9 Chapter 8 : Reunion

[Haley POV]

It's already 7PM, Finn is gonna be here any second. And I didn't tell him about the dinner!! What if he has something to do? Well there's nothing I can do then, all I can do is hope this goes well. I want to be friends with him again...

Finn was one for the most genuine people I've met, he never minces his words and never hides his intentions. He made it so clear what he wanted when he was pursuing me that I was stumped. Even then he became someone I could rely on for solid advice and help when I needed it. But I wasn't there when he needed me the most, I want to make it up to him.

I need to know what time is dinner gonna be ready too, so I walked down from my room into the kitchen where I saw mom preparing the vegetables.

"Hey mom, what time is dinner gonna be ready? Finn will be here any minute!" I coudl see mom let out a sigh and turn around towards me.

"Haley, dinner will be ready at 8PM, till then help your friend with his homework or something." with that she turned around and went back to cutting the vegetables. Wait just a second, did mom just give me permission to have a boy in my room? Is the world ending?!

"Alright, thanks mom!" I ran the hell out of there before she realized what she just said, well I guess she would be chill about because Finn isn't my boyfriend. If I brought over Dylan then I KNOW there would be a cyclone blowing through this house.

*DING DING*

There he is! I looked at the clock, it was 7:10PM so it has to be Finn. If it ain't him then he is going to be soo late that I'll kick him out myself!!

I went up to the door and froze for a second, how do I talk after cutting him off? What if he called texted me if he really had no option? I took a deep breath, I'll just have to face the music. After all I fucked up. Then I opened the door.

I looked at the 5'9 guy with green eyes and his hair in a messy bun, it had strands falling onto his face that didn't look messy but instead they looked hot. THIS IS FINN?! I mean yeah I see it but he's grown like 2 inches and his hair is so long now! And his face looks so much more chiseled, like all the baby fat evaporated over two months.

Aren't recovering drug addicts supposed to look dead, how does he look so full of life?? Is that a guitar he's carrying? So he's still playing, that's nice because he's the best guitarist I've seen. Not that I'm telling that to anyone, Dylan would be soo mad.

Overall if I needed one word to describe the Finn in front of me it would be hot.

[Finn POV]

When the door opened I saw the same doe-eyed girl I saw two months ago. Literally no changes, that honestly felt so reassuring. I thought I had missed my life for two months and everyone grew and changed. In the grand scheme of things two months isn't that long to be lost as fuck.

She looks the same, yet that wasn't a bad thing. If I was the same Finn from before I'd be swooning all over again, but the current me doesn't really have the time or energy for that. I'm still not on track in my life and till I feel I'm back on track I can't even think about a romance.

"Sup Haley, looking fine as usual." I said with a sly smile while making eye contact, I've always come across as a flirty little shit with Haley. It's never actually worked on her the way I wanted but now I'm kinda glad, because this banter we have will always be really fun.

Her face was stuck in something between surprise and guilt before I spoke, but when I did speak she did an eye-roll and became far more relaxed. Ah, she felt guilty huh? Sweet girl...

"You're late by 10 minutes Mr. Romeo, what have you got to say for yourself." she put her hands on her hips and stared at me trying to be all menacing.

"Yes milady, forgive this fool for his tardiness" I did a mock bow while grinning, shit like this is just fun. Such lighthearted fun. We both burst out into giggles.

"I got caught up in the mall, my bad. Anyway you've got the notes?" her family was probably getting ready for dinner so I didn't want to disturb too much. I'll just get the notes, thank Phil and be on my way.

"Umm yeah, they're upstairs. Wanna come up?" why the fuck did she get so nervous out of nowhere? And girl are you crazy? Why are you calling a guy whose flirted with you for a year to your room?

"Haley! Whose at the door?" I heard somewhere scream from back in the house. Not too long after, a really attractive woman who looked to be in her late 30s walked in. Well clearly that's Haley's mom.

"Ah you must be Finn, both Haley and Phil spoke about you!" I looked at Haley and she seemed to think her staircase was quite fucking interesting right now.

"Good evening Mrs. Dunphy, I hope it's all been good?" Now come one, no ones wants to be known as the persistent playboy turned drug addict!

"Well that's for me to know and you to find out! Dinner will be ready by 8PM, you two can do your homework. And no funny business! "

"Ah Mrs. Dunphy I won't-" I couldn't even complete my sentence as Haley grabbed my hand and started dragging me up the stairs, I had to be careful not to smash my guitar into the fucking walls.

"Alright thanks mom! Call us when dinner is ready!" Haley said as she kept dragging me up.

I can feel it in my bones, this is gonna be an eventful night. One way or another.
