Rafael

Chapter 34 - I'm In Newport

I woke up alone and very sore the next day, and I immediately panicked, thinking that Rafael left and regretted everything before I saw the handwritten note on one of the nightstands.

I picked it up and smiled as I read the contents of the note:

Going into town to get the plan b for you, I didn't want to wake you because I kept you up pretty late last night. Next time try not to be so irresistible if that's even possible...

I'll be back soon.

I giggled giddily to myself before getting out of bed to take a much-needed bath.

I should have known sex with Rafael would have me walking with a limp.

Sitting in a tub full of hot water seemed to help with the soreness and it soon turned into a dull ache that I could barely notice.

I must have spent an hour in that luxurious bathroom, but when I was finished, I quickly got dressed in some clean clothes that I found, which must have belonged to Rafael's mother.

Most of her clothes still had the tags on them which led me to believe that she hadn't even worn them yet.

When I found the underwear that Rafael bought, I rolled my eyes at the lacy numbers he bought.

There was maybe one regular panty in the whole bag and the rest were lacy thongs that barely covered anything.

Men.

At least he hadn't left me to go commando, even though these flimsy things weren't a far cry from that.

After getting dressed, I went downstairs to see if I could make some breakfast because I was famished.

I was surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked.

I could make anything I wanted.

Note to self, let Rafael grocery shop for me whenever.

I settled for making a simple breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast because it was pretty hard to ruin that.

If I did, maybe I just wasn't made for cooking.

I made sure to make enough for Rafael and me, just in case, he was hungry when he returned.

While I was eating in silence, watching something random on the television in the living room, I heard the faint beep of a horn that sounded oddly familiar.

Rafael must be back.

I peeped through the blinds of a window just to be sure before opening the door for him.

"You're up," He smiled as he entered the house, carrying several bags in his arms.

"I thought you were only getting one thing," I said with raised eyebrows, glancing at the large amount of bags he had.

"I just got a few necessities for the house," He replied before heading to the kitchen to put everything away.

I followed him, curious to know what exactly, were the 'necessities' he was talking about.

When he rested all the bags on the counter he gave me a small paper bag with the emergency contraceptive pill inside.

"Thanks," I said then hurried to find a bottle of water.

The faster I took this thing the better.

I swallowed the pill quickly, drinking more than half the bottle, just to make sure it didn't get stuck in my throat.

That was one thing I would forever fear when it came on to pills.

Now to see what the hell Rafael bought.
