Rain drops fall heavily outside, meaning it took over the silence throughout the house. I dim the lights which I felt awfully annoyed by due to a rough migraine that occurred not long ago.

I could feel my head pounding as my fingertips froze numb, struggling to clear my thoughts and relax.

I allow Rafe to comfort himself in one of the guest rooms, knowing it was probably a bit embarrassing asking him to stay for the night.

Checking the time it was already 8.52pm, which I assume Leah won't return home tonight since she's always home by 7.

I take my time, switching off the lights downstairs and locking the doors firmly feeling a sense of caution causing me to check almost 4 times just in case.

I feel a decrease of iron in my head as I climb the stairs carefully hearing a continuous beep in my head.

Seeing a gap between the frame and guest room door, I focus to see Rafe who sits on the end of the bed now pulling his polo off above his head revealing his toned skin.

His broad muscles flex as his veins travel towards his fingers. His messy dirt blonde hair falls onto his forehead where his blue eyes catch mine. I jump in surprise seeing he notices my trance from across the room.

"I see you're enjoying yourself" Rafe leered curling his lips into a confident grin.

I run my fingers through my hair then resting them on the back of my neck in embarrassment; leaning against the door frame.

"I was just um...I wanted to say, goodnight" I clear my throat then looking around the room avoiding eye contact.

He remained silent, resting his gaze on me who's heart skips a beat as I nervously stood.

Once my pulse increased, my migraine also did. My head then pounding once again but more vicious this time causing my hand to lightly massage my forehead.

"What's the matter?" He queried with concern, his smile dropping into a frown as he saw the irritation by my expression of pain.

"I- I've just got a bad headache, just need some rest I guess"

Rafe stood up from the bedside, taking slow steps towards me locking contact between our eyes.

He cupped my face into his warm hand as his thumb softly rubbed my cheek. He slowly leaned in causing my heart to drop anxiously. His lips got in contact with my forehead, placing a long, meaningful kiss as I flutter my eyes shut.

"Get some rest, yeah?" He whispered before his hands fell to his side as I slowly exit the room.

I bite my lip, fighting back a small smile whilst entering my own room and approaching my bed.
