A/N: Thanks again for the reviews, favourites and alerts. Pretty cool guys the fight is definitely on just thinking of who has more to gain and who had more to lose? Prince charming or a platform for better things? Hrmm Shall we throw some spanner into the perfection of what IS Jesse and Rachel? Roads aren't often travelled easy are they? Life's, so complicated! Though we banger on and go go go right? The world doesn't stop spinning just because we wish it too.
BTW: Rachel will refer to Matthew/Mattie as Dad and Stanley/Stan as Daddy.
Disclaimer: I do not own glee. But the story is somewhat mine.
A Night of Sabrina-ish
The night was so beautiful. Her father had recreated a fantasy world of perfection. Just like a scene from one of her favourite movies of all time, Sabrina. It probably WAS based on that specific scene from Sabrina, knowing their love of old films just as she did. Her fathers had taken her and Jesse shopping straight after school. Surprising them both with a fun filled afternoon figuring out what suited them both for the occasion. Even Jesse had to admit how much fun he had had.
They were taken away in separate directions, because fact was: there just wasn't enough time to go clothes shopping and also arrive in time to organise and make sure everything was laid out right for their guests. Her fathers were definitely going all out this time. Jesse had gone with her dad, while she gladly followed her daddy.
Rachel ended up sporting a lovely pink chiffon dress with matching bag, heels, and jewellery to go with it. Her hair done in the same hair style as Sabrina's had been. Mind you the Audrey Hepburn version. Her father leaves no stone unturned with this evening. It must definitely be a very important one, the effort her fathers were putting in to it.
Jesse was dressed in his signature black look. He was looking mighty suave in his 'Super Poly Rayon Blend' suit with silk lining, obviously chosen by her dad (his kind of taste in wear) by the sounds of things. Smart looking cufflinks, a bow tie and shiny black shoes to match. Jesse had been so enthralled by it all; he just followed and tried on which ever suit's Matthew had flung at him.
It was definitely going to be an interesting night in deed.
"Thanks soooo much for doing this with me Jesse!" She smiled up at him, while they dance in the gazebo turned dancing room. Fairy lights lit the roof and the path that let back to the porch and into the house. She felt like Sabrina dancing with David, minus the seduction routine? A kiss here and there, well half of it anyway. It was so breath taking in deed.
She was fitted perfectly into her beautiful pink chiffon dress that sat just above her knees, matching shoes, and hair done just like Sabrina. She had to admit that she looked gorgeous as hell. Just the look her father's had wanted for such a dapper occasion.
He looked suave in the suit Matthew and Stanley had bought especially for him. No one had ever gone out of their way to pay that much attention to him (well besides when he was performing with Vocal Adrenaline that is) that it truly touched him how they included him in every aspect of their lives. Also such a very important occasion he guessed, because of all the shimmy-shimmy that was all around him.
"You don't have to thank me Rach. It's I who should be thanking you and your father's for including me in such a splendour occasion." He said with such unmistakable honour in his voice. He twirled her around and bent her back, swayed and twirled once again. There was no doubt how well they just meshed together in every way possible.
Her father's looked on in pride. Knowing full well everyone else had the same thought's running through their minds as well.
"My father wants us to perform a duet by the piano before we head off, are you up for it?" she said in embarrassment, cheeks turning pink, rising from the base of her neck and ending at her cheeks.
"Yes your dad asked me already this afternoon while we were trying on suits. How could I say no to such a request, I was having such a ball being spoilt rotten? I think your dad enjoyed it as much as I did" he chuckled lightly. Her father's always saw Jesse as their son, so it was such a blessing when he re-entered her life again and resumed his rightful role as her boyfriend.
"Really?" she said in disbelief, and they laughed at her father's lack of grace. "So what song shall we sing? Might as well give them a dazzler huh?" she smirked at him, a mannerism obviously learnt from him.
"Knock them off their heels? Though I think the champagne going around has a lot to do with that" he mocked slyly and kissed her lips a few times, before twirling her again and again around the dance floor.
(Neighbour's house)
A pair of eyes looked on from an upstairs window. He wasn't a stalker or anything. It wasn't like he was there for the sole purpose of spying on them. Come on, he had better things to do than that right? He didn't race over there, when he found out from Kurt that Rachel's father was holding a big shindig at their place tonight, and that Jesse was invited as well.
He didn't reschedule his date with Quinn for later. She had 'things' to do anyway, didn't she? She said she did to him, when he had asked/told her. She didn't question that her boyfriend was going to spend three whole hours in Rachel's neighbour's balcony, gazing down at them. No, he wouldn't purposely do that now would he?
He was hanging out with what's his name? Dylan, Damon? Dasher! That's his name. Dasher Lincoln or was it Lincoln Dasher. Gosh he was hopeless! And no! He didn't acquire the friendship with the guy JUST to know things about Rachel that only a neighbour would know right? That's going on stalking and all that crap. And he WASN'T into all that 'crap', right?
His phone beeped with a messaged. Quinn flashed on his screen.
'Hi Finn, you almost done?' the message read. 'Nope' he wanted to reply.
