This took much longer to update than I anticipated! Life has been so busy! Anyway, hope you all enjoy this one! Some parts are a little angsty (not too much though) but it was fun writing it overall! Let me know what you guys think :)
Could this be any more embarrassing? Rachel stopped in front of Finn, and the smirk he once wore on his face turned into an amused smile. Quinn and Tina hung behind a few feet.
"Did you need to bring more people to see my humiliation?" Rachel said glancing at Sam.
"We were out and I was his ride...he had to come with me...you know, to bail you out of jail? You're welcome, by the way." the smirk returned to his face as Sam chuckled.
"Ugh can we just go please?" Rachel said, walking past both of them and out of the station.
Finn glanced over to the other two girls a few feet away, and gestured for them to follow Rachel out. As they walked past him, Finn threw them both a polite smile. Sam, on the other hand, stood there quite awkwardly. He knew he had to say something to Quinn before he looked like an asshole.
"Quinn, hey. So nice to see you again." he said.
Quinn barely gave him a glance, but stuck her middle finger up at him as she passed him. "Fuck off."
Finn and Sam looked at each other. Well this was certainly going to be a fun ride home.
They started walking out as Finn started laughing. "You totally deserved that."
Sam rolled his eyes. "Shut up." He mumbled.
Sam jumped in the front seat once Finn unlocked the car. Finn, however, opened the backseat door for the girls to get in before he jumped into the car.
Once they were all situated, Finn turned to face the backseat. "I'm Finn and this is Sam, by the way." He said to Tina.
"I'm Tina." she smiled at him. "Thanks for saving us."
"Yeah of course...anytime. So uh, who should I drop off first?" Finn asked.
"I'm not that far from here..you can probably drop me off first." Tina said. She gave Finn her address.
Finn glanced in his rear view mirror and could see both Quinn and Rachel looking out the window. Clearly they weren't going to engage in any type of conversation anytime soon.
"So Tina, what were you ladies up to tonight?" Finn asked.
"Uhh.." Tina laughed. "Just a little dinner and drinks with friends."
"Must have been some kind of dinner." Sam laughed, and he could have sworn he heard Quinn say something under her breath, but really...that was not a battle he was ready to get into.
"Sounds like you girls were having fun." Finn said.
"Yeah...until we got super wasted trying to drown our men troubles. " Rachel sent a quick elbow jab and a pointed look towards Tina. She's never been one for small talk...and was usually the first one to start blabbering.
"Men trouble you say?" Sam interjected, turning his head towards the girls. "Now you've got my attention."
"Yeah Tina - did he sleep with you and just never call you back?" Quinn said pointedly.
Tina laughed a little as Sam awkwardly turned his head back towards the front.
Finn laughed. "Nice move, dude."
"I'm just going to stay quiet." Sam mumbled.
"Why don't you tell us what's been going? Maybe we can help...you know, give you a man's perspective of things." Finn suggested.
"Well..." Tina retold her latest dating adventure of the guy bringing her home for dinner with his family on the first date.
"Everyone knows you save the parents for at least the second date." Finn laughed.
"It's been seriously horrible! Like good guys don't even exist anymore!" Tina exclaimed, feeling oddly comfortable chatting with Finn.
"They do...you've just gotta look in the right places. Sometimes they sneak up on you when you least expect it." Finn said to her. "And when it's there...you've gotta put yourself out there."
"I feel like I've dated every single guy in the LA area" she groaned.
"You know, you should come to this party tomorrow. " Sam said. "Lots of single guys."
"Are they hot?"
"Well, I'll be there." Sam grinned.
Tina giggled at his flirtatious nature. She turned to Rachel. "We should go!"
"I don't know Tina..."
"What's wrong Rach? I promise there's a hot single guy there for you too." Finn grinned. Rachel shot him a look from the backseat.
"You know...we've heard a lot about you, Finn." Tina said.
He broke his connection with Rachel to look at Tina through the rear view mirror. She was smiling at him, and he could only imagine the smile that was also on his face.
"Oh yeah? Only good things I hope." He could only imagine the things she said to them.
"Well we definitely heard about all the fun Rachel's been having. Keeping you all to herself." Tina giggled.
"Tina!" Rachel shot her another pointed look.
"What? You were going on and on about how sweet he was. He picked you up from jail, I think it's okay he knows." Tina said.
