'I love you, Finn,' she said as she cupped his cheek and gave him a sweet kiss.
'I love you too, Rach' he answered, returning her kiss.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Rachel opened her eyes and looked at her alarm clock, not really paying attention to the time because of her dream. She sighed. If only that dream were real. She glanced at her alarm clock again. It was 8 am . . .
'Oh shoot! I'm gonna be late," she said.
She was about to jump out of her bed but before that, she looked at the picture taped on the wall beside her bed. She sighed and gave it a kiss. Finn Hudson: one of the hottest bachelors in New York. She had never been this crazy about a guy before. Well, she had, but the moron cheated on her. Ugh. Why did she have to remember that thing? She loved that guy so much but he just broke her heart. She almost thought he was her soulmate. She grew up in New York with him, they both loved to write and they wanted to have their own magazine company. But when he broke her heart, all those dreams were crushed. Now she's ready to start again, maybe she won't be able to have her own magazine company, but at least she has the chance to work in one, that's a start, plus she has Finn. There's just something about the guy that makes her heart jump. She liked to believe he would marry him someday, after a proposal in Paris while they eat at the fanciest restaurant there. And after they got married, they'd have cute babies running around their mansion. . . .Okay, maybe that was too much, but a girl can dream, right?
But Rachel Berry didn't settle for dreams. She made sure that all of her dreams become reality. Now she just had to figure out how to make this dream come true.
She ran to the bathroom, took a shower, and ate breakfast within thirty minutes. She was so excited that she would finally meet Finn today. She chose the best clothes she had—to impress him, of course. She took a deep breath before leaving her apartment.
After thirty minutes, she finally arrived. Her heart was beating so fast. She couldn't control her excitement. She was finally going to meet him. He'd finally know she existed. Before entering the building, she noticed a limo that stopped in front of her. When the door of the limo opened, her heart stopped. She tried so hard not to run up to him and hug him. It was Finn. She wanted to say hi but it seemed like her whole body froze too. She didn't even notice when he walked past her into the building.
'Miss, are you okay?' the guard said.
'Oh yes. Thank you,' she replied.
She finally entered the building, pressed thirteen in the elevator and patiently waited. When she finally reached the floor she felt like she might pass out. She was excited before but now she was just nervous. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the people there, especially him. She took a deep breath, reached for the door handle, and entered.
"What do you want?" she heard someone yell.
Suddenly, a woman, about her age, walked towards the door while crying and handed her a cup of coffee. She was shocked. She didn't know how to react and she certainly didn't know why she handed her a coffee. She walked into the room, still holding the cup of coffee. She was so busy looking for someone to ask whom should she talk to because she wanted to apply that she didn't notice when the door behind her opened and a man strode through.
"Where the hell is my coffee?" yelled the man.
She flinched and turned around. She couldn't believe it. She looked at him with wide eyes and felt like she was going to faint.
"S-s-sir, coffee?" she said, handing the coffee to him and trying not spill it because her hands were shaking.
"And who are you?" he said.
"Rachel Berry, sir. I'm here to apply as your editorial assistant." she replied, her hand still trembling.
He looked at her for a minute, then took the coffee. "You're hired!" He left, slamming the door closed.
She couldn't believe it. She had finally talked to him. Face to face. She was so happy that she literally wanted to jump and scream.
Then someone tapped her shoulder. "Are you sure you want to work here?" asked the woman.
"Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't want to work anywhere else!" she replied with a smile.
"Well, okay then. I'm Mercedes, that is Kurt, Tina, her husband Mike, Sam, and Blaine."
Rachel smiled as they all waved at her.
"Are you really sure you want to work here?" Mercedes asked her again.
"Why do you keep asking me that? I am one hundred percent sure that I want to work here," she assured.
"I just don't want you to regret your decision," Mercedes said.
"What makes you think I'll regret it?" she asked. She didn't understand. Why did Mercedes seem like she didn't want Rachel to work there?
"Finn isn't really the greatest boss in the world," Mercedes whispered.
"What do you mean? I think he's amazing! I've read so many things about him and I'm positive I'm going to like him as my boss," she said, smiling.
"You're a stalker, aren't you?" Kurt said.
"No, I'm not! But I might have a little crush on him . . .," she said, her smile growing.
"A little?" Tina said.
"Okay, a lot. I'm in love with him," she admitted, placing her hand dramatically on her chest.
"Oh boy, you chose the wrong guy to fall in love with. I'm telling you, he's bad. And when I say bad, I mean really bad," Mercedes told her.
"I don't think he is. Why don't you just all believe in people's goodness? I know he's a wonderful person and I'm going to prove that to all of you," she said confidently.
"Uh huh, you do that," Mercedes said, looking at Rachel as if she were crazy.
Rachel just smiled at her. "By the way, where is my table?"
Mercedes pointed to the table in a corner. Rachel crossed the room and sat down at her chair and then realized that beside her was a glass, and through that glass she could see Finn. She looked at him and sighed. "He is so hot," she thought, only to realize that she said that out loud. She turned around to find her co-workers staring at her.
'Oops!'
They just laughed at her and shook their heads as they returned to their work.
After a few hours, it was finally time to go home. She was so glad that she finally got to work with him. While getting ready for bed, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She honestly couldn't wait for tomorrow.
