Chapter 10
Finn looked up from the floor when he heard a small gasp.
He had been waiting for hours outside Rachel's apartment; he had canceled all of the day's appointments and apologized for it.
"Hey," Finn told Rachel as he stood up.
"You scared me," Rachel said.
"I… I came to apologize," he said as Rachel opened the door. "I should've texted you instead of making you wait, I really thought that it would be quick. And-."
"Come in," Rachel interrupted him while she pushed the door open.
They both walked inside and Rachel closed the door. She led him to the living room. Everything seemed so familiar to Finn now, the small table between the two couches, the carpet that matched the cushions of the couches, and the same pot that Rachel would fill with lively flowers every week.
He sat down nervously and Rachel took a seat too. He heard her take a deep breath before she spoke.
"I'm sorry, Finn. I know I overreacted. I- it's okay, that you got here a little late-."
"She convinced me, she said she felt weird and I didn't want her to have some kind of…infection," Finn interrupted quickly, he then licked his lips nervously.
"-But when you talk about my show, about my dream, like that," Rachel shook her head not finding the right word. "Just, don't do it again. Please."
Finn nodded, "I won't, I'm sorry."
Rachel nodded.
"Can I ask a question?" She asked as she tucked some of her brunette hair behind her ear.
"Yeah, sure."
"Are you really close with Santana? We have never talked about her so… I'm curious."
"I guess…. I guess you could say we're close. We have some kind of weird bond because I lost my virginity to her when we were in high school," Finn said.
"Oh," Rachel's head went down.
"She was kind of mean in high school but she's really cool now. Brittany changed her."
"They're like best friends, right?" Rachel asked trying to not look too disappointed, but her head was still down.
"Totally."
"Does she have a boyfriend?" Rachel murmured.
"Er, I thought you knew… Brittany is her girlfriend. She's…"
Rachel's head went up and her beautifully musical laugh filled the room, but Finn frowned.
"Hey, don't laugh. I have a gay brother, remember? That's not cool, to laugh."
"No, no! I'm sorry, "Rachel said as she took a deep breath to calm herself down. "I have two gay dads, I'm fine with that .In fact, I hate homophobes. I just, I never thought that Santana was in that kind of relationship with Brittany."
"And that's why you're laughing?" Finn asked a little too confused.
"The irony…" Rachel bit her lip. "I thought you might feel something for Santana and you brought Jesse up last night, maybe you think I still have romantic feelings for Jesse, but, Jesse's gay. That's why we broke up. I was ashamed to tell you and I was devastated when he broke up with me. But he later explained everything… We're amazing friends."
"Ashamed? Rachel, I lost my virginity to a lesbian."
Rachel smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Wait… Did you- Are you just with me because Jesse is gay?"
"No," Rachel shook her head. "No, I was starting to have feelings for you. But I was with him. And then, when he broke up with me he just told me that we weren't right for each other, Jesse and I, but he also told me that I should go with you, that I look happy with you. And I am, I really am. It's just, I wasn't expecting him to break up with me, you know? And at that time it didn't really make sense. Jesse and I have a really strong relationship, friendship and I didn't want to lose him."
Finn nodded, "I understand."
He kissed her temple softly and Rachel smiled.
"I'm sorry for all the drama."
"It's not all your fault. I should've clarified everything, about Santana. I thought you knew."
Rachel shook her head, "I didn't."
"Yeah, she doesn't go around telling it to everyone."
"I could guess," Rachel smiled.
"She's nice, you know. You should try to know her better. Like I said, she was mean in high school, like the typical meanie one," He said and Rachel giggled at his words. "But because of Brittany she is a total different person. She's still mean some times. When she's like that you just have to ignore her, you'll get used to it. Oh, and she does like to party. A lot."
Rachel giggled once again and nodded, "I'll try to get to know her better."
He took her small hands in his, "I love you, Rachel."
Rachel smiled, "I love you too, Finn."
Finn smiled and pressed his lips on Rachel's. He loved the feeling she, and only she could give him. The chills running down his spine, the goose bumps on his skin, the butterflies in his stomach, everything.
Their kiss was quick but with passion.
Finn's mind drifted somewhere else, somewhere only Rachel could take him. He smiled against her lips, and they both, at the same time, murmured the same words.
"I love you."
That was all. I hope you enjoyed it and that it did not disappoint. I'm looking forward to writing another fic soon. Please review and thank you!
