A/N: Hello again guys ! I'm so so so sorry for the late update. It's my finals and I got a lot of school stuff to do so I didn't have any more time to write. But i tried my best to finish this since everyone wanted this chapter before the Cory/Finn tribute airs. I know in some places that the episode airs later so i wanted to post this still before you watch it.
There's a big warning in here but i know you're ready for it since i made this rated M since the beginning. it's not actually smut but it's still intimate so get ready. i cut Finn's party into two since i really wanted to post this today. This is the first part and the second may not be that eventful.
I apologize for the mistakes since English is not my first language and i still suck at English :)
So, again thanks for all the kind reviews. i can't believe everyone are still reading this after all of the things that happened. I truly thank you all.
Enjoy reading.
Disclaimer: Glee is not mine. Let us all prepare for the tribute.
Rachel's POV
I felt the sweat dripping down my neck as I moved to the beat of one of the hits of David Guetta. This is actually the first time that I enjoyed this much in the club, dancing and drinking with friends. Blaine and I went to bars when we have free time but we don't really dance at all. We just want to take the stress from work out and sometimes catch up with each other.
I glanced at Finn from the bar. He's directly looking at me, watching me from afar and I guess also enjoying the view. I tried pulling him to the dance floor a couple of times and dance with me but failed every time. He said that he wasn't really in to dancing and he's just going to watch me instead. I heard a snort from Kurt and I think maybe he's just really shy about dancing. I actually don't think that Finn can dance. He looks like someone who doesn't have time to party.
I smiled at him and he just winked at me. I looked to Kurt next to me who seems to be looking at someone on the dance floor. I continue dancing even when I felt a little bit tired. This is the only time that I will get to do this, better make every second counts. I swayed my hips from side to side, being a little bolder since I drank four glasses of Cosmo. I felt tipsy but feeling a lot more relax now that I'm dancing. I should really do this more. Well, if I'm not busy from my work –
I stopped myself from dancing. My almost inebriated state was suddenly replace by my normal self. Shit! I forgot that today is Monday and I have a work tomorrow. I walked straight towards Finn, pushing myself out from the now crowded dance floor, leaving Kurt dancing. I made it there and I finally felt the tiredness in my body from all that dancing.
"Here, drink this. You look exhausted." Finn passed water to me and I accepted it, drinking all of it. He just watched me, amused.
"What time is it?" I asked him, putting the glass back on to the counter and sitting next to him.
"It's already midnight. Why?"
"What?" I gasped. I danced for that long?
"You don't have to go to work tomorrow if you don't want. I'll just call – "
"Don't! I need to go to work. There are still plenty of files that I need to finish." I stopped him, rambling a little.
"Okay. I'll just talk to Kurt. Stay here." He stood from his seat and went to the dance floor. I stayed just like he said, watching him make his way to Kurt. I ordered another glass of water and looked at my phone. There is a message from Blaine.
Wer r u?
I hit reply.
At a bar wid Finn n his bro. Y?
U went 2 a bar w/o me?
Yeah. Sorry I didn't txt u.
U owe me B. I hav sumthing 2 tell u. When can we meet?
How about tomorrow?
Okay. See ya!
See ya! X
I put my phone back to my bag, looked back at the dance floor and saw Finn walking towards me.
"Where's Kurt?"
"He said we should go first. He's meeting with someone here."
"Oh."
"Come on. I'll take you home." I grabbed my bag and he held my hand as we exit the crowded place and get inside his car. Thomas immediately start the car and left the front of the bar.
"I never thought you could dance like that, you know?" Finn said, grabbing my hand and giving it a kiss.
"Well, I didn't know I can do that, too. It's my first time doing it actually." I giggled.
"Good to know that I witnessed it first. Is there any more talent that I should know from you my lovely lady?" he smirked.
"Actually, my main talent is singing. I was a singer at some club when I was still in college. It's my part-time job back then. Then I stopped when I graduated."
"You stopped singing?"
"I stopped working as a singer. I decided to find a job that suited my knowledge and skills base from my degree. I still sing sometimes with my friends at karaoke bars, and sometimes in the shower."
"Oh. I guess I'm a bit curious about you singing. Can I hear you sing?" he asked.
"Soon. Right now I just want to cuddle up with you until we reach my house. I won't be seeing you the whole day tomorrow because I'm going to be working." I hugged his arm and pulled him closer to me while I put my head on his shoulder.
"I can just go visit you at your work tomorrow if you'd like or you can just call in sick." He suggested, chuckling when I nudged him in his side.
"I won't. I need to work and be professional, even if I am dating the richest bachelor in New York who can understand that no means no."
"No is a negative word for me, Miss Berry. It's the last thing I want to hear from anyone, especially you. But since you said it, I guess I can compromise. I'll try not to say yes to anything if you'd do something for me in return."
"What is it?" I muttered, not looking at him. I'm too exhausted to do anything.
