Somehow it is morning, I wake with surprise and a pang of sadness. Finn is wrapped against me. In such a short space of time I am getting used to this. His skin against mine is divine.

I had thought me being in Finn's bed naked would mean he might have sex with me again, but in the end he held me, we chatted complete nonsense, listening to music and obviously drifting off to sleep. It was more perfect than sex. Though in saying that. Finn so close to me it is hard not to attack him.

"I.... love you" a whisper escapes my lips as I am studying his beautiful relaxed face.

"About time you told me Rae" he replies.

"Is that right? Well, you were meant to be asleep and that is why I whispered it" delivered with me poking my tongue out at him.

"Rae Earl, was that your tongue" he has woken up in such a funny mood. He is relaxed and if I am reading this right. He is happy.

It is early. Finn's phone interrupts us. He ignores it, but as soon as it stops it starts ringing again.

"Someone's persistent" Finn declares. He gets out of bed and runs to the phone. I watch him admiring just how lovely he is, but I have fear running through my body.

"Morning" he says when he picks up the phone. He turns to look at me instantly. His hands running through his hair looking at me. FUCK what is it? "Ok, ok..." he says. "She is ok, she is here with me."

Our bubble has completely burst. I feel sad and like every other day of my life scare. So much for the sleep not full of fear and that strange feeling of being alright. It has gone instantly.

"Calm down" he says "She is fine I won't let anything bad happen to her, she is with me."

"Alright. Alright" he hangs up and climbs back into bed immediately dragging me to him.

"Finn, who was that?" I ask.

"Archie."

"What?" I ask.

"Would appear we kind of forgotten the rest of the world Rae. I love that we have, but others have been just a lil worried" he explains.

"Why would Archie be worried?" I ask.

"Well it would appear your mum has been ringing your house and there of course was no answer. She rang Chloe. Chloe rang Archie and then well Archie..." he explains.

"Oh shit!"

"Chloe calmed your mum down, well kind of. She told your mum that you were with her. But Chloe panicked because she had no idea where you were" Finn continues.

"Finn I have to go home. Like now."

He doesn't move to release me or let me out.

"FINN. NOW."

In a panic I get out of bed forgetting I am naked. I frantically get dressed I must of looked a sight. "Finn, stop watching me!!!!"

"Rae, calm down" he says.

"Finn, my mum. Oh Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!"

He gets out of bed and holds me. "Rae, calm down. Breathe girl. In. Out. In. Out" he instructs. "And again Rae a deep breathe in and out."

I relax into him. I am crying.

"My mum will be beside herself Finn. She found me when I had to be taken to hospital. She only just started working nights again. Then I disappear. She will never trust me again" I explain. "She is going to kill me Finn!"

"Shhh Rae, it will be ok. I will come and talk to your mum" Finn tries to calm me.

"Ummm, Finn, that will make it worse. My mum will think the worst" I try and let him down easily.

"Like what Rae?" he asks.

"That we, ummm, you know" I try to spit it out.

"Slept together?" he fills in the gaps.

I nod.

He takes hold of my chin gently and looks me in the eye "Rae, it is so much more than sex your mum is going to need to know."

"No. No. No. Finn. My mum will kill us regardless" I release myself, frantically finish getting dressed as he stands watching me, grab my bag and start to make my way downstairs. Finn is right behind me. As I try to open the front door he places his hand on mine. "Rae, calm down" he says.

"Finn, you aren't hearing me. My mum is about to go mental. Telling her I have spent my time with you whether it is innocent, filthy, real or a jok..." I stop.

"Or a what Rae?" he asks.

"Forget it Finn" I reply.

"You still think this is some fucking game" he says angrily.

I drop my head and I slowly turn so I am looking at him. "No I don't Finn, but..."

"But what Rae?" he is still angry.

"But, most people will think this is. They will think you are with me because..." I trail off.

"Fuck Rae, I don't care what anyone else but you think. Do you think this is a joke?" he asks.

"No Finn. I think right now that you believe you love me. I think when everyone is clued in on this you will realise..." I stop again.

"No Rae. Nobody will change my mind. It is you and me against the world girl. I am not going anywhere and your mum and anyone fucking else is going to have to get used to it" he has laid down the law. I drop my bag and I kiss him.

That moment when he kisses me back is full of him releasing his frustration. It is urgent. Needy. And I am his.

He takes my hand and leads me back upstairs. I know in every touch, sound and word Finn loves me.

We are one.