'Almost Quinn see you soon?' he texts back easily, knowing exactly how to talk to her.
'Okay. Love you Finn! See you soon XO' she sends back. 'Good. No more distractions' he huffs at his phone.
'See you soon Quinn. Muah! ' he texts back, 'that should make her happy for a while longer'.
Rachel POV
Applause rang out as they finished their song. Which was also the perfect opportunity to say their thanks and ask for their leave without being impolite, everyone had given them their blessings, and had offered their services if they ever needed any help. They politely said their 'thank you' again as they went from table to table, and eventually made their way up the stairs to get changed to their day clothes.
'On our way!' she texts Kurt and Mercedes, who were just finishing up with dinner at breadstix with Sam, Artie and Brittany. Blaine had to spend his night with his family, which he had regretted so badly.
'Great to hear! We want to know all about your evening!' Kurt texted back with glee.
'Of course we will! See you soon' she texted back, like she could contain such an event to her closest friend!
'Oh by the way we bumped into Artie and Brittany at Breadstix. And we picked up Sam at his motel room for a night off from babysitting. His mum was home anyway, so she was glad to send him on his way' Mercedes text back.
'Good stuff! The more the merrier! See you soon' she thought with such happiness, her night could only get better.
Rachel chose skinny jeans, a simple shirt, and a jacket just in case it got cooler during the night. Things definitely couldn't get any better! She was so happy. She had the perfect night spent reprising the role of Sabrina, dancing with her epically perfect boyfriend to a scene right out of the said movie!
Like 'OMG' she thought to herself excitedly, feeling that everything that had just happened in the last three hours to be her vivid imagination and she would wake from her day dream at any minute. She laughed at herself, and felt arms come around her, kissing her neck, and she felt shivers go up and down her back.
"Jesse…" she said as she realised who was touching her.
Jesse POV
As much as he had had fun tonight, being dressed up so suave and being cast as the lead male role in the Berry shindig, with his lovely and breath taking girlfriend, he was also happy to be in his comfortable black jeans, shirt and jacket. He breathed in and out, looking forward to the different location for Friday night's movie night. For a change they were to see an actual movie that was playing at the theatres, something he hadn't done in a while, so he was rather excited.
It was also nice to be enveloped and accepted by her closest friends from glee club. He never though such a possibility would actually happen. They had hated him so much, especially since what he had done to Rachel. He cringed at the debacle he had put her through. Never again, he promised to himself and to her.
He stepped out of her father's bedroom, and knocked at her door. "Rach you ready?" he asked excitedly, wishing she would hurry up so he could bring her to him and kiss her senseless.
What he heard surprised him. He heard her same his name and so he assumed that was her answer to his question. But apparently not. Instead he sees that bastards arms around her, kissing her neck, snaking his arms up and down her, like HE usually did. Seeing her eyes closed, a shiver running down her back, opening her eyes, turning around and slapping the figure behind her as she see who it is in the mirror.
"What do you think you are…?" she says before Jesse yanks the intruder away from her, and slams him against her dresser draws. He aims a blow to his chin, another to his gut and roars at him to 'get the hell out of here' before he 'really does some damage' to him. They watch as the intruder runs out of her room, not before punching Jesse squarely in his right eye.
Rachel POV
She was shocked with Finn's appearance in her bedroom. How did he even know what was taking place tonight, and where she would be? It sent shivers up her spin to know the answer.
"OMG Jesse, are you okay?" Rachel asks him worriedly, seeing him black out for a few seconds. 'That bastard!' he thinks to himself. Fumes would have been omitting from his ears had this been a cartoon and not real life. 'How low could he really be?' he shudder with the thought, and take Rachel into his arms.
"More importantly Rach, how are you doing?" she couldn't believe her ears. He was a gentlemen alright. Always thinking of her first before him, no matter what the situation entailed. Even in his injured state, he still cared so much about her. He finds her lips kissing his eyes and his cheeks, traveling all over his face, and finally ending at his lips, which she takes hungrily.
Finn POV
'Did he just turn into one of THOSE guys that stalk girls?' he wondered about his actions as he drove home to fix and make himself presentable for his date with his girlfriend. 'Wow he was becoming the hotter version of that Jewfro that always lapped after Rachel. He was NOT THAT guy! He refused to be THAT guy. He had to somehow redeem himself.
'OMG I'm sooo sorry Rach. Let me make it up to you. I'll back off and give you and Jesse the respect you need' he hoped that he hadn't ruin what friendship they had left. She could NOT toss him out of her life. That was not an option he liked at all. He had to tread lightly from now on.
'Just don't do it again Finn, or expect our friendship to be non-existent' she texted back unhappily.
'When did it become this bad?' He wondered to himself as he ran up the stairs to his room and made himself respectable for Quinn's approval.
A/N 2: wow! lol Finn has officially hit stalker-ish level. I DID NOT expect that! So I AM as shocked as you all are. I didn't mean for him to be THAT bad, but that is where the story's direction ended up. But like I said 'wow' roflmao. Tell me if you'd like me to write another version :P and make Finn his usual normal self. ANY WHO Rose over and out :D:D:D
