"Kia Ora!" We're A Long Way From Home

[JadieLou]

They arrived at the hotel restaurant, which was really very flashy, and were seated almost straight away.

An hour later, after a lot of food on Andi's part, AND dessert, they headed back upstairs to their rooms. Andi said goodnight to her parents at their door, then led Raven back into their room. She sighed. "Man... I feel sooooooo bloated!" she grumbled. "I think I'm going to go for another shower and get changed. Alrigties? I'll see you in a bit."

Andi picked her nightie and some underwear out of her suitcase, then disappeareed back into the bathroom.

After Andi headed back into the bathroom, Raven kicked off her sandals then grabbed her mp3 player from her suitcase and headed out onto the balcony and stared out at the view; this trip had been just awesome so far and she wondered if it maybe was the right time to admit what she had been feeling for the past few months. While she contemplated exactly what to do, she put one of the earbuds into her ears then turned the mp3 player on and began flipping through the songs until she stopped on one that sort of explained how she felt.

She cleared her throat then began singing along to the song*;

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's ok, it's ok, it's ok-a-e-a-e-ayyy.

and Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my-ay-ay, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and,
Please tell me you'll stay, woah stay woah

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

OOC: OMFG! I f**king LOVE that song!! *ahem*

Andi pulled herself out of the bathroom in her silky nightie, rubbing her long dark locks with a towel. She stopped by the beds when she saw, and heard, Raven singing on the balcony. It was a very cute song. She smiled. When the other girl seemed to be finished, she dropped the towel on a chair and made her way out to the balcony. She touched the other girl's arm.

"What song was that?"

[Alexandria Silverton]

ooc: Haha, it actually came on as I was posting..I was just dude that's perfect.

Raven hadn't noticed anyone was out on the balcony until she felt something touch her arm and she jumped slightly; she turned around then blushed slightly when saw Andi sitting down. "Oh, that was Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus." she said then turned her mp3 player off and put her hands behind her back. "Umm, how long were you out here?"

Raven, you have to tell her how you feel; you know very well that the longer you put it off, the harder it'll be and this honestly is the perfect moment.

[JadieLou]

OOC: heheh noice!

"It's nice," Andi replied. Raven looked kinda shocked, almost embarassed that Andi was out there. "Uhm, not too long. Why, is there something wrong? Am I not allowed to listen? You have a really nice voice."

[Alexandria Silverton]

"No, its just I'm a little surprised that you're out here that's all." Raven said with a slight shrug as she bit her bottom lip softly, still pondering exactly to do, maybe it was best just to throw down the cards and say what she wanted to for the past few months. "Andi, I..I really like you, I mean more than just friends." Oh smooth, brilliant one there Raven, you couldn't have found anyone way to say that?

[JadieLou]

To say Andi was surprised by that revelation was an understatement. "What?" she eenquired softly. "You - You like me? More than friends? But... I thought you liked Torin?!" She didn't really know what to say to that. She thought Raven was extremely attractive, and she wouldn't mind being in a relationship with her, she had thought about telling her so, but Andi had no idea Raven also liked women!

[Alexandria Silverton]

"I did like Torin at one point, until I found out that he had a girlfriend, then I just gave up; I'm tired of being the fool here." Raven said with a slight sigh as she turned around to look out at the view, this is exactly why she was dreading admitting to Andi how she really felt. "Look, I'm going to take a walk..I'll uh, be back later I guess." she headed back inside then headed to the door and opened it, then walked out and shut the door behind her.

[JadieLou]

"Oh," Andi replied, then Raven announced she was going for a walk and left. Andi quickly pushed her tiny frame off the seat and ran after her, wrenching the door open and closing it behind her, running down the hall. Thankfully, Raven hadn't gone far.
"No... Raven, don't," she murmured as she got close to the other girl. Raven was about 5 inches taller than Andi, but the shorter girl managed to reach really high on her tiptoes, pulling her arms around Raven's neck, until she was able to kiss her, showing Raven she reciprocated.

[Alexandria Silverton]

Raven stopped in her tracks when she heard Andi's voice, she sighed slightly and began to wonder exactly what she wanted; when she felt Andi's arms around her neck and her lips on hers, she blushed a slight crimson then kissed her back and pulled away slightly with a smile. "Maybe, we should go back to the room" she suggested when she brushed the bangs from her eyes.

[JadieLou]

Andi sighed, feeling Raven responding to the kiss. She pulled back, and nodded as the othr girl spoke. "I think that's a great idea," she chuckled, taking her friend's hand and walking back to the room. She opened the door and closed it again, locking it behind her.

"So..." she murmured.

[Alexandria Silverton]

Raven pressed one finger carefully to Andi's lips, there was no way she'd let this moment be ruined. "Shh, don't speak." she said softly then leaned back down and kissed Andi softly, she began to debate how far this was going to go since she didn't exactly want to rush things since that's what usually led her to getting hurt in the end.

[JadieLou]

Andi felt Raven's finger press against her lips, then the other girl spoke, and kissed her. Andi sighed softly, and responded, sliding her arms up around the taller girl's neck, trying to get more leverage.

[Alexandria Silverton]

Raven walked backwards and sat down on the bed, kissing Andi all the while; it seemed as though she was trying not let herself get out of control, she really liked Andi but wasn't exactly ready to take this any farther than it needed to go. Stop what you're doing Raven, honestly you know you can't control yourself so you might as well just end this kiss and go to sleep

[JadieLou]

Andi sighed. This was nice. It had been a while since she'd kissed anyone, let alone a girl. Her ex had been fully open to her bisexuality, even encouraging her to bring girlfriends over, but she'd never oblidged, finding it a little wrong. Andi pulled back from the kiss, not knowing how far Raven wanted to go. Andi knew she couldn't do anything more... not tonight anyway.
"I - I... Uhm..."
