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

understand why Alec hates him to the guts, but if they could just sit down for a good two hours, they would get along just fine. But of course I know there is no way Alec could agree to talk to Finn. They will most likely kill each other.

 

“Sweet is my middle name” he smirked.

 

“Sure thing, Finn Sweet Harries” I rolled my eyes. Minutes passed and he parked the car. After he killed the engine, he went out of the car and put on his black ray bans, then walked to my side to open my door for me. He grabbed my hand and we walked inside this small but very nice looking Cafe. The smell of Cinnamon and Peppermint soon hit my nostrils. The smell of baked bread made my mouth water, and made my stomach growl.

 

“This is my favorite place in all L.A.” he said and lead me to one of the tables. I nodded and scanned my surroundings, it is such a really nice place.

 

“So, what do you want to order?” he asked while grabbing the menu. I shrugged and moved closer to Finn to see the options more clearly. He approached this closeness and placed a soft kiss on top of my head.

 

I smiled and looked up at him, I gave him a peck on his lips. "I missed you today" I said truthfully.

 

“Aw, babe” he said and put his arm around my shoulder. “I never really thought you would ever say that. . .I mean, it seemed like you would hate me forever”

 

“I got to know you better and realized that you are sweet”

 

“So I'm not an asshole anymore, am I?” he grinned and pinched my cheek softly.

 

I giggled. “Well, is too early to say that, isn't it?” I asked while crossing my arms across my chest.

 

“Hey!” he whined with a pout on his face. “You’re mean!”

 

“You are such a little kid” I shook my head, but couldn't help the smile that crept to my lips. He looked so cute with his hair all messy, his dimples showing with every smile he offers, and the way his eyes are always sparkling, making your knees go weak. He doesn't even need to try and you would go crazy for him. I never thought I would be in love with this boy. We haven't told each other that, I don't even know if he feels the same way. I hope he loves me, which I'm not so sure. I don't know why am I overthinking this. So what if he doesn't love me? Is not the end of the world, right? Or is it? Dammit, my head hurts. I just know that I love hanging out with him, and I know I said I hated him. . .But something about Finn made me forget my hatred towards him and was able to replace it by love, by compassion, by everything. . .

 

“Whatever. So, what do you want? You can order anything though, my treat”

 

“Wow. You're in gentleman mode today. . .I like it”

 

“Princesses like you should be treated properly” he said in his typical northern accent. I smiled, almost getting lost in those eyes.

 

Just when I was going to reply, something—more like someone—caught my attention. My parents. Crap. Frick. Unbelievable. You have got to be kidding me. This is a joke. Maybe I'm dreaming. Perhaps they won't be mad to see me with the only guy they forbid me to see. Nope, I'm dead. . .

 

“You know what? I'm–I'm not hungry anymore. Let's go!” I said grabbing his arm ready to leave, but he didn't even budge.

 

He smiled cheekily. “Gwen, I can hear your stomach from here, anyone can easily confuse that sound with Chewbacca” he chuckled.

 

“You don't understand—”

 

And then he saw to his right, his eyes widened and jaw tightened. “Fuck” he muttered under his breath and stood up. “How mad do you think they would be to see you with the guy they forbid you to be with?”

 

Yup, I love this guy. . .

 

“Mad enough to kill me. Of course, they will kill you first and then probably dance on your grave, Alec would spit at your stone, and then they will set it on fire. But that's just a guess”

 

“You are so not helping” Finn said while rubbing his temples. He grabbed my hand and dragged me outside. “I can't believe the only place I want to take you, they're here. . .”

 

“I know, talk about bad luck” I let go a heavy sigh.

 

“This is horrible, I really wanted to go on a date with you, we never had an official one, and that sucks. . .”

 

“Oh, so this was a date, huh? You know what? Don't worry. If we're together, nothing can go wrong. . .” 

 

He smiled. “So, we can even go to McDonald's and you would be okay with that?”

 

“Are you kidding!? It would've been more than okay. . .We should've gone there in the first place” I said which made him laugh.

 

“You're amazing” he said and put his arm around my shoulder.

 

And that's exactly where we went, McDonald's. You'd think is kind of pathetic to go to McDonald's for a date, but not to me. In fact, it was the best date I have ever have. Well, Finn kept complaining how that wasn't a proper place to take me as a date. But it doesn't matter. . .I still had a good time. Because you know what? I don't need fancy restaurants, or a very nice five stars Cafe, or a bouquet of flowers. All I need is to be with the one I like, and everything is going to be okay.

