Chapter 16: Perfect Friday Night

It was the middle of June. Sam and Puck finally knew what happened between Finn, Rachel, and Lauren. They found out everything from Rachel returning to meeting Lauren. They were aware that Rachel would be staying in Lima, Ohio for a while.

Finn also talked to the guys into forgiving Rachel about her past and wanting to take her out to dinner. He didn't want to take her to Breadstixs. He wanted something unique. He found a place by the boardwalk that still does drive-in movies. He ordered Chinese since he knew how much Rachel loved sushi. They ate on top of the car with blankets wrapped around them.

"This is really romantic, Finn." Rachel says smiling.

"I wanted to do this for you.' Finn responded. "I can't believe we still have drive-in movies."

"I know! How crazy is that!" Rachel giggles. "They're showing John Hughes movies."

"One of my favorites."

"Did you want a movie more romantic?"

"It matters if you're okay with the movie."

"You're sweet."

"I try." Finn winks at her, making Rachel blush. "We have whine and chocolate covered strawberries."

"Oooh! That sounds delicious!"

"Lauren picked out the chocolate and Puck picked out the whine." Finn says laughing. Rachel laughed with him. "Of course he would." She said shaking her head. "Lauren is so sweet. I loved spending these four days with her. Thank you, Finn." She thanks Finn. She finishes her sushi.

"She really loves you, Rachel."

"I know. And I love her so much."

"I want the best for her in the future. I want her to have everything."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean Rachel is that I want her to have a mom and dad who are together.."

"You mean you and me?"

"Yes." Finn says staring at Rachel's brown eyes.

"I'd like that." Rachel smiles. Finn notices Rachel's been staring at the chocolate. He opens the box and takes one.

He feeds her unexpectedly. "Finn! This is so good!'

He laughs. "I'm glad you like them!"

"Oh my gosh! I can't remember the last time I had these."

"Take another one." Finn offers but Rachel refuses. "I can't.." Rachel argued. She takes one out of the box as well. "But you can have one." She says feeding Finn a strawberry.

"You're so right. These are freaking amazing." They both laugh together. Several minutes later, they wash it down with wine.

"This is one of the best Friday Nights I've had so far." Rachel tells Finn. Finn sees Rachel yawning. He moves closer to her but she hesitated to rest her head on his shoulder. "No, it's okay."

"I don't think so..."

"Rachel, stop. You can rest on my shoulder."

"Are you sure?"

"Rachel.."

"Okay." Rachel nods. She finally rests her head on his shoulder. He makes her feel comfortable. They remain seated on top of Finn's car, throughout the movie The Breakfast Club. "I love you, Finn." Rachel admits truthfully for the very first time after so long.

Finn couldn't find the words to say. All he did was smile at her.

"I wish the night didn't have to end." Rachel says. Finn was driving her back home.

"What do you mean?"

"It was a perfect night. Just you and I. Now I have to go back home.."

"Do you not want to go back home?"

"Not to an empty house. My fathers are staying with a close family friend this weekend."

It was silent between them. No music. No noise. Just silence. No one talked until Finn parked in front of Rachel's house. "I guess the night's over."

"It doesn't have to be." Finn shrugs his shoulders in response. "I can stay over at your house to keep you company."

"You really want too?"

"Yeah. A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be alone on a Friday night."

"Well, I'm used to it. Remember, high school before we started dating?" Rachel reminds Finn by recalling how horrible high school used to be before her and Finn first started dating.

Finn shook his head. "This isn't high school." He says leaning over to kiss Rachel. "Finn.." She didn't expect being kissed by Finn. "What was that?"

"A kiss." Finn winks at her. "After all, it's not a date unless we kiss."

"I just thought you wouldn't kiss me at all after my kiss in the rain.."

"You're beautiful." Finn tells her changing the subject. "Let's get you inside." He says. He gets out of the car to open the passenger door for Rachel.

"You're quite handsome yourself. And a gentlemen. Thank you." Rachel returns the favor and kisses him back.

"Now it's an official date." Rachel tells Finn. He wraps his arms around Rachel as she opens the door to her home. "Be my guest. Make yourself a home." Finn gets himself comfortable in the couch. "Here's the remote. Do you mind if I leave you here so I can take a shower?"

"It's not a problem." Finn responded.

"Okay. I'll be back." Rachel made her way to her room to grab clothes and to take a shower. She hasn't had Finn in her home in so long that it felt nice to have him there. She knew he could entertain himself by watching NFL channel or comedy shows.

She started to hum Don't Rain on My Parade in the shower. When she was done, she blow dries her hair, and has her curls down. She threw on silky light purple lingerie and sprayed her vanilla scent perfume. She also brushed her teeth as well, since she didn't want to scare Finn away with bad breath.

She came back down with Finn who was lying on the couch sleeping. She couldn't help but laugh at Finn since after all he had his mouth opened. She grabs her phone to take a sneaky photo which had her camera flash on. This woke up Finn. "Let me guess, I had my mouth opened.."

"You look cute." Rachel laughed. She shows him the picture on her phone.

"Delete that. NOW!"

"No!" Rachel cried. "I'm keeping it." Finn sighs. He decides it isn't worth arguing with. "You look incredible tonight." He says noticing her purple lingerie with no makeup on. She makes him move so she can have room on the couch. "Now this is how we end a perfect Friday night. You and I on a couch."

"Can't argue with you there." Finn says kissing her. Rachel kisses him back. She didn't know what made her, but she took off her lingerie and threw it on the floor. She only had her floral bra on. "Rach...what are you-" Finn asked.

But Rachel stopped him from talking and they ended the night kissing each other passionately and seductively.

AU: So here's an update! Sorry if I made some of you feel a little uncomfortable but I tried to write something I'm not good at ;) Oh and also for Lauren's absence, I will write her in the next chapter.
