Finley is friends with Cole and has liked him for a year now. When her brother invites her to a lake house with his friends for two weeks, will that change? Will he like her back?
The rest of the lake trip went be super fast. We did really the exact same thing that we had been doing.
I ended up getting closer to Cole than I ever thought. I was as close with him as I was with Kay now. When I wasn't with one, I was with the other.
After that, the guys had to all go back to their respective cities, and I stayed at home in Michigan. Now, it was just me, Luke, and our parents. Not that I hated it, I just miss hanging around with everyone.
As the summer came and went, and daily facetime calls with Cole became a thing. We would talk about anything and it seemed like I really knew him more than anyone, well except for Kay. She's always my number one.
One day in late September , Kay and I decided to have a fun little adventure day. She wanted to get me out of the house a lot more. I mean, I did spend a lot of time doing absolutely nothing, and just binge watching tv shows and waiting for my daily Cole face time.
We decided to go a few hours away to a nice little small town vacation spot. It was perfect for our little girls trip.
The first day we went shopping at all these stores and got a shit ton of cute outfits that we knew we would rock.
That night we went out to dinner at a cute little diner and talked for forever.
"So, what's going on with Cole. For starters, you will not shut up about him. And 2. You're always on facetime with him. Spill the deets. I gotta know." Kay said as she stuffed her face with a waffle. (This place is like a Waffle House, or ihop if you don't know what waffle house is)
"Nothing, we're just friends. I mean I like him, and he doesn't like me back, so we all know that all we're gonna stay is friends. I mean. I never really hint towards him that I like him. It's just a low key thing."
"We have to think of a way to get you two together. I know it's hard with his crazy schedule, and the fact that Montreal is so far away, but you can do it."
"Nooo, not now. I want to give it a minute. Maybe when he comes this way for a game, but not right now. I don't know. It feels too soon. It's only been a month of us being really close. I don't want to be like that." I gave Kay a look of drop it, so we just ended up dropping the conversation.
"This isn't over Fin. I will get you with him. Even if that means driving up to Montreal myself, kidnapping him, and bringing him back here for you."

In the following days I really began to think about what Kay had said.
I mean, if I really like Cole, shouldn't I do something about it before someone else does?
So I texted Cole.
Shortyyyy When do you play Detroit? I want together soon:((( I miss youuuuuuu
He replied back quickly with,
Literally in 15 days Before or after the game let's get together I miss my bestie:((((
The days couldn't have gone by any slower. Every single day Kay was bugging me on what I was going to wear, if I was gonna tell Cole I liked him, and every single thing that a best friend would bug you about when you're going to see your other best friend/crush.
It was day 7, so that meant 8 more days until I got to see Cole. I started talking to Quinn about the sudden nerves I was feeling. I knew that he would be the one brother who would be able to help me with this situation.
"Quinn, I don't know why I'm nervous. I mean we hung out all summer and you saw how close we were getting at the lake house. I don't know, I guess I'm just scared that we won't really talk anymore after this. Please help. I know Cole and I aren't dating, but how do you and Kay deal with the distance while she's still in school?"
"Finleyyyy relax. Everything will be ok. Just be yourself. I'm 1000 percent sure that nothing has changed between you guys. All that you have to do really, is just test out the waters a little bit. Drop some hints here and there that you like him. It would make the transition to finally telling him easier than if you don't ease your way into it."
I could here the sincerity in his voice. I knew that Quinn was right. It was just nerve wracking having to tell someone that you're in love with them, and have been for a year.
"Also, how Kay and I work is we just communicate. That's what you have to do. If Cole does reciprocate feelings, all you have to do is just keep that communication going. You guys seem to talk a lot and really know one another. Just keep it going."
"Thanks Q. Really needed that."
After we got off of the call I started thinking of ways that I could maybe hint at Cole that I liked him.
At first I was thinking maybe after the game or something, and then I just threw every idea out the window after that, and really just stopped that entire train of thought anyway. Really I just said 'ah fuck it. It doesn't matter anyway.'
I hope next week actually works out how I wanted to.
. . . . . . . A/n: sorry that this chapter is short. I was thinking of posting two chapters today because this one was so short. The juicy stuff really doesn't happen until next chapter and I'm super excited to see how it comes out.
