Raven can hardly sleep all night. Even in her dreams she's been murmuring different ways to perfectly tie a necktie. Jordan's first request was she does the tying of his necktie whenever he'll need it.
Today he had an important appointnt and Jordan handed her his tie. He looked so amused on taking advantages of their bet.
Raven made a face and comnted, "You sure are enjoying this huh?" She had tightened the pull making Jordan slightly cough.
"Hey be gentle, I'm just helping you out in the future," he said full of aning and teasing her intentionally.
Raven blushed and quickly turned around. Sheena just went out from her room and greeted them.
"Is your leg okay now?" she asked seeing Raven was walking. Raven smiled and nodded.
Lou arrived at the apartnt to pick-up his Boss then the two left.
Sheena and Raven were both drinking coffee at the balcony where they can see Jordan who just entered his car.
Sheena noticed that Raven was staring at the moving car. She had sensed that the two beca much closer. Jordan was definitely making his moves and she was curious right now if her friend can sense it already even though she was doubtful knowing Raven for so many years.
"What do you think of Jordan? Do you like him now?" She asked directly. Raven was caught off guard and turned red.
"Oh dear, look at you blushing, so that ans you like him?" Sheena asked once more to reconfirm.
This ti Raven laughed and said in a jest, "Yes I do like him. Anyway, it's just normal to admire soone right? He was too kind to recently besides he was also handso.
Then her tone suddenly got serious, "He probably just sees as a sister now. He was being good to and taking care of just what a big brother normally does."
Sheena rolled her eyes. She did expect this of Raven's super broadminded thinking. Ever since she had been friends with Raven, the only one thing she noticed botherso was this attitude of hers of not giving any aning to all things.
It was more like she doesn't rely based on actions only not unless she will directly hear the exact words from that certain person. She was with Raven since primary school and she was not like that before.
Recalling the past, Sheena could tell that Raven's drastic change started during their first half at secondary school.
Like last year, she kept teasing Raven about their class president having his eyes on her. Raven will always brush her off even accusing her of her judgental mind and all.
Then after the graduation ceremony that president of them took the confidence and confessed his feelings to Raven not minding her and Yan to hear those wrecking words of love.
Sheena suddenly burst out into laughter at the thought of that awkward mont. Raven looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"Oh I just rember an incident of how naïve you can be like last year with our Mr. President." Sheena teased her friend.
"So maybe Jordan liked you too not just as a sister but as a woman. Sotis actions can tell it all." Sheena just suggested.
Sheena's mind was battling if she should tell Raven or not that Jordan definitely liked her as a woman. But it's not in her character to ddle or interfere to serious topics like this and she has no right. It was definitely Jordan's call to tell Raven his true feelings first.
"One thing I've learned was that most of the ti actions can be misleading. Like - you cannot based things on words alone - sa goes with - you cannot based things on actions alone - . Both should be harmonious." Sheena heard Raven answered in a resilient tone.
Sheena: "..."

"Sir, these are the tickets you requested." Lou handed to Jordan two tickets for the classical music concert at the Symphony Hall tonight. He had wanted to check this out with Raven.Although at first, he hesitated thinking Raven might be bored but his browsing at the internet yesterday had given him encouragent.
He had read that instead of trying to et her at her level, bringing her up to his level was much better. Bringing her into his world, rather than trying to cram himself into hers, and giving a new life experiences she wouldn't get otherwise.
So he sent a ssage to Raven.
[The company gave two tickets for the classical music concert tonight at the Symphony Hall. You should accompany . I will pick you up by 5:00 – let's grab an early dinner first.]
Raven's eyebrows creased and replied seeing Jordan's ssage.
[Okay got it]
She imdiately went to her room and opened her closet. She doesn't know what to wear.
'A semi-formal dress will probably do.' She thought while scanning her wardrobe.
'Raven calm down.' She scolded herself because she was feeling excited and nervous at the sa ti. After several trials of outfits she had chosen a simple slash neck lace semi formal dress in wine red color and above her knee length showing her beautiful legs.
"Wow, you look great and stunning." Sheena comnted looking at her. She was sure there will be another jaw dropping scene later like now with Chad who was with her in the living room.
Raven was not into so much make-up and she really adored her friend having that natural beauty with her.
She had told Chad that Raven will be out with Jordan and he insisted that they too should go and he will treat her. She refused since it's not her thing and she will surely just sleep at the hall at most.
Chad did not give up and tried to check if he can get any ticket for himself but unfortunately all sold-out and an early reservation was required.
She doesn't know if she will laugh or cry with Chad's bad luck. She decided to accompany him to dinner and to a movie theater instead.
