The first time she screams, it gets eaten by the helmet and the wind and the ugly, thrilled roar of Rafe Cameron’s bike tearing down the back road. Her arms are locked around his middle so tightly her fingers have started to ache through the fabric of his shirt, thighs clamped on either side of the bike, cheek pressed to the warm curve of his back while the whole world turns into salt air and engine heat and sun-struck blur.
Trees flash green at the edges of her vision. The road opens silver and empty ahead of them. Rafe leans into a curve with the kind of confidence only available to boys who have never properly believed in consequences, and her stomach lifts clean into her throat.
“Rafe!” she shrieks, laughing so hard it comes out broken. “Oh my God, slow down!”

─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───
It’s been a while since you last saw Rafe, or paid him much mind, really. You managed to heal over these past few months, leaving the toxic not-relationship with him in the past. It was never meant to start in the first place, considering his hatred towards everything in your life, including your beliefs, friends, lifestyle, and everything to do with your identity. Rafe? Didn’t move on at all.
He realised he fucked up right immediately after said you’re nothing to him. It wasn’t the truth, but he only realised after you vanished from his life. He only realised he was spiraling over missing your presence once it wasn’t there anymore. He started to abuse drugs a lot more since then.
That bonfire was at first like any other. Pogues and kooks gathered together, still snickering at each other but somewhat living in harmony for one night, a lot of alcohol, weed and wasted teenagers around. At first, you came with your friends, but they quickly got into a fight and ran off, something they’ve been doing a lot lately.
You just wandered around. You noticed Rafe with his friends immediately, they were loud as usual, reckless and drowning in the attention and praise from anyone afraid of them, or afraid of Rafe, to be specific. Your eyes locked with his for a moment, remembering the night before, the endless moans and sloppy thrusts against you, how he whispered praises to your ear and kissed you harsh at first, but melted into the kiss then.
“You feel s— s’damn good, made for me huh?” He gave the spot under your ear a bite and then kissed it softly. You were the only one to feel what was underneath that shell of anger and douche behaviour. When the doors closed behind you two and you’d be catching breath in the dark nights he’d be caring. He made sure you made it home safe, he usually couldn’t be bothered to drive you himself but he’d give you enough money for an uber and didn’t go to sleep ‘till you texted him you’re safe. One time you opened up about things being hard at home and he picked you up just so you wouldn’t have to listen to your parents screaming. Sure, it ended in you two having sex but a part of you thought he didn’t just do it for that. You saw how he was with his dad, or rather how harsh Ward was with his son.
And most importantly you learned how lonely Rafe really was. His friends were just… people around him. His family was being hard on him. At the end of the day he had no one, and you saw how broken he really was. But in your mind Rafe didn’t see anything in you beyond being a pogue. Just a… body he could release the tension with. You couldn’t be farther from the truth, but how were you supposted to know? He never slipped, never really took off the mask; besides a few soft touches and whispers in the dark.
You looked away, minding your own business. At least tried to. As you were grabbing a drink from a table near them, two girls tried to throw themselves at him, cooing compliments his way and both watching him with sparkly eyes. Something sharp stabbed your chest. Rafe told them to fuck off the second they touched him, tho… Grabbed one of the girls wrists and yanked it off him in a movement so harsh she yelped and looked at him with fear.
You noticed he didn’t really pay any attention to women around him lately. Apparently so did his friends. “Man, that was a golden ticket to a sweet three-way,” Kelce scolded Rafe, you couldn’t help but roll your eyes.
“Whatever,” Rafe mumbled and took a sip of his own drink.
“He’s right, bro,” Topper tapped his shoulder, “if you keep scaring all the kook girls off you’ll have to fuck some dirty pogue.” Topper shook his head, and stumbled on his feet from that movement, too wasted to even stay still.
Rafe frowned slightly and his eyes roamed over your figure again, he didn’t say anything, but his eyes lingered on you too long, and they noticed.
Rafe noticed their looks and before they could say some stupid shit again, he scoffed. “Yeah, wouldn’t want that.” He dragged the words and looked you in your eyes.
Bastard. But if he thought shit-talking you right in front of you was going to work for him, he was wrong. You raised an eyebrow and went over to them with the drink in your hand. “What makes you think I’d be interested a sleazy snob?”
Kelce and Topper let out an impressed ohhh, getting amused by anything like toddlers. They expected Rafe to treat you like anyone who dared open their mouth against him, scream, spat, or in the least call you names and tell you to fuck off. Rafe just chuckled. “M’pretty sure you’d beg on your knees for me, sweetheart.”
His eyes sparkled, remembering you on your knees for him, in multiple occasions. You always talked back to him, told him to go to hell, and willingly choked on his cock anyway.
You wanted to spat something back at him, but Topper cleared his throat. “We could’ve lit the damn fire with the sparks flying off you two.”
In that moment you and Rafe both snapped out of raising eyebrows and eye-fucking eachother, frowning.
“Bullshit.” Rafe mumbled and turned his back to you, returning to whatever activities the kooks were up to before. You sighed annoyed and left the situation as well.
Some time went by, more alcohol was spilled, more people got wasted and left or came to join. You were chatting with a guy, Nolan, he was a pogue, a shy yet intelligent guy, a bit skimmish but handsome regardless. He was scratching the back of his neck, trying to explain to you something about space, and you were wasted enough to actually find it interesting. Or maybe he was just hot, so anything he was yapping about to you sounded good.
He was hot, yes, but there was a spark missing to him. You weren’t planning on anything, also not really interested in any guys now, Rafe fucked you so hard each night to the point you didn’t even have any energy left in you anyway, but just talking to someone handsome and well-spoken was nice.
Rafe was watching for a while now, hands restless with taps, shakes or the need to fidget with something. His pupils were blown from the mix of alcohol and multiple drugs he took that night, and his mind was foggy. He stopped caring about staying calm, and stormed off to you, pushing Nolan off, towering over him, using his much bigger body to it’s adventage. “Get fucking lost.” He spat in his face, shoving him away from you.
You froze, not expecting Rafe to do this… not here, not around so many people. To your even bigger surprise Nolan actually spat back, glaring up at Rafe. “Why the fuck would I? She your girl?” He asked mockingly.
Rafe grabbed his collar, and threw him backwards, he was ready to throw himself at the guy and probably break a few of his bones, but Topper and Kelce held him back. Nolan gave you a look in the midst of it all, rubbing his shoulder. “You coming?”
But you didn’t move. You just gave the tiniest shake of your head and Nolan finally left with a scoff. Topper and Kelce looked at each other, and then let go of their grips on Rafe. “The fuck was that?”
“Yeah, bro, are you and the pogue—“
“Shut the fuck up,” Rafe shoved them both off him, ignoring peoples attention on him. Pretty much everyone was staring now, all kooks, pogues, anyone here saw his little tantrum over you.
All that fuss over you, all those eyes on you now, only for him to say “As if I’d get with some fucking pogue. She’s nothing.” He spat and went off, leaving you there, with all the eyes on you and a poisonous feeling in your chest.
You left the party right away and approximately two minutes after the whole scene Rafe was spamming your phone for the rest of the night.

