm sorry I won't be able to attend..."

"It's okay, love! I know and I see how busy you are, don't worry, my friends will come to pick me up," I said.

"What? As in here at the shop? But love...—"

"Why? There's nothing wrong with it, okay?"

Now I know what he was thinking. I'm sure he's aware of how my friends degrade him when he's with me. How much more if they come and pick me up at the shop they despise the most?

He stood up and turned to face me. The dirt on his hands has never stopped me from hugging and kissing him.

"I'm so filthy, love."

He tried to distance himself from me, but the closer I get to him, the more he wants to be with me.

"Well, I don't care. I can change if I ever look dirty, and I missed you," I said, trying to bite my lips in front of him.

I stared at his expressive eyes, kissable lips, and hunky body, which made me feel safe every time his arms wrapped around my body. Of course, I couldn't let this day pass without doing something special with Zeb.

I discovered it on my own while kissing him inside his room. I believe she was trying to take a bath the last time I saw him, but I stripped naked and entered the bathroom.

We exchanged passionate kisses. As he kissed me in the neck down to my healthy breasts, I could feel his hard muscles surrounded by my sensitive skin. I closed my eyes as he began to play with my nipple, which caused a surge of electricity throughout my entire body.

My eyes closed and I bit my lower lip as he caressed my breast. Zeb knew exactly where to find my sense of humour, which was invaluable. Something that I wouldn't look for anyone else.. experiencing moments like this with him is more than enough for me.. 

"I'm coming in. I can't stay here any longer, love. You always drive me insane every time we do this," Zeb said as he stared at me, asking for my permission.

I could still recall the first time we kissed, first time we made love.. He was the first, and I laugh every time I recall how I cried afterward, especially when I noticed a blood stain on the sheet and he did nothing but kiss and comfort me. He promised not to hurt me again, that he would love me for the rest of his life, that he would do everything he could to protect me, and that he would make me happy.

"You may, love..."

I replied in hushed tones.

As he spread out my legs, he positioned himself. He kissed me, and I felt him slowly enter my body. I knew because I could feel the tough thing tying me up. Yes, it was extremely difficult.

He moved in and out, and it grew faster and more aggressive than before. It just goes to show how much he missed me, just as much as I missed him.

We were both satisfied with our feelings after a few minutes. He kissed me and gazed at my enticing naked body.

"How I wish this body was solely mine."

That was quite strange. That was the first time I heard him say those words.

"What are you saying? - why? Are you thinking of giving it to someone else?" I asked, but I was in pain. I poutedy lips as I faced him. 

As he lay down, he took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling.

"If I had the power to decide our future, I would stay where we are now, if I had enough money, I would marry you just to ensure that you would be mine forever," he said solemnly.

"Really? Are you sure I'll love to marry you?" It was a joke, but I never saw him laugh, instead, he became more serious, and I could tell.

"That was something to think about, because I know how much your parents despise me...-"

"They love you, they don't hate you, they never told me that they feel that way about you, they just want me to have a good future."

"That they think I can't give you, right? They might not spill out when I'm around..but I know as I turned my back they see me nothing." Zeb bit his lip. "Because I was just working here, in an old car shop where dad had been stucked.? He earned years working here, but there is no progress, and that is exactly what your parents were thinking." He's still not looking at me.

I took his hands in mine. I placed my head on his chest and tried to communicate with him in the best way I knew how. in such a way that he is not offended and does not feel so small. 

"Love, you were a good student, you finished your course with flying colors, and we can't deny that if you tried to apply at a company, they would automatically hire you. But we have to think about our future, I mean, we have to work for now and get a stable and decent job."

It triggered him, and he turned to face me. He stepped out of bed and handed me my clothes.

"Your friends will soon arrive, and you won't want them to see you that way and guess what happened."

"Love, did you hear me? Why don't you try to apply to a decent company with a regular salary? I'm sure..."

"Working in my own territory is inherited," Zeb says. "We own this car shop, and I am happy to be here. We can earn here; we earned. My father sent me to school because of this, and I know I can help him make these shops better. I understand you don't understand my point; well, I am not forcing you to understand me. Just let me decide things for myself, especially when it comes to this shop, okay?"

"Don't be mad, I was just trying to give you an option in case this shop doesn't work out."

"This will be some success, Raven. Maybe not right now, but I'm hoping so soon. It's getting late, and I think your friends will no longer come to pick you up. I'll just give you a ride to wherever you're going." He offered.

"Are you sure? Are you sure, but your father might need you here."

"Dad always understands," he said as he led the way out of the room.
