"Alright, we will see you later man. I hope everything goes well." Sam said. He and Finn were standing in Finn's room, and Sam just finished getting ready for his date with Mercedes.
"Vegetable casserole is in the oven, and everything is set up..." Finn smiled. He didn't care what Kurt had to say, and whether or not he doubted him; this plan was the best they had and Rachel was going to love it.
"Okay man. We will give you some time; make sure you work your magic." Sam winked, and they strolled out into the living room where everybody else was waiting. Sam took Mercedes by the arm and pulled her in for a sweet kiss, and Finn felt a pang of jealousy there, because he wanted to do that so badly to Rachel.
The two couples paraded out of the doorway, leaving Finn and Rachel standing in the living room engulfed in awkward silence.
"Are you hungry?" Finn asked.
"Did you make us dinner? Is that what I have smelled for the past 30 minutes?"
Finn looked down at his feet sheepishly, "Yup." Rachel smiled at his politely and they walked together towards the kitchen. The sight of the romantic setting took Rachel by surprise.
"Finn what is this?"
"Just sit." He said smoothly as he guided her to her seat. He spooned out a portion of the vegetable casserole onto her plate, and then some onto hers. Rachel was looking around in amazement at their transformed kitchen. They ate in silence for a few moments. Finn was surprised at how Rachel had reacted, and how she even agreed to come have dinner with him. Score: Finn 1 Kurt 0
"Finn, did you do all of this yourself?" Rachel asked, pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Yeah." He struggled to find words to say to her, he had so many feelings; but none of them could be voiced without him looking like an idiot in front of her.
"Well it's very sweet of you."
"You like it?"
"Yeah, I mean everybody else is out on their dates, so I was kinda worried being stuck in a house alone with you." Finn didn't really know how to response to that comment, so he just smiled in return. Things were quite between them for a moment, the only sound was the silverware hitting the plates. Finn was trying really hard to think of a way to work the conversation into the topic he was dying to discuss.
"Rachel, I meant what I said... about loving you." Finn blurted out. Rachel stared at him for a while, blush running up her cheeks.
"Finn- I-" She struggled to find words, and Finn took that as his opportunity; he got up out of his seat, and placed both hands on her face. Rachel made no action, so Finn took the lead and kissed her passionately. Just as quickly as the kiss had started, it ended. Rachel shoved Finn away, causing him to open his eyes and look at her breathless.
"What? I thought it was what you wanted."
"I can't Finn. I just can't. We should just be friends." She scrambled to find the words as she darted out of the kitchen, leaving a very heart broken Finn behind.
Chapter 13 Preview: Kurt and Mercedes convince Rachel to do something… a real plot twister. Oooh.
