Play Pretend

Don't have secrets

Y/n's POV:

We were there, everyone having fun, laughing,

'Hey, I'd like to introduce you two to my brother...' Said one of our friend's, Maria,

'His name is Daniel.' She said, presenting a guy with black-curly hair, two strands falling forward,

He smiled and nodded,

'Pleasure.' He said, his voice was rather deep,

When I turn to Rafe, he was giving him a death-stare, pulling me closer by my waist,

'Mhm.' He simply said, leading me away toward the sofa where all his mates were,

'Who is that clown?' Rafe asks them, gesturing with his head to Daniel,

'He is new here, just visiting I think.' One said,

'Oh yeah?' Rafe smirks, nodding and trailing his tongue down the inside of his cheek,

He then takes me onto his lap, holding me by my waist,

'If that dickhead even looks at you, I'll knock his head in, alright darling?' He says, asking more of a rhetorical question,

I just nod,

He doesn't have to be this rude, I'm sure Daniel has no intentions whatsoever...

I don't want to trigger him right now, we came here to have some fun...

-

We were all just having fun, playing games, drinking, laughing,

Daniel joined not long ago which made Rafe pull me closer to him,

'Truth or dare?' He asked me,

'Truth.'

He pulled out a card and read out,

'Who was your best sex experience?'

'Rafe.' I confidently say, smiling as he kisses my shoulder,

'Correction, is, not was.' Rafe says, smirking,

Daniel nods and puts the card down, sipping on his drink,

The air is tense,

The bottle lands on Rafe,

'Truth or dare?' I ask him,

'Dare.' He replies, smirking,

I pick up a card,

'Tell us your worst secret.' The dare read as I looked at him, rather intrigued in fact, we do share sometimes, but we have never had a proper conversation regarding each others' lives before us,

'Don't have one.' He says, turning his head,

I furrow my eyebrows, now definitely intrigued,

'Oh come on, sure you do, everybody does-' I say, smiling and leaning in toward him to tease,

'Well I don't' He pushes in response, becoming much more closed off,

I sigh, putting the card down,

My eyes drift to Daniel who is smiling and shaking his head,

Rafe is hiding something, and I am dedicated to finding out.

I walk off, towards the car, hearing Rafe's footsteps rushing behind me before I feel a grasp of my wrist, turning my attention to him,

I have to look up in order to meet his gaze,

'Y/n, why the fuck are you not speaking to me?' He asks, annoyed, I cam feel the liquor clouding from his breath,

He isn't drunk, but he can't drive us home for sure,

'You are hiding something!' I exclaim, analysing how he sucks in a rush of air, clenching his jaw,

'I am not.'

'Yes you are! What don't you want me to know Rafe?'

'Nothing.' He raises his voice slightly,

'I'm walking home.' I state, turning around and yanking my hand out of his grasp.

'No you are not Y/n.' He demands, holding me,

I begin to resist his grasp, wiggling in all possible directions, however that doesn't seem to be enough for him to let me go,

He doesn't even fucking budge,

'Y/n, stop.' He says,

'Let go of me-if I said that I am walking home, it means that I am walking fucking home!' I exclaim, hitting his chest with my fists, yet it seems to be pointless,

He throws me over his shoulder and lowers my dress, holing it down,

'Put me the fuck down Rafe!' I yell, 'I don't need you to drive me, you are drunk-'

'I am not driving.' He calmly says,

I then see his mate coming up to him as Rafe tosses him the keys,

'I want to walk home, let me down, let me go!' I keep resisting,

'Y/n, stop it.' He says, carrying me towards the car,

I swing my arms as he puts me in the car and closes the door, locking me in,

Fucking bastard,

I bang on the glass, not giving a shit about the damage it may do to the window,

He looks down at me from the outside,

Raising his eyebrows and examining me,

'Let me out! This is illegal, I could fucking sue you and your shit!' I yell, knowing that he can hear me,

He shakes his head and mouths a 'No'.

Once I am taken back to Rafe's house, I run upstairs before Rafe snatches me from behind and lifts me up, as I yell,

'Put me down!'

'When you calm the fuck down I will.' He says,

'Fuck you!'

'Already did.' He reminds,

'It's not fair.' I say, much calmer, signalling that I won't run away.

He puts me down as I turn around, meeting his eyes, is that worry? Anger? Disappointment? His face is difficult to read,

'It's not fair that I have to put up with you lying to me Rafe, I feel like you don't get it. Like you think that I am not worthy of an explanation.' I say, my eyes falling lower,

'No, Y/n.' He whispers, lifting my chin, 'I tell you everything.' He assures, tilting his head,

'I doubt that.' I whisper, my voice cracking,

He comes closer to me, putting both of his hands on my cheeks and lowering his head,

'Y/n, I understand that you feel this way, but you know me better than anyone, I do not have secrets from you.'

I nod, trying to assure myself that there isn't...

'Let's go sleep, I am tired.' He says, holding my hand...
