WILD RIDE (Rafe Cameron x OC) *COMPLETE*

Chapter Eighty (Alana)

CHAPTER EIGHTY

Alana

The Next Day

Rafe and I decided to have a day on the boat. To live a little while Leah is with Rose and Wheezie. Little did we know that we'd be sitting on the boat by the dock and overhead my brother riding by on a police boat that they're looking for Groff.

In an instant the color drains from Rafe's face. "Do you know something I don't about this Groff guy? I mean why the hell is my brother after him?"

My husband remains silent and ducks down low. Pulling my by the wrist with him while John B, Sarah, and the Pogues pull up to a boat parked ahead of us. JJ hops off and starts tying shit off.

"We need a boat. Half of us are already going to jail anyways." Pope says with a shrug. "Fuck it."

"Rafe... They're stealing a fucking boat. And it's not like the docks are empty today, Mrs. Baker is literally pointing at them while on the phone. I have a feeling-"

"Yeah. I know." Rafe grunts at me. "Listen, I wanted today to be about us.. I wanted to tell you something that might piss you off but I wanted to talk to you about some other shit too."

I nod. "Yeah... There's some stuff I wanted to talk about too."

"You do?" Rafe raises a brow and swallows hard. "Good or bad?"

I scoff. "Depends on this Goat Island situation. I mean.. I know what they said about Wes Genrette's will but Hollis said-"

"Hollis lied." Rafe cuts me off. "Groff lied too. I wanted to tell you yesterday but I was so tore up over it. And then I felt so guilty... Losing that money that was for our future. For Leah's future. For every dream we had. I'm so fucking sorry, Alana..."

His voice was broke and sincere. A tear welling in his eyes and I wiped it away with my thumb while I cupped his face in my hand. Pressing a soft kiss to his lips. Only to be distracted a few moments later at the sound of people shouting for the cops and that the Pogues were stealing a boat.

"We need to find a way to Morocco!" JJ shouted. "That's the only way we can beat Groff at his game!"

Rafe and I shared a look.

"I'll text Rose..." I mutter and Rafe gives me a nod.

"Hold on, baby girl. We're going for a ride real quick. Do you trust me?" I shouldn't because he lost us so much money but I know if he's determined to get it back. He will. "Sit down and let Daddy handle it, alright?" He winks.

Rafe starts driving the boat just a few yards off, away from the docks toward a much larger boat.

"I thought you didn't like when I called you that?" I tease him and he turns over his shoulder to grin at me. "Don't tell me you're into it now."

"When I'm deep enough inside of you I don't really care what you call me. Everything sort of goes fuzzy in my head and I have to force myself not to come too fast." He admits with a shit eating grin. "Damn.. I really wanted boat sex today."

I stay on the boat for the time that Rafe is up on the other boat talking to whoever it is that's up there. I don't really pay attention because I'm so busy texting Rose about Leah. I tell her I'm not sure how long business will be keeping us away but I explain to her that it's really important. Rose doesn't mind at all.

I'm sure she's used to this shit from being married to Ward for as long as she was. And it sucks that Rafe and I are repeating the cycle with Leah, the one that Rafe wanted ever so badly to break. The good thing is she's little and won't ever remember us being away. The worst part? She's little and we're in danger of missing such big milestones in her life from being away from her.
