Chapter 3 -
It was the day of the party. Finn was waiting on the guys to pick him up, he'd usually take a taxi but this time a few of the guy's from the football team had offered to drive him up so it saved him money. Whilst he waited, he lounged on the couch flicking through the channels. All his favourite's were on just when he was going out, great. The house was empty, his mum had left early to get some shopping done. As Finn opened the cupboard he scanned for anything he could quickly stuff in his mouth. It was all tin's which took effort, effort he didn't want to make until his eyes settled on a bag of prawn cocktail crisps. Shutting the cupboard, he opened the bag and began to eat.
Rachel was in despair. She hadn't planned on what to wear to a party and all her clothes weren't the party-type. She didn't usually care about the way she dressed but at this moment she couldn't have been more furious at herself. Soon, she began to throw things in a huff, tear's swelling up in her eyes. Her dad's had obviously heard the crying and came up to investigate and upon seeing Rachel in the bed, they sat beside her both placing their hand's on both her shoulder's.
"What's the matter Poppet?"
"I...I don't have anything to wear to the party" she wailed, choking back some more sob's.
Both dad's couldn't help but laugh at their daughter crying over an outfit. Rachel looked taken aback and hurt.
"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?" Rachel declared turning her upset into annoyance and anger.
"Nothing, we just knew this would happen darling so we planned in advance"
Rachel didn't understand until one of them got up and went out of the room before returning with a rectangular purple box. Her mind pondered of what it could be. She opened it and gasped. There lay a beautiful short red dress.
"Oh My Gosh, Thankyou Daddy, Thankyou Daddy" her face in a huge grin hugging both of them careful so she didn't tip over the box. She touched the dress delicately and lifted it out the box, stroking it before hugging it to her chest.
"I'm glad you like it sweetheart" they both said in tune with one another before leaving the happy young girl to get herself ready.
25 minute's late, the car pulled up with the honk of a horn. Finally. Finn grabbed his coat, making sure he had his key's so he could lock the door. His mum had called to say that she'd be home late so he was to just take the money she had left on the living table and buy himself some food. There would probably be food at the party so he was planning on spending it on more drink. Scrambling into the backseat of the car, he was entombed in bodie's as they jumped on him from all direction's. He could see that there were infact 7 people in a car that could fit 5 after they picked up another 2 members of the football team. It was a really tight squash and he was at least happy not to be getting in last because the 2 extra's had to sit on people's knee's and it looked way wrong. The conversation's about football were the whole of the conversation even though it was a weekend and on the way to a party, not the usual talk but Finn had got used to it over the years. Once they arrived at the party, everyone seperated into the crowd. He was left alone to find Puck or anybody else he felt like talking to. He fought through the crowds to the kitchen were he found Puck making out with a girl from calculus class. He wouldn't usually interupt but he couldn't find anybody else worth talking to even though lot's of bodie's shouted his name as he entered the door. He wasn't going to stand by himself all night.
"Puck" he shouted across the room
Puck responded almost immediately. He looked at Finn and then completely walked away from the girl who was left standing in the corner of the kitchen. The girl muttered something under her breath before turning and running toward's another group of guy's in the next room.
"Finn, I was getting worried when I couldn't see ya" he said as he grabbed 2 beer's from the fridge. He took the lid's off and passed one over to Finn.
"Yeah, you looked real concerned buddy" he said laughing and taking a swig of the bottle.
"So where's Berry, you seen her yet?"
"Not yet, doubt she'll turn up man, i can hear the word's, i'm too cool for these sort of party's coming from her mouth" he said imitating Rachel's voice.
"Probably but i hope she turns up, i've been wanting a good laugh" Puck said grinning.
Finn grinned back, taking another swig of his beer and soon the bottle was empty.
Finn was about to walk to the fridge when something, someone caught his eye. He stared in disbelief, he couldn't have had that much to drink.
He walked over, looking the figure up and down before finding the word's.
"Hi"
"Hi" Rachel replied. She looked amazing.
Rachel stood staring at Finn waiting for him to say something. He said nothing. Okay, this is awkward she thought as she shuffled around her feet.
"I didn't think you'd come" he said. Finally.
"Well I said i would so here i am" she said arm's in air.
