No, I don't wanna love if it's not you… maybe we can try one last time
I woke up feeling refreshed. It was the first good night of sleep I've had since I broke things off with Finn. The first thing I did when I got up was check my phone. I noticed I had one new text message. I unlocked my phone and went to my messages to see a text from Brody. I read it aloud. "Good morning beautiful. Let me know if you are free tonight I have a little something planned for us." I was excited.. I wonder what he had planned. "I think I can make sure I'm free tonight.. :)" I could tell he was typing and my heart was racing. "Sweet, I'll pick you up around 6." My fingers couldn't type fast enough. "Can't wait!" I put my phone down and decided to go get some breakfast.
I walked out into the kitchen and noticed Kurt was making pancakes. "Good Morning Kurt." He noticed the huge smile on my face, which was a shock since basically for the past few days I've been coming to breakfast with red puffy eyes from my countless hours of crying. "I see somebody is in a good mood. May I ask why?" I debated whether or not I should tell him since Finn is his brother but I figured I couldn't contain myself. "I have a date with Brody tonight." Kurt wasn't that happy but I didn't really expect him to be. "Are you sure that's a good idea? You just called things off with Finn. I love that you are happy right now but don't you think you need some time to find yourself and to heal? I mean just last night you were crying like it was the end of the world. I'm not trying to be mean but I think it's just a little too soon." I knew Kurt wouldn't be that approving and I know deep down that he is right but I want to be happy… "Look Kurt I completely get where you are coming from and I agree, but I need to feel happy again and right now Brody is the one making me feel something again.. I feel amazing right now and I want to see where this goes. This is something I need to do to find myself and if I find love along the way then that is a bonus." Kurt sighed "I'm not going to stop you. Just be careful Rachel. I really don't want to see you get hurt." He gave me a hug and then had to go leave for work.
I relaxed for most of the day since I didn't have any classes and then when it got close to six o'clock I got ready for my date. I love surprises even though I'm the most impatient person. I chose to wear a red silk dress that was a little above the knee and black stilettos. I curled my hair and put on some makeup. I finished the outfit off with a diamond necklace and earring set. I looked at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath. I guess this is what moving on feels like. I heard a knock on the door and I found Brody standing in front of me with a bouquet of roses. I had a feeling tonight was going to be a good night. I closed the door on my way out and grabbed Brody's hand.
xxx Thank you all for the reviews! I promise there will be some Finchel interaction in the near future. I'm a huge Finchel fan so Brody and Rachel won't necessarily be endgame in this story. There is lots of drama to come though. xxxx
