CHAPTER 2: THE TALK
I know the first chapter was written in third person, but this chapter and probably the rest will be in first person. It'll be in Rachel's POV because that way it'll be easier to write how she feels and everything... And sorry about the long wait...

The first thought that crossed my mind was this guy is insane. Does he really expect me to believe him? I was so caught up in my thoughts that I almost missed the rest of his explanation.

"I found your musical that you wrote in a ship that was stuck in the ground. I read it but I didn't know some words so I came to ask you about it."

Is time travel really even possible? I thought. It would explain how he knew about my musical. But for all I know he could be lying about all this...

" So I came to meet you and ask you about it," Finn said, smiling at me and waiting for my response. I looked around and saw people starting to come out. I realized that lunch must be half-way over.

"Can we do this later? I have stuff to do." He looked at me, disappointment written on his handsome features.

"We could talk after school," I suggested.
When I saw his face light up I felt my heart skip a beat. But then he looked at me in confusion.

"What am I supposed to do till then?" He asked.

"Do whatever you want," I replied since I didn't know exactly what to say. I quickly walked away before he could make me agree to something else.

I saw Kurt and Jesse as they were throwing their trays away. Kurt became so excited when he saw me." I'm thinking you must've met him since you took so long."

I looked at his eager expression to learn more. It was then that I decided I couldn't tell anyone what Finn had told me. Although I come off as a selfish diva, I actually care more than most people. I knew if word spread that he thought he was from the future, he'd be bullied and slushied mercilessly. I couldn't let that happen to him, especially since he wasn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

So I said, "We just talked, and we made plans to meet up later and talk more."

Jesse looked at me. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Kurt jumped in that we should get going.

"Actually Rach I was hoping we could talk,"Jesse said as soon as Kurt finished talking.

Kurt raised his eyebrow and looked at me, but thankfully he didn't say anything and left. I looked at Jesse, waiting for him to start. Even though I had an idea what this talk was about, I wanted to give Jesse a chance to say what he needed to say.

"How about we go to the auditorium first?" he said and led me there. When we got there, we sat down on the piano bench.

"Rachel, you know that lately we've gotten closer."

"Yeah," I said staring into his hazel eyes. "Well, I think I've fallen for someone. And that someone is you."

To say I was shocked was an understatement. I just thought he liked me. As I was about to interrupt, he put a finger to my lips. That contact froze me.

"Wait, I want to finish," he said. "I feel like I can't be without you. You are amazing and beautiful even if you don't think so. So Rachel Barbra Berry, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" I really didn't know what to say. His eyes stared into mine with an intensity I had never seen before.

"Yes," I answered in a whisper. The look of joy on his face was indescribable. But as he leaned down and kissed me passionately, I couldn't help but think that something was wrong.

When the last bell rang, I looked around for Finn. His tallness makes him hard to miss. As i approached him, i felt a weird sensation in my stomach. Was it butterflies? No it couldn't be...

"Hi Rachel," he said with an adorable smile. I couldn't help but smile back. But then i realized that i probably shouldn't be smiling at him like this. Wiping the smile off, I said, " Hey Finn. We should go." I led him to my car.

It took him 10 minutes to figure out how to open the passenger door. When he finally made it inside, he asked me what my car was.

I said, "It's a car." The look of amazement he gave me made me rethink the whole situation.

Throughout the whole car ride, Finn peppered me with questions. What does this button do? What is that called? I really am starting to believe his whole time traveling story. It's either that or he's not so smart...

At my house, I realized that my dads weren't home, which is really good since I don't want them to meet since I just met him. I took him upstairs to my room and closed the door. I turned to look at him as he walked around my room, picking up objects and examining them.

"Ok Finn, I'm ready to answer your questions." He looked at me, confused, then remembered why we were there.

"Oh yeah. So in your musical you kept repeating some words. What did they mean? Like sex?" I stared at him, he couldn't be serious. But his face wore a solemn expression.

So i just said,"I have no intention of explaining sex to a guy one more time in my life." I guess something in my voice told him not to argue, so he moved on.

"Okay what is love?" I hesitated, since I didn't know what love was either. "I don't know how to explain what love is. But I can tell you what I wish it was." I looked at him and saw him nod in encouragement to continue.

" It's something that happens when you meet someone that you feel deeply connected to. And, it's not like that connection is a product of anything, intentional, but rather, something outside, of yourself. Something that you can't fight. Something that was, just, meant to be. Something that makes you wish you could live forever so you would never have to be without it." I realized that I had started rambling, but Finn still looked interested in what I was saying. He was giving me all of his undivided attention, and I couldn't help but think that no one had ever paid this much attention to me, not even Jesse. Great, now I am comparing Finn and Jesse. I snapped myself out of my thoughts and looked at the clock. It was getting late and my dads still weren't here. I could hear my stomach rumbling. Before I could stop myself, I asked Finn if he would like to go out to eat. He looked at me happily and said," Yeah."

I took Finn to Breadstix. Lima is so small that there aren't much places to go to. When we got there, I ordered a salad for me and spaghetti for Finn. As we waited I looked around at the other people. The few customers were mainly elderly couples. We ate in silence for a while. When I looked at Finn, I saw that he was staring at a couple who was kissing.

He looked at me, and asked, "What are they doing, pressing their lips together?" I guess they don't kiss in the future, I thought, as I answered Finn. "They are kissing." He continued to look at me, as if he wasn't satisfied with that explanation.

I sighed, thinking that it was kind of getting annoying to have to explain everything to him. But his confused face was pretty cute. Be patient, I told myself, even though I know that patience isn't one of my virtues. So I just said, "It's something you do when you really like someone."

I looked at his thoughtful expression. Just as i was about to ask him a question, he leaned over, pressing his lips gently on mine. I was going to pull back, but the feeling I felt as he kissed me was one I had never felt, not even with Jesse. Oh god, Jesse. I quickly pulled away, ending it. He looked at me, confused. "Why did you do that?" i asked.

"Well, I really like you Rachel," he said even more confused.

"Well, you can't do that. I have a boyfriend, Jesse," I said.

"Why not?"

" You just can't. And you have to ask before you do that. Umm, anyways I have to go." I quickly took out some money and left it on the table. I pulled out my phone and saw that I had missed calls and messages from Jesse. Oh great, how can I act like that didn't just happen? And it was amazing, I thought guiltily as I rushed out of Breadstix, leaving Finn alone.
