Finn’s eyes turn dark. “Kel, when are you going to stop flirting with my girl? Don’t you know by now it pisses me off?”
My head spins. Did he just call me his girl?
“Dude, are you two finally official? It’s about fricking time!” he shouts, falling back.
I feel my brows pull in tightly. I open and close my mouth several times, trying to find the words. I’ve got nothing. On one hand, if Finn wants me to be his girl, then maybe he should have asked me first before announcing it to everyone. On the other hand, does he actually want me or is he claiming me just to get Kel off my back? I don’t like games or lies. This feels like both.
He pulls up in front of my building and I dart out of the car, slamming the door.
Finn jumps out after me. “Lizzy, wait.”
I spin to face him, my blood suddenly boiling. “My name is Liz, and in the future, don’t go around telling people I’m yours in any way, shape, or form. You have no right to mess with my heart.”
His face fills with concern. “That wasn’t my intention.”
I shake my head before lowering it to stare at the ground. “I guess. Merry Christmas, Finn.”
I rush into my building and up the stairs.
Knowing Finn, he meant well. It’s not his fault that more than anything, I wish his words were true.
