Finn had to admit, he was actually excited about his date with Brittany, the two had never really been alone before. He was a tad bit nervous and you could tell by the amount of times he had checked his reflection in his bathroom mirror. Kurt had walked in several times, seeing the many wardrobe changes that Finn had gone through in the matter of only 10 minutes. Finn finally asked for his step brothers opinion, which he was more than glad to help with. The final result being black slacks and a nice button down shirt, he turned to the side and examined himself, actually liking what he saw. He didn't even know he had these clothes, which was probably because he had them pushed to the back of his closet and saved for a special occasion. He didn't even know why he was trying so hard to look nice, was he really that excited about this date?
Finn didn't even reveal the identity of who he was going on a date with to Kurt, which killed him, even though he assumed it was Rachel. Finn didn't want anyone to know just yet, he wanted to see how it went first, before the rumors started to flow. He was finally in his truck, the scent of his cologne filling the air as he started the truck. He pulled out his cell phone and opened the text sent from Brittany earlier with her address contained in it, he nodded as he thought about how to get there and placed his phone back into his pocket.
He pulled up to her house slowly, taking it in, it wasn't exactly what he expected but it was nice. He parked his car and got out, walking to her doorstep. He took a breather before pressing the doorbell, waiting patiently for someone to answer the door, hoping it wasn't anyone else but Brittany.
Minutes past and Finn was wondering where she was, he took a step back and looked around, starting to get worried he had gotten the wrong house. He reached for the doorbell again, but then the door finally opened, revealing a really beautiful Brittany. She had a black dress on, flats, her hair was wavy and down over her shoulders, and she was in the middle of putting an earring on.
"Finn! Sorry I took so long, at first I thought it was the phone, and then I told Lord Tubbington to come answer, but he's in one of his moods," she said as she finally clipped the earring in. "Okay, I'm ready" she smiled brightly and walked over to a nearby counter and grabbed a small black bag. She walked towards Finn, closing the door behind her, "You okay?" she asked. Finn was just standing there with his jaw practically to the floor, the boy was in awe. For some reason he was seeing Brittany in a different light, "uh… " he finally snapped out of it, taking a step back, "yeah, I just.. uh.. you look… really pretty..not that… you don't always look pretty. But… uh…" he was starting to ramble, something he did when he was suddenly nervous.
"thank you," Brittany giggled, a light blush coming over her cheeks, "you look nice too", she looked up at him with a cute smile. It was true, he did look nice, she liked it when he dressed up. She only got to see him do that on rare occasions though, like whenever they had a big competition or at Burt's wedding.
The two hopped into his truck, Finn opened the door for her, being a gentlemen and making sure she got in safely. He made his way over to his side and hopped on in, starting the truck, looking over at her one more time, taking in her beauty and the reality of this date and finally heading to Breadstix, his favorite restaurant, despite his dislike for their breadsticks. Brittany looked out of the window, her smile never leaving her face, she was actually a bit excited too. It had been awhile since she was asked out on a real date, she never imagined it to be with Finn, but to be honest, she didn't really mind. She had always thought he was extremely attractive.
"Do you have a curfew?" Finn asked randomly as he drove, Brittany looked up at him with a simple expression on her face and shook her head, "no I don't eat those, " she replied. A look of confusion washed over his face, "uh…" she probably didn't know what that was, which he wasn't really surprised, the girl thought an 'anthem' was an ants pants. "do you have to be home at a certain time?" he rephrased the question, it was cute how simple-minded she was at times. Hell, he even had his own moments like that, he couldn't even count the times he had asked Rachel what certain words she said meant. The girl had such a big vocabulary; it often threw Finn off at times.
"I don't think so… I didn't ask," Brittany shrugged lightly, giggling a bit. "well to be on the safe side, I won't bring you home too late," he said with a smile as he pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. Brittany clapped happily, "Breadstix!" she exclaimed, which made Finn smile wide, he loved how excited she got at just the view of the place. The two exited the car once the vehicle was parked and Finn quickly joined Brittany on her side, holding out his arm, which she instantly took as the two walked towards the entrance door. Finn, still in gentleman mode, opened the door for the two and they made their way in, being seated almost instantly.
The pair sat across from each other and were handed menu's, "Can I start you two off with something to drink?" the waitress asked. Brittany ordered a strawberry lemonade and Finn ordered a Sprite. Finn looked over at Brittany as their breadsticks arrived finally, "Do you know what you want?" he asked peeking over his menu.
Brittany bit her lip, never able to finish an entire meal by herself, "Do you want to share a spaghetti and meatball with me?" she asked with a tone of innocence in her voice. Finn smiled a bit, he thought it was cute she wanted to share something with him, "uh, sure", he gave a light shrug, "why not?" he closed his menu and placed it down on the table. "I haven't had spaghetti in a while," he admitted. Brittany smiled and it only got wider as she closed her menu, "I love spaghetti, it's my favorite food," she admitted, "what's yours?" she asked interested.
"My favorite? Um… this might sound lame… but… it's actually grilled cheese sandwiches," he revealed shyly, he knew how kiddy it sounded, but for some reason he didn't think she'd judge him like that. "I love grilled cheese sandwiches! I have like…cookie cutter things…shaped like Disney characters, so I can make like…buzz lightyear shaped grilled cheese sandwiches whenever I want" she said excitedly, "well, my mom can… I don't know to make them," she pouted. She wasn't really a big cook, mostly because she often forgot she was cooking and ended up burning everything. "Maybe I can show you sometime, it isn't hard. Plus, there's different ways you can make them. I'll have you making buzz lightyear grilled cheese sandwiches in no time", he said sweetly. Brittany couldn't help but blush a bit, "really? Thanks, that sounds awesome", she loved learning how to do things so she was definitely excited, plus, it was sweet of Finn to offer.
The waitress returned with their drinks and took their order right then and there. Finn was feeling calmer than he was at the beginning of the date; maybe it was because Brittany was so easy to talk to. He never had one on one time with her, so he could never notice that before now, but he was glad that he had asked her out. "So how's Fondue for Two doing?" he asked, "you know, I'm a little jealous I haven't been asked to be a guest yet," he added, kidding of course.
Brittany's eyes lit up when he asked about her show, she loved talking about it, it was like her best idea ever, in her opinion. "Fondue for Two is doing great! Though, Lord Tubbington is getting way more fan mail than I am," she pouted again, her pout was so adorable, and every time she did it, Finn wanted to just comfort her. "you can be a guest whenever you want! I just figured you wouldn't want to…", she said honestly, the two never really talked much, plus, finn was always having love drama whether it was with Quinn or Rachel. "really? Of course I'd want to… just give me a call and I'll be there," he said honestly, actually interested in being a guest. Brittany could feel her cheeks getting hot, she was really enjoying her time so far, "I will," she smiled, glad that she'd have a new guest soon.
