The Bells of St. Johns part 5
After I choked out an okay to Finn, our food arrived and we spent the next hour or so chatting idly.
All during lunch my mind was spinning. I liked him. I liked him a lot. But… I was so far in the closet I was practically in Narnia, and being with Finn would catapult me out.
But I wasn’t so sure I minded.
Finn was… well, perfect. Gorgeous, smart, funny, not to mention his air of mystery and allure… and his undeniable sexiness.
Jaysus. Two days ago I would have called myself a fairy and whacked myself round the head, and now… Jaysus Mary and Joseph.
But I really liked him. Maybe lov-no. I canna think like that.
And anyway, how was I to know how he felt? He was such a mystery I never knew if he was playing around or whether he was truly voicing his feelings.
A sharp thwap on the side of my head jerked me back to reality.
“You do that a lot, you know,” said Finn.
I rubbed my head. “What’s that?”
He smiled, running a hand through his hair. “Go a million miles away. But don’ worry. I do that too, mostly when I’m writin’.”
“You write?”
“Songs. Music, mostly,” he cleared his throat. “Poems, sometimes. I tried writin’ a story once…” he chuckled nervously. “Was a complete haymes.”
I smiled at him, surprised at his nervousness. “Tha’s cool. I’d like to have a listen at one o’ your songs someday.”
Just then Caoimhe came with our bill. I reached for it, but Finn grabbed it before I could.
“Ye’re not payin’. I took you out, remember?” He said, then let out a hoot of laughter.
“Wha?”
He pushed the bill at me, still laughing.
On the bottom of the bill, in pink pen, were the words,
Call me anytime~ I stay up late <3 Caiomhe McCally
1-974-374-6482
I snorted, but I felt a weird twinge in my chest. It felt almost… possessive?
Cool fingers wrapped around my own, contracting lightly.
“Shall we go?” asked Finn.
Dazed that he was holding my hand- actually touching me- I nodded and let myself be led out into the rain by Finn.