Ray: Slut
Ray: Fuck you
03:27
Ray: I’m sorry
And on top of that, countless missed calls. But that was it for you. You didn’t go home, spent the night with your pogue friends over at the Chateau, and never texted Rafe again, didn’t pick his phone calls and ignored him when he tried to talk to you. Eventually he stopped trying, but whenever he saw you again, his eyes would linger too long.
Four months of bliss and peace from his toxic ass.
“Fuck off,” he mumbled and pulled away from you, his whole body shaking from anger.
“Shut the fuck up and sit down,” you snarled at him and he rolled his eyes, but sat down on the bathtub just to get rid of you as soon as possible. You climbed in between his legs and harshly cleaned his cuts and wounds, but he didn’t even flinch.
“You’re a fucking loser, y’know that?” He mumbled and you pressed into one of the wounds, this time he did twitch a bit. “No, I mean it. Takin’ care of the guy who treated you like shit…” he mumbled, aiming it more at himself. You stopped for a second, thinking about what he said.
“At least you reali—“ you wanted to say but he cut you off.
“You miss my dick that badly?” He looked up at you with a grin.
“Shut up.”
“No, no. You followed me like a horny dog, others can’t fuck you that good?” He kept rambling.
“Rafe.” You warned him but he only grinned again, amused that he was getting to you.
“Well, I miss fucking you too, y’know.” He whispered like it was a big secret and you rolled your eyes… not allowing him to see that your stomach flipped and your knees got weaker.
“I don’t, you were pretty mid.” You scoffed and he laughed this time.
“Yeah? That’s why you were shaking and crying for more every time?” He whispered as he leaned closer to you. He was so tall that even when he was sitting down his head was almost at level with yours.
He softly kissed your collarbone, inhaling your scent that he missed so much.
“Stop it,” you pulled back from him and shoved on his shoulder. He actually whined, spoiled fucking kid, you thought, can’t handle not getting something he wants. You took his hand in yours to clean off his bloody knuckles, and he just smiled to himself, being smart for once and shutting up, enjoying the touch.
You didn’t even know why you were here, with Rafe instead of JJ. Of course out of all the people, Rafe had to jump after one of your friends. They messed each other up bad, both bleeding. JJ had broken ribs and blood running down his nose and mouth, he ended up worse but JJ had Kiara and Sarah running towards him and Rafe had no one there.
You were frozen when his shaky and wet eyes met yours. He was so angry, but you also knew, so alone. Fuck. You went over to him and shoved his back towards the bathroom.
“You’re so fucking stupid.” You said now, wiping blood off his lip.
“Fuckin’ hate him,” he mumbled and closed his eyes under your touch, his hand finding the back of your thigh and squeezing that spot, his thumb drawing circles into your skin, right below your ass. You let him.
“I know, you hate all pogues.” You mumbled, annoyed with him and pulled on his hair harshly to make him lean his head back so you could finish cleaning off the blood staining his chin. Rafe let out a satisfied sound at the rough tug, but frowned when your words settled.
He wanted to tell you he didn’t hate you. That he could never hate you. That you were the only thing on his mind to the point he might actually start hating you tho. Instead, he let his mind spill other words. “Do you fuck him?”
“What?” You stopped cleaning his chin and looked at him, frowning and ready to beat the shit out of him too. His squeeze at your thigh became firmer, and he looked at you again.
“JJ, do you let JJ fuck what’s mine,” he mumbled again and brushed his nose against the pulse on your neck, missing how he used to bite that spot freely. He let out a weak breath, warming up your skin.
“No,” you replied simply.
Rafe exhaled again, and used his free hand to tap against your wrist, “and someone else?” His fingers wrapped around your wrist, squeezing. He could probably cut off your blood flow if you gave him an answer he didn’t like.
“No, Ray.”
He closed his eyes then and pushed on your thigh to pull you against him, you almost stumbled, and he took the first aid kit from your hands. He hadn’t heard you call him that in so long. Maybe he did hate you, because you made him hate his name. Just Rafe all the time, never Ray.
He placed the first aid kit somewhere behind himself and grabbed both your thighs from behind, lifting you up and forcing you to sit on his lap, the impact of being pushed onto his bulge harsh. One hand then squeezed your hip, glueing you down to him and the other found your chin, squeezing it, forcing you to look at him.
His lap felt too good, the bulge brushing against you, his much bigger body still somehow fitting perfectly under yours, you let out a shaky breath and looked into his eyes, his eyelids heavy and shaky staring at you, as he used his hand on your waist to force you to move against him.
“You fuckin’ left me,” he hissed at you, and squeezed your chin harder. It hurt. Instead of flinching away from him, you rocked your hips and whined when you felt him brush against your already throbbing clit.
“You deserved it, asshole.”
Rafe groaned in response, he pulled you in for a kiss, biting your lower lip, and immediately sliding his tongue into your mouth, messy, desperate, and irritated. You whined against his mouth again and allowed him. You kissed him back just as messily, biting his lip back.
Rafe chuckled and stood up with you, his hands holding your body against his still, and he pushed you against the sink, your back hitting the faucet.
“Ow,” you arched your back.
Rafe rolled his eyes. “Fragile little thing, hm?” His hands pulled your legs apart with force, his body sliding between them and he lifted your dress up, finding your soaking pussy with his fingers already.
“Fuck, baby—“ He gasped into your mouth, biting your lip again, feeling his dick twitch from how soaked you made his hand already.
He pulled you in for another kiss and let his fingers slide inside you with his rings still on, caressing your spongy walls and pumping them in and out slowly. You sucked on his tongue, and moaned against his mouth in pleasure, his fingers already stretching you out good enough to make you come.
His cold rings sent shivers down your spine. You looked down to where your dress was lifted, and his big fingers were pushing in and out of you, soaked so much a few drops fell on the floor.
Just the look at his hand, his veins, his fingers inside you made you shake and squirm, moving your own hips against his hand.
“Shhh, nuh-uh, you made me suffer all this fuckin’ time, you’ll not come that easy.” He pulled back then, leaving you suddenly empty, and you groaned weakly, pushing your hips towards his hand again, needing him but Rafe just shook his head.
He took your wrist and forced your hand on his bulge, groaning when you automatically squeezed him through his pants. “My cock’s been so dry, all your fucking fault.” He mumbled, and guided your fingers towards his belt. You kissed him and unbuckled it fast with shaky hands, pulling his pants and boxers down, giving his dick a few desperate strokes yourself, almost pulling on it to get it closer to your spread legs.
Rafe chuckled at that, and you couldn’t help but to laugh too. “Need you, Ray,” you cooed after the laugh, finding his bicep with your hand and squeezing it, hiding your face in his neck. “Please,” you whispered against his skin.
“Mm, didn’t feel good to not get fucked out huh?” He brushed his head against your folds a few times, you threw your head back and moaned a quiet no. He took his time, his head throbbing against your folds and clit, rubbing against your wet cunt.
His teeth found your neck, biting down hard enough to leave bruises for a week. “Mm, I didn’t fuck anyone else either,” he mumbled and slithered his hand around your body to your back, “I don’t want some whores pussy, just yours, baby—“
“Good. If you fucked someone else I’d kill you.” You mumbled back and pushed his hand away from his dick, rubbing it harder against your cunt, throwing your head back and rocking your hips against it.
That did it for him, Rafe chuckled darkly as he slid inside you, you shut your eyes in the pain, not being used to how big he was after such a long time, but Rafe had all the time in the world now. He kissed the corner of your eye and waited a bit before experimentally thrusted against you. “Fuck,” he whispered, “I just want you. Just need you.”
You found the back of his neck with both your hands, pulling him closer and tugging at his hair. Rafe started to thrust against you, going harsh, rough, sliding into you fully each time, stretching you out, and groaning against your mouth every time your warm walls squished him.
You were a moaning mess, moving your own hips against his, scratching his skin wherever you could, arms, chest, stomach, neck, sucking on his tongue and biting his lips. Your lewd moans mixed with the sounds of your wet pussy being ruined by him.
His hand remained on your back, shielding your skin from hitting the faucet again and again, instead his already bruised hand did, so much to the point his hand started bleeding again, but he didn’t care.
“Ray, baby— fuckkkk.”
His mind went blank at your nicknames. You didn’t call him baby before, and he got addicted to it already. “Mm, ‘m fuckin’ you that good?” His hand, still wet from fingering you before, found your neck and he squeezed as he kept thrusting against you, picking up the pace but still going all in every single time.
“S’fuckin’ good,” you moaned again and squeezed his waist with your legs, pulling him closer to you, making him almost stumble on top of you. “S’big, so fuckin’ big.”
“Mm, keep takin’ it,” he grabbed your chin and made you look into his eyes. You held eye contact while your eyes sparkled and mouth kept gasping for air, such pretty fucked out face. Your spongy walls felt so warm it made his head spin.
“Open your mouth,” Rafe growled and you obeyed immediately, opening your mouth and sticking your tongue out for him, looking into his eyes. He spat into your mouth, and you swallowed it with a grin, giving his chin a bite in return, licking some of the blood from the fight off.
The sounds of skin slamming against skin filled the bathroom, muting out the sounds of the party outside. He wondered if they could hear your moans over the music, the thought sending electric spikes into his stomach, making him go harder against you, slamming against you roughly, making your whole body ache.
“Hey, hey,” he grabbed your thights and pushed them apart more, shoving his body closer to yours, fucking you deeper, “scream for me, let them hear you belong to me.” He whispered under your ear and kissed your neck again, leaving purple bruises.
“Rafe,” you whined, but it wasn’t good enough for him.
“Louder,” he growled and pushed fully into you again, pushing his big dick to the edge, past your limits to the point you could feel him in your stomach, his fingers found your soaked cunt and rubbed your core, feeling your body shake against his. For a moment his hand left your back so he could grab your throat again, squeezing hard, making you arch your back and see stars from the lack of air.
“Rafe! Fuck, baby—“ you moaned louder, your own nails digging into his skin… still not good enough. Rafe growled and pushed your head against the mirror behind you, his fingers tilting your chin sideways while he still squeezed your throat.
“See what a little slut you are?” He moaned himself, feeling his dick twitch inside you, his grip on your hair tightened, he glued the side of your head against the mirror, his thrusts becoming needier, messier, sloppy but still fast. Still so fucking deep.
You looked at your face in the mirror, eyes glossy and mouth open, making sounds for him, looked at him behind you, his body towering over you, trapping you under him, your shaky breaths leaving the image foggy. Your back was hitting the faucet, for sure creating bruises, but all you could feel was Rafes throbbing dick hitting that weak spot inside you.
“RAFE!” You screamed now, watching how drunk he was on that sound in the mirror, his eyes rolling back, his own knees giving out. “Baby,’m gonna—“
“Yeah, come on my dick, baby, I got you,” he pushed your head against the mirror again, forcing you to watch. You looked at where his dick was filling you, sliding in and out and how his hands on your body were shaking.
“I don’t hate every pogue,” Rafe let out through his shaky breaths and moans, resting his forehead against the crook of your neck, “I never hated you.”
You felt your own legs hurt and shake, your whole body on fire as your stomach snapped inside. You screamed his name, grabbed onto him, pulled his body closer against yours, moaned so damn loud and weak for him.
That was it for him too, he squeezed your clit in between his fingers one more time before his cum filled you up, your fucked out cunt so full of him, still so warm.
He could barely breathe, his head stayed resting against your neck, his dick still inside you, pushing the cum deeper into you. You felt on fire inside, stuffed with him. You were both sweaty, your chest rising against his.
A few minutes went by of just staying like this. Then it all started to come to your senses, the bruises on your thighs, the burning skin all over your neck and chest, the numbness in your legs, and your back hurt so fucking bad from the faucet.
“Shit,” you mumbled and Rafe finally looked up at you, pulling slightly back, but still close, still holding your body and still inside you.
“Hm?” He just mumbled and kissed one of the bruises he left on your neck. “You’re a mess,” he mumbled and chuckled against your skin.
“Your fault.” You whispered, stubborn but not willing to move at all. When he finally pulled back properly, his cum leaked down your legs, your dress was wet and messy as well.
“Yeah,” he smirked, smugness evident in his voice. Asshole. “Wanna come to Tannyhill with me?”
You left the party together. You tried to clean up, but everything about you was still a mess. Rafe threw his arm around your shoulders, shielding you from the people at the party and shamelessly leading you outside to his car.

“ouhh, this is cute.” you grab a white, linen midi dress hanging on the clothing rack. staring up and down of the design on the dress. its flowy and stops at your shin. you held the dress on your body, watching how good it would look. “i could wear this to topper’s boat party.”

your face scrunched up in a frown. “c’mon, ray, this is pretty. white is my color, it makes me look classy.”

