Old Money - Rafe Cameron

Chapter 34

Audrey turned completely around so her entire attention was on whatever Charlotte was trying to pull.

Charlotte reached for Rafe's collar and straightened it out. He pushed her hand away and glanced back at Audrey.

Charlotte giggled, thinking Rafe was just messing around and she put her hand on his upper arm and rubbed it a couple times. He shifted his arm and Audrey could see that he said, "Can you just stop touching me?"

Charlotte laughed again and Audrey put her plate on the counter, not giving it another thought as she walked back over to the table with urgency.

"Audrey..." Sarah said as a warning.

Charlotte brushed a couple hairs from Rafe's face and Audrey came behind the both of them, pushing Charlotte back, which caught her off guard.

"He told you to stop touching him." Audrey said with warning.

"What's it to you?" Charlotte scoffed, standing to face Audrey. "It's not like you're with him, right?"

Audrey took a couple deep breaths, sensing that Nathan was listening and she replied, "No, but-"

"Then back off, slut." Charlotte snapped.

Rafe began to stand up behind Audrey and she turned her head and snapped, "sit down." He put his hands up in surrender and sat, waiting anxiously, knowing how crazy Charlotte could be. "Regardless if I'm with him or not, he told you to stop touching him."

"Or what?" Charlotte teased. "What are you going to do?" Audrey's jaw tensed, not having a clear answer. She wanted to defend him but didn't know how. Now she almost understood why Rafe was always punching people. She really wanted to punch Charlotte.

"Just, stay away from him when he asks you to." Audrey yelled. "You have your own date."

Charlotte laughed and reached for her drink on the table, "so do you." She looked around sarcastically, "Although, I don't see him." She grinned. "Aw, maybe he left you."

"Did anyone hear a skank talking, just now?" Audrey turned to face the table, they all shrugged and shook their heads no. "Didn't think so."

Charlotte threw her drink on Audrey. Audrey gasped and backed up a step, Rafe stood back up and reached for her but she already went up to Charlotte and shoved her backwards.

She fell onto Josh, who'd stood up as well. But as Audrey started to get charged at again, Rafe put his arms around her torso and turned her away, backing her several feet out of the heat.

Josh tugged Charlotte away as well, who yelled out a couple insults on her way, but Josh seemed to have had it. They completely left the scene.

Audrey was catching her breath, her entire frontside was drenched as Rafe held her tightly. She pushed his hands off of her after many deep breaths, anger still coursing through her.

He had a smile on his face but she turned around and walked past him, bumping into him but her mind was fuzzy.

She was so angry. She completely understood Rafe's antics. Seeing someone all over him and not stopping when he told them to was enough to make her go crazy.

"Audrey." Rafe started to walk after her as she went quickly through the room and into the hallway where the bathrooms were.

She didn't really hear him as she shut herself in a bathroom, looking in the mirror at the mess that consumed her. She was soaked. How big was that drink?

Rafe was knocking on the door, though it wasn't even locked. Maybe he didn't want to just barge in.

She took paper towels and wiped her whole frontside, but it barely worked.
