Down On the Boardwalk
Okay, I have rethought this chapter like 100 times, so I decided I'd better write it before it changes again. Finn & Rachel has been hanging out in my dreams at night. So without further delay here we go. Again, much thanks and love to Allie and Sara.
Disclaimer: I still don't own anything but my errors. Glee belongs to RIB and bunch while the songs used in this chapter belong to New Kids on the Block and Christina Aguilera.
Finn wakes up confused for a brief moment of where he is. He feels Rachel cuddle into his chest, memories of last night coming back to him. He bends his head down to place a tender kiss on her hair as he caresses her back. Feeling her stir, he whispers, "Morning baby."
Rachel opens her eyes and locks them with his and smiles, "You stayed?" she asks as she burrows closer to his body, wrapping her leg over his torso.
"Of course I stayed; Rach there is no one else I'd rather wake up next to," Finn says as he pulls her as close to him as possible, "I told you last night that I want to be with you and after spending the day with the bunch scattered around the house today; I have every intention of showing you how much I want you later tonight."
Rachel accepts his lips with hers and whimpers, "Oh God, I can't wait." They lie there for a few more minutes, exploring each others body. "Rach, if we keep doing this, I won't be able to let you out of this bed."
"Well, I don't see a problem with us staying in bed all day." She whispers seductively as she slides her index finger down the length of his manhood.
"You're amazing!" Finn says to her as he rolls her over unto her back and enters her. This morning is such a stark contrast of their slow lovemaking from last night, Finn pumps in and out of her feverishly. She digs her fingernails into his shoulders as he continues assaulting her body. Their bodies are moving fast yet in sync, even with the urgency of their motions, both sharing their love for one another with their eyes.
Rachel wraps her legs around his body as she lets go which causes the chain reaction with his immediately releasing inside of her. "Finn," Rachel says as she gasps for her breath "I could definitely get used to waking up like this every morning." She blushes as she realizes for all that she knows, once they return home that he may not want to be with her. (You know the whole caught in the moment, being surrounded by so many couples.)
Finn senses the change in Rachel's demeanor, he asks as he caresses her cheek, "Hey, what's wrong baby?'
"It is just wrong of me to assume that this is something that will carry over into our real lives; I'm sorry, I have a way of speaking before I think." She says as she tries to hide her face in his chest.
"Wait, what in the hell are you talking about," he didn't mean to curse her but, damn it what is going on in her head right now, "this is real life, Rachel, I've already told you that I want to be with you! I thought that I showed you that last night!"
Rachel finding herself offended by the way he has just spoken to her blurts out, "You just showed me that you wanted to have sex with me!" as she pushes him off of her and sits up on the bed.
Reaching for her so she can't move off of the bed he seethes, "Do you really think that? Rachel, I told you that I felt like I am falling in love with you! And I thought that you felt the same way!" he breathes, "I don't play those kind of games, I have been on the receiving end of those one too many times; I want you to be mine."
Rachel is left speechless, she has never had anyone ever tell her anything like this before, she takes a moment before she finally whispers, "Finn, I've been hurt so many times by men telling me that they love me, just to have my heart broken when they tire of me."
Finn reaches up and wipes the tears that are now tumbling down her cheek, he whispers "Rachel, I have no intentions of hurting you; I feel a connection with you that I have never felt before in my life. Please take a chance on me, because if you walk away from this without giving us a change, I will never be able to un-break my heart again."
Rachel finally believes him leans in to kiss him telling him that she is sorry before her lips meet his. "I want this to work, Finn. I've never felt this way about anyone else before either."
"So, we're going to do this then?" Finn smiles as he wraps his arms around her.
"Yes we are going to do this, now come on we need to get downstairs before they start looking for us." She says with a kiss.
Finn walks into the kitchen, noticing that the conversation that he could hear as he was coming down the stairs stop. "Morning guys, I hope everyone slept well. Did you have to fight a lot of traffic to get up here this morning, Sam?" he asks as he shakes his hand.
"No we got the fuck out of LA before the crazies could get out on the road." Sam smirks as he looks over Finn's shoulder at Puck. He was just waiting on all of the fun to begin.
"I slept like a baby myself; the question is how did YOU sleep, Finn?" Puck asks as he starts patting Finn on the back.
"I slept better last night than I have in a very long time." Finn answers. He's looking around at his friends and notices that they all are looking at him oddly. "How about everyone else, how did you all sleep?"
Kurt, whose room is located next to Rachel's saw the opportunity to catch Finn states, "Well, I was woken up by Rachel screaming, I wonder if she had a nightmare or something."
"Oh no, I hopes she's okay." Santana says, playing along with Kurt's game.
"Is that what I heard last night? I thought there was a banshee running around on the beach!" Puck adds, smirking at the look on Finn's face "that little chick sure has a set of lungs on her."
