Rae woke first. Her black hair flowing all over her pillow, and down past her shoulders. As she fluttered open her eyes, she rubbed them gently, before turning her head to see her boyfriend, Finn, still in a deep slumber. Smiling to herself, she made a mental note not to make any sudden movements. She gently bit her bottom lip, watching Finn's chest heave in and out slowly and softly. He looked so peaceful, and she thought it made him look ten times hotter. She wished she had her camera out, so she could snap a memorable photograph of this moment. Finn was lying in a weird position - half on his side, and half on his back. The arm that was attached to the shoulder that he was lying on was draped over Rae's stomach. Her eyes slowly travelled down to his hand, wondering if he'd wake up, if she held it. She checked the time - 9:48am. Okay, so it was safe for him to wake up. Lifting her hand, Rae softly entwined their fingers together, and straight away, she felt Finn's fingers curl over hers.

*RAE'S POV*
Dear Diary, when Finn opened his eyes this morning, and looked right at me - I felt as if I was in heaven. He looks so fucking fit-no. He looks handsome. He looks like a drop-dead hunk! The way his heavy eyes opened up and stared at me. The way his smile was relaxed, because he was tired. It was the best way to wake up - ever! As he opened his eyes, he used his free hand to rub them,
"Morning." He mumbled, sleepily.
"Good morning." I replied quietly.
He ran his hand through his hair, and then he reached over and stroked my cheek softly,
"How did you sleep?"
A smile instantly appeared on my lips from his touch and I nodded,
"I slept good. You?"
Finn's smile widened, and I had no idea why,
"I slept great." He replied.

After climbing out of bed and changing into some clothes, Finn and I made our way downstairs. Turning on some music from my (awesome) CD collection, we turned it up loud and began to make breakfast. Turning on the kettle, I got out two mugs. Finn was right beside me, sliding a mug in front of him, and he poured a teaspoon of coffee granules into the mug. I glanced at him and I caught his eye, making us both smile. After he poured another teaspoon of coffee granules into the mug, he then took out his packet of cigarettes from his back jeans pocket, and he lit one up, and then he took it out of his mouth, blowing out the puff of smoke. I poured the boiling water into the mugs and then I stirred them. Finn closed the fridge door, coming right behind me, and he rested his chin gently on my shoulder and poured some milk into both mugs. I smiled at the embrace, stirring the milk into the coffee. After he finished, he turned his head and kissed my cheek softly, before stepping back, and putting the milk away.

Sitting down on the sofa, Finn laid his legs over mine, as we sipped our coffees. I couldn't help but feel a sudden comfort, whenever he touched me. There was a count of silence, and then I heard "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo playing. I lowered my mug from my lips, looking at Finn,
"You've got to be fucking kidding me!" I proclaimed, before sighing and shaking my head.
Finn grinned his typical breathtaking smile at me,
"What?" He asked innocently.
"You can't seriously like this shit!" I complained, furrowing my eyebrows together, as I watched him.
Finn took a sip of his coffee, hiding the smile that he currently had plastered on his face. I scoffed at him,
"If you don't like it, then why do you keep playing it?!" I exclaimed, turning my body to face him.
Leaning forward and carefully placing his mug onto the carpet by his feet, Finn then sat back up and leaned back into my sofa,
"This song..." He trailed off. I raised my eyebrows at him, motioning for him to continue. "It's our song." He mumbled. He sounded shy, and a little embarrassed.
I bit my lip, smiling at him, as I stared at him in awe. This was the sweetest thing that he's ever said to me; -apart from 'I love you', but this was actually out loud-.
"Finn..."
He smiled shyly at me, and he shook his head,
"There's a fire between us." He sung softly.

