Hey everyone, I got a lot of Story Alerts just so everyone knows I am not using the promos for very much. Maybe just Finchel stuff with the spoilers. Thank you all it means so much to me so here is the next chapter. Enjoy.
Finn was at his locker the next day grabbing books for his next class when he saw Quinn with a blue slushy in her hand. "Quinn!" Her head whipped around to face her boyfriend, "Oh, hey Finn." She said in an oblivious voice. "What are you doing with that slushy?"
"Oh nothing, just going to drink it."
"Don't lie to me."
"Excuse me?"
"It's for Rachel isn't it?"
"So what if it is?"
"She is our teammate. Have you forgotten how she was there for you last year?"
"Why are you defending her? I'm your girlfriend; you should be defending me, not her."
"No."
"No what?"
"No you aren't my girlfriend anymore."
"You are breaking up with me?"
"Yup."
"Fine." She turned on her heel and walked right up to Rachel's locker where she was standing and dumped the slushy on top of her head. Rachel blinked quickly trying to get the cold corn syrup out of her eyes. She grabbed her emergency slushy duffel bag and closed her locker; she was about to slip on the slushy that was on the ground when she felt two big strong arms catch her before she hit the ground. She turned around to see Finn staring down at her. "Hey, come on lets go get you cleaned up."
She started to walk again and once again almost slipped on the slushy on the ground. Finn caught her again except this time he picked her up bridal style and carried her to the girl's bathroom. The whole time he was carrying her she was arguing with him "Finn put me down, you are getting covered in slushy."
"It's fine I don't mind."
"I am perfectly capable to walk by myself Finn."
"Really, then how come you almost slipped twice?"
"Fine."
Finn gave her his lopsided grin that he reserved especially for her. She felt her heart melt a little inside. He walked into the girl's bathroom still carrying her bridal style. Thankfully there was no one in the bathroom except for them. The just stood in the girl's bathroom just looking into each other's eyes. "Finn?"
"Mmmhmmm."
"You can put me down now, I am getting you covered in slushy."
"Oh right, sorry." He slowly set her down on the ground handed her the duffel bag as she began to get to work. She grabbed a chair that was in the corner of the bathroom and set it down in front of one of the sinks and stuck her head under the tap in attempt to get the slushy out of her hair. "Here sit back I got it." She relaxed in the chair and stuck her head under the tap. He gently got the sticky mess out of her hair. He took a bit of shampoo in his hands and worked it into her hair. He then washed it out and did the same with the conditioner. She sat up when he was finished and he wrapped a towel around her head. "Thanks." She said to him.
"Don't mention it."
She grabbed her fresh change of clothes from her bag and walked into one of the stalls to get changed as he began to clean up. He looked in her bag and saw a tiny hair dryer. He smiled to himself. She was always so prepared. He picked up the little hair dryer and plugged it into the wall waiting for Rachel to come out of the stall so he could dry her hair. She walked of the stall wearing dark wash jeans, and a baggy long sleeved pink shirt with her hair still wrapped up in a towel. She had never looked more beautiful to him. "Hey, come here I need to dry your hair so you don't have to walk around all day with it wet."
She beamed her 1000-watt smile at him. "Thanks."
She stood in front of the mirror as he turned on the blow dryer and began to run his hands through her hair to dry it.
After out 15 minutes her hair was dry. "There you go, all done."
"Thanks Finn, I owe you one."
"No you don't."
She put all the stuff back into the bag and they walked back to her locker. There was still slushy on the round in front of her locker and she didn't notice it so she slipped… again and Finn was still there to catch her. She began to blush. She put the stuff away in her locker. He didn't know what he was doing but all of the sudden he blurted out, "Hey since we missed lunch do you maybe want to go get some food from somewhere."
The stunned look on her face had him scared until she smiled and said, "I'd love to."
The walked to his truck together and he opened the door for her. "Thanks." She smiled at him. Then he made sure she was in before he closed the door and walked around to the driver's side of the car. He put his keys in the ignition and drove out of the school parking lot.
