Rachel's POV

I was about to tell him my decision, but I had to tell my reasons.

His face froze, but still looked carefully to my face, trying to read me.

Breathe and talk, Rachel.

"Ok, I spent this whole time thinking about me, you, us. I think some neurons died." I smiled "Look Finn, I love you. More than myself or anything or anyone in this world. My biggest doubt wasn't if we should be together, because I know we should. My doubt is.. if I could be a good girlfriend. –

"Rach, of course you.. –

"Finn, baby. Please don't interrupt. I'll explain it all."

He didn't say anything more.

"We know what happened to me and it left scars. Deep scars. And I don't know if someday I'll make love to you. I know you don't care, but I don't want to take anything from you."

He opened his mouth to speak, but I raised my hand, making him stop.

"I don't care or didn't.." I sighed "About sex, I didn't imagine I'd fall in love and want something more..-

"Wait, did you imagined about me and you.. –

"Of course. I spent days thinking, everything crossed my mind. And I want it. Everything. I can't be happy without you. I just can't." he smiled, getting the message. "I can't say no to you and we have to try or I'll spend my life thinking how it would be. I can't promise anything, but I'll try to be the best girlfriend in the world. If you want, of course."

Finn took my hands and looked deep in my eyes.

"Are you kidding me? Of course I want it! Rachel, I love you so much and I promise to be the boyfriend you want. I won't push you to your limits, we can stop whenever you can."

"Baby, don't freak out!" I giggled. "We'll be okay."

"Yes we are." He stood up and bent down by my side. "Well.. I want to make it official. Rachel… do you want to be my girlfriend?"

I smiled. "It'd be a honor."

He cupped my face and I leaned to kiss him. It felt right. I knew he was the one and I made the right decision.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too, baby."

He sits in front of me again and the waitress came minutes later with our pizza, we ate and he took me home.

"Do you want to come in?" I offered.

"I want, but.. I'm too tired." He made a grimace. "You are too, I can see it."

"Yes, I need to sleep, this musical is killing us."

He laughed and nodded.

"I'll call you tomorrow, okay? We can lunch together."

"Sounds good to me."

We kissed again and I went home, to sleep, with a huge smile on my face and my heart beating fast.

I was happy. Finally.

Finn's POV

After I left Rachel in her house, I went to mine. I was tired and needed to sleep.

I was relief, so fucking relief. She took a chance on us, she believed in us, like I did.

We'd work hard to make this relationship be perfect.

In the next morning, I picked her up in front of her building. Hs e received me with one kiss that took my breath away.

Great way to start the day.

"Well.. good morning to you too, baby."

She licked her lips and smirked.

"I'll sound cheesy, but I missed you."

Yes, I was a fool, one fool in love. She was everything for me, I've never felt this love, this.. need to be with someone, Rachel was perfect, flawless.

Let's say she bring my romantic side alive, I wanted to be whatever she wanted.

And I was kind of selfish, so it was a big deal.

"I missed you too, silly." She smiled.

"Where are we going nor, Mrs. Berry?"

"You can pick the place, Mr. Hudson. I already chose yesterday." She giggled.

Her laugh was contagious and so cute.

See? Romantic side talking.

"I don't care where we're going, I just want to go with you."

"You're perfect, I did mention that, didn't I?"

"Yes." It was my turn to giggle. "But I'm not."

"Ahn.. yes you are. But I want to make some questions."

"Go on."

"Are you… a virgin? Sorry for asking, but I was curious…" she blushed.

"Don't apologize, you're my girlfriend and can ask any question you want. But answering it, no I'm not virgin."

"Oh. That's.. good. I guess."

"Good?"

"Yeah, I didn't want you to die virgin, if I don't put out."

I rolled my eyes.

"Can you forget this for a minute? I'm okay with my decision, even if I was virgin, I wouldn't change my mind."

"Really?"

"Yes. And I consider myself a virgin, for your information"

"What do you mean?"

"I had sex with a lot of girls in high school, it was good, but it didn't mean nothing because I wasn't in love with them."

"Have you ever been in love?"

"No. have you?"

"Nope."

"And were you a virgin when..?" she understood the question.

I wasn't say his name, it'd bring memories and I wanted to forget this story and she wanted to do the same, I was sure.

"No, I had sex with some boys. In high school too. And after that."

"Oh, that's.. well, I don't know."

"Don't worry, we'll put this behind us. I feel safe with you. I always felt."

I smiled.

"You never mentioned that."

"I'm now. I didn't know what it meant, but I felt good and safe every time we were together. That's why I was so rude to you when we met. I was nervous, I haven't talk to anyone for that long since the rape, so it freaked me out."

"I thought you hated me."

"No, I never hated you. It's impossible to hate someone so cute and perfect like you."

I felt my cheeks redder.

"Let's go? She asked.

"Okay."

We went to the shopping I looked at her walking and holding my hand. I was so lucky.

And never been this happy before.

Well, is this the end? No, not really! There's the epilogue, so don't miss it! Xo.
