I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S
Fin's Point of View-
My sister just went to bed and left us sitting on the couch. I was leaning back on Jeff and he had his arms around me. We sat there watching his television for hours and I listen to the heart beat in his chest. Hearing the beat was calming down and was making me want to sleep.
"You tired?" Jeff asked as he looked down at me. I looked up into his green eyes and gave him a smile.
"Yeah, I will see you in the morning sweetie." I said as I went to stand up.
"You can sleep in my bed with me, I don't want you to wake your sister up."
"Are you sure? What is everyone else going to think?"
"Screw what they think your sister will thank us later." Jeff said as he stood up and hung onto my hand, his fingers intervening with me. We walked upstairs to his bedroom, and he threw me one of his t-shirts and boxers for me to change into for pajamas so I don't have to wake my sister. I went into the bathroom that was connected to his bedroom, I changed into his clothes, and walked out into the bedroom holding my clothes to put them to the side. I walked out while he was already lying in the bed and the blanket was folded down for me to climb in. I set my clothes down on the floor next to the door, and climbed in under the blanket. I curled up next to him, and leaned my head back onto his chest. He wrapped his arms around me, I heard his heart beating again and slowly fell asleep in his arms. "Fin, wake up, it's morning." Jeff said moving his arm from beneath me.
"Good morning." I said rubbing my eyes and looked up at him, he had a big smile on his face. I leaned up and kissed him gently on the lips.
"What was that for?"
"I don't know, I just felt like it." I said rolling over. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to me. Laying there in his arms, I feel a little protected but not as much as I did when I was with Shannon. I broke free from his arms, walked out of the room with my clothes to change into today's clothing. Toes was already awake and down stairs talking to someone, I quickly changed into the clothing I had set out for today. As I opened the door, Jeff was standing there brushing his teeth smiling as much as he could. I just laughed at him and ruffled his green and purplish hair. I walked past him, and walked down the stairs carrying my socks and shoes.
"Hey, good morning, someone must have had a long night." Toes said jokingly.
"Ha Ha." I said as I looked over and noticed Gregory sitting on the couch. "Good morning Gregory."
"Good morning, you are going to wear that today?" He asked looking over my outfit.
"Yeah." I sat down next to him and started to put on my socks when I felt someone sitting down next to me and putting their arms around me. I looked up and saw that it was Jeff, he smiled showing his freshly brushed teeth. I giggled and went back to putting on my socks and shoes. Shannon and Matt walked in the front door.
"Does anybody knock these days?" Jeff asked getting up from the couch.
"We have a key, that's why." Shannon said. I stood up from the couch and grabbed Toes arm and dragged her onto the back porch.
"What's up?" Toes asked.
"You know how I rode home with Shannon yesterday?"
"Yeah, anything happen?"
"Yeah, we almost did….you know."
"Really? Almost, what do you mean almost?"
"I stopped him," I looked inside and seeing him staring back out at us smiling, "I mean I wanted to, but I don't know, my feelings are so mixed up right now. Last night lying in Jeff's arms and hearing his heart beat made me feel calm, and like he was protecting me. With Shannon, all I do is look in his eyes and I feel alone with just him, with just that eye contact he is protecting me."
"Don't know sis." Toes said shrugging heading towards that door.
"I kissed Jeff this morning, I felt something." I said as she stopped in her tracks.
"What?" She said as she turned around and looked at me in a question look.
"I had to, to see if I felt anything, maybe something that was different between his and Shannon's." I answered.
"I am going on tour this week with Gregory, maybe you should go with Jeff and have alone time with him, and when we get back, you can have alone time with Shannon see who you like more." Toes suggested.
"Okay. Only if Jeff asks me to do so" I said hugging her.
"You need to text Maddie and tell her about this chaos."
"If I don't tell her, I know Matt will." I jokingly said. She started laughing as we walked back into the house.
Their Point of View-
"Are we ready to move a car?" Shannon asked.
"Actually, your going to be sitting in the car steering it as we push it." Matt explained. Fin grabbed the keys from her purse and her wallet to put in her pocket.
