A/N: I know it's been a while since I've updated. I'm sorry, but here is chapter 3.
Enjoy.
And as always, REVIEWS = LOVE! (they really do!)
When Kurt and I exited the bathroom and went back into the living room we found Finn kissing her.
"Gross guys." Kurt teased.
"Sorry Kurtsy." Evianna said with smile as she pulled away from Finn. "It's all Finn's fault."
"Stop lying!" Finn laughed as he pulled her into his lap. "Don't believe this one. She's the worst kind of liar. She tells the truth." she giggled as he tickled her. It took everything I had not to slap her, but that wasn't apart of the plan. I had to play it cool.
"Here you go Rachel." a little voice said from below me. I looked down and I saw Drizzle holding a slice of chocolate cake out to me. "Uncle Blaine let me cut this one myself."
"Aww thank you." I said kneeling down and taking the cake from her. "I'll save it for after dinner ok."
"Ok." she said hugging me tightly. She released me and ran back to the kitchen.
"Drizzy really likes you." Finn said as I took a seat in the living room.
"That's good. She's really sweet." I said with a small smile. "Are you guys going to stay for Thanksgiving?" I asked.
"Well I am." Finn answered. "Evi and Drizzy are going back to Lima for a few days but they should be back on the actual day."
"Oh why is that?" I asked.
"My parents want to see Sammy for the holiday. They understand how important Kurt is to Finn so that's the compromise we came up with." Evianna answered.
"It's all very grown up isn't?" Blaine said joining us in the living room. "Kurt and I can't even compromise on whether or not to serve turkey or whether we should jump head first into the turducken craze."
"If we're voting I vote turkey." Evianna said raising her hand. "Turducken is not cool Blaine. Not cool."
"Everyone's eating it." Blaine said.
"And that doesn't strike you as weird?" she asked. She and Blaine continued to debate the pros and cons of turducken when Finn arose from the couch and approached my chair.
"Can I talk to you?" he said. I smiled and nodded yes and followed him into the dining room.
"What's up?" I asked.
"I'm sorry." he blurted out.
"For what?"
"For not telling you about being married and Drizzy. I'm sorry." he said.
"It's ok. You didn't owe me any kind of update on your life." I said in a sweet voice.
"I'm really sorry Rach." Finn said as he wrapped me up in a hug. I returned his hug. I missed his arms around me. It felt like home. "I don't want this to be weird."
"No weirdness Finn." I said with a fake smile hoping that it covered my lie. There was a a boat load of weirdness but I would work through it to get Finn back. "So what are you going to do when Evianna and Drizzy go back to Lima?"
"Hang out here I guess." he answered.
"Well you know I live in New York too." I said smiling.
"I know I just thought you'd be busy. You know with your friends or your boyfriend." he said.
"No boyfriend and most of my friends don't live in the city." I answered. "It's just me."
"Well we can hang out. Catch up you know." he said with a smile. I nodded yes and smiled back.
"Dinner is served." Kurt said as he, Blaine and Evianna entered the dining room carrying dishes full of food.
XXXXXXX
Dinner was full of stories of our high school days and Finn's new life.
"Rachel and Mercedes had one of the best Diva-Offs the glee club had ever heard." Finn said. "They were amazing!"
"It was so much fun." I said. "Mercedes always had a way of challenging me to do better than my best."
"Yeah she's great like that." Evianna said with a smile. The smile dropped from Finn's face and he just stared down in his plate.
I looked at Kurt and Blaine but they refused to make eye contact. Evianna must not have noticed the awkwardness because she conintued talking.
"She is the best friend I've ever had. Ever since Mercedes, Quinn and Tina came into my life, I've learned what real friendship is." she said with a big smile, wiping a tear from her eye.
"That's great." I said quietly. Inside I was raging. Everyone knew about her. They befriended her. I can barely get these people to return my emails and they're her best friends. I'm not surprised really. They were all always jealous of me and my talent so of course they would flock toward someone who has no on the surface talent. I snapped out of my thoughts when Finn spoke.
"Yeah well I'm ready for dessert." he said.
"There is a chocolate souffle, chocolate cake and chocolate chip cookies." Kurt said.
"Just chocolate?" Blaine asked.
"Is there anything else." Kurt responded. Everyone laughed as Kurt kissed Blaine on the cheek and left to retrieve the desserts.
"I'm going to help him." I said. I followed Kurt to the kitchen and closed the door behind me. "Everyone loves her right?"
"What?" Kurt asked he hurried around the kitchen collecting plates, knives and flatware.
"Evianna. Everyone from the glee club loves her."
"Well Rach we've known her for about eight years. She's Finn's wife and she's apart of our family now." Kurt explained.
"I was just asking Kurt." I said as I picked up the cookies. "She seems really great."
"Rachel what's going on in your head?" Kurt inquired.
"What? Nothing." I lied. My mind was full of resentment. She managed to befriend people that I tried to get to like me for four years but I was always just solo grubbing Rachel Berry. It didn't matter if I had changed even a spec I was still the same girl to them. "I just remembered I left my slice of cake from Drizzy in the living room." I said as I pushed out of the kitchen door open.
