I woke up to an unexpected surprise. When I opened my eyes, Sofia was standing at the foot of the bed, staring at us while we were sleeping.
I pulled my head from the pillow, clearing my throat as I cover myself with the comforter. "Uh, I'm Hudson." I say awkwardly.
"I know who you are. You're the boy fucking my boyfriend." She says nonchalantly, crossing her arms over her chest.
My lips turn into a thin line. I didn't know what to say, nothing I could say would be good enough. Instead, I reached over to Rafe, shaking his arm to wake him up. He let out a groan, his eyes opening as he looked at me, "Sofia's here." I tell him, pointing at her.
His eyes trailed over to her, his face dropping the emotion as he looked at her with empty eyes. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
She uncrossed her arms, "Well, good morning to you too...I wanted to apologize for what I said yesterday, it was wrong of me to say that to you. I was upset and angry and I didn't mean it. I was just in shock that you were gay and I didn't know."
He chuckled, leaning against the headboard, "I'm not gay. I like women as well, just not as much as I like Huddy. I had to think about him to get hard every time we were intimate." He says bluntly.
My cheeks flush red from embarrassment, my jaw dropping — I couldn't believe he just said that. I force my mouth to close, sinking down deeper into the mattress as I wanted it to swallow me whole.
Sofia looks mortified. "You know, I came here to apologize and you chose to insult me. I just wanted to let you know that I won't tell anyone, I might be mad, but it's not my place to out you. I actually cared about you." She seethed.
Rafe smiled, a sinister smile appeared on his face. "You were just a mere place holder. I never stopped thinking about Huddy or loving him. You were a distraction until I got him back. I don't care about you, never have." He says coldly.
Sofia scoffs, shaking her head in disbelief. She sniffs and tears roll down her cheeks. Rafe snorts and I nudge him in the ribs, "Stop it. You're being an asshole."
Rafe shakes his head, scratching at his chin, looking at me with slanted eyes. "She literally called me a faggot, sorry if I offended her with the truth. She's only crying so you feel bad for her."
"Rafael, stop." I say sternly. I look at him, mouthing please. He sighs, closing his mouth as he mimics glueing it shut and throwing away the key.
I look over at Sofia, who's still crying, "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for my part in this. I wouldn't like it if he cheated on me and it was unfair for me to do it to you. He's the love of my life and I can't stay away from him. I'm sorry." I tell her sincerely.
I knew my words meant little to her and that she still would be hurting, but I still wanted to apologize to her. I was just as bad as Rafe.
Sofia pulled herself together, holding her head high as she walked out of the room. Leaving us alone. I shut my eyes for a moment, trying to keep myself together. I was at the brink of losing myself.