"You won't go think about the negative stuff that people are going to say if I give something to you." he said, his voice becoming serious.
I sighed and turned my head to see his face. "I can't promise that I won't but I'll try." I closed my eyes as I snuggled close to him, if that is even possible.
He encircled his arms around my waist and the other to my knees and pulled me into his lap, carrying me bridal style. If I'm not tired I would have freak out and squealed but I let him do what he wants.
"I love you Rachel Berry." I heard him whispered before I fell out of sleep.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I woke up in my bed, not knowing how I ended up in there. I sat up and glanced around the room and found no Finn. I checked the clock to check the time and found a folded paper next to it. I took it and unfolded it; finding out it was from him.
Rach,
I really wanted to stay and sleep with you but I don't want your father found me next to you and kill me while sleeping. I'll see you this evening. I love you!
F
I hold it tight against my chest. I know it's just a simple letter but I can't help but squealed with joy. It's not like I get a lot of letters from my admirers, so this is a big thing for me. Finn Hudson is leaving me a note before leaving is surprising and sweet. I got up and put the letter in my bag. I still have 10 hours to spend in the office today and I need to focus on my work. I still need to prepare a gift for him. I looked at the time, finding out that I still have a lot of time before going to work. I just need to work fast and not make any mistake. I ran out of my room; already know what I should give Finn. I just hope he will like it.
I arrived at the office, five minutes before the time, feeling excited and nervous at the same time. I'm excited about seeing him tonight but nervous about the party. Everyone is going to be there and I'm freaking the hell out because I will be known finally as Finn Hudson's girlfriend. I don't know how I will act around all of them.
I went to my desk and prepared the files that I need to work on before submitting it Mr. Daniels. Okay, Rachel. Time to work. I make myself busy the whole day, setting aside the upcoming event that I'm still nervous about going to.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Finn's POV
I sat there in my chair, staring out of the New York skyline, nervous about what's going to happen later. Everyone is going to be there, especially my mom. I don't know what kind of plan she has for me. Every time I celebrate my birthday, she always has plans how to always ruin it for me. That's why I don't want to stay every time she made a party for me. But now that Rachel will be there, I'm more nervous than before. I don't want her to witness whatever will happen later.
A knocked cut me from all my thoughts. I turned my chair around and found my secretary standing at the door.
"What is it?" I asked, when she doesn't say anything.
"Um, I-I just want to greet you a Happy Birthday, sir," she smiled a little before stepping closer.
"Thanks. You're gonna be at the party later, right?"
"Yes, sir." She nodded.
"Good. Thanks Tina."
"You're welcome, Mr. Hudson." She smiled again before turning to leave my office.
My phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and looked at the screen. I have a text from Kurt, Santana and Sam. I guess I was too caught up with my thoughts that I didn't felt my phone vibrating.
From Kurt:
Happy bday big bro. im excited for d party 2nite. See u!
From Santana:
Tell tinkerbell dat im gonna pick her up later. We still nid to look hot wen you see us later. Have a nice bday grey. x
From Sam:
Happy birthday man. See you at the party.
I put my phone back to my pocket, not replying back to everyone's texts. They are all excited and I couldn't care less. I stood up and fixed my coat, turning myself from all professional mode again. I still have a lot of meetings to attend to before I made myself ready for tonight. I walked out of my office, trying to put aside all my thoughts about the party tonight.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The meetings ended faster than I thought. I never attentively listened to any of it to be honest. I just stared at the file they would give to me, find something to ask, ask them to change something, reject them and that's it. My head is not in it, at all. My mind keeps going back to the party and to Rachel.
I just want to be with her right now. I want to be stay in bed with her and forget the world for a while. If I just stayed with her last night, I would have been a bit okay right now. I'm being a gentleman, that's all. I don't want her father to think something awful and will end up bad for the two of us. I still don't know his father. I don't what he looks like and what he's deal. I know I could ask for a background check on him but Rachel might not want that. Is it weird that I'm now thinking what will Rachel think about what I'm doing?
I went back to my office after listening to my itinerary, thanks to Tina, and sat back to my chair. It's almost lunch time and I can't wait to see Rachel. I called Thomas and told him to get the car ready when I text him later. I stood up and went to get a glass of water. There's a knock on my door when I went back to my chair.
"Mr. Hudson?" Tina peek her head from the door.
"Yes?"
"There's a Quinn Fabray downstairs looking for you, Should I send her up?"
I stared at my secretary for a moment. What the hell is she doing here? I think for a moment. I really don't want to speak to her, especially right now when my mind is full of concerns. But I know if I won't let her she will just find a way to talk to me, even if I'm with Rachel, and that will just be a hell lot of bad news.
"Tell downstairs to send her up. Cancel my next meeting. Thanks, Tina." Tina just nodded before closing the door. I sat on my chair, finished my drink while waiting for Quinn. Whatever it is that she wants should be worth of my time.
