Chicago with Fin had been a dream, we had our first date a few days ago and honestly it was perfect. He took me out to an Italian place that was right around the corner from my dad's loft. We spent hours enjoying being out as couple, Fin had nicknamed this week 'the week of normal couple things'- which was true we were doing things any other couples do. We only had a few days left of our week left, today I had planned to do some schoolwork just so I don't fall too behind. Fin was out with my dad somewhere. I think my dad took him to a job he was doing- Fin mentioned something about wanting to redecorate a little and that somehow ended with them going out together. I was grateful for the quiet, currently I was getting through an English essay, Fin had assigned some critical writing for the break and it was a bitch. There is a reason I stick to creative writing but I guess I have to do it if I want to stay accepted to Chicago.
About halfway through the essay I was interrupted by Fin who had brought some lunch. I took a break to eat it but soon got back on with writing. Fin was trying to convince me not to but I stopped listening. Soon the repetition of my name got annoying, "I literally have a paragraph left to write, that's going to take me fifteen minutes tops."
"Every second counts pigtails." Great, now he's trying to annoy me.
"Annoying me won't help make me go any faster."
"I was not trying to annoy you."
"Whenever you call me pigtails it's to annoy me or get my attention."
"Well it worked."
"I have to finish this essay."
"Nope, you can take a break. You've been at this all day."
"As my teacher you should not be encouraging this."
"As your boyfriend I'm telling to take a break and let's have some fun." He states closing my laptop. He pulls me off the bed and throws me a sweater to put on.
Leaving the loft he takes me in the direction a nearby park, we had visited it the other day after our dinner. He stops at the fountain and I smile. After our dinner we had spent a good hour sat on the wall of the fountain just enjoying spending time together outside the apartment. It was nice to sit and watch the people go by and not worry about the wrong person seeing us.
Now we were back at the fountain. There were less people around due to how late in the day it was. It truly felt as if we were the only two who were here right now. The park had beautiful views, the stars were bright in the dark sky and it just lit the night beautifully. Fin thought so too as he was happily taking pictures of me and the view. Before he could take another picture however, I covered my face, I was not looking my best after an afternoon hidden away in my room- there was no way Fin was documenting this. He tried to show me how beautiful I looked by scrolling through the pictures he took. One of them did actually look good so I asked him to send it me.
"Shit." He mumbles tapping at his phone, "so I may have accidentally texted it to my mates."
"How the fuck did you do that?"
"Usually, you're at the top of messages so I just sent it to that one not bothering to check it."
"Well hurry up and delete it then."
"I can't they've all seen it in now."
"Well great." I mutter walking off and back towards the apartment.
"it's no big deal."
"No big deal? In case you forgot no one can know about us especially people I don't know. How am I supposed to trust them to keep it a secret if I don't even know they are?"
