My parents finally came home, and I my car got fixed as well. Which meant less time with Johnny, and it was starting to take a toll on my mood. I tried bidding to though. "Do you have any plans for tonight?" My mom asked me curiously as I got ready for college. "No, not that I know of." I replied. "There's someone your father and I would like you to meet. We invited him to dinner tonight, so try not to make any plans with your friends." She said as I finished packing my lunch. "Okay." I said, feeling suspicious. "Have a great day at college sweetie." My mom said kindly as I left. I got into my car and headed towards the college, thinking of when Johnny and I would go and get breakfast at The White Rabbit. 'It hasn't even been a week and I'm missing him like crazy!!' I thought inside of my head. I met up with Garrett at the library, where I helped him with some of his homework. "How are your parents?" He asked me curiously as he ate a breakfast sandwich from the cafeteria. "They're good. They enjoyed their little trip, but I think they're glad to be back home." I replied. "Have you told them about Mr. Brown Eyes?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "You're kidding right? They'd kill me because of the way he dresses and because he has tattoos and piercings. Never mind the fact that he's my professor." I replied, but I said the last part in a hushed tone. "Well, what kind of guy do they want you to be with?" He asked with a mouthful of eggs, bacon, and bagel. "A business man who wears suits all week and polo shirts on the weekends with khaki colored pants. Someone who's all about making money and ignoring their girlfriend or spouse." I said, and he shook his head in disbelief. "That's the most boring kind of person I've ever seen. I suggest you stay with Mr. Brown Eyes, at least he's different and interesting." He said. "I know." I replied. After helping him with his homework I went to my first class, which wasn't too bad. My first couple teachers let us out early. As I walked towards the cafeteria for lunch, I felt a hand cover my mouth before I was dragged into a nearby utility closet. 'What the hell is happening!?' I thought inside of my head. The door closed after I was safely inside the room with my kidnapper, and I gently turned around. My eyes adjusted to the darkness, and I realized who temporarily stole me. "Johnny, what are you doing?" I whispered softly with a playful giggle laced in my voice. "I've missed you sweetheart. I just... needed a little fix before my next class starts." He said as he placed both of his hands on either side of my face and closed the short distance between us. Our lips met in a bone searing kiss that drove me crazy. 'God, this man knows how to kiss a girl.' I said inside of my head. I kissed him back and hoped I had the same effect on him as he had on me. He briefly broke the kiss for air and then captured my lips with his again. I placed my hands on his chest and I could feel his heart beating wildly underneath my palm. My heart was beating rapidly as well. He broke the kiss once more, and we were breathing heavy from the lack of oxygen. "What time does your class start?" I asked him curiously once I regained normal breathing. "It doesn't matter if I'm late, I'm the teacher." He said with a slight smirk. He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled into his chest. "I wish you could just sleepover like you use to, but you can't because my parents are back." I said as I breathed in his intoxicating scent. "I know, me too. We could go out sometime if you'd like, but I know you have things planned with Garrett again; I don't blame you, especially since you have spent a lot of time with me." He said as he gently tightened his arms around me. "I don't know, but we'll figure something out." I replied. We said our goodbyes and I made my way down to the cafeteria where I met up with Garrett. I really hoped that Johnny and I could work something out so we could spend more time together, but I knew we might just have to reside to my classes with him. I have a lot more on my plate now, and I need to find some kind of balance. "What took you so long?" Garrett asked me curiously as I sat down at the table. "Sorry, I was temporarily kidnapped." I said with a slight laugh. "Mr. Brown Eyes?" He asked with an amused smirk on his face. "Yeah." I replied, blushing a little. We talked about the pick up on homework our professors were giving us, but it wasn't really a surprise; it was almost time for midterm grades to come out. It isn't as stressful as high school though, because you don't have to take home a midterm report to your parents. After we finished eating we went to the library to get a study room since our next classes were cancelled. We started up the computer and tv to watch Dawko play ultimate custom night for FNaF six while we did our homework. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I wondered who it was.

Hey, what are you up to?

Doing homework and watching YouTube with Garrett. How is your class doing?

Cool. The class is going well. Everyone is just painting, so it's pretty chill. I just can't wait until I get to see you today.

That's good. I can't wait to see you either.