The door finally opens and Quinn stepped inside my office, still looking like we'd been friends ever since we'd met. She smiles and waves at me and I just looked at her, analyzing her every movement like I'm finding something that will tell me what she want from me.
"You're still mad, I guess." She muttered before sitting down at the couch. She looks around, noticing every detail that she will find in my office before sending her eyes back at me. "This is a nice room. Very much like you."
"What do you want Quinn?" I asked her bluntly.
She sighed. "I just wanted to apologize to you, about what happened at the bar that day. I didn't know that you're with someone. I'm sorry, Finn."
I stared at her for a while, looking for a sign that will tell me that she's bluffing, but try as I might, I found nothing. She's really sincere about this and I guess I was just surprise. She really must have change a little.
I sighed. "It's fine, Quinn. You didn't even know what's happening that day so you don't have to apologize."
"But the way I acted that day was completely inappropriate. I don't even know what I was thinking." She retorted.
"It's in the past Quinn. Let it go."
"I know, Finn, but I felt awful about it. I don't want to cause any trouble between you and you're girlfriend. Are you two okay?"
I eyed her for a minute. I just can't shake this feeling in me that she's here for a reason and I know it's not just to apologize about that night. For me it's not a big deal anymore. I have Rachel now in my life. I don't think I should be thinking about stuff that doesn't matter anymore.
"Rachel and I are fine. She's going to be my date to the party later." I closed the folder that I was studying earlier and stood up. I stepped closer to the window and look out the skyline once again.
"Oh, that's great, Finn," she said. "I guess I'll see her tonight then."
I spun and looked at her. "What?"
"Your mom invited me tonight. I was a little bit uncertain about it at first but she said I was a good friend to her and to you and it will sadden her if I won't come, so I said yes. Is that okay?"
I frowned. "It's fine. My mom's right. You've been a family friend for a long time now."
"I really hope that we can still be good friends, Finn." She said, changing the subject. "I know what I've done in the past was awful but I still care about you, as a friend. Look, maybe we should talk some time, maybe have some coffee? Whatever suits you, Finn. I gotta go. I'll see you and Rachel tonight, okay?"
I looked at her and I just nodded and smiled a little. I'm still doubting her motives. I don't know if she's really wants to be friends or not but I guess I'll give the benefit of the doubt. Besides, she's been a good friend to me and my family even before we began dating.
She stepped closer to me and pulled me in for a hug, which actually caught me off guard. I put my arm in her back, just so she could say that I have her back. She step back a little and smiled at me. The door opens all of a sudden and I found Rachel with Tina, staring at me and Quinn who is standing too close to me.

Rachel's POV
I finished my work an hour before lunch and since my boss is in a good mood for some reason, he let me take an early lunch. I was glad of course because I can get to see Finn and I want to surprise him when I go there. I hailed a cab and told the driver to go to his building.
I'm excited, I always am. Whenever I'm going to see him, I feel this so excited that I just want to feel this every day. It's a bit obsessing, I know, but I can't help myself. I'm just in love with that guy. Yes, I can finally admit that to myself and maybe I can say it to him later as a part one of my birthday gift. The other is in my house, which is now prepared for the party later. It's not much but I think it will make him smile even just a little.
The cab arrived at the front of the building. I paid the driver and got off, entering the enormous building that is owned by my freakishly rich boyfriend. I went towards the front desk where a blonde woman is sitting and talking to someone. When I stopped in front of her desk, she turned to me and smiled.
"Can I help you?"
"Um, I'm here to see Mr. Hudson." I said politely.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Er, no." I bit my lip. I didn't know seeing Finn while at work is hard. I never went to his office by myself. The first time I was with him and the next is with Santana. I don't think this woman even recognized me.
"Can I have your name?" the woman asked, turning to her computer.
"Rachel Berry." I answered. The woman glanced back to me and blinked.
"Oh, Ms. Berry. I apologize. I didn't know you were her. I'm sorry. You can go up now." she said, gesturing to the elevators to her left. My eyebrows rose. What just happened?
"Um, thanks!" I smiled back to her before walking towards the elevators. I stepped inside the elevator once the doors opened. I push the highest floor and the elevator ascends.
That's weird. I didn't know what just happened downstairs. I guess I could tell Finn that later. Will he be surprised that I visit him? Will he get mad? I hope not. Maybe I should just text him first. Wait, why am I panicking? I have every right to visit him whenever I want. He's my boyfriend and he always does that to me whenever I'm at work. But of course he's the boss; he can do whatever he wants. I'm not the boss of him.
The elevator finally stopped and the doors opened. Okay, here goes nothing. I stepped out of the elevator and went straight to her Asian secretary. The woman looked up from her table and stood quickly.
"Ms. Berry, good morning!" she greeted.
I smiled at her. "You can just call me Rachel. Um, is Finn busy? I'm actually here to visit him and I wanted it to be surprised." I bit my lip once again, worrying.
