They walked out of the coffee shop hand in hand – not in a relationship, but more as friends.
"So Rach, how have you been?"
He could see she tensed up at the use of the nickname Rach. Nobody had really called her that since High School
"Ive been good! I got a role on broadway living the dream and working part time at the school. What about you?"
"Ive been managing. I got a football scholarship but turned it down. I studied Music and Theatre instead and I now run Mckinley High's Glee Club."
"The same Glee Club where we met"
"Yeah. It brings back memories every time I walk into the classroom."
"So – uh…what are you doing here in New York?"
"well…uh…its kind of complicated."
"Im sure, I can understand" she replied, her voice calming
"Well, ive been having a little trouble."
"May I ask with what?"
"You."
"oh!" her voice raised a little and she looked him straight in the eyes
"Yeah! Don't take it the wrong way! I actually have been thinking about you a lot lately"
"you have?"
"yeah – I have ever since Graduation!"
"FINN! That was Ten Years Ago!"
"And you see my problem. I can't get you off my mind"
"Do you want me off your mind?" she replied – her smile turning into a slight smirk
"of course not! Its great having you on my mind!"
"I'm glad I made an impact!" she giggled and he smiled. This was the best they had gotten along since the whole Santana incident in High School. Their senior year was mainly exams – so the glee club spent less and less time together. Finn and Quinn were still dating at this point which meant Rachel never had a chance.
"So Are you still with Quinn?" Rachel Blurted out – not knowing exactly why.
"No! She dumped me!"
"What? Why? When?" She asked, combing her fingers through his hair
"Well…It was when I told her that I was still in love with you!"
Rachel took her hand away from his hair and sat down at the nearest bench. Finn walked over and sat beside her.
"What?" she asked in shock, and surprise, just to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
"I'm still in love with you Rachel!"
She couldn't help but smile.
He smiled and gently combed his fingers through her hair.
"Good because I'm still in love with you too."
He smiled at her and she moved a little closer slightly grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him closer. Her breathing got heavier and she sat up a little – coming eye level with him.
She pressed her lips to his and started kissing him. It didn't take him long to react. He combed his fingers through her hair again and kissed back
"Finally" Finn thought to himself
