Everything Has Changed (A Finn and Jack Harries FanFic)

Chapter 3

After unpacking and settling into my home for the next month, I made my way downstairs for dinner, to find Jack in the kitchen. I wrapped my arms around him, whispering a soft hello. He turned around, giving me a quick peck on the lips before returning to chopping tomatoes.

"What's on the menu for today, Chef Harries?" I said peering over his shoulder. 

"Penne Arrabbiata" He said in a ridiculous Italian accent. 

"Hm sounds good, can I help?" I asked, as he looked at me, eyebrow raised.

"Um, do you remember what happened when you tried to cook last? Yeah I don't fancy another trip to the emergency room, nor blood all over my Mum's kitchen" He said, smirking.

"Hey it wasn't that bad, it was 'a little scratch' as you said" I retorted, 

"Yeah, well didn't seem like that when you were bawling like a baby" He added, chuckling as I glared and threw a piece of tomato at him. 

"Woah kids, no food fights in here please. Jack, Mum's calling you" I heard a voice say, as Finn walked in to the kitchen. I blushed and turned around, he must think I'm a right idiot now, I thought. On cue, as if reading my thoughts, Finn said,

"Don't worry, Jack and I do it all the time" Before smirking and winking at me. He turned to the counter, grabbing a tomato and throwing it at me. 

"Here, you can cut that while I get the rest of the sauce ready" Finn said. I nodded, taking the tomato and slicing it as best as I could. I watched him out of the corner of my eye. Him and Jack were so similar in some habits, I thought as he fiddled with his ring, just like Jack did. As my attention wavered further, I felt something slice into my finger, before looking and seeing blood making its way down my hand. I groaned inwardly, cursing myself for doing it yet again. 

"Um, Finn" I asked, sheepishly. He looked up to see my finger dripping with blood. Emerald eyes widening, he grabbed my hand, pulling me over to the sink.

"Does it hurt?" He asked, looking worried.

"No, it feels great, maybe I should do it again" I said sarcastically, raising an eyebrow at him. He grinned as he noticed the sarcasm in my voice,

"Well look at that, Jack finally bagged himself a feisty one" He said, smirking, as he held my finger under the cold water. I scoffed while he turned the tap off, and put pressure on the cut with a towel, before dressing the wound. 

Jack walked back in, eyes widening as he realized what I had done. 

"I thought I told you not to," He said, sighing because he knew I never listened. 

"i just wanted to help" I shrugged, "besides it doesn't hurt that much and I'm not crying" I added. He sighed again, shaking his head.

"What am I going to do with you Lexi?" He asked, exasperated as I grinned and pecked him on the lips.

After cutting my finger, I was sent to the living room to 'bond' as Jack put it, with his little sister, Emmy. She was a bit shorter than me, with light brown hair, and the same twinkle in her eye as her brothers. Emmy and I watched an episode of the X Factory, bonding over our mutual taste in music and loathing of Tulisa. By the end of the episode, we were doubled over on the couch, in hysterics over the last audition which involved a lot of bad singing and very little clothing. Finn walked in as I was clutching my stomach and letting out some very unattractive noises, before snorting and laughing even harder. He leant against the door, smirking before I noticed him.

"Well, you both look like you're enjoying yourself" He said grinning.

"I think I'm going to be trading you for Lexi, sorry Finn" Emmy said shrugging as she got up. He narrowed his eyes before lunging at her, throwing her over his shoulder and leading us back to the kitchen. I laughed, getting up and following them to where Jack stood, looking at his creation proudly. 

"Mmm that smells so good," I said, mouth watering.

"Doesn't it?" He replied, grinning profusely at his invention. I shook my head, and went to get a glass of water as Jack's parents walked in. I greeted his father, whom I met for the first time. Although he looked serious at first, I could see where Jack and Finn got their cheekiness from. 

After clearing the table and washing the dishes with Jack, we both made our way to my room. His had been turned into storage, and Finn was sharing with Emmy so we were together. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, already half asleep from the journey and the excitement of the day. Slipping into one of Jack's tops, I made my way to the bed. 

"Aren't you going to be cold baby?" He said, looking at me. I laughed and shook my head,

"Do you know how much body heat you give off? I may as well have a radiator sleeping next to me" I said as he chuckled, wrapping his arm around my waist to pull me closer. I nuzzled into his neck, staring up at his emerald eyes.

"Jack" I said, 

"Hm?" He replied, looking down at me, the exhaustion in his eyes visible.

"Thank you for bringing me here" I said quietly. He smiled, eyes lighting up.

"I love you"

"I love you too" I replied softly, before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep, more content than I had ever been.

After the most blissful sleep possible, I woke up. Jack lay on his stomach, arm draped around my waist, his breathing even. I checked the time, 8AM it read. Sighing, I realized I'd have to get up. Careful not to wake Jack, I slowly moved his arm off me and crept out of bed and into the bathroom. I stripped and got into the shower, grateful for the hot water in the bitter cold of England. I felt the heat seep over me, relaxing my tense muscles. 

"Babe you in there?" I heard Jack call. I yelled that I was and heard footsteps coming into the bathroom. Peeking around the shower curtain I saw him standing there in all of his sleepy glory. He yawned, hand messing up his already unruly bedhead. He had bulked up since we first met, the muscles over his chest and down his abdomen were now more visible, leading to a defined V shape. He crossed his arms over his chest, biceps bulging and eyebrow raised, with a smirk that only meant one thing. 

"You know... I didn't shower when we got back yesterday". he said looking up slyly. I raised my eyebrow at him questioningly. 

"And besides, we really should conserve water", his little smirk had turned into a full fledged grin. Before I could say another word, he had somehow managed to get into the shower and pin me against the wall. Tracing circles over my hips he whispered into my ear

"God you're beautiful" He kissed me hungrily, with more force than I had ever experienced from him. It was a strange feeling, but amazing. Usually Jack was so careful and gentle, this was a side I had never seen before; wild and thirsty, and I loved it.
