Chapter 11

As soon as light hit Rachel's face through the window, Rachel's eyes fluttered open and she knew that she would be up for the rest of the day.

Last night came flying back to her memory, making her smile. It was one of the best nights in her life and she would never forget it. The thought of everything that happened last night sent chills up her spine, and she couldn't be more pleased. Rachel now knew that she had missed out on so much all these years. It was like a fairytale. The way Finn looked into her eyes. The way he caressed her cheek and held her in his arms. She felt so safe and loved. She felt invincible. There was no other place on this planet that she wanted to be than in his arms. Smiling to herself, she thought that if she was given forever, she'd be able to spend it with the love of her life.

Last night

The smell of Finn's cologne was all she could smell and considering the situation she was in right now, she didn't care. She had her arms wrapped around his neck and he was holding her up against the door that had just been closed behind them. He placed small kisses on her neck as she held him close to her.

It was unbelievable how fast her heart was going at the moment. She felt like it would beat out of her chest at any minute. This was just so unreal to her. It was like she was in some sort of trans or dream. Finn Hudson, her best friend in the entire world, was about to make love to her.

Placing both of her hands on his cheeks, he looked at her confused. His eyes were filled with lust. Looking down at her, he placed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I love you." she smiled.

His grin spread all the way across his face, ear to ear.

"You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you say that." he replied, kissing her.

"You have no idea how long I've waited to say it." she said in between their kisses.

Holding him close to her, she felt that she never wanted to let go. She loved the way they were right now. Everything felt so safe and warm. Picking her back up, he walked a little further and placed her down on his bed. Laying down, she looked up at him and smiled as he gazed at her.

She then got up on her knees so she could be even with Finn's face. Grabbing hold of his business suit, she tugged it off of him and threw it on the floor. She knew that that was Finn's good suit, but at this point neither of them cared. He smiled as she giggled. Grabbing his tie, Rachel pulled Finn closer to where their lips barely touched. Finn was the one who broke the space in between them. She had no idea how long they were stuck in that position. All she knew was that she loved Finn with all of her heart and the way he had his arms wrapped around her showed that he loved her too, just as much. With every kiss, Rachel's eyes fluttered. The butterflies in her stomach were going crazy and her goose bumps were visible.

If she had to be honest, Finn was the second person that she's ever slept with. Jessie being her first. She wished with every fiber in her being that he was her first. With Jessie, she never felt what she was feeling now. When she slept with Jessie, it was mainly to see what it was like. She had never done it and was curious. She knew that she'd regret it, and that she did. She wished that she had waited to find the right guy to give her virginity to. She wished that she had waited for Finn, because what she was feeling now was not at all normal. This is what true love must feel like, she thought to herself.

Unbuttoning his white shirt and throwing off his tie, Rachel smiled into his dark amber eyes. Each kiss they shared made her fall in love with him over and over again. She wished she would of known that all those years of torture and pain crushing on him would lead to this.

Throwing his shirt on the ground, she looked at him. It's not like she had never seen his abs before. There were plenty times where she'd seen them. He'd had them since high school. But now, like this, it's like it was the first time she'd ever seen them.

"My man is so sexy." she whispered in his ear, causing him to chuckle and lift the top of her scrubs off of her, leaving her in her bra and scrub pants.

"So are you, my dear." he whispered in a low voice, causing her to get the chills again.

"Kiss me.." she demanded.

"Sure thing, Ms. Berry." he smiled and pulled her into another one of the many kisses they've shared.

Tonight would go down in history as the best day of Rachel's entire life. She hadn't planned it, but she was glad that it was happening.

Laying her down, Finn got on the side of her and continued. Grabbing the string on the lamp, Finn switched the lights off to where the room was nothing but completely dark. Then, they proceeded. The rest of the night was their chance to profess their love to each other. Over and over again.

Now

Rachel looked over at the clock on her side of the bed. It was only 7 o'clock. Wrapping the satin sheets around her she sat up and looked over to Finn's side. Feeling worry creep up on her, she looked at them empty side. Getting up she put on her underwear and found Finn's button up shirt on the floor and threw it on. It was so big on her that she had to roll up the sleeves a little.

