Chapter 18- Finn’s Surprise

Finn had been Acting very strange when they met up earlier for pre-drinks at The Anchor with the rest of the crew, He was like a Cheshire cat grinning all the time,  He was up to something for sure- Zane was certain of that. It was ever since he saw Finn talking to Ella outside school, why what was that i***t talking to her for anyway ?.

“Where is the birthday boy ? He is missing his own party” Tyrell moaned to Max 

He had a point. Where was Finn? 

“He said something about needing to pick up some more beer” Max replied bluntly obviously not that bothered.

Zane looked round the Beach and drew his brows together ,There were plenty of fully stocked cooler boxes and the party had not long started so there was plenty to go round.

“For f***s sake. I’ll call him” Zane grumbled taking his phone from his pocket. 

Just as he put it up to his ear Lucas’ car pulled up and Finn was first to step out.

“So much for more beer your back empty handed moron !” Tyrell shouted over 

“Ah not quite” Finn said with a sneaky wink reaching for the side Of the car.

As he opened the car door out Climbed a very shy and scared looking Ella and Bethany also accompanied by Josh.

Shit. No, no, NO. She is not here ! And what the f**k is she doing with Lucas and Finn?

These thoughts were circulating around Zane’s head. He had to blink twice to make sure his eyes weren’t deceiving him. His heart started to race . It didn’t help she was looking good...TOO good. Dressed in high waisted navy shorts and an off the shoulder white top , her hair was up in a messy bun showing off too much flesh for Zane’s liking. She instantly caught the eyes of other guys on the beach - although she was completely oblivious to this .The other people there had stopped talking and now all eyes were on Ella and Bethany. Zane’s grip tightened on the can causing it to crush in his hands echoing around them. He didn't want her here. She couldn't be here.

“Right everyone I invited some of Zane’s friends from his new school , more the merrier I say” Finn looked in Zane’s direction with a massive smirk plastered across his face looking very pleased with himself that he had pulled his plan off. He was loving this ! And at that moment everything all became clear , this explained Finn’s strange behaviour and constant grinning. Zane returned  a glare with a promise behind his eyes of serious repercussions. Not that this seemed to bother Finn or he was just really good at hiding it . 

“Zane you didn’t tell us you had such attractive friends” Tyrell had quickly forgiven Finn and had other matters on his mind. Tyrells eyes were Slowly  trailing over both girls,

“SHUT UP!” Zane barked , standing up he marched over to Finn grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to the side . “We need to talk.” 

Finn knew a grilling was coming his way and he would have a lot to explain. 

“Well Actually I was just about to -“ 

“NOW!” Zane Boomed

The two of them walked away from the group with Finn now being dragged by his collar. He was preparing himself for a possible beating when an idea popped into his head. 

“Remember I am the birthday boy today so you can’t do anything to me on my birthday”

“I don’t give a damn! What are f**k are you playing at ?” Zane spat out

Finn was in his usual playful mood “I don’t know what your on about “ smiling back 

Zane shot him a glare to signify that he was not in the mood for messing around.

“Alright , alright , look I just thought it would be a good idea to invite some new people and I saw you talking to Ella that day and since you don’t really have many conversations with girls I thought ..you know ...you might like her and her friend is fit too !”

“What ? She’s just someone from class...nothing more” he sighed

Finn raised a brow , he wasn’t convinced.

“Oh well ...in that case then I guess you won’t mind them getting to know her” he pointed his head over to the group where the girls were sitting with Josh and some of the others. Jack -one of Finns party regulars was sitting next to Ella clearly trying to engage with her by edging a bit closer. 

A Low growl escaped  Zanes lips, He was not going to let it bother him, like he said she was just a classmate , she didn't mean anything. He didn’t like this unsettling feeling which he got whenever she was around but at the same time his uncles words came into his head “ she may come in use to us” .

He had to go, he had to be away from her just now.  Marching over to where another group of girls were sitting and eyeing him up, He took one of their hands and asked if she wanted a walk , he knew Lisa was always up for a bit of fun. He didn’t need to ask twice as she stood up and joined him.
