Chapter Three

"Hello?" Rachel answers Finn's phone giggling.

She can her Puck laughing on the other end, "What up baby? Your still with Finn, I see. San was worried he had kicked your ass out."

"Ha Ha." Rachel mocked, "What are you guys doing? Did you just wake up?"

"No, we've been going at it since 3 AM, we haven't slept yet." Puck states in his cocky voice. "Want to go get breakfast before we hit the hay?"

Rachel covers the speaker of the phone, "Breakfast with Puck and San?"

Finn nods and stands up to get ready, boxers still on, they hadn't yet gotten around to that part of the infidelity. Rachel was wrapped in a thin black sheet, sprawled out on the king bed. Made for a dozen people and Finn and Rachel were taking only a fourth of it throughout the night and morning. "Okay, we'll meet you. Where do you want to go?"

"That egg place, Finn knows the one."

"An egg place?" Rachel asked in disgust.

"Easy over." Finn answered from the bathroom.

"Okay, he knows what you're talking about, see you in…" She didn't know how long, or how far it was.

"Probably a half hour." Puck said and she heard the click of the phone hanging up. She got herself up and threw a towel that she found in the hope chest by Finn's bed around her. When she walked into the bathroom, bag in hand she found Finn brushing his teeth and his hair was a mess.

She giggled a little and smoothed the back of his hair down. She sat on the closed toilet and looked through her bag for something to wear. She settled on the jeans from last night and a white lacy casual top that Santana had shot down when she tried it on before the concert. She found a white head band to match and ran a brush through her hair. After looking in the mirror she decided it was useless and put her hair into a ponytail. Finn saw her exposed neck and his mouth went straight for her collar bone. "Whoa there." Rachel stopped him, "We're going to breakfast remember?" She giggled.

"Your neck looks lonely." Finn pouted and she playfully shoved him away.

"I'm going to brush my teeth and you should go get my phone. I want to call Kurt."

"Kurt?" Finn backed away at the mention of his step-brother that he had never actually met. "Why?"

"Because Kurt is part of every part of my life and I need to update him on my new status and an adulteress." Rachel nodded and Finn shook his head in confusion and grabbed out her phone. He turned it back on and saw no new texts from Jesse. He thought for a moment, and after a minute he decided it was the right thing to do. He cleared her texts, sent and inbox and put it in his pocket before walking into the bathroom.

Rachel was rinsing out her mouth and reached for the phone and Finn handed it out. "You know, I don't know what an adulteress is, but it sounds hot." Finn grinned and wrapped his arms around her.

Rachel shoved him off, "Go get dressed. I'm going to call Kurt, I'll be out in 10."

Finn walked into the closet and grabbed a black V-neck and some jeans to throw on. He added socks and converse while he heard Rachel screech from the bathroom.

"…you're aware that nothing about this is okay, right?"

"Then why does it feel so right?" Rachel asked Kurt in frustration.

"Not only are you cheating on a man that has given you a hell of a lot, you're doing it with a guy that comes home to see his mom barely once a year. That is only if she is lucky. I have literally never met the dude and our parents have been married for 3 years. He didn't even show at the wedding."

"Maybe he had a show. He has a career you know?" Rachel defends the guy who was a stranger to her until about 12 hours ago.

"Don't be a groupie, okay? You haven't slept with him, have you?"

"No, I haven't." She spits out honestly.

"I have to go, we'll talk later."

"Don't say anything to Jesse, kapeesh?"

"Whatever Diva. I love you. Be good, you hear me?"

Rachel sighs, "I hear you, I love you too."

Rachel opens the door and curses how close Kurt and Jesse had gotten, also how stupid she was being. Was Kurt right, was she throwing her everything away for a guy who won't even go home to see his mom?

"Hey babe." Finn grinned, "You ready?"

Rachel nodded awkwardly and they walked out of the apartment, "Something wrong?" Finn put his hand to her soft cheek and looked into her sad eyes.

Rachel shook her head, "I'm just, I'm worried." She admits after a moment.

Finn sighs, "About Jesse?"

Rachel cringes internally after hearing his name on Finn's lips. The lips she had been kissing for the last 8 or so hours. "About me, actually." Rachel admits, wanting to slap herself for being so selfish.