"I am ready to go." Fin said walking outside as Toes followed by the guys. Fin unlocked the door for Shannon.
"Why do I have to steer it, why doesn't one of the girls do it?" Shannon said debating it.
"You're the smallest, get in and don't complain." Matt said slamming the door. Shannon rolled down the window so he could hear what they were saying. We all were groaning and grunting as we pushed the car to the local car shop, us being stupid, didn't have someone follow us with a regular working car. Jeff walked Toes and Fin into the shop and handed him the keys.
"It's a rental car, so take good care of it." Jeff said.
"What's wrong with the car today?" the mechanic asked.
"The battery is dead and the gas tank is cracked." Jeff said.
"Anything else?"
"Nothing that I know of." Jeff said. The mechanic continued writing down information, followed us out to the car to get a further look.
"With this type of car, we don't have the battery on hand nor a gas tank, it will be about 2 or 3 weeks until we can get it in." The mechanic said writing down numbers, we guessed what type of battery and/or tank he needed to order.
"Okay, thanks dude." Jeff said shaking the mechanic said. Toes and Fin followed Jeff back over to the other guys.
"How long is it going to be in the shop?" Shannon asked.
"At least for 2-3 weeks until the parts come in." Jeff said. We started walking down the street heading back to Jeff's place.
"I need to find a job to help pay for this." Fin said kicking a rock down the road.
"Why don't you come on tour with us?" Matt offered.
"What's that going to do?" Fin asked.
"Well, Toes is going with me trying to train more and try to get a job as a paramedic to get paid." Gregory said.
"Yeah, you can go on tour and get a job as a security guard. You can also train to be a diva with your sister." Shannon said pinching Fins elbow.
"Plus, you will be able to see Maddie in Washington, you know how long you haven't seen here." Jeff adding in as he kicked the same rock that Fin kicked earlier.
"Do it for me?" Toes said doing the pouty face.
"Ok, I will go, I guess." Fin said.
"When we get home, I will call Vince and set up the interview over the phone or for the next event." Jeff said.
"Are we going to have to pay for the flights?" Toes asked teasing around with Gregory pushing him and jumping on his back.
"No, it is free, we are allowed to bring one guest, so yeah, you are covered." Matt explained.
"When do you leave?" Fin asked before being picked up from behind from Jeff.
"Tomorrow night." Matt answered.
"What about our hotel room?" Toes asked being carried by Gregory.
"We will go check you out and get rest of your stuff out of there tonight." Matt said.
"Have you talked to Maddie lately?" Shannon asked kidding around.
"Yeah, I have been texting her earlier today." Matt said.
"Aw….we got a new couple?" Jeff said ruffling his brothers hair.
"Shut up!" Matt said gently pushing his bro away from him.
"Someone is in a mad mood." Fin said twirling her hair around her finger.
"Someone is nervous, you only play with your hair when your nervous." Toes said calling Fin out.
"No I'm not." Fin said quickly removing her hands away from her hair and put them in her pockets. Shannon and Jeff ran up behind Fin and picked her, she was kicking and screaming to let her down.
"I told you that you weren't that heavy." Toes yelled.
"Your not heavy at all." Shannon said as him and Jeff put her back down on her feet.
"I bet you can't pick me up by yourself much less put your arms around my waist." Fin dared him.
"Okay, I take the challenge." Shannon said.
"Wait, let me get my camera out." Toes said pulling out her camera and started to recording, "Now go."
"Come here!" Shannon exclaimed. Jeff, Gregory, Matt and Toes were laughing watching Shannon trying to grab Fin. Fin ran down the street and behind trees trying to get away from Shannon. For once Jeff didn't care about Shannon acting this way and was having fun about it. Shannon eventually grabbed Fin by her arm, he pulled her toward him. He was able to fit his arms around her with lots of extra space.
"See audience there is plenty of room between Shannon's arms and her stomach. Now the pick up test." Toes said.