Opening the door slowly, she tiptoed through the hallway and towards the living room. Once she got a little closer to the kitchen, she heard pots and pans being moved. It also smelled like something was being cooked. Slowly walking a little further, she watched as Finn was whisking a bowl of eggs and watching the small T.V in the kitchen while doing so. It was football on the TV, imagine that..

Sneaking up behind him, she wrapped her arms around his stomach and hugged him close to her. Letting go, he placed the eggs down on the counter and turned to wrap his arms around her.

"Good morning, beautiful." If she thought his voice was sexy last night, she understated it. His groggy, morning voice was much more attractive.

"Good morning." she grinned as she got on her tippy toes to kiss Finn. She could wake up like this every morning. "What's all of this?" she asked, looking around at all of the food.

"It's a special breakfast for my special girl." he smiled.

"You didn't have to do that for me..." she smiled, looking around.

"I wanted to. It's the best I can do to thank you for last night." he winked.

"Are you kidding me right now? Thank YOU." she got closer.

She was loving this little sexy talk they'd developed overnight. He was so good at it and she felt awesome when he did it.

"Maybe I can show you my gratitude another way." he whispered grabbing the remote and turning off the TV. Picking her up, he placed her on the free space on the counter and starting aggressively kissing her neck.

"Wow, me over football? I feel loved." she said, as she gasped in pleasure.

"You are loved, with all of my heart." he whispered as he took her into his kiss. Even better than last night, Rachel thought. How was that possible?

The only thing that interrupted them was the loud growl that came from Rachel's stomach. Pulling apart, Rachel looked at all of the food and then back at Finn.

"I love the thought of a little morning delight, but that food over there is calling my name." Rachel whispered.

"I knew you'd say that." he laughed.

"We'll continue this afterwards." she said, in a low voice, trying to sound sexy.

"I'll be waiting." he smiled, as he place her back on the ground and handed her a plate from the cabinet.

Sitting at the counter, Rachel gulped down her food. She didn't care if Finn was watching her. He was her best friend for a long time. He'd seen all there was to see about her. She wasn't scared to hide anything from him.

Looking at him, she watched him as he took a bite out of his pancake. Looking up at her, he quickly swallowed and spoke.

"What?"

"What does this mean for us? Where do we go from here?" she asked, not knowing what any of this meant. Did they want to start a relationship or was this friends with benefits? She was so confused.

"Well, Rachel Berry, would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?" he asked.

"Absolutely." she responded, pulling him in closer to her.

"Great. Let me change my relationship status on Facebook." he laughed.

"Are you serious?" she asked, laughing as well.

"Or you know, I can always put it in words and flash it in Times Square, like last time." he winked.

"You would do that for me?" she asked, placing her hand over his.

"I want the whole entire world to know that you belong to me now. Of course I would, Rach. I would do anything for you." he smiled.

"Aww, how in the world did I become the luckiest girl alive in a matter of not even 24 hours?" she asked.

"Well, it helps that i'm like really hot." he joked.

"Really..." she played along. "Well, i'm like really stuffed with this nice breakfast that my boyfriend made me, so, how about that desert?" she asked, moving closer to him.

"Well, if you insist.." he began before he jumped up and grabbed bridal style.

"Finn, what are you doing?! Put me down!" she squealed as laughter filled the air. Nothing made Finn more happy than Rachel's very distinctive laugh. It was one of the things he loved most about her.

"You're lucky i'm not tickling you!" he chuckled.

Taking her back to the bedroom, he closed the door behind him and showed her how thankful he was for last night and this morning.

Laying next to Finn, Rachel had her head rested on his bare chest as they watched the ceiling fan rotate in circles. She was thinking about the future. She was thinking about if the rest of her life consisted of days like this, she'd be just fine. She was thinking about if this thing would really last. If this was her one true soul mate lying next to her, or just another fling that would end in flames.

She was most scared of that. She needed Finn in her life just as much as he needed her, and if she would ever loose their friendship, she would probably never be able to cope again. It was like a life or death situation. The victim, their friendship.

