Oh, those V-Day Memories๐Ÿฉท



 "So was  he more weird than ever?" Harley slammed her locker shut. Maddie almost sputtered in laughter. Really she wondered how Harley knew her boyfriend so well.

"Oh, it was just Valentine's day," Maddie said as she told Harley that Rafe had given her a rose. "We went to hear some live music by the bowling alley."

"Bowling alley?" Harley made it sound like the worst date ever.

"It wasn't in the bowling alley," Maddie clarified. "We went to the burger bar." Of course, Wednesday's Valentine's special was two for one burger night. Really, Rafe knew how to budget. "But..."

"But what?" Harley looked at her blankly in the crowded hallway of the school.

"It was Tyra's new band," Maddie shrugged. "We didn't know. Anyway, Rafe..Rafe thought she was Kimmy and well, yeah, he got a little nervous. I mean, she just wanted to say hello. I think he thought she wanted something else."

"Oh, he would," Harley sighed. "He can be such a narcissist. He thinks we are all in love with him."

Maddie nodded. Possibly, Harley was right. "She didn't ask about KC. She was really nice."

They walked down the hall together then in the middle of the crowd.

"But was he nice?" Harley sounded as if she needed a full report.

"Oh, he was Rafe, you know," Maddie said with an open smile. 

Harley didn't need to know how he wanted something full-on, but usually, at the last minute he'd brace himself and pull away. But it was awful close in the backseat of her uncle's car down by the river. Yes, they still went down there. At least she knew where to park now so they wouldn't get stuck.

It was true, they might be in it for the lust, but deep down she knew they were doing their best to be the best couple they could be. And he was her best friend.

  6. Lust in the backseat.......not going to turn out well. Things like that rarely do. I don't remember Valentines Day being a big then when I was in school; but then I'm old as dirt and went to school back in the dark ages, lol.

  7. Lovely chapter. Holidays can be hard on people who feel lonely.
    V-day is so exception. I imagine a lot of people feel lonely on this day, even people in relationships. I sometimes feel like everyone is expecting too much from one another, both in relationships and friendships.
    It can be hard being there for others when we have things on our mind as well.
    Sometimes being friends is complicated.

  8. Aw. Underneath it all, Rafe has a sweet side. Maybe Maddie's just the girl to appreciate it. ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŽต๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŽต๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŽต

  9. Hello!
    I don't have a boyfriend and Valentine's Day doesn't bother me because I'm alone, but spending it with a friend like that would never be a solution, I find it depressing!
    xoxo
