Revisited

Chapter 3

I'm literally like a walking zombie. The flight was so long and I felt lost without the use of my phone for ages. I can't wait to just turn on 3G and talk to all of my friends again.
"You're Aunt should be waiting for us here.." Dad said drifting off as he searches the crowd.
"Ah.. There she is!" He said waving. A middle aged woman with wild red hair bursts out of the  crowd and walks towards us.
"Dan!" She said throwing her arms around dads neck.
"Aha, hey there Helena, it's been a long time." He said blushing a bit. I watched them both closely and saw something pass between them. I wonder what their history was.
I only met Aunt Helena twice before, she's my mums sister even though they don't look anything alike.
"Oh, erm. This is Katie, you remember her right don't you?"
Helena stares at me for a moment, as if she'd only just registered my existence.
"Awww don't you just look so much like your mother?" I immediately hate her.
"Well I bet your both tired" she said after all I did was glare at her. She gave a withering look to dad and I got another feeling that they had had some kind of history.
"Yeh, it might be best if we get going."
We walked out of the airport and the cold night hit me and made me shiver slightly. The two of them walked on ahead of me until they found Helena's car. I sat alone in the back and started to fall asleep.

"Kit-Kat, darling wake up," I stirred slightly to dad shaking me awake. I could hear nearby city sounds and you couldn't see the stars because of all the light pollution. We went to the trunk of the car and brought our cases through the front door. It seemed like a family house but I was too tired to take the details in so I just walked into the room Helena pointed me into and flopped onto the bed.

The digital clock by my bedside table read "11:34" so I guess I slept  in....English time.
I pulled myself out of the bed and dragged myself up. I looked down at my clothes. I couldn't remember getting changed into my pyjama shirt and shorts but I was really tired. I piled my hair into a messy bun and opened the door. After trying a few doors, I found the kitchen and walked in. A boy stood over the counter and turned as soon as I walked in. He wore pyjama pants but had no shirt on. His abs in full view.
"Oh, hey there?" I said.
"Hey?" He said confused, his voice was smooth and his head was shaggy and blonde. He looked like a surfer dude.
"Oh, I'm Katie. My dad and I are staying with you for a bit" I explained. He laughed and said.
"Don't worry, Helena filled me in on all that."
"Oh, then why did you sound confused?" I asked.
"Because I didn't expect you to be so...." He trailed off, leaving me curious.
"To be so... what?" I asked giggling.
"Well.. So hot!" He blushed slightly as I laughed.
"Cute accent by the way." He said winking at me.
"Thanks, yours ain't too bad either!" I laughed.
"So what do I call you?" He asked.
"Well I'm Katie." I said.
"Nice to meet you Katie, I'm Finley. Or Finn, whatever really."
"I think Finn suits you more," I said giggling.
"Okay then, so you must be hungry. Want anything to eat?" He said pointing  over to a kitchen counter, I walked over to it and in the reflection of the microwave saw Finn checking out my ass.
"Hey, aren't we cousins or something? So shouldn't you stop checking out my ass?" I turned around catching his eyes making their way to my face again. I picked up a spatula which was lying on the kitchen surface.
"Aha! Caught you!" I said pointing it at him threateningly at him.
"Hey chill it!" He said laughing. "And we aren't actually related!"
"Wait what? I thought you were Helena's son?"
"Nah, I'm adopted by her."
"We're?"
"Well either Helena couldn't have kids or she never found the guy to have them with but she adopted me, gave me a better home you know."
"Oh okay."
He nodded before his eyes explored my body and he left the room. I ate a small bowl of cereal that I managed to forage and then left to go to my bedroom. For some reason, I couldn't get Finn out of my head. I really wanted to accidentally bump into him again.
