I don't want to fuck you

SAIGE POV

Collin's cousin was hot! And he asked me to ditch school to hang out with him?! Hell yes! I needed a good day with a hot guy after the dream I had last night. If I couldn't have Collin, then this Finn guy would have to do.

Then an idea struck me: If Collin had any feelings toward me at all, which I gathered he did, then being flirty with his cousin might do the trick, right? Guys are known for doing some crazy things when they're jealous.

After I freshened up, I headed back out to find Finn standing by the front door eating a banana.

Finn winked at me. "Ready to go?"

A huge grin spread across my face as I blushed. I was actually fucking blushing. That rarely happened to me.

"I'm ready."

Collin appeared in the foyer and glared at me. "I really think you should go to school, Saige. You can ride with me. You and Finn can hang out later."

Was he serious?

"The last time I checked, Collin, you're not my dad." I stepped up to him then and ran my finger down his neck and over his chest. "Unless someone's jealous?"

I watched his jaw tense as he stared down at me. "I'm not jealous."

"No?" I stepped away from him and right up to Finn, mimicking what I just did to Collin.

Finn laughed, wrapping an arm around my waist. "Don't poke the bear, Saige. We'll be fine, Collin. Don't wait up."

As Finn pulled me out the front door, I couldn't help but look back at Collin once more. He looked completely pissed and I thought he might blow a gasket, but he just stood there and watched us leave. Not jealous, my ass. It was already working and I hadn't even started yet.

"So, where do we want to do this?" I asked, knowing why he actually wanted me away from Collin. It was always the same with guys. They weren't actually interested in hanging out with me.

He looked over at me with a confused look on his face. "Do what?"

I rolled my eyes at him, pulling my sweater from my shoulders. "You know... fuck. Where do you want to fuck? I know a few good parking spots that are private."

"What the fuck? I don't want to fuck you, Saige. You're gorgeous as hell, don't get me wrong, but I legitimately want to hang out with you." He looked appalled by my words and now I was blushing for a whole other reason.

"So, you don't want to just fu..."

He cut me off. "No! Good lord! What kind of guys do you normally hang out with?!" 

Here I go again, blushing up a storm.

"The kind that normally just want to..."

"Stop. I don't want to hear another word. However, you can give me the names of those boys and I'll make sure to give them a lesson in morals." Finn shook his head. "You barely know me, girl!"

I was already beyond embarrassed and now he was making it worse. He was right, though. I did barely know him.

"Let's get some breakfast and then we'll go from there. Sound good?"

With a nod of my head, I pulled my sweater back on and sank into my seat, staring out the window. It was strange to me that both Collin and Finn didn't want me. Was I losing my touch? Or, were they actually real gentlemen?

My phone buzzed in my back pocket as I pulled it out and saw Kora's name with a new message. Uh-oh. I hadn't talked to her in what felt like forever. She was probably freaking out, especially after I kind of told her off on the football field.

Kora: Where the hell are you?! We're doing the dance decorations right now and you're MIA. What gives? Are you mad at me?! Did I do something wrong?!

I giggled at her message. It was so like Kora to overreact and lose her mind.

Saige: No, babe, I'm not mad at you. I just needed a day to myself. I promise I'll make it up to you. You'll do great on the decorations without me. Speaking of the dance... I don't have a date.

After I pressed send, I looked over at Finn. I hadn't planned out who I was going to take to the dance as my date and Finn seemed like the best choice. I'd love to bring Collin but that obviously wasn't going to happen.

"Hey, Finn, how do you feel about school dances?"

He laughed. "Where do I sign up?"

"Good. Because I need a date."

Finn looked over at me and winked. "I know where we're going after breakfast then." When I looked at him with confusion, he laughed and added, "We need to go shopping, right? I sure as hell don't pack a tuxedo with me when I go out of town."

I laughed, shaking my head. "Fair enough."
