As you pulled up to Finn’s place, he waved to you with his usual bright smile, his tiny notebook sticking out of his jacket pocket. "Ready for this movie, buddy?" he said. But before you could say anything, a familiar voice called out from across the parking lot.

It was one of his co-workers, a girl who’d been obviously crushing on him for a while now. “Hey, Finn!” she waved, walking up with a curious smile. “Who’s this?” she asked, her eyes flickering between the two of you.

Without missing a beat, Finn’s expression changed entirely. "Oh, this?" he said, his tone light but with an odd intensity, “This is my girlfriend!” Before you could even react, Finn leaned over and kissed you, catching you completely off guard. His lips moved with an urgency you hadn’t expected, and when he sucked your tongue gently, it felt as though he’d forgotten the whole world around him.

The girl’s eyes widened in surprise, and you felt Finn’s hand on the back of your neck, keeping you close as if he were making a point.

When he finally pulled away, he gave a sheepish grin, clearly feeling awkward but determined to maintain the act. “See? Totally together,” he said. He shot the girl a quick, nervous glance, as if waiting for her to buy the lie before she nodded awkwardly and walked away.
