No One Knows {Rafe Cameron}

🧭Sister's Keeper🧭

🐚Rafe's POV🐚

   As I took Josie home, I could feel her arms gently squeezing around my torso. She was trying not to squeeze too hard. I lowly chuckled to myself. She's adorable! For some reason, I'm relieved when she's with me. When she's around, all I want to do is keep her by my side. Something about her has my attention. I know she was playing hard to get. The way she was acting when I first encountered her earlier, her body was giving off signals that she wanted me. 

   I stopped my bike once I got to her house. I helped her off and helped her inside. We got inside. She leads me to her bedroom. When I noticed that she was starting to lose her balance, I lifted her up bridal style. I carried her to her bedroom. 

   I gently laid her down on her bed. She grabbed my arm when I was about to walk away. I looked down at her. "Please don't leave." Her eyes were pleading for me to stay. "I don't think that's a good idea princess." Her grip tightens a little tighter. "Please," She gave me pleading eyes. "Stay." 

   "Okay." 

   I slowly got in bed next to her. She made a happy noise. She snuggled into me. I smiled as I wrapped my arm around her. 

   A minute after she fell asleep, I ran my fingers in her hair. She was so beautiful! I smiled to myself.

🐚Josephine's POV🐚

   I woke up with a feeling that I was gonna puke. I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. I ended up puking in the toilet. The alcohol didn't taste good coming out. All of a sudden, I feel a pair of hands pulling my hair back so it's out of the way. I didn't care at the time to wonder who it was. I puked one more time before wiping my mouth off. I groaned. "You okay?" a familiar voice asked. My eyes widen as I shoot a look behind me. It was Rafe Cameron! Oh no! I hope nothing happened. I was so drunk last night that I don't remember anything that happened. Hell....I don't remember getting home! "What the hell are you doing here?!" I quickly stood up but instantly regretted it. I puked more. "Easy. Let me get you some water. You need to get hydrated." 

   Rafe quickly leaves the bathroom to get water. I groaned as I put my hand on my side of the head. I had a headache. I have never been this bad before. I really must have drank more than I usually do. 

   I just can't believe that Rafe Cameron is here in my home! 

   But why?
 
   Was it him that brought me home? 
 
   Did anything happen between us?

   He returned with a glass of water and a bottle of aspirin and handed it to me. "Here. Drink and take one." I slowly took small tiny sips. He gently grabbed my hair again so it wasn't getting in my face. "You'll be okay. Just drink lots of water and you will be fine."  

   "Why are you being nice to me? What happened last night? How did I get home?" 

   "You drank too much last night. Enough to make you not remember a thing. I cut you from drinking and brought you home safely. You wanted me to stay. So, you grabbed my arm and pleaded with me to stay. So, I stayed." 

   I blushed. 

   "But don't worry nothing happened between us last night. I won't do that to you." 

   I sigh in relief. 

   "Unless you want me too." 

   My eyes widened. I looked at him to see a smug smile look on his face. I noticed that he was messing with me. I rolled my eyes. "What is wrong with you?" He chuckled, "Nothing. Just messing with you. I like the reactions that you make." I rolled my eyes again. "Whatever." He chuckles again. 

   I set the cup and aspirin on the sink counter then stood up. Rafe makes sure that I don't fall over by wrapping his arm around me. There are butterflies fluttering around again! I can't....

   Wait a minute! 

   If my brother....if he finds out that Rafe Cameron, a kook, is in our house, he's gonna flip....or worse! I need to get Rafe out of here before my brother finds out.

   I moved away from Rafe which caused him to look confused. "Everything okay?" 

   I cleared my sore throat, "Listen....Rafe...you need to leave before my brother sees you! Please, can you leave?" He looks in my eyes. "I'll leave if you give a date with me a chance." 

   Great!

   "I'll leave. Only, if you go on one date with me. Just asking for only one date." I groaned, "Fine! One date....And one date only!" Rafe smiles and chuckles. "I'll pick you tonight." I deeply sighed, "But not here." He shrugs, "Then I'll pick you up where we ran into each other." He winked. Of course there's butterflies again! 

   After he left, I sober myself up. I drinked plenty of water. I went back to my room to change into a white tank top with a bra built in, sky blue shorts with butterflies all over, tan-ish brown cowgirl boots that go a few inches above my ankle, butterfly themed choker and charm bracelet, sky blue smart watch, and my locket necklace. I put my hair half up in a bun. I placed my phone in my back pocket then did the same with my wallet. I grabbed my lanyard with my keys on it and left the house. 

   I was heading to JJ's house. I was doing some thinking. I was a little harsh on him. But he did kinda deserve it. I wanted to make things right between us. Maybe that is why things are awkward between us. 

   A few minutes later, I made it to his house. I saw JJ working on the engine part of a truck that is sitting in the backyard. He had a shirt that was cut into a muscle shirt on and shorts. His hat was on backwards. His hands were dirty. I always thought he looked hot while he was working on vehicles. I sighed before getting out. I nervously played with my fingers as I walked up to him. I paused a few feet away from him. 

   "Hey JJ,"

🐚JJ's POV🐚

   "Hey JJ," 

   I quickly looked up to see Josie standing there. I was shocked to see her! I quickly set the tool down and put my full attention on her. 

   "Hey Josie," 

   She stood there nervously. 

   I knew she was nervous. When she's nervous she likes to play with her fingers and she bites her lip. 

   "Everything okay?" 

   "Yeah. Um...I know things didn't end well with us...but I've been thinking...we've known each other for a long time. We've been through a lot. I don't like being on bad terms with anyone." There's silence for a few seconds. "Definitely with you." I look at her. "I want to make things right between us JJ." 

   "Me too." 

   I ran my fingers through my hair. "I'm sorry I broke your heart. That was the last thing I wanted to do. With how my life is and me not getting far in life, I didn't want to drag you down with me. I can't give you money or a great house. But then I realized that you didn't care about that stuff and I..." 

   "I know JJ. I was ahead of myself. It's gonna take time but I forgive you." 

   I smile at Josie's words. After hearing that, I'm less tense. 

   "Friends?" 

   She smiles, "Friends!"
