Imperfect

Family Matters

Three months had passed, and Finley and I were happier than ever. Our relationship seemed to be going from strength to strength. We had decided to keep it secret from the wider world for a bit longer. It was still too new to risk it. I pulled up outside the new home Jamie and I were renting.

"It's not much, but it's home." I said. I unclipped my seat belt and stepped out of my car. I walked to the boot and opened it. I started grabbing Finley's bags, and he took them off of me. Insisting he carried them himself. I took the lightest one and Finley took the two heaviest. He was in the country for two weeks and we had two long weekends to spend together. I walked to the front door and unlocked it. I pushed it open and called out to see if Jamie was home. When I got no response I smirked to myself. I waited for Fin to come in and closed the door behind him. Once he had put his bags down he turned and pulled me close to him. His arm was wrapped tightly around my waist and I pushed my body against his. I pressed my lips to his in a passionate kiss and tangled my fingers in his hair. I felt his hand sliding slowly down towards my bum and felt it settle. He squeezed firmly and my grip on the back of his shirt tightened. He opened his mouth and our tongues met and began dancing together. I grabbed his hand and led him towards my bedroom. I pushed open the door and pulled him inside. Fin closed the door and then pinned me against it with his body. He began kissing me again and slowly made his way down to my neck. Both of us were breathing heavily and I ran my hands through his soft hair again. His breath was hot against my neck and he whispered seductively

"I've been waiting all month to get back to you. I can't wait to get you out of these clothes." His hands started sliding lower and he toyed with my belt. I tugged the bottom of his black shirt up and pulled it off over his head. I ran my hands over his toned chest and abs, feeling every inch of his bare skin. He shivered slightly under my touch and I kissed him again. He undid my belt and trousers. I allowed them to fall and stepped out of them. He reached around and squeezed my bum again and I groaned slightly. I heard a noise outside and suddenly the front door slammed.

"Shit it's Jamie!" I whispered loudly. I grabbed my jeans and pulled them back on as quickly as I could.

"Claire! Where are you? I have some wine and some amazing news we need to celebrate!" I heard him shout. I heard his footsteps coming towards my room. I quickly pulled my jean's up and did my belt up and Finley pulled his shirt on. The door handle started moving and Fin and I quickly moved away. We stood awkwardly in the middle of the room. Jamie threw open the door and looked between us. "Oh God! I completely forgot!" He said blushing heavily. " Did I interrupt something?" he raised an eyebrow and looked between us both. I knew we looked dishevelled and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes. But it's fine! What's your good news hun?" I asked. "Did you get the job?" Jamie squealed and nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I was wrong about the interview. I got the promotion! I'm so excited I start next week! Well I kind of start next week. I have to train the guy who's taking my position but I'm starting on my new qualification!" I gave him a big hug and Finley rushed to join. Jamie pulled away and popped open the wine. We all cheered and Jamie went to grab some glasses. Finley ran his hands through his hair, in an attempt to tidy it and looked at me. I kissed him on the cheek and whispered sweetly in his ear,

"Later. I promise." Jamie came back into the room and we all toasted to him. It meant he was getting the job of the manager who bullied him. He deserved it. I gave Jamie another hug and we all decided we would go out. Obviously we couldn't go anywhere too public, but luckily we had a cute local pub, where mostly older people went. It was a few minutes from us and it would be the perfect place to go with Finley as less people were likely to recognise him. I quickly got changed out of my casual jeans and t shirt into a cute black dress and some heels. Finley changed into a shirt and also grabbed his sunglasses and hat.
