Railyn sits there as they talk. Still holding his hand. He was her boyfriend but the way that he talking to Tracy brought doubt raining all over her parade.

They went to highschool together so it wasn’t odd for them to chat but normally you would talk to an old friend like you haven’t seen them in a while. The way Aiden talked to Tracy seemed like they have been talking to each other a lot recently.

Railyn says nothing. She stands there holding his hand. He doesn’t add her to the conversation and she excuses herself to get a drink. They were standing outside a coffee shop after all.

Aiden raised no opposition to her depart. She doubted he even noticed. Rai bought herself a latte and sat in one of the booths, staring out the window at Tracy.

She prettier than me.

“Excuse me.” A man stands at her table looking to be around 20. (Same age as her) “Do you mind if I sit here?”

Railyn glances to Aiden. “Go ahead!”

He sits down and she swore he was practically glowing in the dim lighting of the café.

He’s fiiiiine

“Hi.” He smiles brightly. “I’m Carter. What’s your name?”

“Railyn.” She smiles, her attitude brightening along with Carters smile.

They got talking about books because Carter noticed that Railyn had a book pin on her bag. After chatting a while Railyn mustered the courage to ask for his number.

I can’t believe I’m doing this. I have a boyfriend!

She glances to Aiden and Tracy and they’ve sat down and have their hands suspiciously close together.

“Can I get your number?”

Carter looks over at Tracy and Aiden as well, scrunching his nose.

“Do you know Tracy?” Rai ask because Shes stupid.

“Shes my girlfriend.” He winces because he’s even stupider.

“Oh sorry I didn’t mean to come off too strong.” She panics waving her hands in dismissal.

He tilts his head, looking at her. “Arent you Aiden’s girlfriend though?” Carter smirks.

“Uhm. Yeah.” She replys, embarrassed that she asked for for a taken mans number while she herself is also taken.

He smirks again. Looking even more devious this time. He slides a paper across the table with a phone number scribbled on it.

“Text me.” He rests his head on his wrists.

Railyn laughs. “I will.”

A few months later Railyn sits there on the couch smiling at her phone while texting Carter. Aiden and Tracy have both disappeared and theyre most likely together.

Neither Carter nor Railyn confront either of them about this. Simply observing and taking note.

Rai gets a new text from Carter.

“Can I come over?”

“Sure. Aiden said he wouldn’t be home till like 11.”

“Omw.”

15 mins later Carter is sitting on Railyns couch. An akward distance between the two.

They decide to watch a movie but halfway through it Carter pauses it and Railyn finds that over the first half of the movie they had moved closer so that their legs were touching.

“Why’d you pause it?” Railyn looks to Carter who is staring at her.

He pushes her over on the couch, pinning her to the cusions. He presses his lips against hers. Railyn panics and she doesn’t kiss him back at first. He continues kissing her regardless and when her few brain cells connect she kisses him back.

Rai pulls away, pushing him off of her.

“Why- why did you kiss me?!”

“Why did you like it?” He smirks.

“We’re both dating someone else!”

“We can change that.” He counters, sitting in the floor by the couch where she pushed him off.

“But we just cheated…”

Concern grows on Carters face. “And where do you think Tracy and Aiden are?” He pulls up a photo of Aiden sitting on a couch at some party, Tracy snuggled up on his lap. Her lipstick is smeared across his collar and lips.

Railyn freezes. “When was that?”

“10 minutes ago.” He sighs.

She bites her lip. “Should we confront them?”

He shrugs. “Nah. They’ve got their secrets and we’ve got ours.”

Railyn sits on Carters lap, straddling him. She cups his face in her hands. “You’re a way better kisser than my boyfriend anyway.”

She presses her lips against his again feeling actual emotion rather than the empty feeling she experienced with Aiden.

Carter was a MUCH better kisser than her boyfriend.

Notes:

Okay that was special. 1) I’m just a girl it’s not my fault they were both cheating. 2) It’s like 1 in the morning. Leave me alone 3) I’m not sure how I feel about the fan fiction format.
