Chapter Five
After the party Finn went down with Kurt and Blaine to visit their parents while Brittany took his car to see hers.
"Oh honey that is so cute, I think that's wonderful. I remember when Brittany and you were little and she would come over and you'd have little play dates and play hide n seek in the backyard." Carole, Finn's mother said as the family stood in the kitchen together. Finn rolled his eyes. "Did you really have to go and blab?" He asked looked towards Blaine and Kurt. Blaine shrugged. "It was just a kiss mom, it's nothing." Finn said shaking his head. Actually it was something. Ever since her lips left his he hadn't stopped thinking about it. It was like the scene was on repeat in his head, like a broken record; just playing over and over again. The moment they kissed it was like everything froze except for them. The whole world stopped and went silent except for the fast pace beat of his heart. "Well either way sweetie, I think she would be an amazing girl for you to date." Carole said patting Finn's back.
After visiting her parents and siblings Brittany drove back the hotel. She got there before Finn and changed into her sleeping clothes because it was getting a bit late. She got into bed and was eating candy Dots as she watched tv. All the sudden Finn walks through the door and her heart practically jumps out of her chest. "Oh, uh…hey." He said startled to see her in the bed. "Hey" she said. "Do you want a Dot?" she asked holding the box out to him. Finn shook his head. "No thanks." He just stood there awkwardly for a moment not knowing what to do. "What are you watching?" he asked. Brittany laughed a bit at his awkwardness. She thought it was cute. "That 70's Show." She said nodding towards the tv. Finn nodded and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Finn?" Brittany asked raising her eyebrows towards him. "Yeah?" He said turning towards her as he shuffled on the balls of his feet. "You just gonna stand there all night?" she laughed. Finn shook his head no and chuckled. He walked over to her and kicked his shoes off as he sat on the edge of the bed. "Brittany are you sure you want to share the bed? I mean I can sleep on that futon thing….or the chair….or floor." He said. Brittany laughed. "Finn don't be silly." She said.
Later, Brittany turned off the tv and turned on her side with her back facing towards Finn. She kept her eyes open and smiled to herself. Finn laid flat on his back with his hands at his side starring up at the ceiling. He sat still trying not to move too much. "Hey Finn?" Brittany said quietly. "Yeah?" He responded folding his hands over his stomach. "Can I ask you something?" she asked keeping her back towards him. "Sure." He said curious as to what she was going to ask. "What ever happened to you and Rachel?" she asked. "Well, after high school ended she chose her career over me. We both moved away and just fell apart." He sighed. "I wasn't myself with her and moving away from Lima helped me figure out who I am and become more confident in myself." He shrugged.
Brittany turned on her side facing him. "I'm sorry." She said looking at his face. "I know you really loved her." she sighed. Finn turned his head to look at her and that kiss started playing back in his head again. "It's okay." He shrugged. "It was a long time ago. I don't feel that way anymore." He said. Brittany laid on her back and tried to hide her smile. "Okay." She said.
Brittany woke from a deep sleep and a wonderful dream about Finn and she smiled. She was shocked to find herself practically lying on top of Finn; one arm wrapped around his torso and he head lying on his chest. Her eyes widened worried that he might be angry but at the same time it felt right and comfortable. She tried slowly sitting up without waking him but failed. "Sorry." She whispered as she sat up in the bed. Finn rubbed his eyes and shook his head. "No no, it's fine." He mumbled. "We should probably get going. I have a night class tonight." She said. "So get up."
In the car after driving for a couple hours Brittany was nodding her head to the music as she ate gummy worms. "Do you just always have candy with you?" Finn asked laughing as he drove down the highway. "You can never be too prepared." She joked. "No actually I got these when we stopped for gas." She nodded offering some to him. Finn took two gummy worms and smiled.
About ten minutes later as Brittany was singing along to a song on the radio Finn turned off the music and looked over at her and at the road repeatedly. "Hey! Why'd you turn it off?" She pouted. "Can we talk about that kiss?" he asked. Brittany raised her eyebrows at him and nodded. "Okay, go ahead." She said crossing her arms. Finn laughed. "Well, I mean….um…why did you ask me that? Why did you tell me to kiss you?" he asked. Brittany shrugged. "I could tell you wanted to." She said simply. "And you didn't?" he frowned. "Of course I did!" She exclaimed turning to face him in her seat. "Finn I've wanted to kiss you since like…freshman year of high school." She said. Finn frowned. "Seriously?" he asked. "Yeah." She nodded. They sat there in silence for a while. Why would she tell me this now? Why now? Was Puck right about all this not being a coincidence? He thought. Finn heard Pucks voice in his head. "Go for it" it said. Finn whipped his head in her direction. "Do you want to go on a date? Like a real date?" he asked her talking quickly. Brittany smiled really big at him. "Yes!" she said eagerly. "Cool." He said nodding looking back at the road. He saw Brittany's hand reach over to the stirring wheel and she took her hand in his lacing their fingers together. Finn smiled at her and he squeezed her hand gently and they stayed that way the entire ride home.
