Chapter Eleven

Rachel was mad. No, she was furious when she left for work on Monday morning. After a near perfect day in bed with Finn he had to screw it up by opening his dumb mouth and ruining everything. They had fallen asleep in perfect bliss and woke to a shit storm.

Well, she had been worried about moving too fast and not knowing a lot about each other. Finn sure learned a new side of her. He learned her stubborn side. She could just scream at him, and she did. He spent two weeks basically on his knees wanting her to come live with him, promising her the God damn moon, and when she agrees he drops a freaking bomb on her.

Rachel got out of the shower, smile still in place from the day before. Finn has made her come so hard she nearly blacked out, twice. The day and the night had been perfect, besides the run in with her Dads, but besides that, everything was amazing. When she came out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around her, glistening from the moisture on her body. She expected Finn to say something about how sexy she looked but instead he looked like a ghost with his hand just lying in his phone, "What's wrong?" Rachel almost gasped.

"I just got off the phone with my agent, he's in charge of my PR." Finn mumbled.

Rachel nodded sitting next to him on the bed, stroking his bare back, "I had forgotten what it was like to have a girlfriend in my line of work."

"What does that even mean?"

"Rachel," Finn made eye contact with her, "You and I, we can't go public."

"I thought we already had." Rachel says confused.

"This whole thing could hurt me a lot, it could kill me and the band. I can't tell them I'm with a married woman." Finn explained.

Rachel felt like she had been smacked in the face, "What are you saying, Finn?"

"I-I'm just saying," Finn stuttered out, "W-we have to be really careful."

"I'm assuming living together isn't being careful." Rachel scoffed in frustration.

Finn put his hand on her cheek softly, "No, I want you to come to LA. I need you to… but,"

"BUT WHAT?" Rachel shouted suddenly and Finn shuttered from the sound.

"But we just have to keep our relationship under wraps, so not a lot of public outings." Finn starts to explain, "After the divorce is final and our tour is over though…"

"What does your tour have anything to do with it?" Rachel spit.

"Our managers like us to appear single on tour."

"And why is that?"

Finn sighed, "Rachel, you know why… don't make me say it."

Rachel stood up, crossing her arm across her body, "Just say it."

"So girls think they have a chance with us. They are more willing to buy merch and come to the shows and stuff." Finn tells her softly, he almost seemed embarrassed.

"You're kidding right?"

Finn tried to bite his tongue, but the words came out anyway, "Well, you took a plane across the country didn't you?"

Rachel stumbled backwards, "You know that wasn't for this." Rachel whispered out.

"Then what was it for?" Finn growled.

"A girls' weekend." Rachel answered, she felt sick, she felt weak.

"Okay, Rach. Santana didn't come to fuck Puck?" Finn reminds her.

Rachel nodded, "But, Puck is a different story… and… I don't want girls going to shows to try to hook up with you."

"That's how it works, Rach." Finn tells her, "I won't do anything."

"Just like we didn't do anything?" Rachel spit out.

Finn stood up, "So you get offended when I use it on you, but you just threw it right back in my face?" Finn shouted at her.

"You know what I find rich, Finn?" Rachel questioned, her voice loud and almost terrifying, "That you were all offended that I would keep you hidden from Jesse and my Dads and I was such a terrible person for it. You even gave me the 'are you ashamed?' shit. But now you- you're doing the same thing. But, it's twenty times worse. You're hiding me from the whole world. Not a couple of people."

"You wanted to hide me from your WHOLE world." Finn rebuts quickly.

"So my whole world is only three people?" Rachel spits. "I told Kurt immediately." She reminds him, "This has been like hell for me."

"So being with me is like hell?" Finn screams, "Rachel, you're being so difficult, this is my job. It's what I have to do."

"Your job?" Rachel spits. "What about my job? You're aware I'm going to work today and giving them my THREE DAY NOTICE."

I low growl releases from Finn's throat, "Well I didn't realize I was such a hassle, Rachel."

"Really? You're going to play the victim now?" Rachel cries out before storming to her bag. She grabbed her clothes out, "I can't even believe you, Finn. You're telling me you can't be with me."

Finn cut her off quickly, "That isn't what I said." He corrected her and she barely nodded.

"Yeah, just that you can't be seen with me." Rachel uttered under her breath, "You're amazing, you know that?"She sputtered out in a sarcastic tone.

"Well you're pretty un-fucking-believable yourself, Rachel." Finn hollered back grabbing his shirt and throwing it on and pulling on his sweatpants, obvious both parties uncomfortable with arguing naked.

"You are a hypocrite. That is what you are!" Rachel yelled at him, quickly sliding her underwear on under her towel, before dropping her towel and turning to put on her bra, "You beg me to come to a town with you were I have to hide in the room. How am I going to get anywhere like that? And when you're on tour? What then? What do I do while you're sleeping with groupies?"

"You know I would never cheat on you." Finn breathes out suddenly, surprised that she would even accuse him of that.

