The Sinner

22

Rafe and I pull into the country club parking lot way too quickly.

This wasn't even a spot, but he manages to get out of my car anyway. I hear him slam the door shut, which makes me flinch at the sound. I push open the passenger door and watch the steam radiate off of Rafe's body as he walks away.

"Rafe!" I bark, he turns around over his shoulder and shakes his head at me.

"Get back in the car," He instructs me. I open my mouth to protest, "And you better stay this time." With that he turns around and continues to walk towards the front gate.

I ignore him, grabbing the keys out of the cup holder before following him towards the front gate. I watch the kid that was hired to be security here stand up once he saw Rafe was coming.

"Mr. Cameron," The kid greets with a nod. Rafe completely ignores the poor kid and walks quickly towards where Topper and Kelce were.

"Barry!" Rafe says with a chuckle. "What are you doing here man?"

"What? I can't come to a place like this?" Barry says with a smirk. He looks at me over his shoulder as I walk past the front gate. "I was wondering if you brought the Mrs."

Rafe whips around, a glare on his face once he see's that I followed him here. My nerves continue to raise as I walk closer to the group of boys, but once again I try my best not to show I was scared of Barry.

"How we doing today, Cory?" Barry asks mockingly.

"Fine," I say while crossing my arms over my chest. "What are you here for?"

"What if I told you it was for you?" He says with his eyebrows raised.

"You came all the way here from the cut for me," I repeat.

"You could be useful," He says with a smirk. I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Shut the fuck up," Rafe snaps at him. "What do you actually want?" Barry only smirks, as if to show that Rafe's barking tone meant nothing to him.

"Why does your whole family think I'm some bitch that they can sit on, huh?" He says while shaking his head. Topper exchanges looks with Kelce, as he looks back at the long haired boy. "First I gotta deal with your psycho father, and now your sister too?"

"You're talking about Sarah?" I ask, brows pulled together.

"Yes, that's his sister, is it not?" Barry says with an eye roll.

"Watch the attitude," Rafe warns. Barry scoffs in response. "What are you talking about, my sister?"

"She stole 25k from my house man," Barry shouts. "I'm sick of your family bro-"

"25...25k, what are you talking about?" Rafe says while running a hand through his hair.

"She fucking stole from me is what I'm talking about," Barry snaps back. There's no way Sarah stole, she'd never hurt a fly.

"My little sister," Rafe says.

"Yeah, your little sister. That's why I'm fucking here man." I tilt my head, that seriously makes no sense. Why would Sarah steal $25,000?

"That doesn't make sense," Rafe says. "Sarah's not like that."

"Do I look dumb to you bro? Do you think I don't know what's going on here?"

"There's nothing going on here," I tell him. "So yes, you do look dumb by coming here and embarrassing yourself." Barry's jaw tightens as he looks at me.

"Watch your fucking mouth with me princess, before I put it to use," Barry barks.

"Try me," I say, holding eye contact with him as I take a step closer to the group.