"Your not helping." Fin said looking into the camera. Shannon grabbed her tightly, picked her up and put her over his shoulders to where she was sitting on his shoulders like a little child would do on their parents shoulders.
"See, you aren't heavy at all." Shannon said.
"Put me down." Fin said rubbing her hands through his hair.
"Give me your hands." Shannon said raising his arms to grab mine. I grabbed his hands as he slipped me off over his head.
"I think it's Toes turn." Fin said grabbing the camera from Toes. Gregory grabbed Toes and picked her up in a cradle carry.
"See, I bench more than you." Gregory said lifting Toes over his head. We came up onto Jeff's house. Fin had her arms around Shannon and Jeff's shoulders barely carrying herself as Gregory was carrying Toes.
"You two are lazy butts." Matt said.
"Thanks, we know we are." Toes said saluting.
"I got to get back to work." Shannon said as we walked up to his car.
"Thanks Shan." Fin said kissing him on the cheek and giving him a wink.
"Who's up for four wheeling or jet-skiing?" Jeff asked.
"We have never been." Fin said excitedly.
"We can teach you." Matt said grabbing the extra helmets and handing them to Fin and Toes. They slipped on the helmets and jumped on the back of the four wheelers of Gregory and Jeff's. They started the four wheelers and took the dirt roads back to Imagi-nation. Gregory and Matt were more timid than Jeff, Fin started to regret riding on the back of his four-wheeler. Jeff was doing jumps, which was giving Fin a heart attack.
"Having fun?" Jeff turned and asked Fin.
"Yeah, just be careful." Fin answered. Jeff stopped the four-wheeler on the side of the road to let Matt and Gregory to continue on. "What you doing?" Fin asked.
"Your turn to drive."
"Say what?"
"You want to learn how to drive one, you got to start somehow. I am sure I am going to learn something from you."
"I can teach you how to boogie board." I answered climbing back onto the four wheeler with him climbing on behind me, he put his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder so I can hear him whisper in my ear. Fin looked over, saw Matt stopped on the side of the path taking pictures with what looks like Toes camera.
"You ready?"
"Yep, lets go." I answered.
"Okay, your gas is the right handle, slowly turn it to speed up." Jeff explained. Fin slowly started the four-wheeler, Gregory and Toes rode by making faces. We took off after them and Fin slowly came around the corner next to Matt, he took photos of us. "Let's jump this." Jeff said pointing to the jump in front of us. Fin sped up nervously of a repeat of last time I was on the four-wheeler. We jumped the ramp and landed on the other side safely and continued on behind Gregory. Matt jumped back on his four-wheeler and we rode back to Jeff's garage.
"Have you guys ever been four wheeling?" Matt asked as Toes and Fin pulled off their helmets.
"Once with our aunt, that was when Fin almost knocked our aunt of the back for going to fast." Toes said.
"She told me to step on the gas and I did, it wasn't my fault she didn't tell me slowly." Fin said in her defense.
"Is that why you froze up out there?" Jeff asked wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Yeah, but I am over it now. I am hungry, anybody else up for food?" Fin asked.
"What are you going to make?" Matt asked sarcastically.
"I don't know, I don't live here, I don't know what is in the cabinets." Fin said. Jeff led us into the house, Fin walked into the kitchen and looked at what ingredients he had.
"What are you finding?" Jeff said leaning in the door frame.
"Well, you have enough ingredients to make cheese quesadilla's but we had Mexican food last night."
"I never had home made quesadillas. Hey guys, how does home made quesadilla's sound?" Jeff yelled out into the living.
"Fantastic!" Matt said.
"If they are my sisters, awesome." Toes said.
"If they sound as good as she says they are, I am fine with it." Gregory said looking into Toes eyes.
"Quesadillas it is" Jeff said looking into Fin's eyes.
Fin's Point of View-
"Okay, you don't mind me cooking in your kitchen?" I asked.
"I could get used to it for once, I am not much of a cook myself." Jeff said honestly.
"I could see that." I said looking around the kitchen for the ingredients and the dishes.
