Dirty Money - Rafe Cameron

02

It was complete silence, besides the light tap of rain hitting the roof. They were driving for only a couple minutes and they weren't halfway enough to her house which meant they were more in kook territory. It was comforting, she never really saw how different this part of the island looked at night. There were still a couple bars open, people laughing and running around in the rain.

She looked over at Rafe who had his eyes fixated on the road, he was silent the entire ride besides the remarks of her loud breathing. Either way she was just glad she accepted the ride, even if it was with Rafe Cameron who she couldn't be around for more then five seconds without him causing a fuss. She regretfully attempted to turn on the radio but he angrily swatted her hand away, she didn't know what came over but it was a force of habit when she would ride with Sara. "ouch" she glared and smacked him even harder.

"Woah watch it pogue or I will make you walk home"

she angrily mumbled words to herself, making sure to curse Rafe and Sara for making her have to ride with him. Sara was of course okay and with topper, she made sure to promise to make it up to Bella tomorrow. which meant mani pedis after work.

She looked over at the car clock and it read 1 am, great.

She yawned at the thought of work, she would only get a few hours to sleep tonight. Her grandma is going to freak out when she gets home, if she's not already passed out in front of the tv watching Maury.

Rafe car was comfortable enough to lay back in and surprisingly spotless compared to sara, not a single piece of dirt in sight beside him of course. He weirdly glance at her laughing at the joke she made in her head. She definitely needed sleep if she found something so dumb funny.

She leaned the seat back and closed her eyes for a while, even passed out in the process. But a few minutes woke up to a warm feeling against her cheek. She didn't open her eyes and continued to snuggle against it, it smelled so good, like the woods mixed in with laundry soap. Almost like Rafes expensive cologne. Rafe.

She instantly instantly shot up, taking in her surroundings, she was still in the car, and the warm feeling was a single white pillow that now fell onto her lap away from the window. She looked over to see Rafe glancing at her with a weird expression on his face. He definitely saw her smelling the pillow.

"You good carters?"

"how long was I sleeping for?"

"10 minutes, was hoping this whole car ride until you shot up like that"

she groaned into her hands, a mix of exhaustion and embarrassment pooling in her stomach.

"well that's embarrassing" she mumbled to herself "where did this pillow come from?"

"your head kept hitting the window and made a agitating noise so I got my pillow from the backseat"

"how sweet- hold on why do you have a pillow in the backseat of your car? and what did you do to it" she suspiciously began to inspect the pillow for any laced white poison, who knows if this was all a way to lure her and kill her. Then again he could have killed her while she slept, so that gave her peace of mind.

"thank you Rafe for preventing a concussion even though I was snoring so loud and obnoxious-"

"I do not snore in my sleep"she didn't know whether to strangle him or be embarrassed. It was bad enough she was pretty sure he saw her sniff the pillow.