"So, do you want a drink or anything?" Finn asked.
"Maybe later, I don't drink alot" Rachel replied. She didn't see the point in people wasting their day drinking. It was stupid in her eyes.
"Anyway, i need to find some people and ask them, that's what i came here to do and you'll bet i will succeed" she shared openly.
Finn stared.
"Rachel, you have no chance of any of the guys signing a glee sign-up sheet anytime soon. It's not even worth trying, i'm trying to save some of your reputation here, you'll get slushied for the rest of your life" he practically sang.
She looked at him before replying confidently, "Finn you don't know all of the football team's minds? and anyways, i get slushied enough as it is so it wouldn't make much difference would it? I'd just be proud that i did it because i care about glee, now watch and learn" she slipped Finn a grin and stuck her toungue out at him before turning and looking around. There was a couple jock's over by the stair's. She walked over with her head held high and told herself that it'd all be worth it, whatever the outcome. Everybody stopped their conversation and looked at her. She stood looking at them, unable to find any words.
One person spoke. "Darling, if your looking for a date then all you need to do is ask cause you're looking pretty damn fine"
Seven heads nodded in agreement making Rachel blush.
"No but thanks, i was wondering if anybody was willing to join glee club?" her voice shaking but it was out. Silence.
Suddenly everyone roared with laughter. She turned around to note that Finn was smirking and looking at her in his, I told you so look. She turned back around and waited for them to stop laughing, when they did someone piped up.
"You can't be serious right?"
"I'm quite serious"
"Sorry darling but i wouldn't sink that low, ever" came a voice from the faces. Rachel felt Finn's words as each of them shook their heads until she landed on two who didn't say anything. Noah and a blond haired guy she didn't know the name of. The whole of the football squad looked at them, waiting on them to turn them down aswell but finally Puck surprised them all.
"Fine Berry, I'll join but only if you wear that dress every day cause you look smokin' hot!"
"Yeah i'll join too" the blond haired kid said.
"That's a boy Sam" Puck smiled.
"Thank's! That'd be great, rehersals are at 10 tomorrow" Rachel turned and walked on her way back to Finn in the other room. She heard several wolf whistles from behind and shouting between them as they debated why Noah and Sam were joining the glee club. Rachel got a low face on, pretending it didn't go so well and walked Finn's way. He stood there, looking all happy with himself like he'd won. She wanted to see his face drop when she told him but she felt that pretending would be fun to begin with.
"Hi" she whispered coming back.
Finn laughed, "Didn't go too well did it diva? I think someone should tell someone how sorry they are for not listening to the truth and reason!"
"Maybe you're right Hudson" she sighed, "You know, you're always right, you're like a god. Do you mind sharing some wisdom?" she was ready to crack but she kept it going.
"Maybe one day Rachel, but right now i think i'll keep it to myself" he said winking. "I think that you're a little too competitive but don't worry, in time you'll realise that you don't always win, I do."
Rachel snapped. "Finn, i'd take that back if i was you"
"Oh but why Rachel, i'm right and you're wrong"
"Oh really? Well how come Noah and Sam agreed to join the club?"
Finn laughed, not taking her seriously. "Rachel, give it up"
"I'm seriou's. Go ask them." she crossed her arm's and smiled. Finn's face fell and she watched him walk over to Noah and talk. He turned a white colour and glanced back over to Rachel who threw him a little sarcastic wave before using a hand signal of come back. Finn walked back over, mortified. No word's, she loved it.
"So i guess you owe me a drink Hudson" she said.
"Fine" he grunted, "Coke?"
"No not coke, some alcohol stupid"
"But you don't drink alcohol" he said raising his eyebrows.
"No, i said i don't drink ALOT of alcohol but i think i should celebrate this victory" she said loving every minute of it. Finn, however, didn't look very thrilled. He went through the list of beverages in the fridge but none of them appealed to Rachel. She didn't drink wine and there was no beer left.
"Tell ya what, why don't we go to a bar?" Rachel said
"We ain't old enough to get into a bar"
"But we look old enough don't we?" Rachel questioned. She was right, they did look old enough. Finn sighed thinking, bar's were more expensive but what the heck.
