I Friend Zoned Finn Harries

Chapter 10 - Dinner pt. 2

My roof. The one place where everything seems to just disappear and nothing seems to matter anymore. I could get lost in night sky and have the bright stars erase my memory of everything if only just for a few minutes. In fact, some say the night is the best getaway. Whether it be used for a cover of a crime or just for one girls seemingly mixed up emotions. 

"Holly" I heard behind me making me turn around. "Finn?" I asked and he smiled "Hello" he said making me smile. I watched him clumsily climb though my bedroom window and onto the roof "It's been a few years since I’ve been up here" he commented. "Me too" I added bringing my knees up to my chest and resting my chin on them.

It was quiet for a while with both of us just looking up at the sky. "Why did you come up here?" I asked and he laughed "This is where you always go when you get pissed". I sighed "No. I was such an ass this morning and you said you couldn't stand me" and when I said that he had snapped down to look at me. "I'm sorry I said that" he apologized and I shook my head "Don't be. I'm under a lot of pressure right now and I snapped at Beth, then at you".

He gave me a pity smile "Holly I know you better than you know you" I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious!" he exclaimed making me smile "And one thing I do know is that if you do snap it's because something else is wrong, like your mum". 

Bringing her up made me think about why I was even up here in the first place. "She just...is never happy with me" I said closing my eyes "She didn't want me to leave and now she wants me gone". I felt Finns hand on my back and rolled my head around so I could look at him, resting my cheek on my knees so I could look at him.

"Well she is your mum so I doubt she just wants you gone" he said reaching forward and pushing back some hair that hung in my face. "And trust me, it's nothing to cry over" he said brushing the pads of his thumb on my cheek "I didn't know I was". I sat up and wiped the cold wet tears from my face and looked at Finn. "Now do we feel a little better?" he said raising his eyebrows and I nodded. 

"Good. Because you look so ugly when you cry" he joked and I pushed him "I hate you" I mumbled. "Fine I’ll just lea-" he said moving towards the window but I cut him off "No don't go!" I said grabbing onto his arm. He smiled sitting back down then lying down on his back "You need me" he said overly proud of himself.

"As sad as it sounds, I do" I admitted lying down beside him and rolling my head around to look at him. He rolled his head around and the moon light practically reflected off his jaw and danced off his porcelain skin. "I need you too" he said making my heart swell up and beat just a little faster than normal.

But then I froze and I’m pretty sure time froze. Finn was leaning in with his lips sticking out and his eyes closing. I couldn't move because I didn't know if I should or not. I didn't know if I had feelings for Finn or not and I definitely didn't know if I wanted to kiss him or not. But he kept moving in closer and closer and my body didn't seem to be moving back. It felt like forever before he was even close enough to me and I closed my eyes.

Maybe Jack was right, maybe I did want this?

He was so close I could smell the intoxicating cologne he had on. It made Goosebumps rolls all over my body and heart rate spike. I was so scared I could feel it beating in my ears and it felt like it was the middle of summer but it was probably just above freezing outside. I felt the tip of his nose touch mine and then, it happened.

Then his lips touched mine.

He soft, yet slightly chapped lips, touched mine. I could feel the smile on his face as he just left them there for a while. There was no tongue or roughness, just the two of us under the stars touching lips. But my hand did find its way onto his chest and I grabbed a hand full of his white button up. I could feel the smile that formed on his face get bigger as I moved my hand up to his neck and the tips of my fingers ignited his skin.

He pulled his lips away from mine and it almost felt as if someone was taking away the air from my lungs. He placed his hand on top of mine and played with my fingers till I opened my eyes to see him looking at me. "I've waited so long to do that" he said and the realization of what happened settled into my stomach.

"Finn" I said softly and I felt him squeeze my hand "I know you don't feel the same" he whispered. "I might, I don't know" I said and his eyes lit up "You might?" he asked baffled and I nodded. "But I don't know, I just need a little bit of time" I said sitting up and Finn did the same not letting go of my hand. "So I have a chance?" he asked and I blushed and nodded "Yea. I guess".

He let go of my hand and we both just sat there like smiling idiots for a while not looking at each other. "HOLLY!" I heard mother shout from the hall "That's my queue to go inside" I said looking over at Finn. "And mine to go home" he said and quickly lend in and pressed a quick kiss on my cheek and butterflies fluttered in my stomach.

"See you tomorrow" he said before slipping back though my bedroom window. "See you" I called back and he smiled before walking away. "HOLLY!" I heard my mother shriek again "Coming!" I called out coming back into the house.
