Tayla's POV

The next morning...

Laying in bed I feel Rafe's arms wrapped around me, I've never felt so safe in my life. I rubbed his arms softly and he starts to open his eyes slowly. "Good morning" he says with his raspy morning voice that I couldn't help but smile at.

"Morning, you feel better?" I ask him knowing that yesterday was really hard for him. 

My hands go to his cheeks as he smiles at me "Yes but you need to stop worrying about me. You're important too so it's your day today". Laughing at his idea, I sit up from the bed. The blankets fall down to my bare stomach and expose that I am just wearing a bra.

Before I could cover back up, Rafe wraps his arms around my stomach knowing that I was insecure there. "You are so beautiful" he attacks me with kisses all over. I can't help but smile at him. He gets up from the bed, just his boxers on. 

"What do you want for breakfast?" he asks while finding some sweatpants.

"Rafe Cameron can cook?" I was genuinely asking because I had never seen him make anything ever. 

He laughs at me "I know a couple of things". I start to get up out of bed but he stops me.

As I sit on the edge of the bed, he bends over with his hands on either side of me. "You sit here and I'll bring you breakfast in bed". 

"You don't have to do that Rafe" I look at him seriously but he looks at me with the same look "I want to babe". He kisses my forehead and goes to the kitchen.

Narrator POV

After breakfast, Tayla changes into high-waisted jean shorts and a pale yellow top. She could hear Rafe on the phone with someone outside the bedroom. Taking her time doing her makeup, she does her best not to eavesdrop. Right after Rafe gets off the phone, he comes into the bedroom.

Rafe looks at the girl that has his heart and smiles "I don't know how you look more and more attractive every second, it's crazy to me". 

She shakes her head and playfully pushes him "Shut up Cameron". He laughs at the girl's inability to accept a compliment and kisses her softly.

"Kelce wants us to go out on his yacht with him, Topper, and Sarah" Rafe moves nervously not knowing if the girl would be interested. 

"That sounds fun" she smiles, wanting to get out on the water. 

Thinking about their new relationship, Tayla turns her head and looks down "But... we need to be careful".

He lifts her chin up to face him "Don't worry, okay?" looking into her eyes to reassure her. Tayla nods and smiles, trusting her (almost) boyfriend. She wraps her arms around him.

Still not used to this affection, Rafe takes a second to hold her back but once he does he kisses the top of her head. They sway back and forth for a while, just enjoying the closeness between each other.

On Kelce's yacht...

An hour or so later, the couple reaches the end of the dock to see the humongous yacht next to them. "Hey guys!" Kelce walks over to the two as they enter the boat. 

"Hey Kelce" Rafe says as he helps Tayla onto the boat.

As they get further out into the water, the two couples start talking and snacking on food while Kelce is hanging out with the captain his family hired. Sarah looks at her brother, concerned with his living situation "Are you doing okay?". 

Rafe nods "I found somewhere to stay, don't worry" he smiles to reassure her.

Tayla notices a little bit of leftover chocolate under his bottom lip. "You got a little..." she gestures towards the same area on her lip. 

He tries to lick it off but fails "Did I get it?". She shakes her head, laughing as she licks her thumb and rubs it off herself.

Rafe looks into her eyes for a moment before noticing that they had an audience with them. He clears his throat and faces in a different direction. Topper awkwardly laughs at the two "Why don't you just lick his face?". 

"I would but that's not socially acceptable" Tayla jokes.

They all laugh except for Sarah, who was kind of zoned out from the conversation. She didn't really want to be there and Topper was starting to suspect something was wrong. She walks out to the outside part of the boat. Rafe furrows his brow "What's going on with her?". 

Topper sighs and shrugs his shoulders "She hasn't been as close to me lately".

Tayla sighs, knowing that Sarah wasn't feeling a connection with Topper anymore. She felt bad that the boy was starting to notice her friend distancing herself. "If you ever need to talk to me about anything you can" she wanted to make sure Topper didn't feel alone when the time of their definite break up comes.

"Thanks" he nods his head and walks out to find Sarah. When Topper walks out far enough so he can't eavesdrop, Rafe puts his hand on Tayla's thigh. 

"You're not very good at keeping a secret babe" he whispers. 

She laughs "You want me to leave chocolate on your face next time? Because I can" dipping a strawberry in the chocolate and feeding it to Rafe.

After eating the strawberry, he does the same but does it more aggressively, accidentally getting some on his fingers. Tayla laughs at the boy and opens her mouth, guiding his fingers into her mouth and gently closing her lips. Slowly, she pulled his now clean fingers back, looking into his eyes.

Rafe looks at the girl in awe, feeling himself get hard. She smirks, knowing how to get to him. "You're such a tease" he grins, getting up to go to the bathroom. As he gets up, she sees the imprint of his "friend" through his pants.

Tayla's jaw drops a little, as she wasn't expecting... that. Rafe doesn't notice this as he tries to get to the bathroom as quickly as possible. As he leaves, Tayla hears footsteps come toward her, Kelce. "How much did you see?".

"Not a lot, but it's not like I didn't see this coming. Rafe was always looking at you like you were the most valuable thing" Kelce chuckles, thinking back to the past and how Rafe has changed in such little time. 

Tayla blushes, she never thought Rafe had these underlying feelings for so long. "Don't worry, I won't say anything" Kelce walks away to find the other couple.
