Old Money - Rafe Cameron

Chapter 22

"Happy birthday to you!" Audrey blinked her eyes open. "Happy birthday to you!" She choked a little on her saliva, opening her eyes fully to see what was going on. "Happy birthday to Audrey!" She sat up and looked around her room. "Happy birthday to you!"

"Fuck you guys. I was sleeping." She groaned with a laugh, looking at all of her friends.

"You're finally legal!" Sarah squealed. "Now's the time to go after Chris Evans!"

"Or Margot Robbie." JJ offered.

"I was just about to say that." Topper agreed.

"I would have said Michael B Jordan." Gabby laughed.

"Yo, same." Kelce nodded.

"Blow out the candles!" Nathan yelled, putting the green heart-shaped cake towards her face with happy 18th Audrey written on top.

She smiled and adjusted so she could blow out the candles, her friends clapping afterwards.

"What'd you wish for?" Pope asked.

"For you guys to leave so I can keep sleeping." She teased, and the group laughed a little. "I'm kidding. Thank you guys." She smiled as her brother handed her a piece of cake. "This is really sweet. All of my friends are here." Everyone started eating their pieces. "Where's Kie?"

John B, Pope and JJ all looked between each other to figure out a response. "She had to work."

Audrey knew that was bullshit. The Wreck isn't even open on Sundays. She nodded, a little sad, but whatever.

"How'd you all agree to do this together?" She asked, referring to how it was kooks and pogues all together.

"I made them." Nathan smiled.

Everyone started to leave slowly, all congregating downstairs where her parents had made a big breakfast. Sarah and Nathan hung back.

"Do you have any plans today?" Sarah asked, sitting beside Audrey and shoving her fork into Audrey's cake.

"Not really. I wanted to go to the spa. Get a facial and manicure. But that's it."

"Okay. Well, we were talking with Rafe and he offered to take us on the Druthers for lunch. Maybe we can picnic there?"

"Sure." She shrugged. She hadn't heard from Rafe in days. She hadn't gone to see him, he didn't seem to care for her last visit. And to be honest, neither did she. But she wondered if he was doing okay. "Want to join me at the spa later?"

"Of course."

They all took their time with breakfast. Audrey's parents spent probably hours making pancakes to feed them all, as well as bowls and bowls of homemade whipped cream.

They all left their presents in her living room, she'd open them later.

Sarah, Kelce, Topper, and Rafe showed up around eleven to pick up Nathan and Audrey.

Audrey put on a sundress over a bikini, and brought a big hat and a bag with sunscreen and a book, just in case.

Nathan and Audrey walked down their dock, the four on the boat laughing and listening to the music pumping through the speakers.

Rafe hopped off the boat after tieing it on and he shoved something into his pocket. "Can I use your bathroom quickly?" He asked, directing his question towards Audrey rather than Nathan. She nodded, not looking over at him as she stepped onto the boat with help from Kelce.

She sat in one of the chaise lounges, her and Sarah both gossiping together while the four boys fished and drank beer.

"Did you hear Kelce and Kaitlyn are," Sarah made a clicking noise with her tongue and made a dead face.