*FINN'S POV*
Rae's smile widened and she blushed softly, looking down at her hands. Sitting up properly, I moved close beside her, and her gaze slowly lifted to me,
"See my girl
She shivers in her bones
The sun and zenith rising
Trying to take us all
There's a fire between us." I carried on singing.
I watched her, and smiled to myself, watching her face turn red. I found myself, running my fingertips down her spine slowly, and I watched her face turn to me, a smile forming on her lips. I sighed, hearing Rae's house phone ring. Shooting me an apologetic look, she rose to her feet, and then she answered the phone.
"Hello?" She paused to listened to the conversation. "Oh, hey, Chop. Yeah, he's here why? … Uh, do you wanna talk to him?" Pausing once again, she turned to me and smiled small at me, holding out the phone to me. Standing up, I walked over to Rae, kissing her cheek softly, and then I took the phone,
"Yo."
"Finn, man! Where the fuck have you been?"
Furrowing my eyebrows slightly, I glanced at Rae, whom was standing beside me,
"What do you mean?"
"I've just been to your house! Where the fuck are you?"
"I'm at Rae's." Looking at Rae, I smiled at her, and she returned the smile softly.
"Mate, it's 10o'clock in the morning!" I checked the time – 10:45am. "Talk about eager, mate. You got it bad, eh?"
I rolled my eyes and smiled at Chop's comment,
"I actually stayed the night."
I looked at Rae once again from the corner of my eye, and I saw her eyes widen slightly, as her cheeks flushed a deep pink colour. Smiling to myself, I looked down at my feet.
"You did what?! You and Raemundo did the dirty last night? Mate, that is-"
"No." I shook my head. Why did he always have to resort to that? I thought to myself. "No, we didn't do that." I let out a soft sigh, and Chop must've heard this,
"Alright, sorry mate. So you two an item now?"
I smiled to myself, lifting my gaze to her chocolate brown orbs and nodded,
"Yeah we are."
"Well it's about fucking time!" He proclaimed down the line.
Laughing softly, I shook my head and so did Rae. He was that loud, she could even hear him. Rolling my eyes,
"What do you mean, it's about time?"
"Well, I think everyone was waiting for it to fucking happen! You two are like-you sorta-y'know-fit!"
Smiling at Rae, I nodded at his comment,
"Yeah, I do know."
"Don't fuck it up, Finn man."
"Oh thanks for the vote of confidence, Chop Meister!" I laughed down the line.
"You know what I mean! Stick with my Rae, alright? And by the way, come down to the pub at lunch, yeah? Celebration drinks!"
"Alright, sounds cool."
Rae walked away from my side, and even though I knew that she was picking up our mugs, I felt a hint of disappointment. I hated Chop for ruining our moment.
"Hey, is it true that Rae's mum is away? Cause I was thinking-"
I shook my head, hanging up the call, and I walked into the kitchen where Rae was, and I took hold of her hand. She looked at me, and smiled, her face filled with questions.
"Come on." I told her softly, walking out of the kitchen, through the hallway, and upstairs into her room. Closing the door behind us both, I walked her over to her bed, sitting her down, and then I walked over to one of my bags. Crouching down in front of it, I opened the front pocket, and got out a mix tape. Standing up, I took a deep breath, and I walked back over to Rae, sitting down beside her,
"Here." I told her, holding out my hand.
I watched her eyes slowly travel down to my hand, and she smiled seeing the cassette take in my hand,
"Finn. You didn't have to."
I smiled and nodded,
"I know."
Leaning close to her face, I pecked her lips softly,
"I made this before we went to Knebworth. It has all the songs that remind me of you." Looking down at the cassette tape, I smiled to myself. "I-I didn't dare give it to you straight away. But then you decided to go with Chloe, so…"
Holding my hand, she squeezed it gently,
"I love it."
Looking up at Rae, I smiled at her, my eyes filled with hope,
"Y-You do?"
She nodded and leaned into me,
"Of course I do, you sappy sod."
Rolling my eyes, I smiled and wrapped my arm around her shoulders, when she leaned into me. kissing her forehead softly, I watched her smile and then I looked down at the cassette tape,
"Wanna hear it?"
Rae nodded enthusiastically, and I chuckled softly, unwrapping my arms from around her shoulders and I stood up. Walking over to her cassette player, I put it in and pressed play, the Oasis song "Wonderwall" playing. I looked over at her nervously, her eyes on me, and she smiled bigger at me,
"You're sweet." She admitted.
Blushing slightly, I let out a laugh, and sat back down beside her again, and then I shrugged slightly,
"Well, at least you know how I feel, yeah?"
Rae looked at me and nodded,
"Yeah."

