"hey, we're about to close, you guys should leave soon." the cashier told the two who were still digging through the many rows of vinyl records. it had gotten to one forty-five p.m., and the store closed at two p.m.
millie frowned, disappointed that her joy had to end. finn took notice of this and strode over to the teenage male who worked there. they both smiled.
"jack, we're friends, can't we just stay here a little longer?" finn asked the worker, almost pleading.
"finn," he said weakly, "you know the rules." finn nodded.
"okay, then can we have the back room? you always let people in there even after closing." finn begged, trying to get his friend to allow it.
the back room was incredible. the walls were painted with a pink and black floral pattern, and there were huge bean bags in every corner. the only lighting in the room was some white string lights that were strung at the top of all of the walls. the floor was checkered with white and black, but there was not very much of the floor visible, because of the piles of pillows. there were some record players along the walls as well.
it was basically the best place to chill and listen to music and read. not many people knew about this room, it being off limits to the public.
"i know i let some people back there, but i'm not supposed to." jack said, and finn started to give up. "but, for you and... your girlfriend? i'll allow it."
finn grinned in thanks to jack for letting them go to the back room.
finn grabbed a confused millie's hand and led her to the black wooden door behind the counter. jack smirked at the two.
"oh, and one more thing finn: make sure to lock the door and keep the noises to a low volume." jack shouted, earning a, "fuck off!" from finn.
when they arrived in the beautiful room, millie immediately smiled, staring in awe at the details around her. finn stood beside her, setting the 1975 vinyl down to lean against the wall by the door. he released her hand a walked over to the record player and soon, the familiar introduction to the way you look tonight by frank sinatra filled the small area.
finn started to move to the music, as did millie. they started dancing towards eachother, moving their legs and swinging their arms and snapping their fingers. millie's short hair moved with every swaying move she made, making her look like an angel to finn.
there was just enough light in the room for them to see eachother clearly, but not too much. the mood was overall relaxing and free feeling for both of them. the music kept a steady beat as they reached eachother, their hands clasping eachothers.
finn placed his pale hands on millie's small waist, his hands resting on her hips. millie place her hands on finn's shoulders, her fingers reaching around the back of his neck. they both received pink cheeks at the contact between them, but they didn't notice.
millie stared into finn's eyes, and he stared into hers. they gave shy smiles. the song, which had gotten almost halfway done, continued to play in the background. the pair swayed gently, eyes gleaming like stars in the poorly lit room.
"you know, i always loved this song. now i just love it more because i get to share it with you." finn said, keeping their bodies close.
"oh do you now?" millie questioned him with a sly grin on her face.
"yeah, i used to dance around the playground while humming the tune, then i met you, and then after that, i wasn't allowed at the park anymore. my mother used to tell me that i shouldn't be outside alone so much." finn explained. millie nodded.
"i remember i went to the park everyday for the next month in hopes that i would see you again. i gave up after that." she laughed, revisiting the painful memory of losing a friend. "i never saw you again after that. until the middle of eighth grade, when we have to do a partner project for language arts. you looked so much different."
"like, a good different?" finn asked.
"sure, whatever floats your boat."
"i never thanked you for doing that whole project by yourself. i was a conceited douche bag to everyone, especially you." finn told millie, an apologetic nature to his voice.
"it's fine, what's important is that we're here now, i need to forget the past." millie said as they continued dancing to the music, the next song on the vinyl starting to play.
the beginning of the next song began to play, starting with the violin intro. the deep voice sang, "i will be loving you, always. with a love that's true, always."
this was one of millie's favorite songs, so she eagerly looked at finn. he twirled her around, still touching hands, before wrapping her back to him.
finn looked at millie with a sudden want. his eyes flickered from her lush lips and back to her eyes. millie stopped smiling, and instead gazed back at finn the way he did unto her.
they halted the dancing, and the music seemed to fade to a minimum sound. millie could only hear her own heavy breaths, her heart raced at the sudden closeness of them. their bodies already touched, the space between their faces being the only gap.
millie's arms were wrapped around finn's neck, drawing their faces closer together. finn still had his hands placed on her waist, holding her body against his.
finn was the one who eventually got tired of just standing there, so he quickly pushed his lips onto hers. her eyes widened, even though she knew it was going to happen at some point. she melted into the kiss, closing her eyes.
they both pulled away before kissing again, taking a breath. after being denied access, finn lowered his hands to millie's ass, causing her to gasp which acted as a chance for finn to push his tongue into her mouth.
after sloppily kissing, finn said one word. one word that startled millie.
"jump."
millie jumped up, using finn's broad shoulders to lift herself up. finn swiftly clutched the back of millie's thighs, holding onto them tightly.
the pair continued moving their mouths against each other's as finn backed both of them up, to where millie's back was pressed against the cool feeling wall.
finn broke the kiss, only to go straight for millie's warm neck. he made delicate movements, but lasting effects as he sucked on the smooth skin. millie gasped at the new feeling, barely able to collect her thoughts before she felt their lips together again.
millie couldn't help but let out a small moan, which finn heard through their heavy inhales and exhales. he smirked against her lips, becoming insane for millie.
minutes later, they pulled away from eachother, smiling shyly at one another.
