A/U Finn Hudson is New York City's golden boy and most eligible bachelor. Now fresh out of college he is set to inherit his father's multimillion dollar company and to help with the job he hires a new quirky assistant by the name of Rachel Berry.

Why did she see him? What was special about her that linked him to her? All she knew was that whatever had happened, she was the only one to help him. She was his only friend.

Kurt's idea was brilliant and in no time, she and all her friends packed up Blaine's van and headed to the largest outdoor pool in Lima. That was where she had first noticed him; that dimpled smile, his big brawny shoulders, his chiseled chest covered by his uniform, his large biceps, his short styled brown hair; and those eyes. AU Finchel.

She remembers the day so clearly, like it was yesterday. The day they met she didn't think anything of him. He was just this adorable teddybear of a guy, and he thought she was gorgeous and just wanted the chance to get to know her.

Free agent Finn Hudson has his sights set on one team: the New York Jets. The team who had his best friend as Quarterback. The team that was closest in location to his family.

"No," she says and she's pulling back the sheets of his bed and crawling into it, shoes and tights askew on the floor.
