Raelynn's pov:

This morning when I woke up I was feeling less sore than yesterday. After our little session on the bed, we both went to take a shower and got ready for the day. I was home so I got dressed in my sweatpants and tank top while Kyson had some spare clothes in his car so he got ready in his usual style outfit.

Since we skipped breakfast, we had lunch together at home. Around 1 p.m he got a phone call from the mansion and he had to leave. However before going, he made sure that I was feeling better and comfortable. He kissed me goodbye on my forehead before telling me that he would keep texting me throughout the day.

He did.

Even this morning, I woke up with a good morning text which felt weird since I never got one before. He was making me feel alive and the butterflies in my stomach agree with me.

I like him.

I also got the morning pills so hopefully, there won't be any baby in nine months.

I parked my car down the street before stepping out.

(Raelynn's outfit⬆️)

I was making my way to Cassandra's antique shop. There wasn't much work at the mansion so I decided to spend the day with Cassandra. I did tell her beforehand that I would be coming to her shop in case she has other plans for the day.

I opened the door and my eyes landed on her. She was in front of the counter reading one of her all books.

"Hey," I greeted her.

"Well hello there," she greeted me back as she close the book, dropping it on the counter.

"Please don't tell me that we are going on a spirit adventure," I said cautiously.

She chuckled, "We are not."

I sigh in relief.

We both walked behind the counter and sat on the chairs.

"I dream about a weird water sign so I was hoping to get some information on that." She explained.

"Do you want me to help you find it?" I inquired.

"No, I think I'm just overthinking this." She said before sighing.

"Let me remind you that every time you 'overthink' there is part of it which becomes true," I spoke.

She shifts her eyes back to the book.

"Fine, I'll look for it later," she said and I nodded.

"Anyway," she started as she turn to me, "Where did you disappear the other night."

I knew she was referring to the charity event night.

"I went home," I replied briefly.

"Why?" She questioned.

"Why not? It was getting boring... so did anything happen between you and Val?" I asked her curiously.

Her lips curled in a smile before a light tint of pink started to show on her cheeks.

I gasped, "Something definitely happened."

"We talked... and kissed." She confessed.

"Oh my god!"

"I know, I froze on my spot when he kissed me. But I did kiss him back." She smiled.

I chuckled.

"Nice to know you didn't leave him hanging." I taunted.

"I couldn't. He was so delicate and his lips were-"

"Okay, too much information." I stopped her making her laugh.

"But you know, when we were leaving to go home, Erica was looking around for Kyson who I may add was missing too." She said giving me a calculating look.

Oh.

"So you think he was with me?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yeah..."

"Well, you aren't wrong."

"Ha! I knew it." She screamed in victory.

I rolled my eyes.

"So did you two talk? Did you ask him about Erica?" She asked cautiously.

"Actually we did more than talking," I murmured but of course she heard it. I watched as her facial expression changed from curious to shock real quick.

"Daaammmnnnn," she smirked.

I remained quiet, a small smile displayed on my face.

"So I'm guessing you had a lot of fun considering it's been 5 years girl." She chuckled.

"I'm still sore," I said.

She laughed.

"Hmm, that's what happens when you play after a lonnnngggg time." She taunted dragging the word, 'long'.

I was about to talk when my phone started to ring. I pull it from my pocket and looked at the Id.

Speaking of him...

"Hey," his voice was firm.

"Hi," I greeted him.

"Am I disturbing you?" He asked cautiously.

"Hmm no, I'm not at the mansion right now," I replied.

"Does that mean I can invite you for a coffee date?"

I smiled.

"Coffee date?" I repeated.

"Yeah, we can meet up where it all started..." He suggested.

"Hmm, the same place where you sent your friends to kidnap me." I elaborated.

I heard him chuckle.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Sure, see you." I smiled.

"Is in ten minutes alright?" He inquired.

"Yeah, I'm close to the coffee shop."

"Great see you."

"See you."

We both hung up.

"Coffee date huh?" Cassandra smirked at me.

I stick my tongue out at her.

I parked my car before stepping out and making my way inside. My eyes instantly landed on him sitting alone by one of the window tables, looking at his phone. He was wearing a white shirt and matt green pants.

I made my way to him.

As I approached, he looked up and smiled at me. I sat in front of him.

"Hey," I greeted him.

"Hey,"

"So what's up?" I asked him.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to see you." He said making all the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.

I smiled.

"So how are you feeling now?" He inquired.

"Better than yesterday," I replied.

"Hmm, nice to hear."

"Hey Rae,"

We turned to our side and saw Seth with his noting pad.

"Hi," I greeted him.

"You all took turns huh?" He gave me a mischievous smile before looking at his note pad, ready to write.

"Took turns?" I asked confusedly.

He looked up.

"Yeah, like the other day it was Ryker with a new girl and then Cassandra with that boy and today it's you." He explained.

Oh.

"What can I get you?"

We both told him our orders before he walked away.

"Valentino was with Cassandra," Kyson spoke making me look at him.

"Yeah and I think I have an idea who was with Ryker," I told him.

"Who?"

Should I tell him?

"Ok if I tell you, you can't tell anyone," I stated.

He raised an eyebrow, "Who would I talk to?"

I rolled my eyes, "Oh please, I know man gossip too."

"Who is it?" He repeated.

"Natalie."

I watched his face but there was no change of emotion. He only gave me a nod, "I kinda understood from when I saw them at the party together."
