Travel (A Jack and Finn Harries Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Three

The photo is of the girl I've used as inspiration for Ash, this is how I imagine her. Some slight changes from my written descriptions (hair color and whatnot) but you get the gist :) Don't forget to comment and vote, it means so so so much to me. Honestly. 

            “But I don’t want to leave,” Finn whispers playfully while his lips graze my neck.

            His warm, sweet breath almost makes my knees buckle. Finn’s mouth latches onto my neck and sucks on it seductively. After all last night and today, I surely have a hickey on that spot of my neck by now. I’ve spent all day with Finn, and now it’s nearly seven o’clock at night. Jack will be here in one hour, I have to make Finn leave the house.

            “I told you, I have to go to the hospital tonight.”

            “I’ll go with you. You Aunt seems to be quite fond of me,” he smiles and pulls away from me, walking over to the kitchen counter.

            “She does like you a lot, but I think I should spend some time with her alone. Besides, my family could leave the hospital and come home any minute. It actually surprises me that they’ve all stayed in the hospital for this long.”

            “I wouldn’t mind meeting your family,” he pours two cups of tea, “Since you’ll be meeting mine in a few days.”

            My eyes grow wide when I realize that I’ll have to be around Jack and Finn’s relatives. If Grace can find out about mine and Jack’s secret relationship, then I’m sure someone in their family could too. And they would not have the same reaction as Grace. Finn hands me my mug and I sip it casually. He’s making it hard to ditch him.

            Finn raises the mug to his lips and takes a gulp. My eyes fall lower, taking in his flawless image. He’s wearing a thin, dark blue sweater and black boxers. After an entire day of lying around the house and being with him, I still sometimes become flustered around him. I guess I haven’t adjusted to being this intimate with someone as attractive as Finn.

            “I need to go alone,” I say flatly, “But I can meet up with you later?”

            He’s a little caught off guard by my bluntness, “Okay… um, do you want to grab a bite to eat afterwards? Late dinner?”

            “Maybe,” I nod along even though I know I’ll be eating with Jack, “Should I meet you at the hotel?”

            “Definitely.”

            Finn takes another gulp of tea and then smiles at me weakly before leaving the room. I feel bad for being so rude. I made it obvious that I was ditching him tonight… and if I was actually going to visit my family in the hospital, I wouldn’t feel this bad about it. But I lied right to his face just so I can go on a date with his brother. I feel so guilty.

            I finish the rest of my tea sip by sip. Finn reappears in the kitchen with pants, shoes, and a sweatshirt on. He grabs his keys and moves over to me quickly. Finn puts one hand on the small of my back and pulls me closer, giving me a strong kiss.

            “See you, love.”

            Finn leaves me standing in my panties and T-shirt, holding onto my cup of tea with both hands. I can hear his car speed away from the house and I sigh in relief. I was afraid Jack would show up while Finn was still here. I quickly make my way into the shower.

            I comb my damp hair while I scan my suitcase and closet carefully. I don’t know how to dress because I don’t know where Jack is taking me. The past couple times I’ve gone out with them, I’ve been under dressed. A part of me really wants to impress Jack and Finn tonight.