"Morning everyone," Rachel says as she sashays into the kitchen, popping a grape in her mouth before continues, "So what are we all going to do today?"
"We all thought that it may be cool to do the tourist thing and hit the boardwalk!" Blaine answers excitedly. "Once your album drops and my show start broadcasting, it may be kinda hard to do that."
"Yeah, you're probably right; it could be fun!" Rachel says before looking around the room at her friends. "If things go as expected, I won't be able to hang out with my friends in public for awhile."
"And why the hell not?" Puck asks, because come on let's face it; it's really cool hanging with their new neighbors. "It'll take more than a bunch of idiots with cameras to keep us away from hanging with our friends."
"Yeah, I've already told Rach that last night!" Finn says before realizing what he has just said.
"You know, when we were outside last night talking on the balcony." Rachel stutters over her words.
"Sure, that is when you talk about it…" Puck says as he walks out of the kitchen, "Let's get ready then and head out."
"Hey Puck, let me holler at you for a sec, will ya?" Finn asks.
"Yeah sure, what'cha need?" he asks.
"What do you think about taking a trip to the east coast for a week or so?" Finn asks with his lopsided grin.
"Let me guess, we leave next Monday?" Puck smirks, "Yeah, I have already told Quinn that we would be going with them."
"Awesome." Finn says as he starts walking up the stairs to his room to get ready to hit the boardwalk.
They all find themselves at the beach in less than two hours later, "So what do ya'll want to do first?" Kitty asks as she grabs Sam's hand. The group is currently standing in front of a tattoo parlor.
"Why don't we get tattoos? I've wanted one for awhile but Brody forbade me, saying that only floozies got tattoos. Who's with me?" Rachel asks as she skips to the front of the parlor.
"Just don't let Sam pick it out!" Kurt says as everyone but Finn, Puck and Sam laughs.
"Well since none of us graduated from OSU, I don't think Sam could offer us any suggestions." Quinn laughs as she links arms with her cousin as they walk into the parlor.
An hour and a half later, the group walks out with the ladies all sporting the same bandage on their foot. "Okay, ladies we sat with y'all and held your hands while you got your matching tats, so what do you say we hit the bar now?" Puck asks as he grabs Quinn's hand.
"You're just jealous that you aren't a member of our sisterhood." Brittney says as she hugs Santana, "but I could use a couple of drinks."
"Me too, maybe we can find one where karaoke is going on!" Rachel squeals as she links arms with Finn.
"I'm not doing any fucking karaoke, but you guys can entertain us." Puck says with a wink as he stares down at Quinn.
"No seriously…we pick what you guys sing and you can pick what we sing!" Rachel slurs from her perch on Finn's lap.
Smirking at the guys, Finn agrees as he pulls Puck and Sam into a huddle, Kurt and Blaine have been on the stage all evening, currently singing "Secret Lovers" to one another. "Damn I'm glad we decided to walk down to the beach today" Puck slurs before exclaiming, "I've got the perfect song for the chicks to sing!" as he huddles in closer towards the guy so the girls couldn't hear.
"That's perfect!" Sam yells.
"Hell yeah, that will be hot!" Finn boasts at the same time.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me?" Santana asks once the guys reveal what song they have chosen.
"Oh, you are so going to pay for this!" Rachel boasts as she winks at Finn. The ladies gulp down their drinks before heading toward the stage. Once they get on the stage, the bar breaks out in cat calls and whistles.
"Hey guys, how are you all doing tonight? This song that we are about to sing are for those guys sitting over there!" Rachel says into the mic before they start to sing the song to a loud round of cheers.
