'Rey?' Finn looked at his friend as they walked towards their quarters, a playful smile crossing his lips. 'You know I love you, right?'
'I love you too.' Rey replied with ease.
'You can be an idiot though!' He added. That stopped her in her tracks. She knew whatever was coming had something to do with Poe. 'I didn't mean to be rude,' she started a pre-emptive apology, 'it's just that he always seems to appear...' she added on a whine.
'It's because he likes you Rey!' Finn interrupted before she could continue.
'Sorry?' It sounded more like a squeak.
'Poe. Likes. You.' Finn repeated with a big grin on his face.
'Why?' Rey felt perplexed, she really hadn't seen this coming. She started to walk again, as if that would stop the conversation.
'Seriously, you're going to make me list the reasons?' Finn was having too much fun. 'You're brave, intelligent, fun to be with and not bad looking.' He finished off, looking her up and down.
'But he barely knows me!' She was in denial.
'He's trying to get to know you Rey...' His hand gestures left little to the imagination.
'Oh.'
'Oh?!' Finn was now laughing, 'that's not the response I was expecting.'
'Erm...' Rey didn't know what to say. Maybe she was an idiot.
'Poe's brave, intelligent, fun to be with… and funny looking… basically he's you but a different sex.' Finn definitely liked being a matchmaker.
'OK? So why don't you date him?' Rey barked back. She did love her friend but she wasn't looking for a date… at least not with Poe.
'He's not interested in me. He's interested in you.' Finn took her hand. 'Give him a chance. He's a good guy.'
'Finn…' Rey looked at her friend with pleading eyes. 'I don't want to date Poe.'
'You want to date me?' Finn fired back, not missing a beat.
'I don't want to date anyone!' She swatted his arm.
'Liar…' Finn teased; they'd reached her quarters, 'Have a drink with him. You might be surprised.'
