Rachel decides to stop by Finn's after her first day of shooting. Its not a very big scene, and she's not in it for long, so she's out of their fairly early. She stops at home to wash the makeup off and the hair product out of her hair and she makes her way over to his place in jeans and a dark blue t-shirt.

She's nervous. She's not an unreasonable person, at least she doesn't think so, but she's never really liked apologizing. Plus it doesn't help that she likes Finn.

Daisy answers the door and the little girl grins at her and swings the door open. "Daddy is outside. Come on, I'll bring you to him." Daisy says grabbing Rachel's hand and leading her out back.

"Daddy!" Daisy shouts as soon as they're outside.

"What's up Daisy?" Finn asks hunched over the lawnmower.

"Rachel is here!" Finn shoots up from his position and spins around to face them.

"Hey," Rachel says smiling shyly.

"Hey. Daisy why don't you go find Delilah and you two can get ready to go into the pool okay?"

Daisy's face breaks out into a huge grin before she shouts out a "yes!" and dashes back into the house.

"So what can I help you with?" Finn asked crossing his arms across his chest.

Rachel tucked some stray hair behind her ear and shifted her weight from one foot to the other. "I just…I'm sorry about yesterday Finn. Its been a long time since I've been out with someone, and I think when you asked me I just panicked. So I just wanted to say I'm sorry."

Finn nods his head and Rachel notes that he's not making this easy for her. She doesn't blame him of course, she did kind of shoot him down pretty quickly. She knows that it probably wasn't easy for him to ask her out in the first place.

"So I was wondering, can you still get that sitter for Saturday?"

Finn's face breaks out into a big smile and he strides across the lawn towards her. "Sure can. Like I said before, she's pretty good at being able to sit for me."

A smile breaks out on Rachel's face and she's really glad that she came back over here. "I can't wait."

"Good. I'll pick you up at seven?"

"That sounds wonderful. I have to go though, I don't want to, but I have a meeting with my publicist and she flew down here to see me especially for this so I'd hate to keep her waiting."

"No problem. I'll see you Saturday."

"I can't wait. I'll see you then."


It seems to take Saturday forever to roll around. She knows its because she's anticipating it but she just can't wait for seven o'clock to get there.

She's not sure where he's taking her, he's refused to tell her. She thinks its cute that he's planning a surprise and that kind of surprises her. Normally she's the type of person who has every single detail planned and not knowing something was enough to send her on a warpath until she did know it. But for some reason, Finn made her feel things and do things that no one had been able to do before.

She's ready by six thirty and she attempts to go over some notes from her director about the scenes they shot today but she can't focus. There's this ball of energy, excitement, and nerves just growing in her body and she can't control it or make it stop. She almost thinks she's going crazy when pacing is the only thing she can seem to focus on. He knocks on the door just as Santana sends her a text wishing her luck and to get "fucking laid tonight." and she's laughing when she opens the door.

Finn is standing there in dark jeans and a dark grey button down shirt and he's shuffling his feet from side to side. He smiles at her and Rachel feels that little bundle of…whatever in her body go into overdrive.

"You look…amazing," he says taking in her navy blue halter dress and silver flats. She blushes a bit, and then she blushes a bit more when she realizes she's blushing in the first place.

"Thank you. You look fantastic as well," she replies grabbing her silver clutch and heading outside with him.

He gently leads her down the front walk and opens the door of his black _for her. He goes around the front of the car and slides in beside her.

"So where are we going?" Rachel asks as Finn pulls the car out onto the street.

Finn laughed and faced her for a moment before focusing back on the road. "I told you, its a surprise."

He laughed when he noticed her pouting a bit in the passenger's seat. "You'll love it, I promise." he reassures her and she feels a smile breaking out on her face.

"I can't even have a hint?"

Finn laughed. "Nope, don't worry it won't be much longer."

"Fine," Rachel huffed which made Finn laugh harder. He pulled into a parking lot and Rachel raised her eyebrows. "The beach?" she asked. She loved the beach and it wasn't often that she got the chance to go.

"Yes, I hope its okay. I packed some food and I figured we could eat, go for a walk." Finn explained suddenly looking nervous.

"This is wonderful. I've loved the beach since I was a little girl. I hardly ever get to go anymore unless Santana convinces me to spend a weekend in the Hampton's with her during the summer from time to time."

Finn smiled at her and she felt her heart melt a little bit. They climbed out of the car and Finn went into his trunk to pull out a picnic basket. They started to cross towards the beach and Rachel slipped off her flats and he slid his hand into her's. She didn't even try to fight the shiver that runs through her body from the contact.

Their conversation through dinner flows easily. They both talk about growing up and Rachel can tell that he's a man that's devoted to his family. He's obviously super close to Quinn and his mom and when he talks about his girls his entire face lights up. Rachel can't decide if this scares her or makes her like him more. She thinks its the latter if she's being completely honest.

She tells him about growing up in Columbus with Santana where they'd been friends since the first day of daycare. He laughs as she tells him about the time that Santana convinced her to try out of the cheerleading time with her and she'd been so nervous she had stage fright for the first and only time in her life. Needless to say she didn't make the team, but they both realized it was for the best.

They finish eating as the sun is setting and Finn helps her up. They walk along the shore, her hand fitting easily in his. Every once and a while she bends down to pick up a shell or piece of beach glass. Its a perfect evening and she's really glad that she decided to change her mind and spend it with him.

They're watching the waves crash around when he gently pulls her to him. And when he bends his head towards her's she leans up to meet him in what is honestly the best kiss she's had in years.

Its later when they're a mess of tangled limbs in his bed and her head is on his chest as he's sleeping that Rachel realizes she could fall for him.

And she's honestly not sure whether that scares her or delights her.