CHAPTER 3
The next day? Rafe was everywhere.
At parties, he would sit down beside you and sling an arm around your shoulder, pulling you in close like he belonged there. On your days off he’d invite you to his place, where you’d actually start with watching a movie like a normal couple—curled up on his couch, his fingers lazily playing with your hair.
But when you were at work? He would spend all day looking at you, not looking away for a second. Those blue eyes tracking every move you made behind the bar, every smile, every step. It was constant. You just smiled back every time you noticed him.
But unfortunately, Cherry also seemed to notice it too. You looked up from the counter you were wiping, noticing cherry just staring at you. You awkwardly chuckled, “what?”
“What the fuck is wrong with him?” She had her eyebrows knitted. “What’s wrong with him?” you asked, starting to wipe the counter again before dragged you through the door into the dimly lit kitchen, the clatter of the restaurant fading behind you. “Hey, what are you doing—“
She crossed her arms like she was uncomfortable. “What the hell is wrong with him.” She repeated.
You blinked, “What?”
“Y’know…” She waved her hand in the air like she was trying to summon the words. “He’s acting all… like that?”
You leaned against the fridge, letting out a whispered scoff. “What exactly?”
Cherry stared at you, dead serious. “He’s acting like he’s obsessed with you after he genuinely made it clear to you that he hated you for the past what? Ten years?”
“And he’s like… staring at you for the whole freaking day, and it’s like really fucking creepy.” She shrugged, hugging herself with her arms.
“It’s… i don’t know…” You shrugged. “Different now, Cher. He likes me back.”
Before Cherry could argue back. Fred, the head chef came striding toward the industrial fridge you were both leaning against.
“Excuse me, ladies,” he said sarcastically, reaching between you two, “but aren’t you supposed to be serving customers instead of chit-chatting?”
“Yeah, yeah, Fred.” You rolled your eyes and pushed off the fridge. Cherry followed you out, still confused as hell as you headed back toward the bar you muttered under your breath, “Maybe just be happy for me instead of bitching about it—”
“Hey, baby.” Rafe was already there, leaning against the bar directly infront of the doorway like he’d been waiting for you to reappear. Arms resting on the polished wood, that signature half-smirk on his face.
“Holy fuck—” You jumped, heart slamming against your ribs. He was so goddamn unpredictable.
“Oh, shit, I’m sorry… didn’t mean to scare you, babe,” Rafe said quickly, straightening up. His voice dropped softer, almost apologetic, but his eyes were still locked on you the way they had been all week. He reached across the bar and brushed his fingers over your wrist. “I missed you.”
You glanced sideways at Cherry, who was straight-up giving you the what the fuck? face, eyebrows raised so high they nearly disappeared into her hairline. You shook your head at her, trying to play it cool.
“No, no, it’s okay…” you told Rafe, exhaling. “You need anything?”
He didn’t even pretend to look at the menu. His gaze stayed on your face, thumb still tracing slow circles on the inside of your wrist. “Just you. Been standing here watching you disappear into the back for too long.” The smirk returned, a little sharper this time. “Thought maybe you were hiding from me.”
“I was gone for a minute—” you started, trying to laugh it off. Rafe’s expression shifted. The smirk dropped into a full pout, brows pulling together in that dramatic, almost childish way he got when he felt ignored. “Doesn’t matter. You were avoiding me, weren’t you?”
“What? No, I wasn’t—” you nervously chuckled, glancing around. A couple of customers were already starting to look over.
Rafe didn’t drop it. His voice got louder, carrying across the bar the way it did when he was spiraling. He straightened up, hands gripping the edge of the wood hard enough that his knuckles whitened. “Bullshit. You go in the back with her, whispering about me, and suddenly you’re gone for fucking ever. What, you embarrassed of me now? After everything?”
A few heads turned. An older couple at the end of the bar paused mid-bite. Fred poked his head out from the kitchen window, frowning. You stepped closer to the bar quickly, lowering your voice to a whisper. “Rafe, baby. I wasn’t avoiding you, okay? Cherry was just asking questions, that’s all.“
Then his pout slowly disappeared when your hand found his across the bar, then he picked it up to nuzzle his cheek against it. “Sleep at my house tonight?”
“Yeah… yeah, okay.” you nodded, taking your hand away reluctantly to pretend to make a new drink.
𑣲
You’d gone back to his place after your shift, you guys watched a movie as usual but you dozed off halfway.
You groaned, half awake and rubbing your eyes before something made your eyes flutter open in the dark, The room was pitch black except for the faint glow of the moon coming through the blinds. You shifted under the covers and froze.
Rafe was standing right beside the bed, shirtless in just his sweatpants, staring down at you. He wasn’t moving. Just watching. Head slightly tilted, that unblinking gaze fixed on your sleeping face like he’d been there for hours already.
You checked the clock on his nightstand, 3:05 AM in bright blue led.
“Rafe…?” you whispered, voice thick with sleep as you propped yourself up on one elbow.
He didn’t startle. “I like watching you sleep here,” he said quietly, voice low and rough in the silent room. “You look so fucking peaceful. Like you belong in my bed. Like you’re finally mine and the whole world can’t touch us.”
He crawled on the bed towards you, gently brushing his knuckles along your cheek. “Sweetheart, i love you so so so so so so much, i don’t think i could live without you.”
Your breath hitched, you let out a shaky breath. “more than anyone in the world?”
“Yes… more than anyone.” You could see the outline of his smirk in the dark. “Sometimes I think about what I’d do if you tried to leave me now,” he added, the words casual but heavy. “Wouldn’t let it happen, though. You know that, right, baby?”
He said it like it was the most romantic thing in the world. Then he got into the bed and pulled the blankets over himself, falling asleep like nothing happened.
You watched him, eyes widened while you hesitantly laid back down. You stared into the ceiling, not sleeping through the night.
𑣲
Sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting soft stripes across the bed. You stirred slowly, eyelids heavy, and blinked up to find Rafe already awake.
He was propped up on one elbow, looking down at you. Again. That same intense, unblinking stare from the night before, like he’d been watching you sleep for a while. His free hand rested lightly on your waist, thumb tracing small circles over the fabric of your shirt. “Morning, baby.”
The memory of waking up at 3am to him standing beside the bed hit you all at once. “Rafe…” you murmured, shifting under his gaze. “About last night… you can’t do that again. Waking up to you just standing there, watching me? It freaked me out. Like, really fucking freaked me out.” You murmured, not wanting him to get pissed off again.
He blinked, then nodded slowly. His expression softened immediately, that guilty-puppy look crossing his face. “Shit, baby. I’m sorry,” he said, voice still rough with sleep. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead. “I didn’t mean to freak you out. I just… I like seeing you here. Peaceful. In my bed. But I won’t do it again, okay? I promise. I never want to scare you. You know that, right?”
You searched his face. He looked sincere—eyes soft, brows slightly furrowed in apology. He even pulled you closer, rubbing your back like he was trying to make up for it right then and there. “Yeah… okay,” you whispered, relaxing a little into his touch. “Just… no more standing over me while I sleep.”
He nodded again, pressing another kiss to your temple. “Never again. I’ve got you. I’ll be better, i swear.”
You let out a small breath of relief and turned your head, glancing around the room as you started to wake up more fully.
Thats when you saw it.
The bedroom door. It was shut… and hundreds of strips of silver duct tape had been run across it—multiple long, messy strips sealing the door to the frame.
“If you’re gonna have trouble with the tape maybe you should just take a day off.” He mumbled, you looked at in horror.
You let out a shaky breath, “no… no, i got it.”

rafe cameron x jealous reader (part one)
warnings- angst
summary- rafe and y/n has been in a secret relationship for six months, but when a girl gets too close to rafe at a party, y/n jealousy boil over.
—————————————————-——————-
The music pounded through the Cameron beach house, the bass vibrating beneath your feet as people laughed, danced, and shouted over one another. Red cups littered every surface, and someone had already jumped into the pool fully clothed.
You hated parties like this.
Not because of the noise.
Because you couldn’t stand next to your boyfriend.
No one knew you and Rafe Cameron had been together for almost six months. The relationship had started in secret after one late-night conversation turned into another, and somehow, beneath all of Rafe’s walls and sharp edges, you’d found someone who looked at you like you mattered.
Keeping it hidden was supposed to protect both of you.
Lately, it just hurt.
From across the room, you watched Rafe lean against the kitchen counter, laughing at something Topper had said.
Then she walked over.
Tall. Blonde. Perfect smile.
You’d seen her around Figure Eight before. She slipped beside Rafe like she belonged there, placing a hand on his arm as she laughed.
Your stomach tightened.
Rafe smiled politely, saying something back, but she only moved closer.
Too close.
She touched his shoulder.
Then his chest.
Then leaned in until she was practically whispering in his ear.
You gripped your drink harder.
Sarah wandered beside you, following your gaze.
“She’s been talking to him for like ten minutes.”
“I noticed.”
Sarah raised an eyebrow. “You okay?”
You forced a smile.
“I’m fine.”
You weren’t.
Across the room, the girl laughed loudly before brushing imaginary lint off Rafe’s shirt.
He didn’t pull away.
Your chest ached.
“He could at least move.”
Instead, he stayed where he was.
Maybe because making a scene would’ve looked suspicious.
Maybe because he didn’t care.
You couldn’t tell anymore.
Without another word, you set your drink down and slipped out onto the back deck.
The salty night air hit your face immediately.
You wrapped your arms around yourself, staring out toward the dark ocean.
A minute later, the sliding door opened.
“You disappeared.”
You didn’t turn around.
“What do you want, Rafe?”
His footsteps stopped behind you.
“I’ve been looking for you.”
“Funny.”
Silence.
“You looked pretty busy.”
“I was talking.”
“She was flirting with you.”
“I know.”
You finally spun around.
“So why didn’t you stop her?”
His jaw clenched.
“Because if I shoved her away, everyone would’ve wondered why.”
“Oh, please.”
“I’m serious.”
“You could’ve walked away.”
“And walked straight over to you?” he snapped. “That would’ve been real subtle.”
You folded your arms tighter.
“So instead you just let her touch you?”
His patience visibly cracked.
“You’re acting ridiculous.”
Your heart sank.
“Ridiculous?”
“Yeah.”
You laughed bitterly.
“I’m ridiculous because I didn’t enjoy watching another girl practically hang off my boyfriend?”
“You know she’s nothing to me.”
“Then act like it!”
“I was trying to protect us!”
“And what about me?” your voice shook. “Do you have any idea what it feels like standing there pretending I don’t know you while some girl flirts with you in front of everyone?”
His expression softened for only a second before frustration returned.
“This is why I didn’t want to tell anybody.”
You froze.
“…What?”
“Because everything gets complicated.”
Your eyes filled immediately.
“So I’m the complication?”
“No—that’s not what I—”
“You just said it.”
“I didn’t.”
“You basically did.”
He ran both hands through his hair.
“Y/N, stop twisting my words.”
“I’m not twisting anything.”
The hurt in your voice echoed louder than the music inside.
“You know what the worst part is?”
Rafe stayed silent.
“I would’ve moved.”
His brows furrowed.
“If some guy was all over me tonight…” you whispered, “…I would’ve found a way to get away from him.”
He stared at you.
“I would’ve chosen you.”
For the first time that night, Rafe looked genuinely shaken.
“I do choose you.”
“It didn’t feel like it.”
The words landed like a punch.
Neither of you spoke.
The ocean crashed quietly in the distance.
Finally, you swallowed the lump in your throat.
“I think I’m gonna go home.”
You stepped around him.
His hand caught your wrist.
“Don’t.”
You pulled away gently.
“I need space.”
His shoulders dropped.
He didn’t stop you again.
As you walked down the driveway, you could feel his eyes following you.
For once, he didn’t know what to say.
And somehow…
That hurt even more.
UMMM HELLO??????!!??!!
these pics omggg
an: just clearing out the drafts so if this is shitty sorry!!
the worst part wasn’t that rafe lied.
it was how easy he made it look.
you stood barefoot on the tarmac outside tanneyhill, arms wrapped around yourself against the ocean wind while rain soaked through the thin hoodie you’d stolen from him months ago. the same hoodie he used to pull over your head after late-night drives. the same one that still smelled faintly like his cologne and cigarette smoke.
and now all you could think about was her hands on him instead.

