A/N: So. I'm writing this fanfic again. If you haven't seen my update, please read it!

I'm a college student. It's so weird! I posted my first Monchele One-Shot on here the beginning of my junior year of high school, and now I'm a college student. It's...different. I feel like an introvert here because I kind of stay in my room and do homework and crap while the people in my residence hall are partying and being loud till 3 AM, and the only reason I know is because I have skyped people until 3 AM. Otherwise, college is an adjustment. So much better than high school I can say.

Anyway, enough about me. More about Finchel.

Chapter Three

Secret Valentine

Finn's POV

August 11, 2016

Manhattan, NY

"I love you too, Finn" I hear. Tears are starting to fall from her gorgeous brown eyes. I place my lips back onto hers. God, I still feel the same way when we kiss. It's like these—these fireworks always explode when I kiss her. And that's never what I felt when kissing other girls. Well, there was Quinn but, there's absolutely no sense talking about her. The only girl worth talking about is Rachel. I love her. I absolutely love her. With all of my heart. And I never stopped loving her, even when we were apart (hey that rhymed). She's simply perfection.

I can't stop kissing her. My heart melts every time our lips crash together. I just can't stop. But, she pulls away, breathing heavily.

"Rach, are...are you okay?" I ask her, looking straight into those irreplaceable brown eyes. "Of course I'm okay. I just need to catch my breath." She says, falling back into my arms, (which, by the way, she belongs there). I place a quick, but sweet kiss on her forehead as I hold her. God, I've missed this…all of this. I missed my Rachel, and I'm so happy that I really can hold her again and kiss her again and be hers again.

"Would…would you like to come inside?" She asks me, in a slightly nervous tone. She always got nervous when she asked me that question, apparently that hasn't changed. "I would love to," I tell her. A smile starts to appear on her face right after I answer. She grabs my hand and together we go inside.

Her apartment is gorgeous. Of course, it's not the pink bedroom with gold stars on the wall like her room in high school; I didn't expect her to have her apartment looking like that anymore. But, I didn't expect this…this warm and cozy apartment. It's larger than Kurt and Blaine's apartment, although Rachel describes it as "dinky." She has a small little couch, that I assume is for when guests stay over, in the middle of the first room. She sits down there, patting the cushion next to her, telling me to sit there. I sit my ass down on her couch, where she's staring at me with her just, perfectly gorgeous eyes. That stare is very familiar, I know it far too well. It's the stare Rachel gives when she wants something and I'm pretty sure I know what she wants. I lay my head down on the other side of couch, throwing my legs up at the same time. I motion to her to come closer which she does. She lays herself atop of me, and I move a strand of hair out of her face and push it behind her ear. "I love you, Rachel," I whisper to her as I place my lips onto hers.

A few moments later, our kisses become harder, more passionate. We start to move together, finding our rhythm again. Her breathing gets heavier, as does mine. It was just like old times; Finchel is back, and stronger than ever. I pull away from her sweet lips, only to hug her while I catch my breath. She never ceases to leave me breathless, speechless too. Once I can breathe again, I place a soft, yet somewhat passionate kiss on her lips, only to notice the right side of her neck exposed to me. I start peppering kisses down her neck, feeling a smile form on her face through my shirt. Although it's been a little over four years since we've broken up, some things haven't changed between us.

After an hour of crashing our lips onto each others, Rachel lays on my chest, as I run my hand her hair. This entire day has been just perfect. I have my Rachel back, and this time, I'm not letting her go.

"Finn?" Rachel whispers, breaking the silence. God her voice sounds so, so, so perfect. "Yeah?" I ask her. "Do Kurt and Blaine know about me?" Shit. I forgot to tell Kurt and Blaine about it being Rachel's number on my arm, and about it being Rachel who has been in my dreams every night since our run-in. I knew I should have, but I thought it would be fun to surprise them. Aw now Rach is going to hate me.

"Um...no, I...I haven't yet..." I sigh. God, she's going to hate me, I know it.

"Surprising them, eh Mr. Hudson?" she smiles at me. I let out a sigh of relief. She doesn't hate me, thank god. "Yeah, actually" I chuckle. "How did you know?" She rolls her eyes at me, and she takes my hands into hers (oh god, her hands are soft). "Finn, I know you. You LOVE surprising people." I laugh. Maybe some things really haven't changed between us.

"Wait, I have an idea," she says to me. She gets up and runs into the bathroom, leaving me deathly confused. Rachel can be so weird sometimes, which one of the reasons why I love her. She comes out of the bathroom around five minutes later, wearing the brightest shade of red lipstick I have ever seen. The color definitely wasn't made for Rachel, but I doubt that was the reason she wore it. She sits back down next to me, and whispers in my ear, "Let's give them a reason to freak out."

Seconds later, Rachel is peppering kisses down both sides of my neck, making me slightly moan. I can tell the lipstick stains she's leaving on me are smearing, but at this point, neither of us care. She then makes her way back to my lips, dropping the sweetest and softest kiss I've ever felt, on them. Oh, Rachel had a damn good idea. She continues to pepper kisses on my face: my cheeks, my head, my nose, everywhere.

This continues until I'm covered with lipstick stains. Once I am, Rachel and I share one more sweet kiss, and then we lie next to each other. We sit in silence for a while, but a sweet silence; where you could feel the love in the room. I have my Rachel back, MY Rachel. Nothing in the world can take her away from me now; I won't let anyone or anything come between us.

A couple minutes later, I realized that Rachel was starting to fall asleep in my arms. "Rach, are you getting sleepy?" I ask her. She nods, with a little smile on her face. "C'mere my little gold star," I whisper in her ear. I pick her up off of her couch, and I walk her over to her bed. "I want you to get some sleep. You deserve it after all of your hard work at rehearsals." I kiss her forehead, then her lips. "Goodnight Rachel, I love you." I hear her mumble "I love you too," as I smile.

I steal an extra key on my way out of her apartment, and I lock her door. God, it feels good to have my girl again. I walk out of her apartment and I call a cab. Oh shit, I still have the lipstick stains all over me. Oh, this will be fun. I step into the cab, and I can hear the cab driver laughing at me from the second he saw me. "Yeah, shut up," I tell him, as we start to drive away.

It's around 1:45 in the morning when I arrive back at Kurt and Blaine's apartment. And since the light is still on, it's pretty obvious that they're still awake, probably waiting up for me. Ugh, I hate having a brother and a future brother-in-law sometimes.

The second I walk into the apartment, I can feel a lecture coming on. I can just feel it. But the second I came in contact with Kurt, I could see in his eyes that he's gonna laugh at me for the lipstick stains all over me. "Don't you dare Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, don't you DARE laugh at me," I tell him. "I'm sorry Finn but..." He bursts out laughing, as i playfully push him. "Shut up," I say, as Blaine walks over to us. "Whoa, SOMEONE'S was busy tonight, care to explain?" Oh Blaine, always trying to be the jokester. "What can I say?" I tell the two. "Broadway girls are my forte," I smirk, as I walk to my room.

I lie in bed, replaying the events of tonight in my head. I still can't believe that I can call Rachel mine again. I didn't expect to find her again, and I did. Who knew? I drift off to sleep, Rachel starring in each and every one of my dreams.
