Finn stared at her. He hated himself already. He knew she wasn't going to let it go, and he knew he was going to have to tell her. He sighed,
"Look, Rae—"
"No pussy-footin' around it, Finn. Tell me." She demanded.
"Some guys were takin' the piss." He shrugged, trying to brush it off.
"'Bout wha'?"
"Nought." He mumbled.
Rae caught on and she sighed,
"About me?"
He looked up at her, and he didn't have to say anything. Rae pressed her lips together into a line, and then she let out a laugh,
"Come on. say it." She told him. "Wha' wa' it? Beached whale? Fat cow? Big, fat—"
"That's enough, Rae!" Finn snapped at her, causing Rae to jump.
The two took a deep breath, and then Finn looked down at his hands,
"Ah don't wanna say wha' wa' said, Rae. But they definitely won't be sayin' ought again." He promised.
Rae nodded silently, still shocked by his outburst.
Finn sighed to himself, and he held her hands, and he pulled her into her, kissing her lips softly once,
"Baby, I'm sorry for shoutin' at ya." He mumbled.
Rae smiled small at him,
"Thanks for defendin' me, Finn." Rae whispered.
He smiled at her, and he wrapped his arms around her waist,
"We need t' get back t' school." He sighed.
Rae nodded in agreement, and Finn led her out of the record shop.
Rae walked into the pub, and she looked around, spotting Chloe at the bar. Deciding to go to their table, she walked over and sat down, seeing Chop and Izzy talking.
"Hiya, Rae!" Izzy beamed.
She smiled at her,
"'Iya, Iz. Y'alright?"
"Yeah, ah'm good, thanks!"
"Eyup, Raemundo!" Chop grinned at her.
As Chloe sat down, she and Izzy started talking and then Chop leaned in,
"Everythin' alright?" He murmured in her ear.
Rae looked at him, and she smiled nodding,
"Yeah." She replied.
He nudged her, and then joined in Izzy and Chloe's conversation. Rae looked around the room, looking for Finn. Where was he? She asked herself.
"Hey, Chop?" He looked over at her, taking a sip of his pint. "Where's Finn an' Arch?"
He shrugged,
"No idea, Raemundo!"
There was a look on his face, and Rae wondered what the hidden meaning was.
"Okay, so listen up! We have a surprise for you all tonight!"
Rae's eyes peeled away from Chop, and she looked at the stage.
Two boys walked onto the stage, and her eyes widened in shock.
"Fuck." She said out loud.
Archie and Finn sat down on the stools, in front of the microphones; with guitars in their hands. Rae's head turned to Chop, whose eyes were on her; a goofy grin plastered on his face. Her eyes were wide, as she looked back at Finn; his eyes down on his guitar. She could see the nerves in his face, and his leg was bouncing slightly.
"Uh, hi." Archie mumbled, letting out a nervous laugh. "Finn 'ere wanted t' do a song, so... Enjoy. 'E's a little nervous, so be nice."
Finn looked up at him, and the two started playing their guitars.
Rae's mouth dropped open, as they started playing Wonderwall. Her heart started racing, and Finn looked over at her; looking into her eyes.
"Rae, this is for you." He murmured into the mic.
"Aweeeee!" Both Izzy and Chloe gushed, looking over at Rae, and they grinned.
"Today is gonna be the day,
That they're gonna throw it back to you." Finn sang into the microphone, his eyes glued to Rae's. He glanced down, looking at his guitar, and then he looked back into Rae's eyes, as he continued to sing,
"By now you should've somehow,
Realized what you gotta do.
I don't believe that anybody,
Feels the way I do about you now."
*RAE'S POV*
My eyes filled with tears, as I listened Finn sing Wonderwall. After what he told me earlier on, about those lads, I was feeling pretty shitty, and I was happy that I was here. In this moment. Listening to the fittest boy in Lincolnshire sing a song, that he dedicated to me! I was fucking buzzing! I was on a higher cloud, than cloud nine! I could see that Finn's cheeks were slightly red. He was feeling slightly embarrassed. But the way his eyes bored into mine, I could tell that he didn't mind.
When the song finished, I stood up and Finn made his way off the stage, as the crowd clapped. Archie thanked the crowd, before he walked of the stage, and Finn walked over to me.
"What did y' think?" Finn asked, his eyes searching mine.
I sniffed,
"Ah loved it." I admitted, kissing his lips softy once.
"WAY! Go on, Finny Boy!" Chop hollered.
The rest of us laughed, and I felt Finn write across my back. M-I-N-E-?
I looked at Finn, and I smiled nodding.
"Right, guys. We're off." Finn told the rest of the gang.
"What?" Chloe said, looking up at us.
"Y' better be fuckin' joking, Finny Boy!" Chop joined in.
Finn put his guitar into its case, and after slinging it over his shoulder, he held my hand,
"Sorry. See y' later." He told them, before he took my hand, and we headed towards the pub doors.
I heard Chop wolf whistle,
"Ah, I get it! Have fun, kids!"
The rest of the gang laughed, and I could feel my cheeks burning, as we walked out of the pub.
We walked in silence. Neither of us knowing what to say to the other. After a few minutes, I finally broke the silence,
"Ah really enjoyed your song." I told him, looking over at Finn.
He smiled sheepishly at me,
"Thanks." He replied.
I smiled back at him,
"Seriously, Finn. Y' made me day."
Finn shrugged slightly,
"It's me job."
*FINN'S POV*
Arriving back at mine, I was relieved that my mum and dad were out. Rushing upstairs with Rae, we went into my room, and I closed the door behind us. Pulling the guitar off from over my shoulder, Rae and I then pulled off our jackets, and we looked at each other. I moved closer to her, cupping her face, and I kissed her deeply. Rae grabbed my arms, kissing me back, and the two of he smiled into the kiss. I pulled out of the kiss; our lips still touching,
"I fuckin' love you." I whispered against her lips.
"I love y', too." Rae whispered back.
I smiled and I stroked her cheek,
"You're perfect." I whispered.
Rae blushed and she smiled small at him.
"Make love to me." I whispered against her lips.
Rae stared at me. She was shocked at my choice of words. Without answering, Rae leaned in, kissing me passionately.
We laid under the covers, my arms wrapped around Rae's waist. Her back was pressed against my chest, and I stroked her arm softly.
"Well," I let out a breathless laugh, "that was something."
Rae nodded, and I could see her smile to herself.
I kissed her bare shoulder,
"Did y' like me surprise then?" I murmured.
Rae nodded,
"Loved it." She admitted, and she looked at me. "Thanks, Finn. It really cheered me up after today."
I smiled at her,
"You're too beautiful to be sad."
Rae's face turned red,
"You bastard." She mumbled, making me laugh.
After a few seconds, Rae sighed in contentment,
"Wish we could stay like this forever." Rae admitted.
"Me too." I admitted with a smile.