CHAPTER 2
You took a deep breath, staring at the two pieces of wood on your nightstand. It probably didn’t work. You’re just literally delusional.
The rejection played on repeat in your head—every cruel word, the way he laughed at you, the disgust in his eyes. Fresh tears stung as you wiped your face and tried to pull yourself together.
Your phone buzzed on the bed beside you. You snatched it up immediately, heart leaping for half a second, only to see Cherry’s name on the screen.
Cherry 2:34 am
“Hey, sorry i didn’t come back earlier. Lowk found a big dick tourist 😍 sorry for being selfish, i’ll go to your house tomorrow. Pinky promise.”
You groaned loudly and flopped back onto your pillows, tossing the phone aside. Of course it wasn’t him. Why the hell would it be?
A few minutes later, your phone buzzed again. Then it started ringing—once, twice—before going to voicemail. It was probably Cherry feeling guilty again anyway.
You picked it up lazily… and froze.
1 New Voicemail — Rafe Cameron
“What the fuck?” Your stomach flipped. You stared at the screen for a long second before tapping play, pressing the phone tight to your ear.
Rafe’s voice came through, low and rough, like he’d been pacing while recording it.
“Uh… hey. It’s, uh… it’s Rafe. Look, I— fuck.” He let out a heavy breath, clearly frustrated. “I was a dick earlier. Like… a real asshole. I didn’t… I don’t know why I said all that shit to you. You caught me off guard and I just—uhhh…I reacted like shit, you know…”
There was a long pause. You could hear him shifting, probably running a hand through his hair the way he did when he was agitated.
“Look… if you’re not too pissed at me, maybe we could meet up at my place tomorrow night? Just to talk or whatever. I don’t know. You can text me if you want. Or not. Whatever.”
The voicemail ended.
Did he just?
You sat up and looked at the voicemail, pinching yourself until it bruised to see if this was just a dream. This is crazy.
You looked at the pieces of wood on your nightstand, did this shit really just work? Your thumb hovered over the screen, heart pounding as you stared at his contact.
You listened to the voicemail two more times, biting your lip hard. Your fingers hovered over the keyboard for what felt like forever before you finally typed out a short reply.
Y/n 3:00
“sure.”
You hit send before you could overthink it, then locked your phone and dropped it on the bed.
𑣲
You and Cherry were sitting on the old couch in the back employee lounge after your shift, both exhausted but too wired to go home yet. The club had been busy again, and your feet were killing you.
Cherry was sprawled out, legs thrown over the armrest, sipping on a stolen bottle of water. She had that post-hookup glow about her and wasn’t shy about it.
“Girl, that tourist last night? Holy shit,” she said with a wicked grin, fanning herself dramatically. “He fucked me so good I almost forgot my own name. Like, tall, British accent, knew exactly what he was doing. Best dick I’ve had in months. I’m not even kidding.”
You laughed despite yourself, shaking your head, she tends to literally share too much info but you didn’t mind since she was your bestfriend.
She shrugged, unapologetic. “Anyways—what happened to you last night? you know you shouldn’t drunk drive—“
You shook your head, “no, no, no… i wasn’t, drunk. It’s just… i confessed to rafe and he—“ You scratched your head, not knowing how to word it. “He laughed in my face. Called me a pathetic Pogue stalker, said I should go fuck one of the pogue guys instead, and basically told me to stay away from him. It was humiliating as hell.”
Cherry’s jaw dropped. “What the fuck? He’s such a piece of shit.”
“Yeah, but it was weird because later that night he left me a voicemail,” you continued, cheeks warming. “He apologized. Sounded super awkward about it. Said he felt bad and… he asked if I wanted to meet up. At his place tonight.”
Cherry’s eyes went wide before she made a weirded out smile. “Really? Didn’t he just reject you?”
“Maybe he felt sorry.” You didn’t tell her about the one wish willow, not wanting to seem crazy.
“Whatever girl, just don’t want you to get hurt with the games he’s playing.” She sat up straight, a mischievous smile spreading across her face. “He might lay you thooo.”
She teased, nudging your leg with her foot. “From crying in the parking lot to getting invited to Tannyhill? That’s a plot twist. Rafe Cameron apologizing and inviting you over? Girl, the universe is wild.”
You rolled your eyes, but a nervous flutter settled in your stomach. “It’s probably not like that. He just wants to talk, I guess.”
“No guy literally wants to just talk if he’s inviting you over to his place.” Cherry smirked. “Just wear something cute tonight.”
You shoved her playfully, laughing despite the mix of anxiety and excitement twisting inside you. You still hadn’t told her about the One Wish Willow. Some things felt too crazy to admit out loud.
𑣲
You walked out of the bar in slow steps, still texting Cherry and lowkey kinda waiting for Rafe’s text. You laughed quietly at a meme she sent, the screen lighting up your face, before you looked up—and your heart almost stopped.
Rafe was standing under the streetlight across the parking lot, truck parked right beside him like he’d been there a while. The glow cut sharp shadows across his face, hands in his pockets, eyes already fixed on you. “Jesus Christ—“ you breathed.
He started walking toward you immediately, shoes scraping softly against the concrete. No rush, but no hesitation either. When he got close enough, he tilted his head slightly, that intense blue stare softening just a fraction when he saw how startled you were.
“Didn’t mean to scare you,” he said, voice low and rough, a little gravel from the humid night air.
“Y—you’ve been standing there all night?” You blinked. I mean, for god’s sake it was 2am in the morning.
“Yeah… pretty much,” he admitted, voice low and rough like he’d been chain-smoking while waiting. “I got here like four and a half hours ago. Saw Cherry leave and figured you’d be coming out soon after. Didn’t feel like sitting in the truck the whole time.”He shrugged one shoulder, trying to play it casual but failing. His gaze stayed locked on you, intense as always.
Rafe shifted his weight, hands sliding back into his pockets as he glanced around the empty lot for a second before his eyes returned to yours “It’s 2am, you’re out here by yourself… I wasn’t leaving till I saw you.”
His tone dropped a little, almost defensive. “That weird to you or something?”
You blinked again, caught off guard. “What? i—… no, it’s not weird at all.”
“Uh… okay, good, good,” he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. He looked almost relieved.
There was a beat of awkward silence before he jerked his head toward his truck. “C’mon. It’s late as shit. I’m not letting you Uber or walk or whatever.”
He didn’t really wait for an answer. Rafe started walking, expecting you to follow like it was the most natural thing in the world. When you fell into step beside him, he opened the passenger door for you—something he would never do… but tonight he did?
The drive was quiet at first, windows down, humid night air rolling in. Rafe kept one hand on the wheel, the other tapping restlessly on his thigh. Every few minutes his eyes would flick over to you, checking.
Eventually he broke the silence. “We’re going to my place,” he said. It wasn’t really a question. “Figured we could talk there. Or not talk. Whatever. My family’s out on the mainland, so it’s empty.”
He glanced at you again as he turned onto the long road toward Figure Eight, his voice dropping. “You cool with that?”
You stared at him, a strange chill running down your spine. This was all so creepy. How could a person switch this fast?
“I said, are you cool with that?” he repeated, flashing a grin that was surprisingly playful instead of mocking.
“Yeah,” you forced a chuckle, fidgeting with the loose string on your ripped jeans. “I’m cool with it.”
𑣲
Tannyhill was dark and empty when you pulled up. Rafe led you inside, the huge house feeling way too big and quiet. He didn’t bother turning on many lights—just enough to see.
You both stood awkwardly in the living room for a moment. Rafe rubbed the back of his neck, looking uncharacteristically unsure of himself.
“So… uh, you want something to drink?” he asked, gesturing vaguely toward the kitchen. “Beer? Water? My dad’s got some expensive whiskey if you’re into that.”
You shook your head. “I’m okay.”
He nodded, pacing a couple steps before stopping in front of you. The silence stretched.
“Look,” he started, voice rough, “I meant what I said in the voicemail. I was a dick last night.” But before you can respond? He suddenly closed the distance, grabbing your face with both hands and kissing you hard. There was nothing gentle about it—it was hungry, desperate, and overwhelming. His body pressed against yours as he backed you toward the oversized couch, hands already sliding under your shirt.
You gasped a bit, but you let him. Why wouldn’t you? you’ve dreamed of this ever since you saw him even though he completely ignored you.
Clothes came off fast after that.
You moaned while he literally drilled you into the couch, they were right. His cock was big… it was eight inches and three fingers thick, you were positive. He gripped and slapped your tits. “You wanted this, huh? So fucking good for me.”
His hand rubbed your clit before turning you to lay on your back, entering inside your wet pussy again which made you arch your back. “Yeah? gonna cum, huh?”
He twisted a hand in your hair before he pressed his forehead to yours, he looked directly into your eyes. Right as intensity built to its peak? “WHAT THE FUCK!?” Rafe yelled and jerked back, pushing away from you sharply. He stumbled off the couch, breathing hard, eyes wide with confusion and panic as he stared at you.
You sat up quickly, flinching as you pulled the little blanket to cover yourself, heart pounding from both the sex and the sudden whiplash.
Then he was back again, “Oh shit—shit, I’m sorry,” he muttered, voice rough and rattled. “I don’t… I don’t know what the fuck that was.”
“Shit—you scared me, Rafe!” You clutched the sheets tighter to your chest. “Fuck… I didn’t mean to scare you,” he said, voice lower now, almost apologetic, but the hunger was already winning again. “I just—I can’t stop thinking about you. It’s messing with my head. C’mere.”
His hand found your thigh, sliding up as he leaned in again, the momentary break already crumbling.
After a while? The living room was dark except for the low glow of a single lamp. You were tangled up on the big couch, skin still warm. Rafe had you pulled tight against his chest, one arm locked around your waist like he was scared you’d disappear if he loosened up even a little. He was half-asleep, lips lazily dragging across the side of your neck.
You couldn’t relax the same way. The memory from earlier—the way he’d jumped off you—kept replaying in your head, it was scary as hell.
You swallowed hard and whispered into the quiet, “Rafe… do you like me?”
He went still for a second. Then a low, sleepy chuckle rumbled against your neck, the sound rough and genuine. His arm tightened around you, pulling you impossibly closer as he nuzzled his face deeper into your skin.
“Yeah… yeah, I do,” he mumbled, voice thick with sleep and that cocky edge he could never fully drop. “I like you.”
He kissed your neck again, slower this time, almost like a claim. Then he added, quieter.
“…But I love you.”

