Why was he so nervous? He went on dates all of the time! But somehow this girl seemed different…she seemed perfect but he knew she wasn't which made her that much more flawless. Finn put on his nice, plaid, blue shirt. When you're 24 and you don't have much of a life other than football (since you don't have time for it) you don't have nice clothes. Then he regretted even considering wearing that on a date and he put on a suit. He was going on a first date with a Broadway star. She would want a guy in a suit to show up at her apartment, not some lunatic in street clothes! He knew what all of those Broadway girls were like after knowing Quinn for so long. He felt like he was ready after three showers and trying on six different things not including four pairs of shoes. Soon he was out the door and on his way to get Rachel Berry. He knocked on her door lightly and nervously and he wasn't even sure if she heard him. But when he was about to knock again, Rachel opened the door. She looked incredible. Her hair was wavy but not curly, her eyes were sparkling under her long, beautiful eye lashes, and she was wearing a short, pink dress that was clingy and lacy. She looked perfect. Now he wanted to kiss her. Oh God, this was gonna be a long night. "You look amazing," Finn finally spit out.
"Thanks, you, too," She smiled. "So where will you be taking me?"
"Um…this way," He reached out and took her hand in his. Just that one touch and he was crazy for her. Their hands fit together like puzzle pieces. She was that piece that was still hiding in the box, waiting for him to find her. And her hand was so soft, soft as a blanket. And she kept smiling her beautiful smile. Was it too soon to tell her he's in love with her? Yes. Keep it cool, Finn. He told himself. "So how long have you been on Broadway?"
"This is my first big show. I just got out of college." She explains while glancing at their intertwined fingers.
"Where did you go? I just got out of college, too," He told her honestly. "I went to NYU."
"NYADA," She grinned. "So how long have you been on the Giants?"
"I just got drafted this year," Finn nodded. "How long have you been on Broadway?"
"Since I got out of college," She giggled. "I was offered an audition for Spring Awakening and once I got the part, I decided that's where I wanted to be."
"Well, you're the most amazing singer I've ever heard in my life," He opens the car door for her and she smiles before letting go of his hand.

The drive went by quickly. Rachel only lived a half of a block away from the restaurant Finn was taking her to. And then there was a long, amazing, romantic date. Finn fell in love that night. So did Rachel.
But it was only the first date. He couldn't tell her he loved her. "I had an amazing time," She told him as they walked outside.
"I don't want it to end," He agreed. "I really want to kiss you."
"I really want to kiss you, too," She replied. He leaned down and touched his lips softly to hers, but it became deeper and more passionate by the minute. They continued making out with her on his car as the sun set behind the clouds. "My place?" She pulled away for just long enough to ask. They both hurried into the car, unable to contain their smiles. When they reached Rachel's townhouse, Finn pushed the door open slightly and she pulled him inside, ripping off his shirt in the process. Both of them were unable to focus on anything besides each other.
He left an hour later, knowing they just met and it was wrong. He told her he would see her again soon, not knowing if it was actually true or if he felt bad for doing that to her. He hated himself for days after that. He wondered what to do. Should he call her? Should he go see her? He wondered if he should forget. He had slept with so many women over his years as an NFL star. But something about Rachel made his head go crazy. She was perfect. Her body, her smile, her eyes, those legs…
But he got a text a few weeks later.
Meet me at Central Park Friday night. I'll be there and I need to talk to you. –Rachel
He wondered what on earth she wanted to talk to him about but he went anyways, just because he needed to see her.
Here you go! Thanks for reading! Update coming soon :)
