Alone {Fionn Whitehead}

{10}

"Do you think I'm a slut?"

Fionn was caught off guard by the sudden question and paused his aimless guitar plucking to look towards the worried looking girl sitting on his bed in only his shirt. "Why do you ask?" He nearly joked. She glared fiercely at him and then looked down, shaking her head. "We've known each other for just shy of two weeks and we've already fucked." She hissed. "Just for the record, I've never in my life done that. I mean- I don't just sleep with guys after having just like two conversations with them." "I'm not good at math, but I'm not crazy. I know damn well we've had more than two conversations." He smirked. She glared at him again causing him to raise his hands in defense. "What are you so worried about love? Relax." "I can't relax!" She almost shouted. "Everybody is gonna think I'm a slut for this! It's fine for you, you're a guy, but I'm just an easy girl who puts out after two weeks and-"

"Cut it out, love." He intervened. "Nobody is going to find out about this, first of all, because I'm not the kind of guy who just walks around bragging about things like this to his friends. That's not who I am, and I'd especially never talk about it with anybody knowing that you didn't want me to. Second of all, you are not a slut you're a woman. A woman with needs-" She blushed and hid her face in a nearby pillow which caused him to chuckle. "Well its true." He shrugged. "Sex isn't bad. We're two consenting adults, we used protection...And it was good." It was his turn to blush now. "Really fucking good."

"I still feel weird about it." She sighed. "You really don't think I'm a slut?" "I think you're a woman with needs, as I said. But there's nothing wrong with being a slut if that's what you wanna do. I say power to all the sluts!" He cheered.

Usually, Elana would've laughed at Fionn's foolishness, but today she just didn't feel right. What would her dad say if she told him she'd slept with a guy that she'd only known for less than two weeks? What would her brother say? What would her friends say? Well, considering she didn't have many of those she didn't have to worry too much about that, but still.

Noticing her mood, Fionn frowned and moved to sit next to her on his bed. He wrapped her up in his arms and pushed her head down so it was nuzzled in the crook of his neck. "Be honest, Lana. How do you feel about me?" He asked. She shrugged a little and muttered a quick 'I dunno.' Before wrapping her arms around him as well. "Well...I know how I feel about you." He stated. "I think you're truly the most beautiful, intelligent, amazing girl I've ever seen in my life, and talking to you or sitting in silence with you or even just being in the same room as you always makes me incredibly happy. I love your personality. I love that you have the same sense of humor as me and that you care so much about so many things and that you put your all into everything. I love that whenever I'm tired or upset or having a terrible day, all I have to do is text you and you manage to make me feel so much better. I know you won't believe me when I say it, but two weeks ago I was a miserable bastard. I was insanely negative and I rarely smiled- Really, ask any one of my acquaintances! I was always to myself and always cooped up in the flat, much like yourself. But then you came along and...I don't know. You made me happy. I could relate to you. I had a connection with you almost immediately. I probably shouldn't be telling you any of this because for one, I could be scaring you away as this is a bit heavy, and also because I don't know, you could use it against me. But I just want you to know that I don't think you're any less of a woman, any less of a person, because you slept with me. I still respect you and I still feel the same about you. I don't sleep with just anyone either. I slept with you because I really, really like you, and that's a good enough reason for me. Like I said, we're two consenting adults and we were safe about it so there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and nobody can convince me otherwise. To be honest, I feel really strongly about you and it's not even been a good two weeks. I can't even imagine how I'll feel a while from now when I get to know you even better if you stick around, which I'm hoping you will do."

Fionn finished his little speech and sucked in a deep breath, unable to look at her. He'd just admitted his true feelings and it was really gonna suck if she rejected him. He was questioning whether or not he'd scared her away when she slowly removed herself from his embrace and stood up. 'I've ruined it.' He thought to himself as he looked down.

"Damn." She whispered. "I knew I was fine but am I that fine?" She smirked. "You sound like you're in love."

'BITCH I MIGHT BE!' He screamed internally.

He shrugged his shoulders and grabbed her hands as she walked in between his legs. "Yeah, I'll stick around because you're cute or whateva." She grinned before leaning down to give him a quick kiss. "Seriously, I really like you too." She said softly.

"Of course you do, I'm wonderful." He boasted playfully. She rolled her eyes. "So...What are we? What position does this put us in?" He asked. "If you make a dirty joke about positions!" He warned before she could even start speaking. She sighed and closed her mouth back for a moment. "I think we should take it slow. I mean...Well, it's a bit late for that." She sighed. "I mean, I don't know, we could have a few dates still, right?" "Of course. I wouldn't just not take my girl out on dates." He chuckled. "How about Saturday?"  He questioned, staring up at her.

"Have to check my schedule. I've got friends you know. I'm popular." "Sure, honey. Whatever you need to tell yourself." He said sweetly. "There is something we should discuss before anything gets too serious between us." She mumbled shyly. He nodded and rubbed her arms. "What is it?"

"I don't want you to end up hurt later on if this develops into a relationship, so I'm just telling you right now. If Johnny Depp, Leo Dio, Harry Styles, Lil Uzi Vert, Steve Aoki, Beyonce, Rihanna or Nicki Minaj ever ask me to marry them or be with them in any way I will leave you in a second, and I just want you to know that." She stated firmly.

"I can deal with that, I reckon. And ditto."
