•chapter 4•she kissed me•

millie

"she kissed you!" finn exclaims, he was sitting on ava's pink bean bag in the corner of my room.

"on the cheek finn." i chuckle.

"i don't give a fuck where it was, you gotta ask her out man!" finn yells, i shush him as ava was taking a nap across the hallway.

"don't you think it's a little fast? i don't want to overwhelm her, i've known her for only a month finn." i sigh and lay back on my bed.

"i mean, usually...ehh i'd say yeah, but she genuinely seems to like you, i reckon just ask her on a date, whether you just go to the drive in or have a night at the beach just hang out with her. i genuinely think she'll say yes, and if all goes well in 10-15 years i'll be putting this into my speech at your wedding." finn grins and raises his eyebrows at me

"fuck off." i laugh and throw a pen at him. he gets into the bed beside me and whinges at me as we try to choose something on netflix.

about 3 episodes into that 70's show my mum calls us down for dinner, we both grab plates and put a piece of steak and veggies on them.

"thanks heaps for having me over kel, mum and dad wanted to make sure it was no fuss." finn smiles and cuts his steak.

"you know you're welcome always finny boy, mary and eric know that they're always welcome over too when they're not working." my mum ruffles up finns hair.

"finny boy can you pass the gravy." ava mocks mum.

"ava, can it. anyway finn, how's that boyfriend of yours going." my mum asks and takes a bite of her steak. finn almost chokes on his.

"oh you know about noah." he wipes his mouth and i couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

"oh baby, we all knew about noah long before it happened, your parents and i have been saying you were gonna end up together since you were about 11, i think it's adorable and when you're ready to tell your parents they will be over the moon." my mum smiles and taps him on the arm, finn blushes.

"actually? well um thank you a lot, i'm gonna tell them it's just scary yknow." he says and continues eating.

after dinner i went down to the basement for a smoke , i heard faint moans from the bedroom at the back, petrified i hastily tiptoed to find finn and noah making out on the mattress, i thought finn was still in my bedroom, i decided to be an asshole just cause they love me

i tiptoed over to the laundry sink and filled up mums soak bucket full with water and carried it at quickly and quietly as i could, except i forgot about the mop leaning on the wall and it fell over with a loud crash, i dropped the bucket out of shock and it splashed all over me.

"what the fuck!" noah exclaims from the room, he turns on the light and the two boys emerge

"fuck that backfired didn't it." i chuckle and shake my hands. 

"good one millicent, what even happened?" finn sarcastically claps.

"thank you finnegan, some of my best work i think." i smile. "anyways i came down here for a smoke, got scared because i thought finn was in my room, tried to splash you, knocked the mop, got scared again and now i'm covered in water, also psa, next time make out at your own houses." i flick water at them and laugh.

"yeah aight, noah laughs."

5th period the next afternoon i finally got caught up with sadie, i grabbed her hand when she was walking down the hall, after a lot of thinking i was gonna take  finn's advice and ask her out, it's a 50/50 chance so i'm saying fuck it.

"hey mills." she turns around and smiles.

"hey uh sades, can i talk to you? i awkwardly tuck my hair behind my ear.

"yeah what's u-" before she can end the sentence i cut her off.

"not here." i smile and drag her out of the crowded hallway to the back of the school.

"now may i ask what's up." she lightly giggles.

"yes, okay um." i could feel my cheeks glowing "i uh, think you're um really cool and i was um..." i clear my throat, "i was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me sometime." i look down at my feet.

"seriously?" sadie says in disbelief, i couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"yes, seriously. i know it's fast but i do really like you and i do really wanna get to know you better." i sigh

"okay, i'd love to!" she beams, my heart was beating so fast i could hear it in my ears. she caresses my face with her hand i grab her hand and she smiles slightly, then the fucking bell rings.

"i've gotta go to class, i'll see you this afternoon." she says and takes her hand off my cheeks which is still held in my hand.

"okay i'll see you later." i say and she walks as far as she can until i let go of her hand.

i walked her home, when we walked up her driveway i saw a man getting off his bike, a man who was quite tall, had red hair and a beard and was covered almost head to toe in tattoos, this was sadies dad.

"hey squirt." he says as he hugs sadie from the side, he gives her a look and she nods slightly. "you must be the famous millie, i'm rob. lovely to meet you." he says, he didn't know whether to go for a handshake or a hug so i gave him a hug.

"would you like to stay for dinner? i'm gonna make chicken burgers." rob offers, my mum wants me to babysit ava tonight.

"oh i'd love too but my mums expecting me back at home, rain check?" i ask

"anytime, anyways i'm gonna head inside, it's lovely to finally get to meet you millie, hopefully i'll see you again soon." rob waves and pulls down the garage door.

"your dad seems incredible sades." i chuckle.

"ehh he goes alright." sadie faces me and grabs my hands.

"so uh, about that date? what are you doing saturday?" i ask and swing our hands back and forth.

"it's hawkins millie, absolutely fucking nothing." she laughs.

"okay saturday is good, i'm not sure exactly what we're gonna do yet, but i just wanna spend time with you." she blushes.

"definitely, i'll see you in the morning?" she smiles.

"you know it." i say quietly and let go of our hands.

"nanite sades." i say as i walk off

"nanite mills."
