âI need a few more weeks to prepare for the wedding.â
Richard dropped his knife and fork on his plate so fast that it startled me more than Finnâs sudden, loud declaration. And then the old man shot me a look. Me . What the fuck did I do?
You fucked his son, Aiden. Thatâs what you did.
Yes, but he didnât know that. Did he?
Oh, fuck. He was still glaring at me like this was all my fault. Hell, I didnât even know what was going through Finnâs mind at the moment, why he said that or decided to postpone his wedding.
Iâd run from that house after we spent the night together.
I had been feeling insanely vulnerable the morning after. Made sense. What man wouldnât have felt vulnerable in that kind of situation? I was in love with a guy who was going to be married to someone else within a few weeks. Iâd been so scared that Finn was going to wake up feeling disgusted with himself and me. In fact, I had been pretty sure of that. Iâd also been pretty sure that our friendship was effectively ruined. A numbness had taken over my senses, so the pain had become non-existent. Iâd been grateful for that. Finnâs loss would devastate me in ways which I did not even want to consider. But I would have lost him anyway even if I hadnât pulled off that whole seduction thing.
It was over. Him and I were over. But I did feel this strange satisfaction deep down that I had managed to make him want me to such an extent. If only for a night.
After heading out of his room back at the beach house that morning, Iâd worked out a little before cleaning up the mess left by the previous nightâs partying. The longer I had waited for Finn to wake up, the more stressed Iâd become. And after twenty minutes of silently panicking, I realized that I couldnât do it. I couldnât face him. I couldnât bear to see the regret and disgust in his eyes.
And so I had just left.
Yup. I had taken the cowardâs way out. Avoid and desert. That was my go-to when I couldnât handle a situation, and that was what I had chosen to do then, praying that Finn would come to terms with it, make his peace and shit, and then, he would go off and get married as planned. I wasnât needed. I was never needed.
Heâd followed me back to the city two days ago. We hadnât spoken since that night. But my family had been invited for dinner this evening at his place, and Iâd been too curious, too desperate to see him, to refuse the invitation.
âYour mother and I are taking care of all the arrangements, Finnigan,â Richard said briskly. âThere is nothing for you to prepare for.â
âI need more time, Dad,â Finn said firmly.
âThat isnât an option, Iâm afraid. The wedding will take place as decided on the date that has been agreed upon by both our families.
