"Stephen move, I'm hungry I'm going to go make breakfast."

"Put some pants on, they in the dresser under the TV,third drawer." He waves her off and she makes her way into the kitchen that the boys barely clean.

Rummaging through the fridge she finds almost everything she wants to eat, pulling it out and placing it orderly on top of the granite counter. She pulls the pans from the dishwasher and preps them all sitting them on the eye she needs to cook with.

Terrance makes his way into the kitchen stopping at the entrance to stare at her. Even with her semi messy hair, big shirt, and saggy bed pants she manages to look good to him.

"Good morning Ms. Raven."

She smiles back at him and continues to flip her pancakes and watch over her food making sure not to burn it.

"Foods almost done. I'll make your plate and call for you when I'm finished."

He nods and plops onto the couch. Little did they both know Stephen had been watching Terrance undress Raven with his eyes and he didn't like it a bit.

He kisses her forehead before plopping down beside his boy and whispering something to him.

"She's mine bro, back off. If I catch you staring at her again that's yo ass."

"Over a girl though? I thought we was cool? I know you sweatin shawty but I didn't think y'all was like that. You just met her."

Stephen rolls his eyes and Raven calls for the boys to come and gets their plates before sitting across from them and focusing on the movie playing on TV.

She notices Stephen staring at her and she shifts uncomfortably before getting up to toss her plate and put her dish in the sink. Her phone vibrates shortly after.

:Bestieeeeeeeee🤞🏾❤️: When are you coming back?

Me: I'm on my way actually I got shit to tell you

Bestieeeeeeeee🤞🏾❤️: ouuuueeee bitch hurry up

Me:😂😂😂 ok:

She puts her phone away and tosses the shirt and pants she borrowed from him in the dirty clothes basket before grabbing her leggings and another one of his shirts.

"You finna leave?"

She nods and he slips his Nike slides on and grabs a Wife Beater before grabbing his keys off the night stand and following her to the front of the suit.

"Bye Terrance."

"Bye shawty."

His eyes stay glued to the TV and she finds that a little weird. Even though she had just met Terrance yesterday he never missed his chance to stare at her or steal little glances and give her smile. The smile made a different to her knowing that she was finally making friends.

In the car she made no noise only nodding her head to the music playing and silently lip syncing the one song she did like. They pull up to her dorm building and she sighs heavily. Back to hell. Raven knew that as soon as she walked through the door of the third floor she would get questioned by every female on her floor. Even though they never thought to talk to her before. Stephan was a Junior and a fine one at that. Well known around campus and Raven wasn't the type of girl you would usually spot on his arm. Let alone him to be having sex with. She's pulled out of her thoughts when he grabs her hand and rubs the back of it with his thumb.

"You ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"If they ask, you mine. Any problems send them to me. Anybody in your building say we fucked, they're lying I don't fuck freshman."

"So your not going to try and fuck me right?"

"You're a different story, but nah I'm not gonna try and fuck you, make love to you though? Possibly. Show you something different? Definitely. But I'm not sure if you're ready for all that."

He smirks and places small kisses from her forehead to the bottom of her jaw before trying for a peck on the lips which she allows. He gives her a couple more but she pulls away when she feels someone staring at her. Girls from her building stand in the door, pretend fumbling with their I.D. Badge to get in.

"It's not a big deal ok?"

She nods and grabs her bag from the floor while he gets out to open the door for her. Stephen hugs her tight inhaling her scent one last time before letting her go and placing one more kiss on her soft lips.

"Imma text you, more like FaceTime you if you answer."

"I'll think about replying."

"Damn it's like that?" He chuckles and flashes her a smile making her smile as she pulls her I.D. And unlocks the door.

"See you later."

"I'm taking you to lunch tomorrow be ready by 12."

She nods and waves one final goodbye before making the agonizing trip up all four flights of stair to her dorm room. She knocks knowing that her best friend will answer the door and waits. A few girls from her y'all come out and wave at her while some stare before walking into someone else's room.

"Hey bitchhhhh. I missed you."

"Hey, how was your little trip with Anthony?"

"Good as always, got wined, dined, and almost 69'd."

