It's Your Baby, Belén Domínguez [books for 10th graders txt] 📗

a look and she shrugged.

 

“What? I will need some” she smiled innocently.

 

Austin chuckled and then looked at me. “Are you sure you don't want?”

 

I shook my head. “I'm sure. . .”

 

The night went on and on, and I couldn't stop thinking about Finn. How our lips seemed like they were made for each other, how he wanted to feel me close, how he liked caressing me. He felt so warm against my body.

 

I found myself sitting by myself on the couch while staring at nothing in particular, sipping on my water.

 

“Why so lonely?” someone said while sitting next to me, very close.

 

“Huh?” I tilt my head towards this guy. He had rosy cheeks and deep brown eyes. His hair was black and messy. He was wearing a white buttoned up shirt and loose jeans. He had a grin across his strong features, holding a red cup.

 

“I mean, a pretty girl like you shouldn't be alone” he said as he started getting even closer to me.

 

“I just. . .Um, I'm just waiting for my friend” I said. He put his free hand around my shoulder.

 

“It’s okay, I'll take care of you” he said and moved his hand to my thigh. I quickly tried to move but he held me in place me.

 

“Quit it, man. She's not interested” Austin said, and I sighed in relief. I stood up and went beside him. This creepy guy huffed annoyed and left. I turned to Austin who smiled sweetly at me. “Sorry, he was drunk as fuck” he said. I nodded and then took a sip from my water cup. I scanned my surroundings and searched for Dani, I spotted her talking to a guy.

 

She instantly saw me and then walked towards my direction. “What?” she asked innocently.

 

“Oh nothing, just that you left me there waiting alone. . .And you were just talking to a guy” I scoffed.

 

“Sorry. . .I had to, you know” she said.

 

“Anyway, I don't feel very well, can we go?” I asked. She nodded and I told her to wait in the car. She walked away and disappeared among the crowd. I turned to Austin, he was standing there casually, grinning at me.

 

“Thanks for inviting us, it was. . .Fun” I said.

 

“It’s okay, thanks for coming. I guess I will see you at school” he said and grabbed me by my waist pulling me close to him. I was taken aback by his sudden show of affection since I barely know him. But he seems like a nice guy and I think we can be friends, I guess. . .

 

I then realized he had hugged me for a long time. I tried to get away from his grip but he didn't budge.

 

“Umm, Austin?”

 

“Mm?" he mumbled, swaying me from side to side.

 

“You can let me go now” I chuckled. He quickly pulled away and scratched the back of his head.

 

“S-sorry. I'm-I'm a hugger!” he said nervously.

 

I giggled and put a strand of hair behind my ear. “It’s okay, really. I actually needed a hug" I said and hugged him briefly. He smiled and bit his lip, he looked kinda cute. “What? You want another, huh?” I asked jokingly.

 

“Actually, yes, it’s the least you can do after coming to my party” he said while casually putting his hands on his jean pockets.

 

I laughed and shook my head. “But you invited—” I was cut off by him hugging me tightly again. I put my arms around his neck. I don't even know why I'm hugging him like this. I mean. . .I don't know him. But I do know one thing though. . .He does give nice hugs.

 

I pulled away. “I'll see you in school on Monday”

 

He nodded. “Of course. Yeah. Umm. . .Have a safe night”

 

“Thanks, you too” I simply replied. While I was walking away, I turned around, he was still staring at me. But when I stared at him, he quickly looked away. I shrugged it off and then went to the car with Dani.

“So what is going to happen with Finn?” Dani asked when she parked at my driveway. I sighed and stared at the window briefly before turning my head sideways to face her.

 

“I seriously don't know. . .”

 

“What did you feel when you kissed him?” she asked.

 

“That's what scared me. . .How I felt about it in that precise moment. I felt fireworks, and-and butterflies in my stomach. . .It was so scary. And even though I wanted to pull away so badly, I couldn't. . .”

 

“Wow. Just. . .Wow” she said. “And what did he say?”

 

“He said that he doesn't regret it. . .”

 

“And do you regret it?”

 

“I—” I was cut off by a tap on my window. I jumped slightly, so did Dani. It was Alec, crossing his arms across his chest.

 

I got off the car. “I'll call you tomorrow” I said and she nodded. She started driving off the driveway and I turned to my big brother.

 

“Is kinda late don't you think?”

 

“I know, I know” I stared at the ground and then back at him. “Sorry”

 

“You didn't drink. . .Right?” he asked seriously.

 

I shook my head. “No, of course not. . .” I replied and he sighed in relief. “You think I would drink?”

 

“No, no, no. . .It was just to make sure” he said quickly and hugged me, but I just kept looking at him. He walked towards the house and I followed close behind him.

