A/N: I'm in a fantastic mood and having a good week, so I'm going ahead and posting Chapter 4. It's kind of short, but it's necessary. There's more to come soon. Like I said, I already have through Chapter 6 written, just have to post it.
Thank you all SO much for the reviews and telling me how much you like this story :) I really like knowing what you think.

Rachel hadn't changed outfits since earlier. And that was probably a bad idea.
But oh well, whatever happened when she went to Finn's house was not completely her own doing. She liked him, she wasn't going to lie about that.
She also liked his lips and the way he had kissed her.
She was about to knock on the door, but she stopped, she heard singing inside.
I can't fight this feeling anymore… What started out as friendship has grown stronger, I only wish I had the strength to let it show…
She knocked on the door.
The singing abruptly stopped and a shirtless Finn Hudson answered the door.
"Hey," he smiled.
She didn't know what to say. She was face to face with his chest.
Damn, payback is a bitch.
"This is your way of paying me back, isn't it?" she said, not taking her eyes off of his chest.
He laughed, "Well, maybe a little."
"Okay, well let me go get a change of panties from my car," she muttered.
Finn laughed.
"Rachel, just come in," he motioned.
"Okay," she managed to say.
She walked into his house, noting that it was very homey.
"Do you just live with your mom?" she asked, looking at pictures.
"Yeah, my dad died when I was little," he trailed off.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, "I never knew my dad either… My mom had a one night stand with some guy… She almost gave me up for adoption… Sometimes I wish she had. Maybe I would have had two gay dads or something."
Finn had come up behind her and was standing there shirtless, still.
Rachel turned around and looked up at him.
She ran his hand across his bare chest, causing him to shiver slightly.
"Rachel, I can't," he whispered, closing his eyes as she placed her hand against his cheek.
"I know," she said, taking her hand away.
She instantly missed the loss of contact.
"What did you mean earlier when you said you were good too?" he asked her.
"I meant the kiss," she said, ducking under his arm and going to sit on his couch.
"Oh, well, you were good too…" he added.
She smiled, watching as he put a shirt on.
"Finn," she began, "She doesn't love you."
"What makes you say that?" he said somewhat angrily.
"She treats you like shit. She doesn't even tell you she loves you. She's using you for status…" Rachel stated.
"How dare you say that, Rachel? I've been dating her since my sophomore year of high school, I tell her how much she means to me all the time," he fumed defensively.
"Then why did you kiss me?" she asked.
There was a long pause and Rachel figured he wasn't going to answer her question.
She stood up and turned to leave.
"Because you make me feel different. You make me feel alive. You make me feel like I'm actually worth something. You actually listen to me, and I saw fireworks when we kissed," he said quietly.
She turned back around.
"I do love Quinn, or at least I used to, but she seems so distant lately, she never wants to spend time with me unless I'm hanging on her arm in the hallway, she never kisses me anymore, and we never do anything either… She's not who she used to be and… I don't like it," he continued.
"Then why are you still with her?" she said, asking the obvious question.
"Because I didn't think there was anything better out there for me," he said.
She walked back over to him and looked up at him.
"Kiss me," she whispered.
He cupped her face in his hands, bringing his lips to hers. She kissed him back, running her tongue along his bottom lip. He pushed her lips open wider with his tongue, moving his tongue against hers. She kissed him softer, finally pulling away.
"Sing to me," she whispered.
She sat down on the couch and he sat down next to her.
So long It feels so right, so warm and true Maybe I'm wrong I've been waiting for a girl like you You're so good Now, I know it's right I've been waiting for a girl like you I've been waiting, waiting for you, ooh
I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone
I need to know if you feel it too
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Yeah, really love someone
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's no where on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you, tenderly
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
And a love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
Ooh, I've been waiting
I've been waiting, yeah
I've been waiting for a girl like you
I've been waiting
Won't you come into my life?
My life?
She leaned across the couch and kissed him again.
"I don't know what you're going to do, Finn, but no matter what you choose, I'm here for you, okay?" she vowed.
He nodded.
At that moment, Finn had to decide whether to do the right thing, or to follow his heart. He just wasn't sure which option was which.
!
A/N: Ah, sweet love.
Will Finn make the right decision? Will he break Rachel's heart again?
There's a BIG twist coming soon. You're not going to see it coming.
Reviews are nice. I like knowing what you think!
