Desire, Drugs, & Destruction - Rafe Cameron

~2~

The next morning, I woke up to a few adds on my Snapchat. I look at the names, 

Sarah Cameron

Rafe Cameron

Kiara Carrera 

Who are these people? I rub my eyes, familiar with the three names. 

Sarah Rafe and Kiara.

I think I used to be friends with them when I was younger, but I can't recall. 

I add them back and shut off my phone. I walk over to my closet and pick out an outfit. 

A blue floral tank top and some white jean shorts.

I grab the outfit and take 3 steps to my dresser where I put all of my bikinis. 

I grab a light blue one with seams white lines, matching my shirt.

I walk into my bathroom, where I get in the shower. I hop in, making sure the water's hot enough to where my skin is red. Just how I like it. I wash my hair with vanilla coconut shampoo and conditioner. And soon after wash my body with vanilla wash. 

After 20 minutes of singing and performing in the shower, I get out, grabbing my towel and wrapping it around my body. I grab my hair towel and wrap my wet hair up to dry.

I sit on my vanity chair and begin my makeup routine.

First, I use moisturizer, turning on my playlist that includes, Brent Faiyaz, SZA, Sexxy Red, Bruno Mars, Future, Nle Choppa and more. 

I then apply primer, so that my makeup doesn't wear off while I'm out in the blazing sun. 

"Hey Alexa, what's the weather today?" I yell out behind me and to my question I get a response, "84 degrees and sunny." 

Nice as hell out there. I'm probably gonna go tanning today. 

I apply a bit of concealer, blush, mascara, eyeliner, and highlighter before letting my hair down. 

I blow dry it, given my hair's naturally wavy I don't feel the need to style it. 

I braid it to the side and stand up, grabbing my outfit of the day.

I pull on my bikini and my outfit over it. 

I grab vanilla lotion, body oil, and perfume to make sure I smell good. Before leaving my bedroom, I put some deodorant on and slip into my sandals. 

I make my way downstairs and see my parents, sitting at the dining table. 

I check my phone, 11:26am

Making my way to the kitchen, I open up the fridge and find myself a small meal before heading out. "What are you up to today?" My father asks me, while reading the newspaper. "Oh I don't know, just gonna get used to the Outer Banks, maybe shop, maybe go tanning... who knows" I say while grabbing a smoothie and yogurt out of the fridge. 

"Alright honey well the Cameron's invited us to lunch around 12:45 if you want to come" My mother chimes in, sounding hopeful. I set my yogurt and smoothie on the counter and grab a spoon. 

"Yea sure. I guess I'll be back by then." I say and my mother grins, happy to see I'm finally going to spend time with them. 

I eat my yogurt and throw it away in the next 5 minutes. I walk over to the accent table where my keys and wallet lay, checking my phone before grabbing them. 

3 Notifications from Snapchat

I'll check when I get into the car, I think to myself. I grab my keys and wallet before yelling out to my parents, "Bye mom, bye dad! I'll be back in time!" I walk out and shut the door. Unlocking my car door and getting into it, I open my phone once again. 

A chat from Sarah, a chat from Rafe, and a snap from Kiara.

I open Kiara's snap, to see what I guess looks like her and a group of 3 guys. 

They look like they're having fun. 

I sent her a snap back of me in my car. I open up Sarah's chat and it reads,

"Hey I'm your neighbor! We used to be friends for some time when we were kids! Are you coming to lunch?"

I smile at the kindness of the text, and start typing,

"Of course! Just going to drive around and get to know the place better!"

I close the chat then stare at Rafe's text. After some time, I open the chat,

"Hey pretty girl, we met yesterday. You coming to lunch?"

I smile at the nickname he gave me. I then stop smiling once I realize I shouldn't even be getting myself into anything at the moment. But I reply back, "Yup! See you in an hour, Rafe."

I close the chat and begin driving.

***

After about an hour of driving around, I pull into my driveway. I walk inside and set my keys and wallet on the table, before walking out with my parents next door. 

We go through the back. I scan my eyes over to the table outside filled with various fruits, a cheese platter, and some sandwiches. I see Ward on one end of the table, a blonde on the other end, two boys across from eachother, a blonde girl on one side, clearly my age and a dark haired girl younger than everyone else next to the blonde. 

"There they are!" Ward and the blonde older woman stand up, greeting my parents and me with welcoming hugs. "Ward, Rose, Hi!! How have you guys been" My mother exclaims, sounding very excited to see these people. My father grins and shakes Ward's hand. 

"Here take a seat" Rose says, holding her arms out to the empty chairs. I sit next to a boy, not Rafe, but seems to be another Cameron. 

My mom sits next to Rose and my dad next to Ward, given there's 4 end seats and 3 seats on either side. 

The blonde, I'm assuming is Sarah smiles at me and asks me how I've been since the crash and since we've moved. 

"I've been pretty good actually I mean I don't really remember much from when I did live here" I say, shrugging. 

"Yeah well good thing you have me to show you pictures and tell you some of the memories we have had." She smiles and grabs some fruit out of the huge bowl in the middle of the table. 

"Yeah I can remember some things but just not as much as I would like to remember." I chuckle and feel two sets of eyes on me. 

Rafe and the other Cameron boy staring at me. 

The Cameron boy puts his hand on my hand and looks into my eyes, feeling a bit uncomfortable I form a small smile to him, "I'm Myles" He says as he kisses my hand and puts it back down gently. "River" I say with a smile playing on my lips.

Knowing who my next  boytoy is.
