Mae's pov

We climbed through my bedroom window and I swear when I turned around to close the window I was met by Katelyn quizzing and smirking eyes. I just rolled my eye and shook my head lightly before closing the window and the drapes.

Rafe stood in my room acknowledging the fact it was much neater then the previous time he saw it. I raked a hand back through my hair and gave him a gentle smile.

"You can sit down you know" I said smugly as he rolled his eyes comically at me before taking a seat on my bed. I hummed to myself as I made my way over to the draws fumbling through them to find the perfect article of clothing. I slowly crouched down as I continued to rake through my draws.

I stood up in a huff and placed one hand on my hip whilst the other hand was brought up to my lips were I played with my nail between my teeth. I turned and scanned the room as Rafe chuckled at me. I wasn't sure why he was chuckling so naturally I raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

"What?" I blurted out a little harsh as his eyes raked over me in my slightly panicked state.

"Oh nothing.... what are you looking for?" he drawled and too scanned the room wondering what was the mystery item I was searching for was.

"Just a deep green thing" I said being as vague as possible with a coy smile. I wandered over to my closet and started to shuffle through it grabbing the coat I would wear.

Rafe had stood up now and seemed to spot something hiding at the back of my draws. He crouched down and grabbed the green material in his hands as I watched on. He furrowed his eyebrows at it's small demeanor before I snatched it off him and skipped into the bathroom.

"Thanks Raferty!" I stated and closed the door behind me before he could process.

I stripped off my dress and started to get into the top and skirt which for sure would make Rafe's jaw drop. It was a deep green satin material which was to be put on like a vest, it had a halter neck spaghetti strap feature, it wrapped in a cross over my chest and then around until you tied it at the back. I also decided to wear a  black leather skirt which sat around my belly button and changed into some black high heeled boots to compliment. 

"Okay, I'm ready" I said walking out not paying any attention to Rafe at first as I grabbed my card from my wallet. When I turned I was not disappointed by Rafes reaction. His cheeks were crimson red and his eyes wide as they continued to make their way up and down my body.

His mouth opened slowly as a shaky breath was released, frozen on the spot. I watched as his hand was drawn back through his brunette hair as I took a couple steps closer to him. I snapped my fingers in front of his face and it took a moment to flinch in reaction. His eyes still glued to my body with a look of want written all over him.

"Rafe, are we going to go get this vodka or not?" I asked as he just starred at me blankly for a moment. I tilted my head to the side trying to gain some eye contact and a response from him. His blues eyes connected with mine for a short moment and they were oh so dark. I sucked in a breath myself at how longingly and needing he looked at me. Shortly after he shook his head regaining his focus as I cleared my throat quietly.

"Sorry... I just.. are you trying to make me a butterfly zoo?" he stumbled and scratched the back of his neck flustered. Now I was the one blushing as I dropped my gaze to the ground a giddiness filling my chest. He used my own line against me and I couldn't even be mad because I love the idea of myself giving him butterflies.

"No...I...My god... uh Rafe Cameron! Now you've got me tongue tied!" I started to stumbled before I hit him playfully a soft giggle echoing off my lips. He smirked down at me a small chuckle slipping through his smirk. 

"Let's just go get your vodka..." I mumbled and turned to walk towards the window. I could already feel his gaze burning over me as I stepped up to climb through the window. I somehow managed to snake my way back down the tree without ripping my top.

I chucked on my coat as the wind whipped around my shoulders, colder then a few hours earlier. I waited for Rafe to get down before we made our way to his still extravagantly rich car. I stepped carefully into the car not wanting to leave a single scratch in fear that it would cost me thousands of dollars. 

I fiddled with my card in my pocket working out a plan in my head on how I was going to do this. I gazed out the window, drumming my fingers against my knee with my off hand to seem nervous. I could see him glance at me a curious smile on his face before decided to break the silence.

"So what are you planning to do?" he asked and I sucked in a breath ducking my head. I lifted my head up and scrunched up my nose as if I was thinking of what to say.

"A magician never reveals their secrets" I simply state as Rafe raises an eyebrow now extremely intrigued by what was to come.

"So your magician as well as a academic scholar? Impressive." he said with a smug grin as he winked at me jokingly. I rolled my eyes at him and shoved his shoulder with my hand lightly as he pulled into the parking spot.

"I'm also a pro laser tagger" I whispered quickly and exited the car before throwing my jacket back in at him. I watched as Rafe laughed at my not-a-joke joke as a coat hit him before I turned on my heel to enter the Bottle-O.

My plan was to roam the store seeming lost for a few minutes before finding the vodka. I would then seem to be chatting with the worker but in all honesty I'd just be asking stupid questions to exaggerate the act. I would then proceed to pay for it by showing my ID and the card I grabbed earlier. 

So that is exactly what I did.

Chapter done.

Are you eager to see Rafe's reaction next chapter?

This was sorta a filler but also not really a filler, yeah idk.

What do you all think of the nicname Raferty?
