Chapter 3:

"Coming!" Rachel called as she put on her shoes. She had a romantic diner with Finn tonight and she wanted to impress him since he had so hard to convince her he'd take her to some of the most amazing spots in New York.

"Wow.." Finn muttered as soon as she opened the door. "Rachel... You look, beautiful."

"Thank you Finn, you look pretty dashing yourself." She said leaning to give him a peck on the lips. "Come in." It was the second time Finn had been to her apartment and both masters of cleanness had managed to make it seem like they had lived there their whole lives.

"Hey who was at the door?" Patrick asked. "Oh hi man."

"Hey" Finn said sharing hands with him. "How is going?"

"Good. You?"

"Well, I'm about to take this girl out for a taste of the real New York." Finn said grinning. "You have plans for tonight?"

"No." Rachel answered for him. "Patrick aka mr workcoholic pants has work, I couldn't even convince him to go out with Blaine and Kurt." Patrick buffed.

"I did not want to be the third wheel, thank you very much!"

"You wouldn't be if..," Finn smiled at what it seemed to be one of Rachel 'Richie related speeches.

"Hey Rach, if we don't hurry, we'll miss our reservations." Finn said softly.

"Oh yes of course, don't mind me, I'll be going back to my cave now." Patrick said grabbing a bowl of cereal and a spoon. "Have a nice date and don't forget your key," he told Rachel knowingly. Yeah, he hated to be woken up at irrational hours, he'd get cranky.

"I won't be coming back until breakfast."

"Or after breakfast." Finn muttered. Patrick gave Rachel a not so discrete thumbs up and disappeared. "Be safe!" He called.

Both Finn and Rachel giggled awkwardly. "Are you sure you want to stay over?" Finn asked shyly after a moment, well he Indeed had managed to get his sister and the boys out of the house for the entire weekend.

"Of course." Rachel said softly. "I've been waiting for this for a while" they had been going out for over 2 months now and they had wanted to take slow due to their previous failed experiences in the dating department. Finn grinned as she kissed him again, wrapping her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.

The door bell rang again.

Darn it.

"Just one second." Rachel touched his nose softly with her finger and she broke their closeness.

Rachel stared at the person in front of her for a couple seconds, "Richie?"

"Rachel, what's wrong?" Finn asked.

"Hey, I didn't know if I had gotten the address right, is it okay if I come in?" Richie asked awkwardly.

"Of course, but first you have to give me a hug!" Rachel jumped into his arms. "I can't believe you're here! In New York!"

"Believe me, I can't either." Richie said with a nervous smile. "What are you doing all dressed up?" For the first time, Richie was aware of Finn. "Oh I see why."

"I take it you're Richie?" Finn asked.

"And I take it you're the hot teacher she won't shut up about?" Rachel turned tomato red and Finn smiled widely.

"That'd be me." Finn said with a smirk. "Nice to meet you."

"A pleasure."

"What's gotten you all squeaky? I thought you had reservations?" Patrick came back into view. His eyes instantly landing on his ex. "Richie?"

"Umm.. Yeah that's our cue to go." Rachel said reaching for Finn's hand. "Don't go without saying goodbye." She warned Richie and then muttered something in her best friend's direction.

"You think they'll be fine? That can't not be awkward." Finn said as they headed down the street for his truck. He opened the door for her, and then climbed inside.

"Trust me, I've seen them deal with worse." Rachel said glaring back at the light up window of the place.

Patrick couldn't move. It had been two or so months without seeing Richie and now he was right in front of him.

"What are you... How did you..," Patrick asked.

"I have been asking myself the same question for the last two days."

"Two days?" Patrick asked furrowing.

"That's how long it took me to decide I was ready to see you."

"Where did you stay?"

"I got by." Richie said quickly. "Blaine hooked me up to a cheap me motel."

"So he told you where I lived?"

"Pato, if you want me to go.." Darn it with the nickname.

"No, I just... I'm surprised to see you." Richie moved closer. "Maybe we should go sit."

"Sounds good."

"Sardi's?!" Rachel asked excitedly as Finn pulled over. "How on earth did you manage to get a table?"

Finn laughed. "You can't survive this city without connections."

Rachel glanced at him incredulously. "What? I know people."

"Right."

"You doubt me?" Finn sounded hurt. "I'm more than a hot teacher." He winked at her and she blushed.

"I...No, of course!" She kissed his cheek. " you just never cease to amaze me Finn Hudson."

"You don't know the half of it." He said leading her inside.

Rachel opened the door slowly as to not wake Finn. Last night had been amazing. After having diner, they walked hand in hand trough Central Park until they ended up back at Finn's place. No explanation needed there.

"I was wondering where had run off to." Finn's voice came from behind her. He wrapped his arms around her body from behind.

"You looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you." Rachel molded against his body.

"Well, it's nice to have a few hours more of sleep when the kids are not around." Finn turned her around to kiss her lips. His stomach suddenly growled.

"Looks like someone is hungry." Rachel giggled into his lips.

"Well, I did burn a lot of calories.."

"I'm going to make us something then." She declared happily.

Finn could get used to this.

"So you and Richie?" Blaine said on the Phone.

"Yep..." Patrick said shyly. "And thank you very much for not giving me a heads up man."

Silence. "Sorry Pat but he seemed really sad and you know me, I just couldn't.."

"It's fine." Patrick sighed. "Still, I don't know what this means, I mean, it's me and Richie and he's here and I just feel like running away."

"From him?" Blaine asked confused.

"Or myself." Patrick admitted. He was afraid to make a mess of things like he tended to.

"How long is he staying?"

"I don't know, we really didn't do much talking last night.." He said embarrassed biting his lip.

"Really Patrick..,"

"Hey don't judge me!" Patrick hissed. "Have you looked at him?"

"Okay, point taken, but you really have to talk..."

"I know." Pat sighed.

"Pato!" Richie called from the bedroom.

"okay he's up, I gotta go, I'll call you later." He told Blaine as he saw Richie staring at him.

"What are you doing?" He asked curiously.

"Blaine. He... Ummm.."

"I see." Richie opened the fridge and began to take stuff out. "Do you have something else than take out left overs?"

Patrick bit his lip awkwardly. "What do you think?"

"Don't sweat it, I'll improvise." He kissed him quickly and Patrick felt light headed.

They really needed to talk.

So Richie is in town! But for how long? And Finn and Rachel are growing closer. Next up: as Shane's Christmas performance approaches we learn more about his dad and Burt and Carole come to visit.

"Pato" is short for the name Patrick in Spanish.
