Lake looked at Finn's name flashing across her screen. He had dumped her a little over a week ago so she had no idea why he was calling now. Maybe he had found something in the house that she had forgotten. If that was the case, it wasn't something she was missing. She knew she should not answer the call but her finger automatically moved to the green button.
"Finn?" She asked.
"Hi, babe," he said. "Wanna come over?"
She looked at the wall clock. Two hours until Seth came home from work. Finn knew Seth's schedule. Him calling while Seth was at work wasn't a coincidence.
"Lake?" He asked.
"What do you want, Finn?" She asked.
"I just wanna talk to you but I'd rather do that in person," he said.
"Seth will be home soon," she said.
"So? Aren't you an adult making your own choices or has he already gone into daddy mode and given you a curfew?" He asked.
"He's not like that," she said.
"Then prove it," he challenged. "Come over for a quick talk. You'll be back before him. He doesn't have to know."
He hung up before she could say anything else. She looked back at the wall clock and sighed. She knew she shouldn't do it but she still grabbed her car keys and got out in her car. Maybe he wanted to apologize in person for how he threw her out. It might be good getting come closure so it would be easier to move on.
She drove to Finn's house and parked the car. She sat in her car for a few seconds, looking up at the house. She knew this was a bad idea. She could still go home. As always she didn't listen to the voice of reason inside her head. She got out of the car and walked up to the front door. She knocked and he opened shortly after.
"You don't need to knock, babe," he stepped aside. "Come on in."
She stepped inside and got out of her flip flops.
"That's the second time you call me babe. You did that too when you called," she said.
"Well, you are a babe," he grinned.
He stepped closer and reached a hand up to tuck some of her hair behind her ear. His hand continued its path behind her neck, and he pulled her in for a kiss. It took three seconds before she realized what was happening, and she pushed herself away from him.
"What? Don't you want me anymore?" He asked.
"What about Carmella?" She asked.
"She was a brain fart. A mistake," he laughed. "We all make mistakes in life, right?"
"I guess," she said.
"I'm sorry, babe. You know I didn't mean to hurt you. I just got swallowed up in my own selfish needs," he said. "Don't you want me anymore?"
"That's not the point," she said.
"Don't you want me anymore, Lake?" He leaned in and ran his nose up her neck. "Because I want you. I want you so fucking bad right now."
He stuck his hand down her shorts and felt the outside of her panties.
"It sure feels like you want me," he said. "You're wet, babe. Let me take care of your needs."
"Finn," she whispered.
He moved his hand inside her panties and stuck two fingers inside her. She grabbed his shoulders and squeezed.
"Finn!" She gasped.
He silenced her with a kiss. He pushed her shorts and panties down her legs and left them in the hallway. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the bedroom.
"You got too much clothes on, babe," he smirked.
He pulled his t-shirt over his head and she did the same with her own t-shirt. He opened his denim shorts and took them off along with his briefs while she got out of her bra. He laid down on the bed, grabbed his dick with one hand, and beckoned his other hand in the air.
"Come here," he said.
She moved up on the bed and kissed him again. He placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed down on them.
"Suck my dick, babe," he said. "Be good to me."
She crawled down the bed and took him in her mouth.
"Fuck, yes!" He moaned.
She looked up at him while giving him a blowjob. He had his hands behind his neck and his eyes closed. She kept going for a couple of minutes and then raised her head again.
"Why did you stop?" He asked.
"I don't want you to come already," she said.
He opened his eyes and then started grinning at her.
"Get on. Ride me," he said.
She straddled him and sank down on him. He grabbed her hips and let out a moan.
"No one fucking rides me the way you do," he said. "Show me how good you are, babe. Make me cum."
She started moving and he closed his eyes again. She found a good rhythm that worked for both of them. She was getting closer to her own orgasm when he suddenly squeezed her hips tightly and grunted loudly. A sound she knew all too well. She stopped moving and looked at him. He opened his eyes and grinned.
