Old Money - Rafe Cameron

Chapter 33

A/N: the first part of this chapter is from Rafe's POV. When you see the "***" that's when it switches to regular.

Why would I ever let Kelce take her? What was I thinking? I should never have yelled at her again. I shouldn't have yelled at her in the first place.

But honestly, she was being so annoying. I was just trying to help, why couldn't she seem to understand that? Why is she one of the only girls that fights back at me?

But to be fair, I love it. I love that she can put up a fight.

What am I doing? All she's doing is putting me in my place... no girl has ever done that before. All she does is try to help me. And then I go and fuck it up and get mad at her when she tries to come back.

I figured bringing Kiara would make Audrey jealous and want to come back to me, but she didn't look jealous, she looked like she wanted to cry. That's the last thing I wanted for her.

And now she's barely looking at me. Barely talking to me.

Fuck this.

"Do you want to explain to me how you ended up with Kiara Carerra?" Kelce asked me angrily. "I mean... like- Wha- explain yourself."

I shrugged and stole a glance at Audrey, who was refusing to look at me. "She needed a date. I needed a date."

"Who asked who?" Kelce asked skeptically.

I took a deep breath and looked back at Audrey again fully. "I asked her."

Audrey crossed her arms. Shit. I never should have brought Kiara.

"Why?" Kelce said with exasperation. "You could have taken anyone you wanted to take at the club and you chose Kiara?"

"Well the one person I wanted to go with already had a date." I spoke through my teeth. "I wouldn't have gone with Kiara if it wasn't for you."

Kelce looked over at Audrey who shrugged. I couldn't read the look on her face. Lately, I haven't been able to. "Audrey," Kelce looked back at me with a daring grin, "would you like to dance with me?"

She sarcastically, finally, looked over at me and replied, "I'd love to." If she was trying to make me jealous, it was very much working.

And now they were dancing. That should be me. As much as I hate dancing I'd do it if she asked me to.

"I shouldn't have brought Kiara." I said to Sarah as I watched Kelce dance with my girl.

"Well, no shit, Rafe. Do you ever make the right decision?" Sarah yelled back at me. "Or do you always just fuck Audrey and then leave?"

"That's not my intention." I mumbled. "That's never my intention." I hated myself. "And she looks so good and she's with him. Fuck me."

"So, go take her away from him." Topper suggested.

"No, she seems happy. I can't do that to her." I shook my head with a groan. I needed to know what this all meant. Yeah, they're friends. But why is he so flirty towards her? "What's she thinking about Kelce?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, is she going to go home with him?"

"Fuck, no." Sarah said with exasperation. "She only wants you. She started panicking at the idea of you taking someone else to this."

"Fuck." I yelled. They were both watching me. "What do I say? How do I tell her I've never felt this way about anyone before?"

"Ask her if you can talk in private." Sarah suggested to me.
