Fix Me

by Aubry, A

  The prison guard to Michael’s left had a small smirk on his face when I said that I knee’d him. Even he knew that Michael deserved it.

  “And what about Finn now? Are you two still together?”

  I nodded my head a little too quickly, holding up my left hand to show her the ring, “We actually got engaged this weekend. That was part of the reason I wanted to come to end all this. So that we can move forward and start our life together without Michael and the attack looming over us.”

  She opened her mouth to speak but Michael’s outburst filled the room.

  “You gold digging slut! I wasn’t making enough money for you, so you are going to marry some big hot shot athlete to get your cash?!” Michael screamed as he abruptly stood up from his chair, the force making it fall backwards against the wall.

  He tried to come at me and I found myself screaming as well, “Finn!”

  The prison guard on Michael’s left got him in some sort of headlock as the door swung open so hard it crashed against the long stand that sat behind it. Finn and the two prison guards from the lobby rushed into the room. The prison guards aided the other one in restraining Michael while Finn rushed to me, pulling me into his arms as I buried my face in his chest. I knew this was a terrible idea, I shouldn’t have come here. I sobbed into Finn’s chest, relishing in the smell of his cologne, he was here to protect me…he wouldn’t let Michael hurt me.

  “What did you say to her you son of a bitch?” Finn yelled at Michael.

  “I called her out for the little gold digging whore that she is!” Michael called out. He sounded out of breath as though he was fighting to get away.

  I clutched onto Finn as I felt him tense underneath me in anger, “You don’t know anything about Julianna! You spent years putting her down and breaking her spirit, making her think she was unwanted and weak because of the way that she looks. It’s not her fault that I make her feel good about herself, that I make her feel loved because she is beautiful and smart and the best god damn thing to ever happen to me.”

  “Well, you can fucking have her then. She’s not good in bed anyways, why the fuck would I want that? Go ahead, take my sloppy seconds.”

  Finn released me and started charging towards Michael, but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back towards me. Finn’s face was red with pure unadulterated anger.

  “Finn, please, hold me,” I cried, tears falling down my face.

  When he looked back at me, the anger was gone, and worry set in. He rushed back to my side and held me close as he kissed the top of my head, “I’m so sorry, baby. I’m here.”

  The room went quiet, the only sound in the room was the handcuffs being put on Michael. I lifted my head and saw him with his arms behind his back, the cuffs biting into his wrists. The sight made me happy, he couldn’t hurt me anymore.

  Letting go of Finn’s waist, I took his hand and looked up at him, silently pleading for him to take me home. He nodded and started to lead me towards the door, but I stopped at the threshold. This new confident and loved Julianna had something that she wanted Michael to know before he was hauled back off to the prison and shoved into his jail cell.

  “Michael, the only reason you probably think I was bad in bed is because you were too small to satisfy me. Every time that we had sex, I faked it. And while you’re lying in your cell at night, playing with your small cock? I’ll be with a real man who makes me come so hard I can’t see straight. Have a great life, asshole.”

  The look of astonishment on Michael’s face as I said my final goodbye made me feel alive. Finn’s mouth was agape when I turned back to him.

  “Take me home, Finn,” I quietly requested, shaking him out of his shock.

  His mouth closed quickly, and his lips turned into a sexy smirk as he took one last look at Michael and we walked back to the car. The second we were at Finn’s black Ford Explorer, he pushed my back against the car and his mouth pressed hard against mine. We hungrily kissed one another as I wrapped my arms around Finn’s neck, groaning against his lips. His hand reached down and lifted my leg, hooking it around his waist while his fingers gently danced over the bare skin of my thigh. Thank god, I chose to wear my black flowy skirt to work this morning.

  Where Finn had parked the car, the passenger side was shielded by bushes on two sides. For some reason, all my mind could think about was how well those bushes could shield anybody from seeing Finn fuck me against his car. My body burned and ached for him. Dr. Miller said I needed to blow off some steam and damn did I have a lot of pent up steam right about now. Reluctantly, I tore my lips away from Finn’s and looked up at him, our chests rising and falling quickly.

