'Screech.' A loud tires' screech sounded before the car came to a halt.

The woman on the road was scared but she breathed a sigh when the car stopped at a safe distance without crossing the line. Aria peeked out of the window and apologized, "Sorry. In a hurry."

​​

The lady quickly hurried away while Finn realized the force of the car jerking to stop caused him to hit the dashboard and they were alive before opening his eyes.

"You damn crazy girl." He snapped at her rubbing the little bump on his forehead.

Aria anyhow ignored him and his words before taking a left turn in the junction. She cued him to sit back comfortably instead of on the edge because that's what had caused him to reach the dashboard.

He really wanted to know who taught her driving. Her accuracy was too cool when slamming on the brake or picking up speed. However, he sat like a grim man out of hell.

As soon as they reached the airport, she left the car in the middle of the road and ran inside the airport. He was parking his car when he received an airport entry ticket message from Aria.

He too quickened and reached the lounge from where he could see her crying in Alan's arms and also hitting him for planning to leave without telling her.

Alan had kissed her forehead, embraced her, coaxed her but her tears rolled down making the man feel helpless other than burying her in his embrace as he heard her complain.

'Wait? How did she go to the VIP taxing area?' Then Finn saw a ticket on the floor and his lips twitched realizing she bought a ticket to city B just to meet Alan.

Anyhow, he smiled knowing she could do anything to spend even a minute with her man but he had doubts. Is she so close to Alan because she didn't have her father? Or would she be the same if her father was alive?

He couldn't get an answer. He applauded Alan Morgan's unconditional patience towards her for her all forms. Mischief or solemnity, meek or strong, smiling or crying, he tends to her without a hint of irritation or annoyance at her.

Finn stood there for fifteen minutes watching one coax her broken heartedly and another one cried her eyes out nonstop before Finn understood why Alan wanted to leave silently and the dumb girl won't cry if Alan wasn't there.

The airport staff had to plead till the last minute when Aria finally let go of Alan and even pushed him to leave as she sniffled when she noticed him unwilling to leave her in tears.

Finn heard her yell at Alan threateningly, "Don't you dare leave without telling me next time."

She was emotional about Alan's departure and there was also a hint of anger for lying to her even though she knew he did it for her.

Finn understood Love isn't perfect. They have to face the problem, solve it together instead of getting angry or showing their back.

Finn had thought it was over but she raised her arms and the man who had entered the boarding line returned to give her a last hug and whispered something before leaving her back on the floor.

Finn knew Alan wasn't the same cold demon that the world knows. The dumb girl and mystic man really suited to be together seeing them together.

Breathing a long sigh when Alan left, Finn brought the car to the exit by the time Aria looked like a totally new person after getting fresh in the airport.

He could find her dimed eyes with a hint of longing unwilling to go back to the empty villa. The thought of seeing her back to the same depressed Aria made him quiver and looked at her when she hopped in the car.

First-line she said was, "I think either you or I can't drive for three months."

Finn: "..."

He was speechless hearing her still thinking to make him the scapegoat when she was the one who drove. "You knew the charges?" He asked in disbelief.

Aria shrugged, "They will seize the car if they find it speeding again."

Finn wanted to scold her but snorted. At least he was glad she was talking unlike distancing herself away from him and behaving like a stranger.

Mentally exhausted and missing Alan, Aria had dozed off when the cops stopped the car.

Gritting his teeth, Finn couldn't stop them from taking his driving license away. He had planned to drive her when she was running to her car and the result of it would be the same so he didn't wake up the sleeping girl to submit her driving license but he had no choice other than waking her up when his driving license was taken away.

Aria was giggling all the way looking at dark-faced Finn as she drove his car, "Fluffy is red in anger."

Finn tossed her hand away from his head and growled, "You better drive me home and college if you don't want me to strangle you to death."

But that made the girl laugh aloud, irritating him more.

---

The possible coldness he was expecting from Aria didn't appear, instead, she was the same with him excluding her excitement and urge to run home.

When Aria prepared dinner that night, she dialed his number, "Wanna join me for dinner? Or send ity to your place?"

Confused, "You know how to cook?"

"Yeah! Wait, you thought Alan was cooking last week?"

Finn who left his villa said the truth, "Then what? You and cooking don't sync." He heard her laugh evilly before the call was hung up.

He regretted provoking her when she closed the glass door of the kitchen and teased him with the food making him drool. 'Damn this girl.'

"Alia, open the door." She tasted the first dish and purposefully over-exaggerated the expression of yummy to make him regret.

Ten minutes later, he was tired of requesting her so he threatened, "I am breaking the door."

Aria couldn't believe he craves home food so much that he can't ignore her torture and leave.

Aria demanded, "Allow me to call you Fluffy."

Well, the name is cute but it would be embarrassing if called in public. Thinking of a plan, he pushed his demand resolutely, "You shouldn't tease me with food."

Aria giggled and opened the door then Finn continued his words passing by her, "White Furball!"

Aria: "..."

'I will call her Furball and tease too.'

He dug into the dinner without the need of taking dishes to the dining table and sat on the kitchen's barstool making himself comfortable.