"Whore."

Raven unpacks her things and strips from her leggings leaving Stephens shirt on and tossing on her sports shorts. She grabs her dirty clothes basket and washing powder before dragging it down the hallway to the washroom. When she passes Gary's room he stops her.

"Wussup Raven. Where you been?"

"I been around."

"I see, I see, ayo um, so you fuckin with Step now?"

"It's not like that."

"Nigga snap say something else."

"We're not fucking Gary, were just good friends right now."

"I hear you, watch out with him. A lot of the girls on the hall were jealous and talking about the pictures he posted yesterday."

"Not my problem, it's really nothing and anybody that says otherwise is reaching."

The girl Amiyah two doors down from me spots me and Gary talking and laughs.

"You gone fuck him too?"

"Excuse me bitch?"

She laughs.

"We all know you're fuckin Steph but damn do you have to fuck everybody he hangs with too? Save us some dick."

Raven laughs and shakes her head.

"You bitches are so fucking miserable."

She takes out her phone and FaceTimes Stephen.

"Wussup baby girl."

Amiyah and Gary looked shocked. They've never heard him refer to a female as baby girl let alone answer the first ring.

"I don't wanna be here anymore, miserable ass bitches on my hall starting it already."

"Give me five and I'll be up there. Tell D come let me in and go back to your room. I'll handle that shit. Stay on the phone"

"Ok." She takes her basket and walks back to the room. Leaving the two of them stuck in awe. She locks her room door and Grace and Vitoria stare at her wanting to know what's going. What could have happened that fast.

She proceeds to tell them and they laugh knowing that Raven couldn't have done anything with him. She was happy but she wasn't as elated as she would usually be after she got dick, she wasn't her witty self, and she damn sure didn't come bearing her sex story. So they knew that she hadn't even touched him. As far as they knew he was thick but that's all she could tell from sitting on his lap. Nothing more. She couldn't say that he was a good kisser because he was giving her love pecks. She couldn't say that he was a freak because she didn't get that side of them.

After a while she could hear him talking to someone on the phone and him climbing stairs before the talking started. Gary's voice was one of the first she heard once he reached her hall, then Amiyah and a couple of other people.

He asked what the problem was and just as she expected Amiyah attempts to lie.

"She coming up in here telling Gary that y'all fucked and that she wanted to fuck him. So I asked her to save us some dick."

Gary shakes his head and she can see Stephens nose flare as he listens to the lies. She hangs up and walks down the hallway, Grace and Victoria got on her ass. She wraps her small arms around his waist to calm him and he shakes his head, running his large hands across her arms.

"I told you to stay in your room."

"I know but you also know why I'm out here."

He nods and continues with what he has to say making sure to address Amiyah and any other female or male on the hall willing to try and spit on her name. He claims her but let's it be known that we're not having sex, leaving a few people dumbfounded. I would be too. Out of all the girls he could have. He wanted Raven, she short, fat, natural girl, with a lot of freak in her and just a little funny, well A lot of funny.

"Get dressed, all of you. You're going with me. I don't have time for the bullshit today."

The three of them hurry to get dressed each packing a bag knowing that they'd be staying with him tonight. With fall break being this week classes were canceled and Victoria would be here for a while. They hurried down to his car where he waited, trunk open and also all three doors for each of them to get in.

"Don't close the door."

He comes around and closes each door before getting into the driver side and pulling off making sure to grab Ravens hand and run the back of it while he drives. Something about her keeps him calm. His whole demeanor would change when she was around. He wasn't as hot headed and could keep his mouth closed instead of blowing up. She kept him sane and the more he discovered how she effected him the more he wanted her.

They pull into his complex and he lets them all out grabbing each bag while they follow Raven up to his suit. She unlocks the door and heads straight to his room leaving the other to in the living room for him to get them situated. He places them in the two vacant rooms and finally comes in the room to keep her company. Apologizing to her for what happened and comforting her.

"If things like that are going to happen frequently because of me being with you I don't think we should be around each other."

"That shits not going to happen again, I promise. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you Raven. And I'm definitely not letting you get rid of me that easily."
