"So what exactly are we doing here?" I asked to Rafe as I got off his bike, he wanted to take me out today and well my grandfather forced me to leave the house with him. He had taken us to the club and we pulled up in the carpark.

"I thought it'd be good for us to go out." Rafe says looking at me from the other side of his bike making me raise an eyebrow at him.

"So you basically invaded my house to come take me out on a date?"

"I'd like to look at in another point of view."

"Care to elaborate?" I said watching as he walked around the bike to stand in front of me tilting his head to look at me.

"Well seeing as you don't have any service on The Cut I thought I'd make a personal appearance."

"I'm sorry not all of us can afford backup generators, we're not rich and don't own a boat for personal leisure."

"Ouch." He says putting a hand on his chest playfully making me snicker, he pulls me into him smirking, "But it gives me an excuse to come see you in person."

"You're such a suck up you know that?" I said giving him a look and he laughs, putting a finger under my chin before leaning down to kiss me. Kissing him was sending my stomach into flips, he pulls away smiling down at me.

"Come on." Rafe says putting his hand in mine before pulling me and I smiled letting him pull me.

"You sure it's a good idea for us to be here? I mean we could've gone anywhere." I said as Rafe takes me inside and Rafe shrugs his shoulders.

"You were here the other day."

"Yeah with my mum and grandfather. What will people think if they see us together?"

"Is that such a bad thing?"

"Did you ever tell your friends about me?" I said looking at Rafe who had stopped now looking at me, "In the two years we were together, we kept this a secret. Nobody and I mean nobody knew I was sleeping with you and now...."

"And now what?"

"Are you sure you want to be seen out with me?"

"What are you talking about Leah?" Rafe says furrowing his eyebrows making me purse my lips.

I don't know why I was so worried about people seeing us, but each time we had gotten together it was always at parties and when we went on dates we went to the mainland. We had secret hook-up places so we could getaway.

I always knew though deep down that if people were to ever find out they would talk shit, they already did especially the Kooks. One year with them and let me tell you, it was a hell from beginning to end.

"I just don't want this to effect how people see you, that's all."

"See me?"

"Yes Rafe, see you sleeping with somebody that's from the wrong side of town. We've never been with public with it before and I don't know what it is now but to-,"

"Okay slow down." Rafe says cutting me off laughing, "I never told anyone before because we agreed to keep it a secret, I would've been fine either way. I don't care what other people say."

"Look we can just go somewhere else." I said pulling on his hand to walk out but he pulls me back to look at him.

"Aurelia, are you ashamed to be seen with me in public?" He says playfully gasping making me give him a look slapping his chest and he laughs.

"More like it should be the other way around."

"Why do you care?"

"I don't. But people talk and-,"
