When I Found Myself

Chapter 20

Harver's POV

"So what are the plans for tomorrow?" Rayne asks me. We lay side by side, hands attached, lights off.
"The war begins." I say.
"What's your best pickup line?" I laugh.
"What has that got to do with anything?"
"Still! Just tell me." She says.
"Did it hurt? I'll ask. To which they'll respond 'what?' and then I'll say 'when you fell from Heaven'. Which usually works, unless they're fallen angels. Then they just say yes." Rayne laughs. Her laugh is just so pure...
"So you picked an original." She says.
"Yea, but I've got a few of my own." She smiles goofily.
"Like what?" I flash a smile.
"Maybe I'll try them out on you sometime." She laughs.
"Don't use the Heaven one. I won't fall for it."
"You think that now." I say, winking.

Rayne's POV

I smile to myself. I don't think any pickup lines would work on me. I tell Harver this. To which he responds,"You'd fall for mine." I smile and roll ontop of him with my puffy nightgown.
"You're crazy." I say, and I kiss him.
"Why's that?" He asked goofily.
"Because I said so." He smiles. I kiss him again before rolling back to my side of the bed and staring at the ceiling.
"Rayne?" He whispers.
"Hmm?"
"If I don't make it back tomorrow," I stop him.
"Don't start Harver."
"We have to fess up to the truth, Rayne. I may die tomorrow. If I do, stay safe. You can even start loving Aiden if you REALLY want to."
"No. You aren't going to die. I don't need a talk about how you might die." Though inside, I know it's the truth.
"It's true." He whispers. I face the wall and close my eyes. Just before I fall asleep, I feel arms wrap around me.
