It was Monday after the night of the party and Finn had the worse weekend ever. He couldn't stop picturing Rachel's body all over Sam's and the way that she smiled at him. He really wanted to hurt Sam and wanted to tell Rachel how he really felt.
She wanted me but now shes's all for Sam. Finn though slamming his gym locker in anger.
"What's happened man?" Puck asked opening his locker. "Let me guess you didn't get laid" Puck said laughing.
"Hey man, er nothing" Finn said trying to change the subject. "I just hated today that's all the classes seemed harder".
"Yeah" Puck said unconvinced. He was surprised that Finn was lying to him. He should know by now he cant lie.
"So" Finn said sitting beside Puck. "Did you manage to talk to Rachel?" Finn asked wanting to know how Rachel was.
Puck let out a sarcastic laugh "My sister?" He said looking up at the ceiling. "I'm not sure i even have a sister man" Puck added with sadness.
"What happened?" Finn asked concerned patting Pucks shoulder.
"Well can you believe i hardley's even saw her during this weekend? Obviously i didn't after the party, but on Saturday morning when i came back she wasn't there, she was signing then went to the cafe. She then spent the afternoon with Quinn and then after that she spends the whole night chatting with that Jessie" Puck said sighing. "She didn't listen to a word i said" Puck added shaking his head.
"Dude you don't know that, i mean Rachel is caring and listens to people" Finn said smiling. "She even listens to you" He joked.
"I don't know man" Puck said looking at Finn. "I was taking to her for about 15 minutes that's all and all she kept saying to me was ;yeah or okay; anyway i wanted to make sure she actually was listening to me so i told her i was thinking about breaking up with Santana because i was in love with a dude"
"Oh" Finn said bursting into laughing. "That's sick man".
"And you know what she said?" Puck said shaking his head "She said ;yeah that's okay;" Puck shook his head once more. "So i just gave up and walked out".
"I'm sorry dude" Finn said putting his head down.
"The guys in his 20's and is a musician who goes on tour around the world" Puck said sighing. "I talked to my mam about it and all she had to say was ;Jessie is a lovely boy and i trust him with Rachel;. Puck said speaking in his mothers voice. "I just want her to forget about him".
"Maybe..Mabye i could erm take her out once or twice?" Finn said shrugging. "I mean if i take her out she might forget about it" Finn said turning to open his lock so he didn't have to see Puck's face.
Finn didn't hear a reply for a few seconds so decided to turn around to see what Puck was thinking. He turned around to see him looking down at his shoes.
"You okay man?" Finn asked resting his back against his locker. "Maybe it wasn't the best of ideas" He said joking but was hurt.
"Yeah" Puck said finally looking up "I don't want Rachel to go out with you. No offense it's just she left so she could get rid of her feelings towards you, so i just think if you do take her out its going to turn out bad and she will end up falling for you again" Puck said concerned. "Plus nobody would believe i will ever let my sister date a guy like you" Puck said with a smile.
"It's up to you man" Finn said hiding the pain he was feeling. He knew Puck would never let him date Rachel but it hurt him saying it.
"But if i can't speak to Rachel i can still speak to Sam" Puck grinned.
Please kill him. Finn thought.
After football practice Puck was talking to the coach while Finn was chatting with some of the team including Sam. Finn wanted to know if Sam was going to mention her.
Once Puck was done talking to coach he turned his attention to the group "Sam i need a word, in private". He shouted.
The group parted and Finn couldn't help but smirk. Sam smirked back at him.
"You're enjoying this aren't you?" Sam whispered to Finn. "But just so you know if i can't have her somebody else will and Puck would make sure it isn't you" Sam added laughing walking towards Puck, leaving Finn full of anger.
Puck and Sam were in the coach's office. Finn stayed near the office to have a look at the chat. He couldn't hear a thing but he could see what was happening. Please choke him! Finn thought.
Once the chat was over, Finn walked in the office next to Puck. He was surprised that Sam winked at him when he walked out.
