Chapter 6
Finn's P.O.V
"Yeah. That's just hysterical," Finn replied somewhat sarcastically.
I'm gonna kill Quinn, he thought to himself.
"What?" Rachel inquired, staring at him like he was deranged.
Crap. Did I think aloud? He thought again.
"Nothing. It's nothing," he responded.
"So, are you ok?" Rachel asked looking concerned.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Finn replied, unsure of what she was talking about.
"When you left lunch earlier, you looked kinda sick."
Finn mentally kicked himself for how he reacted when Jesse St. Jackass picked her up.
"I'm fine, Rach. Really, I was just still really hung over. Thanks."
Rachel nodded, but didn't look convinced.
"So," Finn began, remembering why he had come, "I'm really excited about the wedding."
Rachel smiled and replied, "Me too. I'll be fun."
"I'm really excited to be going with you," he said, hoping that she'd agree.
She looked shocked.
"You are? I thought that you asked me because I couldn't find a date."
"Not at all. Of course you could get a date. I just wanted to go with you myself," Finn replied, smiling at her.
A slight blush crept across Rachel's cheeks and she returned the smile.
"I'm really glad to be going with you too. It'll be nice to just hang out with a friend."
Finn felt like she might've welled kneed him in the stomach.
He forced on a smile and said, "Mhm. Yeah."
Rachel didn't seem to notice the strain in his voice, because she smiled brightly. Finn couldn't help but notice how beautiful her smile was. It lit up her face. And it seemed infectious.
"Besides I want the prettiest one in the room to be my date," he blurted before he could think about it. He thought he made a huge mistake until he remembered that that was what he was supposed to be doing and he shyly smiled at her.
Rachel's blush was full-blown and she had trouble meeting his gaze. Finn knew that he had embarrassed her.
"Thanks," she murmured.
"You don't thank people for stating facts, Rach."
Finn was growing confident. Rachel looked up and he caught her eye and held her gaze. He had the unendurable urge to kiss her. Just when he thought he might she looked down and said, "Umm… Jesse invited me to the Sectionals or Regionals, I always forget, for his show choir, Vocal Adrenaline on Thursday. I'm inviting a bunch of people and you're invited too. Can you come?"
Finn fought to hide the frustration in his voice when he answered, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Good. You can bring a date if you want," Rachel offered.
"I don't want to bring a date," Finn replied, forgetting Puck's plan for the moment.
"Oh. Tickets are 5 bucks a piece. Jesse will save us seats up front. I'll see you then," Rachel concluded, informally kicking him out.
He nodded and smiled. She led him to the door and opened it.
"Bye," she said, still not meeting his eyes.
"Bye, Rach," he replied. He bent down and kissed her on the cheek before leaving.
Rachel's P.O.V
Finn Hudson was going to kiss her.
She'd known him forever and she knew when he wanted to kiss a girl. He got this look about him. He'd given it to Rachel when they'd first met, but he'd been very drunk then.
Rachel paced in her living room.
She'd wanted him to kiss her. More than she'd ever wanted anything.
"This is so typical Finn," she ranted to herself, "He waits until I'm actually starting a relationship before liking me. He only wants me because he can't have me. Ugh!"
Rachel's phone went off and she relieved that it didn't play Faithfully because that would've meant Finn was calling.
"Hello?" Rachel answered it.
"Hey Rachel, its Jesse. I can't wait until our date and I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner tonight?" Jess replied.
"Yeah. That'd be great," she said half-heartedly, still focused on the Finn issue.
"Great. I'll pick you up at 7?" he inquired enthusiastically.
"Perfect," she replied, not quite matching his enthusiasm.
Rachel still didn't know what she was going to do by the time they hung up.
Then it dawned on her. He needed a new girlfriend.
All she had to do was invite someone to the show choir thing and set them up.
He'd get over her immediately if the girl was great. Besides, Rachel knew that he wasn't in love with her or anything. Guys and girls who were friends went through this sometimes.
Rachel smiled at her plan and opened her phone.
She scrolled through her contacts, determined to set Finn up.
A/N: Did anyone see that coming? Because I didn't. I just made that up right now.
