(Ravine POV)
"I am not who you think I am as well." I said to my werewolf boyfriend. A part of me is ecstatic that he's a werewolf because now, I know that I am not the only supernatural one here.
"What do you mean?"
"Watch!" I said as I sat in front of him and began doing my stuff.
I focused on the pebbles around me and mentally listened to the ticking of the metronome in my head again.
Tick, tick, tick
My hands turned into clenched fists as my mind tries to control the rocks surrounding us. Within a few minutes, rocks started levitating off the ground and JJ's eyes are as wide as they can be.
"Ravine! What the-?!"
I lowered my arms as I tried to place them back on the ground as carefully as I can.
"You are not a mortal? How?" JJ asked.
"I have no idea as well. I just recently discovered my ability to move and break things using my mind."
"Holy crap! What else are you able to do?" He asked.
"I don't know. So far, I made Nick's nose bleed, I made a flame go up, I broke Ms. Beverly's water dispenser, I cracked a wall, I threw a guy in an amusement park, that's all I can remember."
"Do they get out of control sometimes?" JJ asked.
"Sometimes but now, I think I got ahold of it pretty well."
"That's amazing." JJ said.
"So you aren't freaked out by me at all?" I asked.
"Of course not! We're both immortals, Ravine. We are so perfect for each other." He said as he cupped both my cheeks and kissed me.
I kissed him back with the same tenderness and affection.
"I love you, JJ!" I finally said.
"What? Say that again please."
"I said I love you."
"I love you too, Ravine!"
We shared one more passionate kiss before going back to our cabin.

(JJ POV)
"That smells good." Ravine said as he embraced me from behind.
"Yup, it's a family recipe." I said.
"What is it?"
"Italian style meatloaf!"
"Yum!" He said. "I'll go set the tables."
"Alright, babe!"
As soon as I turned around for a quick second, I saw every silverwares, porcelain plates and glasses floating their way to the table. Oh yeah! I forgot, he has telekinesis.
I saw Ravine waving his hands around, motioning the objects and placing them neatly on the table.
"Bravo!" I clapped.
I ran to him and carried him and spun him around while he laughs in my ear. I then peppered his face with so many kisses until he finally covered my lips with his hand.
"JJ, that tickles!!"
"I love kissing you!" I said.
"The meatloaf!" He said.
"Oh yeah, that!"
I hurried to the oven and wore my gloves before taking the meatloaf out. Boy, it looks so good. Grandma would be so proud right now. I am so excited for Ravine to taste this.
I laid it on the table before stretching my arms out.
"Let's hope I did it justice."
I pulled the seat for Ravine like a gentleman I am before retrieving the Chardonnay from our liquor cabinet.
"Oh my!"
"Of course, our dinner will be incomplete without a nice bottle of Chardonnay." I said.
"I have tasted alcohol before and I didn't really enjoy it."
"Well, this wine might change your mind." I said as I pulled the cork and poured him a glass.
He took a sip of it and his face went blank for a second.
"Hmm…that's actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be." Ravine said.
"I told you."
He finished it before asking me for more.
"It tastes like fresh grapes!" He said as I poured him another glass. I poured myself one as well and then went on to slicing the meatloaf.
"That smells like the best meatloaf ever!"
"It is!" I said as I made two slices and I gave him the bigger one because that's how an Alpha should be, prioritizing and giving more to his mate than himself. Not to toot my own horn!
I sat down and Ravine and I finally dug in.
"Mm…this tastes so good, JJ! Why is it so moist and creamy?"
"It's the Parmesan cheese. Oops, sorry, I wasn't supposed to say that. It's my grandmother's secret."
"God bless your grandmother!" He said.
Ravine and I enjoyed the rest of our dinner. Afterwards, we just chat and drink like what couples do during their staycation. Suddenly, I remembered that my dad has a phonograph somewhere and a box of vintage vinyl records.
"Wait a minute, I am going to look for something."
I scrambled to my feet to find where the goddamn things are and it took me a good few minutes for me to finally see where they are hidden. I brought the phonograph down as well as the box of vinyl discs, much to Ravine's awestruck expression.
"Alright, let's get to work."
I looked for a specific Jackie Gleason record that would fit our moment right now. After a while, I found "Alone Together" which is exactly the type of song I was looking for. I have never been a fan of romantic jazz songs but because of the endless playing of it during my parents' anniversary celebrations, I learned to love it already.
I started playing it and it sounds divinely beautiful. The orchestration is sublime and the composition is pure art. I couldn't help but get goosebumps.
I went to Ravine who's sipping his wine glass of Chardonnay and lent my hand out to him.
"Can I have this dance?" I asked.
He shyly gave me his hand and I escorted him to the living room that's big enough to be our dance floor.
"JJ, I don't really know how to dance." He said.
"Shhh, you don't have to. Just follow my lead and let the music speak for itself." I said.
I held his left hand while I place my other hand on his hip and we began swaying gently to the music. Ravine is trying his best to copy my movement but he's actually doing pretty well.
Our movements are in perfect match with the music.
I twirled him and his back is now pressed against my chest. He giggled in amusement as we continue to dance to the beat of the music.
"See, you're pretty good at this!" I said.
"You think so?"
I twirled him again so he was now facing me.
We continued dancing to the seductive music and then I noticed that it's coming to an end. As the final notes are being played, I dipped Ravine as a way to finish our sultry dance.
The music ended but we still stayed in the dip position.
We looked into each other's eyes and without dillydallying, I connected my lips to his, kissing him softly.
I don't know what it is but Ravine has such a magnetic trait.
I don't know if it's his innocence or quirkiness or what. One thing's for sure, I am extremely attracted to him. There's no one else in the world I would rather be with than him.
My feelings for him have grown tremendously and nothing can change that.