CHAPTER 1
The bar at the country club was buzzing with the usual crowd of rich Kooks—polos pressed to perfection and the clink of expensive whiskey glasses echoing under the chandelier light. You and your best friend had been slinging drinks all evening like the well-oiled machines you were. Except tonight, you weren’t really serving anyone. Your eyes were locked on him.
Rafe Cameron.
He was lounging at one of the high-top tables near the windows, broad shoulders stretching the fabric of his gray button-down, sweaty from golf and that signature cocky smirk playing on his lips as he talked to his usual friends, topper and kelce. His hair was slicked back in that hot way, and every time he lifted his glass, the veins in his forearm flexed just enough to make your stomach flip.
“Excuse me? Hello? Miss? I said a glass of bourbon.” The sharp voice finally cut through your haze. A middle aged guy in blue colored polo was waving his empty glass at you from the bar, face already filled with irritation.
“Shit—“You blinked, heat rushing to your cheeks as you fumbled for the bottle of top-shelf bourbon. “Sorry—coming right up—”
But it was too late. Your best friend, Cherry, snapped her fingers right next to your ear. “Earth to lover girl. Table six is about to combust.”
The customer slammed his hand on the polished wood. “Do your damn job or I’ll have you fired. This isn’t a staring contest, sweetheart.”
You quickly poured his drink, slid it across the bar with an apologetic smile, and watched him storm off muttering about “incompetent staff.” The second he was gone, Cherry leaned her hip against the counter beside you, arms crossed and a grin spreading across her face.
“Looking at Rafe again?” she teased, bumping your shoulder. “Babe, you’re gonna get us both canned if you keep eye-fucking the kook prince every shift. Though I get it—he’s like, stupid hot. But damn, at least pretend you’re not one second away from climbing over the bar and crawling into his lap.”
You groaned, burying your face in your hands for a second before peeking through your fingers. “I wasn’t that obvious, was I?”
Cherry let out a humorless laugh. “You were practically drooling.”
“Pfft… no, I wasn’t?” You let out a laugh, but it died quickly as your smile disappeared. “I wasn’t, right?”
“Whatever.” She shrugged, shaking up a cocktail with practiced flicks of her wrist. “What do you like about him anyways? Besides being hot and allegedly having a big dick, he’s a spoiled asshole.”
“I don’t know… he’s just like—”
Cherry’s eyes suddenly widened, fixed on something over your shoulder while she poured the drink. “Oh my god—he’s coming over.”
“Wait, what… now?” Your eyes widened too. Your whole body went stiff, pulse skyrocketing as Cherry nodded frantically, trying and failing to hide her smirk.
You barely had time to turn before Rafe Cameron was already at the bar, sliding into the exact spot he’d occupied earlier. Up close like this, he was even more overwhelming—tall and super hot. His jaw was tight, like he was annoyed about something, but his eyes locked onto you with focus.
He didn’t even glance at Cherry.
“Same thing,” he said, tapping the bar with two fingers. His voice was low and impatient. You smiled, remembering his order like always. “Coming right up.
As you turned to take the whiskey bottle from the shelf, Cherry gave you a look saying ‘see? he’s a complete asshole’. You just rolled your eyes and smiled.
You went back up infront of him while his gaze dropped to your name tag for half a second before flicking back up to your face.
“You’re one of the Pogues they got working here, huh?” he said, the word Pogue rolling off his tongue with casual hate, like it was both an observation and an insult. A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Explains why you’ve been eye fucking me all night instead of doing your job. What, you think staring hard enough is gonna make me notice you or something?”
Your smile disappeared, “I um… i haven’t—“
Rafe scoffed. Rafe leaned in a little closer, voice dropping. “You see… uh, guys like me don’t usually go for girls who spend their nights wiping down bars for tips.” He gave a cruel smirk, taking the fresh drink from your hand and took a sip of the whiskey. “Might wanna keep your eyes to yourself before you embarrass yourself more, pogue.”
Rafe threw a twenty on the counter before he turned and walked back toward his table. You stood there frozen, cheeks burning hot with embarrassment as the weight of his words settled in. Pogue. The way he’d said it hit harder than you expected. Even if you’d fantasized about him noticing you a million times, you hadn’t imagined it going quite like that.
Cherry gave you a sympathetic wince from the other side of the bar. “Oof. That was rough.”
𑣲
You barely made it through the rest of your shift without replaying the moment on loop. By the time you clocked out, your stomach was in knots.
The night air felt sticky and humid as you slid into Cherry’s passenger seat, slamming the door harder than necessary. She started the car and pulled out of the country club lot, the radio playing low in the background.
you groaned, slumping down in the seat and covering your face with both hands. Your voice cracked with humiliation. “Shit—shit, that was so fucking embarrassing… fuck my life.”
Cherry glanced over while keeping her eyes mostly on the dark road. “Yeah… he was kind of a dick about it, i told you that already.”
“I don’t care,” you muttered, even though you did. You cared so much it hurt. “Fuck, i really do.”
She laughed, trying to lighten the mood. “There’s like, other guys out there who want you! Oh—literally Chase, dude.”
“Seriously?” You sat up straighter, groaning. “He’s so annoying. He gave me a fluffy unicorn book last valentine’s!”
Cherry actually cackled, slapping the steering wheel. “You said you liked unicorns!”
“When I was literally twelve,” you shot back, rolling your eyes so hard it hurt. The memory made you cringe even harder now—Chase’s awkward, persistent crush felt like a joke compared to your crush over Rafe.
The car filled with both you and Cherry’s laughter before the conversation got serious again real quick. “But seriously, maybe you should tell him how you feel.”
“And embarrass myself again? he hates me so much.” You huffed, fidgeting with your fingers. “I just want him to love me as much as i love him. Love me more than anyone in the whole fucking world.”
“Keep dreaming, babe.” Cherry pulled up in front of your house and put the car in park. “For real though… you gonna be okay? Rafe’s hot, yeah, but he’s also Rafe. Maybe it’s time to stop staring and move on before you get hurt.”
You forced a small smile, unbuckling your seatbelt. “Yeah. I’m good. Thanks for the ride.”
She rolled her windows down before you can walk away. “also, boneyard party tomorrow at five. Bring clothes, lets partay!”
The second her taillights disappeared down the road, the fake smile dropped. You stood on your porch for a minute.
𑣲
After Cherry dropped you off, you kicked off your shoes and flopped onto your stomach on the bed, laptop open in front of you. The house was quiet, just the low hum of the fan spinning overhead. You mindlessly scrolled through random shit—memes, outfit inspo, drama on the Figure Eight gossip pages—trying to distract yourself from the replay of Rafe’s words burning in your head.
You kept scrolling until a suggested post stopped your thumb cold.
Tips on how to make someone fall inlove with you.
You let out a chuckle like it was the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen but clicking on the link shown anyway, it led you to a reddit site where it showed a bunch of comments.
“Give him gifts.”
“triangle method.”
“Girl, just fuck him and you got him.” |
“lol, love how desperate all you bitches are.”
They were all pretty useless or things you’ve tried before, or a few were straight-up creepy or borderline illegal. Most were things you’d already tried in tiny, half-assed ways before chickening out at the last second.
You were about to close the tab, thoroughly annoyed, when one comment near the bottom caught your eye…
“Try the one wish willow, works like a charm. 100% accurate. Been in my family for generations. No bullshit.”
You raised an eyebrow, hovering over the comment. It looked like one of those sketchy scam ads that pop up everywhere.
You stared at it for a second before groaning and closing the laptop completely, flopping on your back and looking up at the ceiling…
Cherry’s birthday is in a few days… you thought, grasping for any excuse. She does like those weird old taxidermied possums and vintage stuff. I could stop by that antique store on the edge of town and find her something. Totally normal. Not because of some Reddit comment.

The bell ringed when you pushed open the door to the antique shop, the place smelled like dust and old books. You wandered around, pretending to look for Cherry’s gift—picking up a creepy stuffed possum, some vintage jewelry, a weird porcelain doll—before your eyes landed on it.
It was a small and slim box, there was a whole box of it. You walked up to the counter and took one box. “hey, uh… do these actually work?”
The bored woman chewing her gum looked at the box. “dunno, some people say they do and some people don’t. Warnings behind the box.” She shrugged while you put one all of the gifts on the table. “twenty bucks.”
you nodded and payed the twenty bucks before you could talk yourself out of it.
That very night, you were distracted looking at Rafe from a distance, making out with another rich tourist girl while cherry talked to you. “Hey, hey—are you even listening?”
“Uh—what? yeah, yeah.” You nodded, taking a sip of the cheep bear while forcing yourself to look away.
She sighed. “Never mind. You’re hopeless.” She walked away to grab another beer.
When Rafe finally left the girl and headed toward the beach parking lot alone, you followed before you could talk yourself out of it. “Rafe, wait—”
He turned, looking mildly annoyed. “Got something to say?”
You took a shaky breath and let it all spill out. “I… I really like you. A lot. I know I’m just a pogue and you’re… you. But I can’t stop thinking about you. I’ve felt this way for so long. I thought maybe if I told you, there could be something—”
Rafe stared at you for a beat, then let out a harsh, mocking laugh that echoed in the quiet night air. “You’re joking, right?” His voice was cold, dripping with cruelty. “You actually think I’d want you? A broke little Pogue who serves drinks to people like me?”
“That’s fucking hilarious, man.” He laughed mockingly, adjusting his hat.
He stepped closer, towering over you, his face twisted with disgust. “You’ve been creeping on me for weeks like some sad, obsessed stalker and now you’re confessing? Pathetic. Go cry to your pogue friends about it. Maybe one of them will feel bad enough to fuck you. But me? I wouldn’t touch you if you were the last girl on this island.”
Tears flooded your eyes instantly. You tried to hold them back, but they spilled over anyway, hot and humiliating. Rafe just rolled his eyes.
“Great. Now you’re crying. Even worse. Do everyone a favor and stay the fuck away from me.”He turned and walked off toward his truck without a second glance, leaving you standing there shaking.
𑣲
You barely made it to your car before breaking down completely. The drive home was a blur of tears. Once inside your room, you locked the door and sat on the edge of your bed, face buried in your hands.
Cherry’s texts were spamming you, asking where you were and how she’s going home with another guy.
You reached for the One Wish Willow you’d bought earlier—the carved wooden piece still sitting on your nightstand. Your fingers trembled as you picked it up.
Staring at it through blurry eyes, you gripped it tight. “I wish Rafe Cameron loved me more than anyone in the whole entire fucking world.”
You snapped the wooden piece in half with a loud
CRACK.
UGH I LOVED WRITING THIS.

