NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 13: UNDER THE STARS
They stopped in a forest 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳, and you'd think they'd make a campsite outside, right? 😏🫵🫵🤣🫵🤣🫵🤣 THINK AGAIN 💀🤣💀 They still slept inside the van 🚐 — with a single candle 🕯️ in the center like it was some mysterious summoning circle or soft-core apocalypse picnic 💀✨.
Eventually, everyone fell asleep 😴 except two — Raven and Orion 😗🌌.
Instead of dozing off, they both climbed onto the roof of the van 🧗♀️🧗♂️ and lay back under a sky filled with stars 🌟💫✨🌠⭐. The silence was peaceful… until Orion turned his head and looked at her 👀.
Raven noticed 👁️👁️.
Raven:"Something wrong?" 😊
Orion (froze 😯😳quickly looking away):"N–no, nothing,"(avoiding her eyes).
She tilted her head 😏, then
Raven:"If you don't mind~ can I get something?" ☺️😇
He blinked.
Orion:"Wait✋😳… what?🤨"
She pulled out a single vodka bottle 🍾💀🤚 — one was enough, she wasn't gonna waste a whole bar 💅💅.
Orion (stared):"Can I also… drink with you?" 🥺
She gave him a smile and a nod ☺️.
He replied 😎👍 but inside? He was crying, screaming, blushing, combusting 💘💥😳.
Raven took the first drink 🥃 — straight from the bottle 💀💀 like it was water 🚰. Her alcohol tolerance? Built like a horse tank 💪🐎.
Then Orion drank straight from the bottle too 💀 (indirect kiss 🤚😙).
Ten sips in, Orion was gone 🥴 while Raven was still cool as ice 😎💅🤭.
Then Orion slurred,
Orion(slurring):"RaVeN~" 🥴💞
Raven:"Ya?" 😊
Orion(grinning):"You're soooo cute~~🥴💗"
Raven(calmly): "Thanks 😅."
He pouted 😤
Raven(confused):"What's wrong?" 🤔
Orion:You're cute 😤,"
Raven:"Thanks 😅?"
She blinked again, still not getting it like the gender-swapped clueless character in every movie 💀💀🤚🤣🤣🤣
He huffed again and moved closer 😳😳.
She shifted back.
Raven:"What's up?" 😳😅
Orion(muttering):You don't get it, do you?"
face close 😳
Raven suddenly moved back and chugged the whole vodka bottle in one go 🍾💀🤚
She flung it aside like a pro 😤
Orion: 😳 "Calm down 😅"
But now she was fully drunk 🥴
Raven(blinked hard and blurted): "WhAt ThE HeLl Do YoU MeAn~" 😤🥴
He stared at her 🥴💞
Raven(getting closer, slurring): "Do YoU LiKe Me?" 😤🥴
Orion:"Nooo~ 😤🥴💞" he replied in full tsundere-drunk mode.
She leaned over, now on top of him 🫣😳 while he sat in full stunned anime-boy posture 💀
She held his face in her hands like she was in a K-drama 🫣😳🤚💞
He was about to kiss her 😳😳 — and instead, she hugged him 💀🤚
Orion: 😳 WAS I ABOUT TO KISS HER 😭
Then he hugged her back 💞🤗
They stayed like that for a while 🥺 before heading back inside the van 🚐
And yup… they slept next to each other
Morning came
Raven woke up peacefully
And boom — Orion was right next to her
Her brain: flashback: EVERYTHING. 💀😳🧠
One by one, the others started waking up
Orion was the last — and the second his eyes opened 👁️👁️, he remembered everything 😳
He couldn't meet her gaze all morning 👀👀
Raven calmly got behind the wheel 🚙, drove to a nearby gas station ⛽, filled up the tank and grabbed a few gallons more
No one said a word.