"Fine" Finn said as he walked to the hall grabbing his coat and him and Rachel walked out the house without telling a soul where they were going.
It was a cold night which didn't add to Finn's mood. He was really annoyed at not winning the bet, he had planned on buying more beer from Puck but after the fight him and Puck had about glee club, he didn't feel like it. How dare Puck set him up? He knew that i'd have to go on the date with Rachel because he knew he would say yes just to stick him in the mud. The walk was long but without much conversation they reached Jamie's bar. The guy at the door let Rachel through the door without a word but stopped him, looking him over. He thought that he wouldn't be allowed entry for a second but then was let past with a motion of his hand. Thank god. They found a table near the back and sat down. Rachel looked at him directly, he couldn't ignore her anymore.
"Finn, it was a bet and i won so get over it" God she was a bitch but she was right.
"I am" Finn sighed, "What do you want, i'm heading up there"
"A beer to start"
"Any particular kind?" he frowned.
"Surprise me" she said. He was sure she said it in a sort of seductive voice, but then again, he could be loosing it. Rachel looked stunning but they hated each other. After paying for the drink's, he sat back down.
"What time is it" Finn asked glancing at Rachel.
"Don't know but think it's a little after 10" she shouted, the music was blaring threw the speakers and they could hardly talk anymore. Finn drank his beer rather quickly feeling much better. He was going to go head for another but he thought that he should at least wait on Rachel so he could get them both at the same time. She finished then glanced over to the bar before saying, "There's some spare seat's right at the bar, would you want to go sit up there?"
"Whatever, you'll con me out of money anyway" he shrugged and they both got up and walked over. After ordering more drink's, Finn thought he might aswell make a discussion between them so he started talking about Rachel, a subject he knew would please her
"So Rachel, how's your singing going?"
Her head automatically shot up and then came the long draining topic of her career.
"I'm going to broadway and i'm going to be famous"
"I'm sure you are" Finn said putting on a face smile but as the conversation went on, he actually started to take an intrest in the things she was saying. She looked really cute aswell. Finn didn't know why he kept staring at Rachel, it didn't make sense, he loathed her but yes she was beautiful. He couldn't hide it in the back of his mind and he was reminded every 2 minutes of his lust for her.
"Bartender" he called interrupting Rachel, he need a drink to calm his nerves and stop his thoughts so he ordered a few shot's to share.
"I've never taken shot's before" Rachel admitted, head tilted in dismay.
"It's easy, just tip it in your mouth and swallow, ready?"
Rachel looked uncertain at first but then put her small hands around the shotglass.
"One, Two, Three!" and they both drank them in a flash. Rachel coughed hard, and asked for some water.
"It's so strong" she whimpered to Finn.
"Ofcourse it is" he replied and she laughed making herself splutter. This made Finn laugh but he was glad that she had a sense of humour and she wasn't mad at him.
The night went on long. The barman passed drinks over to the two of them like they were kid's waiting on a slab of chocolate. Rachel was laughing and Finn was cracking up some pretty lame joke's. He had learned their name's during the hour' kept looking over and giggling at the sight of them, and even laughing at 1 or 2 of the joke's. They were drunk and it was very obvious. It was nearly 3am and the bar would be closing soon, they'd been there for 5 hours. One of them had been sick, he was sure it was the female but it was also made into a big laughing matter. Nearly everybody in the bar was leaving so he decided to get a listen into the conversation, what could be so intresting that would be worth talking about for 5 straight hour's. The barman pretended to wipe the bar as he listened,
"Finm, you r so funwy" she remarked slapping his shoulder.
"Ow Rach, you know the one thin, i menta one thing hahahahahaha ooopies" he laughed making Rachel roar with laughter again.
"Thee" he smiled as he smiled on the ee before continuing, "One thing" he made a one sign with his fingers, "is that i am like like totally trusting you, you know what i'm saying, you get me, do you understandy hahaha"
"I understandy you very well hudsins and you're 1000% right forget the stoopid 100% it's a dull dull dull dull dull dull dull dull number" she breathed out after saying dull an awful lot.
"Totally right, totally spies hahaha the tv player, the tele, television? you know hahaha ahhhh" The girl and him had another roar of laughter before Finn clicked his fingers, swooning the bartender over.