Hottest duo ever
can you do a smut with rafe x kelcies sister?
content warnings. ⸝⸝ fem reader, food play, black!reader, oral sex, hair pulling, fingering, no proof read, dark skin!reader
you feel the cool air of the cameron’s beach house kiss your bare skin as rafe locks the bedroom door behind him. the party downstairs is still raging, kelce and his crew blasting music, but up here it’s just you, rafe, and the can of whipped cream he swiped from the kitchen.
your dark skin glows under the low lamp light, box braids cascading down your back and past your ass like a thick curtain. the diamond anklet he bought you last month sparkles around your ankle every time you shift on the bed.
“been thinkin’ about this all night,” rafe murmurs, voice low and rough as he stalks toward you. he’s already shirtless, board shorts hanging low on his hips, that cocky smirk playing on his lips. “my girl lookin’ too good in that little dress. i had to get you alone.” he whispers.
he peels the thin fabric off you slowly, letting it pool on the floor until you’re naked beneath him. your full tits, the curve of your waist, the way your braids spill over the sheets, rafe’s eyes darken with hunger.
he shakes the whipped cream can, the metal clinking softly, then presses the nozzle against your collarbone. cold white cream spirals out in a thick line down between your breasts, over your stomach, circling each nipple until they’re peaked and aching.
“rafe…” you breathe, arching a little as the chill makes you shiver. “shh, baby. let me taste.” he leans down, tongue dragging slow and hot over your skin, licking the sweetness from your collarbone first. his mouth is greedy, sucking gently at the sensitive spot before moving lower.
he swirls his tongue around one whipped cream covered nipple, pulling it into his mouth with a wet pop that makes you moan. your fingers thread through his hair, tugging as he devours you.
he trails lower, painting more cream along the dip of your hips, then down your thighs. the anklet catches the light as he spreads your legs wider, diamond flashing while he settles between them. rafe sprays a messy line right above your pussy, letting it drip down teasingly before his mouth follows.
his tongue laps it up in long, filthy strokes, sweet cream mixing with your wetness as he eats you like he’s starving. he hums against your clit, the vibration shooting pleasure up your spine.
“fuck, you taste so good,” he growls, voice muffled. one hand grips your thick braid, wrapping it around his fist like a leash while the other holds your thigh open. he adds more whipped cream, making a sticky trail over your folds, then sucks it all off with obscene sounds that echo in the room. your hips buck against his face, braids shifting wildly as you chase the building heat.
rafe doesn’t stop. he fucks you with his tongue, licking every last drop of cream from your dripping cunt until you’re shaking, thighs squeezing around his head. the anklet bounces lightly against his shoulder with every twitch of your leg.
“come on, baby. let me hear you,” he demands, sucking hard on your clit while two fingers slide deep inside you. the pressure snaps, and you cum with a broken moan, body arching off the bed as waves crash through you.
rafe pulls back, lips shiny with cream and your slick, grinning up at you. “we ain’t done yet. got a whole can left.” he sprays a dollop right on the tip of his hard cock, stroking himself slowly. “your turn to clean me up.” he teased.
you sit up, braids falling forward as you lean in, ready to return the favor, tongue swirling around his cream covered length while he watches with light eyes.
he sprays another thick swirl of whipped cream right along his hard cock, from base to tip, the cold making him hiss through his teeth. “clean it up, baby. use that pretty mouth,” he orders, voice rough.
you wrap your fingers around the base, the diamond anklet sparkling as your leg shifts for balance. your dark skin contrasts against his, lips parting as you drag your tongue slow up the underside, licking every sweet drop. the cream mixes with the salty taste of his skin, and you moan around him, taking him deeper. rafe groans, one hand fisting your thick braids to guide you. “fuck yeah… just like that.”
you hollow your cheeks, sucking him down wet and messy, tongue swirling to catch every bit of whipped cream. your head bobs faster, braids swaying with the rhythm while you take him to the back of your throat. rafe’s hips twitch, pushing a little deeper, the wet sounds of your mouth filling the room.
“shit, your mouth feels too good,” he pants, watching your full lips stretch around him. you look up at him through your lashes, eyes watering a little as you work him harder, sucking, licking, stroking what you can’t fit. more cream gets added when he pulls out briefly, only for you to dive back in, slurping it all off like it’s your favorite treat.
his grip tightens in your braids, abs flexing as he gets close. “gonna cum, baby—don’t stop.” he whimpers.
and you don’t! you suck him sloppier, faster, until his cock twitches hard on your tongue. rafe curses loud, hips stuttering as thick ropes of cum spill down your throat. you swallow every drop, milking him through it while the last bits of whipped cream mix with his release. he keeps your head in place for a few seconds longer, breathing heavy, before finally letting go.
you pull off with a soft pop, licking your lips clean and smiling up at him, anklet still glittering on your ankle. rafe drags his thumb across your bottom lip, eyes dark. “good fucking girl.”

In which Rafe and JJ get into a fight that escalates—landing Rafe in the hospital. You’re the only one who cares enough to check if he’s okay.

