Carolina- OUTER BANKS

Ch. 60

Rafe kissed my neck as we laid in the bed "God, I love you." Rafe moaned and I smiled "I love you, too." I muttered then heard my phone buzz. I looked at my phone then at the time and I had Missed calls and texts from my dad, Kiara and Sarah. "Shit!" "What's wrong?" Rafe asked and I slipped on my dress and sighed "I am supposed to be at Kiara's parents Anniversary party right now." I told him and he chuckled "I thought you hated Kiara right now?" "I do... but I made a promise to my dad and to her parents that I'd sing for them." I said and he frowned "Sing? I- I didn't know you could sing." He said and I smirked "Just like an Angel and sweet like sugarcane... so I have to go but... I promise- I will be back later." I told him as I put on my shoes then he pulled me closer and gave me a peck on the cheek. "I love you." "I love you too." I said back to him and I grabbed my purse and walked out.

As I was going down the steps I remembered when JJ told me he loved me... he said don't say too, it means that you're agreeing with the other person. I felt an unease feeling in my stomach but I let it go and walked out the door.

I got to The Wreck and I saw Kiara's parents but Topper stopped me "Liv, hey." He smiled and saw I was a bit flustered. "You alright?" He asked and I cleared my throat "Yeah. I'm fine." I muttered then went over to Kiara's Parents. "Olivia, thank you for coming!" Mrs Anna said and I smiled "I'm sorry I'm late, I got... held up." I said and they shook there heads "Your fine... we are so excited to hear you sing! Thank you for agreeing to do it." "It's your special evening, and you guys have done nothing but support my family over the years, it's the least I could do." I told them and they went up to their little stage and did a speech.

"Thank you. Um... I just want to say a few words, and I'm not much into giving speeches, but I do want to say thank you for coming out and thank you for your support after a rough few months." Mr. Carrera said and I smiled. "I want to say thank you to our daughter for being here. Hey, we love you." He added and I looked to see Kiara and my smile faded as memories came back to mind.

"Love you too." The crowd of guest applauded and Mr. Carrera brought Miss Anna up "But most of all... Thank you, Anna... for years, for making this restaurant a symbol of our life. I love you." I smiled then applauded them, they were something to look up to as a couple, they were great together.

"Figure Eight, the Cut. Everyone's together here... As one island. So, thank you for putting up with us." Mr. Carrera said as the crowd cheered. "Cheers. Thank you all for coming... and we actually have one of our very own local here to sing for you all and we are so grateful for her being one of our daughter's best friends... Give it up for Olivia Bradley." Mr. Carrera announced and I got up onto the stage and smiled.

Hi everyone... uh Cheers to Mike and Anna, I am grateful to have known you and also I'd like to thank y'all for what you have done for me and my family."

I grabbed the guitar and I looked to Kiara and Sarah looking at me, I sighed then stepped up to the mic, the band started playing as i strummed the guitar.

I think I fell in love today
He thinks it's too soon to say
But my heart told me so
I don't know exactly how it happened
It kinda felt like magic
I guess when you know, you know

'Cause love don't have any rules
When gravity starts to pull
You closer to another
From a friend to a lover
Looks like forever in his eyes
That don't happen all the time
But when it does, it changes everything
I think I fell in love today

I think I fell in love today
I'm sure he saw it on my face 'cause
I couldn't break my smile, yeah
The stars weren't lined up in a row
There was no firework show
But in that moment, he was mine

As I strumming I looked out at the crowd seeing Topper then seeing my dad with my siblings.

'Cause love don't have any rules
When gravity starts to pull
You closer to another
From a friend to a lover
Looks like forever in his eyes
That don't happen all the time
But when it does, it changes everything
And I think I fell in love today, yeah
I think I fell in love today, yeah yeah

Ask me again, a few years down the road
'Cause I guess by then, we'll know

I think I fell in love today
I'm sure I've never felt this way with you
And I think you may just feel the same
So baby won't you say you love me too

Once I finished, I put the guitar down then I saw Kiara and Sarah talking and I quickly grabbed a drink and downed it, I took a deep breathe then walked over to them "Hey, Sarah. Kiara." "Liv, you- you were amazing up there." Kiara said and I gave her a small smile. "Thanks." "Can we talk... please?" Kie asked and I cleared my throat "Sure." I muttered and we moved over to the side and I looked out on the water "So, uh Pope messaged me what happened. Why the hell are you with Rafe?" Kiara questioned and Sarah's eyes widened.

"What?!?"

"I was trying to be a double agent!" I yelled then saw everyone looking at me and I cleared my throat "Never mind. Look, I wasn't trying to betray you guys. I was trying to talk to Rafe about getting the cross back but... he already melted it down... so I tried to at least see if I could get some money for the Pogues. You know... Pope didn't believe me, so why should you guys." I told them rolling my eyes and about to leave but Kiara grabbed my arm.

"We do believe you, you're our best friend..." Kiara said and Sarah nodded "Yeah." "And I'm sorry we hurt you. I mean I didn't want to hurt you. We- JJ and I didn't want to hurt you." Kiara said and I sighed. "I know you didn't. But what's done is done, right? I'm with Rafe now." I muttered and she frowned "So you're really with him?" She asked and I nodded. "He's changed. Over this past week, he's showed me the old Rafe. The one who never murdered anyone or stole anything, just old Rafe." I said and looked at Sarah and she looked at me with disbelief.

"Olivia." I heard and I turned around to see JJ "What are you doing here?" I questioned and he looked baffled "So you and Rafe?" He asked and I looked to the ground "JJ-" I muttered looking up at him but he stopped me. "You know what I don't care... you guys deserve each other..." he said and I frowned. "It's not simple JJ!" "You and Rafe are both crazy!" He said and I stopped then nodded. "I am crazy! I have to be for my family, JJ! And I'm sorry that you don't know the meaning of that!" I yelled and suddenly out of nowhere he slapped me.

I held the side of my face and stared at him as my breathing staggered "Liv I-" I held my hand up taking a step back. "Stay the hell away from me." I said then shook my head and backed away. I saw John B and Topper fighting and I made my escape from the party with my dad calling for me but I just ran to my car.

⚠️ Some sexual content ahead... not smut, i don't really write it so continue on!😂😂 ⚠️

I went back to Tannyhill and Rafe was chilling by the pool "You're back early." He said and I noticed he was just in his swim shorts so he was showing off his abs. I just threw my purse down and pulled Rafe into a deep kiss, he pulled away and I frowned. "I love the greeting but is something wrong? Did something happen at the party?" I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Yeah and I'm pissed off... so do you want to take me right here or do you want me to just leave and never come back?" I asked him but he just nodded then pulled me into a passionate kiss, I wrapped my arms around his neck then jumped into his arms. He brought me to his room and started kissing my neck then all the way down to my stomach, he stopped then pulled off my dress leaving me in my Bra and Underwear.
