"It was kind of awful," Rafe shrugged it off as he moved more boxes in the backroom of the bakery. He wasn't alone. Boone helped just as much to get the supplies put away. After all, it was the Halloween season and people did want black cat cookies, after all. There was even a Halloween wedding to get ready for.
Boone nodded about Rafe's fiasco with Maddie.
"But, we're talking, you know, and well..." he smiled all over. She'd let him kiss her, but it wasn't on that night. After all, he had to clean that car up of her uncle. "I don't know how I got away with that, you know?"
"Yeah, well, I guess you won't let anything like that happen, ever again," Boone wrinkled a smile.
"Hell, no." Rafe shook his head. "So how are things with you and Lil?"
"Well," Boone winced, he'd hate to ruin Rafe's day. "How do you think things are with Lily and me?"
"Oh, she's owns you man, I can sense it." Rafe kept smiling.
Boone felt a tickle in his throat. He wasn't sure if he was about to laugh or cough. Rafe caught him off guard. He nodded.
"You're OK with that?" Boone wanted to know.
"Yeah," Rafe nodded. "You've been like my best friend, other than my brother. I can't hate you for being with ..with Lily." He said then he couldn't call her his ex. He just couldn't. "Kimmy is my ex. Lily..well, she was just trouble, and..and it was my own damn fault. I know that."
"But not Maddie," Boone shook his head as if he might be teasing him.
"Not Maddie. I think we got it all cleared up, you know. I mean, it's not like we really had a fight. It was just we needed to say some things to each other. You know, kind of like make it a clean slate. I just want to be the best boyfriend she ever had."
"Maybe she wants to be the best girlfriend, you ever had," Boone shrugged.
"Yeah, I think so." Rafe nodded and went back to work. There were still a lot of boxes to move.
Sounds interesting. Sometimes it is the hard experiences that teach us a lot.

ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteEveryday we learned something more about life.
ReplyDeleteSo Rafe and Maddie are doing okay after the infamous car thing. I hope things go well and they work well together. And I'm looking forward to boone and Lily too. For some reason I like those twotogether. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the Babys! One of my favorite songs. And hope the library is well this weekend. I appreciate the notes too about the shows. I will both of them out! Those are good recs- I want to continue PW but also try others.
I love 5 Guys but don't get it very often. I used to think their burgers were so expensive but now everywhere I go a burger is $10 or MORE. Pushing $14 some places!
Genial fragmento. Ellos van madurando. Te mando un beso.

ReplyDeleteIt's good when people talk and say the things that are in their minds
ReplyDeleteThanks for other amazing chapter
Have a nice week!
Kisses ♥
I like the yellow top with the print 'just breathe'. I also like the sentence: "He wasn't sure if he was about to laugh or cough". Laugh and Cough even rhyme:)
ReplyDeleteHello, I hope you have a great Sunday! I think I'm a bit lost in the plot of the story! My English is improving but I still have my difficulties reading!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best!

ReplyDeleteAw, it sounds like Rafe is really trying! There you go again, making me root for someone I so recently thought didn't deserve it. But if he does right by Maddie, then that will make their relationship all the sweeter. It's also nice that there's no ill will between Rafe and Boone regarding Lily. 🥐💖🍪💖
ReplyDeleteI really do hope that you have a happy trip to Texas. I've been known to focus on the negative, too, so I know what you mean about worrying. It isn't easy, but realizing that I can't control everything and that worrying doesn't help is usually very calming. In other words, just breathe -- like the shirt in your collage says! 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