My little offering to @zyafics 's MRGA campaign! I think it's such a great idea, and I love all the works coming from it <3
.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._..
“Wait, what happened?” Your words cut through the chaos that glommed onto the pogues.
JJ grabbed the ice pack from Pope, and placed it on his jaw with a hiss. He nodded to Sarah to respond to you.
“JJ and Rafe got into it again.” She said bluntly, like it was an everyday occurrence that shouldn’t be met with the shock that you possessed.
You shake your head quickly. “No- no. The part about the bat.”
“Oh, that.” JJ chuckles sadistically, “yeah, I hit him with a bat— right over the head.” He pointed to the back of his head.
Pope chimed in, “it was a long time coming too.”
You stood there with your eyes widened. “Isn’t that a little too far? I- you guys usually use fists, not weapons.”
Everyone turned to face you with identically confused looks. What were you on about? What did you feel? Concern? Disapproval? Why? It’s Rafe. He makes the pogues life a living hell, and though you’re not a pogue, you still detest his behaviour.
Your relationship with Rafe wasn't complicated because, well, it didn’t exist. The two of you knew each other like all kooks kind of know each other. Nods at parties and waves at the wreck. Nothing more. You were always closer to Sarah because she was your age and Rafe was just her older, short-tempered, brother. You stayed out of his way as he seemed like the guy that loathed everyone. But what you didn’t know was that, out of all of Sarah’s friends, he liked you the most. Nothing crazy— not like he bending over backwards for your attention. But, he did sometimes feel a little fuzzy when you’d acknowledge him.
“What’s the big deal? Are we forgetting about the time he and Top literally hit Pope with golf clubs?” Kiara brought up a good point and you felt bad that you had kind of forgotten about that.
You clumsily respond, “that wasn’t to the head. And it didn’t land him in the hospital.” Satisfied with your reasoning, you shook your head and grabbed your jacket and keys, ready to leave.
Pope scoffed and JJ stared at you with a slightly hurt expression. “Can’t believe you’re taking his side.” Pope commented under his breath.
It made you stop in your steps. “I’m not taking sides— I’ve never been on any side ever. This exhausting rivalry is childish, and it’s making everyone act like fucking murderers.” With that, you left.
.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._..
There weren’t many thoughts in your mind as you drove to the hospital. If there were, you would’ve turned around and went home because why in the world were you going to see Rafe? And why was this making you so emotional? Maybe it was due to the substantiality of a hospital. None of these petty fights ever ended in the sirens and stretchers. None that you knew of, at least.
"Name?" The receptionist asked you through a yawn.
You state your name and nervously tap your foot. It was weird. The whole night was weird. You weren’t really sure what you wanted with Rafe, but every time your mind flashed to the image of him lying alone in a hospital room, clutching his head, your worry felt justified. Checking in on him just seemed like the decent thing to do.
This Pogue-versus-Kook war had gone on long enough, and if no one else was willing to cross the line, you would.
"What's your relation to the patient?" she asked, typing away at her computer, unaware of the unintentional difficulty of her question. What’s the word for two people who grew up together, but were also technically strangers?
"Does that matter?" You cringed as you asked.
Her fingers paused on the keyboard and she looked at you with an arched brow. "Ma'am, we have a lot of foot traffic at this moment and Mr. Cameron hasn't informed us of the arrival of any visitors. So, if it isn't pressing, I suggest you come back tomorrow— or see Mr. Cameron when he's discharged—"
“Girlfriend!” You panic and chirp, "I'm his girlfriend."
It felt unnatural to say but it was the only thing you could think of. Sister was out of the question and it wasn't like you could pass as his Mom.
You expected her to call your bluff and send you off, but she was... surprised?
"Oh? Is that right?"
Your brows furrowed as you racked your brain, trying to make sense of her reaction. Rafe was popular—successful with the ladies, too. Sure, the relationships didn't last long, but he never left a party alone.
"Yes," you nod kissing your teeth, "that is right."
She shrugs and continues, "it's just unexpected, that’s all." Leaning over to hand you a visitor tag, she mumbled, "I guess there really is someone for everybody."
"What does that— why do you say that?"
"You tell me. Mr. Cameron was brought here after brawl, that he most likely initiated. He rode the ambulance alone and no one, besides you paid him a visit." She added, "not even his parents."
Your lips parted at her words. It was kind of upsetting when she put it liked that. You swallow, "they're busy, probably."
“No parent should be too busy for their child — especially when that child is in the hospital with a concussion.” She left you with those heavy words and pointed you towards Rafe’s room.
When you reached his door, you paused before knocking— afraid to be faced with anger and rejection. This was Rafe after all. It's not like he was some well-adjusted guy who had no issue showing vulnerability. No, this was the guy who drowned his sorrows with alcohol and drugs. To top it off, he knew you were JJ's friend. Would he hate you just by association?
"I can see you standing out there." His slurred words make you freeze.
With a deep breath in, you entered the room. When his eyes met yours, surprise flashed across his face. He couldn't tell it was you from through the door. His vision was a little blurry too, so that didn't help.
"Hi," you offered weakly. You stayed standing at the doorway with your hands clasped in front of you.
"Y/N?" He adjusted with a groan as he sat up. "I don't get it. Why're you here?"
Okay. He wasn't immediately throwing things at you to kick you out of the room. There was no anger in his voice, or rejection in his tone. Just pure curiosity. You could handle curiosity.
"I heard about what happened." You kept it brief and decided not to mention JJ for now. You knew that people with concussions shouldn't be stressed out, even in the slightest. And you're pretty sure that just the mention of JJ's name would cause smoke to come out of his ears.
After a few seconds he just uttered a, "so?"
You blinked at him, unsure how to respond. “So… so I wanted to see how- how you were.”
He raised his arm to gesture at himself in a how-do-you-think-I-am sort of way, but stopped when a sharp pain shot through his shoulder. He grunted. “Wish I could say ‘you should see the other guy,’ but today, the other guy is me.” His words were bitter, but his face told a different story—a faint curl of his lip. Barely there. But you didn’t miss it.
“Well,” you slowly walk into the room and stand at the foot of the bed, “you win some, you lose some.”
He clicked his tongue as a flicker of anger returned, making you regret not changing the subject when you had the chance. “Yeah, and I intend to win the next.”
His words were met with silence. It’s not like you were going to agree with him, but you also couldn’t bring yourself to disagree as that would lead to an argument. He’d always had a short fuse. His emotions controlled him and, although, you could relate to an extent, Rafe often took things too far.
Even though you stayed quiet, Rafe began to explain himself. “I was lying there, on the ground, while JJ was being carried off by his friends. No one rushed to help me, y’know? Not even my own sister. You realize how shitty that made me feel? Like I was worthless or something.” He turned away from you to look at the window, but you didn’t miss how his eyes blinked rapidly to push down his tears.
All you could do was nod. Not in agreement, but acknowledgement.
He continued, “If you were there tonight, who would you have helped?” His eyes met yours again, filled with desperation—like he just needed someone, anyone, to say they cared. To say he meant something to them.
But you couldn’t give him that, because he was in the wrong. And you wouldn’t be convinced otherwise. You settled on saying, “probably the person who didn’t start the fight.”
He takes in a shaky breath, “oh, so- so JJ.”
You didn’t nod. You didn’t move. Just tried to shoot him an apologetic smile.
“What if it was the other way around?” Rafe questioned again.
“Then I’d help you,” you paused and chuckled lightly, “and scold JJ.”
He mirrored you and weakly laughed too. “Is that why you’re here then? To scold me?”
The mood was lightening so you mentally patted yourself on the back for being the reason. It was eye-opening too because, in your head, Rafe was this belligerent tornado. And maybe it was the painkillers or the concussion, but right now he was being sweet. It made you wonder whether the Rafe you knew was just a persona— a mask he wore to stop others from getting close. And this Rafe was really him underneath it all. A little shy. A little insecure. And very cute.
“I was… but then your concussion ruined my plans.” It was very obviously a joke. However, it did have you facing the sudden realization that you came all the way here because you were worried. About him. Rafe.
Another chuckle escaped him. “Hm… that’s disappointing. I would’ve loved to see you really lay into me.” His smirk, this time, was more clear.
A chill ran up your spine. It was interesting how even after getting hit in the head with a bat, Rafe couldn’t stop himself from attempting to flirt with you. He’d act like this for anyone. At least that’s what you told yourself.
“Be careful what you wish for,” you snicker, trying (and failing) to sound smooth. “I can be really scary.”
Rafe adjusted on the bed to lay down again. He rested his head against the pillows to get a little comfortable. When he found the right position, he patted the small space on the bed next to his thighs, inviting you closer. Your eyes widened momentarily because you weren’t sure if you were reading him right. He noticed and softly nodded.
So you walked over to the bed and almost stumbled in doing so. Almost. Sometimes when you thought about yourself and exactly what you were doing, you’d make mistakes. And the way his eyes followed your every step only made you more nervous. This was Rafe, your thoughts kept screaming. You’d barely ever had a conversation this long with him. And now that you had, you didn’t want it to end.
When you took a seat at the edge of his bed, he shifted his legs to give you as much room as he could. You pursed your lips and scooted a little further. When you’d imagine how you looked from outside your body, you couldn’t believe your eyes. Rafe laying down, and you sitting with him. Like you were actually his girlfriend or something.
He hummed in satisfaction. “You don’t look so scary up close.” His voice was quieter—not because he didn’t want you to hear him, but because he only wanted you to hear him.
"Thank you." It was the only response you could think of, so you nodded and avoided his gaze. "I guess."
Rafe enjoyed you. Your words, your voice, your mannerisms. The comforting presence you carried that made him all soft. He always thought you were too good for everyone. Not in a snooty way, but in a moral one. No one had anything against you. Except in the recent years with your switching sides and all.
Growing up, you stayed in a little bubble that only had room for Sarah— never branching out due to your introversion. But when one day Pope offered to explain a vector multiplication question to you, you had an itch to befriend him. And so you did. After that, he introduced you to the others, and they took a liking to you too. Since then, you were all joint at the hips.
This all hit Rafe at once, and he couldn't stop his expression from twisting into a scowl. You didn't notice though— too busy hoping he couldn't see the faint blush rising on your cheeks.
It was like a switch was flipped, and he couldn't stop himself from ruining the perfect moment. "You shouldn't be friends with them." He said with slight disgust in his voice.
Your brows furrowed and you snapped your head to look at him. "What? Who?" For a moment you existed in a world where Rafe was just a person who happened to be injured. But Rafe wasn't just a person. He was a kook too, and it seemed like he'd never let you forget that.
"The pogues— fucking JJ." He spat bitterly.
You sighed, exhausted. "Why does it matter to you, Rafe?" Your eyes stared down at your hands in your lap as you mourned the peaceful conversation that ended too soon.
"It matters because you're not one of them. They- they're dangerous. You really wanna be friends with someone who goes around bashing heads in?" He wanted to grab your chin and make you look at him.
"JJ's never done that before." You mumbled.
A sharp scoff makes you flinch. "That doesn't mean he won't do it again! And the fact that he thinks he got away with it this time..." Rafe shakes his head as his voice trails on, "I'm gonna have him locked up just like his Father."
That was the final straw. Without hesitation, you stood up with the intention of leaving and never turning back. There was a reason no one gave a shit about him being in the hospital.
This was a waste of time.
Shock and panic consumed Rafe, and any contempt he held for the Pogues vanished instantly. His body moved before his thoughts could stop him—he sat up and reached forward, desperate to clutch you and keep you there. But the pain you’d distracted him from ripped through him, pulling a strangled groan from his throat. What hurt worse, though, was how you didn’t look back.
"Wait- wait, Y/N." He was breathless. Helpless.
Something about the sound of his voice made you halt in your tracks. "What?" You asked with your back still turned to him.
"Stay," he choked out. "Please."
It wasn't enough. You looked down and chewed on your lip deciding what to do.
Rafe realized he'd do anything to get you to stay— beg you even. And he didn't understand why or even how he felt this way. "Sorry. I just— sorry." He sounded defeated, but sincere.
Apologies didn't mean much to you if there wasn't some change in behaviour to accommodate them. However, you knew Rafe would rather jump off a cliff than admit to his mistakes. So this was a big deal. A big step.
You swallow and turn back around. Rafe visibly looked relieved which had you feeling a little funny. Walking over to his bed, you took a seat again. But not next to his thigh, like earlier, but a lot further down. He felt a sting and had to remind himself that at least you stayed.
You cleared your throat and took the silence as an opportunity to change the topic. Not that you still weren’t upset with him. But there was no point in beating a dead horse. “Do you know when you’ll be discharged?”
Rafe was grateful for how quickly you were able to shift the conversation back to how it was— before he fucked it up. “I'm here for overnight observation, they said. I’ll go home tomorrow.”
You nod at his words. “That’s nice.” Playfully you add, “I’ll get to reprimand you sooner than I thought.”
He laughed, this time more obviously like he wanted you to know you made him happy. It felt a bit like he was overcompensating, but you found it endearing. He wanted to respond and say something like I don’t mind as long as I get to see you again or you’re the only one I’d let do that, y’know? But the words got caught in his throat. And he had a feeling it was for the best because, again, you were too good for him.
“Do you ever miss your old life?” His question surprised you.
“My old life?” You tilted your head.
“Yeah." He nods and runs his tongue across his lower lip to make the chapped feeling go away (you felt ashamed for staring). "I used to see you at the parties— not just mine, but also Topper's." He paused. "Sarah always followed the action, and you always followed Sarah." He chuckles lightly, remembering you back then. He’d see you at those events and almost feel sorry for you—how out of place you looked. It was quite adorable.
Your mind flashed with images of those nights. The nights that turned into mornings. The walk back up your driveway as the sun climbed over the horizon behind you. It was all fitting for the carefree high schooler that you were— keyword being were. When you got to university, you no longer felt the need to pretend to be that person. You enjoyed the quiet. Nights spent with the pogues, sitting around a fire and laughing, was the perfect way to spend your time. You wouldn't want it any other way, and sometimes you wished you'd found them sooner.
"I miss being a teenager, sure. But the rest of it— not so much. I think I'm finally content with where I am and, although you won't be pleased to hear it, I owe a lot of it to the pogues." You smiled softly at the answer.
Rafe felt an unexpected pinch of jealousy at your answer. He wondered if he'd ever had that sort of impact on anyone. If he'd ever changed someone's life for the better. But he came up short.
You noticed Rafe was in his head. He didn't respond to you, so you hesitantly returned the question. "What about you?"
He snapped out of his depressing thoughts, and quirked a brow at you.
You continue, "are you happy with where you are?" You were aware at how heavy and private the question was. But your curiosity (nosiness) overpowered your respect for boundaries.
His gaze was making you feel small. But it was the same for him too. It's like he wanted to impress you, but also scare you like he usually did with others. Right now, though, behind his eyes were millions of thoughts and worries about whether he should actually tell you the truth or not. Who were you to ask him that anyway?
"I don't know." It was all he could offer. He hoped you wouldn't question him further.
"What do you mean you don't know?" You asked without skipping a beat.
He sighed and brought his hand up to scratch the side of his neck. A nervous tick, you thought. "I mean: I don't know." He took a deep breath, "I get high a lot— but you probably know that." Rafe's eyes left yours and landed on the window again. He was embarrassed and didn't want you to seem him this way— didn't want you to see the truth. "And- and then at parties, I get wasted. Golf with the guys is also just an excuse to drink during the day." It felt like he was in confession with a priest. "So I don't have much time to think about whether I'm happy. But I guess that's the point."
You were surprised at the transparency. Rafe Cameron told you things he never thought he'd say out loud. But maybe, it was because no one had cared enough to ask.
Unsure if you should comfort him or dig deeper and psychoanalyze him, you stay quiet. You sigh and stand up, which has Rafe panicking again. Had he scared you off? Was this too much for you? But then you moved closer to the spot you originally sat at, next to his waist, and planted yourself there again. Rafe mentally fist pumped, feeling like he won the lottery.
"Would you, uhm— and you can say no," you began timidly.
Rafe noticed your hesitation and reached out to place his hand atop yours. It was an encouraging gesture. An attempt to push you to continue. After his revealing monologue, he felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest. A wonderful feeling that you gifted to him.
His hand on yours made your fingers twitch. You were afraid that if you made any big or sudden movement, he'd retract and go back into his shell, which was the last thing you wanted. It was a little cool— his hand— calloused and cool. But you liked it, nonetheless.
Gathering every ounce of courage in your body, you spoke again. "If you're up for it, would you want to hang out sometime?" Quickly adding, "after you're all better, of course!"
Rafe felt giddy.
The last time he felt this way was when his father took him out of school early on his birthday. When he was eight. It was a warm sensation, accompanied by the need to jump up and down from sheer joy. He wouldn't mind getting used to it.
He tried to keep his cool and stuttered out, "yeah— no, yeah. I'm up for it, sure. Yeah."
A big smile slapped across your face and before you could respond, the door opened and a nurse stepped into the room.
"Mr. Cameron, you should turn in for the night. Your recovery requires a lot of sleep. Your girlfriend can come back tomorrow morning." With that she left the room, leaving you to pick your jaw up from off the floor.
"Girlfriend, huh?" Rafe teased.
You jumped off the hospital bed and avoided looking at him— too flustered to do so. You knew your face was a blushing mess, so you quickly walked to the door, almost tripping over your own feet in the process. Ugh, you hoped the ground would swallow you up.
"I'll see you soon! Hope you feel better!" Your words came out all breathy as you ran out of the room, and down the hall.
Rafe was too enamoured to sleep that night.