Rachel shook her head, "Do I know that? You're aware that I've known you less than three weeks."

Finn's lips pursed and his eyebrow raised, "So that's how it's going to be? You're just going to throw everything in my face. You're aware that you are the one that cheated, right?"

"Wow. Just wow." Rachel growled out.

Finn walked towards Rachel as she zipped her skirt up and she grabbed her button up shirt and began to button it. He tried to reach out to touch her and she whacked away his hand swiftly, "What do you want from me?"

"Nothing, I want to go to work." She let out softly, exhausted from the encounter.

Finn stood still, "Please don't leave angry."

"I don't have a choice, I have to get to work." She looked up at him before turning to the mirror, "Just leave me alone so I can finish getting ready." She told him harshly, he looked hurt but left her alone to jump in the shower.

She hurried as quickly as she could to leave before he got out, but his quick shower and her long hair made that impossible.

Finn walked out, dripping wet with a small towel around his center, "Can we talk about this before you leave?"

Rachel finished one of her last curls, "No, Finn. You know I have to go."

"You can't be a little late?" Finn pleaded.

Rachel gritted her teeth, "This is my job." She mocked him in a whine. "Sound familiar?"

"You really enjoy low-blows, huh?"Finn spit at her, "Why are you being so stubborn?" Rachel unplugged her curling iron in a huff and grabbed her bag before storming out, slamming the door behind her. Finn had no idea how stubborn Rachel could be. Well, he was about to learn.

Rachel felt sick to her stomach, but that might have been the coffee on her empty stomach. She stormed into the school, forgetting her head and everything she was walking into. And there Quinn was, could this morning get any worse.

"We need to talk." Quinn simply said. Yeah, this morning was getting worse.

Rachel hung up her bag and sat in her chair, "Okay, take a seat." She motioned to the chairs in front of her, "I will not be fighting with you, though."

Quinn calmly sat and shook her head, "I wanted to apologize for the words that came from my mouth."

"And why would you do that?" Rachel raised an eyebrow, she was skeptical to say the least.

Quinn sighed thoughtfully, "Listen, we're too old to be fighting over a guy."

"You're right." Rachel agreed.

Quinn smiled lightly, "But, I thought instead we could be friends."

"Okay…" Rachel was even more skeptical now.

"And as your friend, I have to warn you…" Quinn started, "dating Finn is not for everyone."

"As your friend, Quinn, I suggest you stop right there." Rachel warned.

Quinn ignored the warning, "No, I have to tell you this…" Quinn stated louder. "He's selfish, everything is about the band. The band this, the band that. The band will come first."

Was this woman eavesdropping on their fight? "Quinn, I really don't want to talk to you about this."

"And you know he just left his Mom with zero notice?" Quinn told her, "He's really selfish in multiple ways… like in bed."

"Okay, Quinn, I need to get to work." She stopped her by putting her hand up to shut her up.

"No, like really selfish, as soon as he's done…"

"That's weird." Rachel said loudly, cutting Quinn off, "I've had the opposite experience."

Quinn's mouth dropped open, she looked as if she wanted to speak but no words would come out, "Yeah, so if you would go that would be awesome."

Quinn stood quickly and made her way out of the room and Rachel couldn't help but smile. She felt almost proud. Selfish in bed? Quinn didn't know what the hell she was talking about.

After the long day, Rachel finally was able to leave work, a lot later than expected and without putting in her notice. Before leaving, she decided to check her phone, she had been avoiding it all day.

She found seven text messages.

Kurt: Diva, I just talked to Hi-Ber. Sounds like someone had a run in. Call me.

Daddy: Your Dad and I want you to know we love you. We'd like to see you this week

Finn: I am so sorry, Rachel

Finn: Please, Rachel, talk to me.

Finn: Just text me back.

Finn: At least promise me you'll give your notice, this just doesn't change anything.

Finn: I love you.

Rachel sighed loudly and texted Finn back.

"I didn't give my notice. On my way back to the hotel now."


Finn got Rachel's text and sighed in frustration.

"You okay, sweetie?" Carole asked from the kitchen, "You've seemed on edge all day."

"I'm fine, Mom. I've got to head out, though." He stood and put his plate and cup in the sink, "Thanks for the snack."

"That was a full meal, sweetie." Carole laughed.

Finn shook his head, "You forget, I'm not Kurt. I eat like a man, not a boy." Finn kissed his mom sweetly. "I love you. Tell Burt hi."

"I wish you'd stay and say hello yourself." She noted with a raised eyebrow.

Finn nodded, "Maybe Rachel and I will come over tomorrow, I need to get back to her now."

Carole just nodded and Finn was on his way. His stomach flipping and turning the whole way back. He walked into the quiet room and flipped on the lights and decided to make the bed to keep his hands busy.

When Rachel walked in, the weight that was on his shoulders seemed to feel lighter and it took everything he had not to open his arms for her to run into. But he knew she would not be running into them. "Why didn't you give your notice?" He whispered.