"You need help?" Jeff asked as he walked up behind me, and putting his hands on my waist.
"You can go find out if they want chicken and cheese, or just cheese." I said trying to put my mind other where.
"Okay." Jeff walked out of the room, I couldn't help but stare at him walking out. I heard him asking them what one they one. Jeff walked back in smiling at me for no apparent reason. "Enjoy the show?"
"Oh yes. How many of each?" I asked as he walked over and kissed me on my lips intensity, I broke away from the kiss and went back to the quesadillas.
"They all want chicken and cheese, do we even have chicken?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, right here." I said as I pulled it out and put it on the counter. I pulled out the shredded cheese, the tortillas and a frying pan. I started the stove and sprayed it with Pam.
"Do you need any help baby?" Jeff said sitting on another counter.
"No, you can stay and watch for right now." I said walking over and kissing him on the lips lightly, just enough to tease him. I went back to cooking, and I just finished the first quesadilla. I sat it down on the plate and went to start making the next one.
"You want me to take that one out to someone?" Jeff asked jumping off the counter.
"Yeah, if you want to." I said not paying that much to him.
"Matt, here is your quesadilla" Jeff said handing him his plate.
"Thanks Fin!" I heard Matt yell from the living room.
"If you want a drink, you got to get up and get yourself." Jeff said walking back into the kitchen.
"Thanks babe." I said. Jeff walked up behind me while I was grilling the second quesadilla. Jeff was kissing my neck lightly and slowly and I contained my focus on the quesadilla. "We going to the hotel after this?"
"Yeah, that is if you don't mind staying here for one more night." Jeff said as he played with my hair.
"I don't have a problem." I said putting the second quesadilla on a plate. Jeff grabbed the plate and carried it out to Gregory, he walked back in and went back to his position.
"So, what is going to happen between us?" Jeff asked.
"We have to wait and find out." I said not turning to look at him. He ran his fingers through my hair, kissed my neck and rested his head on my shoulder.
"When did you learn how to make this quesadilla?" Jeff asked.
"I read it in a recipe book, and yeah, it just stuck." I explained.
"Well, I love a cook, anybody that is a better cook than me." Jeff said jokingly. I finished the 3rd quesadilla, and set it on the plate. Jeff took it out to Toes for her to enjoy, Matt was already finished, Gregory was waiting for Toes to get hers. Jeff walked in and saw me pull out a second frying pan to cook two at once. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"I am going to cook two at once so I can get done sooner." I answered.
"Don't over stress yourself." Jeff said as he jumped up on the counter. I cooked the two at once and proved him wrong, I put the two grilled quesadilla's on the plates and handed one to Jeff. He grabbed my empty hand and walked me over to the table in the kitchen. We set our plates down on the table, he pulled out my seat and pushed it when I went to sit down. I watched Jeff take a bite out of the quesadilla and he had to wipe his chin to get the cheese strings from the melted cheese. Jeff nodded his in approval of the quesadilla, and he chewed it slowly.
"Would you like something to drink?" Jeff said.
"Yeah, if you tell me how you like it." I asked stopping him from getting up from his chair.
"It tastes wonderful, your such a good cook." He said as he leaned over and kissed her forehead. Matt walked in to put up his plate and to grab a beer.
"Thanks for lunch, you don't seem like a cook type." Matt said popping open the beer.
"Oh really, I didn't realize you drunk that much." I said pointing at his beer.
"Oh, I am sorry for drinking, you can't drink on the job, so on the days off I drink a little." Matt said walking out of the room.
"You want a coke right?" Jeff asked.
"Fine with me." I answered. He walked over setting two coke cans down on table. "You didn't want a beer?"
"No, I will drink coke more often than none." Jeff said popping open his can and taking a swig. We finished eating our quesadillas and cleaned our plates off.
"Hey sis, you ready to go to the hotel to get rest of our stuff?" I asked Toes who wasn't in the living room.
"Her and Gregory are in the ring in the basement." Matt said pointing towards the basement door.
"Oh god." I said.
