Rachel sat on the couch just hoping Finn would say anything. They have been quiet for 20 minutes and it was starting to bug Rachel. Simone and Kurt decided to go out to celebrate together. Rachel and Finn needed some time alone. Simone really didn't want to face the famous Finn Hudson quite yet.
"Are we going to be like this all night?" Finn just looked around.
"Finn please say something." He looked at her unsure what to say. How was he supposed to respond to some girl calling his girlfriend/ fiancee babe.
"How long?" She stared at him confused.
"What do you mean how long?" He shook his head.
"I mean how long have you been gay? was I just your beard? I can't believe you cheated on me again." Rachel scuffed rolling her eyes.
"Finn you know everything about me as my best friend and my boyfriend. You know I don't put a label on my sexuality. I grew up with two caring fathers. To me love is love no what gender is it. Also I would never cheat on you again. It hurt us the first time and I told myself and you that I wouldn't go there." Finn looks away from her.
"Then who's the girl calling you babe? are you two hook up buddies or something?" Rachel glared at him.
"Incase you forgot Finn, you put me on the train on our wedding day and set me free while you honored your father by going into the army. Simone was my first friend in New York and she's mine and Kurt's roommate, she calls me babe in a friendship way and I call her Hon. I don't do hook up buddies." He looked down.
"I wish I never did that. The first time I was all set for us to be married then Quinn gets hurt. The second time I put you on a train to New York. I'm sorry for hurting you that day. I was doing it out of love. We could be married now." Rachel sighs.
"Did you eat before you came here?" He nodded not looking at her. He didn't know what to do anymore. His time in the Army was useless.
"Do you want to watch a movie or something?" He grabbed her hand making her stare at him and laced her fingers with his.
"Can I just hold you please?" She nodded slowly and moved closer to him. She felt him let go of her hand and wrap his arms around her stomach and kissed the top of her head just like he use to do when they were together in high school. She needed to know something.
"Finn?"
"Mmm?"
"Why aren't you in uniform?" He looked down at her.
"Can we talk about this in a morning. I just want to hold the love of my life. It's been months since I've seen you." She looked up at him. He pressed his lips to her cheek then went back to holding her. Rachel just rests herself against his chest.
The next morning Rachel woke up before Finn did and walked out into the kitchen area. Last night was very awkward. Simone ignored her all night and Kurt just talked to Finn before going to his side of the room. She feels like their making her feel like the bad guy. She didn't do anything.
The first person she sees is Simone is sitting at table sipping on her coffee.
"Good morning." Simone mutters. Rachel sits down saying good morning.
"Did you two have fun reconnecting?" Simone asked her.
"Why are you mad at me?" Simone puts her cup down.
"I'm not mad at you per say. I mad at that boyfriend or fiance of yours. You been down for months and he shows up and you two are suddently back in love? I never thought you would give into him so quickly." Rachel stared at her.
"We didn't do anything Simone. We just layed there not talking. He really didn't say a word to me. He won't tell me anything." Simone took another sip of her coffee.
"You see? it's been months and he's now here and it's awkward as hell? You deserve better and you know it." Rachel frowns.
"I know but shouldn't I atleast try with him?" Simone shook her head no.
"He hurt you in the past Rae. Are you really going to forgive him after put you on a train on your wedding day?"
She never got to answer her because Finn comes out rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He stared at both of them.
"Hi good morning." Simone and Rachel just stared at him.
"Am I in trouble or something?" He joked.
"Have a seat Finn. I want to know what's going on." Finn looked away from them.
"You can have breakfast after we talk. Please have a seat." Finn sits down clearing his throat.
"I'll leave you two to talk." Simone gets up and kissed Rachel's forehead then walked off. Finn stared at Rachel.
"You sure nothing is going on with you two?" Rachel sighs getting annoyed.
"Finn she's a very affectionate person. Stop it okay? Focus on on what's going on between us." He nodded.
"Baby I'm sorry." She scuffs.
"Don't Finn Hudson. I don't want hear baby from you. I don't understand what's going on, why aren't you in your uniform?" He looked at her.
"I'm not in the army." Rachel started getting angry.
"So you lied to me and had me suffering for months? what the hell have you been doing this whole time?" She yelled.
"I was in the army for a couple of weeks. One day I was cleaning Rachel." She stared at him raising an eyebrow.
"They let you name your rifle. It goes off right through my thigh. I was lucky it didn't do major damage." She nodded still listening.
