Rare; Fionn Whitehead

eleven

When they reach her house Fionn insists on paying the taxi driver.
"Fionn.. we can split the money" she says.
"No, i insist" he says sternly and before she could say anything else he hands the driver the cash.
"Stay in the car" he says while opening the car door on his side.
She giggles as she watches him walk around the taxi to open the car door on her side.
"My lady" he says while holding out his hand.
She smiles while taking his hand and getting out of the car. They both thank the taxi driver before walking up to her front door.
"So, this is where I've been living for years with my parents. I can't wait until i get enough money to move out, i won't even mind if I'll have to rent an apartment" she says while getting out her keys and unlocking the door.
She opens the door and they both step inside.
"This is a very beautiful house" he says.
"Yeah it is, but it's boring. It just seems like a plain old house that has no character in it whatsoever, i mean my parents are never home so why would they care? I swear the only room in this house that has somewhat character is my bedroom" she says.
"Well let's go to your room then" he says laughing.
She laughs and they both walk upstairs to her room.
When they reach her room she turns the nob and pushes the door open.
"This is where i live most of the time when I'm not in the café or working" she says.
"I like it" he says.
It goes quiet, they could both feel the electricity between them.
"Would you want to order some takeaway now?" Fionn asks breaking the silence.
"Sure, what would you like?" she asks.
"I don't really mind" he replies.
"That helps" she says laughing and he joins her.
They both decide on having Indian takeaway so she gets out her phone and calls the best Indian restaurant she knows. He stares at her, admiring her features while she is on the phone. He loves the way her eyes shimmer when she's truly happy, the way her voice sounds different with each emotion she has. He's falling for her, so quickly. But he has no idea on how to tell her, let alone ask her out.
"They'll be here in about 15 to 20 minutes" she says after she hangs up.
She saw the way he looked at her, the way he smiled. And that for her, was enough to convince her that Harry was right. Fionn does have feelings for her.

After a while they both hear a knock on the door. As they're walking downstairs someone knocks again so they both, yell out that they're coming almost simultaneously. She opens the door and he stands behind her as she retrieves the bags of takeaway. Fionn's hand sneakily snuck it's way past Alice and he handed the person the money. She turned around and glared at him while he did so he laughed.
"Thank you sir" she says before closing the door.
"I swear to god I'm going to kill you" she says while walking upstairs to her room.
"I don't think you'll be very good at it" he teases.
"Stuff you" she says making them both laugh.

Once they had finished their food they decided to watch a movie on netflix.
"What you wanna watch?" she asks.
"I don't know, lets have a look at all the movies on netflix" he says.
She nods and they both get comfy on her bed. They both decided on what movie to watch so she put down her tv remote. For the first few minutes it was awkward between them, sitting next to each other with one centimeter of space between them. But then Alice moves her head and her eyes lock with Fionn's. Their hearts were racing like crazy as they stared deeply into each other's eyes. Fionn moves up his arm gesturing for her to move closer and cuddle him. Her eyes light up and she smiles as she moves closer to him, resting her head on his chest. It was almost 8pm.

At around 9:21pm the movie finishes. Alice's eyes were getting heavier by the minute, sometimes closing for a second.
"Are you getting tired love?" he asks her.
Love.
He said love.
He's such a cutie. She thinks to herself.
She nods and nuzzles into his chest more.
"Do you want me to go?" he asks.
"I don't want you to leave" she says.
"I don't either but i don't think your parents would be thrilled if they come home and see a boy in your bed" he says.
"I'm not their little kid anymore" she pouts.
"You're so fucking adorable" he says.
And he really means that, he finds her the most adorable and gorgeous human being on earth. She's rare, and he's falling completely, madly and deeply in love with her.
"I'll see you tomorrow, and I'll take you on a proper date. I've got a few interviews tomorrow so I'll be able to pick you up around 5pm and we can have dinner and then go back to either your house or my hotel and watch a movie again, or unless you want to skip tomorrow and see me again the next day when I've got something amazing planned" he says while playing with her hair.
"A date huh?" she says smirking.
His cheeks turn bright red.
"Y-yeah, if you want to" he says stuttering.
"Of course i want to, I'd love to" she reassures him.
"And I'd love to go out to dinner with you tomorrow, and then watch a movie at your hotel" she adds.
"So you're okay with seeing me three days in a row?" he asks.
"I wanna fucking see you everyday" she says making him smile.
"Well, I've got to go now but i promise I'll be here at 5pm tomorrow to pick you up" he says and she nods.
They both get out of her bed and walk hand in hand downstairs to the front door. Alice decided to wait with Fionn until his taxi arrived. Soon after a yellow taxi appeared in the darkness. They both got up still holding hands.
"Well, i guess I'll see you tomorrow" she says calmly.
"You definitely will" he replies smiling.
They stood there quietly for what felt like forever but in reality was probably a few seconds. She leans in as if she's going to kiss him but instead kisses him on the cheek.
"Goodbye Fionn" she says.
"Goodbye Alice" he replies.
She watches as he walks off to the taxi and gets inside. She had saved the kiss for tomorrow, she just wanted to tease him the slightest bit.
