Finn woke up to the sound of laughter coming from downstairs.
"Kurt! Oh my god!" He heard his girlfriend's voice through her laughter and he had to smile.
He dragged himself out of bed and jumped in the shower, dressing quickly.
His mom gave him an incredulous look when he walked into the kitchen.
"Finn? Are you feeling okay? It's seven o'clock, in the morning." Kurt spoke from his seat at the island.
Rachel giggled from her seat next to him and Finn grinned at her. He sat down next to her and she smiled her million watt smile at him. "Good morning Finn."
"Morning Beautiful." He winked and kissed her quickly, flipping Kurt off as he made his disgust vocal.
"Well, you may as well appreciate her now." The diva spoke once the couple parted and Finn looked confusedly at his girlfriend.
"We're going shopping with the other Glee girls today." Rachel grinned but Finn pouted. "Don't look at me like that, we've had this planned for months. They're all intent on 'maturing my wardrobe'."
Finn frowned. "I like your clothes." He fiddled with the hem on her pretty floral dress.
"Okay, we have to go." Kurt spoke, standing from his seat.
"I'll see you later." Rachel grinned and stood too.
Finn grabbed her hand and tugged her towards him so she was stood in-between his legs. "One last kiss."
He pouted and she laughed, obliging.
"Elle, seriously." Kurt spoke, throwing his hands in the air and causing Rachel to giggle at his dramatizing.
"Kurt, what did you just call her? Her name is Rachel." Finn looked from the girl in his arms to his brother in confusion.
"Yes, I know Finn. But you called dibs on Rach, so I claimed the second half of her name. Plus, she's the only person I know who can belt out the last note in So Much Better." Kurt grinned and he and Rachel did their weird handshake thing.
"I'll see you later Finn." She pecked his lips once more before moving out of his embrace and leaving the house with Kurt.
"Okay Diva." Mercedes turned to Rachel at Lima Mall. "Where do you usually shop?"
"I don't really know, my dads buy most of my clothes."
"Well that explains a lot." Quinn piped up. "Okay Rachel, welcome to Forever 21."
A few hours later, everyone was sat in the food court at the mall and they were all weighed down with bags, Rachel even more so. After Forever 21, they'd hit up all the usual places; Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, H&M, Old Navy and American Apparel. They'd even spent a while in Victoria's Secret and PINK. After that, they'd scouted the few vintage stores before collapsing across two tables in the food court.
"Well, how's that for a whole new wardrobe Berry?" Santana asked, looking at the mountain of bags surrounding Rachel.
"I know, I may have to ask for an extension on my closet." Rachel replied and they all laughed, digging into their food.
Rachel pulled out her phone but before she could check it, Kurt snatched it out of her hands. "Uh uh, no Finn today. Oh my God, you have sixteen text messages from him."
The girls all burst out laughing and begged Kurt to read them.
"Okay." He made his way through the messages and even Rachel was busting a gut as the texts became more and more desperate.
Hey baby, hope you're having fun with the girls. Love you x
Indulge yourself baby, you need to relax x
Can't wait to see what you bought, fashion show later? X

"Okay, text him back before I puke at how sickening the two of you are." Kurt handed Rachel her phone back and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Okay, then I guess you won't mind if I open up yours and Blaine's conversations." Rachel grinned, reaching out for Kurt's phone which he quickly snatched away. "See?"
"Berry, just text the orca so that we can get out of this conversation." Santana injected, her eyes rolling.
I'm fine Finn, sorry but we've been way too busy for phones. I'm definitely up for a fashion show, except a few things. We did head to VS ;) I love you too x
"We really need a slumber party soon." Tina grinned, looking around at the girls.
"How about tonight?" Kurt's face lit up. "Rachel's already staying at mine anyway because her dads are out of town."
"Sounds perfect Kurt." Quinn grinned.
"Okay, let's disperse at meet at mine say 8?"
They all agreed and headed their separate ways. As Kurt and Rachel reached Kurt's car, her phone went off.
It's fine, I just got a little worried Sounds fantastic, you little tease ;) Love you more x
When they pulled up outside the house, Finn came out to help with bags. "Geez Rach, did you buy the whole mall?"
"Almost." Kurt grinned and Rachel laughed.
"Hey Rach." Finn pulled her off to the side once they were settled in the kitchen with the bags stored downstairs in Kurt's room. "I was wondering if maybe once Mom and Burt were asleep tonight, maybe you could sneak into my room. Cause truth be told, I'm going crazy knowing your so close to me."
She grinned and almost melted in his arms. "That would be…"
"No can do." Kurt piped up from his seat at the island. "The slumber party Elle? We literally organised half an hour ago."
"Of course, sorry Kurt." She turned back to Finn. "Perhaps tomorrow?"
"Seriously, I haven't seen you all day."
"And us Gleeks haven't seen her all week. Anyway, she's all yours for…" He checked his watch. "Five hours."
"Five?" Rachel looked confusedly at the clock. "Kurt we said 8."
"Yes but we need to prepare at that takes at least an hour."
"I'll take it." Finn grinned and winked.
"Come on." Rachel took his hand and led him from the room. She stopped before the entrance to the basement and told him to wait.
When she emerged she was carrying a pink bag with the words VICTORIA'S SECRET printed on the side and it took all Finn had to not throw her over his shoulder and carry her up the stairs.
"I believe a fashion show was promised."
