Chapter Four
Finn's roommate Justin Howl was badgering him all day Saturday afternoon about Brittany. "Dude come on she's just a girl man." He said for the millionth time that day. Finn stood in his own room packing for overnight and making sure he had everything. Justin sat on Finn's bed flipping through a magazine casually. "Will you stop! She's not just some girl man." Finn pushed his suitcase and he sighed. "Man, don't get so uptight what is with you lately?" Justin asked standing up. "You know ever since you ran into the girl it's like you don't have time for your friends anymore man. We haven't gone out for drinks in a week. What the hell dude?" Justin complained. Finn clenched his jaw. "I never have time to do anything anyways Justin. I work remember? Or did you forget that because you just sit around here all day and go to the bar at night while I'm out working paying for almost everything in this apartment. Grow up dude. We aren't teenagers anymore." Finn yelled at Justin. He zipped up his bag and threw it over his shoulder and grabbed his keys. "I'll be back tomorrow night." He sighed as he left the apartment.
Brittany packed the day before eager to spend two days with Finn. She didn't have anything planned, as for making a move but anything could happen and hopefully something would. She finished up her afternoon class a bit early so she could get ready to leave with Finn. "Mrs. Pierce why are we not having class tomorrow?" one of her students asked before leaving. "I'm going out of town Chelsea. But I will be back for Monday's class. Don't worry." She smiled patting her back. After her students left she texted Finn to pick her up at the studio.
"Do you think it will be weird? I mean to see everyone from high school? Like everyone we know? I haven't seen most of them since graduation except for like Blaine, Kurt, Rachel and I think I saw Santana like twice." Brittany said while the two of them started driving out of town. Finn shrugged. "Yeah probably a little bit." He said. "I haven't talked to anyone but Puck and Kurt sometimes." He said. "Did you go to Artie and Tina's wedding last year?" Finn asked. "No! I couldn't make it because it was right when I started to open up the studio and I couldn't leave. Did you go?" she asked. "No I was in the middle of moving to another apartment with my roommate." He nodded. Finn glanced over at Britt and he smiled.
Brittany felt Finn's eyes on her and she blushed looking over at him. "What?" she asked smiling back at him. "Oh nothing." Finn shook his head and looked back at the road. They drove for hours and hours occasionally talking and listening to the radio.
"Okay I spy something green." Brittany smiled bouncing in her seat. "Green?" he laughed. "It's green everywhere! The trees the grass, the signs." Brittany laughed and smiled over at him. "It was the signs." She laughed. "Stop cheating it's not fair." She playfully hit his shoulder. Finn laughed and raised his shoulders. "I'm not cheating I swear." He looked over at her and then looked back at the road. "Okay okay my turn." He looked around at their surroundings. "Okay I spy something purple." He said trying to make it tricky. "PURPLE?" Brittany laughed. "There is nothing pur-" she said looking around the car. She stopped talking and looked over at Finn. "My top is purple!" she laughed. "Good one." She nodded. "I thought so." He smiled over at her.
After hours Finn looked over at Britt as she fell asleep curled up in a ball in the passenger seat. He smiled. She looked so cute when she was sleeping.
They were almost to the hotel. He wanted to check in before they headed out to the party. "Brittany." He shook her arm lightly. "Brittany wake up we're here." He said. She groaned and stretched out her arms and legs. "That was so fast." She mumbled. "Yeah." He sort of laughed. "Come on we have to check in." Finn went into the lobby and checked in and the lady at the desk handed them their key. Finn widened his eyes as they opened the door to their room. One bed. He hadn't asked for one bed. He asked for two. Oh god she's gonna think I'm totally trying to hit on her. Shit.
Brittany walked into the room as if having the one bed was no big deal. She barely even noticed. She set her suitcase down. "I'm gonna go get ready." She said grabbing her dress for the party and other essentials.
"Brittany I uh…I asked for two beds, I'm so sorry. I can go exchange them and talk to the front des-" Finn tried to explain. Brittany interrupted him. "Finn gosh cool your jets. It's fine." She said. "Don't even worry about it. Just get ready so we aren't late for this party." She said closing the bathroom door. Finn's jaw dropped at her reaction. He frowned and sighed. Sleeping in the same bed is no big deal right?
Santana's Engagement Party. You could tell this guy had a bunch of money by the amount of time spent on this party. It was set in a nice hotel ballroom. You'd think it was the reception of the actual wedding. Brittany wore a strapless red dress with frilly layers all around it. It stopped at her knees. She wore a short silver necklace with a small heart on the end with matching dangle earrings. Finn wore a nice black suit and tie that he had rented back in Cleveland. "Wow, this is…so…" Brittany said widening her eyes as she looked around the dining hall. "Extravagant." Finn said finishing her sentence. Brittany nodded. There were a bunch of people in the hall that they didn't recognize. All the sudden they hear a squealing coming from the left side of them.
