twenty nine

Sunday came rolling around sooner than I expected. It's currently 9am and although I'm not seeing the boys for another 6 hours, I have nothing better to do than start getting ready.

My mum eventually gave in to me meeting them. I think she's just worried about me getting hurt again, but I'm sure this time that things will work out. I haven't been so sure about something in a very long time.

After showering for 30 minutes, I change into my black jeans with a simple white top. It's not anything special.

I look at myself in my full length mirror and decide to change again. Maybe I should make more of an effort? It's looks like it's going to be a warm day, so I can't end up wearing any of my jumpers or hoodies.

At the back of my wardrobe are some summer dresses that I've only worn once or twice. Usually I stick to jeans and jumpers. But as it's a nice day, I pick out one of the dresses. It's a white strapless one with a few dabs of colour, which stops right above the knees. Hopefully, it doesn't look like I've tried too hard.

I'm just about to apply some make up when Richard shouts from downstairs.

"Alex! It's for you!"

I groan before I make my way to the stairs, hearing muttering coming from Richard and someone at the door.

I stop still when I see who it is. Richard lets Finn inside and (me being the stupid person I am) I just stand there at the top of the stairs. When he sees me, he looks up and stops talking. He's brought flowers.

'Ha,' I think to myself, 'Flowers aren't going to make me forgive you'

"Um, hey," he says, unsure of my reaction.

After giving Richard a quick glare, he walks into the living room and looks down, knowingly.

Finn waves the flowers in front of him and I see how nervous he is. He's dressed in black jeans with a blue buttoned shirt. He's even done his hair properly - and it's 10 in the morning on a weekend.

He stands there, not saying anything for a short while, when I'm about to speak.

"I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry. Alex, I didn't know what to do. I don't know why I did it. It was after school and she just started flirting with me and because I'm such a dick, I flirted back and then we kissed and it was all a big fucking mistake. I swear it-"

When he's saying this, I realise how happy I'll be without him. I'm going to meet Luke today, which means that he's the only one I'll need (except Ruby), whether he's my friend or more than that.

"Actually, don't apologise. It's better this way. Thank you for cheating on me because now it's so much easier for me to say that we're done,"

Smiling, I flounce back up the stairs in my dress and don't look back to see his reaction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's now 12pm and I'm too nervous to eat anything. Finn texted me a couple times asking me if I just dumped him. I replied, 'Yes. I would say sorry but you were the one who cheated on me. So, no hard feelings? :)'

Now that I've cleared my relationship with Finn, I'm more than happy with things. All I need now is to see Luke and things will be even better.
