A few weeks had passed since her "date" with Hunter. He definitely had swag that's for sure. She hadn't seen much of him since due to Warblers rehearsals and she's become even more busy with the New Directions. She was so happy when the original members arrived to help promote new members. Sue was even more determined to bring them down by using bullying tactics, as always. Any other place wouldn't have tolerated. It's surprising no parents have complained either. She certainly hadn't missed being thrown into lockers...ouch!
The last time she had spoken to Sebastian he had seemed more distant. Has he already lost interest? Not that she's chosen yet because honestly she didn't know. She's more protective of her heart these days. Rachel knows he has a busy schedule but it would've been nice to hear from him. She missed his company.
Rachel was in the practice room and decided singing always made her feel better. Hunter was a great guy, but so was Sebastian. Both guys surprised her. They had the bad boy romantic personalities. She tried to imagine what it would be like to be exclusively his. Would it be a Real love?
"Inside Your Heaven" (A/N: By Carrie Underwood)
(Rachel)
I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess its right, it's so amazing
Everytime I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
*She thinks of his handsome face, his green eyes, and how he makes her feel when in his arms*
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When we touch, when we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holdin you until the day I die
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
*Rachel was so lost in the song, she didn't know that someone was watching her*
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
Oh yes I do
I wanna be inside your heaven
Rachel wiped tears away, and suddenly felt someone wrap his arms around her waist from behind.
?: Do you mean that?
Rachel was startled and then realized who's voice it was. She smiled, as she turned to see his face.
Rachel: Sebastian? What are you doing here?
Sebastian: I came to visit my favorite woman. You're not a little girl anymore.
Rachel: I can't believe you are here. You have been distant and cold lately. I know you're busy.
Sebastian: I am sorry about that. I have been busy with school, work, auditioning here and there. Now I know how you felt when you were in New York. Plus I was giving you the space you needed. And I shouldn't be treating trying to earn your heart as a competition or putting you as a prize in a race. That wasn't fair. I apologize.
Rachel: Hunter came to see me a few weeks ago. We spent time together. I am so confused. I am sorry.
Sebastian: No apologies. I kind of expected that and Hunter has always had swag. Right now lets not think about who is going to win. I just want to spend time with you. I actually wanted to play something for you too. May I? I am a little rusty, though.
Rachel: I would be honored to hear it.
Sebastian walked over to grab a guitar and sat on the stool. Rachel smiled as he begun to sing.
"Superhero" (by Ross Lynch)
(Sebastian)
Sometimes love's a scary place
It's like standing in the dark
Flying through the universe
Trying to fix your broken heart
It's okay to let it go
You don't have to be so brave
Take a chance if someone else
Is gonna sweep in and save the day
You don't have to face your fears alone
'Cause whenever you're in trouble
I'll know
Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there
Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero
Take off your mask, put down your guard
Don't need a symbol on your chest
It's all right for once to play
The damsel in distress
You're gonna use up all your strength
Trying to be so strong
Don't have to shoulder all the weight
Together we can take it on
You don't have to face your fears alone (You're not alone, baby)
'Cause whenever you're in trouble
I'll know, oh
Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there
Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero
Woah woah oooh
Woah woah oooh
Let me be your super hero
Woah woah oooh, yeah yeah
Woah woah oooh
Sometimes love's a scary place
It's like standing in the dark
Flying through the universe
Trying to fix your broken heart
Yeah
Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go (I won't go)
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there
Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all (I'll pick you up, baby)
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero
(Woah woah oooh)
Yeah, I can be your superhero
You know I will, baby
Woah woah woah oh oh
Let me be your superhero
Rachel clapped and smiled.
Rachel: You still got it!
Sebastian: So...what did you think? Could you see me as YOUR superhero?
Rachel: Well Grant Gustin is hot, but Barry and the Flash have nothing on Sebastian Smythe.
Sebastian: Please Rachel, they couldn't keep up. I can almost be a twin. Barry and I could be the same person you might say.
Rachel: Now all you need is The Flash outfit, speed and powers.
Sebastian: Seriously, whenever you're ready, just let me know. I really do care about you.
Rachel: I suddenly feel like Iris having to fight feelings and choosing between Eddie and Barry. Or even Felicity, choosing between Oliver and Barry.
Sebastian: I am Barry right? Haha Damn ..
Rachel: Most definitely.
Sebastian: Well at least I, Sebastian, can sing and dance. Barry can't.
Rachel: Well that's a dez breaker because I need a man who can match me.
Sebastian: And...Barry can't do one thing right now.
Rachel: And that is?
Sebastian leaned in closely. "This" he whispered as he pulled her into a slow sensual kiss that heated every part of her. They kissed before pulling away.
Rachel: Wow...missed you too.
Sebastian: How about I take my Rachel out to dinner and spend alone time together. No cell phones, no distractions. Just the two of us.
Rachel: I'd love to. No pressures though.
Sebastian: No pressures, pretty girl. * kissing her again* let's get out of here.
Rachel: I remember you hate public schools.
Sebastian: This time has nothing to do with the school. * he whispered close to her ear, brushing his lips against her neck.*
Rachel's eyes widened. "Oh! Sebastian you're so bad!"
Sebastian: Never claimed to be innocent. *he winked*
Sebastian and Rachel left McKinley to enjoy their time together. Tonight Rachel would enjoy Now, and worry about everything else later.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. If I were Rachel, I wouldn't know who to choose either. Damn lucky girl! Haha!
