Fionn's POV:

I woke up with a body laying next to me, I looked around and saw I wasn't in my room. I turned and saw Rosie asleep next to me, her hair was was messed up and strands over her face yet she still managed to look beautiful as ever. I looked over at the other bed to see if Izzy was there, but all I saw was an empty bed.

I felt Rosie move around as she woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at me, she gave me a small smile.

"You're still here?" She mumbled.

"I guess I fell asleep." She giggled. Oh how I loved hearing her laugh. I sat up and began to gather up my things. She sat up as well.

"Hey Fionn?" I heard her say.

"Yes?"

"Thank you." I looked at her as she smiled. "For last night."

"I hope I cheered you up."

"You did, I really appreciate it." She gave me a hug and I left back to my room. I opened the door and found a sleeping Harry laid on a still made bed. I shook my head and put my stuff down. I connected my phone to the charger since it was almost dead. I decided to take a shower.

Once I was done showering I dried off and got dressed. I walked out of the bathroom and saw Harry sitting on his bed reading a book.

"How was your night? You didn't come back to the room." He smirked at me.

"Oh get your head out of the gutter, we watched a movie and I accidentally fell asleep."

"Whatever you say mate." I rolled my eyes and threw my towel at him. He laughed and dodged the towel.

Rosie's POV:

I looked in the bathroom mirror and saw my eyes were still a bit puffy from last night. I splashed some water in my face and texted Izzy as I brushed my teeth.

"Hey where are you?"

I pressed send and laid down on my bed. I thought about last night and how Fionn managed to make me feel better. Which made it so much harder to get over him. I groaned in frustration. I heard the door unlock and in came Izzy, wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

"I see you're up? How'd your night with Fionn go?" She smirked at me.

"It was goo- wait, how did you know I was with Fionn?" I asked her.

"I came back and you two were snuggled up together looking adorable as ever. So i slept with Lindsay and Charlie." She said as she showed me her phone. "I snapped a pic." There I was, indeed, snuggled up with Fionn's arm around me, his head resting on mine.

"Is that why you didn't want to come with us? You had a little date?" She wiggled her eyebrows. "I thought you "didn't have feelings for him"." She said using air quotes.

"I don't."

"Then why did I walk in on you sleeping on his chest?"

"He came to cheer me up with candy and a movie. I guess we fell asleep."

"Cheer you up? Were you upset? Why? What happened?" Izzy asked concerned. She sat next to me on my bed.

"Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad's death." I told her.

"Oh my goodness Rosie, you should have said something. I feel so awful! I went out when you needed me the most." She began.

"No, Izzy, you're great. I don't like bringing it up, also I don't like being sad or crying in front of others. Fionn just surprised me out of the blue." I shrugged.

"I told you that you can come to me whenever you need to. Please come to me next time you feel upset?" She extended her arms and I accepted her hug.

"Thanks Iz, for being like a sister to me."

"Anytime." She smiled and stood up. "Now let's go, I heard they're serving waffles." I laughed but followed. Can't say no to waffles.

**********

Work began the same as always, currently I was painting a set and talking with Izzy and Lindsay about my boy troubles.

"Oh darlin' by the sound of it you'll never get over him." Lindsay stated.

"Thanks for the encouragement." I said sarcastically. I knew I still had to talk to Fionn and sort everything out, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. I loved hanging out with him and the rest of the boys. I didn't want to ruin anything or put our friendship in jeopardy.

"If you really felt like that you would've talked to him already." She told me.

"I just don't know how. I don't want to ruin our friendship."

"If you wait too long you will." Izzy said. I knew they were both right. I had to do it once and for all.

"Fine. I'll do it today."

I waited until lunch to talk to Fionn. We had a different schedule today so I didn't have the same lunch hour as the boys. I'd barely be finishing up while their hour began.

I finished my lunch and went to go find Fionn. When I couldn't locate him I sent him a text.

"Meet me by the bench by the set entrance??"

After I hit send I walked over to the location. Minutes later he arrived still wearing his uniform. He looked adorable.

" 'ey what's goin' on?" He smiled at me.

" I wanted to talk to you." I said. He sat down on the bench next to me. I began to speak.

"About?"

"Us."

"Us?" He was taken back a bit.

"What exactly are.. we?" I looked at him. He bit his lip and thought for a moment.

"What do you want us to be?" He asked. My heart wanted me to say one thing, but I knew I shouldn't. I couldn't.

"Look, I like you, I do." I began. "But I just can't be in a relationship right now. I can't be with you." It hurt me to say it. His face fell once he heard my words, which killed me.

"What about our kiss?" He asked me.

I wanted to tell him that our kiss was the best kiss I've ever experienced, and that he makes my heart melt when he smiles. I wanted to say that I want to kiss him every time we're together, but I couldn't.

"We were caught up in the moment." My heart hurt. He remained quiet.

"I understand." He said softly. "Maybe it's not the best idea to date people you work with." We sat there staring out into the parking lot in silence.

"Are we good?" I asked after a moment.

"Of course. Nothing's goin' to change between us."

I hope he's right.
