Love, Drugs and Destruction

34. Please for the last time

I stopped in front of his trailer and got out; I rolled my eyes at the dirty comments the men gave me and walked onto the porch; Barry was sitting with some guys drinking. "Princess, good to see you," Barry says, and I smile. "You too, Barry. Do you have pills for me?" I ask, and he shakes his head, lighting a cigarette. "I told you, princess, I am not selling to you anymore." He says, and I nod, biting my lip.

"I know, but please, I need it; I promise it will be the last time," I beg, and he sits back. "No Lia, I am not doing it." He says, and I run my hands down my face frustrated. "Look, Barry, I really had a shit day, and I just need like 6, not more please I will even pay double," I beg, and he laughs, standing up. "I promise some people I would not sell to you." He says, and I frown. "Who, Rafe? Well, he doesn't have a say about my life," I say, and he nods.

"Okay fine." He says, and I smile, following him to the room. He handed me the pills, and I gave him the money. "This is the last time Lia." He says, and I nod. "I am serious." He says, and I roll my eyes. "I know, thanks," I say, walking out of the house. I texted Lucy to see what she was doing, and she let me know a few of them were having a pool party and that I should join. I drove to her house, and she greeted me with a hug.

"Come, let's get you a drink." She says, and I nod. Walking with her. I must say Lucy has grown on me, and she really was a fun girl to hang out with, and seeing that I do not have friends anymore, she is it. "So tell us, how was it dating Rafe Cameron, the old version." A girl asks. I think her name is Amanda. I roll my eyes, everyone looking at me.

"What do you mean the old version?" I ask sipping my drink. "You know the drug-using angry Rafe." She says, and I laugh. "Fucking exhausting, and he was possessive and abusive," I say, and she looks at me, shocked. "Talking shit about Rafe Lia?" I turn and see Kelch and Topper smiling and I grin.

"Yeah, and if I remember correctly, both of you were there the last time he choked me so bad that I struggled to breathe," I say, and everyone looks at them. Kelch looks down, and Topper rubs the back of his neck. "Rafe changed," Topper says, and I nod. "So they say," I say standing up. I walked to the pool and sat on the edge, my feet in the water. "I am really sorry he did that to you, Lia," Topper says, sitting next to me, and I nod.

"Me too," I say sipping my drink. "So how are you since he is back?" He asks, and I sigh. "I'm okay," I say and he nods. "I see you are finally over, Sarah," I say, smiling, and he laughs. "Yeah fuck I cannot believe I hope for so long that we will get back together." He says, and I giggle. "You know she was actually a bitch for cheating on me with a pogue." He says, and I nod. "She is still a bitch; now she is just a bitch that is in a relationship with a dirty pogue," I say, and he raises his eyebrows at me. Surprise.

"What?" I ask, smiling, and he shrugs. "I just never heard you talk about them like that. Are you not friends with them anymore?" He asks, and I shake my head. "No," I say and he nods. "So it looks like both the Camerons are fucking pogues." He says, and I nod. "Don't worry, Topper, they both downgraded from us," I say, and he laughs. "You're right." It was quiet between us again.

It was the first time me and Topper ever had a conversation on our own and he is not a bad guy. "So are you dating someone?" He asks, and I look at him. "No, I am too messed up to date right now," I say, and he nods. "And you and Zac, I've seen you guys together a few times." He says, and I
smile.

"Just fuck buddies," I say, and he looks shocked. "Fuck Lia never thought you were so wild." I laugh finishing my drink. "I never was until I met a boy who made me like this," I say, standing up to get another drink. I went to sit with Lucy and the others again just drinking and having a good time. My phone rang, and I smiled, seeing Zac's name. I stood up and walked away to take the call.

"Hi," I answer with a smile. "Hey you, what you up to?" "At a pool party, how is work?" He sighs, and I smile. "Fucking boring. Listen Rafe phoned." He says, and I roll my eyes. "What did he want?" "He is worried about you." "And what did he ask you to check up on me?" I ask angry now. "Lia, I have told you before, and I will tell you again you are a big girl. I am not here to tell you what to do, and no I am not spying on you for him." He says and I sigh.

"Okay, thank you." "Do you want to talk about it?" He asks, and I run my hands through my hair. "Not really," I say sipping my drink again. "Okay, well, I have a meeting in a few, so we will talk later." "Okay, maybe I can come over tonight?" "Anytime beautiful. Talk later." We said goodbye, and I walked back to where the others were.

"Hey man thought you were at work today." I hear Topper say, and I look to where Rafe came in greeting Topper and Kelce. "Glad to see he did not bring his Pogue girlfriend," Lucy said, but my eyes were on Rafe. He was already looking at me even if Topper was talking to him. I could not help but stare at his beautiful face; his lips were so red, and I just wanted to kiss him one more time. He smiles at me as if he knows what I am thinking, and I blush, looking down.

I peek up again only to see him walking to me. My throat closed, and I wanted to run; why does he have such a hold on me? Why can't I seem to hate him? He just ruined my life and had me lose my close friends. Yet here I am thinking about kissing him. He stops in front of me, and I can see his beautiful blue eyes. He stuck his hand out, and I frowned. He leans in so no one can hear. "Come with me, baby." My breath hitched at the nickname.

He did not take his eyes off me, and my body started moving on its own. I take his hand, and he smiles as we walk into the house and up the stairs. We walk into a room and Rafe closes the door. He turns around, leaning against the door, watching me. I finally snap out of it and I cross my arms. "What do you want?" I ask, and he smiles, walking closer to me.

"I saw the way you looked at me." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist, and I did not push him away. "And how was that?" I ask, and he smiles, leaning in, his lips brushing my neck and then my ear. "Like you want to fuck me." He said, and I could not breathe; him being this close was fucking with my head. "Nope, I do not fuck men that are in a relationship," I say, pushing him away, and he laughs.

"Come on baby you know you want to." He taunts me, and at that moment, I decide fuck it, and I pull him closer, smashing my lips to his; he smiles at the kiss and then pulls me closer by my waist. I started pulling on his shirt, and then I pulled it over his head; he did the same with my shirt, kissing my neck. He pushes me onto the bed hovering over me. "I still hate you," I say, pulling away, and he nods.

"I know, baby, but I still love you." He said, and before I could reply, he moved down my body sucking and licking his way down. I do not know if I am making a mistake, but at this moment, I do not care.

Okay, so what do we think? Will Rafe be able to save Lia?
