How To Be A Good Boy?

{Chapter Seven}

Finn perched on the bench beside me as kids walked away with their parents. He was breathing heavily. I could feel heat radiating from his body. It made me feel warm from inside. I wanted to scoot closer, wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his chest. I was thinking like such a stupid girl.

If this continues then I'm going to land myself in a serious trouble. A crush on a bad boy slash player is never a good combination. I will end up being hurt. But I can't stop my feelings. They are beyond my control.

"Remember when we were in this park for the first time?" I asked him out of blue.

"Yeah?" He sounded surprised.

"I told you good people bring smile on other's faces." I reminded turning to look at his handsome face. He looked so beautiful, so serene, staring at distance. I tried not to act as a creep and turned my gaze away from his pretty face.

"Yeah," he said in a soft voice.

"You brought smile in their faces today, those kids. Nice job good boy." I couldn't help but smile.

Finn was a good boy no matter what people presented him as. He had a good heart. And that good heart had crept its way to my poor heart.

"You think I'm turning into a good boy?" He asked hopefully turning to look at me. I didn't look at him though because I knew I would get lost admiring his features and forget our conversation.

"Yes, you are." I nodded slowly.

"That's amazing," I could imagine a grin on his face. "I'll be a good boy and everything will be alright."

I sucked air sharply at the choice of his words. Everything will be alright. What is wrong? His mother not appreciating football? His mother not appreciating him?

"You know, I was contemplating to quit football." He muttered and I couldn't stop myself from looking at him with a surprised look on my face.

"What?"

"But after today, I don't think I can say no to football. I love football. It's my life. And even though some people don't like it, most do. Like these kids. I'm continuing to play."

I smiled at him. "That's amazing Finn."

He too smiled at me. "I know."

I looked away immediately. How can someone's smile make your heart race? Because my heart was beating Usain Bolt.

Finn was trying to be a good boy again. We were talking again. It was better than before. I always wanted to hang out with him. I looked for our hanging out sessions, tutoring sessions. I was feeling more happier than ever before. If someone would have told me I was going to fall for Finn Black then I would have called them mentally unstable.

Love comes unexpected. Even if you don't want to fall in love, you still do. It is force that you can't escape. So I embraced love instead of running away because a part of me hoped he would also fall for me.

"This movie is so boring." Finn grumbled. I nodded agreeing with him. We were at my place as Regina was out of town. When Finn learnt I was alone he decided to give me company.

"Then why are you watching it?" He asked.

"I'm not watching movie. I'm watching Channing Tatum. Don't you see how hot he is?" I replied not removing my eyes from the screen.
