Rachel lay splayed out on her bed. This was the third day she had called in sick, but she wasn't sick. Truth was she was just avoiding Finn. After their kiss in the choir room she couldn't go back and talk to him about it. But what was she afraid of? Hurting Quinn? Getting hurt herself? Finn had cheated on Quinn… with her… Was Finn really that kind of guy usually? Rachel jumped when she heard her phone buzzing on her bedside table. She rolled over, grabbed her phone and without looking at the name, pressed the green phone.

"Hello?"

"Rachel?"

Shit! It was Finn. She was meant to be sick!

Rachel put on a gravelly voice, "Uh, Finn…"

"How are you? Are you any better? I...miss you." He said, low voice for the 'I miss you'.

"Uh, terrible." Rachel fake coughed, "I- uh- I gotta go."

"Wait, Rach… We need to talk."

"Ok Bye Finn." Rachel said in a rush and hung up the phone.

What was she doing? This was silly, tomorrow she would go to work and- as much as she didn't want to say it- 'deal with Finn'.

Rachel walked into the school and rushed to Finn's office. She got to his office and closed the door behind her. He was sitting at his desk and a big smile appeared on his face when he saw her.

"Rachel? You're better?" He smiled, standing up and walking closer to her.

"Yeah…" Rachel said slowly.

Finn brought his hand up to her cheek and gently brushed his thumb over her cheek.

"We need to talk." Finn said softly, a gentle smile growing on his lips.

Rachel put her hand over his pulling it down and back to his side, "We do." She nodded.

"Rachel I wanna be-"

"Wait!" Rachel said bringing her hand up between them gesturing for him to stop, "I can't Finn." She said as she moved away from him sitting down at the chairs across from his desk.

"No Rachel please listen-"

"Finn, you cheated on my sister with me. What about Quinn?"

"What does she have to do with this?"

"Finn! She's my sister and we just got things good again and I don't want to hurt her again!"

"But we broke up months ago!" Finn told Rachel.

"Finn, my point is… if you cheated on her with me, then what would you do to me?" Rachel said standing up and walking to the door.

"You do things to me!" Finn said. Rachel had her hand on the door and turned her head to look at him, "Remember what you said?"

"Finn I've moved on. So should you."

"Well what was that kiss? In the choir room!" Finn said standing up and grabbing Rachel's arm.

Rachel shook out of his grasp, "you caught me off guard." Rachel told him and walked out of his office fast.

Tears started to pour over her eyelids, she was totally lying, she had kissed him back for a reason, she liked him. She hated herself for finally finding a guy who actually likes her for her and she just brushes it off like its nothing. But she couldn't date him, not after Quinn, she was right, what would he do to her? She knows what he is capable of, and that's cheating. She just couldn't.

Rachel spent the rest of her Friday at work avoiding him, again. Her chat with Finn in the morning solved nothing, if it did anything it was cause her pain. She felt like her heart had been ripped out, and even worse, by herself. The day just happened to feel like the slowest day of her life, but when she finally did get home to her apartment she put her runners on and went for a jog on her treadmill. She blasted Barbra and closed out the world. Even few minutes she uncontrollably pressed the button to go faster. It got so fast that she wasn't jogging anymore but sprinting! At least it took out her frustration with herself, usually you can take the frustrating thing out of the equation and problem solved, but in this case she was stuck with it.

She got off the treadmill, sweating and had a shower as she belted out some more Barbra. Barbra always made her day, but today she was failing her. When Rachel got out she started to make dinner. She got as far as getting a bowl out before she heard the doorbell. She wondered who it would be, she slowly walked towards the door and opened it. There Finn was, standing in the corridor.

"Finn, what are you doing here!" She asked him frustrated.

"Rachel I want you to hear me out. You didn't even give me a shot earlier."

As much as Rachel knew she should close the door in his face to save herself her heart took over and she gestured for him to come in. She stood in the main hall of her apartment with her arms crossed in front of her, "What?"

"Rachel there is no other way to put this…I feel like I need you in my life." Finn said gulping.

Rachel felt her heart pound but ignored it.

"If we ever dated, I want you to know I would never cheat on you. You know why, because I have this strong connection with you and it won't go away. Rachel, you're amazing. I thought I loved Quinn, but I didn't because I cheated on her of course." Finn shrugged, he looked up and into Rachel's full eyes. "When I met you my whole world turned around, I thought I had it all, but I didn't, because you weren't in my arms. I'm glad you told me to take you to the couch." Finn half chuckled, "Because it set me free of Quinn and made me realise I need something else, someone else. When we did it, I had never felt more 'whole' in my life, I know this sounds insane but It's like you complete me. And-"

"Finn," Rachel stopped him, walking closer to him, "Shut up." She grinned cheekily.

Next thing her lips were on his and his tongue was in her mouth. Rachel jumped up on him and wrapped her legs around his waist. Finn put his hands on her back and pulled her closer to him as her tongue danced with his finding rhythm. Finn had to break their kiss to ask Rachel where the bedroom was. They both giggled and Rachel pointed to her door. They crashed their lips back together and Finn shoved his way through her bedroom door. When he got to her bed he dropped Rachel on it and crawled up on top of her. He swooped past her lips teasingly and placed and very gentle kiss on her neck. He placed more and more small kisses all over her neck but Rachel wanted more. She placed her hand behind his head, tangling her fingers in his hair and pushing him closer to her neck. Finn got the idea and slipped his tongue out to gently lick the soft skin. He started sucking and Rachel moaned out. Finn pulled away for a second to look at Rachel. She looked beautiful and he didn't want to stop seeing her face.

"I really want this…too." Finn whispered a very long overdue sentence.

Rachel knew what he meant and it made her think of their first time together. This felt right, Rachel knew it was right. Finn was special and she was never not going to see that face ever again.

please review! thanks for staying with it up to this point :D
