"My dad kicked me out, and I've got nowhere to go," Rafe confessed, his voice wavering as he fought to hold back his emotions.
Jade's body stiffened; she had never seen her ex-boyfriend in this state. Even during their breakup, he didn't appear this shattered.
"What on earth have you done?" she sighed, shutting her bedroom window with a decisive snap. He took his time to answer, prompting her to turn toward him, her frustration palpable in her posture, arms tightly crossed over her chest.
"I screwed up... trying to pay Bary back," Rafe mumbled in a barely audible voice, so quiet that Jade had to strain to catch his words. He kept his gaze lowered, ashamed of what he was about to confess. "My dad caught me trying to steal..."
Jade slapped her forehead in frustration, struggling to believe what she had just heard. "Damn it, Rafe..." she groaned, the words escaping her with a mix of exasperation and disbelief. "You shouldn't be here; this is a terrible idea..."
He took a desperate step toward her, clasping his hands together in a pleading gesture. "Please, Jade, just for one night. I'll sleep on the floor if you want!" he begged, his voice tinged with genuine desperation. He had nowhere else to turn—his friends were at a party, so crashing at their place wasn't an option.
"Oh, you're absolutely sleeping on the floor!" Jade snapped, rolling her eyes dramatically. There was no chance they'd be sharing a bed—JJ would lose his mind, and she wasn't up for it anyway. "Just one night, and then you're out of here!"
The young man let out a long, relieved sigh and instinctively reached out to wrap his arms around his ex-girlfriend. "I knew I could count on you," he said with a hopeful smile, only to be met with a firm rejection.
Jade shoved him away before his arms could fully embrace her and took a deliberate step back to create more space between them. "If you're staying the night, you're not allowed to touch me or flirt with me!" she warned, wrinkling her nose in frustration and already regretting her decision.
Rafe responded with nothing more than a nod, utterly captivated by each of her movements. Even as she pushed him away, he found her irresistibly cute. He missed Jade more than he could put into words. He watched as she walked over to her bed, grabbed a pillow, and tossed it onto the floor. A wistful smile crept onto his lips as memories of their first kiss flooded his mind.
As she pulled a blanket off her bed and spread it on the floor, Jade caught the intense gaze her ex-boyfriend was directing at her. "Planning to keep staring at me all night?" she asked, feigning irritation. Deep down, she tried to convince herself that his lingering look didn't affect her at all.