"Eyup! Here's the happy couple!" Chop hollered, as Rae and I walked into the pub, and then over to the group.
Rolling my eyes, I sat down opposite him, Rae taking a seat beside me,
"Who? You and Izzy?" I smirked at him, raising my eyebrows at him.
Chop looked at Izzy, wrapping his arm around her shoulders,
"I ain't afraid to show my feelings, Finn, my son!"
I rolled my eyes again and I smiled,
"Neither am I."

*RAE'S POV*
We were sitting in the pub, supping beers, chatting, laughing and messing around. Every once in a while, I'd glance down to my thigh, and notice that Finn was writing little messages to me: I MISS BEING ALONE WITH YOU. was the latest one. And that one made me smile like an idiot. Biting my bottom lip, I let out a soft, happy sigh, and then I heard my name being called, jumping me back to reality,
"Rae!" Chloe exclaimed.
"Wh-what?"
"Girls' bathroom – now."
Nodding, I looked at Finn and smiled at him, whom was watching me. My heart was melting at the way he looked at me. Smiling back at me in return, me, Chloe and Izzy walked into the girls' bathroom.
"Well?" Chloe prompted at me.
I raised my eyebrows at her,
"Well…?
"What happened with you and Finn last night?!" She squealed. "Chop said that he stopped the night."
I blushed softly and shrugged slightly,
"Nothing. We just slept."
Izzy scoffed,
"Yeah, right."
Chloe laughed at Izzy, and then she looked at me, and her face fell,
"Wait, you're serious?"
I nodded,
"Yeah why?"
"I-It's Finn! He doesn't wait around for you to be ready! You're either ready or not."
Izzy nodded in agreement,
"You must be special, Rae." She smiled.
Looking over at the ginger haired teen, I smiled back at her,
"Mm must be."

*FINN'S POV*
"Alright c'mon then." Chop said, getting both Archie's attention and mine. "What's going on with you and Rae?"
I rolled my eyes, smiling instantly at her name, and then I looked at Archie,
"Ain't it obvious? We're together."
"Yeah, we get that. But, you really didn't sleep together last night?" Chop raised his eyebrows at me.
I shook my head,
"No like I said." Sliding a cigarette out of my pocket, I picked up the lighter from the middle of table, and I lit the end of it, taking a puff. The boys were still staring at me, and I sighed,
"I love her. Alright?"
"You love?" Archie asked.
I looked at him and I nodded,
"Yeah."
"We're happy for you, Finny boy!"
I rolled my eyes and smiled.
The girls sat back down, and instantly, my gaze turned to Rae. She looked at me,
"You alright?" I mouthed to her.
She smiled and nodded, making me smile back at her. Glancing around the table, I noticed that the only person's attention we were getting, was Chloe's. But when Archie made a conversation with her, I took it as my chance. Smirking to myself, I placed my finger softly on her thigh, and I wrote: YOU WANNA GET OUT OF HERE? To my surprise, Rae lifted her finger, and she wrote on my leg: YES. Looking up at her, I smirked to myself again, and then I looked at the table, clearing my throat,
"We're gonna head off." I nodded at Chop, and then I gave Archie a high-five. The boys said goodbye, and the girls said goodbye to Rae. I could feel their gazes on us, as Rae rose to her feet. I held out my hand for her to take, and then we walked out of the pub,
"Thank god." I breathed out, throwing my cigarette onto the floor as we walked.
"Didn't feel up to it?" Rae asked, looking at me.
I smiled at her,
"Was sick of the questions." I admitted.
She laughed slightly,
"I know what you mean."
"Mm. Where to now?"
"Chippy?" She asked.
