Enjoy!
Buzz….buzz Rachel was rudely awakened by what was the best night's sleep she had ever had by the buzzing of her cell phone. She grabbed her phone off her nightstand and looked at her phone.
*Meet me at the Daily Grind 10 am coffee.*
What the hell does he want? She groaned inwardly to herself.
*What the hell do you want Jesse?*
She quickly typed a response back and threw her phone down and rolled over and was met with the most gorgeous hazel eyes she had ever seen.
"Morning." Finn grabs me a places a soft kiss on my lips.
"Morning." I tell him pushing myself closer to him. Buzz….buzz. Damn it I am really starting to regret giving him my number I think to myself as I grab my phone. Finn gives me a strange look. "Sorry." I say to him.
*Now…now that's no way to greet a friend come on its just coffee.*
"Ugg." I grumble as I text him back.
*Fine if I agree will you go away?*
"Who was that?" Finn asks looking over my shoulder.
"Oh, that was none other than Jesse St. James." I tell him hoping that this doesn't turn in to a fight because honestly there is nothing going on between Jesse and I. Finn lets out a chuckle as my phone begins to vibrate. "What?"
"Nothing." Finn just smiles. Shit she's going to kill me when she finds out that I am the one that told Jesse to ask her out for coffee.
*Maybe.*
I'm going to kill him.
*Whatever I will see you at 10 now leave me alone.*
I turn my phone off and see Finn in a full uproar.
"What is so funny?" I ask him.
"So coffee with Jesse huh? Mind if I come along?" Oh he is going to love this when he sees me walk in there with Rachel.
"Sure I guess. So you're not mad that I am having coffee with him?" I ask he really shouldn't be mad but given past experience I wanted to make sure.
"Me? Mad Na…actually it's kind of a funny story." He figured he might as well tell her that he and Jesse are room mates considering that she is going to find out sooner or later.
"What is?" I ask as I grab my robe from behind my door.
"Well… Jesse is my room mate." He tells me as I give him a very confused look.
"Wait…Jesse is your room mate? Ok….one I thought you were only here for a couple days and two when the hell did this happen?" I ask trying not to be pissed at the fact that he lied to me.
"Well…for starters after I got discharged from the Army I went hiking across Georgia and I ran into Jesse and well he told me about his uncle who is the dead of admissions at NYU and said that I should check it out. So I did and come to find out that since I was in the military that I qualified for a full ride scholarship. So, you are looking at NYU newest dramatic arts student. Now to answer the second question Jesse offered to give me a place to stay because the dorms were all full and he lives pretty close to campus. I would've called Kurt but, I knew that you two were sharing a place and well I wasn't ready to face you. Look I am sorry if it pissed you off that I didn't tell you. I was a mess after I was discharged and I really needed to get away from everything and put my life back together because I knew that was going to be the only way I was going to get you back." I sit there in awe of this man in front of me. While I should be pissed that he was in New York the whole time…it was quite the opposite she was so proud of the man that he had became.
"Finn…that is great." I walk over and give him the biggest hug that I could. I was truly happy for him.
"So…you're not like mad or anything?" Finn asks breaking the hug.
"No…while I should be mad that you just now told me you are living in New York but, I understand why you did it. I mean you had to find yourself and I am so proud of you Finn." I let out a small sigh and continue on. "Can I ask you something Finn?" I turn to look at him.
"Sure." He tells me giving me that beautiful crooked smile of his.
"Are you happy? I mean not like you have your health happy…I mean are you truly happy?" I am not sure why I asked him it was quite obvious that he was happy maybe….I was just looking for some kind of validation I don't know.
"Rachel when I let you get on that train it was one of the worst days of my life and also one of the biggest regrets I have. So I joined the military and there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think of you. I even named my gun Rachel. So when Jesse told me about his uncle I thought this was my shot to finally be happy but…I was still miserable that was until I came to your house. Seeing you it was like I was looking at the world through a whole new light. So…to answer your question yes I am truly happy. How about you are you happy?" I wipe the stray tear that has fallen from my face. I just wanted to pull him close to me and never let him go.
"Yes." was all I could manage to say.
"Let me take you out tonight." He asks me taking my hand.
"You mean like a date?" I ask unsure of his intentions.
"Yes…let me take you on a real date since we have never like done that before." I take a deep breath unsure of what to say.
"Finn…I…I don't know I mean we have so much still to talk about and…" I am quickly cut off by Finn.
"I know…I just want to take you out on a proper date. No strings attached just two friends catching up nothing more." I can see the sincerity in his eyes as he moves closer towards me I can feel his breath on my skin and it sends chills down my spine.
"You and I both know we have never been just friends." I tell him my voice is breathy as I am hypnotized by his eyes, his smell, everything about him is sending me into overdrive.
