A/N) I have returned with part 2! I won't talk too much, so you all can get back to it.

So, without further adieu, part 2! (Hey, that rhymed)

A Finh story (part two)

I can't believe it.

Keefe won.

So that meant i should be the one to end up with Fitz, right?

Wrong.

Or, that's how it seemed as i stormed out of his room.

I was only trying to help! I could see the hurt in his eyes when he had told us about Keefe and Sophie. And, i thought i would be happy to hear that i finally had a chance, but if he was sad, then it automatically made me sad. So, after giving him some time, i went to Everglen this afternoon, to see if i could help with anything. But, it drove down to an unexpected turn-out.

"I'm crying over Sophie. I'm sad. I need comfort. And you just happen to be the one to come and give it to me? So you can what? Tell me to move on in your perfect little gentle way and somehow sneak in a kiss, getting me to fall completely for you? Is that what your trying to do? You sneaky little-"

"Fitz!" i screamed. How could he say all those things!? Tears were streaming down my face. "How could you say that?!"

I was so angry, i didn't even realize how loud i was being.

"I'm here because i care about you!" I told him. "I was worried! Genuinely worried. You're just too stubborn to see it!"

He stood there for a moment, and i waited to see what he would do. "I-I . . . "

"You know, Sophie isn't the only girl in the world. There are dozens of girls who would wanna be with you! And . . . and you know what?" I was breathing so hard by now, wondering if i would actually admit it.

He remained silent, letting me continue.

"I was one of them!"

There.

I said it.

I finally said how i felt. But now, it might be too late for him. He was too hung up on Sophie.

"Linh, I-"

"Don't," I told him. "I get why you're mad and sad and stuff. I do. But if you're gonna stay hung up on Sophie forever, I'm not gonna wait. I've waited long enough for you to finally notice me the way you notice her, but it just hasn't happened. So don't expect me to wait forever." And i meant it. For added effect, i stormed out of the room.

I was on my way outside to leap home, furiously wiping my tears away. I was relieved to find that i didn't run into any of the other Vackers, and i made my way out the front door. I held my home crystal up to the sun and was about to step into the path of light, when someone's hand grabbed my wrist.

"Linh, wait!" i heard Fitz's voice beg. I froze.

"What?" i said through clenched teeth. I probably sounded harsher than i meant to.

"I . . . I . . ."

I yanked my wrist out of his hand and spun around, throwing my crystal onto the grass in frustration. "Fitz, i don't have time for this! If you have something to say, say it-"

But he didn't need to say anything. He didn't even let me say anything. Because, much to my surprise, he . . . he . . . was kissing me. I knew i should push away, but my lips just seemed to melt into his. Yet, all to soon, he broke away.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, shaking his head. "I was being a jerk."

I nodded and let out a bittersweet laugh. "Yeah, you were."

He leaned his forehead against mine. "Can we . . . can you give me a chance? I'm over Sophie, or, i-i will be, i guess. Gah, i don't know what to say-"

I cut him off by leaning up and kissing him. When i pulled back, i saw his beautiful teal eyes widen with surprise. I smiled. "We can try."

He looked relieved as he nodded. "Thank you. And, again, I'm sorry."

I shook my head. "Stop apologizing. If you're really sorry then you would have been kissing me by now."

He smiled, right before leaning down and pressing his perfect, soft lips against mine. His hands moved up and cupped my face as i felt him take a step closer. Then they trailed down my arms and wrapped around my waist. My hands made their way up his chest and around his neck. I ran my fingers through his soft hair as i felt his fingers brush against the ends of my hair. Our lips parted but rejoined like magnets several times, and the butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. I felt tingles all over my body and my heart raced against my chest. It was by far the best feeling I've ever had. When we broke apart, our foreheads pressed against each other as we panted for breath, smiles on our faces.

"That was . . . wow," he said, making a giggle escape from my lips.

"You do realize that you've said 'wow' to me for almost everything i do, right?"

He stepped a little closer, his hands trailing up and down my back. "Well, that's because you deserve it," he told me, his voice low. My cheeks warmed up as i looked into his brilliant teal eyes. Not knowing what to say, i simply leaned up and kissed him again.

A/N) oof. You know what my greatest fear is? Cheesy romance. It makes me cringe. That's why I'm really hoping that this wasn't cheesy. Otherwise i would start dying inside. Sorry it was kinda short. Let me know what you all think in the reviews! On that note . . .

BYEEEEEEEEE!
