Who says you can't date your step-brother?
Chapter Two: Winners and Losers
Rachel woke up bright and early to do her vigorous morning routine. She couldn't believe it had already been a week since Finn and Carole moved in to live with her and her father. She also could believe all the things that that terrible Finn Hudson had been doing to her. First of all, he was a complete and total ass to her, but than once Leroy or Carole was around Finn was suddenly a sweetheart. Second, he was getting good at the little tricks and games they've been playing. He had never been caught in the act. Not once! Rachel on the other hand wasn't as sly as he was. If they were to be keeping score, and she's pretty sure Finn is, it would Finn two and Rachel getting caught thirty-two times. It made Rachel sick that he could get away with such murder. Oh, and did she mention that he was a complete heartthrob as well. So on top of him being an ass, he was also a gorgeous human being that was impossible to stay away from. And when she was with him, she had to be a bitch so she would molest him on the spot.
She finally got out of bed after laying there for five minutes with a groan. Rachel looked at her small pink clock, which read 5:47 am. This made her groan again as she stood up and made her way down stairs and down into the basement where her elliptical sat in the corner.
Why did she even get up this early? I mean for Christ sake, it was six o'clock in the morning during summer vacation. And here she was doing five sets of twenty reps. She had to stay in shape though. What if she and Finn were sitting by the pool and she wanted to go in but she had this hideous muffin top? The thought of being that fat and disgusting made Rachel go faster and sweat more.
Once she was completely satisfied with her workout for the morning, Rachel grabbed her water bottle and made her way back up stairs. She walked into the kitchen to grab a quick bite to eat before she would jump in the shower and start her day. She bent down to tie her shoe lace when she felt a quick but firm slap on her ass that made her squeal in surprise. She stood up and saw a smirking Finn at the fridge. He looked over at her steaming mad face and only chuckled.
"Didn't anyone ever teach you manners with women Finn?" Rachel spat out at him, refilling her water bottle at the sink.
"Yeah, but didn't anyone ever tell you that if you walk around in booty shorts and a sports bra, bent over that I'm allowed to slap your ass?" He retorted back to her, walking over next to her where he cut up an apple, smirking to himself.
His comment made Rachel wear a confused look on her face and then look down at what she had on. She basically mentally slapped herself for what she had on. She should have known that an immature idiot like him would say or do something to her in this outfit. She still couldn't believe that he was actually living with her and that he hasn't been caught in the act of anything yet.
She huffed and rolled her eyes at him. "Whatever you perv. I'm getting in the shower anyways and then I'll make sure to wear jeans and a turtleneck for the rest of the day." Rachel said, walking off to the staircase.
"Okay, good luck with that Rachel." Finn said sarcastically sweet. He laughed softly at himself and continued to cut up his apple while Rachel rolled her eyes at him and walked back upstairs into her bathroom.
Once she walked in, she remembered that she had to go and lock the other door that connected with Finn's room. That's right, connected with Finn's room. Just the idea of that made her want to blow up chunks. It was bad enough Rachel had to share everything with this fool, now she had to share a bathroom with him too.
So she locked the door that connected to Finn's room and the one that connected to hers. She got into the shower after stripping off her sweaty clothes and quickly brushing her hair out. She stood under the heat of the water, sighing in content with a smile. The water was so perfect. She reached over for her body wash after a few minutes of letting the water just wash away the sweat off her body.
As she lathered her body deeply to scrub everything off, she started to sing. She started off singing Secrets by One Republic and then ended up singing Starships by Nicki Manaj. She belted out every note she could into her soap bar until she heard a bang on one of the door which made her scream in surprise.
"Rachel! Shut up I'm trying to play COD and I can't concentrate!" Finn screamed on the other side of the door that was attached to his room.
She just rolled her eyes in response and began to sing quieter to herself, cursing Finn under her breath every once and a while. What the hell was his problem with her singing? It's not like she was bad, I mean if she were doing something and she heard someone's angelic voice singing, she would encourage them to go on. In fact, she would ask them to sing louder because they were so amazing.
Once she finished up in the shower and turned the water off, she wiped the mist off the mirror and began to brush her hair out again. She pulled it into a long fishtailed braid. When she was satisfied with how her hair looked, she smiled to herself in the mirror and began to apply her makeup. She hummed a soft tune to herself during the process. She then got dressed in a comfortable sundress and made some finishing touches to her makeup.