"True." He says his voice thick with lust as he pulls me by the belt of my robe and kisses me. The kiss is sweet at first as the kiss deepens he pulls me closer. His hands travel up to the opening of my robe and he begins to knead my breast with his had. I can feel my nipples come to attention at his touch. In my mind I know that this is so wrong but my traitor of a body wants more. His mouth leaves mine as he places small and gentle kiss along my neck I close my eyes and let out a soft moan. I can feel his mouth move down to breasts I let out a small gasp as he takes one in his mouth causing us to both fall back on my bed. I can feel him place several small kisses along my stomach and I feel his hand toying with the top of my panties his hand slowly moves down to the apex of my thighs as he hooks a finger inside my panties and slowly pulls them down my hips. I feel him move further down placing soft kisses as he lifts his head up he gives me a devilish grin his eyes are dark with desire as he starts to suck my small nub causing me to squirm in delight. I can feel his tongue dart in and out of me. I feel the coil inside me begin to come undone as he licks and sucks my nub. I don't know how much more of this I can take before I completely lose it. After he has sucked me dry I feel him move up back to my mouth. I can taste myself on him and it is the most erotic thing I have ever tasted. I flip him over so that he is on his back and I place soft kisses along his chest and down his stomach. I grasp his boxers and pull them down his hips freeing his erection. As I move further down to his erection he stops me. "Rachel you don't have to." He tells me with hooded eyes.
"I want to." I tell him as I begin to tease the tip with my tongue he lets out a moan and I continue to take his entire length in my mouth. I work his erection with my mouth. "Rachel I'm going to cum." I hear him say which causes me to take more of him. I feel the pulsating sensation and I continue to suck him until there is nothing left I take my tongue and lick the tip of his cock and move back up to his mouth. The combination of our tastes is amazing. He flips us both over so that I am now on my back I can feel his erection at my entrance. "Are you sure?" I hear him ask. I give him a nod "I love you Rachel." he says as he lowers himself on me.
"Hey Rachel you coming down for….Oh dear god I think I am going to be sick." Shit Shit I forgot Santana was here.
"Santana don't you knock?" I scream at her as I quickly pull the covers over me.
"Uh….Hello? I live here too." Santana rolls her eyes. "What's with frankenteen?" she gives a nod to Finn
"Santana." Finn says trying to cover himself up.
"Oh, come on it's not like I haven't see you before." "Kurt sent me up here to see if you were coming down for breakfast but….looks like you two have already ate." Santana gives my sly smirk. I can feel my entire body blush. Why Santana of all people.
"Ya, we'll be down in a minute." I tell her searching for my tank top.
"Oh, and Berry you owe me a girl talk." she smiles as she tosses my tank top to me and closes the door. I burry my head in the covers I can not believe Santana just walked in on us almost having sex. She is not going to let me live this down at all.
"Ok, that was awkward." Finn says grabbing his boxers.
"Ya, remind me next time to lock the door or something." I tell him as I grab my pants and proceed to put them on.
"Next time?" Finn says grabbing me by the waist and kisses my neck.
"Well…I mean come on its quite obvious that we can't keep our hands off each other and well….you have to admit the sexual tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife." I tell him as I get lost in his kisses.
"Uh…huh." is all I hear him say.
"Finn stop seriously." I tell him pushing him off me.
"Fine…so about that date?" Finn gives me a pout and changes the subject.
"I think a date between just friends would be nice." I give him a flirty smile "You coming?" I ask
"You mind if I take a shower?" I hear him ask.
"Sure." I nod and head downstairs.
XXXX
"So?" Kurt asks as he sees Santana walk down the stairs.
"Berry and Doughboy will be down in a minute." Santana rolls her eyes and grabs a bagel.
"You think they spent the night together?" Kurt asks Santana while grabbing a slice of toast and some eggs.
"Please…the sexual tension is so thick it's enough for a nun to want to get laid." Santana rolls her eyes and takes a bite out of her bagel.
"I bet they don't last a week." Kurt says.
"Ha…I bet they didn't make it past him walking in the door." Santana counters.
"Want to make a friendly wager?" Kurt asks pulling a ten out of his pocket.
"Sure ten bucks says they have already got it on." Santana places a ten on the table.
"You're on." Kurt shakes Santana's hand.
"Hey guys what's going on?" I ask knowing that they are up to something.
"Oh, nothing where's Finn?" Kurt tries to change the subject.
"He's in the shower?" I tell them as I walk to the fridge and pour a glass of orange juice.
"So….how is Finn?" Santana asks in her usual catty tone.
"He's good I guess we haven't really talked that much since he came back." I tell them taking a sip of my orange juice.
"So you guys were up late." Kurt points out. I give him a weird look trying to figure out what is going on with Santana and Kurt.
