I wake up early to get ready to leave, I get out of bed and head into the closet. I put on the outfit I had left out from yesterday.

Fuck, I'm so tired.

I clip my bra, throwing a crop top over my body. I shake Rafe awake, he groans lazily.

He opens his eyes, as I button up my shorts.

He frowns, getting out of bed as he's still naked. I brush out my hair in the bathroom while Rafe takes
a shower.

I throw myself on the bed once I'm ready, groaning into my pillow.

"What's the matter?" Rafe asks, choosing an outfit to change into.

"I'm tired.." I say loudly so he can hear me through the thickness of the pillow.——————————————————————————
I wish we could sleep for at least one more hour..

He sits down on the bed and rubs my back.

"Are you trying to make me fall asleep?" I say, laughing.

Rafe lets out a dark chuckle. I sit up on the bed and wait for Rafe to get changed.

Rafe is about to untie the towel from his waist when he catches me staring at him. "Can't I have some privacy?" Rafe says, tightening the towel.

"You gave up all your rights for privacy when you started dating me." I joke.

It's not like I haven't seen him naked before.

"I still need my privacy." He says, teasingly.——————————————————————————
"No." I laugh.

"I'm exhausted." Rafe says, zipping up his jeans. "We can sleep on the ride home." I say, putting on my socks.

We meet everyone downstairs and check to make sure we have everything.

"I think we got everything." Kiara says, coming downstairs after checking all our rooms.

I guess it's time to go now.

We head outside to the car and pack our suitcases in the trunk. we get inside the car and drive to the gas station to fuel up.

After we make sure we have enough snacks, we get back in the car and start driving out of town. Rafe groans, tiredly.——————————————————————————
"Why are you so tired?" Sarah asks, sitting up to look at him.

"I was fucking my girlfriend last night, does it matter?" He snaps, "Rafe.." I sigh, covering my face in embarrassment.

He's just cranky because he had to wake up early.

"Ugh.." she says, revolted. "Sorry.." I mouth, apologizing for Rafe's behaviour. I rest my head on Rafe's shoulder.

"Do you want to lie down on my lap?" He asks. "Yeah." I mutter.

"Alright, lie down." He says, opening his arms.

I kiss his cheek, resting my head on his lap. He rubs my arm, as I doze off to sleep.

I know he's exhausted, but he's still prioritizing me.——————————————————————————
An hour later, I wake up. I lift my head off of Rafe's lap, stretching my arms. I turn my head to him. I see him fast asleep, resting his head on the window.

I smile, feeling bad. I quietly move him so he can sleep on my shoulder.

I read my book while he sleeps, occasionally checking up on him. After another hour passes by, I feel him wake up.