 

Believe me, I had more fun hanging out with Finn in McDonald's than sitting in that Cafe, or sitting in a restaurant. It doesn't matter where you are, it maters with who you are. I was having a blast with Finn, hearing his jokes or him talking about his life, or when he put two fries in his nose, it was so funny when he realized the amount of salt they had.

 

I had fun with him, and that's all what counts. . .

Chapter 34 - We are just Friends

Finn was taking me home, one hand on the steering wheel, and the other one holding my hand. “Thanks Finn, for taking me out. I really needed to clear my head” I said while giving his hand a squeeze. He glanced at me and send me a smile.

 

“Of course, I'm so glad we got to hang out, even if it was at McDonald's” he chuckled and shook his head.

 

“Are you kidding? Best Quarter Pounder ever!” I stared briefly outside the window before turning back to him. "So, when are you guys leaving L.A.? It's been awhile”

 

“I didn't tell you? I thought I did. . .We actually live here”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah, we will get an apartment and everything”

 

I shook my head. We got to my house and Finn turned to look at me. I smiled cheekily at him and lean in to kiss his cheek, but he surprised me by moving his head, making me kiss his lips. I pulled away quickly, totally surprised.

 

“I was kissing in you in the cheek because is cute, and you just want to make out?” I said jokingly, making a pout.

 

“I'm a guy, Gwen. . .What were you expecting, huh?” he said and rested his forehead against mine. “Besides, you want to be cute, or you want to be pleased for real? I can offer you both feelings, but I believe is better to be more passionate here” he said and pecked on my lips.

 

I nodded. “I agree to that too” I said and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him towards my lips once again. He didn't hesitate, he just kissed me with all his strength. He rested his hand gently on my knee and started caressing it. He smiled into the kiss, so did I. When we pulled away, we both stared into each other's eyes.

 

“You're beautiful”

 

I let go a heavy sigh. “Don't lie to me, please. I'm not beautiful, in fact. . .I look like a freaking scarecrow right now. I have messy hair, bags under my eyes, and probably pimples”

 

“That's what makes you beautiful” he said kissing my nose. “You're natural”

 

That made me smile for real in what seemed for so long, and he's the only one capable of making me feel that way. I've been having such a horrible week. With fights, drama, tears, lies. . .And I just spend a few minutes with Finn, and is like I've had the most beautiful week ever. He makes me happy in so many ways. And I still don't understand how is it that just a few weeks ago, I hated him to my guts. Now, I'm here, in his car, kissing him, and hearing him telling me that I'm beautiful.

 

Life is so unpredictable; I just don't understand it anymore. . .

 

“Bye” I said and got out. I walked to my door and opened it. I went directly to the couch and started watching TV. I should probably start with Homework, but I had absolutely no energy to do it. This is like seriously the first time I don't do Homework before anything.

 

I was flipping through the channels, annoyed since there wasn't anything good to watch. But then again, I am indeed pregnant, and that might make me moody. I feel happy, sad, angry; that reminds me of those terrible five days when I was being with my period. . .Man, that was pure torture.

 

I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, I glanced up and saw Alec walking towards me. “Hey” he said timidly.

 

“Hey”

 

“The principal called”

 

“So?” I asked.

 

“I just wanted to know if you're feeling alright? You know. . .With this pregnancy thing”

 

“I'm fine, really. . .”

 

He nodded and walked towards the door. “I'll go out with Dani. Please don't burn the house while I'm gone”

 

I chuckled. “I don't make promises” I replied jokingly. He shook his head and smiled, laughing briefly before turning on his heels to leave.

 

I touched my bump, caressing it delicately. It felt such weird feeling. . .It was so, complicated. I wanted to cry, to smile, to laugh, all at the same time. I know perhaps I might be going mad, having all of this feelings for a little person growing inside of me. I never thought I would have to go through this type of things, or fighting this much with my family, or perhaps starting to have all these emotions for Finn Harries. My life had turned into something so weird, I just don't know anymore. . .

 

I felt so tired that I turned off the TV and went straight to my bed. I let the covers embrace me, the same way I did when I was a little kid and was scared of something, I would hide under them and feel safe all of a sudden.

 

I closed my eyes, and let the sleep consume me completely.

I heard this annoying sound, which made me wake up. I groaned and turned the other way around, I'm too exhausted to actually wake up. But the sound came coming, so I vaguely got out of bed and realized it was my phone in my nightstand. I rolled my eyes annoyed, asking