"Rachel has a hard time showing her emotions. It's surprising we had to wait this long to find out about you, but it just means she likes you all that much more." Quinn said.
"Quinn!" Rachel was so red in the face. What the hell was wrong with her friends?! Even Quinn was participating in this ridiculous conversation!
"Yeah, well I really like her too." He said, glancing over at Rachel, who just would not make eye contact with him.
Silence took over the car for a few minutes before they reached Tina's house.
"Here you go, Tina." Finn said.
"Thanks Finn! I hope I get to see you again soon." Tina said, this time giving Rachel a look that said 'you'd be crazy not to want to see this guy again'.
"Hey, well like Sam said...my brother's having a party tomorrow. You're more than welcome to come. You too Quinn." Finn said.
"Hmm...well you didn't answer my first question. Will there be hot guys? Hot and single guys, I mean." Tina said.
"Uh, single guys...yes." Finn laughed. "Hot just depends on your taste. But, I think a friend of mine would really like you." Finn innocently suggested.
"We'll so be there. Rach - text me the details!" Tina said, not needing any more convincing. "Thanks again Finn. Nice meeting you Sam!" she got out of the car and headed into her apartment. Finn waited until she was safely inside before he drove off.
Next on the list to drop home was Rachel. Finn really wanted to drop her off last, but she insisted that she lived closer to Tina's than Quinn did, and it made sense to drop her off next. She only lived a few minutes away, and they were in the parking lot before he even knew it.
Once the car came to a complete stop, Rachel said goodbye to Quinn, and paused a moment before saying a quick 'thanks' to Finn and Sam before she got out out of the car.
Finn watched her from his rear view mirror before he took his seatbelt off. "I'll be right back.." He told Sam.
Rachel must have expected him to follow her, because he caught up with her in no time. He walked silently next to her towards her apartment, as he tried to figure out the words to say to her.
She turned to him when they were nearly in front of her apartment, and out of view of Sam and Quinn.
"Why haven't I heard from you?" she blurts out.
He stops walking, and turns towards her, slight caught off guard by her bluntness.
"I haven't heard from you all week, and now you just show up..." She shook her head as she continued speaking.
"I was giving you space, Rach. You needed me tonight so I came..." He stuffed his hands in his pocket.
"I didn't ask for space Finn. You're the one who left..." Rachel felt the emotion building up inside of her and felt like she was on the verge of tears. She could NOT let him see that. The alcohol and all of the events that happened tonight seemed to be catching up to her.
"Okay, well, yeah...I needed some space." He admitted. "I like you a lot, Rachel. For some reason...it seems like you don't feel the same. I can't...be with someone who isn't ready to be with me." He ran his fingers through his hair nervously. He rehearsed this so many times this week. He had so much to say to her and now? He couldn't find any of those words. So, he went with what felt right.
"I'm here Rach. I'm telling you I want to be with you...but I can't keep chasing you if you won't let me catch you." He said. She looked down and he could have sworn he saw a tear escape from her eye.
"Look, it's late and you're probably tired..I should go." He said.
She still didn't say anything. She lifted her head to stare at him, her large brown eyes full of water and some confusion.
"Good night Rach." He bent down to kiss her forehead.
As he turned to walk away, she grabbed onto his arm. "Wait..." She managed to get out.
He stopped and turned around. "Yes?"
"Please stay." She barely whispered.
He looked at her and he honestly had no idea how he was going to say no to her.
So he doesn't.
He walked back to the car to hear Sam and Quinn bickering in the car. He walked up to Sam's window which was rolled down.
"Uh...do you mind dropping Quinn home?" he asked.
"What? Why?" Sam said. "Where are you going?"
"Finn I cannot stay in this car with him for one more minute!" Quinn yelled out from the backseat.
"I'm going to stay over..." Finn said. Sam smirked. "You're fucking whipped, bro."
"That's my friend you're talking about!" Quinn said.
Sam rolled his eyes. "We didn't even say anything about her. Can you just quiet it down back there..."
"Dude just take my car okay? Pick me up tomorrow before the BBQ." Finn said.
Sam smirked the moment he saw Finn didn't get back in the car, but rather approached the passenger side of the car.
Sam shrugged. "I hope you know what you're doing, dude." He got out the car and walked to the driver seat.
"Make sure Quinn gets home safe okay?" Finn said before walking back to Rachel's apartment.
