A/N: Here's the next part! Your Finchel hearts won't break in this one! Enjoy!
Oh and don't for get to REVIEW! :D
The rest of the week was a blur. Instead of focusing on my busy schedule, I couldn't help but think that the insane dream I had a few days ago meant something. I appreciate Finn so much more for wanting to be with me after what I'm putting him through. And that thing with Quinn. What the H? I hate to admit it but I wish our relationship was that way. I wish we were best friends instead of enemies. I really can't stand the fact that I'm jealous of her. She gets to see him everyday while I get to see him on the three breaks I have from school. I know I shouldn't be worried about Finn and Quinn getting back together but I am, I'm terrified.
My dads picked Kurt, Blaine, and I up from the airport. Everyone else was busy; Carole was working the late shift and Burt and Finn were at the shop. I was kind of relived that it was just my dads who picked us up. We dropped Kurt and Blaine off at their houses and we headed for home. Exhausted from this crazy week I couldn't help but drift off in to a peaceful sleep in the ten minutes it takes to get from Kurt's house to mine.
I woke up with the sun blinding my eyes as I stretched my limbs and letting them fall limp. I was a little confused not remembering how I got in my bed. I was still in my clothes from yesterday, my shoes were still on. I laughed as I sat up and looked over at my alarm clock to see it was already eleven o'clock. I grabbed my phone seeing I missed two calls from Finn and one text message.
[Hey Rach! I called your house and your dads said you were still sleeping. Call me when your wake up.
I love you!
-Finn]
I smiled at the text and dialed Finn's number. He picked up after two rings. "Rise'n shine sleepy head!"
"Hi." I smiled at the thought of being able to spend three weeks with him.
"Get ready, I have the whole day… well the rest of the day planned." I laughed to hide my embarrassment. I've never slept past eight o'clock in the morning.
"Okay. Give me an hour?"
"I'll see you then." I couldn't help but blush.
I hung up the phone and pranced my way down stairs and into the kitchen. I saw my dad and he was berried in his newspaper. "Hey daddy, I'm going out with Finn today okay?" I turned to pour me a glass of orange juice.
"Well I suppose that would be alright." Drinking the freshly poured orange juice I choked when I heard my 'dad' speak. I spun around to see Finn standing behind me with a bouquet of white flowers. I about screamed and jumped into a hug. Straddling my legs around his waist I hugged him tighter than I thought I could. I pulled back and placed my lips on his. Wrapping my around his neck I pull him closer. In this moment I know everyone was right. I can't avoid being around Finn, scared of saying goodbye. We weren't really saying goodbye anyways, it was more like a, I'll see ya later. He pulled back from the kiss, pulling me from my thought. "These are for you." Still in his embrace, he hands me the flowers.
"You are the best!" I give him a quick peck and slip down to my feet.
He smiles. "Yeah I do what I can." I walked over to the cupboard and grabbed a vase.
"so what are our plans today?" I filled the vase with water and put the flowers in it.
"Well that a surprise!" He slapped my butt. "Hurry up go get ready!"
I headed up to my room. "How am I to know what to wear when you wont tell me what were doing?"
"Just get ready!" He laughed and then I was off getting ready.
I got ready in record time, I really wanted to know what he had up his sleeve. I put on a usual sweater with the short skirt, paired with tights and boots. I grabbed my pea coat before heading down stairs. Before I knew it we were on the road. It wasn't blizzarding out but there were some flurries coming down. Snow and I have a love hate relationship, I love how pretty and fun it can be, but I hate how cold and dangerous it was too.
Finn looked over at me. "You hungry? I know you haven't eaten anything today."
I thought for a second. I was actually starving. "Yes, I am actually."
He smiled. "Okay we will stop some where and grab a bite to eat first."
I scooted closer to him so I could lean my head on his shoulder as he drove down the road. We ended up stopping at a local diner. Finn got a burger and I got a salad, seeing as how they didn't have anything vegan. By the time we left the restaurant it was already almost four o'clock. Where did the day go? I hope my whole break didn't go this fast. He pulled into a parking lot of a place called 'Everything Sports'. I don't know what Finn was planning but I hope he knows I'm awful at sports. He hopped out of the truck and made his way over to my side and opened the door helping me out.
"Finn, I hope you know I can't play any sports." I looked up at him with a worried face.
He smiled at me, which made me feel better. "Were not playing any sports."
He grabbed my hand and lead me inside the building. This place was massive. They had everything from fishing stuff to beer pong kits. Finn lead me over to the side of the store. I looked up at the sign and it said 'Ski/Snowboard Rentals.' I looked over at Finn and he had the biggest smile on his face.
I wanted to protest but if this made him happy I would do whatever. "Were skiing?"
He laughed. "Of coarse not!" A sigh of relief spread thought her body. "Were snowboarding!"
