Play Pretend

Pretend

Y/n's POV:

'So you are going?' Sarah asks, looking at me, I nod and drop my shoulders back,

'I have to, we need to make this believable-'

'You do know it is very far...' She says as I nod yet again,

Rafe, I and some other friends are planning on going on a trip, it is quite far,

'Have you packed your bag?' I ask Sarah who sighs and nods,

'You can still change your mind, listen, you cannot stand him, he is a cutthroat and you don't have to prove anything, everyone already thinks that you two are together, and you hate him-'

'Sarah it's okay, we'll be fine, it is just a few days, it is not guaranteed that we will even talk much...just, playing pretend.'

Stepping out, I see him, leaning against his car door, tapping his foot swiftly,

He holds such a grudge, his arms crossed which emphasises his muscles whilst he talks to his friends,

His trousers hug his legs tightly, as turns his head to me, he stops talking,

His eyes rake down my body and back at me,

He smirk and makes his way towards me,

'A lot of luggage you have for just a few days,' he comments, looking down at my hands,

'I have just enough things to occupy me in this trip which will be exceedingly boring.' I sarcastically reply, smiling, he shakes his head, smirking and looking down at me, he lowers down so that he can say something,

'You are lucky I am in a good mood,'

'And what exactly would you do if you weren't?'

He takes a second and smirks again,

'You certainly would not want to know.' He whispers, stiffening and taking the bags off of me,

'You seem to be struggling, go to the car,' He says, walking away and placing the bags into the boot before I get to make a snarky comment,

'Bastard...' I mumble under my breath as he walks off...

'Alright, we will separate into two cars since there are too many people, I, Y/n and Sarah will be in my car, and the rest of you in the other.' Rafe announces as one of his mates nod and make their way towards the other car,

'Why do I have to bear being in the same car as you?' I ask, he looks down at me,

'Show this attitude to me and you'll be walking alone, I'll give you a map.' He says,

I was opening my mouth, yet I was interrupted by Sarah,

'Guys, let's just go, no need to fuss.' She agonises, as she goes towards the car,

'Yeah Y/n, don't fuss.' He chuckles, walking towards the car as well...

We were on our way, the roads were empty, the field around us, it was quite a deserted place, as Rafe was at the front, the other car behind us,

I was in the passenger's seat and Sarah behind me,

Rafe was steering with one hand, turning in the other direction with his palm, his legs apart as he adjusts himself in the seat, he concentrates on the road,

Ironically, 'Shut up and drive' by Rihanna, was on display in the radio,

Rafe glances in the rear view mirror and frowns, the car behind us moves next to our car, Rafe rolls down his window as so does his friend,

'This road seems too narrow for both of us.' Rafe says as his mate nods,

'Indeed.'

We then see him speed up to the front,

Rafe chuckles and look at me,

'Secure your seatbelt, race it is.' He says mischievously,

I smile, feeling the adrenaline roll up in me,

'Now this is going to be fun.' I utter, Rafe smirks and looks back at me, licking his lips as he looks back at the road,

'Rafe, be mindful-' Sarah starts, yet she is interrupted by Rafe pushing his leg on the pedal and speeding forward,

'Open the roof,' I tell him, he smiles and presses the button which opens the roof at the top, I undo my seatbelt and lift myself up,

'Be carful, I'll hold you.' He says as I nod,

His one hand is on the wheel as the other one wraps around my legs, holding me tighter than the wheel as it seems,

I place my hands on the edges of the roof as I spot the car in front of us, I feel the wind blow my hair as I look down at Rafe, he looks up at me, pressing himself against me, securing me in his grasp,

'You okay?' He yells through the wind,

'Excellent!' I yell back, 'go faster!'

He smirks and glides his tongue over his cheek,

He presses more and we end up next to the car,

I show my middle finger whilst they look dumbfounded at me then at Rafe,

I see him smile and speed past them, looking back, I see how they don't stand a chance now,

'Woohoo!' I yell into the wind, my hair fluttering back as Rafe holds me,

'Suck it!' I hear him yell back as I chuckle,

I feel free,

This might be just what I needed...
