intoxicated- rafe cameron

fourteen

I decide to get in the shower, get dressed, and plop myself down on my bed while watching Netflix to pass the time. I literally did nothing here but party and watch shitty TV shows... I loved it.

I hear my phone buzz as I toss a piece of popcorn up and catch it in my mouth. I can't help it as my eyes light up when I see the message is from Rafe.

Mr. Country Club
hey, there's gonna be a movie night at the park tn wanna go?

I grin and send him a quick text, confirming our plans. I know I just moved here and all... And trust me, I know that I shouldn't be hungover on a guy right now, but I can't help it. It's Rafe motherfucking Cameron.

Mr. Country Club
great cant wait:)
i'll pick you up at 7

I'm giddy, to say the least.

When Rafe texts me a few hours later and says that he's here, I throw on one of his Polo shirts and run down the stairs.

I see Hank and Brian sitting at the kitchen island, drinking some hot cups of coffee. 

"I'm going out to see a movie at some park with some friends," I say. I start to walk away, but I get stopped.

Dammit.

"Not so fast young lady," I hear Hank's voice call out.

I hang my head as I face him. 

"Will the Cameron kid be there?"

I couldn't lie, but I definitely couldn't tell the truth, either. 

I waffle. "No, I don't think so. I mean, it's going to be me, Kelce, Topper, Tess, maybe Sarah..." I pretend to think. "Yeah, no, I don't think Rafe is going to be there," I lie.

The silence he responds with is scaring me. I hoped that he couldn't see right through me. His frown luckily turns into a smile as he engulfs me in a hug. "Okay, have fun sweetheart! Don't be home too late!"

I fake laugh, uncomfortable with the closeness of a stranger. "I will."

It seems like I can't get out of that house fast enough. I try to hide my smile as I open his truck door and slide inside.

"Hi, baby," he whispers as he leans in to peck my lips. I smile against his lips as he pulls away. "We figured out who sunk Top's boat."

"Are you fucking serious? Who?"

"A pogue."

I roll my eyes.

"Name's Pope Heyward... You might recognize him from when we went golfing. He was the one with the grocery delivery. Plus, his dad owns this shit-hole store on the cut. He's going to be at the movie tonight, so we're gonna give him and his dickhead friends a taste of their medicine."

I smile. "Can't wait."

When we arrived, Topper, Tess, and Kelce were already there. The three of them were hiding between a tree, sneaking sips of alcohol from families with wandering eyes. Gossip is a big thing on this island, I've learned.

"Hey guys," I say from behind them. It makes them jump, causing Tess to spill some beer on her white shirt.

"Damn you!" she yells. She grips the hem of her shirt, looking down at it with wide eyes.

Her black bra is now visible, and Kelce whistles, eyeing her with a smirk.

"Welcome, to the summer movie series!" the announcer calls over the speakers.
