The next morning, Rachel Berry and Kurt Hummel sat at the table closest to the door at The Lima Bean, as they had every Saturday morning since they were freshmen two years ago. They both didn't drink coffee so early, but they loved to sit and chat together. The two could talk about anything at all and truth was the only option. Rachel trusted Kurt with her life and she was sure he felt the same about her. They were best friends, after all.

"Ooh!" Kurt squealed after Rachel told him what had happened the night before. "Did you two do it in the middle of traffic? Scandalous, Rachel Berry!"

Rachel laughed at her best friend's antics. "No! We just kissed that one time. Oh, and another time when he dropped me off at home. It was nothing crazy, really. Everything was so comfortable; I feel like I can talk to him forever and never get bored."

Kurt smiled genuinely. "I'm really happy for you, Rachel. It's been a while since you've had a boyfriend."

"Oh, no. He's not my boyfriend," Rachel told the boy, fidgeting awkwardly in her chair. "Not as far as I know."

"Some love life you've got here. I never knew chatrooms could change a person so much."

"How have I changed?"

Kurt scoffed almost rudely, looking Rachel directly in the eye and scooting himself closer into her so he could whisper and still be heard. "You let a stranger eat you out in an abandoned movie theatre, Rachel. Last time I remember, you were desperately trying to escape the sex-loving Jesse St. James. You've never been the type to be that bold under sexual circumstances."

"I'm still the same Rachel Berry I've always been. It's just that even with the anonymity, Finn made and continues to make me feel special. I don't think I'll be giving away my virginity so soon anymore, though. This relationship seems to be one that will most likely be slow-moving to begin with. Maybe someday I'll be intimate with Finn again. I mean, you're intimate with Blaine, right?"

"Rachel Berry!"
Rachel giggled at Kurt's sudden outburst and pretended to lock her mouth up an throw the imaginary key away.

"Just be careful, alright?" he continued. "I don't want to see you getting hurt."

Furrowing an eyebrow, Rachel responded, "What do you mean?"

"We're talking about Finn Hudson here: Quarterback, cute as a button. He has girls all over him 24/7. Haven't you noticed?"

Rachel sat silently, thinking back to the times she had seen Finn. Nothing Kurt was saying seemed familiar, but then again, she had only known him as Finn for a day.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Kurt asked, Rachel's train of thought being interrupted.

"I should hope not!" Rachel almost yelled, then lowering down her voice and shrinking back into her chair.

"Maybe you should find out. You said you met him via chatroom, right? Do you know how easy it is to cheat in those?"

"He doesn't seem like the type."
"You've known him for a day, Rachel."

"It doesn't feel that way, though," she said truthfully. "I feel like I've known him forever."

"I support every decision you make and you know that. Just promise me you'll protect your heart."

"I always do."

Kurt nodded. Rachel was glad she had a friend as supportive and understanding as him.

"I really like him, Kurt," she confessed as a blush took over her cheeks. "More than anyone I've ever liked before; even Jesse."

With a smile, Kurt placed his hand over Rachel's on the table and looked her directly in the eye once again. "I'm rooting for you, Rach. Now go get your man."

Rachel giggled brightly and kissed Kurt on the cheek. "I'll call you later, babe. Have a great day!" She pranced out of the door, one destination on her mind: Finn Hudson's house.

Too short? :P Review, review, review!
