“What are you doing with my phone?”

Raine heart jerked in fear, he hanged up and quickly hid the phone beside him, turning around instantly.

“No…nothing”

“Ra….”

“I wasn't doing anything”

Raine snapped, his voice filled with fear

“Give me the phone then”

Raine didn't answer neither did he move from where he was, he stayed frozen in fear, his hand gripping the bed sheet tightly.

“Don't let me repeat myself Raine, give me the phone”

Daniel wasn't joking this time, his voice sounded cold.

Raine shakingly brought out the phone from where he hid it and placed it in Daniel's hand.

“I swear Daniel, I didn't mean to”

Daniel opened his phone and saw the call logs.

“You picked my call?”

It was the rule they both made, none were allowed to go through each others phone or picked each others calls for that matter. It would be counted as a breach of contract.

“Dan, it was ringing and you were sleeping, I..I ju…”

“Shut up”

Daniel snapped, he sounded angry.

His eyes already red with fury.

Raine flinched back his body going cold.

Daniel grabbed his jaw, squeezing it tightly.

“What did I tell you about taking my calls…”

“If you try that shit again, I won't hesitate to terminate that stupid contract.”

Raine eyes welled up with tears, his body shaking.

“Daniel please…”

“Don't, I don't need your excuses”

Daniel let go of his jaw and stood up from the bed, he picked up his jacket.

“Don't expect me for the next few days and also remember this, the agreement was sex and nothing else”

“The next time you try to behave like my lover, I will ruin you”

Tears fell from Raine eyes, his body shaking and hicupps getting worse.

Daniel didn't looked back at him when he walked away and slam the door behind him.

……..

Damien anger was out of control.

He parked his car and got out as he arrived at the palace.

He was already angry before he got to Raine's place, waking up and seeing Raine pick his call intensified his anger.

They already talked it through from the start, going through each others phone was a breach of contract.

He wasn't only angry, he was furious but his anger wasn't directed directly at Raine.

His parents had proposed the marriage with Betty again, he had told them times without number that he wasn't interested but they wouldn't listen.

They spread out rumours about him being engaged to Betty without his consent, he confronted them and they used it against him when he stormed out angrily out of the palace and went to Raine's apartment.

He hadn't meant to snapped at Raine that way but he couldn't keep it in.

Raine had broken one of their rules.

…..

The next few days were hell for Raine.

Daniel didn't visit as he had said.

Raine tried calling him, he didn't pick, he texted him but was left on read.

He didn't know what to do, he was heart broken, couldn't even focus at school.

Cole noticed and decided to confront him one afternoon in school.

They were on their way to the cafeteria when Cole blurted out.

“Did Daniel dump you?”

Raine froze and glared at cole, “what do you mean.”

We're not dating.”

“Yeah, you're not dating him but you're in love with him.”

Cole said, sounding serious.

Raine snapped, his voice shaking

“I'm in love with no one”

“Till when will you keep denying it ray”

“I’m not denying anything” Raine looked away, tears falling down his face.

The frustration was getting to him.

Cole signed out and pulled him into his arm.

The sound of agony teared out from Raine's throat, his chest tightened in pain as he cried In the middle of the campus while hugging his best friend.

Ten minutes later, Raine had calmed down, they were sitting on a bench when Raine started to explain what transpired between him and daniel.

“So he hasn't come back nor pick your calls since that day and it almost two weeks now”

“Yes”

Raine whispered

“Leave him alone for the meantime ray”

“You both has been together for three years, even if it's in secret. He's not supposed to treat you that way.”

“I don't know what to do.”

Raine whispered his head low.

“Leave him alone, don't text, don't call.”

“But….”

“No ray, I mean it, let him come back to his senses himself.”

Raine followed his best friend word.

He stopped calling, stopped texting but it was really hard.

The only thing he has been doing was going to school then coming back home to sleep.

Raine was watching TV around 11pm when his doorbell rang.

“Hold on I'm coming.”

“See the time this stupid cole is coming after I already called him like six hours ago”

Raine scoffed biting his lips slightly, something he only does when he was anxious.

He walked towards the door and opened it.

“Cole you are very stupid, this is the 5pm you said you will get here?”

Cole laughed his voice echoing down the hallway

“Whatever, just come in”

“No, no let me just drop your food”

Cole quickly dropped the food and rushed back to the elevator.

“Cole!!!”

Raine shouted but the elevator already closed

“What the hell is wrong with him” Raine muttered bending down to pick up the nylon the food was in.

Raine didn't hear anyone coming until a shoe stopped directly in front of him, he looked up immediately his mouth opened seeing who it was.

“Da….Daniel”

Raine stood up quietly looking away from him”

“Hey baby” Daniel said trying to pull him closer.

Raine jerked his hand free still not looking at Daniel.

“Yes, do you need something?”

“You won't even allow me to come in…”

Daniel said his voice in a whisper.

“You forgot it's your house, you could come in anytime”

Raine smiled his face empty of any other emotion.

He didn't wait for Daniel to speak before he turn back in leaving the door wide open.

Daniel came in closing the door behind him, Raine was already on the couch.

Curled up with the tv on.

Daniel already expected the cold shoulder but it hurt when faced with it directly.

He had missed Raine for the past two weeks he didn't visit.
