She braces herself as he strides towards her. He's going to be furious with her, ask her why she's ruining her life marrying Finn, a question one too many people have asked her. He'll try to talk sense into her, she won't listen. She loves Finn. End of story. But as he approaches his face coming into view, memories come flooding back. The good and the bad. Prom, Madonna week, the egging, their first meeting. She loves Finn. "Rachel" he states, she snaps out of her thoughts and into the present. "Jesse, you've done a wonderful job with vocal adrenaline" she tells him trying to keep the conversation light and not about her. "Thank you. New directions are, mediocre at best" he tells her, she nods. Why did she expect special treatment from him? Why did she ever expect for him to single her talent out again after what she did to him, why did she still hope he loved her?

"I feel that the new directions have improved immensely, I've been giving vocal lessons to Finn and his voice is stronger and I think my team has a very good shot at winning nationals" she tells him, he scoffs. "As long as you don't repeat last year's I think that tenth place ribbon will be all yours" he smirks. Her mouth pops open, she hates his. Being insulted by him. It's not like being taunted by Santana or even Quinn, it's different. She always thought they had a special relationship. She closes her mouth and grits her teeth, her dentist says it one of her worst habits. "Finn is a wonderful person, and singer. The new directions will when and vocal adrenaline will come in second" she tells him, giving his a once over and storming off.

Damn it. It was supposed to go this way, they were supposed to talk and she'd fall into his arms again, she was not supposed to get angry. He quickly abandons his plan, he takes a few strides and grabs her hand, pulling her to himself, causing their lips to collide. Rachel had always felt fireworks with Finn, but jesse? It was like a nuclear explosion. She found herself breathless pulling away from him, she searched his eyes, searched his face for something to feed off of. "You're a star Rachel" he whispers in her ear, it sends a shiver down her back; Finn has called her a star before, even a bright gassy ball of light. But hearing Jesse say it had some sort of reassurance behind it, like he truly knows. She re-connects their lips, trying to close the space between them, wanting him more than she's ever wanted anyone in her entire life.

It's certainly not that romantic of an atmosphere. The back of Jesse's range rover does have a certain edginess to it though. His fingers are nimble are has her out of her dress in what seems like a blink of an eye, she helps him take off his suit jacket, tossing it in the front of the car, they keep their lips connecting as much as they can, she un buttons his shirt as she feels his hands on the back of her bra, he takes his hands off of her to get his pants off. She feels vulnerable, what if her thinks she isn't beautiful as he thought? What if her body isn't good enough? What if he sends her texts about her boobs like Finn does? He's clad in his boxers, her bra is still on but not clasped, her underwear still remaining. He can sense her weariness. "we don't have to" he whispers to her, she shakes her head, she wants him. Then it strikes him, she's insecure. He smiles at the girl before him, he leans in and leaves a trail of kisses down her neck, he feels her relax, he puts his hands on her bra, pulling the straps down, and removing her bra. Leaving her topless. "You're beautiful"

She's never felt so great, she lays next to jesse, one of Jesse's cd playing in the background. He turns himself to face her, "how do you feel?" he asks her tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "Loved, wanted, wonderful, I feel great" she tells him, he strokes her cheek. "As you should, as you always should feel" he tells her, she snuggles into him. Even for being just her second time, it felt like it should have been the first. It was so perfect, so natural. He was careful with her too, he was perfect. "I don't think I've ever loved someone more than you" he whispers to her, she smiles at him, giving his a quick peck. "I love you too"

They stay in his car. She puts her bra and panties back on and he slips his boxers back on. They sit and talk for what seems like a minute, but was actually a couple of hours. "I know this won't change anything" he sighs, she runs her hand through his hair, "I know, jesse i- I love you" she tells him, he nods. "I know" he sighs, his face falling into a frown. "But you still have me now, and look what you did to me, you made me some kind of ravenous teenage girl" she teases him; a smirk replaces his frown, "just how ravenous are you?"