Finn noticed that Rachel was zooming off into her own little world, as he watched her watch the fan spin round and round.

"Penny for your thoughts..." he said.

"At the rate my mind is going now, I think I'll be selling them for a dollar." Rachel replied.

"Then, consider me sold. What's going on up there in that mind of yours, gorgeous?" he asked.

"I don't know. I guess I'm just scared for the future."

"What do you mean?" he asked, holding her tight in his arms.

"I'm scared that this thing will end in flames like all of my other relationships, and if it does I don't know if we'll be able to recover. Finn, what if we loose our friendship over this?" she asked, worry creeping into her voice.

"I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought of that before. But, I know one thing Rachel. This is the real deal for me. The feelings I have for you, I've never had them for anyone else in my life." he tells her.

"I don't want another Jessie in my life. I already had one. That was enough." she whispered.

"Rach, don't you see? I would never do what he did to you. He was an idiot and he's lucky he skipped town before I could get to him. I can't tell you anything about the future, because I have no idea. But, one thing I do know about it is that you're there with me. Because, the way I feel right now, there will be another girl in this whole entire universe who can make me feel this way." he explained.

"So, you think this can work?" she asked, smiling up at him.

"I don't just think, I know." he smiled back at her and placed a kiss on her forehead.

By the time the clock hit 9 am, Rachel knew that she had to start doing housework in her apartment before she would leave for her 5:00 shift at the hospital. She really didn't want to leave, but she knew that if she didn't she would be a week behind on all of her chores, especially laundry. She was stalling at the moment. She had it set in her mind that she had to be out the door in the next 20 minutes, but her mind told her to look for every reason to stay.

Grabbing her purse from the counter, a shirtless Finn in sweat pants watched her as she gathered her things together and adjusted her ponytail in the hallway bathroom mirror.

Leaning against the door frame as he watched her, she looked at him through the mirror, and smiled to herself.

"You know, when you walk around the house like that, you make it so hard for me to leave." she chuckled as he walked closer to her. Wrapping his arms around her from behind her, he placed a light kiss on the side of her neck.

"Then stay.." he whispered in her ear.

"I wish and trust me, if I didn't have things I had to get done at the apartment, I'd find every reason to." she smiled up at him as he placed a kiss on her lips.

"I'll be heading out to San's in a hour or 2, but call me as soon as you get home, okay?" he asked.

"I will. San's? What's going on at San's?" she asked.

"I have no idea. She left this very vague message saying that Quinn had a surprise she wanted to tell me. I'm kind of nervous about it, to be honest." he explained.

"Oh my gosh, that's today? I totally spaced out. I guess I was a little distracted. I can clear out some time on my schedule." she said.

"Well, then I have something to look forward to." he smiled, taking her hands in his.

"My day just got a whole lot better. How's that even possible?" she asked.

"Because you know you're going to see me again and seeing me is like the best thing in the world." he joked.

"Don't flatter yourself too much, Hudson. But yeah, seeing you is the best thing ever." she laughed.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist." he smiled.

"How can I?" she asked, closing the space between them.

Getting carried away in their full blown make-out session, Rachel finally jumped back into reality to find that 20 minutes had already passed since she told herself she would be out the door.

"Okay," she started, pulling out of the kiss, "I really have to go. I'll see you later, babe." she smiled as she headed for the door, grabbing her jacket from the racket.

"You know, you make the walk of shame look so hot." he laughed.

"Yeah, maybe next time it'll be your turn." she smiled, as she jumped up, pecked his lips, and turned to walk out of the door. Leaving the building, Rachel felt a huge weight fill her heart. She found it a little strange at first, never having felt it before, but once she got used to it, she finally realized what it was. It was this feeling of lust and she was feeling it right now because she wasn't with the one person that satisfied those feelings. She knew then and there that every doubt she was feeling in her heart had vanished. Her feelings proved that Finn Hudson was the one. It felt so weird to admit to herself after just spending one night with him. But, what she was feeling at this moment wasn't normal and people always said that true love isn't normal.
