The next morning Paisley woke up tangled in Rafe's sheets, reaching over to be met with the cold feeling of sheets beneath her fingers and the sound of the shower running.

She sighed, sitting up and wondering if anything had truly changed- If last night really meant something or if he was going to go on and keep pretending

" How is it that I can always hear how hard you think? " Rafe asked as he walked out of the bathroom, steam following him.

Paisley rolled her eyes, falling back into the pillows " I don't think THAT hard " she grumbled

" mmmn I think you do " he mumbled, leaning down to meet her lips with his before pulling away " You know- my eyes are up here Pais " he teased, stepping back and going towards his closet

The girl could only laugh, knowing she'd been caught- his towel hung low around his hips, everything from his V-line up was visible.

She opened her mouth to respond with something witty when a pounding at the door stopped her " Rafe! Is Paisley in there! " Sarah's voice rung out

" Fuck " Rafe grumbled

Paisley weighed her options for a moment- she could keep hiding from whatever this was or she could start facing it

" You can tell her yes " her voice soft

Rafe shook his head " No she cannot find out you're in here " he whispered, picking up her clothes and tossing them to her

She couldn't hide the look of hurt that spread across her face as she stood up and slowly began getting dressed but Rafe wasn't paying attention so he didn't see how much such a small sentence and action hurt her.

" RAFE " Sarah now shouted as she hit the door harder

" What are we gonna do? " Rafe asked, panic laced in his tone

" Pass me my hair tie please " she asked, voice void of any emotion

He handed her the small elastic " I'm freaking out here- my sister cannot find out I'm banging her best friend again! "

" don't worry about it " she muttered, making her way towards the window and slowly climbing out

" What the fuck are you doing! "

She whipped her head around " Relax! I've done this before " she hissed

Before he could get another word in his door flung open, causing Paisley to press herself against the outer wall and slowly crawl towards the window of the guest bedroom

" DUDE- get out! " Rafe shouted- tightening his towel around his waist

" Is Paisley in here? She fell asleep in my room and her cars still here but I can't find her! " Sarah exclaimed as Paisley slowly opened up the window of the guest bedroom

" No she's not- check the fucking guest room you weirdo " he exclaimed

Sarah only huffed, slamming the door behind her just as Paisley crawled into the guest bed.

It took only seconds before the door to guest bedroom was flung open " Why the fuck are you in here? " Sarah questioned as she threw herself in bed next to her best friend

Paisley sat up, trying to look as groggy as possible " I guess I picked the wrong room when I came back upstairs after getting water " she answered

" Oh okay I- holy shit! What is THAT " Sarah pointed, a look of disgust on her face
