"Rafe! Put me the fuck down!" I kick and scream, trying to fight against him but it's no use. He finally stops a while away from the beach, music just a distant blur in the background. He puts me down still holding my arm expecting me to run away. I snatch it away holding it to my chest. "You didn't have to carry me, I'd have come willingly." I lie angrily.
"Yeah of course you would've, Nessa." His tone laced with sarcasm. "What the hell was that back there? What happened?" He asks concerned looking down at my bloody knuckles.
"None of your business. Maybe if you wasn't busy with your girlfriend Kiara, you would know." I retort folding my arms on my chest.
He runs his hand through his hair, breathing a sigh of irritation. "She's not my girlfriend! You're my girlfriend! Now would you please just tell me what happened!" He tries not to shout but his voice is still raised.
Surprised he still called me his girlfriend after everything, I tuck my hair behind my ear acting like I don't care. "Tell me about you and Kie first."
I can see his jaw clenching. "You might not want to be with me after I tell you the truth and I don't want that, I want you forever." His voice breaks, I watch his adams apple bob up and down as he gulps.
"I already know the truth, Rafe. I just want to hear your side." I try to look away from him knowing I'm gonna give in so easily if I watch him break down in front of me but I just can't seem to have enough self control to turn away.
He looks shocked. "You do?"
"I know you..." I take a breath, struggling to say the words desperately not wanting them to be true, my mouth running more dry than the Sahara desert. "...slept together."
He shakes his head, chewing down on the inside of his cheek. "Okay you know that." He nods this time finally confirming the truth. "But do you know it was just the once? Do you know that to me it meant nothing. Do you know that I was high, drunk and horny and just wanted a quick shag; kie just happened to be there. The entire time... Ness... the whole time I was imagining you. Any person I've ever slept with I've always imagined you. It's always been you. But you were off limits and I thought you hated me otherwise it would've never happened. God, I wish it didn't! If I could go back in time, I would take it back!" He pleads, not realising he's now holding my hands in his. Any other guy saying these things about my best friend I wouldn't hesitate to go for him but it's Rafe saying these things, and I couldn't be happier.
"Rafe- I..."
"I love you, Nessa." The words render me speeachless. My mouth is open but no words fall out. "I've loved you since I was 13 years old and we had our first kiss. Man, probably before then. My eyes were always on you, they still are. I'm obsessed with you, you drive me insane. I can't lose you, I can't watch you be with anyone else. You're mine, you belong with me. I know it, you know it and your bleeding mother knows it too." We both chuckle at his last added words about my mom. I didn't even feel my eyes well up or the tears drip down my cheeks until now. Still struggling with what to say silence fills our bubble as our eyes remain connected. "Please say something, Ness." He begs breaking the silence.
I pull his hands and put them around my waist as I reach mine around his neck. "I love you, Rafe Cameron. I've loved you my entire life and I will continue to love you for the rest of time." My words cause the brightest smile to appear on Rafe's face, I mirror this. He palms the backs of my thighs lifting me up effortlessly, I wrap my legs around him. Our lips crash together desperately.
We finally come up for air and I slide down Rafe like a pole before my feet meet the ground.
"I have to tell you something." He blurts out. My heart starts racing, praying it's nothing to make me hate him after I've just confessed my ever dying love for him.
"What is it, Rafe?" I ask nervously our hands automatically entwined.
"It's about what Kiara said to me on the beach." He seems hesitant to tell me after the moment we just shared but I want to know, I need to know.
"Please just tell me." I squeeze his hand letting him know it's okay.
"Well she came up to me after Barry walked off, she asked if I got the message..." the mention of the message sends a surge of anger through my veins. "...I said yeah and I wanted to talk to her about it and tell her she needs to leave me alone but she kept interrupting me saying she likes me and she can't stop thinking about us. I felt so awkward, I didn't want to be mean because she's your friend and I knew she'd never accept us being together if I was a dick towards her. So I tried to talk to her in a nice way but she just interrupted me saying she thinks we should sleep together again. I was about to answer her and put her straight but then I saw you fighting and ran over to you." I take in Rafe's words and think about them carefully. I know he's telling the truth because he's looking directly at me and hasn't made one nervous gesture.
Anger is all I feel.
I don't want Kiara thinking she has a chance with my boyfriend, and I don't want resentment building up on my behalf. I don't even care if people know me and Rafe are together and they don't like it. I need everyone to know. I need Kiara to know. She's gonna hate me. The boys are gonna hate me. Topper is gonna go insane. But I want the world to know...
Rafe Cameron belongs to me.
