September 12, 2009

24 year old Rachel Berry has just graduated from college and was now being offered the role of Elphaba in the show "Wicked". Rachel couldn't have been more proud of herself.

Her manager and best friend Santana, decided it was time to go out and celebrate both her graduation from college and her starring role that she was sure, would get a tony. They were now getting ready at Santana's apartment.

"Berry, hurry up! Brits and Quinn are waiting for us and I wants to get my party on." Santana's said, who was all ready.

She could hear Rachel laugh and then Rachel stepped out.

"Hot damn, Berry! Those boys at the club aren't going to know what hit them! You look hot!" Santana said with a smirk.

Rachel smiled and looked down at her dress. It went just above her knee and it hugged her waist and had a sweet heart neckline. It had thin purple straps. Her makeup made her eyes look smoky and her hair was hanging in soft curls. She was gorgeous.

"You pick one beautiful dress Santana. I actually approve of this look." Said Rachel as she hugged her friend/Manager.

Santana Laughed. "At least you don't look like a grandma Berry. Remember those animal sweaters you wore in high school?"

Rachel frowned a little. She really did like her sweaters. But when she moved to New York and met Santana at NYADA, Santana insisted of giving her friend a whole new makeover.

"I still liked those animal sweaters Santana." Rachel said in a matter of fact voice. She wasn't about to tell her that she kept a few of them in her bedroom in her apartment and still wore them around the house from time to time.

Santana chuckled. "Whatever, Berry. Let's go!"

Before Rachel could say anything, Santana dragged her out of her apartment and into the car.

The club was crowded. But it was a Saturday Night. But Rachel, Santana, Quinn and Brits were having a really good time. About an hour or so after they got into the club, all the young women were on the dance floor. Rachel was dancing with Quinn when she felt a tap on her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw it was Santana, who had a big smirk on her face.

"Don't look now Berry, but I see a pretty young man who looks like he wants to eat you."

Rachel sighed. She wasn't ready for a relationship. Especially after having a relationship that ended very badly with a guy named Brody whom she meet during school.

"Santana…" But before Rachel could say anything, Santana cut her off.

"He's coming this way!" Britney said with a huge grin on her face.

Rachel felt her shoulder being tapped on and Rachel turned around. Her mouth dropped.

Standing in front of her, was a VERY good looking man. He was way taller than Rachel. He was wearing a blue sweater that hugged his body, perfectly and black dress pant. He had a face dusting of freckles and messy but still beautiful, pile of brown hair on top of his head. He had a half smile that showed his dimple as looked down at Rachel. His eyes were hazel and looked nervous as he started to talk.

"Hi. I'm Finn."

Oh sweet lord, his voice sounded manly but sweet. Rachel kept staring at him until she felt Santana pinch her, causing her to jump away from her trance.

"R-Rachel," she said quickly.

She looked down on her feet for a second to collect herself. And to make sure she wasn't blushing from that embarrassing moment. She then looked up at him again and held her hand out to shake.

"My name is Rachel. Rachel Berry. It's nice to meet you."

Finn half smiled again at her as he shook her hand.

"Finn Hudson." He said.

After a minute, it suddenly occurred to them that they were still shaking hands. Finn let go of her hand and looked down for a second. Rachel could have sworn she saw him blush a little after he let go of her hand. She found it rather cute.

Finn finally looked up.

"Would you like to get a drink with me?" He asked nervously.

Rachel eyes widened. Did he actually just ask her to hang out?

"Excuse me Mr. Hudson." Yeah she already knew his first name but considering she was going to be a famous broadway star, she had to get used to being formal to people she hardly knew or didn't know. Even to someone as hot as Finn Hudson.

She turned back to Santana, Britney and Quinn who all had smirks on their faces.

"Gets some Berry! That Jolly Green Giant just asked you to hang out. God only knows you need to get laid." Santana said as she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Santana!" Rachel exclaimed.

"What?" Santana said unphased by Rachel's outburst.
"It's true."

Thankfully Quinn and Britney stepped in. Britney put an arm around Rachel's shoulders and squeezed comfortably and Quinn did the same on her other side.

"Finn seems like nice young man. Why don't you go get a drink and talk to him? We'll still be here when you get back." Quinn said comfortably.

"Yeah if he does anything that makes you uncomfortable, I'll send Lord Tubbington loose on him." Brittney said seriously.

Rachel sighed and looked over at Finn, who know was now talking a young man in a very fashionable dress suit. But he never left the dance floor where he asked her to get a drink with him. She couldn't deny that she was interested in having a drink with him.

Rachel sighed and took a deep breath to relax. She smiled an easy smile on her face.

"All right." She said and she turned around and started walking towards Finn.

She could hear the Quinn, Santana and Brittney all giggling as she walked up towards Finn.

The guy that was talking to Finn had disappeared to go to the bathroom by the time she got to him. When Finn saw her, he gave her that half grin that made Rachel stomach flutter.

"I would love to have a drink with you Mr. Hudson."

Finn half smile turned into a full grin.

"Awesome." Finn said gently.

Rachel beamed at him and they started walking to the bar. A guy with blonde hair was working there and stopped what he was doing when he saw Finn and Rachel sitting there.

"Hey Finn! Long time no see!" Said the guy with the blonde hair as he and Finn gave each other a high five.

