~Hey guys. Here's another chapter. It's very similar to the last one, except it's Finn's POV and the ending is a little different. Hope you enjoy. As always, sorry for the shortness and I will have more up for you soon =)~

Chapter 3: Be With Me

He knocked on her door, his heart pumping hard, but he knew that it was time for him to finally do this, time to make that move. He was totally nervous though, and was pretty sure he was going to throw up all over the front door, but he managed to gulp it down and tried to put on a relaxed face when she opened the door.

He was pretty sure he looked like a complete bigot (that probably wasn't the right word to be used but it sounded right anyway) when Rachel peered around the door. She was looking at him and she looked so beautiful. He felt the air rush out of him as, before he could think twice about it, he leaned in and wrapped his arms around her.

He could feel her heart beating and she smelt really nice… like strawberries, he guessed… and her boobs felt really nice and soft against chest. Damn, the mailman, the mailman, he thought.

He noticed after some hard thinking that he was squeezing Rachel too tightly and she could probably feel his erection against her, so he let go quickly and stepped back, feeling super awkward. Why did he have to always go so stupid when he was near her?

Clearing his throat and scratching his head and neither of them talked and it was really weird and Finn just wanted Rachel to please, please do something. As if in answer to the thoughts in his head, she stepped aside and let him into the house. He walked in mutely and stopped in the middle of the room. He wasn't sure how he was meant to do this. And he knew that he didn't want to draw particular attention to his crouch area right now, so he just stood there in the middle of the room like a complete idiot.

After a moment, he felt Rachel come closer and she sounded cheery when she spoke from over on the couch but Finn kind of missed the start bit of what she said because he was just concentrating on her sitting like that, her legs all crossed and sexy. He did manage to tune into the last part, though, which was something like: "…it would be a great opportunity to ...our minds to the complex world of the Shankerian Era."

He didn't know what on earth Shankerian meant but that didn't really matter. Rachel was just too cute for words. Smiling, he walked over and sat down and finally said something. Something that was working its way towards what he was really here for. He took a deep breath.

"That… that sounds nice, Rachel, but I was actually planning on something else for us to do today," he said slowly, before looking away from Rachel in embarrassment.

"Oh," Rachel muttered, softly. "Well, what is it that you wanted to do?"

Um… okay… he had at least expected a bit of a lean-way to compose himself, because, like, Rachel never just gave up on a plan without a fight… but this was good. It meant that this was going to be easier than he expected to get Rachel to the place he wanted to be in to do this. Not that he had any idea what his brilliant plan was… dammit. He actually had no answer to this question at all so he had to come up with something and fast. An idea popped into his head and he just had to go for it.

"I… well… I….Did you know that Kurt just borrowed this really awesome movie that's, like, really funny? It's so good… you should watch it! Come on, let's go and watch it with Kurt!" He blurted.

Ok. That wasn't so bad… in the scope of things. But, really, why bring Kurt into this? He didn't want Kurt around when he did… well, when he did what he wanted to do. And he definitely didn't want to watch a movie right now.

This wasn't a problem though because judging by Rachel's face she wasn't thrilled by the idea and she could see right through him because she was just too damn smart.

"Is that really what you want to do?" she asks him, raising her eyebrows in a Rachel Berry way and staring at him so hard that he feels his cheeks burn like fire and it kinda hurts.

He looks down, rubbing his cheeks and mumbles, "no" to the floor because he can't look at Rachel anymore. He just wants to reach over and… but he can't. They need to talk, first, right?

"Then what is it, Finn?" Rachel presses, leaning towards him. "Come on, you know you can tell me anything. I'll do whatever you want to."

Finn can feel her leaning towards him and the air around him suddenly feels hot and then, just as suddenly, she's sitting next to him and her thigh brushes his and he feels his heart beating so hard at the contact that he's pretty sure he might just die right there.

And then he almost died and went to heaven all over again when she placed her small hand on his back and started rubbing circles over it. It felt so warm and comforting and even, sexy… Finn just couldn't resist looking up at her then and even though things were really good at the moment, everything got even hotter when he looked at her face.

She just… she looked perfect; her big chocolate brown eyes staring at him and a small, gentle smile on her face and he could tell that she was just as nervous and happy as he was and he just couldn't help himself any longer.

He leaned forwards and pressed his lips to hers.

Hers were soft and warm and he felt her mouth tremble against his as he pushed against her mouth a little harder, teasing her lip with his tongue and drawing her closer by slipping his hand behind her head.

She didn't protest, she just kissed him back and it was the best kiss ever, a kiss that Finn had been wanting and waiting for in so long.

And, as he kissed her, he knew that he was finally telling her, finally asking her:

"Be with me. I want you to be with me, for now and forever. Can you be with me now?"
