Chapter 35: When I look at her I think we can
Finn POV
Damn I look good!
Last mirror check before I walk out my door
I'm so nervous
I'm nervous like first date nervous and it's not even a date, it's more like a family lunch
I'm excited to get her on the dance floor though
I'm excited for my brother, he's going to be such a great dad
I'm nervous I might mess up and spill the beans
I can't wait to be near River again, to touch her again
Damn Chailor got me all in my feeling and that's making really nervous
I want River, I need her
I want to be with her, but how would it work?
How do I go 25 months without kissing her or hearing her laugh
My palms are sweating like crazy
Okay Finn I say jumping around a bit to calm my nerves
I'm just going to talk to her, I want us to give it a shot when I get back
I won't ask her to put her life on hold for me, that is something I will not do it's not fair to either of us
I can always hope for shorter tours
The military is my life and I want River in my life
I think I can make both work.
I'll have to cause I'm not willing to give either of them up
Okay quit being a pussy and open the damn door and let's go see how hot our girl is
I don't hear anything when I come out
Humm, it's five to and Lincoln hasn't yelled at us once to hurry
That's weird
I lightly knock on River's door
She looks breath taking as she comes out
Her dress is the same color as my shirt
It hits a little above the knees and shows just enough cleavage to look sexy but still look classy
I want to rip it off of her!
"You look so beautiful" I finally gasp out
There's that blush
There's my blush
I slowly reach down and pull up her hand and give it a kiss with a little bow
She looks so damn gorgeous when she smiles like that
Her hair is curled beautifully and all I can think about is running my fingers through it
"You look very handsome" she says blushing
I keep her hand in mine, just holding it
rubbing circles across her knuckles before I take her hand and interlace it with mine
"Thank you Doll"
I gently and slowly put my other hand on her waist and pull her gently to me
She doesn't resist
As she nears me she moves her arms up around my neck
I start leaning down to kiss her
"Move your ass Spencer" There he is right in time, Mr. cockblock!
"Really Link" I groan
I gently kissed her forehead and then bend down and pick up her bag and mine
She looks just as disappointed as I do
"Are you ready?" I say with a quick smile
"Yes Finn I am" she says as she just holds my eyes for a minute and then I see that blush
starting to cross her cheeks.
The girls run and hug and ohh and awee all over each other while me and Link take the bags to the trunk
"You ready for your surprise Finn?" Lincoln asks
"Yes I am brother. I'm just really excited about spending the whole day with you guys" I give him a quick smile
I just want to hug him so tight, I'm so excited for him and I can't wait to see that face glowing when he finds out he's going to be a father
When I get back he's going to have a whole wife and child my heart is so happy right now she better hurry and tell him because I might explode
I'm going to miss alot in Twenty-five months but I'll be back just in time for when the kid is actually fun and I can spoil them
"You okay Finn?" Link asks
I glance back and realize he's been watching me for a minute
"Yeah man, I'm good"
"Just noticing how hot we all look in our matching outfits and wondering if you're taking us to the restaurant I think your taking us to" I stay with a laugh
"You sure? You look nervous like your hiding something?"
No Link, what would I be hiding?" I forgot how easy it is for this man to read me
Chailor's going to kill me
I'm going to be telling him before she does if we don't get going
"We should get the girls and get going"
"Uh-huh sure whatever Finn" he says never breaking on contact with me
"What?" I say as I playfully punch him in the arm
I start walking towards the door
"Finley Robert Spencer!"
"Damn bro really!! Full name and everything"
"Dont you move, turn around now"
That's his 'You fucked up' dad voice
Chailor and River are coming out the door now
Yes!! Saved!! Thank you girls
"Babe, can you and River please go back in and grab us some water bottles for the road?"
I can see the panic in Chailor and River's eyes as both their eyes look to me and then to Lincoln both for different reasons
"Yeah, of course" she finally replies
They look at each quickly and head inside
As the girls go back in and close the door behind them I slowly turn around
As I turn I just give him that dimmpley smile that I used to give him when we were kids and he was mad at me
"Really?!" Lincoln says looking at me
"What, brother? What's up?"
"Their going to be back any second quit playing games" He hisses at me
"I know you like River, I've never seen you look at a girl like that before"
I just give him a sheepish smile
"Yeah"
"So I'm just going to say this one time I love that girl like my own sister but if you break her heart I will punch you in the face. Also if you break your own heart I'll punch you in the face"
"Lincoln, come on bro"
