Finn Hudson knew very little about one Rachel Berry, but it was just something about her that just kept him coming back for more. Finn had had many girls through themselves at him, all because he was a certain position on the football team. Finn wasn't Puck though, Puck loved it Finn hated it, sure he found it flattering but it was hard to just have girls that were friends. Rachel was very cute but she hadn't texted him in fact she had only texted him once to make sure he had her number. Finn started to find himself having weird feelings towards Rachel, things that he hadn't felt for any girl… Finn wasn't declaring his love for her he just had respect for Rachel she wasn't like the other girls. Finn had only known Rachel for a few days but he was convinced he was crushing on Rachel, majorly. Finn wanted to know what had gone down with Quinn.

Rachel was washing her hair when her phone beeped, her dads were in the house and if the text wasn't from them then… FINN! Rachel soaking wet and dripping with soap jumped out of the shower… naked. She rushed to her phone and read the text'

'Hey. I'm sorry about last night. I'll make it up to you tonight? 6.30? Finn'

'Is this about the verbs?'

'No. 6.30?'

'Okay'

Rachel cheered and jumped, it was then she noticed she was naked, she quickly returned to the shower and looked at her clock, IT WAS 3.46! Oh there was no time! Rachel finished her shower and spent the rest of the night frantically looking round for some clothing or something. Rachel had gotten changed several times over when she finally decided on a pair of red tartan tights with a purple skirt with a black turtle neck sweater.

"Dad I'm going out tonight!"

"Rachel come here a second?" Rachel swung and jumped down the stairs and entered her living room.

"Problem daddy?"

"Who are you going out with? And where?"

"Finn and a surprise" Rachel said with a glow she just couldn't shake off.

"Argh, is this the gentleman from last night?"

"Yes, why?" Rachel said rocking cheerfully back and forth on her heels.

"And you like him?" He father didn't need to ask her that. "Rachel, I have never seen a young man so nervous to be escorting you to a party, he likes you Rachel" Rachel blushed and just walked off with a spring in her step.

Before Rachel knew it, it was nearing six thirty and Rachel's nervous were getting crazy outta control. She didn't even know where he was taking her, she didn't care she just wanted to go. There was a knock at the door and Rachel just sat still, Rachel didn't even register it. It was only when it knocked again that Leroy, one of Rachel's fathers ran down the stairs mouthing 'Rachel, door?' Rachel jumped to attention, she stood up grabbed her purse and walked gradually towards the door looking around her trying to slow her breathing.

To Finn it felt like an hour had passed waiting at that door. Finn had never been so nervous, Finn had known Rachel for a matter of days and he knew little about her but he knew she liked to and could sing, beautifully so. Finn had an idea and wasn't sure if she'd like it but it could work and hopefully it would. All Finn wanted to achieve tonight was for Rachel to notice him, he was sure that she did up until he totally blanked him when he went in for a kiss. Well what more could he do? Other than climb up her trellis and lay one on her right there and then! Well if this didn't work that was plan B Finn joked. Finn realised he had never really been along with Rachel apart from the two minutes in the office and the car journeys but that was just filled with awkward silences. So Finn planned to take Rachel to a still a public place but it would just be them there and boy he couldn't wait to get to know her. He had only really gotten to know her through paper triangle messages and spying on her in the girl's locker room.

Finn knew he wasn't very clever, he lived in a town where you grew up in Lima Ohio and you Stayed in Lima Ohio. Finns father died when he was only a few months old and he obviously had no memories of him, so Finn had never really had a male role model. Finn's mum was amazing in Finns eyes to have brought him up alone all of her life, she had never really had any male company after his fathers death. Finn admired her for that but he wasn't sure if it was because she wasn't ready or she believed he wasn't and to be honest Finn himself didn't know if he was.

Finn waited and waited and waited. Until an anxious Rachel answered the door. They both took a deep breath and… it started. Finn just took in the image of her and all the plans of tonight were SLAP wiped out of his head.

"Hi, Finn?" Rachel said with her dad standing in the background with him wearing an excessive smile, for if Rachel couldn't see the truth in Finn's smile, her father certainly did.

"Yeah, Hi Rach, Ready?"

"Yeah, bye daddy"

"Bye sir" Finn hadn't even noticed Rachel's dad, Finn didn't notice anything but Rachel.

"Bye Sweetheart…Be safe… Bye Finn" And he shot a knowing glance.

Wait! Her dad was there? He knew his name? Had Rach been talking about him? Little Finn knew that not an minute passed without Rachel mentioning Finns name.

Finn shut the door being Rachel and pointed to his shabby red truck parked in the layby, Finn couldn't get away with stealing his mums car two nights in a row.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Rach, I have known you for a few days. I don't know you. So if this idea sucks I'm so so so so sorry."

"Finn you taking me out stopped me from having a two hour piano lesson, for that I'm truly grateful."

As soon as Rachel said that Finn felt pressure, he had taken her away from an important lesson. OH NO! Was that what she had talked to her dad about! Did he pressurize her to come tonight? Finns mind was going crazy. He seriously needed to calm down or he was going to crash.

"Okay. So you do a lot of music?" Finn asked trying to change the subject, don't know why since he was pretty much there.

"Finn" Rachel said glaring "I'm annoyingly persistent, everyone says so, I'll ask you again. Where are we going?"

"Rachel I think it's cute." A final attempt to change the subject.

Fail.

"Finn!" by the time Rachel spoke she knew where they were.

"Okay so here is the explanation. You like to sing, So I thought we could go to the Roller skating karaoke disco thingy, I'm sorry it totally sucks in fact ill drive you home now." Finn said getting short of breathe.

"Finn I have lived in Lima all my life and I live literally twenty minutes away and I have never done this before"

"Seriously?" Finn might of just hit the nail on the head!

They walked in and walked straight to the counter.

"Size?" The peppy girl from behind the desk asked?

"I'm a size 10, Rach?"

"7"

"Awesome, ten bucks please?"

Shit! Rachel had forgotten her purse but while she was patting herself down beeging that this wasn't happening she heard.

"Thanks guys, cute couple by the way, have fun!"

"Finn, you didn't need to… ill pay you back!"

"No Rach, I owe you one after last night. But you got to help me with my verbs for spaninsh?"

"Deal!" She said shaking his hand.

They laced up their skates and Rachel raced ahead with excitement but smoothly fell on her bum immediately, Finn giggled and helped her up. He extended his arm and pulled her up. Rachel was amazed he was very strong. Rachel went to let go of his hand but he had a tight grip. Finn didn't want to let go he liked his hands in hers, but he felt her trying to realise he quickly thought of an excuse

"I-I umm I read somewhere that it's better to hold hands while going round it keeps you… balanced on the rink and yeah…" Yeah he totally got away with it.

What a load of crap Rachel thought. But she wasn't complaining she liked it, a lot.