"BRITTNAY!" Santana squealed running to the other girl. She wore a peach strapless dress that was skin tight and black high heels. She practically knocked Britt over as she tackled her in a giant hug. "I'm so glad you're here!" she smiled excitedly. She looked happy, the happiest she's ever appeared. "Hey Frankenteen." She smiled over at Finn as she patting his arm. "Thanks so much for coming you guys." She smiled. "Come meet my fiancé." She said taking their hands and leading them to the table in the front of the room. "Baby these are my friends from high school Brittany and Finn. Guys this is the one and only John." She smiled giving the man a kiss. Finn shook his hand and they said their hellos. Santana lead them to their seats with the rest of her friends from high school. They all said their hellos and talking about what they've been doing. Finn sat next to Brittany with Puck and Quinn on the other side of him. Across the table was Rachel, Kurt and Blaine. Next to them was Artie and Tina. The rest of the crew couldn't make it to the party.
"Finn I think that is so great that you are doing that for those kids. It's so noble of you." Rachel said smiling sweetly from across the table obviously flirting with him. "Yeah, well I like it so it's cool. Actually Britt and I have some of the same students because some of my girls go to her dance studio." He nodded looking over at Britt smiling. Just having her by his side made him feel comfortable, like they came together; they were a pair. Brittany smiled back at him and patted his shoulder. "It's true. He's been teaching them patterns while I teach them to dance." She laughed. Rachel looked over at the two of them and gave off a fake smile. Blaine noticed this and eyed Kurt knowing they both knew what was going on.
"So Finn are you dating anyone?" Blaine asked casually. Rachel looked at Finn attentively and she frowned when he quickly glanced at Brittany. "No, I'm not." He said simply. Brittany noticed Finn glance her way and she blushed looking down at her lap. He heart was beating so fast. Oh my gosh get a hold of yourself Brittany. Stop acting like a child she thought. She looked up and was about to say something but was interrupted by Santana standing up and making an announcement.
"Dancing! Let's dance everyone!" she shouted as the music turned up louder. Everyone at the table stood up and walked off with their significant others. Finn, Brittany and Rachel were left at the table sitting by themselves. Faithfully by Journey started playing and Rachel smiled over at Finn. "Finn would you like to dance…it is..our song." She shrugged her shoulders and smiled sweetly. Finn looked at Brittany from the corner of his eye and he looked back at Rachel. "Um…y-yeah sure." He said standing up. He didn't really want to dance with Rachel, especially to this song but he didn't want to be rude. They stood up and walked to the dance floor leaving Brittany sitting by herself. Rachel reached her arms up onto Finn's shoulders and they started to sway back and forth. "I really missed you Finn." She smiled up at him. "Everything is so perfect in New York with my career and…I was thinking that maybe if you'd like you could you know come visit me sometime? We could go out to central park like that one time." She suggested. Finn wasn't even paying any attention to her he was preoccupied looking over at Brittany sitting by herself. "Yeah yeah." Finn said mindlessly not knowing what she said. I shouldn't have left her by herself. I don't want to dance with Rachel, I want to dance with her he thought. "Finn. Are you even listening to me?" Rachel demanded. Finn looked down at her and snapped back into reality. "What?" he shook his head."Rachel, I can't do this." He backed away from her just as the song ended and he left her standing on the dance floor alone. She frowned and gave him a dirty look and then walked away.
Brittany sat and watched Finn walk away with Rachel to the dance floor. Of course he would choose to dance with her she thought sighing to herself. Oh my gosh why is he looking over here? Does he want to dance with me? No way that can't be. But he's not looking away, should I smile and look awa? Oh my gosh. Brittany thought as she starred over at him. All the sudden she watched him leave Rachel and walk over towards him. He heart started to race like crazy. "Brittany do you want to dance?" he asked her holding out his hand. She nodded and took his hand as he led her to the dance floor. Kiss Me by Sixpence None the richer came on the speakers which made her heart race even more. She put his hand around his neck and she felt his hands on her sides. She sighed happily and blushed. "Why did you leave Rachel? I mean…you didn't have to come to dance with me" she said shaking her head. Finn half smiled. "I wanted to dance with you." He said. Britt looked up at him and smiled lovingly. "Really?" she asked. Finn nodded and smiled down at her. "Really." He said. Finn contemplated making a move the entire time they were dancing. He looked from her eyes to her lips and she smiled. "Finn?" she asked looking into his eyes. "Yeah?" he responded. "Just kiss me already." She said putting her hand on his cheek. Finn's smile grew and he leaned down pressing his lips against hers softly as his hand lifted to the side of her face.
"They are so freaking cute together." Kurt said to Blaine as they danced just feet away from Finn and Brittany. "They really are. It's about time they've been flirting all night." Blaine said.
