don't forget to R&R and F&F


I couldn't form a sentence I just stood there with my mouth open as I tried to wrap my head around the words he just said.

"You what?" I asked barely above a whisper

"I love you" he said taking a step towards me "I have for a long time it just taken me some time to realize it" he added

"Your right we should have talked in private" I said as I looked at all the people staring at us

"Then can we go do that please" he asked

I looked over at Finn and I could see the hurt in his eyes as he looked between the both of us "I should have known it was too good to be true" he said turning on his heel and walking off.

"Finn wait" I yelled running after him

I grabbed his arm and turned him to face me "Please don't feel like that these last few days have been the best of my life but I have to go to talk to him and air all of this out" I said "Please just understand that" I added

"Understand what? That the minute you walk into the room that he wins" Finn said as he pulled out of my hands and left

Lacey came and stood next to me and give me a small hug "You need to follow your heart and speak exactly what's on your mind" she said

"No regrets" I said

"None at all" she said

I walked to the room Leati went into and shut the door I stared at him for what seemed like forever.

"Can you say something please?" he asked "I just spilled my guts to you in front of our coworkers and you haven't said a word" he added

"What do you want me to say Leati?" I asked "Actually don't answer that because I know exactly what you want me to say and I'm not going to" I told him

"Let me ask you something, when did you realize you were in love with me? Was it the night Finn asked me out or was it when you found him in my apartment?" I said "No I bet it was when I kicked you out and told you to get of yourself and not to worry about who I date" I yelled

"Rose" he said

"No" I said "You wanted me to say something so I am. I can't believe how selfish you're being right now, I finally put myself out there and start to move on with my life and that's when you decide you and your wife are having problems and you're not happy" she said

"I'm not" he told me

"You're a liar" I yelled at him "it wasn't even a month ago you were talking to Dean about renewing your vowels and trying for another kid so don't give me that shit of you not being happy" I said on the verge of tears.


I dropped my head and looked at the ground I didn't know how to respond to what she was saying. When I played this moment in my head she ran and jumped in my arms and told me she loved me too. But now that she is spitting straight facts to me I feel like the world's largest jackass because I can see the hurt in her eyes.

"Rose, Your right I was saying those things a month ago but those feelings for you have always been there" I told her

"I can't do this Leati" she said crying "I just can't" she added

"What are you saying?" I asked

"I'm saying that I don't love you Leati and you don't love me" she said and let out a deep breath as if she was relived to finally say those words out loud.

"These last few days with Finn have made realize that I was in love with the idea of you with this fantasy that I built up in my head" she said

"How can you say that?" I asked

"Because it's the truth and you know it" she said

I wanted to believe that this was all an act that she was just saying these things just to make herself feel better but deep down in my gut I knew that wasn't the case that she meant every single word that left her lips.

"That's where your wrong" I told her "I'm in love with you Rose not the idea or the fantasy of you" I added "You want to know how I know that?" I asked

"Enlighten me" she said

"Because I left my wife for you" I told her


I knew I had a shocked look on my face but I need to let the words register in my head to make sure I heard him correctly.

"Why would you do that?" I asked

"Because I love you" he yelled "Damn how many times do I have to say it" he added

"You need to go home to your wife and work your problems out stop acting like your life with her is so miserable or that you don't love her because we both know the truth" I told him "We don't love each other and to be honest I think its best if we just keep our distance" I told him going to the door

"If you walk out that door you walk away from me from good and I won't be there when that fuck boy breaks your heart and does exactly what Orton did to you" he said

I won't lie that stung and made my heart break I never in a million years thought he say something like that to me.

"You better buy something pretty and get on your knees and beg your wife for forgiveness or you're going to end up alone" I told him "see you around" I added walking out of the door.

Once I closed it I felt this huge weight off my shoulders it was like finally admitting the truth out loud had set me free. No I didn't want to lose my best friend in the end but if this is what had to happen then so be it.

I walked to the men's locker room and knocked on it before leaning against the wall I watched as Finn opened the door and walked out shutting it behind him.

"Hi" I said testing the waters

"Hey" he said back

"Are you still my boyfriend?" I asked looking down

"That depends are you still my girlfriend?" he asked grabbing my chin

"I really hope so" I said to him

Finn smiled that megawatt smile at me and pulled me to his lips as I wrapped my arms around his neck Deeping the kiss.

"I want this with you Finn, I meant what I said the past few days this is the happiest I have been in a long time" I told him

"Me too" he said "Rose I promise I will show you every day that I have changed and that I'm not the same guy I use to be. I want to show you that I deserve you" he added

"Trust me Finn I already know what I have" I said kissing him
