Soft spot Rafe Cameron X OC

Chapter 22

*Don't forget to vote*

The boat was parked on the docks outside the Camerons. Natalie decided to wear a two-piece green velvet top and skirt with a slit. Her hair was straightened as she grabbed her phone existing Sarah's bedroom. 

'You ready for the party babe?' Sarah asked as she shut her bedroom door. She just wore a plain white dress, which would be ruined in the first hour, as she walked behind Natale heading downstairs. Kiara, Pope, John b, and Rafe were helping decorate and place the booze on the table.

'I'm excited. Where's Tops?' Natalie questioned as Rafe gave her a quick kiss. Sarah hasn't seen Topper since they split. Topper seemed fine but when did she ever bother her brother in a breakup.

'He's sorting music out Natalie.' John B replied earning a nod from Natalie. Natalie turned to look around, as she does, she scanned the clock realising the time.

'I'm off to go get birthday boy. I'll message when we're 5 mins away.' Natalie shouted as everyone said goodbye hoping she won't be long. She hopped into her when Rafe ran outside making her pull the window down.

'Don't be long okay?' Rafe kissed her forehead and lips passionately making Natalie blush. She started the car and honked at Rafe who saluted back at her earning a snort he could hear from a mile away.

Natalie pulled up outside JJ's place as she messaged him. She just heard her phone ring from JJ. All she heard were jets and water bubbling.

'JJ, where are you?' Natalie spoke up loudly over the deafening jets. She heard a cork pop as JJ responded slowly.

'Come join me, in the hot tube, Nat.' JJ spoke softly. Natalie knew he wasn't sober. She saw flashing lights in front of her as the figure in a hot tube waved. She got out of her car as she walked over.

'JJ, come out it's your birthday we have a party for you.' Natalie stated slowly, hoping the words went into his head. JJ just went over closer to Natalie. Nose touching feeling each other's breaths. JJ reeked of alcohol, but Natalie smelt of lilac mixed with tropical senses. JJ looked her up and down before he spoke.

'Come in, Princess.' JJ begged as his eyes softened looking deeply into Natalie's.

'J...' Natalie hesitated as she took her heels off. She always wore her bikini but she just rolled her skirt off and not taken her top off. She dipped her feet in as she sat on the edge while JJ was sat on a jet.

Natalie didn't ask how much it all cost or anything. She knew he was hurting for whatever reason. Before JJ could pass the girl some champagne she brought his head into her lap as she curled his hair.

'You gonna come out and have fun tonight? I'll save you a dance.' Natalie offered as JJ's face had tears. He stood up, towering over the girl, as he grabbed her cheeks.

'It could have been us you know Nat. Since day one my best friend who I would take a fucking bullet for.' JJ slurred out chuckling. Natalie knew something like this would happen. She wasn't oblivious, but she would never have brought it up.

'JJ, you know I can't.' Natalie wiped his tears with her hand. She looked into his wet eyes as he downed a glass of champagne.

'I'm not even upset about that though Natalie. I'm happy you're happy.' He smiled. Natalie knew he was telling the truth. She brought his slightly wet torso in for a hug.

'Come out J. Let's celebrate your birthday on a better note.' She whispered. JJ nodded harshly as he climbed out. He held his hand out for Natalie who took it. She rolled her skirt down to a better length as JJ threw some dry shorts and a shirt on. They got into the car front seats as Natalie passed him a water bottle. 

'Try to look sober when we get there.' She winked at him as he nodded. He smiled knowing nothing was wrong between the two and that they were best friends still.

'C'mon birthday boy, we have a party to enjoy.' She parked the car as they got out. Rafe's house was full of pogues and kooks. Most said happy birthday, including Kelce, Topper, and Rafe, and some didn't. But JJ didn't care it was a night to remember as he was finally 17.

The night was full of euphoria. It was as crazy as every other party throw. But Natalie was all over Rafe. She danced with JJ, as she promised, and he was happier being with his friends. Natalie then went to sit on Rafe's lap near the table where the drugs were being held.

'Nat, I give you permission to do coke.' Topper claimed. Natalie raised a brow at his statement. Not like she hasn't before she has. Just everyone thought Miss Natalie Thornton was innocent. Rafe was about to line up some coke for her but Natalie snatched his card and did it herself. It didn't even hit her which made Kelce snort and Topper questioning life.

'When?' Rafe asked curiously as he pulled Natalie closer to his crotch.

'Uh. 15? Took some of yours and Topper's.' She admitted. Rafe whispered close into her ear.' That's my girl.' 

'Hey anyone wanna play spin the bottle?' Kiara came over with the pogues and Sarah. Everyone nodded in agreement as they headed into Ward's office where it was quieter and empty, whilst with some bottles to drink, they all sat in a circle. 

'We all know how to play, right?' Kelce asked as everyone nodded. Sarah spun it first and it landed on John B. Topper coughed awkwardly as they kissed.

'Do not start.' Natalie whispered to her brother as he raised his hands defencelessly.

'I'm not bothered, Nat. Don't worry.' Topper replied. After a few rounds of people kissing girl and boy, boy and boy, and girl and girl. Everyone at least kissed everyone else. Except for siblings.

'Truth or dare?' Sarah offered as everyone grinned. This was going to be fun.

'Since most people are taken I'm going to ask JJ this one.' Sarah started out with the first dare.

'Sup Sarah.' JJ responded back.

'JJ, Truth or dare?' She asked.

'Dare.' with no hesitance. Natalie created JJ into the darer he is today.

'I dare you to kiss the prettiest girl or boy in the room.' Sarah told him. Everyone watched where he was going to go. He stood up walking around the group. He stood behind Natalie. He stood the girl up as his hands went to her face pulling her into a passionate kiss. Natalie didn't respond at all.

'That's fucked up.' Pope muttered. Rafe stood up walking out of his father's office. He went up to his room and locked the door. Natalie chased him upstairs banging on the door pleading for him to let her in. No response.
