All or Nothing – Chapter 8: In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
It was 2 A.M. when I reached the building I was looking for. I parallel parked, barely, grabbed my bag, and ran up to the main entrance. Cursing the fact that there were no elevators in this old building, I climbed the three flights of stairs, and banged on the apartment door. A tired looking Tina opened the door.
"What the hell?" she said.
"Came for a sleepover," I grinned.
"It is 2 A.M., Finn!"
"So?"
"We're not in college anymore. I have work in the morning!"
"I won't be a bother. Just wanted to visit you for a couple days."
Tina frowned and tilted her head. "I wonder why. Get your gay ass in here."
I went past her into the living room.
"Now, wait, I'm not interrupting anything am I?" I said, glancing towards the bedroom.
"Oh please," Tina said, shuffling into the room. "I haven't had anyone in that bed besides me in months."
"What happened to that guy Jason?"
"Yeah he is now dating a stripper."
"Gross."
"Yeah. So anyways, if you think I'm going to get involved in all this Will drama, you are wrong. I'm going to dinner with him in two nights, and that's it. You are not coming with."
"I wouldn't think of intruding. Talking to you just made me realize how long it had been since we'd seen each other."
"Mmm hmm sure. Finn, I've heard about Blaine. He sounds perfect."
"He is perfect."
"Then why are you here? And don't tell me its to see me again, because we both know that's bullshit."
"I just have to see him."
"Why?"
"To see if there's something still there."
"What makes you think there is?"
"Well he asked for my number for one."
"To apologize. It doesn't mean that he still wants you. And I don't want to see you get your hopes up?"
"Who says my hopes are up?"
"2 A.M. Finn!" Tina threw her hands up.
"I just have to see him. That's all. I just have to."
"Fine. Sleep on my couch for the next couple nights. When it is time for my dinner with Will, you can come, but no drama! And then after that, you can haul your ass back to Kurt and that perfect Blaine."
"Would you stop calling him that?"
"Sounds pretty damn perfect to me."
"Blah. I thought you had work in the morning."
"You are lucky I do," Tina said, going to her room. "Sleep tight."
"You too," I said, as I took off my shirt and spread out on the couch, to plan what I would say to Will when I saw him. I was still awake when Tina left in the morning.