  “Fuck me, right here…right now,” I demanded quietly.

  “What’s the magic word?” Finn playfully smiled, his breathing heavy.

  “Just fuck me already,” I groaned as I pulled his lips back to mine.

  Finn groaned and pushed my panties to the side as I quickly undid his jeans, pulling them down just enough for his cock to spring out of his pants. Oh, he was ready for me, just as I was ready for him. He quickly slid his cock into me, a low moan escaping from my throat as my lips broke away from his and my head leaned back against the passenger window.

  Finn wasted no time setting up the perfect rhythm that sent my orgasm up to the top. I held onto him tightly, my eyes rolling back into my head as my pleasure just kept climbing.

  “Look at that,” Finn said in between grunts.

  I lifted my head and looked in the direction he was looking. A cop car was pulling away from the building that Finn and I had just left, with Michael in the backseat. The police didn’t notice us fucking in public, but Michael sure did. His face showed exactly how shocked he was that I was letting Finn fuck me against his car. If you would have asked me two months ago if I would have ever done this, I would have given you a resounding hell no. But now, it seemed like the most natural thing to be doing.

  “You like him watching us or something?” I grinned back at my man who continued to thrust away.

  “He should see how well I give it to you,” Finn smirked as he grabbed onto my ass.

  “You fuck me so good, Finn,” I moaned, my head leaning back as it was before.

  “You like that, Jules? You like how I’m fucking you right now?” He grunted, his mouth going back to kissing and sucking on my neck.

  “Yes, yes, I love it,” I pulled on his hair.

  Whatever he said next was completely incoherent to me as my orgasm was finally pushed off the edge and I dove in willingly. I held back from screaming his name, knowing we were in public. With one strong thrust, I felt Finn empty his release into me. Who knew that that feeling would be as amazing as it was?

  Finn released my leg as I sagged back against the car. My legs felt like jelly and I almost couldn’t stand. His arm wrapped around my waist as he aided in holding me up after his pants were back in place.

  “That blow off enough steam for ya?” Finn smiled, pressing a kiss against my forehead.

  “For now. I can’t say that that will still be the case when we get back to your place though,” I giggled.

  “I love you. I hope you know that,” Finn said softly as he gazed down at me.

  My heart melted into a puddle at the amount of love that was in his eyes.

  “I do know that. And I love you, too.”

  We exchanged another kiss before Finn opened my door for me and allowed me to take my place in the passenger seat before he raced around to the driver’s side. The drive to Finn’s was luckily a short one. More energy needed to be expelled by the time we got into his apartment and up to his bedroom.

  After a few more bouts of sex, we were finally spent. We cuddled in bed, my head resting on Finn’s chest as his heartbeat played in my ear, in time to mine. It was time to address what Michael had called me: a gold digger.

  “Finn…” I started, unsure if he was starting to fall asleep or not.

  “Yes baby?” His deep voice spoke softly.
/>   “You know I have no interest in your money, right?” I asked hesitantly.

  His hand stopped stroking my back, “I know you aren’t a gold digger, Julianna. Michael was just being a douchebag.”

  “I’d love you even if you were poor,” I said quietly, placing a soft kiss on his chest.

  “A poor soccer player. Sounds like my college days all over again,” he chuckled.

  “I know I’ve said this a million times…but thank you for being there tonight. Thank you for protecting me when I called for you.”

  The feeling of Finn’s protective arms around me always made me feel safe. He didn’t hesitate to come running when I called for him this evening. He stood up for me and held me when I asked him to. This was what it was like to be in love, this was what it was like to have someone love you back.

  “I told you, I will always be there to protect you. Whenever you need me, you just call for me, and I will be there,” his lips pressed against the top of my head.

