Sapphire's P.O.V

"You bitches got lucky this time, but I'm onto you, something doesn't seem right" He looked at us suspiciously, I was hoping he didn't figure out that it was in fact Rafael standing beside me.

"Lets see if you have the brain cells to figure it out" Rafael spoke from beside me in a high voice to which Anthony glared at him, hoping that somehow with just his gaze he might cause him harm. With a frustrated look on his face, he and his father walked away.

I watched as they were out of sight before I turned away. The sinking feeling of what had just happened finally settled in the depths of my body and I found myself overcome by the dam of emotions that just broke loose.

I headed toward the exist as I told myself not to cry, its just a stupid kiss. Just pieces of flesh connecting nothing more nothing less. I made it a bigger deal than I should have. I mean people kiss all the time so why should I cry over the first time someone kissed me.

But it wasn't just someone, it was someone who I had fallen completely for, which is why my heart ached at the manner in which he kissed me. I had to stop feeling this way. It wasn't right for me to be crying over a pathetic kiss when we were here for a bigger reason.

The cold air hit my hot skin, I was hoping it would cool me down but alas I felt like with every breath the hurt came out like lava.

I felt so pathetic for crying.

"Hey wait!" I could hear Rafaels voice coming from behind me, I quickened my steps until I reached the street and away from the club. It was past 2am and so no one was on the street.

"Wait" I felt my arm being pulled back as a breathless Rafael stood behind me.

"Please let me go" My voice cracked as I tried to shrug away from him.

"I really shouldn't have done that but he was becoming suspicious of us"

"I understand" I tried to turn away from him but he seemed persistent on not letting me go.

"Then why are you crying, it was just a kiss" Just a kiss, that's all it was to him but for me it was much more and it made me feel even more pathetic for making out it be something more.

"I know it was just a kiss but please just let me go home" I pleaded with him as tears spilled from my eyes, stinging as they made their way out.

I tried to walk away and he ran forward to block me,

"Let me go please" I begged him hoping he would move.

"Come on you cant be that upset over a kiss"

Before I knew it I found myself exploding with emotions and I found myself yelling.

"It wasn't just a kiss damn it, it was my first kiss and you took it from me! And I know I shouldn't be crying over it because of the situation we are in"

"But here am I bawling my eyes out because I am pathetic, I'm pathetic because I so badly wanted you to be the one who I gave that kiss to, the person that I have completely and utterly fallen for" My heart clenched tightly as the words poured out painfully from my soul.

There was nothing but silence between us once I realised that I confessed to Rafael that I like him, at this point it was more than 'liking' him.

I lifted my gaze up to see Rafael and for the first time since I met Rafael, he looked like he was completely thrown off guard. Since I had met him he always seemed composed and collected but right now he was the opposite. Confusion along with something else was written on his face. His eyes reflected the inner turmoil of my confession.
