"Hey." I said answering the phone. "I'm really glad you called Finn."

"Rachel don't talk. I need to say this." He said. I heard him take a deep breath. "Can we meet?"

"Yeah of course." I said confused.

"Can I come over?" he asked.

"Yeah."

"Good. Open the door." he said. I walked to the door and saw him standing there. His face was stressed.

"Come in." I said.

"Thanks." he said rushing past me. "Look Rachel I'm sorry." Finn said.

"For what?" I asked folding my arms across my chest.

"Being a jerk yesterday." he said. "I know that it was probably my fault."

"Finn wait. I'm..."

"No wait I'm not done. Rachel, I'm not sure what I did or said yesterday but I did mean what I said you know. I do only want to be friends with you. I can only be friends with you." he said pacing.

"Finn I know." I said grabbing his arms stopping him.

"No you don't Rachel. You have no idea. I shouldn't even be here." Finn said looking me in the eye. "I know that I freaked out on you about kissing me but that didn't mean I wanted you to stop. Which is wrong and I know that."

"You didn't want me to stop?" I whispered.

"Do you remember when me and you were staking out Quinn and Sam in that motel?" Finn asked.

"Yeah."

"And I asked you about karma?"

"I remember."

"Well karma is going to get me back big time for this." Finn said sadly.

"No. No Finn, it'll be ok." I said.

"Rachel, look." he said taking a step away from me. "I'm going to tell Evianna about what happened. I can't keep it from her. I'm sorry."

"Finn are you sure that's a good idea?" I asked trying to sound concerned when on the inside I was excited. If he tells his wife she'll leave him and he and I will be able to get back together, but I have to play it cool. I have to let him do everything.

"Yes I'm sure. I can't keep something like this from her." he said. "She deserves to know. Listen, I just wanted to come over here and tell you that what happened yesterday isn't ever going to happen again. I'll admit that it was surprisingly nice but I love my wife."

"I understand Finn. I want to say I'm sorry too." I said. "I know that I read our entire day wrong. I thought that there were signs where there weren't."

"It's fine Rachel, but there is something you need to understand alright. I'm not the same Finn you knew in high school. I'm not going to cheat. All that does is hurt people and Evi and Drizzy are the two most important people in my life. I'm never going to do anything to hurt them." he said sternly.

"I understand." I said quietly.

"I better go. I just had to say all of that." he said turning toward the door. "I really am sorry if I lead you on. You know that I wouldn't do that, not on purpose anyway."

"I know. It's ok. It was more my fault than yours anyway." I said holding the door open.

"Bye Rach." he said as I closed the door behind him.

XXXXXX

It had been a few days since my conversation with Finn. He wasn't answering my calls or my texts but I figured he was just stressing about telling his wife when she got back into town.

"I'm coming." I yelled to the person knocking on my door. "Evianna." I was surprised to see her. She wasn't due back in New York for another two days.

"Hi Rachel. May I come in?" she asked with a small smile.

"Sure." I said stepping aside allowing her in. She stepped in past me and when I turned after closing the door she was facing me. "How can I help you?"

"I'm going to be really brief ok. I know what happened between you and my husband." she began. "I understand how he could still have feelings for you, being high school sweethearts and all that but it was one flash in the pan moment." she said in a serious tone. "That one kiss. That one mistake was not a suggestion or an invitation for you to actively pursue him."

"Evianna, I have no intention in pursuing Finn." I said trying to sound as convincing as I could.

"Rachel, I've known plenty of bitches like you. I know that you say one thing." she said taking a few steps until she was right in my face. "But in that dark, twisted, warped mind of yours you are plotting ways to get in between Finn and I."

"That's not true." I protested.

"It better not be Ms. Berry." she said taking a step back. "Because if I find out that it is the truth, the wrath that will rain down on you will be like nothing you have ever experienced." she said looking me square in the eye. "Do you understand sweetie?" she asked sweetly, brushing the hair off my shoulder.

"Yes." I whispered.

"Good." she said with a sweet smile. "Because when it comes to preserving my marriage and my family," she said letting herself out of the apartment. "I'm ruthless." Those were the last words she said before shutting the door. I was in complete shock. What was I supposed to do now?