"So are you going to hop in the front seat, or am I just going to be your chauffeur?" Sam asked once he turned on the car.
"I'm fine back here." She responded.
Sam sighed. He knew he should have just stayed home tonight.
Finn walked back towards her apartment. What the hell was he doing? His whole plan was to ignore her and she'd come crawling back to him. But then...she didn't. Not until she needed to be bailed out of jail. He answered the phone on the first ring and came crawling to her the moment she needed help. He was putty in her fucking hands and she had no idea what she was doing to him.
He reached her apartment and walked in as she left the door unlocked for him. The lights were all off except for a dim light peeking out of the bathroom. The shower was running so he could only imagine she was scrubbing off all the scum that she accumulated in her little jail cell. He closed the door behind him and walked over to the couch, sitting down.
Rachel soon came out of the bathroom in just a towel and headed into her bedroom.
"Finn?" He heard her call out for him softly.
"Uh, yeah. I'm out here." He called out.
She was silent for a moment.
"Come in here." Her voice called out again softly to him.
His feet were moving before he even realized it, and soon, he was entering her room and closing the door behind him.
She was already tucked into bed and motioned for him to join her.
"Are you sure...I mean I can sleep on the couch or something." He said.
"I thought you said you were going to stay with me." She responded.
"I thought you wanted to talk or something..." He shifted nervously in front of her.
"We can talk tomorrow. I'm really tired. Are you coming in here or what?" He could barely see her with the lights off, but knew she was staring right at him, waiting for him to respond.
He nodded, even though she couldn't see him, and undressed himself until he was down to just his t-shirt and boxers and slid underneath the covers next to her.
"You can move closer you know...I don't bite." She said.
He looked over at her. "I know that..." Why the hell was he so nervous all of a sudden? Dude, chill out.
She moved closer to him before he had a chance to move. She lifted the covers and swiftly moved her body on top of his straddling his waist.
Holy shit. She was naked.
His eyes raked up her body, slowly moving past her supple breasts, up to her face where she was biting her lip.
Fuck. She was definitely trying to seduce him. And honestly, it's been a long week without her.
"What are you doing, Rach..." He cleared his throat, trying his best to keep his hands to himself.
She leaned down, letting her nipple brush against his chest as she pressed a kiss to his collar bone.
"I'm just thanking you, Finn..." He let out a small groan as she continued her attack of small kisses along his shoulders and neck. Her hips were moving in a circular motion, gyrating against his now hardening dick.
His body couldn't give one fuck if he was mad at her. He wanted her and she knew it. She had all the power right now.
She leaned forward to get closer to his face so she was now on all fours on top of him. She kissed along his jaw line, running her tongue from his neck to his jaw sucking on his skin lightly. She hadn't even kissed him yet and he thought he was going to explode.
He couldn't control himself anymore and soon found his hands all over her body. He ran his hands up the sides of her legs until he was grabbing her ass with both hands. After a firm squeeze, he moved his right hand in between her legs and rubbed in between, feeling her wetness. He plunged two fingers into her eliciting a surprised moan out of her mouth.
"Oh, Finn." Fuck. She sounded like a fucking angel even when she was engaged in a less than angel-like manner. He wanted to hear her say his name like that over and over again, so he plunged his fingers in and out of her fast and as deep as possible. He curled his fingers into her spot and she let out the ultimate cry of passion.
Finn grabbed a hold of her and flipped them over so she was laying on the bed, with her legs spread in front of him. His fingers quickly found her warmth while he pulled off his t-shirt with his other hand.
The look in her eyes were filled with pure pleasure and he's pretty sure his eyes reciprocated the same emotion.
She tugged on his boxers with her feet and he helped push it down which caused his huge hard on to emerge.
He removed his hand from her pussy and pushed into her with one quick, deep thrust.
"Finn" she moaned. She grabbed his face and pulled his lips to her. It's been so long since she kissed those lips and she wanted nothing more than to feel them on hers.
He paused his thrusts to kiss her deeply, resting his weight on his arms. He pulled away slowly, looking into her eyes, before pressing his lips to hers again. He continued thrusting deep into her until they were both at their edge, their lips never leaving each other.
Finn woke up to his phone ringing in his jeans pocket somewhere on the floor. Ugh, what time is it? The bed was empty next to him, so Rachel must have already been up.