 

“You don't think I can be bad, huh? Well. . .I can” I said and went to the fridge. I grabbed a juice carton and showed it to him.

 

“What you will do with that?” he asked.

 

“I. Will. Drink. It. But wait! I won't use a glass for it” I said.

 

“Wow. What a badass” he said sarcastically.

 

I opened the carton and drank a sip. But somehow I couldn't swallow it, something in me wasn't allowing it.

 

“Aren't you going to swallow it?” he asked, an amuse grin plastered across his face. I shook my head quickly. “You will spit it out” he stated, nodding his head. I rolled my eyes but quickly nod my head again. I spit it out in the sink. I grabbed a glass and poured myself some juice. I saw Alec trying to hold his laughter, but obviously failed.

 

“Oh shut up” I said and took a sip. Well, that was embarrassing. . .

 

“It’s okay, G. I love that you're not a badass. You're still my little angel. And I was just making sure you didn't drink, sometimes Dani can make you be more, you know. . .Fearless” he said and kissed the top of my head. He turned on his heels to go and went upstairs. I just stayed there for a couple of minutes before walking to my room too. I was exhausted, I just passed out without taking my make-up off, not even my clothes.

 

With everything that had happened tonight, with Finn. . .I couldn't hold myself any longer. I just want to close my eyes and forget that any of this ever happened. But I can't, is unforgettable. . .

 

He kissed me, I kissed him back. . .

 

It happened, and it was so wrong. . .But at the same time felt so right.

 

God, I just want to stop thinking about it.

Chapter 19 - Mama Knows Best

Finn's P.O.V

 

I'm stupid, so freaking stupid. But what was I supposed to do, huh? She was so close to me, her lips looked so soft and sweet, and I just wanted to bring those lips and connect them with mine. And when I kissed her, that was it for me. . .I couldn't get enough of her.

 

And now I blew it. . .But I'm not giving up. It doesn't matter what she says, I promised to protect her and to be there while she's going through this pregnancy. Plus, this is my fault, thanks to my irresponsibility, she needs to be suffering this baby topic. If it wasn't for me, right now she would be happy and without any preoccupations. And we wouldn't have met. . .

 

I was driving down the road and into the Hotel I'm staying in. I can't wait till we move to our new apartment here in L.A. It’s going to be sick. Once I got there, I parked my car and then walked to the lobby; it was so desolated since its very late. I went to my room and took off my clothes, then lied on my bed. I grabbed my phone and started typing a quick text to her. 

 

“I'm truly sorry for kissing you like that. I know it was wrong, but don't hate me, please don't ignore me. . .”

 

I glanced at Cameron, who was fast asleep. I smiled and covered myself with my sheets, dreaming with those sweet lips I couldn't get enough of.

The next morning, I woke up by a loud noise. I groaned and put my pillow to my face. What is that obnoxious sound? I put the pillow beside me and stared at Cameron twerking to a new Miley Cyrus song. I sat up straight and rubbed at my eyes.

 

“Why can't my roommate never be Jack? He always sleeps until noon. But no, I have to be with noisy Cam, who wakes up very early” I said mostly to myself.

 

Cameron turned to me. “C'mon dude, is a beautiful day!” he exclaimed and then started jumping on my bed.

“You know. . .Some of us want to sleep, Cam” I said and threw a pillow at him. He glared at me, then came to a stop. He sat down next to me as I brush with my fingers at my now messy hair.

 

“Sorry, I just feel happy. . .Why aren't you?” he asked.

 

“Is morning, I'm not in my best mood at this time of day” I replied.

 

“I think something happened last night. . .With Gwen perhaps” he said and stared at me straight in my eyes. I couldn't lie to him, he had something in those eyes that make you tell him the truth.

 

I let go a heavy sigh, and nodded. “Yes, but—”

 

“But nothing, Harries, you're not escaping this one. You're going to tell me everything like it or not. . .” he said.

 

“I kissed her, alright!? I fucking kissed her” I said and got out of bed. I started pacing back and forth cursing under my breath. Cameron looked at me with a shocked expression, opening his mouth and then closing it again.

 

“I know; I know. . .I shouldn't have done that. You don't have to tell me” I said.

 

“I'm just, you know. . .Very shocked. I can't believe you actually kissed her” he said and stood up also. I walked towards a corner of the room and picked up a shirt. I sniffed on it to check. Smells clean to me. . .I put some deodorant and then put on that shirt with some sweatpants.

 

“Really Finn? It was on the floor” Cameron said. I turned my attention towards him and crossed my arms across my chest.

 

“Look, Cam. . .It’s been a very tiring night. And I seriously don't care” I said. He raised his hands up in defeat.

 

“Thank you” I mumbled and then grabbed a water from the mini fridge. My throat was so dry. I took a sip and instantly felt
