Rafe POV:
I needed to clear my head. After everything that recently went down with Molly I had been really confused. I was starting to come to the terms that she was really hung up on TJ. I have no idea why he's such an ass. But even if I think she shouldn't be I need to accept that she is. She's with TJ she's with TJ. All of the sudden I ran into someone on my way to Kelly's.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" I say looking to the person I ran into.
"It's ok it's just as much my fault. I'm new here." I look up and see the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She had long blonde hair that was brown on the underside. She had a soft happy expression across her face. Red lips and piercing hazel eyes staring at me behind her Ray Ban sun glasses. (I picture Charity Vance)
"I know the feeling." I said smiling.
"Well I have to get going. I'm meeting my room mates. I'll see you around." She said straightening her cream knee length pea coat.
"Wait I didn't catch your name." I said lightly grabbing her arm.
"Charity. Charity Vail."
"I'm Rafe. Rafe Kovich."
"Alright I will see you around then Rafe." And with her quilted floral duffle bag on her arm her black wedges clicked down the bricks.
~Sassy~
I couldn't stop thinking about Charity. She was gorgeous. I wish I would've asked for her number asked something more than just her name. Oh well at least I had her name. It was getting late and I was going out to Kelly's to pick up food for Silas and Sam. I walked in to see none other than TJ working behind the bar and Molly sitting on a stool. I rolled my eyes and braced myself. I walked up to the bar to get my order and Molly sure took no time before jumping down my throat.
"What are you doing here?" She asked voice full of spite.
"Getting food what else would I be doing here?" I shot back.
"I don't know maybe trying to break TJ and I up again how many times do I have to tell you I am not interested."
"Just stop Molly I-" I was cut off my a hand placed on my shoulder.
"There you are Rafe! Come on and get the food before the girls jump to conclusions." Said none other than Charity Vail. She looked at me mischievously. I was shocked I had no idea what to say or any idea as to why she was helping me.
"Um who are you?" Molly asked bitterly. Charity stuck her tounge to her cheek like she was annoyed then cocked her head to Molly. Her right arm was around my shoulders and her left hand on my chest.
"I'm Charity Vail. Rafe's girlfriend." Wait what did she just say?
"Girlfriend?!" Molly screetched standing up.
"Yeah is there some kind of problem?" Charity asked moving the hair out of her face.
"Yeah Molly is there some kind of problem?" I asked.
"Well, no, I guess not."
"Ok Rafe here's your food now- WHOA! Who is this?" He asked refering to Charity.
"TJ!" Molly screamed. He was totaly checking out another girl right infront of her. Wait he was checking out "my" girl.
"Yeah man what are you doing? Looking at my girl like that." I snuck my arm around Charity's lower back and she smiled at me.
"I um here's your order Rafe." He said handing me the brown paper bag.
"Come on babe we gotta go." Charity said taking the bag.
"Pleasure meeting you Molly and I would watch that wondering eye." She said nudging in TJ's direction.
"And you," she added turning to TJ. "You better buy her flowers for that." With that she grabbed my hand and we walked outside together.
"Ok why did you just do me the biggest favor anyone has ever done for me?" I asked once we were away from Kelly's.
"I could tell she was a bitch and that you didn't want to deal with her so I thought I would help. She giggled.
"Well thank you." I said sincerly.
"Well sorry to run out on you but I really need to meet my friends back home." She said. Then did I realize we were still holding hands. I knew Silas would kick my ass for being late but I also knew he would kick my ass if I let a pretty girl walk home alone at night.
"Let me walk you."
"Oh no I couldn't ask you to do that. Your food is gonna get cold." She said handing me the bag with a smile.
"Well I didn't ask you to do what you just did for me and it's the least I could do."
"Alright then." She turned and started walking. Still not letting go of my hand.
"You know we're still holding hands?" I asked.
"I sure do." She laughed.
We got to her apartment building and she stopped. I saw 3 young girls carrying in boxes from a white Toyota Venza. One was short and tan with shoulder length brown hair. There was a blonde one who slightly resembled Charity and a redhead.
"Ooh Charity who is that?" The blonde one asked.
"Caylee this is Rafe. My new friend. Rafe this is Caylee," The blonde one. "April," The brunette. "and Rae." The redhead. "They are my room mates."
"And her best friends." April said.
"Yes that they are. Well Rafe this has been fun but I need to go help the girls. Thank you for walking me home. If that Molly girl gives you anymore trouble you just let me know." She said.
"Um do you wanna maybe have lunch with me tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yeah I would like that. A lot."
"Ok then tomorrow at 11. Kelly's?"
"Sounds like a date. I'll see you there." She said she leans up kisses me on the cheek and goes inside with her friends.
