They sat and ate in silence; Finn couldn't help looking up at Rachel once every thirty seconds; they caught each other's eyes every time and she never failed to flash him a smile. He loved her smile, he always had, and right now he just couldn't believe he was here with her. Once they were finished Finn paid and held his hand out for her, she gladly took it. He didn't hesitate in interlocking his fingers with hers it felt right.
"Thank you for dinner Finn, it beats spending the whole night alone." Rachel smiled up at him, and he squeezed her hand.
"A night alone, it's nothing to a day with someone, plus no one's every really alone." He smiled wide as they stood outside waiting for the valet to bring Finn's car, he handed the guy twenty bucks and opened the door for Rachel. He got in the car and turned the radio on before driving away. They laughed when a new song started, Rachel laughed more when Finn began singing along. "Salt-N-Pepa's here and we're in effect want you to push it baby cool it by day then at night workin' up a sweat."
"Finn, stop it," Rachel was laughing too hard to make the sentence sound convincing, she was having fun. Finn was singing and drumming on his steering wheel, it was hard not to laugh.
"Yo baby-pop yeah you come here gimme a kiss, better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed! Can you feel the music pumpin' hard like I wish you would? Now push it!" he started laughing along with Rachel and focused more on the road and less on his suggestive singing. Rachel just rolled her eyes at him. "You like it, plus I know you were singing to that in your head."
"I was not! I was focusing on breathing."
"Too much information Rach, fantasies aren't good for you." He laughed and tried to dodge her hit, but failed miserably. "I like that song, I found my new ringtone."
"You're impossible Finn,"
"I'm very possible. But hey, where do you live? I need to drop you off."
"In the block of apartments on 27th Ave." she looked over at him and he had a confused and shocked expression on his face. "What's wrong with you Finn?"
"I live there too, and we have never seen each other there?" they both sat in silence for a while until Finn drove to the underground parking. "Well anyways, may I walk you to your door then?"
"That would be nice Finn." He smiled at her, and right then all he wanted to do was kiss her, with her face highlighted in the semi-darkness it was all he could think about. It would be a long night for him now, knowing they lived so close.
Rachel smiled when Finn opened her door and held out his hand for her, she took it and climbed out of the car. He hadn't changed a single bit since high school, for that she was thankful. The pair held hands all the way to the lobby then stopped to think.
"Stairs or elevator Rach?" Finn asked rubbing his thumb on the back of her hand slowly.
"Well I'm on the third floor to the top, but I've never walked the stairs up there, it might be fun." She looked up at him and saw him smiling, it was the same smile that hadn't left his face most of the night, it made him look so grown up but still like he had looked in high school, she was fighting the urge to just lean up and kiss him.
"Stairs it is. I walk up the stairs to my room at least once a week, good exercise, I eat too much junk food so I have to do something." He squeezed her hand and walked with her up the first flight of stairs; by the fifth they were exhausted from both the day and attempting to climb a thousand flights of stairs.
"I'm rethinking this plan. What time is it even?" Finn checked his watch and stopped them on the landing of the 7th floor.
"11:11" she smiled and blushed a little bit closing her eyes to make a wish. Finn did the same; little did they know they both wished for the same thing. A minute later Finn let go of Rachel's hand and lifted her into his arms.
"Finn! What are you doing? Put me down!" He just laughed and started walking up the stairs, even with Rachel's fists pounding against his chest.
"Calm down, you're tired I'm helping." As they climbed the stairs Rachel calmed down and listen to Finn humming to Journey, she smiled and remembered Regionals almost twelve years ago now. Maybe someday they could pick that back up, she was never happier than when she was with Finn, now she realized that it was the same now, it always would be. Ten minutes later they reached Rachel's apartment. Finn placed her down on her feet in front of the door as she pulled out her key.
"Thank you for tonight Finn, it was really amazing." She said when she turned around her hand on the door handle.
"We'll do it again sometime, and I had fun." He leant down and kissed her cheek before standing up straight again and walking up the hallway backwards. "Goodnight Rachel, sleep well."
Rachel held her hand against her cheek before opening the door, when she closed it she leant against the wood and slid to the floor. Tonight had been a dream she was sure of it.
Finn ran the rest of the way to his room one floor up, when he got the door open and into the room he let it out. He punched the air and shook his head; he'd just had a dinner date with none other than Broadway star Rachel Berry. He went to the bathroom and drenched his face in cold water before deciding to get ready for bed. He was in for a long night.
Falling asleep had been hard, waking up had been easy. He woke up at six and ran to a store on the end of the block, just to buy flowers. Once he got back he placed them in front of Rachel's apartment door before heading back to his place, he had a meeting at eight so he had to get dressed and to the studio. Traffic was terrible yet again but he made it on time to meet the one most exciting client he would ever have.
"Mercedes! You're early and making me look bad."
"Its 7:59 hot shot, and you are taking me for a drive in that car later white boy."
"Sure thing, we'll go for lunch, I was supposed to meet Quinn and Puck anyways, so come with."
"Oh you know it, so what's on the agenda today Mr. Hudson?" Finn laughed and opened the door to the lobby of the studio and lead Mercedes to his office.
"Well if you're transferring to Hudson Records I need you to go over this paper work, read the fine print too I can be tricky. When you're ready I'll get you to sign it and then I'll show you around."
"Sounds good, and Finn? Thanks for hooking me up with this."
"No problem, we'll make a great music team." Just then his office phone rang, he sat down in his chair opposite Mercedes and answered. "Hudson Records New York, Finn Hudson speaking."
"Finn, its Rachel."
"Oh hey, how are you?"
"I'm good thanks, now do you have any idea where a certain bouquet of flowers came from this morning? I found them outside my door."
"Well I personally don't know, but I heard that the Easter Bunny likes to deliver random bouquets of flowers to people… in the middle of June." He and Mercedes laughed as Rachel joined in.
"Okay, well I have to go meet my agent. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye bye."
"Bye Finn." He put the phone down and laughed before leaning back in the chair.
"So who was that, must be someone important to have even Finn Hudson looking like a blushing school girl."
"Well for your information Mercedes it was Justin Bieber, we had a dinner date last night and I must say it went great." They laughed and he leant forward on his arms placed on his desk. "I'm kidding, it was Rachel."
"Well no wonder you're blushing like that then."
"Just sign the papers Mercedes, sign the papers."
