A couple of months have passed since Rachel and Sebastian made love and started to spend more time with one another.

Rachel had to admit, she loved this side of Sebastian. She didn't expect for him to be so free spirited or honest.  At least with her. She was also surprised how he began spending less time around his friends. Especially Hunter and Thad.

Thad..... what was she going to do about him? She knew she was possibly falling for Sebastian, but why was Thad still in her heart as well? Was it possible to love two people at once?

Rachel was lost in thought and looked down at her phone. It was a message and picture from Sebastian.

Hi babe,
Hope you have a great day. Hopefully I'll get to see your beautiful self later. I can't wait to wrap my arms around you, holding on tight.

Miss you already beautiful.

💖Seb

Rachel smiled. As she re-read the message, she wasn't paying attention in the store as she was shopping for groceries.

"Ooops! I'm so sorry..... Thad?" Rachel asked.

Thad stood with his cart in hand, and furrowed his brows.

Of all people to run into. The very person who broke his heart in two. The woman who betrayed him yet he still loves...Rachel.

"Well well if it isn't the backstabbing whore!" Thad said, then instantly regretted it. Although, he didn't want her to know how much he wished he could pull her into his arms. But, she was spending a lot of time with Sebastian these days.

Rachel felt like someone had slapped her. She deserved that or did she? She wasn't married to Thad. They were on the off button when she began dating Sebastian.

"Excuse me??" She asked, blinking back her tears.

"Did I flinch? Where is your boy toy Sebastian?" Thad continued.

Rachel shook her head. "Still haven't changed and want to blame everyone for our downfall. We don't owe you an explanation, Thad. " she said.

Rachel tried to push her cart to get away from Thad and conflict. As she was passing him, he grabbed her arm.

"Hey! How dare you?!" Rachel yelled.

"How dare me? How dare me Rachel?! I gave you everything YET you turn around and whore yourself out to my best friend.  So again how dare me?" Thad hissed.

Rachel knew he was upset, but he was beginning to frighten her. She understood he felt betrayed, but Sebastian stepped up when Thad hadn't.  Sebastian has been in love with her for a long time. Her heart is torn, but shouldn't she try to give her and Seb a chance?

"I don't owe you anything, Thaddeus Harwood. How dare you talk about me or your best friend that way. We are not together and my heart is free to fall in love with whomever I choose." Rachel said, not realizing what she just confessed.

Thad released her arm. Suddenly felt like someone shot him in the heart, repeatedly.

"You LOVE him??" He finally asked.

Rachel froze. Wow did she say she loves Sebastian? Was it love?

Before Rachel could say anything, Thad grabbed her hand, leaving her cart nearby and led her down to an abandoned aisle of the store. He pinned her against the shelf.

"Thad what the hell are you doing?!" She asked. Her heart beating fast.

Thad said, "Shhhhh. Just listen. Please." Thad pleaded.

Rachel felt her phone vibrating.

Thad kissed her forehead.

Rachel pushed him off. But Thad was stronger.

[Thad:]
This is perfect
Come kiss me one more time
I couldn't dream this up
Even if I tried
You and me in this moment
Feels like magic, don't it?
I'm right where I wanna be

Everybody's talking about heaven like they just can't wait to go
Saying how it's gonna be so good, so beautiful
Lying next to you, in this bed with you, I ain't convinced
Cause, I don't know how, I don't know how heaven, heaven
Could be better than this

I swear you're an angel
Sent to this world
What did I do right to deserve you, girl?
I could stay here forever
I'd be fine if we never had to even leave this room

Everybody's talking about heaven like they just can't wait to go
Saying how it's gonna be so good, so beautiful
Lying next to you, in this bed with you, I ain't convinced
Cause, I don't know how, I don't know how heaven, heaven
Could be better than this
Could be better than this

Thad:]
Everybody's talking about heaven like they just can't wait to go
Saying how it's gonna be so good, so beautiful
Lying next to you, in this bed with you, I ain't convinced
Cause, I don't know how, I don't know how heaven, heaven
Could be better than this (heaven)
Could be better than this (heaven, heaven)

I swear this is perfect
Come kiss me one more time

As Thad finished singing to Rachel, he leaned forward and was about to kiss Rachel until he looked down at her phone flashing.

"Better answer this...sorry." Rachel said.

"Hi Seb! Yes I'm on my way home. Miss you too." Rachel said.

"Miss you too beautiful. Hurry home." Sebastian answered.

Rachel looked back and Thad was already gone.

Wow why did that break her heart even more? Rachel thought. She hurried to gather her cart and go to checkout.

Thad, meanwhile, was fighting back tears. He really messed up. He had to find a way to fix this. Or should he step aside and let Sebastian and Rachel figure out what was between them? Should he move on himself?

I love you Rae.I'm trapped in our Past....