"Oh. Mr. Hudson is speaking to someone inside but he said you can come in anytime." I rolled my eyes at that. Of course he would say that. Finn gets what he wants, every time.
"Please follow me, Ms – um, Rachel" she smiled and turned to Finn's office. She knocked first before entering, me following behind.
When we're finally inside, I stopped next to Tina, looking directly at Finn and the woman that she's speaking with who is standing too close to her, right now. I blinked many times, looking at the two. Finn was surprised, but not the kind of surprise I was hoping to see. He was guilty? Scared? I don't even know what to think. I look at the woman. She looks familiar. I know I saw her before. I looked at her hand that is holding Finn's arm and then I remember. She's the woman I saw at the bar with Finn.
"Rachel," Finn spoke. He step away from the woman and went towards me. I'm still not speaking and I don't know why. I guess I'm the one who's surprise.
"Rachel, Quinn's here to apologize about what happened at the bar that day." Oh, she has a name and it's pretty just like her. I didn't hear anything Finn said next. I'm busy staring at the woman, Quinn. She looks worried and remorseful.
I glanced at my left and noticed Tina is no longer in the room. I looked up to Finn, still talking about something.
"Don't be mad, please?" he pleaded. Am I mad? I don't know. Surprise, yes but mad? No.
I held Finn's arm, halting him from talking. "It's okay." I smiled at him.
"You're not mad?" he asked.
"No. I'm just surprised, I guess."
I felt Finn relax. He stood next to me and put his hand around my shoulders. "Quinn, this is Rachel. She's my girlfriend." He told her.
I saw Quinn's face relaxed too when Finn introduces me. "Hi, I'm Quinn. Quinn Fabray. I'm sorry about what happened that day, Rachel. I have no idea that you two were together and I – "
"We're not together that time, actually." I interrupted her.
"Oh?"
"We've become a couple the next day." Finn retorted.
"Wow, that's great, I guess. I'm happy that I didn't broke a relationship again." She smiled. Again?
"Well, it's really nice talking to both of you. Again, I'm sorry about what happened and I hope we all can be friends. I gotta go. I still need to go pick up my dress for tonight. It was nice finally meeting you, Rachel. See you at the party." She waved and smiled before leaving the office.
"Are you sure you're not mad?" Finn asked again.
"I'm not mad, Finn." I turned to him and kiss him, directly in the mouth. He reciprocated it but I stopped before it turns to another intense make out, making him groaned.
"You don't wanna be caught again by Santana, right? She always have her entrance every time we did this so it's better to be safe." I giggled when he pouted.
"So are you excited for your party?" I asked, changing the subject.
He sighed, went to the couch and sat. I followed him, noticing his change of mood.
"What's wrong?" I rubbed his back, trying to give him comfort.
"I don't know. I never had been excited to my birthday. Everybody's seems to be excited and I can't make myself to feel that."
"Why?"
"It's – I – I don't know. I guess I'm just not the birthday celebrating guy, you know. Ever since my Dad died, I didn't actually celebrate my birthday anymore." He sighed. I, on the other hand, was curious about what he just said. This is the first time that he mentions his dad and I don't know if I should ask him about it.
"C-can I ask you a question?" I asked him, hesitating a little. "It's about your dad, is that okay?"
I felt his body stiffened for a moment before it relaxes again. He looked at me, searching my eyes for what? Trust? I don't know. I waited for him to speak. If he doesn't want to talk about then I won't force him. He said to give him time to share his life to me and I trust him on that.
"What do you wanna know?" he said, his voice a little unsure.
"Um," I tried to think of a question that will lighten his mood a little. I don't want him to feel terrible today. "Are you two close?"
He smiled. "Yeah, we are. When I was a kid, we used to play catch at the backyard and we watched football after that even though my mom won't let me because she said it was not for kids." He chuckled.
"What happened to him?" I blurt out. I looked at him, gauging his reaction and he seems a bit nervous for a reason. "You don't have to answer that if you want. I just – "
"No, it's okay, Rach. He was – it was a car accident." He turned his face away. I waited for him to speak again but he didn't so I just nodded.
"Oh," I said, thinking of something to change the subject but I failed. I can't help but wonder what happened to him and his mother and why he seems to be not close with her. I didn't get the chance to be close with my mom but I know everyone wants to.
"Hey," Finn said, cutting me from my thoughts. He smiled at me but I know he's just trying to be happy. "Don't think too much about it, okay? It's in the past now. Let's just eat lunch and talk about the upcoming bonding moment between you and Santana later." He chuckled when I rolled my eyes. He stood and pulled me up. He's right. I shouldn't dwell on this stuff now, knowing that it's his big day. I don't want him to feel negative about something.
When we reached the table, he pulled my chair for me and pushes it back when I sat down. He served me my lunch for today, which looks very green and yummy, gives me a kiss in the head before sitting to the chair next to me after putting his own lunch on the table.