He stumbled out of bed and found his jeans on the floor containing his phone.
"What's up bro?" He answered.
"Finn! Where are you? You were supposed to be here an hour ago to help set up." Kurt exclaimed into the phone.
Finn pulled his phone from his ear to see it was already after 12 pm. Considering they didn't get back to Rachel's until nearly 5 and didn't go to sleep until almost 6...he was surprised he didn't sleep longer.
"Shit, man. I'm sorry. Umm I'm gonna head over soon."
Rachel must have heard him wake up, because she walked into her room wearing his t-shirt and holding a cup of coffee. He glanced over at her and saw her eyebrow raise and a small giggle escape her lips. He looked down and realized he was naked...very very naked.
"You better! Tonight has to be perfect and I need you and your friends to help me set up. Oh, and Mom said to bring ice on your way here." Kurt said on the other line.
Finn found his boxers and tried putting them on with his one hand while holding the phone with his other.
"Alright I'll be there soon, text me if you need anything else. Everything is going to be awesome!" Finn said and hung up with his brother.
"Good morning, Finn. Or should I say good afternoon?" Rachel said, taking a sip of the coffee.
Finn chuckled as he texted Sam to find out where he was. He pulled his jeans on and walked over to Rachel, taking the mug from her hand and taking a sip. He immediately made a face.
"Ugh God I forgot you put like no sugar in your coffee."
Rachel gave him a small smile. "Are you leaving already?"
He could see a faint tinge of sadness cross her face. "I've got to help my brother set up for his party later today. Sam's gonna pick me up soon." He glanced at his phone to see Sam texted that he'd be there in a few.
Rachel nodded and bit her lip, her mind clearly thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Finn asked her.
"About last night..." Rachel wasn't exactly sure where to start. Thanks for picking me up? Thanks for staying the night and making me feel like a freaking goddess as usual?
Finn nodded, waiting for her to continue. Clearly he wasn't going to make this easy for her.
"Just...Thanks. For everything. I know we didn't get a chance to talk but..." She trailed off.
"Yeah, well...Anything for you, Rachel." He shrugged and smiled at her. If she just knew how true this words were. Damn you Rachel Berry.
She smiled at him, closing the gap in between them, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a sweet kiss.
"I've gotta get going." He said as he pulled away from the kiss, but placed his hands on her hips. She pouted a little at his abruptness, but couldn't necessarily blame him. They still weren't on great terms. She let it pass for now.
"About the party...Tina texted me...she apparently really wants to go since you are basically playing matchmaker for her..."
"Yeah? So you guys are coming?" He couldn't help but let a smile out.
Rachel nodded. "What time should we get there? And should I bring anything?"
"He's expecting people around 4. Just bring your friends and come by whenever you want. It's just a bbq but we'll probably be there pretty late. I'll be there all day."
"Text me the address. Are you sure Kurt won't mind?"
"Nah. He told me to invite you in the first place."
She looked a little surprise, considering Kurt barely knew her. She wondered how much Finn told him about her. Finn's phone vibrated and he reluctantly moved his hand off of her to pull his phone out of his pocket.
"Sam's here. I need my shirt girl." Finn said to her.
Rachel lifted her arms up and looked at him. He laughed a little and reached for the hem of the shirt and pulled it up over her head, revealing her naked body.
"Ugh..." He groaned, eyeing her body over. "Sam has bad timing."
Rachel giggled. "I'll see you later." She kissed him once more.
"Try not to get arrested or anything before then, okay?" he smiled amusingly at her as he started to walk out of her apartment.
"Haha, you're just so funny Finn!" she called after him, finally able to laugh at the adventure she found herself in last night.
Later that evening, the party was full in effect. Kurt had a few friends from high school and college come by, and the rest were Finn's friends. Kurt seemed to be having a great time - talking to everyone about his adventures abroad, and putting on an English accent every chance he had. Kurt was also really big into acting surprised whenever someone gave him a graduation gift, even though all he spoke about this week was the fact that people better not show up empty handed. Finn had a little surprise of his own for him.
"Dude what the fuck? Sam just told us about last night. Why didn't you call me bro!" Puck said, walking over to Finn, with Mike, Artie, and Sam.
"We were already out! We just picked them up, they weren't really arrested or anything. We dropped them home after." Finn shrugged.
