"Listen, I'm sorry, okay?" I said, crossing my arms, avoiding his stare."I know it's wrong, but I can't control my dreams.And I know it makes me a terrible person, but I couldn't stop thinking about it.I didn't want it to be awkward between us which is one of the main reasons I avoided you.But yeah, I'm sorry for the dream."
When I finally forced myself to look at Finn, he was smiling.
"Don't be sorry," he said.
He shook his head as I opened my mouth to respond.
"I have those dreams too."
"You do?"
"All the time."
"Finn, I don't think you understand.This was naughty."
He nodded."How naughty?"
My cheeks went even hotter."Extremely."
"Like you said, it's not like we can control our dreams.Right?"
"Right," I said.
"Nothing to be embarrassed about."Finn gently chucked me under then chin."It happens."
"Yeah, okay," I said sarcastically and bopped his nose in retaliation.
"So, Dream Finn was good, huh?"
I groaned."Seriously?Are we still talking about this?"
"I want more details."
"Tough.You're not getting them, O'Brien."
"Come on," Finn said.
"No," I said back.
"Fine.But don't avoid me again, especially not for something so normal.Okay?"
I smiled."I won't."
"Oh, and Rose?" he said.
"Yeah?"
Finn waited until I turned to him."I know exactly what kind of dreams you're talking about.The things I've done to you in mine, the positions I've taken you in, the filthy things I've said, they'd get me thrown out of this school."
I swallowed.
"So, never be embarrassed.I'm not.And remember."Finn ran his hand along my cheek in the most tempting caress."The dreams I have of you are my favorite."
CHAPTER 12: Finn
"The constant push and pull was torture."
Emmy sounded frustrated.