"Yes?"
"A bottle of israel's finest" then he laughed, "no no no no no totally kiddddin i saw it in some movie, toy story maybe but yea champange" he pronounced champagne wrong and he rolled his eyes back into his head before returning them to look at him. Wow, he looked bad.
"Finn, mate, i think you've both had enough" he laughed but Finn didn't however.
"I want my champ" he whined and Rachel looked practically asleep beside him.
"Look at the poor girl, she's exhausted so take her home, you'll have people looking for you buddy" the bartender said placing a helping hand on his shoulder and Finn's eyes widened.
"Get off mate i'm no gay i don't roll that way hahaha oooo ryhming wordys" he said, "but yeah mummy pie will look for me, comin Rach?"
His word's made the Rachel chick open wide her droopy eye lid's and she seemed in full go again.
"Fine" she breathed and turned around telling the bartender he was a standup old chap" before Finn winked saying something along the lines of if he ever went the other way, i was the first in line. Then they were gone. The barman laughed at his thoughts, little did he know that his wife was at home waiting.
Finn and Rachel pulled a cab and mumbled.
"70 Greenquad Lane" Rachel said and the taxi driver straightened up waiting on Finn to get in before starting but then Rachel changed her mind,
"Is it 70 Greenquad Lane, Finn i've forgotten my address" she moaned and the taxi driver perked up.
"Listen love, why don't i just take you to that address and if it's wrong i'll go to his, that okay?"
"Yes" Rachel jumped up and down in the seat. Slamming the door, Finn gathered beside her and the taxi took off.
The both of them laughing away in the back seat made them not notice how long the journey looked handsome, she just wanted to touch him.
"NO!" she made herself say.
"No what?" Finn looked at her, his eyes were like slits.
"No sir" Rachel replied in a voice and they both started laughing histerically. Rachel lost it, grabbing Finn she forced her lip's to his. She was ready to pull away when she felt his hand come up and place on her cheekbone. Finn moaned regarding entry and Rachel granted his request. His tongue slid in like a snake in the grass, darting in and out. Rachel moaned and returned the favour. Then she felt another hand slowly stroke her leg before moving up. The taxi driver interrupted.
"There will be none of that in here!"
This caused Finn and Rachel to break apart, breathing heavily. Rachel's hair was in all direction's. They glanced at each other then laughed again.
"It's not funny but still reillllyy funna" Finn managed to gasp out before hitting hysterics again.
Soon they reached the address.
"Is this it love?"
Rachel glanced out the taxi window looking at the empty, deserted street. She tryed focusing her eye's on the house but all that made her realise she was in the right place was the car in the front.
"YES WELL DONE" she shouted and flicked some cash from her purse at the driver. She didn't know if it was enough but he didn't say it wasn't so her and Finn got out, slamming the door behind him. The taxi driver sped off.
Rachel unlocked the door after some effort, her hand wouldn't fit into the lock and she didn't understand why.
"Stuped lock pffft" she grumbled closing the door.
The house was quiet. Her dad's were out for the night, some gambling thing. She patted Finn on the tummy before realising,
"Finn, this isny yoor house, YOUR A BOY" she gasped placing her hands over her mouth and slapping her head.
"HEY I CIN BE A GURL"
"Well, in that case you can sleep in my bed cause in gurly sleepovery movies they do, don't they?" Rachel scratched her head at the thought.
"Probably" he grinned and followed her upstairs. Rachel searched for the light switch, stumbling and tripping over things but she finally achieved her challenge when the light's flickered on. They both closed their eye's, the light was blinding but it soon dyed down. Finn sat at the edge of the bed.
"I feel like a little girl" Rachel whispered sitting next to him. She looked, smiling upon him. She'd never noticed how handsome he was til tonight, weird.
"I feel like a litto boy now" he said grabbing her and shoving her down.
She slapped him.
"HEY" he cried letting go and rubbing his cheek.
"Neeverrr everrrr assult a lady hudsink" she drooled.
"I'm not assult, i'm man handle" he winked, drawing in Rachel's attention. Wow, he was hot and he was here.
Finn grabbed her once more and this time she didn't fight. What happened next would change everything.
