When I was fingering her cheeks, it was magical. I've never been this intimate with Rachel before, and it felt nice. The strangest thing wasn't that we were just so comfortable with each other. It was also the fact that it was all so natural, it seemed as though we've been doing this our entire life. Like as though I was born to explore her face. I couldn't help myself. Not after the credit she gave me. And when I started to graze the edge of her mouth, the softness from her lips lured me in. The second our lips met, every thing else melted away. Including Quinn. The kiss was everything I dreamt about and more. The stars in the sky became a blur and for that moment, nothing else existed but Rachel and I. Nothing else mattered but us two. When we broke apart to catch our breaths, I found myself immediately yearning for the next chance to have a taste of her again.

She blushed and hid her face from embarrassment. So where do we go from here? She thought to herself, while anxiously waiting for him to explain himself. A gentle wind breezed through the two bodies and he wrapped her into his chest with his coat around the tiny body.

"Better?"

Still unsure of how he intended her response to be, all Rachel could offer was a slight nod before burying her face deeper into his embrace. He smiled as he rested his chin on her head. He tightened his arms around her, refusing to release the tiny brunette any time soon. Stroking her hair down, he pelted her with tiny pecks on top of her. With every gentle contact, her heart fluttered. It wasn't important anymore if she should receive his take on their current situation. They hardly had any chances like this, and she was going to savor every second of it while it lasted.

Rachel's grip around Finn grew stronger and his smile grew wider at her squeeze. In her head, the thought went by so quickly she almost failed to come to the realization. But when she caught the three words flowing in her mind, she gasped with fear.

He heard her breath and started to worry. It was getting later into the night and he needed rest too. So he unraveled the girl, much to his disappointment that they had to come to an end.

"So uh…"

She turned the lock on her door and stopped in mid air upon hearing his voice. She rotated her small body fame and looked at him. The innocent dark brown pools got to him and suddenly he couldn't remember what he wanted to say.

"Finn? You were about to say something?"

"Yeah uh," He rubbed his neck nervously and she pulled him down by the collar of his jacket.

"We'll figure it out in the morning." Then she laid a small kiss on his cheek.

His lips curled into a wide grin. "Yeah?"

She nodded and let herself in before he could hear her heart thumping. When the door shut in his face, he leaned against the wall and gulped. His wrist twisted in anticipation as he stared back at the door.

"Oh man."

The next morning, Rachel woke up to a voicemail from the man who made her sleep like a baby for the first time in months. She had to pinch herself to realize that this was actually happening.

"Hey Rach, I don't really know what am I suppose to be saying actually, don't even know why the heck am I calling. Anyway, about earlier, that was wow. And the thing is, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. Do you uh, maybe want to meet for lunch or something? I mean, only if you want to. I wouldn't want to impose on your schedule. I thought we could talk or something. Unless you're busy, I would totally understand. I wouldn't want unless you want to. That is if you're free. So uh, let me know? I really hope that I can see you tomorrow. Ok. Bye. Oh it's Finn by the way. Yeah, so uh, that's all. Bye."

After listening to his message, she attempted to stifle a giggle. Finn never showed this side of him to her, and she welcomed it. He was this confident successful young man, but a night with her had the power to transform him into a shy teenage boy. She texted a short reply before jumping off her mattress. As she pranced into the bathroom, she failed to see the rug in her way and slipped on the bathroom floor.

"Oof!"

Finn tossed and turned in his bed. He messed up his hair and let out a groan. He had barely slept a wink and the morning was already seeping through the windows of his hotel room. Not that he was annoyed at what kept him up. It was Rachel, and to have her as a distraction wasn't all that bad. He rolled to the front of his chest and rested his chin on the pillows. He sighed with a smile on his face when he reminisced about their walk back to her place. The entire time was spent in silence but it wasn't as uncomfortable as it sounds. It was their moment of bliss, and he enjoyed every second of just being with her.

His phone on the bedside table vibrated and he rolled over to retrieve the source. After rereading his screen for the third time, a beam appeared on his face and it was impossible to replace it with anything else. He leaped off his bed and scrambled for the bathroom. Caught up in the excitement, he lost his footing and fell forward.

"Oof!"

The light emitted from his phone started to fade. And just before it returned to a blank screen, the message read,

"BRUNCH AT 11? I'LL COOK. PS, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU :) –RACH."

When I picked myself up from the ground, I realized the grin plastered on my face. It couldn't seem to go away and it fitted me just fine. I don't know what was about to happen during brunch. But I can tell you one thing; I hoped that it'd turn out good. Quinn seemed insignificant at that point of time, and I realized that I had forgotten my motive for driving down here. Or maybe, I had already fulfilled it. Maybe deep down, what I intended was for Rachel to forgive me, and getting Quinn back was secondary. Or maybe all I wanted was to get Rachel back by my side again.

YOU GUYS, I'M HYPOTHETICALLY SOBBING RIGHT NOW. The number of reviews I have received based on the previous chapter alone has surpassed the record of having the most number of comments in a chapter since I started out with Best Fake. I SERIOUSLY CAN'T EVEN WITH YOU GUYS. I feel that I'm undeserving of the love because all I can say is just THANK YOU and send out virtual hugs. It's kind of hard to top ch. 24 too in my opinion, which explains why I was so late in submitting this chapter.

Anyway, this might be my final update before I leave for my vacation. I'll be back in a week, and hoping that I wouldn't lose any readers along the way! A little glee reference to S03E05! :') Hope that everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! All of you are the #1 thing I'm thankful for this year ^.^

I want to give each and everyone of you a BIG WARM HUG and THOUSANDS OF SLOPPY KISSES. Because the way you loved the chapter was just so awesome to me! I hope that this doesn't disappoint you from the hype! I wanted the focus on Finchel to continue, so I'm hoping that this is still enjoyable for you!

Laylita83, hello love! You are just too adorable for words! Come here you! Let me give you a big mama bear hug! We are going to expect a bit more drama, because believe me, I'm not about done with this story yet! Hold on to your seat love, it'll be coming soon! :') And thanks for the encouragement sweetheart, you are so much love.

Finchel21, nobody has ever called me sweet pea before, and I was literally going awww in front of my computer screen when I read your review! How are you so fantastic, I don't even know. My heart is just melting away from your sweetness love! You are definitely one of my favorite reviewers and it just warms my heart so much to see you loving and enjoying yourself in my story. And reading your review again now, you've brought another smile on my face :')

CarCarBeepBroom and gleek30, don't ever apologize for not reviewing. Really, your social life with school and what's not is far more important than my story. Believe me when I say that to have you even comment once throughout my entire story is sufficient for me. My story should come last in your priority list because this is just for pleasure! I've certainly missed the both of you and don't for one second doubt that I'll forget about you. You are so dear to me, and I'd never even think of neglecting your existence. Seeing your name pop up again in my review list has made my day. You are so much love.
