"Jules!" I immediately push Rafe away and let out a small gasp. "Who is it?!" mouths Rafe in confusion. I shake my head to let him know I don't know and glance in the direction the voice came from. "Yeah?" "where are you?" I recognize Pope and panic as I hear him coming close from the entry. "Shit!" whispers Rafe and I push him harshly behind a car.
"Is someone here with you?" Pope comes to me but thanks to the dark he didn't see Rafe. "Huh? Why do you say that" I let out a nervous giggle and fix my uniform. I pull my skirt lower and fix my hair. "Well why are you here bro?" he asks observing my nervous movements.
"Here? I like it here what do you mean?" I grin and he raises his eyebrows, "you like the parking lot of the Country Club?" "yeah! Love it" I scoff, "yo are you feeling okay? Want to go home?" "I have work I can't leave" "you're also drunk, is that safe? Working drunk?" he questions and I roll my eyes "whatever...well, I'll go, coming with me?" "inside you mean?" he nods so I glance in the direction Rafe hid. I hesitate awhile and then nods, "sure"

We both go back inside where the music is way more loud. A million of drunk Kooks dancing. "Jules, where were you?" Kiara spots us and passes me glass of champagne, "she had enough of that" Pope takes the glass from her hands and puts in on a table next to us.

As the two of them chat I lose track of the conversation and observe the place to see if I can find Rafe.

For the rest of the night I help out around the bar, I clean the tables, chat with Pope and Kie during breaks. No signs of Rafe for the rest of the night. It's like he vanished.
After 2am the Heywards drop me off at my place and I just go straight to bed. I check my phone one last time and my heart stops as I see Rafe's name on my phone.

Went home

Just that. I look at the ceiling and think about what to type.

See you soon?

I type then cringe at the message after re-reading it. "Pathetic" I mumble and groan but my phone already buzzed to let me know he replied.

sure ;)

I don't reply anything to that. I just smile and put my phone down. How was this the same person that insulted me my whole life? Made fun of me, not that I didn't make fun of him too.
What made me even happier was that he was obviously fully sober.

The next morning I get a message from Rafe again,

R: Tannyhill this morning?

J: Good morning to you too, if you want me there so bad?

R: Don't get too excited

R: come though

"Asshole" I giggle and Jj gives me a judgmental look as he glances at me. "What?" "nothing geez, eat your sandwich" I pull his cap in his face, "thank you" he mimicks a kiss and I point my middle finger at him. "Whatever, I'm going to uh..Sarah's" I lie and run to the bedroom to get changed.
"Sure go to the Kook side" I ignore him and grab my pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

I run to the bathroom to brush my hair and walk outside to my bike.

omw

I send him the message and get on the road.
On the way to Tannyhill guilt was hunting me. Guilt because we both knew how wrong it was. But I calmed down as I noticed that the Cameron's cars are all gone when I arrived at their house. The last thing I wanted is to be seen by anyone, Sarah in the worst case.

I take a deep breath as I stand in front of the mansion, then I take a step closer and see the door is opened. I entered and looked around the place. "Rafe?" I call out and two arms wrapped around my waist in a minute. "Jesus" I hiss, he smirks and turns me around so we can face each other. "Scared?" "sure, you wish" I say, "so this is where you live huh? Super Kook" I add and he chuckles, "you've already been here" "I did, still surprising after all these years you know" "yeah I get it, this is the VIP life...Pogues don't really-" "we have more fun that's what we have" I cut him off and he nods ironically, "sure you do. Why are you here then if you're having more fun at the Cut with your little friends?" I bite my lip and give him a kiss instead of answering.

He kisses me back immediately, this time more intensely. I melt at the sensation of our tongues together. I have my hands on his shirt pulling him by it closer and closer. Rafe then grabs me by the ass and picks me up, it makes me giggle into the kisses a little bit. My legs wrap around him and he pushes me against the wall in the hallway. His lips goes from my mouth to my neck then up again.

Suddenly we hear loud knocking on the front door. He lets go off me in no time and I look at him in panic, "is that your dad? Rose- worse, Sarah?!" I gasp and he presses his mouth on my lips, "shut up! It's not them okay? Stay here, I got it" he orders and walks to the front door. I take a deep breath and pull out my phone from my back pocket, no notifications.

"It's been three days now Country Club!" I immediately raise my head as I hear Barry's voice from outside. I glance over at Rafe at the end of the hallway but he blocks the way.
I take a few really quiet steps closer to them so I can hear better.

"Barry man, come on...it's not the time now" "what, you got a anotha girl up there man?" another girl. I try to forget that and keep listening.
"It's not about that, I don't have your money right now but I swear I'll pay you back just give me that pack" "this ain't how I work Country Club, you give me money I give you coke but without money this ain't gonna happen bro" "Barry come on-" "just give me the goddamn money Rafe!" shit, I can tell when Barry is getting aggressive. That was no good.

"You tellin me you got no money but ya ass got this big ass house, a bike like this.." "I will get you the money tomorrow, I swear" he says and I can hear Barry laughing. And before I realize it I hear him punching Rafe in the face and that one almost falls down. As he stand up straight he wipes the blood from his nose. "Tomorrow, this time" I hear then Barry say and in a minute I hear his vehicle driving away.
