monday was a huge success, mark thinks of rafe as a brother-in-law. rafe was instructed he could dress casually, not country club casual with the khakis but jeans and a simple tee. wilma & mark praised him for the way he has treated me. alluding to my jj relationship with little innuendos. "i-i actually got ran into" rafe said smiling at me before taking a sip of his drink.

"yes, i skateboarded into the coffee shop hitting him. he was at the back of the line" i chime in.

wilma laughs as she tries to get up to go to into the kitchen to grab something. mark smiled, he said "your father is very popular in this town rafe how's that on you and your sisters"

"it's just a name yet i can admit it gets to our head sometimes"

"i heard a rumor he is working to find the royal merchant" my brother said with pure curiosity.

"wouldn't know, he rarely brings me into some of his business ventures even though that is the field i want to go into"

"do you know what type of business?"

"not yet but i think i'll figure it out"

"you know sloan wants to go to school in new york" wilma says as she waddles back into our dining room.

"i'd definitely apply there" rafe said smiling at me. my eyes bulge as i finally take in what he said "you'd really apply to new york schools for me"

looking my way rafe says taking my hand "i would" he kisses my cheek softly.

we eat, drink, continue to chat. they get to know rafe really well, before letting him leave we head up to my room.

"was dinner great or what?"

"it was great i think you brother likes meeee" he smiles as he gives me his dark hooded blue eyes which only means one thing.

leaning forward his eyes go from my eyes to my lips, he kisses me stopping me from responding. getting to the hot & heavy, "do you wanna have a quickie?" i whisper smiling at him.

"mmm i'd like that" rafe as he continued, "great thing you are wearing this dress huh"

i nod before his lips find its way to my neck, we maneuver so that i can reverse cow girl. by the time our high is over i'm just about ready to scream but i bite my lip to suppress it.

kissing him a few more times before we fix ourselves to head downstairs, "we have to do that again" rafe whispers in my ear as he fixes my hair. i roll my eyes at the fact that he always says that.

by the front door i laugh at him because he was making a face. "bye, babe" i say smiling.

"bye, sly i'll text you once i reach home" he salutes me off with a wink. doing that lip licking thing i love. before going to his car driving off once i close my door.

max is smiling at me "how are things with rafe?"

"they're pretty great right now rafe meet my brother officially earlier this evening, dinner was excellent. how are you, kelce?" i wiggle my eyebrows getting a giggle out of her.

"match made in heaven baby! we are really doing good. have you seen kie and kai?"

"no i haven't"

max said "check ig" i give her a look she affirms my look by explaining what's going on "look," handing me her phone a beautiful picture of them both in a cute streetwear couple pose "they have been on more dates then our relationships combined. both of their instagrams with cute photos, kai told me last night that he needs to talk to us about something. speak of the devil" max's eyeline travels to her balcony.

kai knocks on max's balcony door, we've always snuck in through the balcony door especially since max's mom always hounds us for at least an hour downstairs.

"kie blew me off on saturday because of a date with this fool" i mess up kai's hair. he smiles "you both have to promise to not tell her anything" he holds out his pinky so we both pinky promise.

"i want to tell kie that i love her" kai says with amusement in his eyes.

max and i share a ready to freak out look. "wait, wait, wait you want to tell her you love her" max said i think needing to hear the words echo in her room again.

"yes i do"

"rafe and i say i love you now... so do you want pointers or do you have a plan of action. like fake proposal/promise to love her"

"maybe a promise ring thing" kai scratches the back of his neck. which is how we know he needs our help.

"kelce gave me this to tell me he loved me" she holds her necklace out to show us.

"it's beautiful" i said admiring it.

"i like it" kai said his features softly showing his appreciation of kelce's gift to max.

"you should give her, her birthstone on a locket or ring. if you get the locket put your cutest photos in it. if you get a ring she'd never take it off she wears a bunch" max chimed.

"i love the locket idea though it's sentimental those sized photos would be so cool to look at" i said smiling at a photo of them together.

rafe is texting me since he needs me to fall asleep. mostly because we have this ritual of reciting poems about one another. texting back as consistently as i can since i am sleeping over at max's house. kai decided on the locket, he needed us to keep her occupied for two days out of the week so he can prepare the surprise.

we watch the movie "𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐬" with kai before he has to leave us. "thank you guys, love you!
see you mañana"

"see you tomorrow" we say in unison.

once kai leaves max turns to me "the sex"

"glorious, literally mind numbing" i sigh as i think back to earlier tonight.

i can feel my cheeks heat up in the darkness of the room as the tv flicks back to the netflix home screen. "what about you and kelce... the sex?"