Finn frowned at him with confusion, he didn't expect to see Sam so happy. Finn just shrugged it off.
"So man,, What did you do?" Finn asked Puck. "Did you threaten him?" He added curious.
"No" Puck said laughing. "Who do you think i am"
Finn just laughed.
"I told him he could date Rachel" Puck said walking back to the changing rooms.
"Come again?" Finn said stopping Puck by grabbing his arm. "I thought you didn't want Rachel to date a guy of the team?" Finn added with anger.
"Hey man chill" Puck said frowning. "Why does it matter to you anyway?" He asked.
Finn shook his head. "Never mind dude, I'm just surprised" Finn said with a slight shrug.
Puck pattered Finns shoulder. "Let me explain to you" Puck said opening his locker. "You know i was about to threaten Sam but then i thought he would be a good way for Rachel to get over Jessie" Puck grinned. "Anyway Sam's a pretty decent guy, he doesn't sleep around, hes serious and plus with him being on the team i can keep an eye on him" Puck smiled. "Rach seems to like him" He added looking at Finn.
"Yeah! That's a smart move Puck" Finn said with his best cheery voice. "Pretty impressive".
"Yeah i guess. We'll have to see how Rachel reacts to it" Puck said grimacing. "You know she seems to like him but is it enough for her to date him? That's another question"
"Yeah" Finn said a little more happy then intended.
Puck frowned at him. He was confused by his friends reaction.
"Well i'm going to hit the showers" Finn said walking away from Puck. Please say no Rachel he thought.
"Quinn just think" Rachel said patiently giving Quinn a pen. "I'm sure you'll know the answer".
"i don't know! And i don't care" Quinn said pouting. "Who needs calculus anyway" Quinn asked shrugging.
Rachel laughed, She loved helping Quinn out but she never took it serious. They were sat at school in a room. "You need to know Q, you need to graduate" She added as nicely as she could.
"I know but i don't see why" Quinn said playing with her pen. "Anyway i'm going to college to be an actress or singer, so therefore i do not need maths" Quinn said smiling.
"Quinn listen behind the singing you have a lot more in you" Rachel said with honesty. "You are smart, never doubt yourself Q" Rachel added.
"Your something you know that Rach" Quinn said smiling. "You always see something special in people if if theirs nothing there".
"That's what makes her amazing" Sam said walking into the room.
"Hey Sam, How are you?" Rachel asked nervously. She flirted with him quite a lot at the party it was mainly to prove a point to her brother. But did she like him?.
"I'm not sure yet" Sam said slightly smiling. "I had a talk with your brother today" His smile got bigger "And well i wanted to ask you out on Friday" He added getting nervous.
"Out?" Rachel sounded surprised. "Like a date?" She asked.
Sam started laughing while Quinn kicked her under the table.
"Yeah that's the idea" Sam said keeping his eyes on Rachel.
"Your so funny Rach" Quinn said slapping her arm.
Rachel looked towards Quinn and frowned. "Yeah that's me a joker" She said to Sam with a smile. "Well thanks Sam it's lovely you asked me but" Suddenly she was cut out by Quinn.
"Of course she will" Quinn interrupted.
Rachel looked at Quinn then Sam. She could see Sam feared a rejection from her. He was actually a really nice guy and it was only a date she thought to herself.
"Yeah okay, Friday seems good" Rachel said trying to sound excited.
"Great" Sam ginned. He gave Quinn a thankful look and kissed Rachel's cheek "I can't wait" He said leaving the room.
Rachel nodded. She waited for him to leave then slapped Quinn's arm.
"What's wrong with you?" Rachel asked angrily.
"Whats wrong with me?" Quinn asked. "Whats wrong with you more like" She said pointing. "Your holding onto to something that's not there! I don't know if your holding back for this Jessie guy or if it's because of Finn once again, you need to move on Rachel" Quinn started to get tears in her eyes. She hated always seeing her friend fall down in the dumps.
