The fake wedding

Time to go home

Charlottes p.o.v

"So you're just going to avoid him again?" Kiara yelled over the phone, "No I'm not actually." I was packing my things to leave, I needed to go I missed him too much, I got myself into too much. "Stop running!" She yelled again "Listen kie I'll call you later." I hung up not wanting to get in an argument with her, There was a knock, I froze confused on who's at my door. I walked to the peep hole seeing Joshua,
"Josh?" He smiled at me lowering his eyes to my stomach, "Woah you've gotten huge." Why don't people realize calling a pregnant woman that isn't a compliment? Expecially how early I am in the pregnancy.

"I'm having twins so that could help." His eyes widened, "Oh well I was wondering if you wanted to hang." I didn't want to hang, I honestly wanted to be alone for a minute.
"Sorry Josh I can't I'm really tired." He gave me a tight smile nodding his head, "Nah it's cool, good luck on the twins though." He didn't wait for my response and just left, I closed my door, but not even a minute later there was a knock. "Josh I-" I stopped looking up at rafe, "What are you doing here?" His jaw was clenched, looking at me with fire eyes.

"Who was that?" He asked, his voice was hard and rough, "Old boyfriend." He stayed quiet, I've realized when it seems as if he's going to go off on someone he stays quiet. "What are you doing here rafe?" His jaw was tight, he was still quiet and breathing harsh. "You completely blew me off when we were in the car." "Yeah I had things I needed to do." I shrugged, his eyes narrowed then landed on a packed bag. "Are you seriously leaving?" He nudged my head to the bag, I stated quiet.

"Damn it Charlotte! This is so fucking hard for me, I'm trying here. I really am, I'm pouring myself to you, I've never done this before. I really need you baby doll." I smiled softly, I kicked the bag towards him waiting for him to realize I was leaving to go back to him. "I know rafe,"
"Then why blow me off when I asked you to come home?" He asked, I didn't know what to say on the spot in that moment. "I'm scared of getting hurt again rafe, last time I put my feelings out there and I find out you did this to gain something. It hurts a lot rafe, I understand you're trying I see that, I do, it's the trust that you broke, the loyalty."

He chewed on his bottom lip watching me talk,
"There's so much we need to talk about rafe, so fucking much," "Ok then let's go." I looked at him confused, did he not register anything I just said? He grabbed my bags in his hand looking at me waiting, "You want to talk? We can talk, just not here. Home, we're going home, end of discussion. Let's go." He walked out with my packed bags which were only two duffle bags, I didn't pack much when I left. I stood there, trying to figure out if I should stand my ground, or if I should go with him. I decided to go with him, to talk this out we needed to talk. Everything can't just pass by without any answered questions.

"I'm surprised you're not smoking right now." I was sitting outside with rafe, the sun was starting to set, the beautiful golden light casted on his skin gave him a glow. Don't even get me started on how his eyes looked, the hazel popped out so beautifully. Though this wasn't about how beautiful rafe is, even though that's every thought I had staring at him. This is about getting my answers, "Where should we start?" He asked getting straight to the point, "Sophia, tell me about your relationship with her." He looked away from me, tapping his thumb on the table.

"We met in college, we dated for four years, and just became a casual hook up with each other." "I'm talking about your plan together," He still didn't look at me, which was killing me the fact that the golden light was leaving and I wanted to keep looking at his gorgeous eyes. "She explained it already, it was simple as that." "No I want to hear it from you." He closed his eyes tight clenching his jaw, "I decided that we could use you to get the money I inherited and get even more by getting you pregnant, my parents love you and hate her if I stayed with you they'd give the money easily." Hearing it all over again hurt, I looked at rafe who still wouldn't look at me.

"When you told me you were falling for me on that bridge were you just saying that?" He stayed quiet, "rafe look at me." He lifted his head turning to me, his eyes captured mine. "When I told you that it wasn't planned, I just said it without thinking, because I truly am." My heart did flips in my chest, I felt those butterflies flutter in my stomach again. "When I let you be my first did you tell her?" He instantly shook his head, "I stopped talking to her a couple days before." I slowly nodded my head tapping my nails on the table softly.

"What happened with you and JJ?" I asked
"Why do I feel like I should be asking you that question?" He muttered "You want me to tell you about how your brother-" "Please don't finish that sentence." He rubbed his temples trying to act like he didn't hear anything, "You really want to hear this story?" "Rafe I've been waiting months to hear this fucking story." He chuckled a little leaning back "It started senior year of high school, JJ and I got into an accident one night. It wasn't too bad he broke his arm I broke my ankle, and to help the pain I decided to go and get some weed, and one day our parents found my stash, and I just pinned it on JJ, which they sent him to rehab for a month, he also lost his spot at inheriting the company.

"Have you ever thought about getting therapy?" I was in complete shock on what I just heard, what kind of person is this sick? "I have recently yes, which has gotten me closer to JJ." I nodded my head taking it all in. "Can I ask you some questions now?" Rafe asked, I nodded my head crossing my legs, "Why'd you lie to me about you and JJ?" I bit the inside of my top lip shrugging, "Because things were said that I'm sure JJ would like to forget." He arched his brow staring at me as if he was challenging me. "What were the things said?" "He um, told me he loved me." Rafes eyes tripled its size, his jaw dropped looking at me. "You're fucking with me right?" I laughed shaking my head no, "Yeah he said he loved me and wanted me to divorce you, which I declined being under contract."

Rafe still looked shocked overall, "Never knew he had the balls." He muttered "You would not believe." His shocked expression turned into a mortified one, "Oh god was that some type of joke about what you two did?" I started laughing, then laughed even harder realizing that what I said could come off as such. "No I wasn't even trying, oh fuck that's hilarious." "That's not funny that's completely disgusting." His face was scrunched up, "Sorry my sense of humor is messed up a lot." A smile started to appear on his face, just only a little.

"Did we get all our questions answered?" He asked letting me calm myself down, "Yeah, I feel content now." I started to get up tapping my hand on the table, "Wait just one more thing." I sat back down looking at him interested, "The divorce papers, we still on that?" He asked, I arched my brow shaking my head no, "I'll call to tell them it's off when you get rid of the contract." "I got rid if that thing a few months ago, go ahead and call Angel." He smirked getting up, "Wait what?" I followed him into the kitchen, only to hear him chuckle a little. "When I realized I had feelings for you I decided I didn't need them." I smiled feeling my cheeks heat up for some reason, "Well I called this morning already." His smug smirk turned into a puzzled look, "I was packing to come back, but someone wanted to be all caveman like and do it himself." I smirked leaning on the counter,

"Well then I think this calls for a celebration."
"Cheesecake?" I asked excitedly, he smirked nodding his head making a huge smile form on my lips. "Cheesecake."