Johnny said he'd let me focus on my homework, and I thanked him even though I'd rather just talk to him. I ended up finishing my homework and Garrett asked for my help, which I gratefully gave him. Dawko's live stream ended just in time for me to leave for my next class. By the time I entered Johnny's classroom I noticed that he had a new project posted on the board. I figured it was just for the ones who had finished their paintings. I was surprised that the girls who drool over his didn't show up, which made me feel better. At least they wouldn't annoy the crap out of me and the other students. "Alright class, today we're starting a new project. We'll be working with water color paint; raise your hand if you've ever worked with water color before?" Johnny said after he walked into the room. I raised my hand along with a couple other students. "Good. So, I want you all to go online and find a picture of a landscape you'd like to paint using water colors. You don't have to rush, especially since most of you guys aren't finished the first project." He said as he took a seat at his desk. Everyone continued their work on their paintings while I and a couple others searched for pictures. I listened to my music and searched the internet wondering which landscape picture would be the best for water color. I just found the picture I wanted when Johnny said we could wrap things up for the day. Everyone was cleaning up while I shut my music off and put my phone in my pocket. 'You should linger for a while so you can spend some extra time with Johnny.' I said inside of my head. Instead of grabbing my stuff and leaving, I actually offered to help a few people clean up. They seemed really grateful that I was willing to help, and it made me feel good inside. "Thanks for helping me." A girl named Rose said. "No problem." I replied with a smile. I acted as if I was looking for something in my backpack as the last couple of students left the room. I grabbed my stuff and walked into the back room where Johnny was. I wondered what he was up to, and I hoped he didn't have much work to do tonight. As I walked into the back room I spotted him checking to see if the sink was all clean and everything. "Hey, I see you decided to stick around a little." Johnny said with a smile on his handsome face. I smiled as well, and I felt my cheeks heat up as well. "Yes, I have." I replied happily. "Good, because I was hoping you would." He said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. I wrapped my arms around his torso and laid my head on his chest to listen to his heart beat. He kissed the top of my head, which gave me butterflies and made me smile. 'I love you, Johnny.' I said inside of my head. The sound of the classroom door opening and closing made us jump apart; I prayed that someone just came inside instead of someone coming inside. I hurried behind the wall that hid the potters wheels, and hoped beyond hope that Johnny and I didn't just get discovered by someone. "Mr. Depp, hi. I was wondering what assignments I missed last week." I heard a male voice say. Johnny spoke to the student for a while in the other room, and I sort of breathed a sigh of relief. 'That was close.' I thought inside of my head. "The coast is clear." I heard Johnny say, and I came out of my hiding spot. "That was close." I said, and he agreed. "At least we weren't kissing." He said with a cute smirk on his face. "You can say that again." I said with a slight laugh. "I just wished being your boyfriend would be easier, but the struggle is so worth it." He said as he caressed my cheek with his thumb and kissed my forehead. "I think it's worth it too." I replied with a smile. We talked a little bit longer before we said our goodbyes. I stopped by the recreation center to hangout with Garrett for a few minutes before I headed home. I knew my parents wanted me to meet someone tonight, but I wasn't really excited about meeting new people at the moment. Mostly because I barely had any time to spend with the people in it already. As I drove home I listened to some music to clear my head, and I tried building myself up for meeting someone new. Once I arrived at my house I hurried upstairs to get started on my homework and then I took a quick shower. I changed into a pair of shants; they're pants that aren't exactly pants and they're shorts but not exactly shorts. I put on an old AC/DC shirt as well and slipped on a pair of flip flops. When I walked downstairs I spotted a man I didn't know sitting on the couch. His black hair was slicked back and he was wearing a gray colored suit with a yellow colored tie. "Raven, this is Terrance. We met him on our little trip, and he was just dying to meet you after all the stuff we said about you." My mom said, and I could tell she wasn't happy with my appearance. "Oh, hello." I said with a small smile. "Hi, it's nice to meet you in person. Your parents said so many wonderful things about you." He said with a smile on his square shaped face. He held out a hand for me to shake, and I took it kindly. "It's nice to meet you too." I replied, but I knew he was more pleased to meet me than I was to meet him. I sat down on the couch where Terrance was sitting; my parents left the room, and that's when it hit me. They were trying to set me up with him. My own parents were trying to set me up with someone they met on their time away. "Your parents told me you were going to college. What's your major?" Terrance asked me with curiosity in his emerald green eyes. "Fine arts." I replied, and he looked at me surprised. "Fine arts? I thought you'd be more of a business management kind of girl judging by your parents." He replied with furrowed brows. "Well, I'm not my parents." I said, feeling slightly offended. I probably shouldn't have been offended, but I was. He didn't ask any more questions, which I was grateful for. But when my mom said dinner was ready he fired up the question machine again. I answered them flatly, to my parent's demise. Thankfully, when he left he got the hint that I wasn't interested in him. "Why did you do that? He's a nice man, and you're not getting younger." My mom said. "He isn't my type, mom. I'll find a guy on my own." I said as I went back up to my room. I was feeling salty, and I needed something to cheer me up. I checked my phone to see a couple of messages on it.

Have a lovely night, darling.

Sweet dreams.

I smiled at them and wished he was here to hold me in his arms. 'One day, Raven. One day.' I thought inside of my head as I got ready for bed.