"Yo Rachel are you almost done in there? I have to go to the bathroom and shower to you know." He banged on the door angrily. It was everyday with this girl, a thirty minute shower and then twenty minutes getting ready. It took him twenty minutes all together to shower and get ready for the day.
"I'll be done in two seconds Finn. Chill out." She snapped at him. She heard a sigh on the other side of the door and smiled to herself. After a good ten minutes Rachel opened the door to Finn.
"There, the bathroom is all yours now." She rolled her eyes at him and then walked back across the bathroom and into her room, shutting the bathroom door behind her.
Rachel threw her dirty clothes and towel into her laundry basket before she left her room and walked down stairs to see Carole making breakfast her everyone. It was nice to have someone who could cook. Once Rachel's other father Hiram left when Leroy said he was straight, the food in Rachel's house has been less than pleasant. Now that Carole was here though cooking for everyone in the house, it was nice to have three delicious coarse meals a day.
"Good morning Rachel," Her father greeted from the kitchen table while he read his newspaper. "How did you sleep?"
"Great," She replied as she sat down across from him. "Thanks for asking." She smiled at Carole and thanked her when she plopped a plate of waffles in front of her.
"Good, good," He flipped the page over and then folded the paper up and placed it next to him. "Do you have plans for the day?" Rachel knew that even if she said that she did have plans, she wouldn't by the end of this conversation.
"Um, no not really I was actually just planning on staying home all day, hanging around the pool, why daddy?" She asked, buttering and cutting her waffle that were make her mouth drool by the intoxicating smell that radiated off of them.
"Well, I have a business meeting today and early tomorrow morning in Indiana. Carole decided to come with me," He smiled at the mention of her going with him. "That means that you and Finn have to stay home until we get back tomorrow after noon."
She had to stop cutting her waffle to understand what was just said. By the sound of it, Rachel's pretty sure she just heard that her and Finn have to stay home alone for twenty-four hours or maybe more. Than, the more she thought about it, the more it made her grin on the inside. No one to be there to caught her when she retorts back at Finn. She could actually do some good damage to that boy while her dad and Carole were gone.
Rachel nodded and took a bite of her waffle, swallowing it before answering to her father. "Okay daddy. We'll be fine here while you two are gone. Finn and I have actually been getting along. He's such a great step brother." She tried to say without any sarcasm but just a little slipped threw. That was okay though because the huge smile on her face fooled both Carole and Leroy.
"Perfect," Carole smiled and put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. "I'm going to go start to pack." She walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to hers and Leroy's room.
Leroy sighed with a smile. "I better go and help her. It's going to be sixty degrees there and she's probably packing shorts." And with that, he was gone from the kitchen as well.
Only Rachel sat at the table, picking at her deformed waffle from her mutilating it. Or she was at least until Finn came down into the kitchen, his hair still a bit damp. He grabbed his plate of waffles on the counter and took a seat next to Rachel at the table that seats four.
"Where is everyone else?" Finn asked with a mouth full of chewed up waffles. He looked around the kitchen quickly incase he was missing anything then looked back at Rachel.
"They're packing," She smirked. "They're leaving for Indiana in an hour or two and leaving us home alone until tomorrow afternoon. Which means," She stood up and ran her fingers threw his hair, messing it up. "That I actually won't get caught for reacting to your game." Rachel placed her plate in the sink then turned back to him, leaning against the counter.
Finn got up out of his seat and walked over to the sink, standing right in front of her and handed her his plate with a smirk. "May the best man win."
"Oh, I intend to Finn." She retorted back at him, looking up at him with narrowed eyes and crossed arms on her chest. Finn just chuckled at her thought and started to walk away. "What?" She said, chasing after him. "Why are you laughing?"
Finn turned and looked her body over before chuckling at her again. "You just agreed that you were a man when I said may the best man win." He shook his head and ascended the stairs.
Rachel huffed and glared at him while he walked up stairs. He'll be sorry, he'll be sorry when her father and Carole leave tonight and there's no one to stop her from unleashing her slyness on him. She smirked at the thought. Just you wait Finn Hudson, cause Rachel Berry is coming after you and going to make you pay.
And that's the end of Chapter two. Hope it was worth the wait. Sorry again that I can only update on Saturdays. But to make some of you fell better I'll give you a preview of the next Chapter. It's about the night that Carole and Leroy are gone and that's when feeling start to get involved. Stay tuned!
