Nineteen
Rachel's POV
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. I am screwed. Santana knows something's up. I entered the choir room, my heart beating like crazy and I just want Finn here with me. I sit down on my usual seat, on the front, willing my heart to stop beating wildly, but it won't stop.
Mercedes turned to me and said, "Girl, you okay? You're looking a little pale."
I nodded and assured her, "I'm fine, Mercedes. Thanks for the concern. It's nothing. I'm just stressed."
She nods, unsure of what I said and whispers something to Tina that I couldn't really comprehend. And then Tina turns to me and says, "Rachel, maybe you should see the nurse or something; you're looking really pale."
"It's not—" I stopped myself, clamped a hand on my mouth and I threw up my lunch on the nearby trashcan in the corner. Santana and Brittany chose that moment to walk into the room and Santana rushed over to me, holding my hair. "Whoa Rach, you okay?"
When I was done, I nodded and wiped my mouth on Finn's shirt sleeve. Great, just damn great. "I'm fine, San. It's just something I ate. The pasta I ate made my stomach become unsettled, I guess."
Santana nodded and reached her hand out to take me back to my seat, but I refused, saying I needed to go to the bathroom quickly and sort myself out. I didn't wait for anyone's reply; I just went straight to the ladies' room.
I turned to the mirror and said to myself, "It's nothing Rachel, you're just nervous. It's just nerves, you're just nervous because of Santana almost knowing that something is up. It's just that. Okay? You're fine. You're fine." I then turn on the tap and splashed cold water on my face; now I feel ten times better. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror, left the ladies' room, got a bottle of cold water on the vending machine, drank some water, and finally I started walking back to the choir room.
I walk in to see Finn already in his seat beside mine and he stood up once he saw me, giving me a tight hug. "I was so worried. Santana called me saying your stomach felt unsettled and that you threw up. You okay?"
I hugged him back, tight, and I assured him, "I'm all better now, now that you're here."
He rubbed my back, giving me this soothing and calming sensation. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to enjoy this simple gesture. Finn pulls away from the hug a few moments later and he gives me a kiss. I held his hand and led him back down to our seats. Finn puts his arms all around my shoulders and I smile.
As the day progresses, the more I get all hot and bothered since the whole time we were listening to Mr. Schue drone on and on about this week's assignment, which was duets, Finn's hand was on my thigh. On my thigh. Yep. I released a small moan, thankful that no one's looking my way. Finn was smirking at me and he kept teasing me.
But I managed to control myself.
I however, couldn't control myself when we started performing our song.
So there we were, singing "You're The One that I Want"; me singing Sandy's parts and him Danny's, and us singing the chorus together beautifully, our voices harmonizing perfectly. But when we got to the second chorus, I just stopped singing and just kissed him hard. He kissed me back deeply and didn't even seem surprised by my actions because I know that this is what he wanted too.
We kept kissing each other passionately and just like at the prom, the world around us melted away.
After our little moment in glee, Finn ushered me safely inside his limo. "Tell me, is there anything I need to be sorry for?"
I shook my head. "No." I then add, "Well yeah, there is. You have to say sorry for getting me all hot and bothered in the choir room earlier. And also for getting me to moan," I pouted and he laughed.
"Oh yeah, that, that was just embarrassing. I'm sorry Rach, I just can't control myself. I really missed you today."
"Apology accepted and yes, I missed you too."
His arms found my waist again. "Do you have to go home now?"
"I meant what I said on my note; I'll see you later, baby. So no, I'm not going home yet."
He asks, coyly, "What do you want to do then?"
"I think you know what I want to do." I'm pretty sure he can hear the smirk in my voice.
He nodded and ordered his driver to drive us to the condo and put the tinted Plexiglass partition up so that we could have some privacy. And once it was up, Finn and I start doing things to each other, the both of us could barely control ourselves.
I really can't wait till we get to the condo.
The moment we got there, he has me pinned on the door and starts kissing me roughly and hungrily. I then suggested that I need a shower and told him if he wants to come with. We had a little quickie in the shower.
"You do know this is your shirt, right?" I say, once we were done showering. He nods.
"I'm not giving it back to you." I say.
"I don't want it back." He says and kisses me again.
I tousled up his hair and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I can't stay today. I gotta get home before Mom or Santana has a fit."
He gives me a playful pout and flashes me his puppy dog eyes. I laughed. "I can't stay Finny, I wish I could, but I can't. I'm already in enough trouble as it is."
Finn understood and hugs me, quickly. "I love you, Rach."
"I love you too, Finn." I said back. And then he says something that totally surprised me.
"Would you wanna maybe get dinner with me tomorrow?"
I look at him, totally interested. "Like… like on a date?"
He nodded. "Being cooped up here all day and night long doesn't really count as a date and plus, we haven't even had our first official date. So yeah, it's a date. Again, would you want to maybe catch a movie and get dinner with me tomorrow?"
I smiled at him. "Sold; I'll be here at six or you could just come pick me up, whatever you want."
He kisses me at that moment, seemingly happy with my decision. "I'll come and pick you up. 7:30 good?"
"7:30's just fine." I kissed him one last time before he hailed me a cab so that I could go home.
I can't wait for our first official date tomorrow night.
