Finn's POV
It was Christmas day and I was finishing up decorating the auditorium at McKinley. In exchange for decorating the auditorium to look Christmassy, Principal Figgins was letting me use it for my special surprise for Rach. I hope she likes it!
Rachel's POV
I had arrived in Ohio yesterday but as Finn had a "special surprise" for me, I had stayed with my dads last night. Today was Christmas day and I had chosen to wear my red Christmas sweater and black skirt with black leggings and furry winter boots. Finn had given me instructions to go to a "surprise location" so I was on my way there now. When I looked at my instructions I realized where I was heading- McKinley! But why?
Finn's POV
I hear Rach coming in so I turn the main lights off and switch the Christmas lights on. "Finn?" she asks projecting her voice rather than yelling. I appear from behind the Christmas tree. "Merry Christmas babe" I say to her. Rach's mouth drops open when she sees what I've done with the auditorium. It is decked out in tinsel and lights but not overly done (I didn't want it to look tacky). The lights were down low and I had set up a picnic exactly like the one in the auditorium 2 years ago that Rach had set up for us- the one where we had our first kiss. Rach takes an intake of breath when she sees the picnic. "You remembered" she gasps and runs up the steps to the stage, throws her arms around my neck and kisses me. "Everything, right down to the airplane cups". "Well you know how much I love the airplane cups". "True" she says. "Can we eat?" she asks me. "You bet babe" I say, take her hand and we sit down to eat our meal (The picnic was different to the one we'd had back then, my mom had made us a vegan friendly Christmas dinner and we had alcohol in our airplane cups rather than soda).
Rachel's POV
So we ate dinner but I was still confused as to why Finn had decided to recreate our first date but with a Christmas feel. "So why all this Finn?" I ask him because it is the question that has been playing on my lips since I came here (as great as Finn's surprise had been). "Can't there be a little mystery in romance?" Finn says raising his eyebrows. "I guess so, Mr Hudson, I guess so" I say. "So then, my motives behind our date tonight will stay secret for a little while longer. For now though I have a surprise". He ushers in Brad the piano guy. "How come Brad's here?" I ask. "Well I thought we could recreate one of our high school duets, seeing as we're here" Finn says. "Ok which one?" I ask. "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" Finn says.
Finn's POV
We start to sing the song, me holding Rach's hand (a sense of déjà vu back to the similar moment we had in the choir room earlier this year when she said no to me the first time. Hopefully she says yes now!). I put the sheet music on the piano and nod at Brad, signalling him to start.
Finn:
Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so…..
I call your name
Whispers at morning
Our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came…
You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say
I love you
Your love's got me high
I long to get by
This time is forever
Love is the answer
(Rach starts to sing, pulling away from me but her eyes still connecting to mine from across the stage)
Rachel:
I hear your voice now
You are my choice
Now the love you bring
Heaven's in my heart
At your call
I hear harps
And angels sing
You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life
Without you
Finn:
I just can't hold on
Rachel:
I feel we belong
Finn:
My life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you
Both:
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop…then tell me just what
Will I do
Cause I just can't stop loving you
Finn:
At night when the
Stars shine
I pray in you I'll find
I love so true
Rachel:
When morning awakes me
Will you come and take me
I'll wait for you
Finn:
You know how I feel
I won't stop until
I hear your voice saying
"I do"
Rachel:
"I do"
This thing can't go wrong
Finn:
This feeling's so strong
Rachel:
Well my life ain't
Worth living
Both:
If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop…..
Then tell me, just what
Will I do
I just can't stop loving you
Rachel:
We can change all the world tomorrow
Finn:
We can sing songs of yesterday
Rachel:
I can say, Hey…Farewell
To sorrow
Finn:
This is my life and I,
Both:
Want to see you for always
I just can't stop loving you
Rachel:
No, baby,
Oh!
Both:
I just can't stop loving you
Rachel:
If I can't stop!
Finn:
And if I stop….
Both:
No
Finn:
Tell me just what will I do?
(Rachel: What will I do)
Rachel:
I just can't stop loving you
Finn:
Hee! Hee! Hee!
Know I do Girl!
Both:
I just can't stop loving you
Finn:
You know I do
Both:
And if I stop…
Then tell me, just what
Will I do
I just can't stop loving you
Rach runs into my arms at the end of the song and I pull her into a kiss. I take her hand and pick her up. I put her on top of the piano. "Finn what's going on?" she asks me. I take her hand. "Okay, I've never really been any good with words so forgive me if this speech is terrible. Rach I love you, I will never stop loving you- like the song says I just can't stop loving you. And I'm going to keep loving you for the rest of my life- as long as you'll let me. So, Rach, will you marry me?" I ask her.
I open the ring box to reveal her ring- a gold ring with a diamond in the centre and two pear shaped sapphires on either side. She is quiet for a moment but then a smile appears across her face.
"Yes" she says.
I slide the ring onto her finger and then lean forward to kiss her and she grabs my hand and pulls me onto the piano.
"Brad can you leave?" I ask, gesturing to the door.
"So shall we celebrate our new engagement?" Rach asks me, giving me a strong, hard kiss on the lips.
"You bet" I say.
And I kiss her back.
A/N: The song used in this chapter was I just can't stop loving you- Glee Cast Version.
Review? Please, I really would like to get some more reviews for this story.
NEXT TIME: A rainy proposal (if you've heard taylor swift's song fearless then you'll kinda know the idea behind this one).