  My knight in shining armor who was going to be my husband…I was one lucky girl.

  Chapter Ten

  The next several days were a blur. Friday came up quickly and I took a half day at work. Finn and I were going to be traveling to his hometown of Atlanta for tonight and Saturday. His birthday was on Saturday, but his team played the Atlanta team at home on Sunday, that meant an early flight back for him to make the game.

  I asked him if he could have anything for his birthday, what would it be? His answer was for me to join him in visiting his family to celebrate. The most I had ever seen of Atlanta was the airport and the small bit that existed between Atlanta and the Alabama border during a road trip. Since it was his birthday, I was happy to give him what he wanted. What he didn’t know was that I planned a surprise trip for us after his game on Sunday.

  Finn would have nearly two weeks off between the game this Sunday and his game a week from next Saturday. Thanks to this, and a little sweet talking of his head coach, I was going to take Finn on a weeklong vacation to Miami. A nice relaxing week with just the two of us…well us, Bo, and Angie.

  When I pitched to Bo that I wanted to take Finn on vacation, he begged me to let him and Angie join in since the whole team had a week to kick back and relax. Angie had quickly said yes to dating Bo shortly after mine and Finn’s few hour breakup. From what I had heard from her thus far, he made her really happy. Who was I to turn down time with my best friend and her boyfriend?

  When I had come down the stairs of Finn’s apartment, which was slowly turning into our apartment as my clothes would just happen to be ‘left’ there more often now, I was barely able to carry my own suitcase. Finn had laughed and asked me if I packed enough, but hey I had to be prepared for whatever may happen over the next day and a half.

  My suitcase was packed with an assortment of clothes, making sure I had something to wear for every occasion. I even packed extra condoms in case Finn remembered that he wanted to use them. Lately, they were becoming more and more obsolete whenever we had sex. I was on the pill, so it wasn’t terrible if he didn’t use one, I just didn’t want him to regret it if something happened because even the pill wasn’t exactly 100% effective.

  The trip to the airport was uneventful and the plane ride to Atlanta was smooth. Finn had only gotten approached twice for a picture or an autograph while we were waiting at the airport. That was some type of record, I swear. As soon as the plane was up in the air, my head was on Finn’s shoulder as we watched a movie on his tablet, sharing one set of headphones. Even though the flight was not very long, I fell asleep against his shoulder like I had the night of our first date. Normally I hated flying, but with Finn there, I knew I was safe.

  As Finn drove us to his childhood home where we would be staying for the weekend, he pointed out places from where he grew up. He drove me past his high school where he really fell in love with competitive soccer. I cracked the joke when I saw the bleachers that that was probably also where he gained his sex god status. The way his cheeks turned an adorable pink made my heart flutter. Even if Finn wasn’t a player in high school, it was still fun to tease him.

  When we pulled up outside of his childhood home, a blue two-story home with a white picket fence, I felt like I was looking at one of those houses that every television family had. There was even a white two person swing that hung on the porch, perfect for those family pep talks. There were three cars in the driveway which forced Finn to park curbside in front of the house. It was around dinner time and my stomach was growling.

  My pink and white sundress waved in the slight breeze as I got out of the passenger seat to help Finn with the bags. When I asked why his mom had so many cars, he just gave me a knowing smile and refused to divulge any information. That was until a young girl charged out of the front door, bee-lining for Finn. His face lit up as he hoisted the small brunette girl with excitedly wide brown eyes into his arms.

  “Uncle Finn, you really are here!” She kissed his cheek dramatically.

  She couldn’t have been more than five years old, but I could tell that she adored her uncle. It was plain as day on her face, it was the look that I had whenever I looked at Finn.

  “You’d think that I’d miss spending my birthday with my favorite girl in the whole world?” He chuckled as he hugged her tight.

  I wasn’t even jealous that I was taking a backseat as his favorite girl in the world to her, she was adorable. Finn adjusted his niece in his arms before turning her to face me.

