"So, are you his girlfriend or what?" I could feel Rafe's gaze burning a hole in my back.

I sat with my back to him, too scared to make eye contact. "No, he is definitely not my boyfriend."

"Then why do you spend pretty much every second together?"

I clicked my tongue, "Why? Are you jealous that I'm stealing your boyfriend?"

"You think you're funny, yeah?"

I stood to my feet and turned to face him, "Oh, I'm fucking hilarious."

He leaned his head back onto his pillows and took a long drag from his vape, holding it in for a few seconds before letting it out. I stared at his lips parted lips as the smoke tumbled out from between them. I felt my fingers twitch as I longed to reach out and grab the vape from him, knowing one hit would calm my nerves and hold me over until Topper could fill the void I felt in my chest.

He raised his eyebrows, "Want some?"

I walked over to his spot on the bed and leaned over his body, my chest grazing his rock hard abs. I snatched the vape from his finger tips and sat up. I brought the tip to my mouth and took a long, deep inhale. I leaned my head back as I let the smoke roll over me and numb my emotions. I slowly breathed it out and closed my eyes as I felt the anxiety leave my body.

"Do you have any tequila?"

He bit his lip as he stared at me, "I thought you were like, a good girl or something."

I rolled my eyes, "No, I just haven't been in the mood. Do you have any or not."

He got up from the bed and walked out of the room. I made myself comfortable in the middle of the bed and closed my eyes as a small buzz began to fill my head. My eyes fluttered open as I heard the door click closed, "Took you long enough."

He held a bottle of pineapple juice in one hand, a bottle of tequila in the other, and 2 plastic cups between his teeth. He sat them down on his desk and poured a shot of tequila into one of the cups. "I brought a chaser, figured you'd need one," he smirked as he handed me the cup.

I gave him a tight lipped smile as I took the cup from his hand. I threw the cup back and swallowed the alcohol in one gulp. I handed the cup back to him and smiled innocently, "Your turn."

He sucked his teeth and let out a small groan, "Okay, maybe not so innocent."

He poured another shot into the cup and threw it back. His face twisted in disgusted as the flavor washed over his tongue. I grabbed the bottle from his desk and took a long pull. I smiled as the burning sensation traveled down my throat and landed into my empty stomach. I handed the bottle back to Rafe, "I haven't drank in a long time so you better catch up if you wanna be on my level."

He reluctantly took the bottle from my hand and took a big gulp. We traded the bottle back and forth for awhile, silently challenging eachother. I finally tapped out when I realized I was more than just a little tipsy. When I shook my head as he tried to hand the bottle to me, he smiled victoriously. He set the bottle on the desk and sat next to me on the edge of the bed.