Right on cue my anxiety kicked it. "Finn I've never been before. What if I fall?"
He cupped my face in his hands. "I'm gonna teach you." He planted a light kiss on my lips and I felt safe. My anxiety was no where to be found. Then I heard a familiar voice holler 'Berry'.
I look over to see Puck and the rest of the gang in the corner getting fitted for their boots. I smiled as I saw all my friends that I haven't seen or talked to since Brittany's party.
Finn and I walked over and greeted our friends. I was talking closely with the girls plus Kurt, minus Quinn. I couldn't help but want to go over and talk to her. I excused myself from the current conversation and made my way over to Quinn who was getting her boots fitted by the employee. "Hey Quinn"
Her head popped up in shock that I came over to talk to her. "Hi…Rachel"
I smiled and sat beside her. "How are you? How's school?" I wanted to be friends with Quinn ever since that dream which freaked me out a little bit.
"Umm, I'm… good. School is school." There was an awkward moment and I decided just to go for it, what's the worst that could happen?
"So, I was thinking we should hang out sometime. Maybe go to the mall do a little shopping?"
Quinn stared at me in shock. I smiled, I was a tad uncomfortable under her stare. "What?"
"If you don't want to I totally understand!" I was ready to get up and walk away. I was so embarrassed.
"Yeah…" She was so quite I barely heard her.
"Really?" A small smile formed on her lips and I felt good. There is no reason Quinn and I couldn't be friends.
"Yeah, just us two?" Her smile faded into curiosity.
"Yeah. We could have a girls day." I smiled.
"Okay." she barely smiled back when I heard Finn call my name.
"Oh can I get your number so we can make plans?" Her face kind of lit up at that question.
"Yeah, here give me your phone." I handed her my phone and she typed her phone number in. "There you go."
I smiled at her. "Awesome, I guess ill just call you then." She smiled and nodded slightly.
I didn't think a hug was necessary so I just got up and walked over to Finn. "What was that all about?" Finn was always cautious around Quinn, you never know what she'll do.
"We were just catching up. Where gonna hang out, have a girls day sometime over break." Finn looked at me like I was insane. "Finn, there is no reason for Quinn and I to fight anymore, so we should at least try to be friends."
"I'm really glad you don't feel threatened by Quinn anymore. I love having your faith and trust in me." I leaned up and pecked his lips.
"So were not going snowboarding today right?" He helped my put my boots on to make sure they were comfortable.
"No we are just getting them in advance."
After getting fitted for everything, we loaded up our gear in the cab of his truck and took off down the road. He pulled into another parking lot and I smiled when I noticed where we were. We were a Christmas tree farm, not the same one from junior year. I leaned over and kissed his cheek. I was in New York with my dads seeing some shows, so I didn't get to help pick out his tree last year. We hopped out of the truck and strolled hand in hand through the rows of beautiful green trees.
Finn suddenly stopped and turned to me. "I'll take this side you take that side?" even though this reminds me of the night he broke up with me two years ago, I was happy. We both walked in different directions till we were at either side.
"You better not break up with me at the end Finn Hudson!" I smiled, knowing he wouldn't. He winked at me and we started walking down our separate isles, sneaking peeks at each other along the way. I didn't really know what I was looking for. I guessed something tall and full of branches, but I figured I'd let Finn pick. I got to the end to see Finn checking a tree. He was so amazing, my heart ached at how much I loved him. He caught me staring and walked over to me.
He took my hands in his, he looked a little nervous, which also made me nervous. "Rachel, I love you so so much. I honestly can not wait to move out to New York and start a life with you. You being the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last before I got to sleep. Surprising you with dinner when you get home from a rough day. Just being with you." He got down on one knee and my knees buckled. "This isn't a wedding ring. I want to marry you someday, but to day I want a promise. I promise that I will never lie or cheat, and I will try to never disappoint you. I promise to be there for you whenever where ever. And I promise to love you even after I die. You're the one Rachel Berry, promise me you'll be mine forever. Promise me you'll say yes when I ask you to marry me someday. Promise me." I blinked the tears out of my eyes and smiled down at the most amazing boyfriend/future husband.
I could tell my voice was going to be shaky, I started crying before he said anything. "I promise."
The biggest smile wiped across his face and he opened the little black box. It was a plain silver band, but on the inside it says 'I promise forever, Finn&Rachel.' I smiled as he slipped it on my ring finger. He stood up wrapping me in his arms and spun me around a few times. He placed my back down and caressed my tear stained cheeks.
"I love you so much Finn Hudson." and with that said his lips were on mine. Usually in public I wasn't big on displaying my affections to the world but I don't care. I don't think either of us have ever shared a kiss this passionate before. He pulled back and we just stared into each others eyes for a moment.
He grabbed my hand. "I found a tree, how about we go decorate it?"
I smiled up at him and nodded. "Yeah this definitely beats last time we went tree shopping."
