I can wait a little longer to hear him tell me he loves me because if I’d been paying better attention these last few weeks, years maybe, I would have already known. This conversation wouldn’t have been necessary. Still, it makes me feel better about deceiving Max.
We’re not a fling. We’re not screwing around. This is the real deal.
“Memorial Day?” Finn asks as he sits on the edge of my bed. He was supposed to leave fifteen minutes ago. Max should be waking up any minute and they have a big day planned. Max is officially the President of the Kappa house now and he wants to start making changes right away. Cleaning up the place.
Finn isn’t a member of Kappa Omega Lambda, but he was recruited for his muscle and skills. At least, that’s the way Finn explained it when he said we wouldn’t be able to hang out today. I was hoping with Max, and most of our other friends, occupied we could go to the movies or something without having to worry about getting caught.
I also wanted to talk strategy. After my conversation with Max over the weekend, I’ve realized we can’t keep lying to him. I don’t like it. I’m not ready to hire someone to skywrite Finn and I are dating yet, but Max deserves to know. Even if he’s not going to like the idea. And what better place to tell him than a party?
“Think about it. Most of our friends will be there. Both of our families. We can tell them all at once and he will be less likely to make a scene in front of everyone.”
Averting his eyes, Finn slips into his running shoes and stands. When he turns to face me, I’m surprised to find he’s not smiling at me. Instead, he looks worried.
“That’s two weeks away, LT. Don’t you think we’ve already been lying to him long enough? We’re going to get caught and shit’s going to hit the fan. It’s already hard enough to ignore you when he’s around. My eyes seek you out. My body reacts.”
“Stop thinking about me naked when he’s around then,” I joke, throwing back the thin sheet covering my naked body and kneeling on the bed in front of him. I’m rewarded with one of Finn’s signature grins that cause my heart to skip a beat.
That look was only for me.
Stepping to the edge of the bed, he slowly runs his hands up and down my arms, igniting a fire inside of me. I want to pull him back into bed and keep him here all day. Screw going to the movie. We can cuddle, watch a movie here, and stay naked.
“Stop trying to distract me.” You can hear the pleading in his voice as he continues to lightly graze my skin, moving from my arms to the curve of my neck and finally to my face, cupping my cheeks. “So tempting.”
“You could always stay. Tell Max your girlfriend has you tied to her bed and won’t let you leave.”
Girlfriend.I really like the way that sounds.
I made him repeat it multiple times last night as he ravished my body twice before we both passed out, completely sated.
Leaning in close, he kisses my lips gently before stepping out of my reach, knowing I was going to pull him in for more.
“Two weeks. If you want to tell him at the party, that’s fine. I’ll try my best not to fuck you against my bedroom wall while he’s in the apartment.”
“You would never!”
“I’ve thought about it more than once.”
“Finn!”
“Shhh. Kendall is still asleep. Unless she has company?” He lifts his eyebrow in question, but I shake my head, letting him know she’s alone.
“I think it was a fling. She doesn’t want anyone to know so don’t say anything,” I explain.
“I want to know when it started. He never said anything to me.” I can hear the irritation in Finn’s voice. I want to ask why he cares so much, but then again, I don’t. Because if I do …
“Don’t tell me who it is.” The words are rushed as I stick my fingers in my ears.
“You still don’t know?”
“Didn’t see his face, and she didn’t want to tell me. I think you’re the only person who knows besides them.”
Finn scrubs his face with his hands and lets out a huff. “I don’t like it.”
“Your opinion doesn’t matter. It’s not our business.”
“But it is my business, and I don’t like them together.”
“Not your decision. People aren’t necessarily going to like us together. That’s not going to stop us from moving forward, is it?”
