Readers, In this chapter, Finn will pull a "Nate Diaz" Readers who've read "Mayhem In Stockton" Will know what that means.

"John-Paul is a drug

McQueen is a demon Finn can't scare off,

It's like Finn's stuck,

He's sick of touching John-Paul in his mind"

John-Paul knew what people would think. Even the lovely, caring Sam Lomax would give him a telling off. Having fun at first, then getting serious with a happily married man. Then going on a date with a lad he barely knew, and a student at that. But when Alex Texted him about meeting up, John-Paul didn't turn him down. Nana McQueen over heard part of her Grand-son's conversation when she came downstairs in the morning.

"It's only one drink, mate….no, meeting my family is far too soon…." John-Paul said. Nana McQueen walked over to her Grandson and snatched his phone.

"Hiya love. Are you John-Paul's fella? Oh, that's nice, yeah…..well I'm his Nana. The McQueen family is having a get together…you wanna come? I'm cooking from scratch. Oh that's great love, and wear something fancy and bring a nice pricey little gift" Nana McQueen said. John-Paul gently took the phone away.

"Nana!...Alex…she's joking, you don't have come" John-Paul said.

"If your beautiful "Nana" is giving me an invite, how can I refuse?" Alex said. They arranged to have a drink first before going to the McQueen's dinner. As soon as Phoebe found out the McQueen's were having a get together, she wanted Finn to come along as well.

"Phoebe...I'm sorry...but...No. How would that look? Finn's my student" John-Paul said.

"So? Finn's my boyfriend" Phoebe said. John-Paul McQueen felt sick. The weight that was lifted off of Phoebe's shoulders landed in John-Paul's throat. He couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Phoebe didn't you already help Finn out at the mental hospital?" John-Paul said.

"Yeah but that weren't a proper date. It's not fair, if your lad came for tea and Finn can't. That's gender discrimination that is" Phoebe said.

"Did you just Google that?" John-Paul asked. "It's not discrimination Phoebe. As a teacher I need to set boundaries" John-Paul said.

John-Paul's statement didn't change Phoebe's mind. When Phoebe and Nana McQueen were alone, Nana McQueen agreed to let Finn come with her. Phoebe had no problem pulling Finn to one side at school.

"Pheb..don't...Robbie could be around" Finn said looking around and closing the door behind them.

"Just one sec…I wanna ask you to dinner" Phoebe said.

"At yours?" Finn asked.

"Nah in Trevor's club basement. Course at mine" Phoebe said.

"Just me you, DVD's and a take-out…..cool" Finn said with a nod.

"Well…it's kind of a family thing. Nana's gonna be ordering take away and saying that she made it" Phoebe said.

"Pheb, we'd get no privacy" Finn said.

"I want you there Finn. John-Paul's got his new fella and it's only fair that I bring you too" Phoebe said.

New fella? Finn thought.

Finn figured that Phoebe was joking. Finn only knew about Danny. John-Paul had no-one else. If John-Paul was seeing a New lad, Finn would be the first to know. It would be obvious. Still, with Tony and his catering jobs, Finn was still acting like Tony's slave as his Mum's punishment. Finn still thought the "Lad" Phoebe was talking about was Danny. Maybe Phoebe had called Danny a "New Fella" to get back at Mr McQueen.

Finn agreed to go, to put his mind at ease.

John-Paul pulled out the blue shirt in the wardrobe. He'd hadn't worn it for a while. He tried it on. It still fit, and looked good. He put a grey fleece on and met Alex at the dog for a drink, while Nana McQueen ordered the take away before any of the guests arrived. "Hi John-Paul, looking great…as usual" Alex said with a nod. "You're not so bad yourself" John-Paul said. John-Paul went to the counter, but Alex paid for the drinks with his Gold Debit Express card.

"Al, I can't let you pay, you're a guest here" John-Paul said.

"Your Nana's cooking from scratch, so the least I can do is treat her fit Grandson" Alex said. They sat down and Alex asked John-Paul who was coming to the dinner.

