Chapter 24: Enough with the heavy
Finn POV
As me and Nunzio are sitting taking shots and bullshiting
He looks over at me and finally says
"Okay spill"
"What" I look at him confused
"Your lost in thoughts and you look like you want to be anywhere but here, what's going brother?"
"I met a girl" I say with a heavy breath
"Enough said Man, just go to her then. We don't have long on leave why waste it on us"
"My men can take you where you want"
"No, it's more complicated than that. She's the type of girl I could see my self with long term"
"It's just shity timing but I can't quit thinking about her"
"If you're lucky enough to find that person don't waste it brother. If she's ment to be yours it will work out"
as he says that
I see a sad look pop up in his eyes as he says
"She's just the type of woman you can't get out of your head no matter how hard you try"
"If that makes since" I say running my fingers through my hair
"I know exactly what you mean by that" he then looks like his mind took him somewhere else
"Do you need to talk about what thoughts just pulled you away Danalii?" I ask him
"No man it was a long time ago" he says sadly
"I'm good, I'm going to go grab us a shot or two then we're going to go find a some fine ass woman to dance with"
I laugh as he's walking away from the bar with a piece of paper in his hand
We slam both shots and as we stand he says
"Here, put this in your pocket and give it to your lady. In case of a emergency"
He hands me a paper with a number written on it
I look at him with a questionable look
I look at him knowingly
He got drunk one night in basic and broke down and told me about a girl from when he was 16 that he really loved, something tragic happened to her and he lost her. He's never forgiven himself for it I could see it in his eyes as he told me about her.
He continues "Its my man Gio's number just in case she needs something while your away. A little bit of protection if you will"
"Okay enough heavy shit let's go show those boys how it's done" he says as he's heading through the crowd towards the dance floor
My phone starts vibrating, it's Link. I better grab this really quick
"Danalii" I yell pointing to my phone
"It's my brother, I'll be right back" I point to the doors
I answer as I push through the doors to go outside so I can hear him better
Damn I'm drunker then I thought, I think as I wobble on the sidewalk
"Hey Link what's up?" I ask laughing at myself as I stumbled a bit
"Are you going home tonight?" He asks
"Not sure yet why?
"Me and Chailor are going to stay over at a friend's tonight and she's just worried about River being alone after what happened today"
"Ohhhh, I can definitely go home if you need me too. You know to check on her or keep her company"
"No, it's fine. You sound drunk and your flirty enough already" he says.
"You sound a little drunk yourself brother"
"I am" he laughs
"Have fun, Link. Don't worry I'll go home once I'm done here"
"Hey Finley, remember what I said she's not that kind of girl keep your hands to yourself" he says in his ' I'm not messing around' serious voice
"I got it, I know" laughing as I reply
"Bye Link, kiss that beautiful fiance for me and have fun you deserve it"
"You too Finn, goodnight"