"I-" Rachel began but was soon cut off.
"No let me finish! Even if it is one of them lets see Jessie is always around the world that means girls everywhere. And Hudson" She shrugged. "He has had years to give you a chance but he still hasn't and you promised me you would move on so show me you can!" Quinn said taking Rachel's hand in hers "Just give it a try?" She asked.
"I'm sorry" Rachel said looking down. "Your right i should move on wards" She said hugging Quinn. "Finn and i are just friends and i need to remember that".
Friday Night
"Come on Rach" Quinn said getting annoyed. "Don't you trust me?".
"I do and you know that but,, i'm not sure about the hair" Rachel said whining as she looked at herself in the mirror. "I already let you pick my outfit and do my make up" She said as an excuse.
"I know i did. But remember your the one who called me right?" Quinn said with er hands on her hips. "And maybe i don't know a lot but when it comes to fashion i'm amazing" Quinn said clapping at herself.
Rachel laughed and looked down at herself in the mirror. Quinn curled the bottoms of her hair, she was wearing a light pink low neck top that showed off her skin colour with low waist black jeans and high heels.
"So the hair stays right?" Quinn said smirking.
"Yes it does" Rachel said hugging Quinn. "Thanks for the help".
"Its fine" She said smiling. "Question?" She asked.
"Answer" Rachel laughed sitting on her bed.
"Wheres the over protected brother?" Quinn said raising an eyebrow.
"He's with Santana, i don't really know where" Rachel said laughing. "I think Santana's trying too keep him away from me and the house for a while so he doesn't change his mind on Sam".
"Oh yeah" Quinn said widening her eyes knowing if Puck was here seeing his sister like this he would go insane.
Around 10 minutes later Rachel was in the kitchen looking at the clock. She was ready and waiting alone because Quinn went to help out my mam at the cafe.
Quinn really wanted to stay to see Sam's reaction but Rachel told her to go.
15 more minutes and Sam will be here she thought to herself. She took a deep breath. Just breath Rachel.
A few moments later the doorbell rang, Rachel took another deep breath, grabbed her bag and opened the door. But it wasn't Sam stood their it was Finn, she frowned and walked out shutting the door behind her.
"Hey Finn" She said smiling. "What you doing here?" She asked.
Finn just kept looking at her . His eyes were locked on hers.
"Finn?" Rachel said.
"Yeah" Finn said in a high voice. He cleared is throat "I came to see Puck, we were meant to hang out tonight" He replied still locking his eyes to hers. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked.
"Oh" Rachel said surprised and also disappointed. "He's not here, he's at the cafe" Rachel said with a smile. "So" she said twirling "Do i look nice?" She asked genuinely. "It's good to have a guys opinion" She added not realising she was making Finn very nervous.
"You always look nice" Finn said mumbling looking down.
"Huh?" She asked frowning bending down to try to meet Finn's eyes. A strand of hair went in her face, she was about to pull it back behind her ear but Finn did it first.
His touch was slow and soft at the same time. Once he put the strand of hair behind her ear he caressed her cheek. That one touch made them both shiver and lock eyes, they both leant it ready to kiss.
"Rachel?" They both heard.
Sam's voice brought Rachel back to reality. She jumped back from Finn and smiled.
"Ready to go?" Sam smiled at Rachel noticing Finn's eyes never left her.
"Yeah" Rachel said her heart pounding. "You should go to the cafe Finn, Pucks there" She looked at him before going off with Sam.
It was 10.30pm when Sam parked his car infront of Rachel's house. Rachel had her elbow resting on the window.
Sam turned of his car. "Rach? Were back" He said gently touching her shoulder.
Rachel slightly jumped. She felt so bad about there date. But she just couldn't stop thinking about Finn. Would they of kissed if Sam didn't come?
"Well" She said smiling. "Thanks for tonight i had fun" She added.
Sam laughed shaking his head. "No you didn't" he said nicely. "You weren't with me most of the night".
