i sat on the beach, with a cigarette between my fingers, staring at the sea as the waves trashed against each other. there was a storm coming into the island and it was expected to cause some disruption to the majority of the island, so i knew i had to make the most of the calm before the storm. i pulled my knees up to my chest, hugging them to make myself feel more secure. "y/n? come on, it's not safe." i heard from behind me as i watched the sky change from blue to a dark grey colour. "y/n! let's go, we're not getting caught up in this damn storm!" rafe lectured, now approaching me. "i'm coming, god." i groaned, putting the cigarette out with the water and brushing the sand off my lower half. rafe stood there, observing my movements as the rain began to fall, before grabbing my wrist and pulling me along with him.
we pulled up outside my house on figure eight, the rain now becoming quite violent. grabbing rafe's arm, i dragged him towards the door, unlocking it and pulling us both into the building as the wind began blowing. i leant back against the door, sighing before standing upright and walking upstairs, rafe following close behind. "you good?" he asked, noticing i hadn't spoken a word since we arrived. "mhm." i continued walking upstairs, stopping at my brother's room, who was away at college. i walked in, rummaging through his stuff before throwing him some dry clothes. "put them on." i told the older boy before walking past him to my room.
my body was faced away from the door as i changed, not hearing the door being pushed open and rafe walking in, until i felt his arms snake around my waist from behind, making me jump. "it's just me." he whispered, leaning his head on my shoulder. i was about to say something but the boy spoke up before me. "i know there's something wrong, you gonna tell me?" he asked, his breath now tickling my neck. "i'm fine, just tired." i lied, trying to wriggle my way out of his grip. "you're a crap liar." he told me, as i finally wormed my way out of his embrace. i inhaled, looking down at my chewed nails. "i'm fine." i repeated, almost as though i was reassuring myself. my attention was drawn away from the conversation as i heard crashing outside, the clouds darkening. i stood at my window watching the changing weather, thinking about how i could get out of the conversation. i didn't like that i had grown to love the person behind me over the years, and i didn't dare admit it, because rafe cameron doesn't love anyone. "y/n, talk to me." he grumbled from behind me. at this point, i crumbled. i turned to face him, walking towards him. when i reached him i grabbed his face, pulling it down to my height and kissing him. he immediately eased in, smiling into the kiss, as i hooked my arms around his neck. his hands travelled down to my waist, pulling my body closer to his.
pulling back, i sighed. i still didn't know whether rafe would feel the same, so i didn't look up, my eyes meeting my fingers again. rafe lifted my chin, his eyes meeting mine. "so you feel the same, huh? that's what's been bothering you?" he smirked. i nodded sighing, trying to keep my attention away from the storm outside. "god, you drive me insane."