"That was amazing," he said. "Thanks, babe. I needed that."
"You're welcome," she said.
She felt stupid and climbed off him. Now was not the time to be upset over not cumming herself. There was still time for that later. He got up, grabbed his clothes, and went to the bathroom. She followed behind but heard him lock the door before she even got there. The shower turned on and she sighed.
She walked to the kitchen and cleaned herself with paper towels. She then went around gathering her clothes and put it back on. She went back to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, and sat down at the kitchen table.
He took his time in the bathroom. Nearly half an hour passed before he finally got out of there. She was through her bottle of water and just sat there waiting for him. He came walking out only in his briefs and actually looked surprised at finding her there.
"You're still here?" He asked.
"Didn't you want to talk?" She asked.
"About what?" He asked.
"I don't know. You were the one who called me asking to talk. I figured you might want to talk about us," she said.
"We're not getting back together," he said.
He opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. He turned around and saw the look on her face.
"At least not right now," he corrected. "I need some time to sort out my thoughts. You gotta give me some time, Lake."
"Then why did you call me?" She asked.
"I don't know," he shrugged. "I missed your company."
He walked over to the table and looked down at her.
"This isn't me being mean or anything. It's me being honest. I'm not saying we'll never get back together. I'm just saying that right now, I need some space. That doesn't mean I don't want to see you every now and then. You're hard to let go," he said.
He leaned down and pecked her lips.
"Okay?" He asked.
"Okay," she answered.
"That's my girl," he grinned. "I need you to leave though. I got some friends coming over tonight and I need to get ready. Everyone knows we broke up so it would be weird if you were here. You understand, right?"
"Yes," she said.
She got up and walked out in the hall. She stuck her feet in her flip flops and opened the front door. She turned to look back at him but all he did was wave. She nodded her head at him and left the house.
She got in her car and drove back to Seth's house. She sighed when she saw his car in the driveway. Of course he was home and wondering where she might be. She had left her phone in the kitchen after Finn called her. She walked inside, wondering if she could away with a little lie about driving around, but he was already one step ahead of her. He was waiting for her with her phone in her hand.
"You went to see him, didn't you?" He asked.
"No," she lied.
"Don't fucking lie to me, Lake!" He said firmly. "I can see he called you. You went to him."
"So what? I'm an adult. I can see whoever I want," she said. "And you had no right going through my phone. I'm gonna put a password on it. Give it back to me."
He sighed and handed her phone back to her.
"You know he's just playing you. You've gone through this before. Don't tell me you forgot all about that Bayley chick," he said.
"We got back together last time too," she said.
"Because his little side piece got tired of him and he didn't want to be alone and do his own cooking and cleaning. He's using you as his fucking bangmaid, and you know it," he said.
"Stay out of it," she said.
"When is it going to be enough? When will you finally have had enough?" He asked.
She didn't have an answer for that so she just shrugged. She knew he was right about everything but it was so hard to let go of the dream she had built up a long time ago about her and Finn together. A dream that had been shattered many times by him but she still came crawling back like a puppy to its owner.
"Look, I'm not mad at you, Lake. I'm mad at him. I'm fucking furious because I see how he's treating you. It's not okay. He's got you under his thumb and I don't know what to do. What should I do, Lake? Help me help you," he said.
"I need to figure it out on my own," she said.
"Of course," he nodded. "I don't wanna fight with you. You're an adult. You can choose to get hurt as much as you want, and I'll always be here when you need me."
He turned around and walked out in the kitchen. She heard him pull out things to start dinner. She walked to the bathroom, undressed, and got in the shower to get cleaned after visiting Finn.
She knew Seth was right about everything but for some reason she just couldn't let go of Finn. It was supposed to be them. She had told herself that for so long. He had said the same many times too, especially when he felt like she was pulling away. It was supposed to be them, and no one got to make the calls for them. But if it was supposed to be them in the end, why did it hurt so bad?