"dangerous like a shot of drugs. i keep wanting more" max's voice gets all breathy.

we share a look and start giggling. before going to sleep we watch this korean drama called "𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡" the first episode at least.

"you have to help me pick out what i am wearing tomorrow" max blurted our after our goodnights & i love you's.

"color theme?" i retort as i shut my eyes.

"great question mm.. soft girl so pastels & neons"

"got it"

once i uttered those two words the sleep took over.

𓆙

rihanna's vocals are lightly playing in the background as we start on our makeup, max swears by the gods that when we do our makeup a certain way the boys come like we enchanted them.

max says "use this liner, matcha green it'll bring out
your eyes"

"it is" i spew out on the first try of the liner on my lid. it's 6:30 am we start at 7:30. max is practically finished with her makeup, i have one final touch to add. "you still need an outfit choice right?"

"yes boo" max purred as she smiles at me through the mirror. i head into her closet and pick out three fits that fit soft girl. one is centered around pastel blue, one neon pink, the other a cottage core look.

"which one?" i question her with each outfit placed on the bed.

"i really love the blue.. but i love the cottage one too, mmm i think i'll go with the blue"

i give her one of my outfits to see if this what i should wear, max takes the liberty of going through my over night bag then piecing an outfit together. similar to hers but more e-girl. olive green pants that hug my legs with a cute black shirt that exposes many different parts of my upper body. final piece of the fit my shoes.

cute mary jeans but dr.martens, we have breakfast with her mom, her dad & older sister then head to school. max knows how to skateboard just like me but always tends to use her trusty ole bike to get to school. i borrow her sisters bicycle for the day.

"okay so this is a debate: sour straws or twizzlers" i ask as we are biking down this long path.

"ouuu but you already know my answer"

"sour straws" we say in unison laughing, max says "lollipops or hi chew"

"lollipops" i blurt out as my phone pings. stopping i check it, an evite to a party at the boneyard tonight. it's almost the start of summer so some 'toros'/'touros'
have already started pouring in.

"there's a party tonight"

"the boneyard?" max asked.

i nodded as we arrived, max is beaming as kelce makes his way towards us "morning ladies, how was your night?"

"great!" max stated as she looked at him dreamily, hoping for that long awaited kiss that's probably been on her mind all morning.

as my thoughts take me to that idea, i am dipped down by someone lips land on mine, his smile against my lips making me flush. "morning slick" i smile at rafe as i fix his hair.

"morning sly, did you sleep well?"

"touch and go because i missed you by my side" i wink at him.

"sly i craved you next to me" he whispered in my ear. i am pulled back from our little bubble by kelce telling rafe that we must go to the boneyard party tonight.

all in agreement we head to our first periods, i don't see kie until second so i text max if she sees her to tell her we are talking her to the party tonight with sarah of course, it'll be a girls night. me, max, kie, sarah.

in second period kie is giving me full details about how her and kai got together.

"he kinda asked to kiss me well doing homework. kai was scratching the back of his neck all nervous, i was in a bold mood so i just kissed him"

"is he a good kisser? i've always wondered" my facial expression one of curiosity in its purest form.

"i'll just tell ya —" she gets closer to me whispering "he's a casanova on the low"

i cover my mouth to stop the huge laugh ready to come out, disrupting the quiet. i said as i calm down "the photos you guys post are so cute. how'd you guys get into that? do you think me and rafe could reach your level"

kie smiles at me as she says "it was with little effort at all since we both love the craft. we pose well together, even not in that environment. you & rafe have something we don't yet which is tension that can be felt even in a photo. look at this one of you both" i am seeing the photo from the party at topper's house someone snapped from our pool scenario. it's on rafe's page, we where about to kiss.

"the tension alone can break you in two, we are slowly getting their i'm incredibly comfortable with kai though so it'll happen"

i nod and thank kie for the secret i didn't know that we have a palpable tension if not heat to us when we take photos & generally.
