Keep In Touch (m.g.c Interracial)

Chapter 25

Michael's P.O.V

"No, you're a cheater!" Rayna screamed outraged at my actions.

"How am I cheating?! It landed on a pink one so I picked a pink one!" I shouted back due to the excitement of the game.

Right now we're doing the beanboozled challenge. I invited the boys but they all said that they couldn't make it.

I feel like lately every time I invite them to something they are busy, especially Ash. He said that he couldn't make it today because he had to tune his didgeridoo. I knew it was an excuse but I just let it go because I'm sure he has his reasons for not coming.

"Yeah, sure. Just spin again." Rayna spoke sarcastically.

"I bet you I'll get another good one. I've always had luck on my side." I beamed confidently.

However my luck was clearly not with me when I spun the thing because right now I'm eating a moldy cheese flavored jelly bean.

"What the hell is this?!? Who even makes this shit?! That is fucking disgusting, that's some type of cruel and unusual punishment. I'm done with this game!" I exaggerated as I attempted but failed to swallow the disgusting jelly bean.

"This is not funny. I feel like I'm about to die over here. That shit gave me a headache." I said in response to Rayna's laughter.

"Hell Yeah it is, you should see your face. And you laughed at me every time I got a bad one, so I'm going to laugh my ass of now that you finally got one. And trust me that's even the worst one." she said before bursting back into laughter.

"Whatever. Are you done with this dumb ass game because I don't want to do it any more, it's not even fun." I said knowing I'm only saying this because I finally got a bad flavor.

"Such a sore loser." Rayna snickered under her breath as she began to clean up the jelly beans from off of the table.

"Whatever, keep talking and you're going to be the sore one." I said as to Rayna with a suggestive smirk.

"Oh, okay. Don't start anything you can't finish now Mikey." she retorted.
------------------------------------

"Do you want something to eat?" Rayna quizzed as we entered the kitchen together.

"No thanks, I think I'm just going to eat some cereal." I replied curtly.

"Okay." she replied simply.

She isn't normally this short with me and she's been acting kind of weird since we woke up a few hours ago. She's probably just on her period or something, but I'm not necessarily in the best mood either so I'm not even going to try and figure out what's wrong with her.

We ate in silence and then when I was leaving the kitchen to go get ready for the day I decided to talk to her about whatever's bothering her because I know if I don't it will all just blow up.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I question as I hug her from behind while she does the dishes.

"Nothing." she said dryly.

"Don't say that, you can tell me what's going on." I said and comforted her with a kiss.

"to be honest I'm not really sure what's wrong. I just kind of want to be alone right now."

"Okay." I replied before kissing her forehead and then walking away to go get in the shower.

Walkimg out if the bathroom and into my bedroom I see Rayna just laying on the bed silently watching TV.

Her attitude tight now is really bothering me because it's so unlike her usual self. Normally she's so lively and talkative, any other time she would be screaming at the TV right now not just watching it.

"Ray, can you please tell me what's going on with you? This is bothering me, you're acting so strange." I said as I climbed in bed with her and brought her to my chest.

"It's nothing Mikey I promise." she said with a fake smile and then a kiss to my cheek.

"I know you're lying. Why don't you want to tell me?"

"I don't want to tell you because I don't want to believe it myself." she said lowly.

"You don't want to believe what, what are you talking about?" I asked muddled.

"Nothing, it doesn't really matter."

"Yes it does. You're my girlfriend and I love you so if you're bothered by something and I can fix it then that's what I'm goimg to do."

"That's the thing. I'm afraid that you will 'fix' what's bothering me." she said dejectedly.

"Ray, you speaking in code isn't going to help me make you feel better. Just tell me what's going on." u said trying to lighten the mood a bit.

"I know you talked to Dima the other day." she let out after a long sigh.

I was slightly taken aback by her words because I didn't know she knew about that conversation.

"Oh, yeah I did talk to her. I was just asking her if it was okay for me to give her number to a friend of mine in philly because he's looking for a photographer and I know that she does photography." I recalled details of our call while of course leaving out some bits.

"Yeah, I heard. Michael you don't have to lie to me. I heard you tell her how much you miss her." Rayna stated and the look her eyes made me feel like complete shit.

"Oh yeah." I said stupidly scratching the back of my neck unable to think of anything better.

"I understand that she was like your first live or whatever, but I just... I just thought that maybe after a while you'd come to see how much I genuinely love you and I thought you'd be able to live me the same way."

"I do love you Ray." I stated truthfully and leaned in to give her a kiss but she turned her head.

"I believe you Michael, but I also know that the love you have for her will always be greater than any love you could have for me and ive known this for a while but coming to terms with the fact that the person you're in love with and have been with for 2 years is in love with someone else is hard." she said as tears brimmed her eyes. Knowing her she's not going to let them fall, she's too stubborn.

I know it's probably wrong but this fact makes me feel a little better because u don't know what I'll do if she starts crying. Nonetheless I still feel like a piece of shit.

"Rayna, I honestly don't even know what to say. You know that I love you, and I was talking to Dima strictly as a friend the other day."

"That's the thing. You just love me, but I'm in love with you."

As I opened and closed my mouth racking my brain for the right words she spoke up again.

"And just say whatever 2 truly feel. I promise I won't be hurt, I just want you to be honest with me because in the end my own thoughts and insecurities probably hurt more than whatever you're going to say."

She's putting me in such a hard spot right know, but I know that if what she's saying isn't true then I wouldn't have any second thoughts.

"Ugh, Rayna I really don't want to do this. I seriously do have feelings for you, but at the same time it's like I can never get her out of my heart."

"I already knew that and honestly I'm okay with it. Of course it hurts because like I said, I'm in love with you. But hearing you say it will make it easier for me to cope and no matter what I want to remain friends." she said with that beautiful smile on her face.

"Thank you so much Rayna. I seriously feel like a piece of shit, I don't deserve you anyway. The fact that you just sat here and actually had a mature conversation with me about this shows just how good of a person you are, that's why I love you." I proclaimed before placing a chaste kiss to her lips.

"I love you too Mikey and I truly only want what's best for you whether it's with Dima or anyone else."

With this being said we decided to call it a night so now I'm laying in bed completely unsure of where we'll go from here or if this is the end.
