—then leave the boyfriend you have, tell him that you don't love him, that you prefer me—

You and Rafe had broken up months ago. However, neither of you could completely get away from each other.

They both saw each other secretly from time to time, always doing the same thing; casual sex and goodbye. Also, each one had their new partner —Rafe with Sofia and you with JJ— so their casual encounters were only between the two of you; after all, you were still ex-boyfriends.

Loud music was blasting all over the beach filled with pogues and kooks, enjoying the party; everyone completely stoned or drunk, there was no way anyone could have smiled there. While you were hanging out with the pogues and JJ, in the distance you could feel Rafe's piercing eyes fixed on you. You tried not to pay attention to him, turning your gaze to JJ, who was leaving a soft kiss while hugging your waist with his free arm.

You smiled at the blonde and he hugged you, which you reciprocated without any problem. However, you couldn't help but look over his shoulder at the couple in the distance; Rafe hugging Sofia around the waist, letting his hand wander calmly over her hip and the curve of her butt —managing to give you chills—, You couldn't help but think; He touched me like that too. However, you kept your cool and managed not to go crazy when you noticed how Rafe, even when touching his girlfriend, still couldn't take his eyes off you.

Even though they were both with their respective partners, they couldn't let go, and they had no choice but to look at each other from afar; knowing perfectly well that they wouldn't forget each other so easily.

The night continued quietly, and as soon as JJ disappeared with the pogues, leaving you alone, you took the opportunity to sit down and rest on a log facing the sea. Rafe was still a few meters away from you, completely oblivious to you, but now alone since Sofia had left the party. However, he didn't.