"Well I got a semi honorable discharge and I have been backpacking through Georgia before deciding to come here." Rachel just stared at her.
"What are you planning on doing since your now here?" He shrugs.
"Is it okay if I stay here?" She nodded.
"Of course Finn I'm not going to have you sleep on the street. What do you want to do about our relationship?" He grabbed her hand.
"I want us to start over. I know I hurt you but I'm here to stay." Rachel placed her hand on his sighing.
"Are you sure?" He nodded with a tired smile.
"Yeah so can I make breakfast with you?" She smiles saying sure. She was going to see where it goes.
With Finchel.
Finn was really trying to make it up to Rachel but it seems that Simone was trying so hard to get between them. Simone was out with some of her friends and Kurt was working late so it was just him and Rachel. They are at Sardi's on a little date.
"You remeber when we came here Junior year?" Rachel smiled nodding. She remebered that day very well. She met one of her idols that day.
"Yes I remeber. It was very romantic up until I wouldn't kiss you and just went back to the hotel." He frowns remebering that moment.
"But that's in the past and we're good now right?" She just shrugged.
"It's going to take some time for us to go back to where we started Finn. I mean I don't even think we have a right to say we're engaged anymore."
He noticed that the ring wasn't on her finger. "Why did you take it off?" Rachel looked down at her bare hand.
"Because you set me free. I thought that was a clue that we were over but then you kissed me and I wasn't sure." He sighs.
"You right but I'm back now and we can try to pick up where we left off. We can hold off being engaged if it makes you happy." She nodded.
"I think that's for the best." Rachel took a bite of her food. He did the same.
Finn looked down at his plate knowing this wasn't working as he planned. He really thought Rachel would jump into his arms with happy tears and they would get back together.
Now here they were at Sardi's barely looking at each other. Their conversations were awkward and he wanted to kiss her but she's not up for it. Rachel wasn't even trying to hold his hand. He knows that she loved doing that when they were together. He really screwed up.
"Do you want to walk in the park after this?' She looked up at him.
"Sure that's sounds fine." He frowns and they finish their dinner in silent. Yeah this wasn't how he pictured his night would be.
At The Apartment.
Simone walked into her apartment hearing how quiet it was. She enjoy dinner with her best friends but she missed hearing Rachel's voice and her laugh. She was all alone while both of her roommates were out. She hated Finn for showing up two days ago. She was enjoying her time with Rachel and now he was back.
She walked to her side sighing and sits down on her bed taking off her shoes then climbed under the covers not bothering to change her clothes and closed her eyes.
Simone's Dream.
Simone felt somebody running their fingers through her hair. She opened her eyes to see Rachel staring at her.
"Rachel?" She smiled down at her. Rachel just kept running her fingers through her hair.
"Your so beautiful." Rachel tells her softly. Simone sat up staring into her eyes. Both of them held each others hands and smiled.
"Your gorgeous." Simone whispers. Rachel leans in and slowly pressed her lips against hers.
Simone smiled about deepen the kiss when she felt somebody shaking her.
"Simone? Simone wake up." She looked at her dream Rachel confused. Somebody was really shaking her.
End of Dream.
"Simone?" She shut up looking around and saw Kurt looking at her.
"What the fuck Kurt?" He says sorry hiding his face. He didn't want to get hit.
"Chill alright? I'm not going to hit you. Why did you wake me?" She said taking the covers off her.
"Sorry I wanted to tell somebody about my day went and since Finn and Rachel aren't back. Your my next choice." Simone growls just hearing Finn's name.
"You really like her huh?" Simone nodded.
"I can't help it Kurt. She's so beautiful. She brightens my day everytime I hear her talk, laugh or sing. I just want to strangle Finn for coming back." She tells her.
"You want to talk about it over some ice cream?" She pouts nodding and they go get some ice cream and sits down on the couch.
"Are you ever going to tell her how you feel?" She stared at him like he was crying.
"How can I when your step brother is here?" Kurt stared at his new friend.
"Trust me she's not that happy he's here. She would have been super happy and she's not. I hate to say this but I don't think it's going to work out for them."
Simone really hopes it doesn't. She wanted to tell Rachel how she felt but she can't with Finn in the way. Hopefully he'll soon realize that he lost his chance with her.
"It's my turn Finn Hudson." Simone thought taking another bite of her high school.
