She heard her dads call her "Rachel Finn is here" Rachel's heart raced as she walked into the hallway and down the stairs. She gripped the railing and walked down stairs to see Finn. He was wearing a puffy vest with a sweater and jeans and a pair of boots.
"Hey Rach"
"Hi"
"Ready to go"
"yes" Rachel said probably a little too eagerly
The pair made their way to Finn's truck, god Rachel loved his truck it was so big and she was so small and the best part of it all, it smelled like Finn. She was pretty sure that was her favorite smell in the whole world.
They got on the road to the unknown location. "So when do I get to know where we are going? Rachel asked in an overly sweet tone she put the cherry on top by leaning over and planting a kiss on his cheek for the first time in forever.
"Sorry Rach being cute isn't going to get me to tell you but you will know soon enough but thank you for the kiss". Rachel leaned back into her seat and pouted.
"Sorry Rachel that won't get you anywhere either I think you're cute when you pout, your nose crinkles up and it's adorable."
"You're lucky I missed you otherwise I would force you to tell me."
"Yeah and how would you do that?"
"Not talk to you"
"Yeah I would like to see that happen, Rachel Berry not talk to Finn Hudson, when pigs fly."
The pair was 5 minutes away and that's when it finally hit Rachel,
"we are going to the lake aren't we?"
"Ding, ding, ding we have a winner. I hope that's okay."
"It's better than okay I loved this idea it's like the best ever this is why I had to dress warmly"
"Yep" Finn said pulling into the lake entrance Finn's uncle owned the lake and he came here all the time.
Rachel looked around it was just as pretty as she remembered all those summer days that were spent here. The dock in the lake the trees everything was perfect, then Rachel spotted it, her favorite spot, the tree house. Memories came flashing into Rachel's head.
Flashback summer before senior year
"Come on Rach jump into the lake" yelled Kurt.
"No I'm not coming in"
"Come on babe I'm right here" said Finn
"No" Rachel and the rest of the glee club decided to kick their senior year off with a little vacation at Finn's lake and Rachel was standing on the dock refusing to come into the water.
Rachel sat down at the edge of the dock and looked down at the water "I am not coming in"
Finn swam over to where his now very stubborn girlfriend was. "Baby please come in the water. If you do then we can go somewhere private tonight to watch the fireworks. It will be just the two of us." Finn whispered into Rachel's ear.
"Finny I'm scared"
"Rachie its okay I am right here okay?"
"Promise?"
"Yes always"
Rachel slowly eased herself into the water and into Finns arms he wrapped his arms around her body and she wrapped hers around his neck and her legs around his waist. "I guess this isn't as bad as long and you hold me"
"That's my girl"
The glee clubbers spent about an hour splashing and having fun in the water before calling it quits for the day.
"Okay guys Rachel and I will see you all in the morning" Finn said grabbing her tiny little hand and putting it in his. This statement got a few comments from the other kids but he could care less what any of them thought he just wanted to be with Rachel.
Finn walked Rachel into the woods "where are we going?"
"That's where we are going" Finn said pointing to a tree house right over the water in fact the tree house was over the water it was beautiful. "Finn this is incredible.
"Yeah"
They walked up the latter, Finn helping Rachel up. When Rachel got to the main level she was in for a shock there were rose petals everywhere and light strands throughout the entire tree house. "So this is what I was doing earlier when you got mad that I bailed on lunch"
"Wow Finn this is amazing, you're amazing"
Finn led Rachel over to the couch and pulled her into him. Rachel had her head on his chest listing to his heartbeat and Finn had his arms around her body.
Rachel looked up at Finn "this is amazing Finn I love you so much"
"And I love you Rachel"
"Good because I am never leaving you"
"Same here baby"
Rachel smiled up at Finn giving her one of his half smiles that was reserved just for her.
"I now pronounce this our summer spot just me and you"
"Sounds perfect" and it was the pair spent too many days to count up there all the way up to the breakup. It was their own personal getaway for when things got to crazy.
Present time
Rachel and Finn got out of the car and walked into the tree house.
"Looks like our tree house is still standing"
"It's still ours?" Rachel asked
"Of course it is you don't think I would ever bring anyone else here do you?"
"Thank you Finn"
"So I brought a picnic dinner for us just like you brought us one the first day we spent time together on the stage."
"Who would have thought that it would be the one of so many kisses?"
"Yea" said Finn
Rachel and Finn sat on the couch eating their dinner. "So look we really need to talk about us" said Rachel getting right to the point"
"I agree"
"Said Finn"
"Let me say something first, I won't lose you again those 3 months were hell Finn I am not doing it again"
"I agree Rachel so what does this mean are we together again"
"Yes I want to be I don't want either of us to see other people" said Rachel.
I want to come clean with you I did see someone when we weren't talking and I was dating her when you came to see the play" said Finn
"Okay Finn I understand"
"I didn't sleep with her or anything we kissed few times but that's it I broke things off with her, her name was Kendall she thought it was more than it was. I just wanted to be honest with you."
"Thank you Finn I appreciate that you're being honest"
"So what happened with this Brody guy?"
"I will tell you about him another day it's still really fresh and it hurts too much, just know next time you see him you can do whatever you want to. I will tell you one day."
"Please just tell me you didn't sleep with him"
"I didn't Finn your still my only"
"Okay good"
"That brings me to the next point I want to take this slow no rash decisions that are crazy I can't take you leaving me again"
"I promise Rachel I will never leave you again I love you Rachel" he said wrapping her up in his arms.
"I love you too Finn" Rachel said soaking up all of his attention he had some making up to do. Rachel was in Finn's arms knowing that everything was going to be okay once again. She knew she had a long road ahead of her but Finn would be there every step of the way. Rachel was finally home.
Okay so I can end here or keep going and explore into their future with the distance and everything let me know in the reviews if I get to 30 I will take that as a yes to keep going. Thank you for all your support, love you all!