Finn grabbed her hand and the headed to the parking garage. His old beat up truck was there, and Rachel grinned at its' appearance, it looked rugged. Kinda like Finn looked. "Tell me, babe. What is wrong?" Finn asks again. Rachel reaches her hand up to Finn's face and feels his skin under her thumb.

"You've got a five o'clock shadow brewing." She mentions softly.

Finn laughs, "I didn't have time to shave, I got kicked out of my bathroom." He teased and opened her door.

"I like it, you should grow it out." She requests and Finn nods in agreement before shutting her door for her. When he gets in the cab himself he reaches out his arm for Rachel to slid to the middle seat and he puts his arm around her, "Thanks." She whispers against his chest.

"I wish you'd tell me what was wrong, Rach." Finn almost pouted as they drove.

She nodded slowly, "We can talk about it after breakfast." Rachel sighed and leaned into Finn's chest, taking in his scent. Her guilt level was escalating with each moment, she closed her eyes and tried not to think of Kurts words. But they were there, and heavy.

Rachel grabbed her phone out of her pocket to check the texts from last night, "Wait, where did my whole inbox go?" Rachel said looking at her phone in confusion.

Finn shook his head, "Hey, I thought we had a deal." He breathed awkwardly. "You get my phone, I get yours." He grabbed her phone from her and handed his own back to her.

Rachel raised her eyebrow, "Did you delete my inbox?"

"Not on purpose." Finn lies through his teeth, "I was trying to check the millions of texts in your phone for you, and I guess I pressed something weird." Finn shrugged and hoped Rachel couldn't see right through him.

Rachel did in fact see straight through his lie but decided against saying anything, it uncovered a new emotion. Was Finn Jealous? If he was, that was not only sweet but amazing. She had never felt this before, what was it? Protected? "That's okay." Rachel grinned up at him, "Are we almost there?" Rachel looked out the window and watched the cars that surrounded their car.

"About two more minutes."

Once they get there Finn reaches down to bring her face up to his and touches her lips lightly, "Let's just have fun, Rach." He whispered against her lips and she let the rest melt away and kissed him back.

As they made their way to the table the Puck and Santana were already seated at, looking like a couple of hungover hookers, "You kiddin' me Berry." Santana groaned, "What took you so long?"

Puck grinned and fist-bumped Finn, "You fucked a married woman, dude?" Puck seemed ecstatic, "That's hot!"

"I didn't fuck a married chick." Finn argued.

Santana breathed out, "Shit, Rach, you didn't tell him?" Santana covered her mouth as if something had fallen out of it.

"No!" Rachel yelled, "We didn't sleep together."

Puck put his arm around Santana and pulled her into him, "What did you do all night? Talk about your feelings?" He mocked, "'Cause San-Tan and I screwed in every possible position." He looked over at the feisty latina, "I forgot how much I missed you."

Finn rolled his eyes as the waitress came over, "I got you boys your usual coming up. What do you ladies want?"

"Anything greasy!" Santana said grabbing her head.

Rachel laughed, "Anything vegan."

"Coming right up."

After twenty minutes of Finn and Rachel cringing as they listened to Puck and Santana talk of their escapades, the waitress finally brought their order and a fresh batch of coffee.

"You don't mind taking Rachel in for the next two nights?" Puck requests as he digs into his omelet.

Finn grins, "I would love it."

Santana rolls her eyes, "Holy shit, has frakengeek got a boy-crush on Berry?"

Puck looked at Rachel who was sniffing her oatmeal, she wasn't convinced it was vegan, "Little Rasp-Berry has got a thing for him too."

Rachel begrudgingly took a bite of her oatmeal and willed herself to believe it was made with soymilk before looking up at Finn, who seemed to have a silly grin on his face, "Listen, all of you. It's no one's business who I am sleeping with or not, who I have a crush on or not, nor my marital status."

"Damn, does she always talk like that?"

Finn shakes his head, "Only when a douchebag pisses her off." He notes before pouring hot sauce all over his entire meal, making Puck cringe and Santana lift an eyebrow.

"You like it hot, Hudson?"