"Ya, sure…I guess." I am still trying to figure out why they keep giving each other glances.
"Finn!" Kurt says in his usual happy self.
"Hey." Finn gives Kurt a strange look.
"See I told you." Santana whispers to Kurt.
"Ok, what is going on here?" Finn asks noticing the passing glances Kurt and Santana keep giving them.
"Well…would you look at that I am late for class." Santana quickly gets up.
"Ya…I…I got to go too." I and Finn give them a very strange look at the way they are acting and then I see the money on the table and it all makes sense now.
"Hold it you two." I say grabbing them both by the arm and sitting them back on the couch.
"What?" both Santana and Kurt say.
"I saw the money on the table. Did you two happen to make a bet about Finn and me?" None of them answer they just look at each other and back at Finn and I. "You did! Oh, my god do you two have no life at all?" Part of me is furious that they would do this the other part is just confused.
"What the hell dude?" Finn just stares at Kurt who is trying to contain his laughter.
"What it was her idea." Kurt shrugs his shoulders and passes blame to Santana who is laughing.
"Oh, come on the sexual tension between you two is sickening one of you will cave. So what Kurt and I made a small bet. Hell we both could use the money what's the big deal anyway?" Santana just blows it off like everything else.
"Finn and I aren't even together and you two are making bets of when we will sleep together. Unbelievable." I raise my hands up in frustration.
"We haven't even done anything." Finn tries to defend us but it's not working.
"Ya so you two were what playing hide and seek when I walked in on you guys." I hear Santana say.
"Not that it's any of your business but Finn and I have not slept together. Now if you don't mind Finn and I are going to go get some coffee." Rachel grabs Finn by the arm and pulls him out the door.
"Pay up." Santana holds her hand out to Kurt.
"No way you cheated." Kurt puts the money in his pocket.
"Whatever." Santana walks off in a huff.
XXXX
At The Daily Grind Finn and Rachel are sitting at the table drinking coffee.
"Can you believe Santana and Kurt actually made a bet of when you and I will sleep with each other." I say still annoyed at my room mates.
"Well…can you blame them. If Santana hadn't walked in who knows what would've happened." He points out as he takes a sip of his late I let out a chuckle. "What?" He asks
"Uh…you got some foam on your nose." I reach across the table and take my thumb and wipe the foam off his nose he grabs my hand and pulls me into a kiss. Ok not sure how this whole friends thing works but I am pretty sure we are doing it wrong. Our kiss is interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We quickly break apart.
"Well I see you two have made up." Jesse says taking a seat next to me. "Rachel." he gives me that creepy smile of his.
"What's up man." Finn says
"Well…I think that should be my question." Jesse counters as he looks at Finn and then at me.
"Ya….I kind of went to Rachel's last night." I give Finn a look.
"I see that so….you two back together?" Jesse asks taking a drink of his coffee.
"We're just friends." I tell him wishing that he would just go away. I still can not believe that Finn is staying with him.
"Ya, friends." Finn says as he looks at me and grabs my hand.
"Sure….you do know friends don't make out and hold hands." Why does he have to be such an ass.
"Jesse why do you care?" I ask finally having enough of him.
"I don't." Uggg….I swear if murder was legal. "So Finn you get you class schedule yet?" God even his voice makes me want to stab him with a fork. I swear as soon as he leaves I am going to have a talk with Finn about his current living situation.
"Not yet I have to pick it up tomorrow." Finn tells him and then he looks over at me and smiles. Oh ya smile now Finn I think to myself.
"Cool, so ya I got to meet my brother at the label. Should I expect you home tonight?" Jesse turns to Finn.
"Actually Jesse Finn is going to stay with me tonight. Santana has a date with Brittney and Kurt is picking Blaine up from the airport. So we will have the apartment all to ourselves." I give Finn a flirtatious look.
"What ever. It was good too see you Rachel and Finn I will talk to you later." Good he finally left.
"Rachel what the hell was that?" Finn acts like he is shocked or something.
"What?" I asks feigning innocence
"I thought you and I were just going to be friends." He just gives me a look.
"What? Friends can spend the night with each other can't they?" I ask taking another sip of my tea.
"Rachel you and both know that if we are left alone in a room bad things are going to happen." Ok so he is right we really can't be left alone.
"Ok, so how about this no hand holding, no kissing, or anything of the sort until we figure this thing out." I tell him.
"You really think that is going to work I mean we can go five minutes with out touching each other in some way. Look at us now." I look down at our hands that are still linked together.
"Ok, point made." I tell him giving up. We just sit there for minute looking into each other's eyes. I know that we still have a lot to sort through but this was a start.
"You want to get out of here?" Finn asks breaking the silence.
"Sure…where are we going?" I asks as he takes my hand.
"You'll see." Finn just gives me a smile as we walk out of the coffee shop.