"Hey Sam."

Sam looked over at Rachel who was just watching the interaction.

"And who is this Finn?"

"My Name is Rachel. Rachel Berry" Said Rachel as she smiled at Sam and then Finn.

Sam looked between Finn and Rachel with a smirk.

"What can I get you two?" Sam asked.

"I'll have a glass of white wine." Rachel said.

"Same." Finn Said.

Sam came back a few minutes later with their drinks and placed them down and went back to work after hearing a thanks from both Finn and Rachel.

Rachel took a sip of her drink and looked down at it. Why is she feeling so nervous? She thought. Sure, she spent time with other attracted men. Why does she feel that Finn was different?

Finn interrupted her train of thought and he asked her a question.

"So are you from New York?"

Rachel looked up at him and saw him giving her a easy half smile which seemed to calm her nerves.

"No. I'm actually from a small town called Lima in Ohio. I raised there by my fathers and then I moved up here for school at NYADA."

"What did you got to school for?" Finn asked curiously.

"I wanted to be a Broadway start ever since I was introduced to Barbra Streisand's movie Funny Girl."

" I never seen that movie." Finn said.

"Well it's one of the best movies ever! My Fathers introduced it to me when I was little girl and ever since I told them I was going to be a Broadway star, they supported me. I wouldn't be anywhere without them."

They sat there for a moment to take a sip of their drinks. When Rachel looked up, she saw Finn smiling at her. And it wasn't just a regular smile. She could see his hazel eyes sparkling in awe.

"I'm actually about to start rehearsal for the Broadway Show, "Wicked". I can't believe this is actually is happening."

Finn eyes grew wide and Rachel felt that is she looked at him for so long, she would surely melt.

"Do you feel ready?" Finn asked.

"I think so. I mean, I went to college to learn how to be an amazing actress and singer. Why can I not?" Rachel said rather quickly.

Finn Chuckled.

"You're going to be a star Rachel Berry. You have an amazing voice"

Rachel blushed. "Finn, you never even heard me sing! How could you even know if I'm good?"

Finn shrugged his shoulders. "I just know."

Rachel felt her check blush even harder this time. She surely felt that her face was lighten up like a lollipop now.

"Thanks Finn." She whispered.

"You're welcome Rach." Finn said.

Rachel bit her lip at the new nick name that sounded like it came easily from his lips. After a few sips of her drink, Rachel looked up at Finn again.

"Well enough about me, tell me about you! Where are you from? What's your family life like?" Rachel asked.

They spend about two hours just talking about anything and everything. Rachel learned about his family life. He had a brother, well step brother, named Kurt, who was gay but they got along well even though they didn't agree with anything. He had lost his father in a war but he had an amazing mother named Carole who he adored and his Step-father Burt who he felt was a father figure to him.

There conversation came into a halt when the guy in the fashion suit, who Rachel saw earlier talking to him, came over to Finn.

"There you are Finn. Let's go! Blaine is outside waiting."

"All Kurt. Relax." Finn said.

Kurt turned to notice Rachel sitting there next to Finn. He pushed Finn out of the way in order to meet this new girl his brother was talking to.

"Hello, my name is Kurt Hummel. What might your name be?" Kurt smiled.

Rachel gave him a beaming smile and held her hand out.

"Rachel. Rachel Berry. It's nice to meet you Kurt. Finn has told me a lot about you." Rachel said formally.

Kurt took her hand both of his and shook it gently and then looked at Finn and Rachel and gave a smile at how Finn was smiling widely at Rachel.

"Well, I hope my brother has been a gentleman to you Miss Rachel."

Finn groaned while Rachel giggled.

"He certainly has Kurt." Rachel said between giggles.

"Glad to hear that I've taught him something!" Kurt said with pride in his voice.

Finn chuckled and put his hand through Kurt's hair making Kurt gasp.

"FINN HUDSON! YOU KNOW I DON"T LIKE IT WHEN YOU MESS UP MY HAIR! THIS TOOK ME AN HOUR TO GET IT RIGHT" Kurt yelled.

Finn laughed and messed up Kurt's hair again.

"Give it a rest man." Finn said jokingly.

"Well say goodbye Finn, I have to be up early for a fashion designer meeting tomorrow and I need my beauty sleep!" Kurt said stomping off.

Finn stepped closer to Rachel, who was laughing so hard at the interaction that just happened between both brothers. Finn help but chuckle at the look of amusement on her face. She was just adorable.

"Your brother definitely has a way about him doesn't he?" Rachel asked.

"He sure does." Finn said. The next thing that came out of Finn mouth came out very nervously as Finn rubbed the back of his neck.

"Rachel, would you like to go out on a date with me?" Finn asked with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Rachel though for a moment. Yeah, she was scared but she definitely felt something with Finn and she really wanted to get to know him better.

"I would love to." Rachel said sweetly as she took out a pen out of her purse to write her number down. When she was done, she handed it to Finn who held her hand for a moment. Before Rachel knew what was happening, she felt a pair of lips kiss her cheek causing her to blush.

"Good night Rachel." Finn whispered in her ear.

"Good night Finn." Rachel said quietly.

With a grin, Finn left the club leaving Rachel there alone in her thoughts. She definitely couldn't wait to hear and see Finn again.
