Chapter 4

"Hello, Finn," he heard Rachel say from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, how are you?" Finn was smiling as he walked inside his apartment.

"I'm doing good, tired, but good. How are you?" Finn nodded his head towards Puck, who was sitting on the couch texting, while Rachel talked.

"I'm great. Hungry. So… I was wondering if you'd like to come to dinner with me, tonight? Just a quick one…."

Puckerman's head instantly shot up as he heard Finn invite someone out, he was already guessing who it was.

"That sound lovely," Rachel said.

"I can pick you up if you want?" Finn asked as he ran his hand through his hair nervously, Puck was already wiggling his eyebrows at him.

To keep him from laughing, Finn turned around and gave his back to Puck as Rachel said, "Sure? I can be ready in half an hour or less."

"Sounds awesome, I'll see you soon, Rachel."

"Yes, see you soon, Finn."

Finn was smiling as he hanged up.

"You got a date?" Puckerman asked with a smirk.

"I think so," Finn said as he plopped down on the couch next to his friend.

"You're bringing her here after?"

"No, that's not what I want."

"Okay… That's good, long since you've been dating."

Finn shrugged, "I guess. I'm gonna take a quick shower and then pick her up. See you, man," he stood up and Puck nodded.

After showering, brushing his teeth, and spraying fancy cologne Finn was already in his car. For the first time, Finn had actually been worrying about what was appropriate to wear. Was this a date? He was planning on taking her to a simple, but delicious restaurant. Even if he was pretending not to, he was trying to impress her.

He finally arrived, Finn got out of his car and walked swiftly to the apartment he had already memorized. As usual, Finn nervously rubbed his palms on his jeans before knocking on the door.

Finn let out a small gasped when he saw Rachel open the door. She was wearing one of those pencil skirts he had seen on other girls, but Rachel beat them all; she looked perfect and her legs seemed endless.

Pretending that he wasn't surprised he offered a small smile, "Hey."

Rachel smiled that bright smile of hers, "Hello Finn!"

Chirpily she hugged him and kissed his cheek, "I was about to make me some dinner when you called, good timing."

Finn smiled to himself, "Yeah, I'm hungry."

"How was your day?"

"Been good," Finn chuckled as they walked to his car, "How was yours? The rehearsals?"

Rachel smiled, "It's been amazing, it's everything I've dreamed of. I can't wait to perform!"

Finn opened the car door for her, "I'd like to see you."

Rachel got inside; then Finn walked to his side and got in too.

"You'd really?"

"Yeah, you were really good that time in the bar," Finn started the car.

Rachel blushed proudly, "And I hadn't warmed up my voice."

Finn chuckled and nodded.

"Where are we going?"

"Do you like Italian food?" Finn asked, as Olive Garden came into his mind.

"Of course, who doesn't?" Rachel giggled.

Finn and Rachel arrived to Olive Garden. And, as any gentleman should, Finn opened the door for her.

They were already sitting in a booth, each of them eating what they had ordered. Finn was nervous, their dinner was getting closer to an end and he didn't know what he was supposed to do. Would he kiss her? What if she didn't want to? But what if she did?

So many questions started popping into Finn's mind. Boy, was he nervous.

"This was so good," Rachel said as she wiped her mouth gently with the napkin.

Finn smiled, "Good to hear."

Finn paid and then they left. Finn licked his lips nervously as he began driving to her apartment.

"Dinners are fun, we should do this more often," Rachel said with a smile as she played with the strap of her purse that was in her lap.

"Yeah, we should," Finn nodded with a smile. "I noticed that you ordered one of those vegan meals."

"Oh, yes," Rachel said, "I'm vegan since I was sixteen."

"That's interesting. How do you do it? I couldn't live without meat," Finn chuckled.

"It's actually easy, when you get used to eat. You only have to make sure that you get enough proteins."

Finn chuckled, "Are the vegan burgers any good? 'Cause they don't look…pleasing," Finn teased.

"Hey!" Rachel giggled as she gently pushed his shoulder, "They are good. I have a book about vegan recipes, I'll invite you someday for dinner and prepare something. I'm a really good chef. "

"Yeah, remember we already had dinner once? I didn't really noticed that it was, like, vegan food."

"Oh yes, but this time I'll make it special. I just need to find some free time, I need a lot of time to prepare a special meal," Rachel smiled.

"Sounds like a plan," Finn said as he stopped the car. He got out and opened the door for Rachel. They both walked in.

"I can even make you some vegan cookies," Rachel chuckled.

"I like cookies," He smiled, shoving his hands in his pockets nervously as they walked.

They walked in silence to her apartment. When they were outside of it Rachel broke the silence, "Thanks for the dinner, it was lovely."

Finn nodded as he slowly began to lean, he was going to kiss her.

For a moment, Finn believed that she was going to kiss him too, but she looked down and Finn quickly stood straight.

"I have a boyfriend," Rachel murmured.

"O-oh," Finn said, a chuckle came out of his mouth, it was a mix of nervousness and awkwardness.

"I-I'm sorry, I should've told you earlier," Rachel said, her eyes glued to the floor.

"No, it's good. I never asked anyway," Finn said trying to look 'cool'.

Rachel nodded as she tucked some hair behind her ear, "Thanks for the dinner, Finn," She repeated before walking inside of her apartment and closing the door.

Of course a girl like Rachel would have a boyfriend. Humiliated, Finn went home.
