Dang it, I hope he didn't understand what's going on. I'm wondering if he realised that my mom is not around. I don't even wanna talk about it; Especially with Rafe.
I get a huge relief when I leave the house as breathe in fresh air. It feels so good. The windows of my room are locked and I don't even know where the keys are so all I can do is turn on the ac.
We leave from the back door which as Rafe stated was open. Who knows, maybe he broke it. We get in the car and honestly all I could think about is my dad. He's gonna get so mad when he sees that I'm not home. I hope he comes home late so I can have time to go back to my room as if this all has never happened.
"So where are we going exactly? I ask him with a curious voice.
"You said you were hungry so I'm taking you to the Kook area. Compared to Pogues, we've actually got a bunch of nice cafes in there." he smiles
"Rafe please just shut up and drive." He smirks.
It gets pretty hot in here so I open the window of the car and pull my head out. The fresh air hits all over my face and my hair is blowing in the air. I smile and with music playing, I actually feel like the main character for a second. I slightly turn my head to see Rafe staring at me with a big smile. I feel very awkward. When he sees that I saw him staring, he quickly turns his head away and gets a serious face like it wasn't him who was just watching me. I feel like I'm blushing. I hope he doesn't notice it. I get my head back in the car and slightly press the button and slide the window up a bit.
"I'm thirsty, do you have water in here?"
"Yeah just open the glove compartment in front of you."
My heart drops.
"Holy shit Rafe" I say in a loud and a panicked voice as I open the glove compartment. His face turns bold when he looks at it. It's like he forgot it was there.
"Why the fuck do you keep a gun in your car? Why do you even have it? Are you planning on killing me?" I say in a panicked way while having the urge to get out of the car. Things add up now. Why would Rafe want to hangout with me in the first place. He wants me dead. But WHY?! As I think about it I suddenly feel like I can't breathe. I think I'm having an anxiety attack. I start breathing fast and rapidly while I feel like I'm about to choke.
"You're a fucking murderer Rafe." I scream out.
"Damn it Cassie! Shut up!" he shouts at me with the angriest voice as he puts his massive hand on my mouth. I feel a tear drop down my cheek then flow down on Rafe's hand. At this point I'm shaking. He pulls over his car and turns his head towards me while giving me a deadly look. I try to open the door of the car but he locks them right before I do.
"Cassie I need you to calm down, yeah?" he says in a trembling voice as he slowly takes his hand off my mouth. Without making a single move I look at him in the eyes and let him speak.
"Look I'm messed up and I'm sorry if I scared you. Sometimes I just lose control over myself." he looks down as if he's embarrassed to look me in the eyes.
"Whats important is that I would never do anything to hurt you, you know that right?" he says as he slowly raises his head and moves the hair away from my face.
"You would be the last person that I'd kill." he says as he holds my face with his warm hands. Suddenly I feel safe again and relax my face on his hands. Was this his way of saying that he likes me? Is that even possible, like does Cameron have a heart after all? Nah I'm probably being overdramatic. He would say this to anyone...and I'm most definitely not special.
"Look I'm sorry if my reaction was too much I'm just-" I say as I suddenly hold back while almost spilling the words from my mouth.
"You're just what Cassie?" he looks at me in a serious way as he takes his hands off my face.
"It's nothing I'm fine, let's get going." I say as I turn my head and look through the window.
Rafe turns his head forward to start his car. None of us say a single word. Silence has taken up the whole car by now.
We have finally arrived to some Kook cafe and at this point my stomach is swelling up from hunger. The place looks fancy, its probably really expensive. Of course it is, after all its a Kooook's place, I say to myself in my head as I mock the way Rafe said "Kooks" back in the car.
"A place for two please." He calls the waiter with a hand motion and asks him to arrange us a table.
"Wow Cameron knows the word please, how impressive." I tease him.
"Well maybe you don't know me that well after all." he smirks and hits back at me. Dang it, why did I just get butterflies all over my stomach. This isn't going to end well for you Cassie, I say in my head while going towards our table.
I order a lot of food, and at the moment I don't give a single shit about what Rafe is going to think about it.
"I'll have the same." he says while smiling at me. This smile never fails to light me up.
"I guess you're as hungry as me" I say teasingly while looking at him with a smile on my face.
"Bet. I'm much more famished than you. You see, the taller the person is, the more and faster they eat." he teases me because of our height difference.
"Oh please that's so not true Rafe, and you know that." I chuckle while looking aside.
"Okay then Ms.Stubborn," he calls me. "Let's see who can eat the fastest then." he smirks at me like he knows he's going to win.
"Let the hungriest win." I smile as I look him right in the eye while I'm fully confident of wining.
As the food comes we both attack it and oh my god, my tummy feels so happy right now. I am finally having a meal.
We both rush as we eat our food. It's so delicious. I haven't had such a nice meal in so long. My dad usually heats up some sixty second made spicy ramen and that usually always makes our dinner. I'm surprised that I'm still holding up after having a diet that practically consists of only noodles. Anyways,
"The people around will probably think we're animals who just got out of their cage." I laugh as I bite the bread in my hand.
"Who cares, screw them all," Rafe says with a fully filled up mouth. It makes me laugh, he looks so damn adorable.
"Come on don't get distracted, or I'll win." he smirks. I roll my eyes while smiling.
After eating all of our food we only have two French fries left on our table. One is his, and the other one is mine. Wow, how is this that we ate at absolutely the same speed. As a lean to take the fry, I see him taking the same one. He looks at me. I look back. I let my hand off the fry, while slightly blushing and quickly take the other fry to win. He puts the fry on his mouth then all of a sudden he starts coughing really bad.
"Damn it, it's stuck in my throat!" he says in a cracking voice while coughing really hard.
"Rafe are you okay?" I panic and I put my fry back on the plate as I stand up to go hit his back.
Suddenly I hear a gulp and turn my face to see him smiling at me like he wasn't chocking I second ago.
"I won." he says confidently as he opens his mouth and put his tongue out.
"Dang it Cameron, I thought you were actually chocking."
"Aww your little heart couldn't handle seeing me in pain?" he says in a sarcastic yet warm voice while looking at me with his puppy dog eyes.
"That's not fair, you tricked me Rafe.
"I guess better luck next time." he smirks
"I swear I'd slap you so hard right now." I say in an annoyed way with a smile on my face, while slightly chuckling.
"Have at it." he smirks.