"Mercy will probably be out. But My Sister Carm's coming, and her fiancé Jim, My Nana of course, Phoebe and her…friend…Finn" John-Paul said. Alex noticed the way he said the lad's name and smiled.

"You don't like this "Finn" then?" Alex asked.

"Dislike is putting it mildly. Phoebe, my Niece, she's this amazing tough pretty, intelligent girl. She always has her head on straight. She doesn't really fall for lads, well not really. She can always see though people. But Phoebe can't see through this…Finn. He's not good enough for her" John-Paul said.

"You're her Uncle John-Paul. You would say that. You're on the outside looking in" Alex said.

"No Alex. I've been on the "inside" alright, and Phoebe needs to stay away Finn…trust me" John-Paul said. They moved onto talking about Alex's school work and John-Paul was really interested.

"So it's not stuffing lab rats with Diet pills then?" John-Paul asked.

"You're a tease John-Paul, don't stop, I like it" Alex said. Before Alex could think of a better chat-up line, Nana was texting John-Paul to come back to the house.

John-Paul was nervous, walking back to the house with Alex. Alex was posh, he lived in a big house, with PA's and cleaners. Nana McQueen had done a bit of cleaning. But John-Paul knew that he should have done a once over with the hoover. Maybe he should have dusted the table and chairs. John-Paul stepped into the house with Alex and was greeted by smiles, by everyone…

Well, almost everyone.

Finn took one look at the "New Lad" and felt like chucking him out the window. Finn felt like turning over the table and ramming the frilly tablecloth down John-Paul's throat. But he kept calm.

Maybe this lad was just a friend…..he had to be.

"So John-Paul, who's your new Gentle-men friend? I would say boyfriend but I don't want to be too Promiscuous" Carmel said.

"Sweet peach, you mean presumptuous" Jim said to her. Carmel patted Jim on the arm and nodded.

"Ahh….so you're the gorgeous young man that sweet-talked me on the phone. Ain't he lovely Carm? John-Paul's struck gold here" Nana McQueen said. "Phoebe do you wanna help me with the plates?" Nana asked. Finn jumped up.

"I'll help you Nana" He said.

"See John-Paul, Finn is dead helpful" Phoebe said with a smile. The take-away was in thin plastic bags. Finn took the containers of Chinese food out and knew what plates he wanted to serve.

"So Nana…..your John-Paul kept his New lad quiet" Finn said.

"It might be weird cause he's your teacher love. But he's very secretive Our John-Paul. A little man of mystery. He's a got fittie now. Yeah, get the Pork Balls and the Chow Mein out" Nana said.

"I'll do the lad's food Nana, save you the work eh?" Finn said.

"Aren't you a Sweetheart?" Nana said dishing the Chinese food on plates for Carmel, Phoebe and herself. When Finn found himself alone in the Kitchen, Finn got John-Paul's and Alex's food ready.

He quickly checked that Nana was still in the living room.

"Oh Alex you're studying Science! Amazing love. Where did you meet our John-Paul?" Nana was saying.

Then he walked back into the kitchen and spat in John-Paul's food. Then he spat in Alex's food. Then Finn did the same with Jim's plate.

He didn't touch Phoebe's food. Nana's was preparing it. Even if Finn had to serve Phoebe's food. He wouldn't have touched it. He liked her, and Phoebe didn't need teaching a lesson. But John-Paul was taking the piss. John-Paul was rubbing a new fling in Finn's face yet again, and Finn had to do something about it….. yet again.

He grabbed a clean fork and twirled the food around on every plate, so that it looked normal. He gave Nana McQueen John-Paul's plate. "Thanks love" Nana McQueen said handing it out to her Grandson.

Finn handed out Jim's Alex's and Carmel's food without a fuss. Now it was just a waiting game, waiting to see who would take the first bite of their food first. Finn smiled as Alex dug into his Chicken Chow Mein, with his fork.

John-Paul and his rich tart made Finn want to throw up. But seeing those snobby lying Fags, eating Nana's Chinese was a bonus. As everyone was eating, Finn then smiled at Phoebe. For the first time tonight, he was enjoying himself.
