The next day after rehearsal, all Rachel could think about was Finn. What that such a bad thing? She thought. They did have a lovely night hanging out. With every question Finn asked, she saw sincerity in his eyes. Rachel has never seen such sincerity. Not even in previous relationships. She felt something with Finn and she was determined to figure out was it is.

Just then her phone begin to ring, causing Rachel to lose her train of thought.

"Hello?" she asked

"Hey Rachel." It was Finn. Rachel couldn't help the smile that formed on her face. She would know that voice anywhere. "How are you?"

"I'm good! I just got out of my first rehearsal for "Wicked." It was a lot of work but fun." She smiled. Rachel was sure that she could feel Finn smile on the other side of phone.

"Awesome. I'm glad things are going well for you. Anyways, Rach, I was wondering if you were available tonight for dinner?"

Rachel went silent for a moment. Her stomach started to flutter and she was sure her face was on fire.

"Rach? If you're busy, we can do something another night..." Finn sentence got cut off by Rachel speaking.

"No! I'm free!" Rachel gasped out loud. What the hell was she thinking yelling at him like that?

She heard Finn on the other line chuckle. "Well, okay then, can you text me your address so I can pick you up?"

"Of course! What time will you be over here?" Rachel asked.

"7 cool with you?"

"Yes."

"Awesome Just send your address when you can."

"I will." Rachel said sweetly.

"Bye Rach."

"Bye Finn."

When she closed her phone, she slipped against the wall and a breathy sigh left her face. Then it hit her. She has a date with Finn. She looked at the clock and saw it was almost 5:30 causing her to jump. Finn Hudson is coming to her apartment and she's not even ready! Not to mention her apartment is a little bit messy. She quickly hopped into the shower and fixed her hair and put a summer dress on. She even cleaned her apartment a little bit to make it look presentable.

As if right on cue, she heard her buzzer going off and heard Finn's voice. She buzzed him in and after a few minutes, a knock was heard. When Rachel opened the door, she saw Finn Hudson there in a suit, holding a bouquet of tulips.

"Finn! There are my favorite flowers! Thank you!" Rachel exclaimed with a beaming smile on her face.

Finn grinned. "I remember you saying something last night about how tulips were our favorite flowers."

"Well that was very chivalrous of you Finn. Thank you. Come on in. I'll put these in a vase."

After Rachel and Finn left her apartment, Finn surprised her by taking her to a spotlight diner. The waitresses were singing varieties of different songs which both Rachel and Finn enjoyed while they talked.. It happened to be a special night at the diner. It was one of those nights where the customers could go out and sing a song of their choice.

Just as Finn and Rachel finished their dinner. Finn nudged her.

"Rach, why don't you go up there and sing." Finn whispered.

Rachel smiled and uneasy smile. Sure, she loved performing and loved being the center of attention. But when it comes to Finn, she just felt so vulnerable.

She sighed and looked down at her hands she was playing with.

"I don't know Finn." But before Rachel could say anything else, she saw Finn's warm, strong hand covering both of hers, steadying them. She looked up at him with wide eyes.

Finn had a very easy genuine, reassuring smile. As if he knew what Rachel was thinking, he spoke these words softly, 'Rach, you can do it. I'm not going to judge you and I know you love performing."

Rachel shuddered a little under his hands. But she could see in his eyes that he really was being honest with everything he said. With smile, Rachel nodded. "Alright."

Finn grinned and squeezed her hand as Rachel stood up and walked towards the stage. She whispered something into the piano man's ear and then she took her place on stage. With her microphone in hand, she kept her eyes on Finn as she started to sing.

Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know

All my life is just despair, but I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright, all right...

What's the difference if I say I'll go away

When I know I'll come back on my knee someday

For whatever my man is, I am his forever more

It cost me a lot,

But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man

Cold and wet tired, you bet,

But all that I soon forget with my man

He's not much for looks

And no hero out of books is my man

Two or three girls has he

That he likes as well as me, but I love him...

Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know

All my life is just despair, but I don't care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright, all right...

What's the difference if I say I'll go away

When I know I'll come back on my knee someday

For whatever my man is, I am his forever more...

Rachel held that high note as the whole restaurant roared in applause. She saw Finn giving her a standing ovation. Rachel beamed at the praise and took a bow. She then went back to her seat where Finn gave her a huge hug and took her hands before she could sit.

He whispered into her ear. "Do you want to go take a walk in the park?" When she nodded, he grinned. "Awesome let's go."

During their walk through central park, Rachel got a little cold, casing to tuck herself to Finn's side. Finn didn't mind it at all, in fact, he rather enjoyed it. He put his arm around her waist while the other one was holding one of Rachel's hands.

Rachel felt so safe with Finn. She felt that she has started a great relationship with him.

"You were amazing up there." She heard.

She looked up at him to find him smiling down at her. He then stopped them at the bridge in the park and turned to face her.

Rachel looked deep into Finn's eyes. She could see his eyes sparkling in awe and happiness. These next few words come through a whisper.

"You know you can kiss me if you want to…" She paused looking into his eyes, wondering what he'll do next.

Finn's eyes darken a little and he pulls her closer. "I want to." Finn gently brings one of his hands and cupped her cheek and a moment later, his lips came down over hers.

This kiss is sweet and gentle and Rachel feels her whole body is on fire. Finn pulls away a few seconds later and rubs her cheek gently. Rachel, however smile a huge grin and surges forwards on her tippy toes and kisses him deeply.

This kiss is deeper and passionate. She feels Finn smile against her lips and he wraps both of his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him. His tongue slips into her mouth and a breathy moan leaves her lips. When they finally pull away, Finn presses a kiss to her forehead while Rachel snuggles into his chest, loving the feeling of being in his arms.
