No Strings

chapter 10

"Rehearsed my lines. Quinn was at work all day and I had nothing else to do. At the moment I'm just laying on my bed." She paused, "I wish you were here with me." She mumbled.

"I wish I was too." He whispered back, "What time does Quinn get off of work?"

"She gets off at midnight. Why?"

"I'll be there in ten minutes." With that Finn hung up the phone and started walking out.

"I'll be back in a few hours!" Finn yelled to Puck.

"Alright!"

Finn walked out of the apartment building and get a cab to Rachel's apartment. He arrived at the apartment fifteen minutes later.

"Finn!" Rachel squealed and threw her arms around him.

"Someone's happy to see me." Finn said as he lifted her up a bit and walked into the apartment so he could close the door.

"I have been bored all day and now I won't be as bored since your hear now. And I never got my goodbye kiss." Rachel said with a pout.

Finn chuckled and kissed her lips for a while before pulling away, "Happy?"

Rachel smiled and bit her lip, "Yeah. Come on. I wanna cuddle." Rachel said as she pulled him over to the sofa and sat him down before she sat on his lap and buried her face in his neck.

Finn wrapped his arms tightly around her and closed his eyes as he leaned back against the sofa.

"You're like a big cuddly bear." Rachel giggled.

Finn laughed, "I've been told."

Rachel smiled, "So what do you want to do?"

"Whatever you want to do."

"First I want you to unbutton your shirt." Rachel said as she sat up a little.

Finn raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"For my own pleasure." Rachel shrugged, "I'll take off my shorts if you do."

"Okay." Finn said as he unbuttoned his shirt while Rachel stood up to take off her shorts.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Finn asked as Rachel sat back on his lap.

"I have a question."

"Ask me anything." Finn said as he softly kissed her lips.

Rachel kissed him back for a while before pulling away, "So, Puck said something this morning that caught my attention."

"What?"

"He said something about you going through a lot and for me to take care of you...what did he mean by that?"

Finn sighed, "The two serious relationships I've had didn't end too well."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Finn shook his head, "It's fine. It was years ago."

Rachel nodded, "So, what happened?"

"In my first relationship I had a situation similar to Puck. Except, she wasn't drunk, we were together for a while, and she was really pregnant."

"...so, you have a son?" Rachel's eyes widened.

"Rachel, can I finish?" Finn said as he tightened his arms around her waist when he felt her pulling away.

Rachel sighed, "Yeah."

"Like I was saying. She was pregnant. I wasn't ready for a child but I still stuck with her through the first few months. I paid for doctor appointments and whatever else she wanted me to pay for. We moved in together then three weeks after getting her settled into my apartment I over heard her talking to someone on the phone. I didn't think anything of it until she said something about him being the dad. After that we broke up I moved in with Puck and we've been roommates ever since. Even when my second serious girlfriend and around. She also cheated on me, except she didn't get pregnant, she had sex with another man in my room and admitted that she had only been with me because I play football at first, but then she had really fallen in love with me, but she still cheated so...I broke up with her. She didn't take it well either. She started following me everywhere. Every girl that I talked to she would threaten. I told you we broke up two years ago, but the last time I saw her was about nine months ago."

Rachel's eye widened, "Wow."

"Yeah, I kind of have trust issues too so..."

"That's understandable." Rachel nodded, "I'm sorry."

"You never did me anything. You haven't reason to be sorry."

"I know, but I'm sorry for how you've been treated."

"It's okay. It was years ago."

Rachel nodded, "Do you think that bitch still stalks you and is planning my death?"

Finn chuckled, "Maybe." He laughed when he saw Rachel's head shot up and she looked up at him terrified, "I'm kidding. The last I heard, she went back to Chicago with her parents for a while."

"Good, I don't have to worry about some crazy bitch trying to kill me."

Finn laughed, "Do I have to worry about some crazy exes?"

"No, mine weren't crazy, we just fell out of love with each other. We got bored. It was mutual understandings."

"I guess I'm just attracted to crazy girls then...you're not crazy are you?"

Rachel laughed, "No, you have nothing to worry about."

Finn laughed, "Good."

Rachel sighed, "Do you want some ice cream?"

"Yes, please."

"Okay, you can turn on whatever you want and I'll get us some ice cream."
