Rafe and I sit on the shore, watching the sun set over the ocean in the horizon. There is a comfortable silence between us. I sit directly behind him as he leans back and rests his head against my chest. One of my hands runs gently through his soft hair, my fingertips run lightly up and down his arm with the other. I occasionally place a small kiss to his temple. I'm convinced there is no better feeling in the world than this very moment.

"Wanna go for a walk?" Rafe asks breaking the silence.

"Sure."

He stands up and holds out his hand to help me up after. We walk up and down the shore a few times and all of a sudden Rafe reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone, then faces it towards me.

"What are you doing?" I ask letting out a small giggle.

He smiles and continues to snap a picture of me. "Taking a picture of the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

I roll my eyes at him

I roll my eyes at him. "Stop it."

He smirks and leans down to kiss me but stops when we hear someone approaching.

"Hey guys! You two are back together?"

I look over his shoulder and am met with Topper and Kelce. I just look over to Rafe waiting for him to answer.

"Yeah, we are." He replies with a small smile.

"That's great!" Topper says, slapping Rafe on the back playfully. I can sense the hint of sarcasm in my voice.

I roll my eyes, but I don't think they notice. "I'm gonna go. Call me later?" I give Rafe a kiss on the cheek and walk towards my Jeep.

*Rafe's pov*

She stands on her tip toes and kisses me on the cheek before walking away.

"Seriously?" I'm beyond annoyed with my friends at this point.

"What, man? We're just trying to look out for you. Did you forget where she comes from? Who she hangs out with? She's a Pogue!"

"I thought we got passed that?" I roll my eyes at Toppers statement.

"She cheated on you, bro." Kelce speaks up.

"Not that it's any of your damn business, we technically weren't even together."

"Oh 'technically'" Kelce mocks with air quotes.

"Did you also forget that her and JJ live together? I mean she's probably gonna go home and fuck him right now."

I feel my hands clench into fists. Without thinking my anger takes over and I grab the collar of Toppers shirt with one hand, ready to throw a punch with the other. I take a deep breath and release my grip on him, walking away before I do something stupid.