Rachel felt a twinge of jealousy as she heard Santana speak to Finn in her seductive voice and couldn't stop herself from speaking up, "Hey, Hey!" She pointed a finger at Santana and then put her hand down awkwardly, realizing it wasn't her place to scold anyone for seducing Finn.

Santana grin mischievously, "Well, that is a side I've never seen of you Berry. Jealous much?"

Rachel hid into her bowl and missed the goofy grin that crossed Finn's face.

After breakfast Santana and Puck said they'd go get some sleep and call Rachel and Finn later and Santana whacked Rachel's butt and wished her good luck, she also winked and humped the air and Rachel and Finn walked away, but Rachel tried to ignore that. How could Santana be so okay with her adultery? How could she herself be so okay with it?

When Rachel and Finn made their way into his apartment she quickly brushed her teeth and let her hair down, she decided to reapply her make up as well, "Finn?" She called and suddenly he was in the bathroom with her, she giggled, "Can I maybe," She pointed to the shower, "shower real quick?"

"Only if I can join you?" He requested and his lips became greedy, attacking her mouth with his, she pushed back on him.

"I just want to rinse off my body of all the concert and sweat." She told him, "Then we can go back to bed."

He raised his eyebrow and sucked in his cheeks a little, "Is this going back to bed a sleeping thing, or a different thing."

Rachel giggled, "It's not a sleeping thing." She leaned up to kiss him and he obliged. She turned on the shower and scooted Finn out of the room. She stripped her clothes and let the water fall over her back, relaxing her. She tried to keep Jesse and his gazillion text from her mind, she tried to keep what she was doing to him from her mind. Unfortunately the only thing that did keep him off her mind was being in Finn's arms. She jumped out of the shower, draped a towel over herself and touched up her make-up before returning to his bedroom.

She was still in just a towel and not really all that dry when Finn pulled her onto the bed and climbed on top of her, he growled her name and she grinned stupidly at him. Everything about him was perfect, his lope-sided grin, his big strong arms, his scent. He smelled like a mix between clean and musky.

His lips met hers and sent her into a daze for a moment before hearing his phone go off from the bathroom, "Shit!" He growled, "Will you get that? It could be my agent." Finn frowned and Rachel slipped out from under him and grabbed his phone, a blocked number, that is weird.

"Hello? Finn Hudson's phone."

"and who the hell are you?" a woman's voice shrieked on the other end.

"I don't see why that is any of your business." Rachel countered as Finn pulled her back into bed with him and she giggled a bit.

"Uh, excuse me. It does. Tell Finn his girlfriend is on the line."

"Excuse me? Who?" Rachel put her hand to Finn's mouth to stop him from kissing her.

"His girlfriend. Quinn."

Rachel knew that name and that voice, she had gone to school with her, Rachel had gotten maliciously teased by her. Rachel wanted to throw a brick at her.

"He's currently busy, I will tell him to call you when he is finished." Rachel growled and hung up quickly.

Finn smirked against Rachel's neck, "And who was that? I'm hoping you didn't treat my agent that way."

"Unless your agent is a blonde bitch who calls herself your girlfriend, we should be okay." Rachel huffed and crossed her arms in front of her.

Finn shook his head, "I'm lost. First off, I don't have a girlfriend. Secondly, you were on the phone, how do you know her hair color."

"It was Quinn. Quinn Fabray." Rachel shouted at Finn and he pulled her closer but she kept her arms crossed.

"I am not with Quinn anymore, Rach." He assured her, "She is just- She hasn't really gotten over me, I guess."

"How long have you been broken up?"

"Over a year." Finn scoffed, "Yeah, I know, it's crazy."

"Well she seemed very sure of your relationship." Rachel frowned and turned towards him, opening her arms to put them around his neck.

"And I'm sure Jesse would too, but look where you are." Finn said confidently, "You're in my arms, not his."

Rachel crabbed up and Finn's hand massaged a knot in Rachel's back for a moment until she opened herself back up again. "Stop talking about Jesse." She requested.

"I don't want to hear another word about Quinn." Finn rebutted.

Rachel nodded and kissed him softly, "Whatever you want."

"I want you."

"I want you back." Rachel agreed.