"What is this?" I gestured to the food in front of me. I picked up my fork and started to eat the veggies first. It tastes heaven!
"It's porcini crusted seitan filet. Do you like it?"
"I love it," I said, looking down at the dish before saying, "and you, as well."
I didn't look back up but I felt him stilled.
"W-what did you just say?" he muttered.
"I said I love the food." I teased him, knowing fully what he's talking about. I look back up and find him smiling.
"No, the last one."
"Which one?" I stared at him, not being able to hide my smile anymore.
"The last one. The one that was meant for me."
"Oh, that," I trailed off, trying to look like that I'm thinking. He waited for me to say something but I just stared at him for a moment. I'm teasing him too much now.
"Well?" he asked.
"I love you!" I whispered, but I know that he heard it.
"What?" he grins.
"I love you."
"Can you repeat that? I didn't quite catch it." He asked.
"I said I –" I didn't get to finish what I'm about to say because he crashes his lips at me carried me up from my chair. I giggled when he peppered my face with kisses.
"Say it again," he said when he put me back down.
"I love you, Finn Hudson." I looked at him square in the eye and caressing his face with the back of my hand. "I love you so much."
He grins and pulled me into a hug. "I want to hear you say that over and over again."
"Don't worry. I'll never get tired saying that to you."
He pulls back and stared at me. "I love you, too, so much more." He muttered.
I pulled him down and connect my lips to his again, wanting to never let him get away from me again.

The day went by faster than I expected. I finished all my work for today and even have time to chat with Marley and Sebastian. As it turned out, Marley and Jake started seeing each other. They've been seeing each other for a week now. Sebastian, on the other hand, didn't get much luck in love. He and Blaine didn't even last a week according to Sebastian, which I knew since Blaine told me that he's seeing someone new. I just didn't ask him what happened with him and Sebastian.
Sebastian seems a bit bitter about it since he won't stop telling me that it was Blaine's lost. I felt sorry for him, to be honest, but I know Blaine and I know if he just doesn't like the guy, there's no chance that he would date them for more than a week. Now I'm curious what's with Sebastian that he didn't like. The guy looks like a good man to me.
When the clock strikes five and everyone started to leave, the three of us went down the building together, me ignoring Kitty and Sugar while Sebastian and Marley mock them by mimicking their voices. All I can do was laugh. When we reached the lobby, I said my goodbyes to them and promised to go have a drink with them on Friday.
I saw Thomas waiting for me outside with Finn's infamous limo. I waved hello to him and got inside the vehicle when he opened the passenger door. Santana was already inside talking with someone on the phone. She glanced at me, smirked and continues to talk on the phone.
The vehicle finally stopped and when I glanced outside, we are in front of my apartment. I turned to look at Santana - who just ended her conversation - a bit shocked and confused why we are in here.
"What are we doing here?" I asked her.
"Oh, I didn't tell you? We're going to be fixing ourselves here. Sorry. I just wanted some place where I can do whatever I want. Hope you don't mind." She said and climbed out of the vehicle.
I got out of the vehicle and followed her, still not okay with what's going on. "Whatever you want? This is my house, for your information. I think it's inappropriate for you to go in here and do whatever you want." I snapped at her.
She stopped and faces me. "Can you not overreact about this? The make-up and hairstylists are already inside. There's nothing you can do about it now."
My eyes went wide at what she just said. "What?!" I almost yelled at her. She just huffed and continue to enter the apartment building. "You let some strangers inside my house? How did you even get the key?" Finn and I should really talk about her. This is just insane.
Santana didn't speak until we entered my apartment. The first thing I saw when I entered is the people who are arranging things inside my house. There are racks of different dresses and gowns inside, Make-up kits and two tables with mirrors that people used mostly in salons.
I was left stunned and surprisingly amazed by all of it. I look at Santana who is now sitting in front of the mirror while someone is doing her hair. She looked at me by the mirror, her eyebrow rising.
"What happened to the things we bought yesterday?" I asked, still looking around.
"Don't worry about them. They're still yours. I just wanted to have more things to choose from." She shrugged.
I still stood and stared at everything. I can't believe this is all happening inside my house. I stared at Santana, who is starting to get her hair fix by someone.
"Are you just gonna stand there and gawk at me? Can someone take this dwarf and start what you have paid to do?" she rolled her eyes then went back to admiring herself in the mirror.
A brunette woman went to me and gently pulled me to the table next to Santana's. I just sat there and look at myself in the mirror. This is finally happening. I'm going to Finn's birthday later and I don't know how to react. After today, everyone is going to find out who I am. Rachel Barbra Berry, Finn Hudson's girlfriend. Should I be happy? I am happy. Happy that I found someone who never took me for granted. Someone who didn't care about how rich he is and how low life I am. But why do I feel like I'm about to have my death sentence today? Maybe I'm just not expecting a lot like this in my life to happen.
