CHAPTER XIX —
LEARN THE RULES.
SARAH SLOWLY CLAPPED AS CASSIDY MADE HER WAY INTO THE ROOM, a bottle of wine hanging loosely from her hand. She brought the bottle to her lips and bowed slightly, grinning at her friend from her spot in the doorway. "Twas a hell of a performance, Cass. Truly the best I've ever seen."Cass laughed and walked forward, falling onto the mattress as she held the bottle out for Sarah to take. She did exactly that and took a long sip before handing it back, her eyes flickering to the hallway as Rafe paused for look in. He met her eyes and shook his head, slamming the door to his room when he disappeared from sight.
"Guess he wasn't impressed," Cassidy shrugged, not bothering to turn around because she already knew who it was. Rafe had always had a temper and he had never been the best at keeping it maintained.
Sarah laughed and peered around to see if the coast was clear before she leaned in, her eyes narrowing as Cass took another sip of wine. Christian and Ward had gone off to talk business, Rose had gone off doing whatever it was that she usually did and Wheezie had barricaded herself in her room.
"So..."
"So..." Cassidy echoed Sarah's words, waiting for her to get the hell on with what she wanted to know. She could read Sarah Cameron like a book and she knew that the girl was begging to ask something personal. She had no doubt it was about the boy who had just slammed the door and her intuition proved itself when she finally spoke up.
"Rafe never came home after Topper's party and I know that he didn't sleep there. So... Was he with you?"
Cassidy nodded nonchalantly, taking yet another sip of wine. She wasn't in the mood to talk about Sarah's brother right now. All she wanted to do was get drunk enough to do something stupid so that she could take her attention off of everything that had happened that day.
"Did you sleep with him?"
"Jesus, Sarah. This is your brother that we're talking about—"
"So you did," Sarah sat nat with a smug smile on her face, her arms crossed in a manner that screamed 'I knew it'. She had foreseen something going down between the two of them but she also thought that JJ Maybank may have thrown a kink into that plan.
Cassidy only shrugged. She wasn't going to give Sarah the satisfaction of knowing that she was right but she also wasn't going to try and lie about it when it was clear that she already knew. "This is good wine."
"So who's a better kisser: JJ or Ra—"
Sarah's mouth snapped shut as Rafe made another appearance in the doorway. He gently tapped the wood, waiting for Cass to turn around before he nodded for her to get up and follow him.
Cassidy didn't bother to move, only leaned back and gave him a mischievous grin before being the bottle to her mouth. "Look who decided to stop being a little bitch and come out of hiding," she spoke in monotone, her head fuzzy. She had nearly gone through half the bottle and she had only stolen it less than twenty minutes ago.
