Mae's pov

"Finally" he whispered into the room as I grimaced. I stayed face his door and let out a heavy hearted sigh before I turned around to face him.

I crossed my arms over my chest defensively and raised an eyebrow at him. He rose from his spot on the bed and paced slowly over to me.

I kept a strong serious posture as his hand reached out to grab my hands. I stepped back quickly before rushing to grab my bag.

"Where are you going?" He asked rushed and flustered. I glared at him a little but my heart was breathing faster than usual.

"I'm leaving" I mumbled and went to walk past him when he moved to fast for me to react.

His hand rested on mine which held my bag and his other gripped my waist. I let out a gasp as he starred at me deeply.

"Mae, don't leave" he whispered his eyes so gentle, so truthful. I melted into he gaze and allowed him to grab the bag out of my hand and place it back down onto the floor.

"Why not?" I breathed trying to remain annoyed at him but his presence so close to me was a little overwhelming.

"Because I care Mae!" he snapped as I flinched slightly before he took a moment to regain himself.

"If you cared so much, you wouldn't have ditched me in the first place!" I snapped back irritated.

"I panicked! I panicked and I left" He said his voice drifting away at the end. I sucked in a breath as tried to keep my cool.

"Yeah, you did!" I shouted back and went to grab my bag again when he wrapped his arm further around my waist. I gasped as he pulled me into him with a tight grip around my waist while his other hand sunk around the back of my head.

He leaned down pressing his lips against mine gruffly as I stupidly allowed a small moan to echo off my lips. I could feel myself melting into him, our lips dipped and curved against each others as our bickering faded into the shallow waves of the kiss. My head was light under his touch, I could feel his fingers moving over the back of my head, so gentle making me want more. He pulled back for a breath and that was all I needed to inhale some oxygen before gradually gaining my common sense back. 

He went to lean back in but I quickly pulled away regaining control over myself. The waves we created crashed against the rocks and the feuding tension surrounded us once more. There was a feeling need for him and a haze of desire enclosed around me but I still backed out of his grasp.  He looked at me his blues eyes darkened and his breathing was uneven as he watched me.

"Rafe, your.... your such a fucking  jerk.." I said through slightly gritted teeth but my words still weak. This time he doesn't protest when I grabbed my bag and exit his room but I felt a sadness loom behind me.

It was too late to go home so I scowered his house for an empty spare room. I found it down stairs around the back corner close to the kitchen. I changed out of the dress and heels before flopping onto the bed. I was utterly exhausted emotional and physically, I hate to admit it but my feet were killing me.

There was still warm tingle on my lips from where Rafe's had collided with mine. I felt a few tears prickling at the edges of my eyes, but I did not dare let them fall even if I am alone. If Rafe Cameron really wanted me then he would just suck it up and forget about his toxic addiction to reputations and birth status. Even with all that rattling in the back of my mind, I still wish I was with him right now. Why did he have to be so damn alluring?

Shortly I was asleep, warm and cozy finally free in the dream realm away from Rafe.

--

I awoke to two voices outside my room, echoing from the kitchen. I yawned and rubbed my eyes as I sat up from my cozy place. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and squinted waiting for my eyes to adjust to the daylight. I crept quietly over to the door being the curious being I was; I started to eavessdrop.

"Look Sarah, you're too young to understand" I heard Rafe mumble annoyed.

"What's such the big deal. You like her don't you?" Sarah, his adorable little sister squeaked out.

'Well yeah" Rafe grumbled and I could almost feel him rolling his eyes.

"So then why are you letting stupid little things get in the way?" Sarah asked innocentally.

"Sarah, they aren't little" he swiftly replied back which earned him a groan from his younger sister.

"Rafe, someone in another country or even another state, town will no care or even know what a Kook or Pogue is" she said and I smiled. This kids got some brains, I hope she doesn't get brainwashed by this society.

"Okay Sar! Point made." Rafe grumbled.

I heard a few more small noises before the room went silent minutes later, indicating to me that the room was empty. I grabbed my stuff deciding that it was time for me to go home and hoping not to run into Rafe on the way out.

I opened the door and crept out of the room, turning my head side to side as I scanned the room. No Rafe in sight. I sighed in relief and started to make my way out his house. I was exiting out his front door when I opened the door and collided with a solid person.

I stumbled back and was thankful to be able to catch myself before I fell down. I looked up to meet with those oh so familiar and calming blue eyes.

"Leaving so soon?" Rafe said tauntingly sweet.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes trying to suppress the tension surrounding us.

"It isn't soon, I've been here the whole night" I said teasingly back and pushed past him, basically squashing him against the door frame. He groaned at my actions and the small pain now in his back before he quickly called out again. Although I wasn't listening to him, the sound of his groan, so low and shivering still rang through my head.
I watched him stare at me contently; waiting for a reply to a question I didn't know.

"Why do you keep avoiding me? I've tried to say sorry and... you keep running away. What do you want?" He asked his eyes frantic as they scanned my face. Before my mind could catch up with my lips, my answer was slipping off of my tongue.

"For it to be real"
