Day 5

It was the last day of school for the week, and Santana was holding some kind of party at her house on Saturday night, her parents were never home so the parties at her house usually got pretty wild, this one was a bit different though, it was a costume party, I honestly think glee has gotten to her as well, she usually didn't care what people wore, all she cared about was having someone in her bedroom for the night, usually more than one, and I was usually one of those.

But not this time, I was going to the party with Rachel and we were going to her house tonight to decided on costumes, I wasn't big into this whole thing, but she loved dressing up, I only agreed to keep her happy.

Santana knew we weren't going to be in bed together again anytime soon, and she seemed cool with it, the chick seriously has grown up, she's a lot nicer than she used to be, I kind of like it, I actually had a conversation with her in Chemistry the other day, a civilised one where she actually said more than a few words.

I was happy with my life.

-XX-

The day flew in for a change, I think it might have been because I actually paid attention in class; Rachel was definitely rubbing off on me. When the bell rang for the end of the day I was surprised to say the least, who knew school wasn't such a drag when you were learning something?

I was on my way to glee when I saw Rachel standing down the corridor talking to Finn, needless to say my heart broke a little bit, and when I seen them kiss I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I thought we were going somewhere, that I was more than just her best friend, more than her shoulder to cry on, but I was wrong, I didn't want her to be with Finn, but if it made her happy then I guess I could deal with it, because I loved her and I couldn't lose her. I won't even act like I'm upset or hurt; I'll be supportive because in the end it's her decision.

I sit in glee club in my usual seat and wait for her, and when she doesn't show I get a little bit worried, she never misses glee, she did once, but I was there with her. She wouldn't miss it for the world; I looked up to see Finn sitting behind me and wondered why Rachel wasn't there too.

"Dude, where's Rachel?" I asked him, in a whispered voice, Schue had already started drabbling on about something, I didn't care what he had to say, what was glee without Rachel? She was always the one making me pay attention

"How'm I supposed to know?" he snapped back, what's his problem? He just freaking made out with her in the corridor and now he's getting all pissed?

Wait? Did something happen? Did she turn him down?

"Sorry, I'll be back later" I said while leaving the room swiftly, I didn't even wait for Mr Schue to take a breath, no wonder people think I'm rude.

I turned the corridor and saw her, sitting bundled on the floor, this didn't make sense at all, why was she crying? What the hell am I missing here?

"Rach?" I said quietly approaching her slowly, I didn't want to frighten her, she looked so fragile.

She looked up and cleared her eyes of tears, sniffling a few times before her eyes settled on mine, she didn't say anything to me, but I knew exactly what had happened, she didn't plan the kiss and she didn't like it, did Finn get upset? I'll kill him if he hurt her.

I sat down beside her and wiped a stray tear from her cheek "You ok?" I asked

She nodded, but you could see that she was clearly upset, she was good at hiding her emotions, but not when she had a tear streaked face and she looked like someone had just stolen her cookie or something.

"Finn kissed me" she said looking at the lockers across the hall

"And you didn't want him to?" I didn't want to push her, but I wanted to know what happened, to know what chance I still had or hadn't got

She shook her head

"No, I don't like him that way anymore, it took me all my time to get over him and then he thinks he can just do that and everything will be okay? I don't want him back because he's jealous, I want someone who wants me for me, not just to have me so no one else can"

She wasn't really making sense, ranting more than telling me what happened, she seemed like she just needed to get everything out. I did catch one thing, jealous. What was Finn jealous off; sometimes I don't understand him at all

"Jealous?" I asked my thought out loud

"Of you"

She didn't say anything else for a while; I had plenty of time to think. Finn was jealous of me? Why? I was Rachel's best friend, he wanted more than that, what has he got to be jealous of? He had her and he gave her away, he doesn't have the right to be jealous.

"He thinks were dating" she said out of nowhere "I didn't deny it"

She didn't? Does that mean she likes the idea? If she didn't protest then does she want us to be dating? Is this her way of telling me? I've never been so confused in my life right now.

I turn to look at her and realise she's staring at me, I feel a like uncomfortable, not because she's looking at me, just because I didn't realise she was.

"Let's go get our costumes ready for tonight" she says getting to her feet, holding out her hand to help me up, I laugh and take it anyway, not using her in any way, She would collapse to the ground with even a fraction of my weight under her.

We walk to the car and drive to her house; I park my car in her driveway and walk through her door up to her room, something I'm accustomed to now.

"I picked these out this morning; I think we would look good in them"

She wants us to be pirates, me dress up like a pirate. I agree anyway and tell her they look cool, because to be honest her costume looks hot, it's too short, but that makes it even better, and well mine isn't all that bad, she could have come up with something worse, I don't have to wear the full costume, like the red and black stripy trousers, I can surely give them a miss, and I can make anything look cool.

She slips into the bathroom to put on her costume and I take of my top and put on the shirt, it fits rather well and it looks alright with my jeans, when she come back from the bathroom I think my jaw made a dent in the floor.

She's trying to kill me, yep I've figured it out, she knows I think she's hot and she's just trying to make me suffer for all the bad things I've ever done to her

"Does it look okay?" she asked me, god how can I answer that?

"Umm yeah" I say after a large gulp

"I can change it if you don't like it, I have other costumes" she says, her face turning down a little

God she thinks I don't like it, screw you Puck, tell her how beautiful she looks.

"No Rach you look amazing, I don't think you could do any better" I smiled at her and watch her face light up

I move to sit on the bed; I don't think my legs will let me stand any longer, not if Rachel's in the room anyway.

She comes to sit beside me and I think I'm going to pass out or something

"Really? Good because I really like this one and you look hot as a pirate" she bites her tongue after her last comment and looks at me with embarrassment in her eyes.

She thinks I look hot? I think my prayers have been answered

I don't hesitate as I move in to her, my lips gently press against hers and when she kisses me back and doesn't pull away I think my stomach does a somersault.

She pulled back from the kiss after a few minutes to look into my eyes "I didn't deny we were together because I wanted us to be" she grinned before kissing me again

Wow. Was all my mind would let me think, I'm kissing the most beautiful girl in the world right now, I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world.

I could kick myself though, why didn't I do this before? I wasted all that time, but I don't care because it was still spent with her, my best friend and now my girlfriend Rachel Berry.