I glance in my dad's room. I don't know if he's here in the house. I didn't see him nowadays since he's always at some bar getting drunk. I turned back to the mirror and stared at the woman who is now fixing my hair.
"Um, did you see someone in here before you went in?" I asked her. The lady just stopped at what she's doing and turned to me. "Is there someone in here when you went in?"
"Don't worry, Berry. I already took care of your dad." Santana cuts in.
My eyes went wide again as I turned to look at Santana. "You – "
"Yep. I think I knew more about you than your rich boyfriend." She shrugged. I waited for her to say something rude to me, like Finn and I shouldn't be together because my father is a stupid alcoholic who can even walk straight when drunk or I'm nothing like any of them and I'm just dating Finn to be called as one of them. But I just stared at her and received nothing. Not even a disgusted look at me. She just stares at me with her eyes that have no judgment, like she accepts everything that I am.
I turned my head back to my mirror and think for a moment. Will she tell Finn about my dad? Am I ready to face him after he finds out? Will he freak out? Will he broke up with me? Will he –
"Stop thinking too much," Santana said. I looked at her by the mirror and she just gave me a small smile. "Just be yourself. Be that Rachel who made Finn fall in love. Just be you and nothing else matters to him." And by that, she turned to look at herself in the mirror. That's the first time I saw Santana be a comforting woman. I think that's why she and Finn became best friends. They never let each other down.
When the brunette woman was done with me, a guy led me to a rack of fancy dresses. He measured me and turned to pick the clothes that have my size.
Tonight echoed throughout the whole room and I went to my bag which I left in the couch to get my phone, apologizing to everyone who just gave me weird looks.
I took my phone out of my bag and answered Blaine's call.
"Hey, B! What's up?"
"What's up? Hmm, let's see. My best friend went into a bar last night without me and now she's going to his boyfriend who is her boss' boss and I'm just sitting here in my studio, looking at my computer to know what she'd been up to this past few days." He greeted me. I can feel the bitterness in his voice and all I can do is feel guilty and terrified.
"I know I'm so sorry. I will make it up to you I promise." I apologized to him.
"With drinks, right?" he said, knowing that he is smiling now.
"Yes, of course. My treat!" I giggled.
"Good. God, I miss you so much!" he groaned.
"I know. I miss you too, B! Look, I have to get going. I still need to dress and prepare myself for Finn's birthday. I'll text you after, okay?"
"Fine." He sighed.
"I love you!"
"I love you too!" and then I hang up. I went back to the guy who finally picked something for me to wear. It was a cream-colored gown with a deep v-cut in front and backless. I stopped in my tracks when I saw it.
"Um, is that mine?" I asked.
"Yes, Miss Berry. Miss Lopez picked this out for you." I went to look at Santana, who is now wearing a black tight-fitted dress with the top cut low that can totally show how hot she is.
"I can't wear something like this, Santana! It's just too – revealing." I said, giving the dress a look of disgust.
"You're going to wear that so none of the women on that party will think that Finn deserves better." She steps closer to me. "You've got a gorgeous body, Berry. Trust me, I know. I've been checking you out since I saw you. Look, all I want you to do is to be confident in your own body. Show Finn and everyone that is going to be there that you're the hottest bitch on that place and Finn chose the perfect woman for her."
"Don't you think it's too much? I mean I think I'm going to show too much skin if every time I move a little on that dress." I retaliated.
"You're going to look hot on that dress. It's time to show Finn what Rachel can really do, Berry. You're wearing this, end of story." She ordered before she returned back to her table and studied herself. All I can do is sighed in defeat as the guy helped me to get inside the dress.

Finn's POV
The clock ticks by as I wait for the two ladies to come out of Rachel's apartment. Santana gave me an explicit instruction to just wait outside once I get to my girlfriend's apartment. I tried to argue but having Santana as your best friend is a little difficult because she wants what she wants. All I can do now is to wait until the two makes their way out to that front door of the apartment building.
To be honest, I am kind of excited what will Rachel will look like. She's beautiful whatever clothes she wear, but this is the first time that I'm going to see her dress up for a special event like this. Rachel in her uniform is hot for me, like sneaky hot. I don't know if she in a gown will make me drool every time I look at her.
My imaginations had been cut when the front door suddenly opens and revealed Santana, who is wearing a tight black dress that shows everyone how hot she truly is. Not that I didn't know since she always wear stuff like that.
I got out of the vehicle and waited for Rachel to walk out. Santana went beside me and turned to look at the front door, too.
"Where is she?" I asked impatiently.
"Just wait. She's on her way down." She crosses her arms and leaned against the limo.
"I waited long enough, Santana. Why you two took so long anyway? You have been in there for almost an hour. And you've been in Rachel's apartment two hours ago." I complained.
"We've been friends for so long now, Grey. Don't you think you should have known that by now? We're ladies. We always take a lot of time dressing up." She reasoned out.