It was truly a big "fuck you" from the universe when you had gone months without seeing your ex-... boyfriend? No, you never made it official. Ex-lover? Ew. Ex-situationship? Oh God that's worse. Ex-fling? Yeah, sure. Anyways, a big "fuck you" from the universe when you'd gone months without seeing your ex-fling, and the one night you really really weren't expecting him, he materializes.
Maybe it was your fault for getting too comfortable. You actually noticed that these days. The moment things seemed settled and you let out that big breath you'd been holding in, everything went awry. So awry that you were standing face-to-face with Rafe, your ex-fling, and Charlie, your current ... fling (you hadn't had the "what are we" conversation yet).
"Wait, I'm confused... you guys know each other already?" Charlie moved his head side to side, guaging your's and Rafe's unreadable expressions.
You snapped out of your shock and stuttered out a sentence. "No! I mean yeah... yes. But not that well, I mean we went out at one point but I barely remember it." You chuckle awkwardly, "so long ago!"
Rafe understood what you were trying to do and nodded slowly. "Oh, yeah. So long ago-- barely remem- we only hooked up like once." He shrugs, trying to downplay the whole thing for Charlie.
"Twice."
"Thought you had a bad memory about the whole situation."
"Not that bad."
Okay, maybe you were still a little upset about him. It didn't matter though, you had a new fling/potential future boyfriend to see to.
"Wow, what a... uhm small world." Charlie rocks back and forth on his heel. "This isn't how I imagined our little reunion, Rafe." He smiles, ears turning pinkish.
The party grew louder around the three of you but you all had each others' undivided attention.
"Me neither, man." Rafe pats Charlie's shoulder. "But it is really good to see you again." He meets your gaze and the playful glint from earlier softens. "It was nice to see you and... and hear you." His words surprise him and he blames the alcohol for his loose lips. Clearing his throat, he tries again, "hearing from you... uhm both of you, of course. The beautiful couple!" Rafe prayed to God the ground would swallow him whole. "I'm gonna go get another drink uhm ... yeah." With that, he walks away.
Charlie speaks first, and you were eternally thankful for it.
"I hope this doesn't step on... our thing at all."
Relief washes over you and you shake your head. "Not at all. I mean neither of us knew. And it was a long time ago... super shortlived too."
He smiles finally and interlocks your hand in his walking you to the kitchen island. It was crowded with snacks and booze. A long night awaited you. A night you'd most likely forget.
.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._..
The dancing, drinking, and laughing had been too much for your bladder. So you were waiting behind a few people for the bathroom. You stood with your legs glued to each other, scared you'd burst any second.
Unable to bear the wait, you rushed upstairs and used the bathroom at the end of the hallway. You knew upstairs was off limits but surely the host would understand an emergency.
After finally doing your business, you were ready to join your friends again. You washed your hands and the scent of lavender wafted towards your nose. You made a mental note to get a perfume of the same fragrance.
Wiping your hands on your T-shirt, you walked out of the bathroom only to bump into something hard.
Or, well, someone.
“What the hell?” You exclaimed.
The little jumpscare had distracted you from Rafe basically dragging you back into the bathroom and locking the door behind him.
“What— what are you doing?” You tone consisted less of surprise, and mostly of irritation.
“You’ve been dodging me all night.” He crosses his arms over his chest. He said those words like it was the obvious and logical thing for him to do.
“Dodging?” You furrowed your brows.
“Avoiding me. Everytime I show up where you are, you leave and go somewhere else.”
“I didn’t realize I was doing that.” You were being honest. Then something dawned on you, “and even if I was, what’s it to you?” It was your turn to cross your arms. “Hm? What does it matter? It’s not like we’re friends or something.”
He scoffs, “yeah, clearly. Definitely not after this stunt of yours.”
“What stunt?”
“Are you kidding?”
“Does it look like I am?”
It didn’t.
“Charlie,” Rafe gestures to the bathroom door as if Charlie was standing right outside. “Dating him to get my attention?”
Your mouth fell agape. He doesn’t actually believe that does he?
“You’ve lost your mind.” You step forward to somehow slide through the little space he left, to get to the door. However, he quickly sidesteps and blocks you.
“What? Am I wrong?”
“You couldn’t BE more wrong actually. I mean, fuck, I didn’t know you two were friends! If I had, I would’ve never agreed to go out with him. I'm not that kind of person."
“You don’t expect me to believe that do you?” He tilts his head, and stares with an unfamiliar intensity.
“I do actually. I have enough self respect to not come crawling back to the guy who threw me away like I was disposable.”
Your eyes felt a little wet, and your throat a little tight. Woah. It had been almost five months since he dumped you, and it was clearly still a touchy subject.
Rafe was taken aback by your sudden truth bomb. It was a side of you he’d never seen before. Actually, all of this evening was a side he’d never seen. The two of you went out for two months and the whole time you were quite shy and soft spoken. He thought you were really sweet and… good for him. But this side of you was interesting too. Multifaceted. He liked it.
Your relationship was new and confusing for him. Maybe that’s why he couldn’t handle it for too long. People always eventually retreat back to their comfort zone.
You were a bright light. Kind and considerate. From day one, you were exactly what you showed. There were no mind games with you, which was unfamiliar to him. The kooks he’d went out with felt soulless in comparison to you. He felt soulless in comparison to you.
And after things ended, he actually felt something. Something he hadn't felt in a … well maybe he’d never felt it.
Ache.
Not the physical kind, but somewhere deep inside. He couldn’t sleep that night, which might have been a sign that breaking up with you wasn’t the right decision. And it honestly pissed him off how great you had taken it too. A ray of sunshine ‘til the very end. No big scene. No throwing a drink in his face. No screaming. No insults. Nothing. Just a nod, and an “oh okay.”
Maybe you didn't care as much.
That ache was strong too. He remembered your smile, your laugh, the concentration in your eyes when you listened to something he said. He wasn’t much of a talker but with you, he was coming around to the concept.
You, on the other hand, loved talking to him. He knows that because you told him. It was a simple comment but it made him blush like crazy. He had to go to excuse himself and go to the bathroom to fan himself. He’d never done that before.
He loved the sound of your voice too. And you knew that, because he told you. He’d never said that before. Around you, it was like his thoughts shot out of his mouth before he could get the chance to filter them. It was over a phone call, he remembers. A quiet, “I really wanted to hear you.” He felt like a creep, but when he heard a giggle, he knew it was okay.
But these words. Threw me away like I was disposable. They were like a slap in the face. Is that how you saw it? Is that how you saw him? Didn’t you see he was different with you? Why couldn’t you see that?
“I- I didn’t… I didn’t throw you away.” He collected himself. “I told you that day, I… I was mentally checked out. I wasn’t in the right headspace.”
“Yeah, you don’t have to repeat all of that. I remember.” You sniffled and looked down. “And I'm sorry but I thought that was just an excuse.”
“An excuse? Y/N, I was being honest. I- I can’t believe- I thought you cared about mental health, majoring in psychology and shit.”
“Physiology.” You corrected him.
“Same thing,” he purses his lips.
You chuckled at his response. Half anger, half actually finding it funny.
“You can't blame me, okay? Your timing was suspicious and given your history-" You cut yourself off. It was rude to go there; to stereotype.
Rafe stared in confusion. "How was the timing suspicious? What does that even mean?"
You took a deep breath. You only ever had this conversation in the mirror when you angrily rattled off about all the things you should have said the day he dumped you. You imagined giving him a piece of your mind and leaving him stunned. But, no. You kindly took his words and swallowed your own. Staying polite, because... and you're ashamed to admit this... you didn't want to completely close the door on him. Yes, some sad part of you decided against being bitter so he could see how smooth you handled the situation which would leave him impressed and full of regret and begging for your attention again--
"Rafe, we went out three times." You tried your best to not back down now. Full eye contact. Mental power pose. "The third time, things went a little further than just... y'know making out, and you wanted to... y'know." You were hoping he would fill in the blanks mentally.
"Fuck."
Or verbally.
"Mhm. And I remember I told you I didn't want to that night." God, this was painfully awkward. Still you pushed through. "And it was all fine the next morning, we had a nice breakfast. You left in the afternoon and then... then you ghosted me for like two weeks." You felt a familiar anger rising again as you recounted the events. "And then you call me out of the blue... say it's nice to hear my voice... ask me to come for a walk in the park. I-I'm over here like an idiot thinking everything's good and maybe you were just busy or something, even though that's not really an excuse. But hey, we were still getting to know each other. Then I see you, we have a normal conversation, and then you dump me."
Somewhere during that little monologue, your eyes had wandered away from his. Vulnerability, you now realized, wasn't your strong suit.
"I mean... how am I not gonna think it had something to do with me not wanting to... y'know."
Rafe was horrified.
How could this become so twisted in your mind? That's not at all what happened. Here he was thinking he was being mature and letting you go because you were too good for him. You couldn't handle the post-honeymoon phase Rafe. You shouldn't handle him. He didn't deserve to bring you down with him and his unhealthy habits. But how could he tell you that? Alone in the bathroom of a party of some guy he knew from his high school lacrosse team.
He shook his head and decided to clear the air.
"Y/N, you're wrong... trust me."
But before he could launch into his little monologue, there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Y/N, are you okay in there? It's been a while." Charlie's voice came from the other side of the door.
Rafe looked at you and silently pleaded for you to not say anything. To continue. To get to the bottom of this mess. To get closure.
But you had enough. You were exhausted and angry.
"I'll be right out."

I think there will be a part 2, but I just had to get this out of my system. Super cathartic.

“Holy shit,” you mutter.
The flashcard drops back onto the bed as you drag both hands down your face, squeezing your eyes shut. You draw a deep breath, letting it out slowly, trying to force your shoulders to relax. It doesn’t help.
Chapter meetings, recruitment prep, philanthropy planning, classes, and another event this weekend—all of it piling up while you’re somehow supposed to memorize half a textbook too.
“I can’t do this,” you hiss.
You snatch another card from the pile, reading the question twice before your mind goes completely blank. Nothing. Not even a guess.
“Seriously?”
You toss it onto the bed with the rest, frustration bubbling up in your chest. You know this isn’t really about the flashcards. It hasn’t been for a while now.