All—Come on, come on/ Ohh, woow
Rachel—I feel like I've been locked up tight/ For a century of lonely nights/ Waiting for someone to release me/ You're lickin' your lips/ And blowing kisses my way/ But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away/ Baby, baby, baby (B—Baby, baby, baby…)
Quinn—OOOHHH, my body's sayin' let's go/ OOOHHH, but my heart is sayin' no
Kitty—If you wanna be with me/ Baby there's a price to pay/ I'm a genie in a bottle/ You gotta rub me the right way
Brittney—If you wanna be with me/ I can make your wish come true/ You gotta make a big impression (K—Oh yeah)/ Gotta like what you do
All—I'm a genie in a bottle baby/ Gotta rub me the right way honey/ I'm a genie in a bottle baby/Come come, come on and let me out
Santana—The music's fading and the lights down low/ Just one more dance and then we're good to go
Rachel—Waiting for someone who needs me/ Hormones racing at the speed of light/ But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Santana—Baby, Baby, Baby (Q—Baby, baby baby…)
Rachel—OOOHHH, my body's sayin' let's go
All—OOOHHH, but my heat is sayin' no (B—but my heart is sayin' no)
Rachel looks Finn square in his eyes as she sings the next two verses
If you wanna be with me/ Baby there's a price to pay/ I'm a genie in a bottle (All—I'm a genie in a bottle)/ You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me (All—Ohh)/ I can make your wish come true (Quinn—Your wish come true ohh)/ Just come and set me free baby and I will be with you
All—I'm a genie in a bottle baby/ Gotta rub me the right way honey/ (Rachel—If you wanna be with me); as she continues to look into Finn's eyes./ I'm a genie in a bottle baby/ Come come, come on and let me out
Rachel—ooohhh, my body's sayin' let's go
Kitty—ooohhh, but my heart is sayin' no
Rachel—If you wanna be with me/ I can make your dreams come true/ Just come set me free, baby and I'll be with you
Santana—If you wanna be with me/Baby there's a price to pay/ I'm a genie in a bottle (Kitty—In a bottle baby)/ You gotta rub me the right way
Rachel—If you wanna be with me (Quinn—If you wanna be with me)/ I can make your wish come true/ Just come and set me free baby and I'll be with you
All—I'm a genie in a bottle baby/ Come come, come on and let me out
The girls walk off stage to more cat calls and different guys telling them that they could rub them the right way as they made their way to the guys. Some blonde haired, blue eyed guy grabs Rachel by her arm just as she was about to take a drink from Finn. "Hey sexy, I'd be honored to rub you any way that you want!" Finn really not liking the way this dick has a grip on Rachel's arm walks over to him and tells him to get his hands the fuck off of his girl. Finn is now flanked on each side by Puck and Sam as he pulls Rachel in his arms. Finn and the douche are in the middle of a staring contest when Rachel looks up at Finn and tells him to come on back to the table, ensuring him that she definitely isn't interested in this guy.
After finally making their way back to the table, Rachel sits on Finn's lap and leans over into his ear and whispers, "You are the only person who I want to rub me anyway," as she pulls his earlobe in between her teeth. "Are you guys ready to entertain us now?"
With a waggle of his eyebrows, Finn offers to take her back to the house to entertain her. Rachel laughs and promises him later, but only after the guys performs the song that the girls have picked for them to sing.
"Are we really gonna fucking sing this stupid song?" Puck seethes at Finn. Finn reminds Puck that they did make a bet with the girls, and they lived up to it so they had to also.
"Oh boys, we expect the whole boy band experience with this song!" Quinn says as she and the other ladies starts walking toward the front of the stage.
"Oh fuck, what have we gotten ourselves into?" Sam asks as he steps up on the stage beside Finn, Puck and Blaine.
"Okay, now it's our time to pay off our bet; ladies this is for you!" Finn says into the mic as he looks into Rachel's eyes.
Finn—The right stuff
Puck—The right stuff
Finn—First time was a great time/ Second time was a blast/ Third time I fell in love/ Now I hope it lasts/ I can see it in your walk/ Tell 'em when you talk/ See it in everything you do/ Even in your thoughts
Puck—You got the right stuff, baby/ Love the way you turn me on/ You got the right stuff, baby/ You're the reason why I sing this song
Sam—All that I needed was you/ Oh girl, you're so righ/ Said all that I wanted was you/ You made all of my dreams come true
All—Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Finn—Your first kiss was a sweet kiss/ Second kiss had a twist/ Third and your fourth kiss/ I don't want to miss/ I can see it in your walk/ Tell 'em when you talk/ See it in everything you do/ Even in your thoughts
Blaine—You got the right stuff, baby/Love the way you turn me on/ You got the right stuff, baby/ You're the reason why I sing this song
Finn—All that I needed was you/Oh, girl, you're so right/ Said all that I wanted was you/ You made all…Every one of my dreams come true
All—Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Puck—The right stuff, girl yeah baby, yeah/ You know you got the right stuff/And girl, yeah, Baby/ You know, you know you got it, girl
Finn—In my life you're so right/ You made all…you know what you did
Finn and Puck walks off stage wrapping their arms around Rachel and Quinn as Sam and Blaine finishes the chorus.
"All that I have to say is that you girls better be glad that we like you!" Puck says as he pulls Quinn back into his lap once they make it back to the table.
"You know it's because you love us, Puck!" Rachel smirks as she feels Finn's arms wrap around her waist and pulls her closer into her body.
Finn leans down and whispers into Rachel's ear, "Girl you know its true." before he places a tender kiss at that special place under her ear that he found last night.
So I decided instead of having the whole "are you two together or not" debate that Finn and Rachel could just show the others that they were together with their actions. There will be a tiny time jump, in the next chapter they will be heading to the east coast… and to another group of problems. I so can see Finn as Jordan and Puck as Donnie. Hope that you enjoyed this chapter…until next time read and review and let me know what you think. Much love, Melanie
