Mr. CEO [ON HOLD]

Unraveling Finn Trate {53}

The contact name on the text showed that it was Finn. I opened up the text and it read

Hey, you busy?

I replied back, Kinda i'm doing laundry.

Wow she cooks and cleans. What don't do you Miss Perfect?

I rolled my eyes as I typed back a response, I can't really accept credit for the cleaning part. I just hit a bunch of buttons on a machine.

I got out of car and walked back inside the laundromat. I'm going to give you credit regardless.

Hold on. My dryer's ready. I texted back as I placed the phone in my purse. I emptied the clothes into the laundry bags. I always put too much fabric softener in my clothes but the smell of them afterwards was always worth it.

I separated my clothes from Maria's and loaded them in my car. I drove home and I tossed the bags onto our beds. I will sort them out later.

Then I hopped onto my couch while pulling my phone out. There was a message from Finn.

Alright. Call me when you're done.

I dialed his number quickly and he picked up on the first ring.

"Hi" I said into the phone

"Hey" he said back, "So, I just ordered a ton of room service and I have no one to eat it with"

"You're a successful guy. I'm sure there's someone who's free" I said back sarcastically.

"Yea i'm talking to her right now. Come over." he stated

"What makes go think that I'm just going to drop everything and do what you say"

"Because I know you're not busy and I'm inviting you over for free food."

"Ehh...I'm not convinced"

He gave a light chuckle, "Just so you know I'm currently lacing up my shoes. I will be at your place in 20 minutes."

"Wait what? Stop. Unlace them now." all he did was laugh and I could hear him shuffling around. Was he being serious?

"Fine. If I'm being forced to come, then I want to be able to leave at my own time. I will drive to you"

"Ehh...I'm not convinced" he said using my words

"Finn!" I shouted. I couldn't control the smile on my face.

"Alright. Alright I'm kidding."

"Mmmh" I hummed in response and added, "Give me half an hour. Text me your address. Don't eat anything without me"

"Im making no promises" I rolled my eyes and hit the end button.

I quickly got into the shower to wash myself off. I slicked my ponytail back since my baby hairs were all sticking up. I would straighten my hair but I knew it would take too long.

I decided to wear my dark blue jeans and added my graphic tshirt. I put on my sandals and sprayed some perfume on. My outfit was plain but I didn't feel like dressing up since I would be just staying in a hotel.

My phone battery was 5% and I made a mental note to charge it when I got to Finn's house. I got my work bag and carried it with me into my car. I figured this way I wouldn't have to carry it in the morning for work.

I stopped my the gas station and drove to the address that Finn texted me with. A couple of minutes later I parked my car in front of Chicago Hotels. I pulled out my phone from my bag since it was the only thing I needed. I slid my dying phone into my back pocket and went inside the hotel.