"Yeah until he left me alone with fucking Quinn...guess where I picked his horny ass up today." Sam said as Finn rolled his eyes.
"No way!" Artie laughed. "You got it bad, Finn."
"Is she coming tonight?" Mike asked.
"Yeah...she is. She's actually bringing her friend along. Remind me to introduce you guys." Finn said. Mike's face lit up.
"Yeah man, sounds cool." Mike played it off nonchalantly. Honestly, he's had the hardest time meeting girls, especially because his mother was always trying to set him up on blind dates that just never went well.
"Uh what about me? Doesn't she have a friend for me?" Puck said. "I'm hurt that you gave the chick to Mike first!"
"I didn't give Tina to Mike. I just said I'm going to introduce them dude. Maybe she'll end up liking you instead." Finn shrugged.
"Nahhh, she'll like me." Mike nodded.
"What about Quinn?" Puck said.
"Dude, that girl is nuts. Stay away from her." Sam shook his head.
Finn laughed. "Did you get her home okay?"
"She cursed me out like the whole ride to her house! I turned on the music to drown her out. She's not coming tonight, is she?" Sam said.
"Uh I really have no clue." Finn said.
"Don't worry, I'll take her off your hands." Puck said. Sam laughed. "Yeah man, good luck with that."
"Maybe I'll take her off both of your hands." Artie said. The guys all turned to Artie and laughed.
"What?" Artie exclaimed. "How much do you want to bet I get her number tonight?"
"Oh dude, you are so on!" Puck said excitedly. The rest of the guys looked on amused as Puck and Artie began working out the details of their bet.
Meanwhile, Kurt was playing the role of a good host when there was a knock on the door. He went to answer it and for a second, he could have sworn his eyes were playing a trick on him. Was Blaine standing in front of him?
"Kurt, hey!" Blaine smiled. Over the past week, the two exchanged a few work emails and met up with Mike and Puck for their project, so he had a bit more communication with him since their lunch. However - he did NOT invite Blaine to this, as much as he wanted to. They were definitely not even friends, they were barely even acquaintances. Blaine was his client.
"Blaine! You made it." Kurt heard Finn's loud voice approaching the two men.
"Yeah! Thanks for inviting me man. I brought some beer..." Blaine held out the 6-pack to Kurt. "I heard it's your graduation party. Congratulations." he smiled at Kurt.
Kurt smiled back, realizing he still had not said one word since Blaine arrived. "Oh! Thank you! This is my favorite beer!" Finn shot Kurt a look. Kurt hated beer, but whatever.
Blaine smiled, proud that he brought the right thing.
"Well Finn did not tell me you were coming, but please, come on in! The party's just getting started." Kurt said.
"Yeah, I'll just take this..." Finn grabbed the beer from Kurt. "Kurt, why don't you show him around? Give him a little tour?" Finn said.
"Uh yeah...of course. Follow me, Blaine."
"Wait, do you mind if I used the restroom first? It took like an hour to get here." Blaine said, apologetically.
"Of course, it's to the right." Kurt pointed in the direction as Blaine followed.
Kurt turned quickly to Finn once Blaine was out sight. "What did you do?"
"What? I just invited my friend Blaine to your party. You said I could invite people." Finn shrugged innocently.
Kurt eyed him skeptically. "I've never even heard you talk about him before. You know what, I don't even care. Do I look okay?"
Finn laughed. "You look fine, man. Blaine's a cool dude. You should talk to him. I think you guys have a lot in common." Finn again shrugged innocently.
"I don't know what you're up to Finn..." Kurt responded.
"Dude, just relax. Enjoy your party. Happy Graduation." Finn smiled, giving him a playful shove. "Now I've gotta go drink this beer here, because I know you're not gonna drink it."
Kurt laughed and quickly checked himself in the mirror once Finn walked away. This party just got way better.
Finn looked at his phone. It was minutes past 8 pm and Rachel still hadn't shown up. Didn't he tell her it started around 4? He kind of expected her to show up at like 6. It's like, not too early but not too late either. The worst part was she didn't even text him! Was she not coming? He contemplated calling her but decided against it.
"Where's your girl, man? I have a bet to win here." Puck said to him.
"She's not my girl, man...and I don't know, she said she was coming, but maybe she changed her mind. Whatever. I don't care. I'm going to get another beer." Finn walked off to the bar set up to grab a beer.
He hated that he cared this much.
