A soft yawn escaped my lips as I dragged my feet down the hallway making my way into the living room. My tired eyes landed on Finn's sleeping figure and by the look on his face, he wasn't effected from sleeping on the couch.
Sighing, I started brewing a cup of coffee and scratched my stomach as yet another yawn left my lips. I hadn't slept well last night, the thoughts of Finn breaking up with me keeping me awake. I knew that I was overreacting, though, because Sami had messaged me earlier this morning to let me know that at some point last night Finn called him when he sobered up and told him that he had messed up.
Still, I wouldn't allow myself to fall for Finn's apology right away. His actions and choice of words towards me were not okay and he needed to realize that it's going to take more than a sorry to make it up to me.
Taking a sip of my coffee, my eyes glanced out the patio door and as the bright sun shone through, I texted Sasha asking if she wanted to hang out by the pool today.
I'll bring the sunscreen :)
How's Finn?-Sasha
Peaking over the counter, I saw that he was still passed out with a bit of drool coming from his slightly open mouth.
He's still asleep. Sami told me that he called him, saying that he messed up.-Sky
Well at least he realized it right away but we'll talk more when I get there. I'm on my way-Sasha.
I rinsed out my cup in the kitchen sink before walking into the bedroom, rifling through my suitcases for a swimsuit. With all the drama yesterday, I had yet to unpack all of my clothes. I let my hair fall in its natural waves as I grabbed my things before walking back into the living room.
"Oi, my head." Finn groaned rubbing his eyes. Hearing me walk up, he looked me over and immediately his eyes raked over my body.
Licking his lips, he adjusted himself before a cough escaped his mouth. "Where are ya headed?"
I ignored him as I grabbed a few water bottles from the fridge. "Ya look beautiful."
A snort left my lips. He thinks flattery is going to make me forgive him? While he looked extremely adorable with his messy hair and tired eyes, I still held my ground. I continued my silent treatment as I packed up my bag.
Finn sighed before standing up and walked over to me. "Skylar," his voice begged, "I'm sorry about last night."
When I still refused to look at him, he used a finger to turn my chin towards him. I felt myself beginning to crack the longer I stared at him. "I was drunk. I didn't mean it."
I bit my lip and removed his fingers from my chin. "The thing is, when someone is drunk they usually end up speaking the truth. But I didn't kiss Kevin, he kissed me. If you would have let me explain, I would have told you that I pushed him off right away. But you were too busy blaming me that you didn't even bother to listen."
When my phone had gone off, Sasha letting me know that she was by the pool, I grabbed my bag and went to walk out but Finn grabbed my elbow.
"Skylar, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." His eyes begged me to stay.
Shaking my head, I blew out a shaky breath. "You also said you wouldn't hurt me but looks like you didn't mean that either."
Finn's face held deep regret and pain as he watched me walk passed him, slamming the door behind me.
"Don't you think that was kind of unfair?" Sasha defended for Finn as we sat next to the pool.
I rubbed more sunscreen on my legs as I shrugged. "So what if it was? He was unfair in calling me a cheater. It wasn't my fault that Kevin kissed me."
"So you're going to stay mad at him forever?" Sasha sighed.
"Honestly, I'm over what he said last night. I'm trying to make a point with him; don't judge my mistakes without getting my side first." My eyes looked around the crowded pool that we had at the apartment complex.
Sasha nodded, understanding my reasoning. "Are you planning on avoiding him for the rest of the day?"
Looking at my phone, I realized that not only were we here for a few hours but I had a couple of new messages from Finn.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I saw red last night, the demon took over.
Where'd you go?
Are you planning on coming back anytime soon?
Christ, will you answer me so I know you're alive.
Sighing, I chewed on my lip as I quickly replied to him.
I'm fine. I'm by the pool. I'll be back up whenever I feel like it.-Sky
Throwing my phone into my bag, I leaned back into the lawn chair trying to soak up the last bit of sun that was left in the day. The grey clouds had been forming for a while now, indicating a nasty story was about to roll in.
"Any plans for tomorrow?" Sasha asked.
I merely shrugged. "Not sure. Hunter wants to meet with me about my contract."
"What are you going to do?" She threw a shirt on at the sudden change in temperature.
"Honestly, I have no idea. I love wrestling but after being here for four years and not going anywhere it makes you wonder if you're doing the right thing."
Sasha frowned. "What would you do if you weren't wrestling?"
"You know I've always talked about wanting to paint." I started playing with my fingers. "But that's just a hobby while wrestling is my career."
"Well don't stress about it too much. Take some time to think about it. Talk it over with Finn." Sasha looked up to the sky as she felt a raindrop. "Looks like this pool day is canceled. Text me later?"
Nodding, I gathered my things before giving Sasha a hug goodbye. As I made my way back to the apartment, I thought about not only what I was going to do with my work life but also my personal life. I wasn't going to break up with Finn, that was a for sure decision, but he needed to know that I wasn't in the wrong with the situation last night.
When I opened the door, I was expecting to be met with a disgruntled Finn but instead I was met with an empty apartment. Setting my bag on the counter,fear took over when I noticed not only were his favorite pair of shoes missing, so was his favorite sweater. Looking around the empty living room, my gaze caught sight of a bright orange sticky note on the coffee table. I smiled when I recognized Finn's chicken scratch of handwriting.
Had to run some errands.
Finn xx
P.S Check the bedroom.
Curiosity took over as I scurried into the bedroom and opened the door. Right away my grey eyes landed on the surprise, a small gasp leaving my lips.
Picking up the giant stack of flowers, I took in the smell with a smile and noticed there was another note.
Check the bedroom closet.
Suddenly loving this little game, I walked into the bedroom closet and when I turned on the light, my eyes landed on the second surprise.
My fingers traced over the expensive fabric of the black lace dress as I picked off another sticky note. I found myself feeling like a little girl with all of these surprises.
Get beautiful and put this on. Then go to your car.
"What do you have me doing, Mr. Balor?" I smirked while running into the bathroom and taking the fastest shower of my life. After doing my make up and adding some product in my hair to get more curls, I carefully stepped into the dress and stepped into my shoes.
Grabbing my black clutch, I grabbed my phone and keys before walking into the parking lot, finding yet another sticky note on the inside of my steering wheel once I got inside.
3903 West Avenue at 6:00.
Looking at the clock, my eyes widened when I realized I had to be on the other side of town in ten minutes. Sighing, I pulled out of my parking spot hoping that I wouldn't get a speeding ticket while on my way to this surprise date.
