A/N: Hello! I'm home yay! I actually did get quite a bit written while I was away, but the moving it to my laptop and editing is going to take time, but the next chapter should be up by Sunday (I Hope.) I'd have it up tomorrow, but I'm running on hardly any sleep (Not an exaggeration), and the only thing on my mind is getting some shut eye lol. But I hope you enjoy! I also hope it doesn't disappoint since I've kept you guys waiting for 5 days. PS, grammar errors are mine and I'm sure I'm overlooking some…just a heads up.

Finn looked at her, shocked. Did she just say what he thought she just said?

Rachel gasped, sitting up quickly, covering herself with the blanket as she did so. "I'm so sorry." She said standing, wrapping one of the blankets around her that was placed on the bed. "It slipped." She said.

"Whoa, whoa. Slow down there cowgirl. Where are you going?" he then asked.

She turned to face him. "Somewhere."

"Why are you freaking out?" He asked, a grin appearing slowly on his face.

"I didn't mean to say that, I saw your face and you looked absolutely terrified." She said, not turning to face him. But when she did, her mouth opened. "Stop smiling."

"I'm not terrified." He said simply. "Come back here." He said in a soft tone, a tone that made Rachel melt.

Rachel sighed, sitting back down on the bed, her feet still touching the ground.

Finn leaned up on one elbow, wrapping his large arms around her from behind, physically pulling her back so she'd lie down.

"What're you doing?" she laughed as she swung her legs over the bed, now in a lying position.

Finn held her tight, not letting her go. "I'm making it so you don't try to escape again." He joked, looking into her eyes. "So…" he began, Rachel's cheeks already flushing. He was looking at her so closely; the only thing separating them was the blanket she had wrapped around herself. "You think?" he asked curiously.

"W-what?" she said quietly, her eyes fluttering back and forth between his hazel ones.

"You think you love me." He replied.

"I said sorry." She said quietly.

Finn chuckled quietly, kissing her lips softly. "I just wanted to be the first one to think that." He whispered, getting straight to the point.

Rachel smiled, scrunching her nose. "Oh really?" she said.

Finn nodded, giving her a soft kiss once more.

"Don't you think this is all so sudden though?" she then asked as Finn lied down next to her once more, his arms still around her as her body cuddled closely into his.

"Maybe." He said shrugging. "But I don't overanalyze it like you do. Obviously this all is meant to happen." He said simply.

Rachel smiled, her eyes closing slowly. "I guess you're right." She said simply. "You just seem too good to be true."

Finn smiled, kissing her bare shoulder, hearing the grogginess in her voice. "Just go to sleep." He said quietly. "And stop thinking about it."

"Mhmmm." She said, not opening her lips as she drifted off.

"Goodnight, Rachel." He said, smiling to himself contently as she fell asleep, Finn's arms were still securely around her as he thought of everything that had just happened, his mind also pondering to everything that was going on between them in general and how quickly it had all happened. He wouldn't trade it for the world.

The next morning, they had breakfast together at the hotel café before leaving for Los Angeles.

"I don't really want to leave." Rachel said, looking up from her cup of coffee.

Finn smiled. "That makes two of us."

"Can't we just stay one more night?" She asked, smiling, knowing they couldn't.

"I wish." He said, looking up at her. Part of him was afraid that the evening before would cause her to wake up and act awkward, but to his relief that didn't happen. It was actually just the opposite; and well, their morning sex was probably just as good if not better than what had happened the night before.

"I had the best time." She said.

Finn smiled. She was glowing. His heart felt like it could burst with admiration, a thought that was crazy to him. "Me too." He said simply, almost fighting the urge to go on and on about how amazing she was and how amazing she made him feel. He almost wanted to laugh at himself, he felt like such a pansy thinking things like this about her.

When they finished eating, they stood, Finn smiling down at Rachel as she took a deep breath. "I guess we should get ready to go now, huh?"

Finn flashed her a lopsided grin before nodding. "I guess." He said, wrapping his arm around her, kissing the top of her head as they began to walk back towards their room.

As they loaded up the car, Rachel smiled sadly. "I really, really do not want to go."

Finn smiled and nodded as he walked up to her, wrapping his arms around her lower waist. "I don't either, babe." He said, planting a kiss on her lips.

They both got in the car, and with one last kiss, they made their way back towards Los Angeles.

They had a fine drive back, and when he pulled into her driveway, he stepped out of the car, helping her bring her bags into the house. "You know…" Rachel began as they stepped inside. "I've never seen your place."

Finn smiled as he scratched his head. "It's nothing special. Besides, I live with three other guys." He smiled.

"And I live with two other ladies." Rachel noted.

"Point taken." He said, once more placing his large arms around her lower waist. He looked down into her big brown eyes as she smiled warmly up at him. "How about this. The second you get that call saying you got the role you auditioned for, I'll throw you the biggest party known to mankind." He said, squeezing her body softly.

Rachel laughed. "Oh really?"

"Really." He said leaning in for a kiss.

Rachel, whose arms were around his lower back, raised herself so that she was on her tiptoes, returning the now steamy kiss.

Finn lifted her up gently, as she smiled against his lips, her arms making their way around his neck as their tongues danced with one another.

When Finn managed to pull away, he smiled still holding her up. "I think I love you." He said quietly.

Rachel let out a giggle before kissing him once more. "I think I love you too." She whispered, as he set her down. "Do you really have to get going?" Rachel then asked, wishing he would stay.

Finn sighed lightly. "I do."

