Hello again! :)

I didn't take too long this time, did I? =D

Well, thank you all for the great reviews! You're really amazing! :)

I think I will update the next chapter in 3 days from now, because this story is supposed to have around 18 chapters and I'm writing 16... I'm kind of in a writer's block and the chapters are coming out a bit forced and I'm not liking them... But I count on you to put me in the right path again! :)

Let's move onto the chapter!

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Glee so I could marry Finn... *sigh*

Chapter 12: Don't you just hate clichés?

Rachel and Finn sat on her bed again, staring blankly at the wall in front of them. How and when did that happen? Flashbacks from the night were playing in front of their eyes.

Nervously, Rachel played with the golden band in around her finger. It had a pair of dice carved in the gold, with a number of dots that equaled 7. The exact number of years since they first met. The perfect number, as so many people called it. She realized what she had been doing and stopped.

"This must have been your idea." she broke the silence, to Finn's shocked expression.

"Why does it have to be my idea? Why is it always my fault?"

"Because I'm Rachel Berry and I never do reckless things like this." she replied matter-of-factly.

"Getting married is not reckless, Rachel! And you're as guilty as I am."

She shot him a furious look. Neither of them said a thing for what seemed to be an eternity.

"Don't you remember anything from last night?" Finn asked, cautiously.

She sighed and played with the golden band again.

"I thought it was a dream or something like that. My memory was refreshed when I saw the ring in your finger, though. Oh, I hate clichés so much!" she paused, frustrated "Do you remember anything?"

"Actually, I do remember it quite well. But I remember the sex better, like very, very well." she giggled, giving a small slap on his shoulder "What are we gonna do now, Rach?"

She seemed to be thinking and he grabbed her left hand, feeling the golden band against his skin.

"First of all, we can't tell anyone about this. Really anyone, Finn! Then we have to contact the priest, reverend or whatever that married us and ask for the annulment. It's the reasonable thing to do." he nodded.

"Okay," Finn mumbled "you´re right." he stood up and lent her a hand "Let's go find that priest."

-X-X-X-X-

After they retraced their steps from the previous night, they finally found the church. At the entrance, they hesitated.

"This is it, right Rachel?"

"Sure. Let's go in."

When they found the reverend, Finn mumbled to her "You do the talk." and she just rolled her eyes.

She rushed her pace and met the middle-aged man halfway.

"Good morning, reverend. I'm Rachel Berry and this is…"

"Finn Hudson, I know!" the man smiled brightly at them "You're the young couple from last night. Let me tell, I've never seen a couple more in love than you two!"

Finn and Rachel exchanged looks and he encouraged her to spill out what she had planned to say.

"Well," she started "yes, we came here last night. However, it was an unreasonable action, not very well thought. We can call it a mistake, if you prefer." the reverend furrowed his brows "What I'm trying to say is that it's too soon for us to take such a responsible step. So, we are here to ask you to annul our wedding."

Rachel smiled at the man and so did Finn.

"No way." the reverend replied, blatantly, to their surprise.

"What?" asked Finn, followed by Rachel.

"Why?"

"I'm tired of unconscious kids like you, who disgrace the sacred institution of marriage, by marrying one day and deciding they don't want to be together anymore the next. That's not how it works. I'm not giving you the annulment, so either you try to give your relationship a chance, which has a lot of potential from what I saw last night, or you call a lawyer to solve your situation. I don't care. Now, please, leave."

They left in shock.

"What do we do now?" Rachel asked him, her head aching a lot more at that moment.

"I dunno…" he muttered "Let's go back to the hotel and maybe we can figure something out."

They headed to the hotel and halfway, Rachel spots Quinn and Puck. When Finn waved his hand to them, she saw the golden spark and realized they were still wearing their wedding rings.

"Quickly Finn, give me your ring! Quinn is there and I think Puck is with her."

"Okay." he replied handing her the golden ring. She hid them in her pink cardigan's pocket.

As they approached the other couple, Rachel grew her trademark million-watt-smile that could light up a whole city. However, the smile faded as soon as she saw Quinn's murderous expression. She thought she heard Finn say something like "She's pissed", but she wasn't sure.

"Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea of how worried I was about you?" Rachel opened her mouth to speak, but Quinn cut her off "Don't you dare to make up some lame excuse! I want the truth!"

The brunette hesitated.

"I was in my room."

"Liar! Tina said you weren't there when she went earlier to the hotel."

"Well, I went for a walk with Finn here, for old time's sake and the reason Tina didn't find me was because maybe we didn't notice the time pass by and I got there after her. That's it."

Suddenly Puck gets into the conversation, pointing to Finn.

"Dude, are you still wearing the same clothes you wore last night?" he asked with a smirk. "Did you and Berry had a little fun?"

"Noah!" Rachel protested "That's an unpleasant question to ask someone, even if that someone is your best friend. And no, we didn't have fun. He slept in my room, yes, on the floor."

"Why did he sleep there anyway?" Quinn asked, curious.

"Well, I offered him my room, because…"

"Because Artie locked our room's door, that's why!" replied Finn, interrupting Rachel "Which if you had slept in our room, you would've known." Puck looked away, dumbfounded "Anyways, I'm dying to find that stupid Four-Eyes."

"Finn!" Rachel frowned "That's not nice of you to say. He's our friend and I'm sure he didn't make it on purpose."

He looked into her eyes and saw that she wasn't just playing through his lie, she was being honest.

"Sorry, Rach." she smiled softly at him.

"So, you two are saying that you slept in the same room, possibly really drunk, and didn't have sex?" asked Puck, unconvinced.

"That's right. We just talked. It was time to leave the past in the past." Rachel noticed that Finn could be eloquent when he wanted to.

"Then why are you together right now?" the blonde asked.

"We decided to try to be friends, at least during the spring break, so we won't ruin it for all of you. So, I asked Finn to lend me his company for a walk and we walked. And talked."

Quinn frowned and her eyes were moving from Rachel to Finn, like she didn't believe a single word they said in all that speech.

"Okay, let's say I'm buying that, for now. Do you want to grab some lunch with us? Kurt and Mercedes are already waiting for us, and Tina and Artie might still be in their love nest, 'cause they don't answer their phones."

"Yes, we're going with you." Rachel replied, while Finn's mind could only think about food in that moment.

-X-X-X-X-

As Quinn predicted, Tina and Artie were in their love nest.

"Tina, they've been calling me for hours. Shouldn't we go?"

She leaned down to kiss him, her head resting in his chest as they both lied on his bed.

"Can't we just order some food or something? We can meet them later. Right now, I just want to stay here with you. Just you."

She smiled at him and started to kiss his neck tenderly, sucking his skin in some spots.

"I guess we can do that."

Was it good, bad or mediocre? :)

Let me know! ;)