I waited a little longer, my feet already tapping into the pavement as I stare at the door. I glanced at Santana and she's busy staring at her newly-painted nails.
"That's it, I'm going in." I said and I stride towards the apartment. I halted immediately when Rachel steps out of the door, looking exactly what I've been hoping she would. No, she looks way better than I've imagined. Every bit of her is perfect in my eyes. I have to blink my eyes a few times just to make sure that this moment is real. She stopped in front of me and I stared at her in awe.
"Wow, Rachel, you, you just, you look -"
"You do, too." She smiled, stopping in front of me. "Come on, I think we're already late for your party."
"Wait, I just wanna remember this. Us." I stared at her, wanting to remember every detail of her.
"Save it when you two are already swapping spits in private," Santana groaned. "Come on. I already need a drink." She climbed inside the limo, leaving a rolling a bemused Rachel and me, who still gawking at her entire body.
"Come on. Let's not make the Satan wait." Rachel said. I chuckled at the nickname she gave for Santana as I escorted her to enter the vehicle. I already can't wait to have an alone time with her.

The party is just what I have expected. Once the three of us stepped inside the venue, everyone stared like they were all waiting for me to arrive. I ignored them, looking down at Rachel who seems to be a little uncomfortable by the situation.
We went to take our seats on the table that is reserved for us, nodding at everyone who greeted me and ignoring the ones who took a curious glance at Rachel. I scanned the crowd looking for three certain individuals, Kurt, Burt and my mom. I spotted Kurt and Burt talking to each other a little further from where I'm sitting.
"Come on, I'm going to introduce to some people." I said to Rachel. I stood waiting for her to do the same. She seems reluctant for a moment before she stood and I held her hand tightly as we made our way to my family.
"Finn! Happy Birthday!" Kurt exclaimed when he spotted us. He gave me and Rachel a hug before he turned to Burt. "Dad, this is Finn's girlfriend, Rachel."
"Uh, Kurt." I cut in. "I'm here. I should be doing that."
"Oh, sorry. I'm just excited for you." He chuckled.
"It's okay, Finn." Rachel and Burt said in unison. The two just stared at each other, smiling.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Rachel." Burt said. "Kurt had been mentioning you a lot to me when we talked on the phone so it's really nice to finally put a face on a name."
"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Hummel. I've read a lot about you, too, on newspapers." She smiled sheepishly.
Burt just chuckles at her. "I'd get that a lot."
"Um, where's mom?" I asked Kurt.
"I saw her earlier but I don't know where she would go. I think she's just talking with some of her friends." Kurt answered.
I looked at Rachel, who is still talking to Burt with something and then glanced at the crowd to serach for my mother.
"Um, may I have everyone's attention, please?"

Rachel's POV
The sound of the microphone echoes through the whole place and made everyone stop what they're doing and look at the stage. I turned and saw Quinn gathering everyone's attention from the stage. I guess it doesn't surprises me that she can do that easily, since just looking at her, being more beautiful than she is can make everyone turn their heads on her.
"Good evening everyone. I'm Quinn, a friend of the Hudson-Hummel family and would like to thank you for coming tonight."
I turned to Finn and who is also staring at Quinn and I tried to find out what he's thinking just by looking at him. He seems okay about everything that's happening but he doesn't seem to be relaxed at all. Santana suddenly stood next to him and talked to him. I couldn't hear what they're saying from where I stand. Finn said something and Santana just rolled her eyes. I excused myself from Mr. Hummel and I step closer to Finn. He smiled and held my hand while I stood next to him. Santana didn't speak again and I was left curious.
"… So let's give a round of applause for the man of the hour, Mr. Finn Hudson." Quinn introduces Finn and everyone turned to stare at us, well at him. I look up at him and he just gave them all a brief smile. He turned to me and kiss me in the cheek before walk his way to the stage.
Quinn gave him a hug as he arrived on stage, making me feel a little bit jealous. I shouldn't but I just can't help it since they used to be a couple and everyone knows how good they look together.
"You look like you're about to murder someone in their sleep. If that person is Quinn, then I'll be glad to help you out." Santana said next to me.
"They look good together." I muttered, but Santana still heard it.
"Yeah, they are. But even better when you look at them separately." She shrugged. When I didn't say anything she just took another glass of wine from a waiter and took big sip.
"Did Finn love her a lot when they're together?" I asked out of curiosity. I'm not jealous. I can't be.
"Stop being a sappy old maid, Berry. It doesn't look good on you." Took a sip. "Look, if Finn still loves that girl, do you think he would spend another day to be with someone like you? Finn doesn't cheat. He's not like that. And if you just listen with what I told you yesterday, you wouldn't have to be acting like that," she cocked her head to the side.
I remembered what she said to me yesterday. How can I forget that? I was so embarrassed that day when she is telling me about that. But even if I see any other way, I'm still not sure about that. I'm not the type of girl that makes some dirty move to my boyfriend.