Rachel pouted her lips.

"Do you think that's going to help? Finn asked, smiling. "You make it hard enough already, trust me." He added.

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "I'm sure I do." She said flirtatiously.

Finn laughed, catching her joke. "What on Earth happened to that innocent Rachel I met a few weeks ago?"

Rachel shrugged. "I'm here." She said quietly, regretting making that comment.

Finn smiled. "You just surprise me, that's all. It's not a bad thing. I actually love it."

Rachel smiled, wrapping her arms around him. "You're cute." She said as he reached behind her, for the door handle.

"I think I've seen cuter." He replied as they said their goodbyes, Finn taking longer to leave than he normally would.

When he did leave, Rachel gently closed the door after him before turning, looking around at the empty house. Letting out a sigh, she instantly felt as if something was missing. She grabbed her bag, smiling, already knowing what it was. Maybe people were right. Maybe when you fell in love you did give your heart to that person. Maybe the romantic comedies had gotten it right, despite her long refusal to believe so. And maybe, just maybe, she had found that with Finn.

She missed him already.

A few hours later, both Tina and Quinn were also back at their Los Angeles home. All three girls sat around the kitchen, drinking organic wine, preparing a nice homecooked meal consisting of vegan burgers and vegan cheesy potatoes.

"This is probably going to be the best thing I've ever made." Rachel said as she sautéed onions and peppers to put on top of their burgers.

"The only thing." Quinn joked, correcting Rachel as Rachel looked over, pretending to be in sheer pain by the comment before all three of them laughed.

"One day, okay. One day I'll be able to cook." Rachel concluded, before the conversation drifted to the weekend they all just had.

Rachel fell silent, only chiming in when appropriate. She thought of the night before with Finn, knowing her face would soon be flushed if she didn't think of something else. She didn't want to tell them about it; not because of what would come of it, but because of how intimate it felt to her. She wanted it to be between them.

As they sat down to eat, they all decided to make the next day a girls' day and head to the mall for some shopping. Rachel concluded also that she should apply for jobs in the process, knowing she needed to start making an income somehow. After all, she can't live off of her savings forever. She thought of her audition as she took a bite of her burger. God did she hope she got the part.

"So you get in her pants?" Jeremy asked, collapsing on the couch next to Finn as he played Call of Duty.

"Dude, shut up." Finn said, his eyes not leaving the screen.

Jeremy shrugged. "I would've man. That girl is smokin' hot." He said in reference to Rachel.

This comment made Finn's eyes drift over to him. "Oh yeah? You think so? You're talking about my girlfriend right?" he asked sarcastically.

"Whoa dude, chill. Don't get all defensive. I'd never try going after her. I'm not Sean."

Finn's eyebrows rose. "Sean?"

Jeremy nodded. "You didn't know?"

"Know what? If he did something towards Rachel, I'll fucking kill him. Not a joke." Finn said sternly.

"His comments towards her that night after the show in your hotel room? You didn't notice?" Jeremy asked.

Finn looked utterly confused. "What comments?"

Jeremy shrugged. "I don't know. I probably shouldn't have even opened my mouth. If she didn't bring it up, then I'm sure it's no big deal."

"It's a big deal to me." Finn said jealously, an irritated look plastered on his face. He handed the controller to Jeremy as he stood, quickly heading to his room to grab his phone. He scrolled through his recent calls, clicking on Rachel's name.

"Hello?" He heard Rachel say through giggles after a few rings.

"Hey. " Finn replied. "I'm sorry, is this a bad time?" He asked sincerely.

"No, no. Not at all." She said, looking at Quinn and Tina who were making kissy faces at the phone, obviously making fun of her. She threw her hands up, mouthing for them to stop but after it was no use, she went to her room, closing the door behind her.

"Oh, good. Hey uh…I just wanted to ask you something really quickly." He said, trying not to sound paranoid.

"What's up?" she asked.

Finn sighed. He really didn't want to ruin her evening. But he was her boyfriend, and though they'd only been together a few days, he wanted to know. He needed to know. "Back at the hotel, after the show, when everyone was at our room, did uh…did Sean say anything to you?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Rachel asked.

"I mean, was he hitting on you or something?" Finn asked, hardly even knowing what to ask in the first place.

"No." she said quietly, her heart beginning to rapidly beat inside her chest.

"Are you sure?" He asked, taking note of her small tone.

"Yes." She said quickly.

"Okay." Finn concluded, not wanting to bother her, even if he knew there was something more behind her simple responses. "Sorry to bother." He then added.

"You're not a bother, Finn. But I'm going to go." She said. "I'll talk to you later."

And with that, she hung up.

Finn looked at his screen as her picture disappeared as his phone screen went black. He had a strong hunch she was lying. Why though? Angry, he stood up, heading out of his room, leaving his phone behind.

Rachel sighed after she hung up. She wasn't about to tell him the truth. Finn and Sean were friends and the encounter was brief and it didn't bother her, since she moved to the couch immediately after. She felt bad, guilt running through her once she realized how she hung up the phone on Finn.

She looked at her screen, sending a quick text. I'm going to call you later before I go to sleep. I hope that's okay. Sorry about hanging up so abruptly.

Hitting send, she threw her phone back into her pocket, heading out to join Tina and Quinn. She would worry about this all later. However, the worrying continued to build as every moment passed, those moments turning into hours, as she checked her phone, not seeing a response of any kind from Finn.

A/N: So? Too blah? Too quick paced? Was it good? Let me know! Leave me stuff to wake up too :)
