The pogues unwillingly made things so much easier for Rafe and Aria.

"Wait." Rafe tried to warn Aria after Kie's fathers truck drove off, Aria already speeding toward the church doors, "Aria."

"Better keep up, Cameron." she teased, a evil giggle leaving her lips as she dramatically pulled the doors of the church open. Aria smiled as she spun around in the slightest, making her way into the old, possibly haunted, church, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Silly pogues."

"A-" Rafe began again after he took his time in coming into the church, keeping the coast clear. He stopped when his eyes set on her pulling cushions off the large cross. It was bigger then either of them actually were thinking, prettier, and clean. Arias face lit up as she stared down at it, her index finger over the little crystals in the middle. She looked over at Rafe, his stare lingering onto the cross longer then intended.

Rafe felt Arias stare, meeting her eye as he grinned alongside her. She ran his way, jumping up into his arms as his arms tightened around her smaller frame, spinning them both in a circle as a celebration.

"God, look at it." Aria spoke out loud as she kept look into the back of the truck, the cross laying back there, "So gorgeous."

"About time we found it." Rafe spoke, reaching over to grab Arias hand. She hadn't stopped smiling since they finally managed to load it up at the church, latching onto his hand, "You happy?"

"So happy." she smiled, "God, we're gonna be one of those privileged couples that fucking hate everyone but it doesn't even matter because their both so hot and have so much money."

Couple.

Rafe grinned as he stared at the road, coming across a crashed truck. A familiar one at that, "Is that-"

"Hell yeah, roll down my window." Aria laughed, unbuckling her seat belt as her window began to roll down. As they passed the pogues on the side of the road, the darkness from the sky far from dark enough to conceal Aria hanging out her open window, both middle fingers on disbelief and shiny lips turned up into a smile.

Rafe laughed as Aria got back into the car fully, passing them completely. She gave a giggle, sitting back down completely. Aria lifted her hips a second to get comfortable and adjusted in her seat again, window coming up. Her head turned, watching Rafe a second as his biceps flexed in the slightest, hand tightening on the wheel.

A hum left Arias lips, leaning over to lay a kiss on his cheek. Rafe rose his eyebrows at her action, watching as she stood up and climbed toward the back, "Where you goin?"

"Checking on our baby." Aria said, kneeling down next to the gold cross. She placed her hand on it again, staring as the shine lit up her eyes in the slightest. Rafe watched her through the mirror, eyes glancing at the road every now and then as he turned. Aria stumbled slightly but not bad, humming in delight as she stared at the gold. Every fuck up in her life didn't matter anymore. It didn't matter that the bank was taking her house, that her phone bill was well over due, that she owned plenty of ticket money, that she hadn't finished high school, didn't have a job.

All that mattered now was the gold, and Rafe.

Rafe took his eyes off Aria for a second, watching the empty road as they passed a few street lamps. A fabric flew forward, smelling of old spice and orange sherbet. Glancing, he could make out the band tee shirt that was cut shorter. Looking back in the mirror, his eyes widened at Aria in the green bra and her black shorts. She hadn't been looking at him, bending down and laying back so her head resting on the gold. Rafe swerved suddenly, nearly hitting one of the tree stumps because he was gawking at her too bad.

A giggle mocked him from the back. Aria adjusted herself again, hips picking up to get comfortable. The green color looked gorgeous against her skin, no matter how much better it would look completely off, "You should take a break from driving for a little bit."

She didn't have to tell him twice either, the truck pulling over immediately and put in park. Rafe unbuckled quick, climbing into the back. He stood above her, looking down at her laying figure with her head rested in the gold cross, "What are you doing down there?"

Aria ignored him, hand up reaching to latch onto his own. Rafe kneeled down next to her, knees pressing onto either side of her hips. She let his hand go, adjusting her hips against to press up onto his. Rafes jaw tightened, looking down at her as she did it again, "You're something else."

"Yeah." she agreed, sitting up some so their faces were closer, "You totally dig it though."

Rafe leaned over to press his mouth onto hers, Arias arms flying around his neck to pull him deeper into their kiss.

Rafes free hand grabbed hold of the cross when they laid back, her head resting back on it again. Arias got a grunt from Rafe when she pulled him down some more, his knees pressing into the metal more. His free hand roamed across her bare skin, across the cheap fabric of the green bra. It hadn't covered much now that he was close, pulling it down her shoulders anyways though.

Arias hands latched onto the button up Rafe wore, giving a a hard yank as the top two buttons broke from the expensive fabric, flying off and hitting loudly across the metal of the floor. He sat up, pulling his mouth off her's and getting the rest off before her hands did any more damage. Before Aria could meet him in a kiss again, Rafe latched onto her neck with a hot kiss, her collar bones next and making his way down toward her shorts.

Aria bucked her hips up impatiently, her foot knocking him in the side in a demanding way. Rafe laughed at her movement, popping the button on her shorts, "Impatient."

"Not usually." she said back, picking her hips up so he could yank the shorts down her legs. His ring was cold against her thighs, or maybe it was just the freezing metal on her back getting to her. Either way, his body heat made up for it. Rafe moved back up to kiss her again, pressing his lips onto her much more eager.

Kissing Aria was a whole new thrill, like the feeling you get right before you're about to make a huge drop. Maybe she'd been a good kisser, or maybe because he just wanted to do it for a long time. Either way, kissing her was better then kissing anyone else. She was tender and rough, yet carrying and gentle with the way she rubbed his back yet dug her nails into his shoulders when he kissed her. Maybe she'd wanted to kiss Rafe for a while too, just didn't realize it.

Arias hands ran down his abs painfully slow, getting a annoyed nudge from his knee. It was her turn to laugh into Rafes mouth, using her hands to hurry and pop the button on his jeans as Rafe did the rest. He sat up to look down at her, a cocky grin on her face, "This good enough for fucking on gold?"

Aria smiled, sitting up on her elbows with a nod, "I don't know. You haven't shown me much yet."

"Yeah?" Rafe asked, the mocking in her tone making him give her a grin. He kissed her chest once again, arms wrapping behind her back to pull her up onto the cross more. Her back was pressed onto it now rather then just her head, following her to hover above Aria again, "How's that?"

Arias didn't answer, her leg coming up to wrap around Rafes waist and pull him down onto her better, a whimper leaving her lips.
