Later that evening Finn was sitting at his laptop and clicked on a file he hadn't opened for years. His Rachel files. Stalker like maybe but he kept every conversation they had, every picture they sent, songs that reminded them if each other. He hadn't opened this file since they had gone their separate ways all those years ago.
Reading over some of their conversations, smiling at their hopes and dreams, scowling at their naivety of what they thought they could achieve meeting up with one another then Finns mind cast back over their absolute perfect date they had today.
Closing his laptop and sighing to himself. When they parted ways today he wasn't sure when they would see each other again but Rachel had remained hopeful that they would see each other again whilst she was still in New York. Sitting down in the sofa and grabbing the remote control, changing the channels endlessly to finally find a programme he wanted to watch.
Several hours later, Finn started to stir. He had been dreaming that his cell phone had been ringing. Sitting up on the sofa, before standing up stretching himself out, he looked over at the clock and it said 2 am. "Damn" Finn said out loud. Switching off the television and picking up his cell phone and activating the screen. 1 missed call. Finn scowled and clicked to see who had called him. His heart sank when it said Rachel. She had called a little before 2am. Finn stood and contemplated if he should call her back when his cell started to ring again. Rachel.
"Hey Finn, it's Rach. Sorry for calling so late, did I wake you up?" asked Rachel.
"Hi Rach, you sort of did but I'm glad you did as I had fallen asleep on my sofa earlier and when I do that I usually ache for days. Anyway, why are you calling so late?"
Rach chuckled "well you did say any time Finn, but I sort of need your help."
Finn sat back down on the sofa and listened to the rest of what Rachel had to say. "Okay Rach, I will grab my car keys and come and get you. Just text me where you are and I will see you soon okay?"
"Thanks Finn, I appreciate it, will text you after I hang up and please drive safely, I've seen New York traffic at it's finest!"
Finn grabbed a checked shirt from his room and threw it on, grabbed his keys and shoved his shoes on and left his apartment. By the time he got downstairs, Rachel had text him with where she was. Fifteen minutes later, Finn arrives outside the club that Rachel was in. He arrived at the door and immediately got stopped by security. "Sorry pal, you can't go in, you're not wearing the correct attire for the club, Sorry."
Finn scowled. "I understand, but I'm not here to party, I got a call from my friend Rachel to come and pick her and her friend up."
"Wait, we were expecting you" replied the security guard, hang on and I will radio Jonny to come and get you "
Ten minutes later Finn was led to a room and he opened the door slowly. He was greeted by Rachel approaching him and coming straight in for a cuddle. Finn smiled to himself and kisses Rachel gently on top of her head. "Thanks for coming Finn "whispered Rachel, I didn't know what else to do."
"It's fine Rachel, but we do really need to get you and Quinn back to the hotel, you must be exhausted." Finn looked over at Quinn who was sound asleep in the chair. He approached Quinn and gently woke her up.
"Finnnnnnny! Aw you came for us. Am so drunk!" slurred Quinn. Finn just smiled and helped Quinn up on to her feet.
"Well Quinn, we need you to walk to my car, we will help you but you have got to stay awake at least until the car. "Replied Finn in a somewhat stern but soothing way that Quinn responded to. Rachel stood their opened mouthed when Finn managed to vet Quinn to her feet.
"I have been trying to do that for the past hour Finn! Yet here you arrive and she practically jumps to go home, like you are our saviour!" laughed Rachel.
Safely in the car, Quinn quickly passed out in the back seat. Both Finn and Rachel turned around and smiled at the fact that she done what Finn had asked of her. During the drive back to the hotel Finn and Rachel spoke about their date and how their evenings had gone. Before they knew it, Finn was outside the hotel. "Wait here Finn, I will go and get a parking permit for you so you don't get a fine or anything." Finn nodded and looked back over his shoulder and checked on Quinn again who was snoring gently. The passenger door opened and Rachel popped the permit on Finns dashboard.
Both struggled to get Quinn out of the car as she was sleeping so soundly, so they managed to turn her around and Finn lifted Quinn out. "Uhm, Rach, can you go in to my pocket and get the car key out and lock the car for me? I didn't expect to be carrying a sleeping beauty back to her hotel!" Rachel smiled and nodded and managed to free Finn's car key and locked up the car. They headed in to the hotel and Finn put Quinn down on her feet once they were inside the elevator. Once they reached the floor the girls were staying on, Rachel guided Finn where to take Quinn.
Rachel used Quinn's key to get in to her room and Finn guided a sleepy Quinn in to her room. She looked up at Finn before the colour drained from her face. 'No Quinn!' But before Finn knew it, Quinn was slightly sick over Finn's vest top. Finn screwed up his face. 'Great, now I am going to totally stink on my car journey home!' and let a small laugh out. Rachel looked over apologetically and managed to help Quinn before ushering Finn out of the room.
'Finn, I am so, so, sorry. I didn't expect her to do that. Come with me, I'm only a few doors down and we will sort that top out before you have to head home.' Rachel said softly, slipping her hand in to Finn's and heading towards her hotel room.
Once inside, Rachel guided Finn to her bathroom and Finn took off his checked shirt and Rachel assisted Finn out of his vest top so that he didn't get covered in any more vomit. Rinsing his top through under the sink tap before leaving it to soak, Rachel turned and dried her hands. Finn had turned around and reached for his checked shirt. Rachel's eyes widened slightly and Finn's toned physique and as he was putting his shirt on, Rachel ran her fingers gently over his chest. Before they knew it they were kissing passionately and Finn had Rachel against the bathroom counter pulling her up to sit on it as they were exploring each other's tongues.
But, just as quick as it all started, Finn put an end to it by pulling away and walked out the bathroom. Rachel slipped off the counter quickly, 'Finn? Where are you going?' Rachel enquired.
'I can't do this Rachel, I can't be that type of guy that wants to sleep with a girl after being on a first date with them, I just can't. Finn said ditheringly.
'Well Finn, for one, I admire that you said how you felt, but Finn, our date was yesterday and you wouldn't have been that guy, but if we had gone that little bit further, it would have been consensual on both our parts, plus it would have been so natural after knowing each other for so long. But Finn, tonight, this morning, since it's almost 4am after all the shenanigans with Quinn, how about we just sleep together?' asked Rachel.
'What?' Finn reacted quite quickly.
Rachel laughed. 'Ok that kind of came out wrong, not as in sleep together sexually, as in just to cuddle up and go to sleep. It's been a long night for all of us.'
Finn looked at Rachel and she could see that he was contemplating it. 'If you want Finn, I can phone reception and get you some pyjama pants or something?'
Finn shook his head. 'It's okay Rach, I can sleep in my shorts. Do you have a preference of what side of the bed you like to sleep on?' enquired Finn.
'I prefer the right-hand side and I will go and change in the bathroom' said Rachel sleepily.
Finn settled in to the bed after getting undressed and placing his clothes neatly on the chair. Rachel came out of the bathroom in a nice pair of silk pyjama shorts and strappy top and got in to bed next to Finn. Leaning over, she gently kissed him on the lips. 'Thank you, Finn, not just for tonight, but for staying with me.'
Finn smiled softly, 'no bother Rach, let's just get some sleep now okay?' Rachel nodded gently to him. As Finn was lying on his back, he was about to move when he felt Rachel snuggle up beside him, resting her head on his chest and her body intertwining with his. Smiling softly and sleepily to himself, he felt himself drift off as they both said goodnight to each other.
