Quinn

The vibes of today are Saturn by SZA but if you know me, that will come later. Right now I'm in a Big Sean kinda mood. Since Rafe isn't home right now, I take this as my opportunity to blast my IDGAF song as loud as I can while cleaning the house.

"Bitch I got no feelings to go I swear I had it up to here, I for no celings to go. I mean for real, fuck how you feel. Fuck your two cents if it aint goin'towards the bill, yeah." I screamed while vacuuming and accidentally almost ran over Theo.

"Sorry Theo!" I yell, not aware of how loud I am with my headphones on. I finish my vacuuming and go to the dresser where I have the only picture I have left of Genevieve and Zach. I really do miss them everyday.

Don't get me wrong, I love it with Rafe (besides what happened yesterday) but just talking to him gets so lonely. I can't have my girlie talk without him thinking I'm weird. Genevieve would get me and my weird talk, but enough in the past.

If she doesn't want to talk I guess that isn't my problem. I don't have time to dwell on my new found sadness with my music still in my ears and when I see Rafe approaching through the mirror.

I remove my headphones and smile at him as he leans in to kiss me. "Get dressed," he umbles between kisses. "Where are we going?" I break away from him and all I get is you will see. Ugh this man.

Fine ass man though. Plus he's my man so win win for me.

Running to the closet, I pick out some jorts, which are Rafe's but he doesn't wear them anyways so I stole them. I pair it with a random white shirt with some cars printed on it. I put my socks and shoes on and decode to grab my digital camera so I can remember wherever we are going.

It just feels like a digital camera type of day anyways you know? It should not be hard to find a six foot man in your own home but it is. Whenever I need Rafe the most, he just vanishes.

"Rafe!" I yell out, hoping my voice echoes around the house so he can hear me. As I go to yell again, Rafe jumps out of a corner and yells boo, scaring me to death.

"Holy shitballs. You gave me a mini heart attack." I slap him in the chest and he just laughs as I get picked up and spun all around the room.

Once I get put down, I see a big smile on his face. "What's got you in such a good mood today?" I ask, running my fingers through his short hair. "Oh nothing. Just really love today." I roll my eyes as he gets the keys and we make our way to the car.

"Can you tell me where we are going?" It's killing me, not knowing. I hate surprises. Well that's a lie, I like them when I accidentally find out about them so I can mentally and physically prepare for what will happen.

"All I can say is you might like it."

Rollar skating.

He is taking me roller skating. I LOVE IT!

I've never been so this is so exciting for me. Out of all my possible guesses, this was not one of them. Mostly because I didn't know we had one in OBX.

"Ohmygoodness I'm so flipping excited. Have you ever been? Oh I wonder if they have an arcade or something that would be so fun. Oh what about- Quinn?" I realized I was sort of rambling after he said my name.

"Sorry," I mutter and just see Rafe shake his head. "Don't be sorry. Ramble all you want, but we have to be in by eleven or we won't get a slot." Glancing at the dashboard I see we have two minutes.

"Why would you let me talk then let's go!" I basically jumped out of the car and ran towards the arena so excited to finally go roller skating.

"Hi, welcome to Amazing Skates. My name is Greg. Do you have a reservation?" I look at Rafe because why in the world do you need a reservation for roller skating?

"It should be under the name Rafe Cameron." I see Greg looking through the list and when she doesn't see our name I know we have an issue. "Here let me see if you just missed it by accident."

I go around and help Greg look for our name but even I don't see it. "Rafe, are you sure you signed up for today and not another day or time?" I see the aggravation on his face right now, but I'm hoping he doesn't do anything.

"Can you wait outside for a second baby? I just need to talk to Greg." He said poor Greg's name like it was poison. I feel bad leaving her, but I know to go outside and wait so that's what I do.

Around five minutes later, I see him come back out with what appears to be bloody knuckles but I don't say anything about it. "Turns out there was a second page and he just didn't know," Rafe grabs my hand and we make our way back inside.

"Then why are your knuckles so bloody and his face looks like it's seen better days?" Shit I didn't mean for that to slip. Rafe stops walking and I almost bump into him before he tightens his grip on my hand making it throb.

"Don't question what I do when you aren't around alright?" I just nod my head and he loosens the grip (not by much) from my hand and guides me to get my skates.

"I have to pee, I'll be right back" I tell Rafe as I get out of the booth we are at and find my way to the restroom.

Roller skating was super fun. Rafe got a video of me falling on my ass a lot but it's fine. I still had a lot of fun. The only downside was someone kept blowing u[ my phone which is so weird. My phone sees tumbleweeds more than a notification.

So the truth is I don't actually have to pee, I just don't know when the next time I will get privacy is so I thought why not check now.

Finally finding the bathroom, I find a stall and lock myself in it. I unlock my phone and see a bunch of texts and misscalls from the same number. Who in the world is this? I first go to the texts because maybe that will give me some sort of indication of who it is.

11:05 am XXX-XXX-XXXX Quinn it's Genevieve. Please answer. Rafe made me get a new number so I wasn't able to talk to you as well as Zach.

11:10 am XXX-XXX-XXXX Hello??? Where are you!!!! Call me!

Missed call from XXX-XXX-XXXX

Missed call from XXX-XXX-XXXX

11:20 am XXX-XXX-XXXX Holy shit I didn't even think that Rafe might have your phone. Sorry. Please if you see this text me I have to tell you something.

After reading a bunch more texts and seeing all the missed calls, I decided to give her a text.

Me: Hey Gen. I'm okay I promise. I'm in the bathroom right now. Rafe took me roller skating. I will text you as soon as I can!

After that, I get off the toilet and wash my hands and go back to the table. "Sorry I had to poop. This pizza isn't going down smothly."

As we finish out the food, I can't help but wonder what in the world Genevieve is talking about with Rafe.