"Guys sometimes wants girls to dominate them when it comes to sex. It makes them feel loved and wanted. I'm still not saying that you should give up your virginity to him, I just want you to let loose a little. Be a bad girl for once in a while. Don't be like the other couples that look like they'd come from the Stone Age."
Should I really do this? I love Finn, I really do. But I know Finn is just controlling himself every time we get intimate and I don't want to let him think that I do not trust him enough with my body. I want him to be my first because I know he won't hurt me, at all. But I'm still scared because I don't know how to do what Santana is saying.
I took a deep breath as I stared at Finn, who is about to get down on the down after his speech. I turned to Santana, who is watching me. "Tell me what to do." Here goes nothing.

Finn and I went back to our table, him looking at me curiously. Santana let me finish two shots of vodka that she got from the bar. I asked her what is it for and she said that's the only thing I needed for me to get to the plan. I felt the vodka stings into my throat as it slid down to my stomach. I felt a little bit dizzy, since it's my first time trying this kind of liquor. When Blaine and I went to a bar, I always ordered a glass of Cosmo and that's it.
"Are you okay?" Finn squeezed my hand when we sat on our seats.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Finn blinked a couple of times after I spoke.
"Your breath smells like alcohol, have you been drinking?" he looked around searching for something.
"A little bit." I bit my lip, which is surprisingly numb. I didn't know that I have a low tolerance in alcohol since now.
"Where is Santana? That little – "
"Finn, she didn't force me into it. I just … needed something to drink, that's all."
"You could have ordered a Cosmo, you know." He said, still looking around.
"I need something stronger. I guess I'm just nervous being here, being looked at by everyone."
"Don't worry about them, Rachel. Everybody knows now that you're girlfriend. They're just looking because they're jealous that I have the most beautiful woman right here with me."
I bit down my lip and smiled, blushing by everything Finn said. I pulled him closer and give him a kiss just to show him how much I appreciate everything he says or does for me. If we weren't in a public place like this, I could have straddled him and showed him how thankful I am to have him, but for now I guess I could just follow what Santana said.
I bit his bottom lip and pulled it before tearing my lips to his. Finn just stared at me, his eyes turns dark with lust and it's the only sign I need to know if my teasing is working properly.
"You know I was a little bit jealous when I saw you and Quinn at the stage earlier," I said, scooting my chair closer to his. "You two look good together." I muttered, playing with my fingernails while I stared at them.
Finn pulls my chin up by his fingers and looked at me in the eye. "Quinn and I are just friends now. Hell, I don't even know if that's the right word to use since I never really bonded with her since we broke up. And we may look good together but you and I, we look perfect together and that's the only thing that matters."
I put my hand to his thighs as I leaned in closer to whisper to his ear. "That's good to know, Finn, because I don't want anybody to take you away from me. You are mine, Finn. Every part of your body should be mine." I slide my hand slowly into his thighs, going into his inner thighs until I reach his crotch. "Even this." I said, licking his ear after.
I heard him hissed and when I leaned back to look at his face, he seems to be surprised and amused at me. I didn't remove my hand from his crotch and began playing my fingers there where I could feel his own manhood getting hard.
"If you will keep on doing that, we may have to leave this party sooner." He said through his teeth, trying his best not to make any unnecessary noise that can make other people look at us.
"What? You don't like it?" I asked, trying to sound disappointed and pouting while I hold his now hard penis.
"Rach … God" he moaned when I moved my hand up and down.
I don't know what I'm doing actually. I just know that the two (or was it three?) shot of vodka gave me a lot of confidence and now I end up like this. I know when I wake up the next day that I may forget about this but I don't want to. The way Finn licks his lips and stares at me makes me want to explode right here, right now. If Finn looks sexy just by staring at you with those eyes and smile, I don't know if the word sexy is still applicable to what I'm seeing right now. Is there even a word that tops that word?
"So, what should I do with this?" I asked him, leaning forward a little to show him my cleavage, which I learned from Santana by the way. I saw him glanced at it and felt his cock twitch in my hand. I smirked at him. "Should I give it a kiss?" I asked.
"God, yes." He said quickly, his breathing getting a bit fast.
"Right now?" I asked, squeezing his part a little to tease a little more.
"Rach," he moaned.
"Am I interrupting something?" the feminine voice makes us both startled. I pulled my hand back quickly as we both stared at the woman standing across the table.
Finn stood immediately and I looked at him. I looked back at the woman and I stilled when I realized that the woman in front of me is his –
"Mom." Finn said. Oh, crap.
A/N: So was it good? was it worth waiting for? please let me know.
Next chapter: Rachel meet Finn's mom for the first time and it's going to be so awkward and i know everyone knows why. Finn is going to have a lot of gifts and the gifts will truly shock Rachel and she may or may not give her present to Finn because of it. Carole will stick around for a while for some reasons.