"Why are you saying that?" She asked nervously.
"Oh you know, many little things showed me" He said shrugging. "But one of the biggest ones was when you said the film was romantic" Sam said laughing.
"So?" Rachel asked confused.
"Rachel, we watched halloween a horror" Sam said looking at her.
"I" Rachel sighed. "I'm sorry, i'm just not me at the minute maybe another time?". She was wondering about Finn and was in a hurry to see him. And meeting Chloe there ruined her night even more.
Flashback
Sam went to get some drinks while Rachel waited for him.
"So, your finally dating a football boy?" Chloe said smiling at her. Chloe was also a cheerleader.
Rachel just smiled. "You know it's just a date" She said looking around for Sam.
"Yeah right" Chloe said laughing. "And what i did with Finn Hudson yesterday was just exercising" Chloe added shaking her head. "Your lucky Sam is one of the nice ones" Chloe said leaving.
Rachel was furious at what she just heard. What was Finn doing.
End of flashback
Sam put his hand on top of Rachel's. There will be no more date Rachel. I believe your sorry but stop lying to yourself" Sam said smiling.
"What?" Rachel asked surprised.
"Your heart belongs to someone else and you better stop lying to yourself about it because your going to keep hurting yourself and anyone who wants to be with you" He said nicely.
"I tried to stop loving him with all the strength i had in me" Rachel said her eyes filling up with tears. "I even left to try and forget about him". She said shaking her head. "I'm sorry if i hurt you, your a great friend" Rachel said putting her head down.
Sam smiled. Your a good person Rachel". Sam said drying her tears. "But you have to face what you feel".
Rachel started to sob even more.
"Come here. Don't cry" Sam said hugging her. "I think we already were great friends and we will carry on being that. I honestly think a part of me knew their we something between you and Finn. I just always hoped nothing would happen"
"No" Rachel said. "Finn doesn't see me in that way".
Sam laughed. "Are you really that blind?" He asked looking at her. "He feels something for you, if he didn't then he wouldn't of been looking through the window at us since we got back" He added closely looking behind her. "Don't turn around" He said to her.
He bent down and kissed her nose softly and pressed his forehead against hers. "From where he is it looks like i just kissed you on the lips" Sam said smiling.
"Your the sweetest guy i know Sam" Rachel said keeping her forhead on his. "You are going to make one girl very happy" She added. She hated going on the date, doing this to him.
"You can't control who you love" He said leaning back into his seat. "I'll see you Monday".
Rachel nodded. "Thanks Sam" She smiled. "We should go out again as friends" She added opening the door.
"I would love too, you can be my wing man" he added. Both of them burst of laughing.
"I'll think about it" She said closing the door.
While walking to the door her anger against Finn came back. He nearly kissed her tonight but what he forget to mention was he slept with Chloe last night she thought to herself.
When she walked into the house she went into the living room and found Finn watching telly.
Rachel rolled her eyes. "Wheres my brother?" She asked.
Finn turned around surprised he could hear the anger in her voice.
"He just drove Santana home, he will be back soon" Finn said walking towards her. Since feeling her cheek before that's all he has wanted to do since.
He brought his hand to her cheek but she slapped it off.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest.
I..it'S..i don;t know" Finn finally said.
"Your not flirting with me are you?" She asked.
Finn looked at her with shock. He didn't understand why she was being like this.
Rachel shook her head. "You make me sick" She said not wanting to cry. "Were just friends nothing more and maybe even less" She said looking at him in the eyes. "You won't get in my pants, i'm not that girl and i don't need you" She added turning away.
"Rach. I'm sorry" he said watching her leave.
"Forget about it" She replied but not turning around to face him. "By the way i seen Chloe tonight and she thanks you for yesterday" Rachel added before walking again.
Dammit Chloe! Finn thought to himself now he understood why she was so cold towards him.
Finn sat back down. I will show her she can trust me.
