I was having a debate whether to write this or my new story Chances but I decided this chapter has been planned longer so I went with this! R&R please my lovelies!
Rachel opened her eyes, and looked around the room. She rolled over in her bed and came face to face with Jesse.
Oh god. She thought. I've slept with Jesse St James.
Rachel got out of bed, but stumbled. She hit the cabinet beside her bed, nearly knocking the lamp off. She caught it, but it didn't stop the loud clunk from waking up the boy lying in her bed.
Jesse stirred, and woke up to find Rachel staring at him with wide eyes, like a rabbit caught in the headlights. He gave her a smile, causing Rachel's heart to flip out. He looked so good when he'd just woken up.
"Good morning Rachel." He said, stifling a yawn as he sat up. "Did you have fun last night?" He said with a smirk.
Rachel moved to sit back down on the bed, drawing her sweat pant clad knees up to her chest.
"I- I can't remember." She told him, looking at him with a panicked expression. "I can't believe it. Finn's going to kill me when he found out I slept with you. Oh how could I have let this happen!" She threw her hands up in the air in a dramatic way.
Jesse just laughed, running a hand through his hair. Rachel glared at him.
"How can you laugh Jesse! This is serious. I bet I've ruined it with Finn, meaning the glee club will be impacted upon." She began to ramble. "Not to mention the fact that I can't remember anything- so much for my first time being memorable!" Jesse just continued to laugh. "What is so funny!" Rachel almost yelled at him.
"You think we did it, don't you." Jesse said, still chuckling.
"Well, yes!" Rachel replied, but then realised what he'd said. "Wait… do you mean we didn't…." She asked.
"No, we didn't have sex Rachel." Jesse finished her sentence for her.
"Are you sure?" Rachel frowned, still trying to remember.
Jesse nodded. "Yes. Gees, how much did you drink? We slept together, but in the actual sleep sleeping together way. All we did was sleep." He reassured her. "Well, after a lot of making out…"
Rachel began to panic again. She'd still cheated on Finn, she'd still made out with the enemy. With the guy who'd broken her heart. And then she'd slept in his arms.
"Rachel…." Jesse said, sensing what was going on in Rachel's mind. "Rachel, breathe." Rachel looked up at him.
"I can't, this is bad Jesse." She told him.
"It's not that bad. And do you have any food? I'm hungry…" Jesse asked.
"Food? How can you think of food at a time like this!" Rachel said incredulously.
Jesse just shrugged, still not seeing the problem.
"I still slept in your arms! I still cheated on Finn! I made out with another guy, and I then spent the night with him in my bed! Who cares if all we did was sleep!" Rachel began. "This is a disaster, it's awful! Finn will hate me, the club will be destroye-"
Rachel was cut off when a glass of water was thrown at her face. She had always kept one by her bed at night, in case she got thirsty or sad, and Jesse had thrown it over her. She sat there, blinking in shock. Jesse just chuckled, but she snapped her head up to glare at him.
"You did not just throw a glass of water over me!" Rachel exclaimed, pushing her wet hair behind her ears.
"I did actually." Jesse replied, trying not to laugh too hard.
"Why?" Rachel asked, a steely tone to her voice.
"Well, it shut you up, didn't it." Jesse smirked.
"My rambling does not call for you to throw water over me!" Rachel huffed, turning away, her hair spiralling around her.
Jesse reached over and grabbed her shoulder, pulling her back round. He brushed the water off her cheek, moving her hair away from her face. He looked into her eyes as her worked.
"I don't know why you're panicking." Jesse told her, leaning closer. "It's not like we did anything serious…. Yet." He leaned in, kissing her softly, the mood changing instantly.
"Jesse." Rachel began to protest, moaning as the good in her mind thought the lust, but Jesse shushed her, and took her damp hand in his.
He continued to kiss her, slowly leaning her down onto the bed. She went with him, devouring him hungrily, all thoughts of protesting having flown from her mind.
They might not have gone the whole way before, but they did this time.
Rachel lay in Jesse's arms, comfortable and content. But then she sighed.
"What?" Jesse asked, pecking her temple.
"I have no self control, do I? And now I have actually slept with you. Meaning I have completely cheated on Finn." She told him, guilt layering her voice. "I'm screwed." She said with a whimper.
Jesse pulled her closer, and whispered into her ear.
"We don't have to tell anyone." He told her. "We can keep it a secret. No one needs to know."
"But I'm not a very good liar and I get guilty really easily." Rachel replied, twisting in his arms. "And I can't keep any kind of deceit up for a very long time."
"Well, you'd have too if you still want to be with Finn." Jesse said bitterly. Rachel reached out to touch his face.
"But I want to be with you too Jesse." She told him quietly.
"Then we'll have to keep quiet about everything." Jesse shrugged slightly.
"What, like an affair?" Rachel said sceptically. "I'm not that kind of person Jesse."
"Well, I can't see you breaking up with Finn, and if you want me too, it's the only way." He answered her. She couldn't deny his argument made a lot of sense.
"Fine." Rachel agreed eventually. "But this could seriously damage my reputation, so nobody must know about this. Not even your dog or anyone." She told him seriously.
"I don't have a dog." Jesse frowned in confusion.
"Good." Rachel said, reaching up to peck his lips. "Means you can't tell him."
Jesse leaned down to kiss her, but she pulled away. He put on a puppy-eyed look, and she just laughed, getting up and taking his hand.
"Come on, you wanted food didn't you?" She asked, walking to her door.
Jesse nodded, grinning, and followed her downstairs. He'd follow her anywhere.
Another short chapter, sorry… Personally I think that chapter was a bit weak, sorry. Tell me what you think anyway! xx