Rachel set down her bag and sat on the edge of the bed, "I don't know, today was interesting. Busy."

"You need to tell them." Finn said before making his way to sit next to her.

Rachel looked at him, "You still want to be with me after you've seen me fight?" Rachel felt a tear fall down her face.

Finn quickly wiped the hot tear off her face with a thumb, "Yes" he uttered simply. "You still want to be with me?"

Rachel nodded, "Even though you're a rock star who has to keep me a secret?" Rachel said softly, "Yes."

"I'm sorry about the cheating comment." Finn whispered.

Rachel nodded, "Well I accused you first."

"It's no excuse. I am so sorry."

"It's okay, Finn. I forgive you. It was a little low, but I was playing fair either." Rachel mentioned. "I do love you."

"I love you too." Finn whispered putting his arm around her, "Put your notice in tomorrow." He whispered into Rachel's hair.

She sighed out, "This is going too fast," She told him, "Maybe I can give them two weeks and drive my car out later."

"But…" Finn started and Rachel looked up to meet her eyes with his, "I don't want to be apart."

"Do you have to go back so soon?" Rachel asks softly.

Finn nodded, "I have an audition, and in two weeks I have to be in New York to film that movie."

"For how long?"

"About a week, maybe a week and a half." Finn answers.

Rachel nods, "Why don't I give three weeks' notice and after you're done filming we can drive back together."

"Three weeks? Who does that? You're such a good employee." Finn teased her.

Rachel nodded, not laughing, "I'm still don't understand everything exactly. So, what is our plan? I move in with you and hide out."

"Not at all." Finn said softly, tucking her hair behind her ear. "I will hook you up with an agent, we'll get you auditioning for plays and things. Maybe put together a demo tape. You have such a great voice. It's better than that British chick."

"Plays?" Rachel almost laughed.

"Broadway can't be the only place in America with musicals. You can audition for musical roles in movies and… I don't know. Hollywood could do wonders for you, babe." Finn nods in excitement, "I want you to do what you were born to do. Share your voice with the world. It's too good for only me and the shower to hear."

Rachel couldn't keep the smile off her face, "You hear me in the shower?"

"It's pretty loud babe." He kissed the side of her face, "Amazing, but loud."

Rachel leans into him, letting him take her in his arms and finally relaxing, "Sorry, you kinda make me sing." Rachel grinned up at him but his eye was twitching in the strangest way. "Did I say something wrong?"

"Shit!" Finn grabbed his eye and stood up, "Sorry, my contact."

"You wear contacts?" Rachel asked surprised.

Finn nodded as he walked to the mirror, "Yes, and I didn't bring another pair."

"But…"

"I sleep in them, I never take them out." Finn explains. "Not many people know I wear them, don't go all chick-batty on me."

"Chick-batty?" Rachel giggled.

Finn did a mock Rachel voice, "I didn't even know you wore contacts, I know nothing about you."

Rachel laughed and stood, unzipping her skirt, "Well, you obviously know me pretty well." She said getting into her pajamas.

"What are you doing? Do you want to go to dinner?" Finn asked from the mirror.

Rachel shook her head, "Can we order in, I know a Chinese place that has vegan Hot and Sour soup."

Finn shrugged, "I'm all for that." Finn told her, still fiddling with his eye, "Damn, it's a goner. I wore them out." He threw down the contact and took out the other.

"What are you going to do?"

"Wear glasses." Finn anticipated her reaction before she had time to say anything, "You wear glasses?" he mocked with a grin looking in his back for his case and putting them on quickly. "Yes I do, don't make fun. Not all of us can have perfect vision."

"Mine isn't perfect." She argued as she grinned at the man in front of her, "That's a hot look, glasses and scruff? Damn." Rachel grinned.

"Don't mock the glasses." Finn groaned.

"Oh, trust me baby. I am doing nothing of the sort. I'm totally going to make you fuck me with those glasses on." Rachel told him honestly and Finn was surprised at the vulgar language and excitement.

"You won't have to make me do anything, I'm a willing participant. Plus, I like to see you so I'll be keeping them on." Finn grinned joining her on the bed.

Rachel reached for the phone, "What's your Chinese order? We can have round one while we wait."

"What do they have?"

"It's a Chinese place, they have the same stuff as every other place." Rachel pointed out and Finn felt a little foolish for asking.

"I guess you're right. That General Chicken thing."

"General Tso's?" She asked dialing the number from memory and Finn nodded.

After ordering her soup and his meal she turned to see Finn in his boxers and the glasses still intact on his face, "Yep, that's my baby."

"It's like opposite sexy librarian." Finn grins and Rachel rolls her eyes.

Rachel kicks off her pants before straddling him, "It's nothing like that."

"Then what is it?"

"It's just sexy Finn. That's all I want." Rachel grinned at him and leaned into him, letting him kiss her softly, his lips making her feel safe and warm, yet driving her wild.

"You're all I want too." Finn whispered softly against her lips and she fell into his, letting him engulf her, loving every minute of it.
