The night had a gentle calm to it. The sky was clear, stars scattered across the heavens like tiny diamonds. Rafe Cameron, usually full of energy and unpredictability, had finally decided to take a night off from everything. Tonight, he had you to himself. And even though his life was far from simple, with endless chaos around every corner, it always felt like home when it was just the two of you.

You were both sitting in his truck, parked just outside the beach. The engine had been turned off for a while, and now the only sound was the soft crash of waves against the shore. Rafe was leaning back in the driver's seat, his arm stretched across the back of the seat, his fingers lightly brushing against your shoulder as you sat with your legs pulled up to your chest.

"Isn't this nice?" you said, your voice calm, almost a whisper. The warmth of his body close to yours was a comfort, and in this moment, it felt like the weight of the world could be forgotten.

Rafe gave you a lazy grin, one that only appeared when he was truly relaxed. "Yeah, it is. A quiet night. Who knew we'd get one?"

You both chuckled at that, knowing how rare it was for things to stay quiet for long in your lives. But somehow, tonight, everything was perfect. The ocean breeze tousled your hair as you tilted your head back to look at the stars, taking in the beauty of the night. It wasn't often you had moments like these with Rafe—just pure, uninterrupted calm.

"Tell me something," Rafe spoke up, his voice a little more serious now. "What's the one thing that's always on your mind?"

You turned to face him, finding the thoughtful look in his eyes. It wasn't something Rafe often showed—he was usually too guarded to share what was truly on his mind. But in this moment, with the night sky above and the soft crashing of the waves as the only sound, it felt like he trusted you with his thoughts.

You thought for a moment, unsure of how to respond. "I guess... I think about the future a lot. Not in a worrying way, but like, where we'll go, what we'll do. I like to think that no matter what happens, we'll always figure it out. Together."

Rafe's lips quirked into a small smile, but there was a hint of something deeper in his gaze. It was admiration, maybe even something more. "Yeah? You really think that?"

You nodded, your heart swelling as you spoke. "I do. I think that no matter what, we've got this."

There was a long silence as Rafe just looked at you, his eyes soft but intense. He didn't need to say anything because you both knew. The bond you shared was unspoken, a connection that didn't need words to be understood.

Rafe shifted closer to you, his hand reaching for yours. His touch was warm, the familiar feeling of his fingers interlacing with yours bringing a sense of calm that you couldn't explain. "I want to believe that, too. I really do."

You smiled, turning your hand so you could hold his more tightly. "Then believe it. We'll figure it out, just like we always do."

A quiet laugh escaped Rafe's lips, and you saw a glimpse of something softer in him. "You always know what to say, don't you?"

You shrugged, feeling a little shy. "I guess I just speak the truth. You're my person, Rafe. I don't need anything else."

His eyes softened, and for a moment, it was as if everything else in the world disappeared. He didn't have to hide behind his tough exterior or his usual bravado. With you, he was just Rafe—the guy who loved you, and the one who would do anything to keep you safe, no matter what the world threw at him.

Without another word, Rafe leaned in, gently pressing his lips to yours. It was a slow kiss, one that spoke volumes more than any words could. You could feel everything in it—the love, the trust, and the promise that no matter how difficult things got, you would face them together.

When he pulled away, his hand still holding yours, he rested his forehead against yours, his breath warm against your skin. "I'm not going anywhere," he whispered. "Not without you."

You smiled, your heart fluttering in your chest. "Good, because I'm not going anywhere either."

The two of you sat there for a while longer, in the quiet of the night, just holding each other. The world could wait—this moment was yours, and nothing else mattered.

In a life full of unpredictability, chaos, and everything in between, you had found something steady. Something constant. Rafe. And that was all you needed.