  “Sofie, there is someone really special I want you to meet,” he started, his smile growing bigger as he continued, “this is Julianna, she’s going to be your aunt soon.”

  Finn and I hadn’t exactly set a date yet for our wedding, but we were still throwing out ideas on what we wanted to do. We were just enjoying our time together. That was all that mattered to me.

  “You are getting married?” She looked at me with those wide eyes and all I could do was smile and nod at her.

  “Yay! I get another aunt!” Sofie cheered as she leaned over from Finn’s arms to hug me.

  Before today, I had only seen younger pictures of Sofie, but now she was so grown up. She was Cooper’s daughter with his wife Amelia, they were currently expecting baby number two. Ashton and his wife Violet just had a daughter of their own six months ago, her name was Esmeralda, but Esme for short.

  I had yet to meet Finn’s brothers, but it seemed like once I stepped inside, I would finally get to meet my future brothers-in-law. The last time I had seen Carol, Finn’s mother, was when she did her surprise visit when Finn and I started dating. I was worried I made a bad impression on her during that trip, after faking sick because my feelings were hurt about Natalie. But Finn reassured me that she still believed I was sick and even though we only talked for a short while, she still adored me.

  “Why don’t you go inside and tell everyone to make sure dinner is ready because Uncle Finn is starving?” He encouraged as he set Sofie back on the ground.

  She gave a quick okay and ran back into the house. I wrapped my arms around Finn’s neck and gazed into his eyes.

  “So, I’m your second favorite girl in the world then?” I giggled as I tilted my head to the side.

  “Don’t tell Sofie, but you’re actually number one,” Finn smiled as he put his arms around my waist, hugging me close to him.

  I dramatically gasped, “Finn McAllister, you’re jugging two girls as your favorite?”

  “Only when Sofie is around, but she can’t make me happy as much as you can,” he smirked, and I knew exactly what he meant.

  “You feel a little more than happy to me,” I teased as I ground myself against the bulge in his jeans.

  He groaned quietly, “If you aren’t careful, I might have to fuck you against the rental car.”

  I kissed his lips quickly, “As much as I would love that right now, I don’t think your mother’s neighbors would enjoy a show.”

  “You are probably right. So, my room tonight?” He win
ked at me bringing his lips back close to mine.

  “I’ll be there,” I grinned and covered his mouth with mine.

  Finn’s mother, ever the believer of not sleeping together until you were married, required me and Finn to stay in separate rooms even though we were engaged. She even believed that Finn slept on the couch while I was staying with him shortly after we started dating. Apparently, Finn and I were good at having really quiet sex when we needed to because she didn’t notice a thing as we fucked just across the hall from her during her visit.

  “Finn Walker, just because it is your birthday tomorrow does not mean you get out of helping your mother set the table,” his mother called out from the porch, a pink floral apron around her waist and a wooden spoon in her hand. Could this place get anymore southern cliché?

  He rolled his eyes after he ended our kiss, “Yes, ma’am.”

  Finn took my suitcase while I practically forced him to let me carry his duffle bag because my bag alone required two hands. My man was a true southern gentleman. When we joined his mother on the porch she scolded him for making me carry his bag, but I quickly jumped to his defense. She let it slide as she hugged me before leading me into the house with Finn right behind us.

  “There’s my new sister-in-law!” A female grinned as she carried a baby on her hip.

  I took that as she was Violet and the blonde haired blue-eyed girl in her arms, that looked like an exact replica of her mother, was Esmeralda.

  “Violet, right?” I asked as she gave me the best hug that she could as she held Esme.

  “I see that Finn gave you a crash course on his family members. Serves him right after the last one,” Violet gave him a teasing glance.

  “What happened with Natalie?”

  “You’d think that after two years of dating, she would have at least known our names or seen a picture of the family,” Violet responded as she bounced Esme on her hip.
