Chapter 3: Just One More Lesson

**Starts off with Finn's POV but then goes back to Rachel's after the jump. **

Finn thought about her that night and all of the next day. He couldn't get her out of his mind. She was the most beautiful girl that he has ever seen, well other than his girlfriend Quinn... right? I mean Quinn was beautiful but Rachel just took his breath away when he met her that night at dinner. Her outfit fit her perfectly, accentuating every beautiful curve of her body. Her height was adorable and he could not stop looking at those big brown eyes of hers. It was like they were looking into his soul... in a good way.

Was it cheating when you thought about another girl instead of your girlfriend? Nah, it couldn't be, it's not like he kissed Rachel. Though he really wanted to know what those gorgeous pouty lips felt like. Stop! Ugh. He couldn't think this way.

Finn was in a committed relationship and has been for the past two years and this one girl was going to ruin everything. Or was she? No, of course she wasn't because Finn wasn't going to do anything about these weird feelings he was having.

The thing that confused him was the night of the lesson. Everything was going great, he was even bold enough to hold her while teaching her the basic beat that his past teachers taught him; well, without having their arms wrapped around him. Then all of a sudden, she rushed out the door like she had seen a ghost.

Maybe it was a bad idea to go on with the lessons. Sure, he needed some extra cash and this was an easy to way to get it but Finn was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself around her and ruin what he had with Quinn. If only she was here right now and not in Boston. He would look into her eyes and it would erase all thoughts of Rachel... Berry? I think that's what she said.

Quinn was going to be back in two weeks. Finn was sure that he could control himself until then and when Quinn returned he could decide whether or not to stop the lessons or continue. But why is it that he wanted to continue the lessons so badly?

Rachel knew that if she kept going to him for lessons that things would change from professional to romantic, and she couldn't take another heartbreak. Look at him! He probably had a girlfriend or a wife, for all she knew! What was she doing? Moving in on someone else's significant other... she was better than that. Thing was that her selfish side really wanted to continue the lessons because she really did want to learn how to play.

That's it. She was a great actress and she wanted to continue her education. Rachel was going to need to pull off one of her biggest roles. She was going to pretend that she had no interest in Finn whatsoever and concentrate on only the drums.

She pulled out her phone and dialed his number but there was no answer. So, she left a message.

"Hi Finn. It's Rachel Berry. Are we still on for a lesson tomorrow night? If so, please call me back."

And with that, all that was left was a reply. She hoped she didn't screw things up by leaving so abruptly the night before.

Finn was on his way back from the recording studio when his phone starts to ring. He picks it up and looks at the screen. Rachel Berry. He wasn't ready to pick it up so he let it go to voicemail and after a few minutes he checked it.

"Hi Finn. It's Rachel Berry. Are we still on for a lesson tomorrow night? If so, please call me back."

Great. So now it's up to him to decide whether or not they are going to continue with the lessons. He really thought that she was going to bail after the way she ran out the other night. Guess not. He might as well call her back. But what was he going to say? Just take the money, Finn.

He dialed her number and waited for an answer.

"Hello?"

"Hi Rachel. Sorry I couldn't pick up before, my phone was on silent."

"Oh that's alright! Do you still want to have a lesson tomorrow?"

"Umm... yea sure. Same place and time," replied Finn with no emotion in his voice. He had to seem very cool about this.

"Okay. See you tomorrow. Bye!"

He didn't even bother answering and just hung up the phone. Now the girl that he was trying so hard to erase came back into his mind with full force. All he could think about was that he had her in his apartment, by themselves. Ugh, no! He needed to stop thinking that way. Just think about Quinn. Just Quinn. Quinn.

Finn sounded kind of odd, thought Rachel. He usually has so much enthusiasm in his voice but he sounded so... cold. She hoped that she didn't upset him when she ran out. Rachel thought about him all night long and she knew that she needed to find out whether he was with someone. Maybe if he was single then she could stop acting uninterested and pursue him? I mean he was gorgeous and one of the sweetest guys she had ever met. Scratch that, he WAS the sweetest guy she had ever met.

How could she not want to be with him? Unfortunately, he probably found no interest in her. I mean, look at her. She was normal; nothing special about her. He was extraordinary. She didn't understand why she was feeling this way. Rachel barely knew this gorgeous man yet she felt like he wouldn't hurt her and that she's known him forever. She wanted to be his girl, and maybe... just maybe... she could convince him of wanting that as well.

Rachel arrived at Finn's house at the same time as the previous night. She was in an old skirt from high school that Noah said made her legs look great and a simple tank top. Once again, she went for very casual but her makeup was still done nicely and she wanted to hopefully lure him with her famous legs. She was known for having amazing legs back in high school, Noah made sure she knew that whenever she felt down.

She knocked on the door, cautiously. Hopefully, he'd be fully dressed this time. She waited and the door opened a few seconds later.

"Hi, Rachel! Come on in. I've got the kit set up, so we can get started right away."

She followed him into the apartment and immediately went to the kit and sat down. She realized that maybe wearing a skirt was a bad idea since her legs were pushed open by the kit, and she was trying really hard not to flash Finn her underwear.

This time, Finn stood in front of her and directed her on which drum to hit and counted the rhythm for her. She did as he directed and she found the drums to be pretty easy. He really was a good teacher.

Time went by really quickly and before she knew it, she had been playing for almost an hour and her arms started to get tired. So, she just stopped playing without any warning and looked at Finn.

"I'm sorry but my arms are getting really tired. Can we please take a break?" asked Rachel.

"Oh, sorry! I completely forgot. That tends to happen when you play for a long time. You totally deserve a break. You did great. I think you could be the next Finn Hudson," he stated with a wink. Rachel blushed. "No Rachel! Stop it. You're completely uninterested remember?" she said to herself.

She got up carefully from behind the kit and walked over to the couch and plopped down. Finn didn't join her. Instead, he walked over to the kitchen and pulled out a bag of chips and some beers.

"Want some? Snacks usually go well with some TV," he said as he sat on the opposite of the couch and placed the snacks on the coffee table. Then he took the remote and put on a random football game that was on.

"I hope you don't mind. I love football," he continues.

"No, I don't mind at all. My dads love it too and they always forced me to watch it with them on Sundays," she replied. Man, she missed her dads. She was going to call them later, but right now she needed to concentrate on seeming completely uninterested in the man sitting next to her.

Finn nods and smiles and then they both sit in silence, watching the game. Rachel reaches over to grab some chips when Finn absentmindedly does the same and their hands touch. At the feeling of his hand on hers, she pulls away quickly and keeps her hands to herself for the rest of the game.

The game finally ends and they both realize that they watched more TV then played the drums. Unsurprisingly, this didn't really bug Rachel. She enjoyed just sitting next to him, watching his face as his expression changed depending on what was happening on the screen.

"Well thank you so much for the great lesson and the TV time, but I must get going, it's getting late. Here's $200 for tonight and the other night," stated Rachel, breaking the silence.

"Oh, thanks! It was no problem. You're a good student."

Rachel smiled at him and then stood there for a second not knowing what to do next. She turned to head for the door when Finn turned her around and pulled her into a hug.

His arms wrapped around her felt amazing. She felt so safe and secure, but just as she was feeling comfortable in those arms, he pulled away and gave her a big smile.

"Bye, Rach!"

"Bye, Finn," replied Rachel as she turned and walked out the door wearing the biggest grin she's ever worn in a long time.

What the heck is Finn doing? And how is Rachel going to react?

Stay tuned and keep reviewing :) Thanks everyone! xoxo
