No Strings

chapter 16

Finn walked into Rachel's room and raised his eyebrows when he saw her in only her bra and underwear, "Ummm..."

"I don't know what to wear!"

"What you had on was perfectly fine, baby girl."

"No it wasn't!" Rachel whined.

"Rach, you're just meeting one of my friends. Not my whole family."

"Yeah, but-"

"No buts." Finn cupped her cheeks with his hands and kissed her lips softly, "You're really cute you know."

Rachel bit her lip and kissed his lips on more time before walking over to her bed, where she had her clothes that Finn brought her today laid out, and picking up the sundress. While Rachel was getting ready Finn decided to call Corinne.

"Hey, Finny Bear, you and Rachel still coming over?"

"Yeah, Rachel is just putting on her clothes. We'll be there in like ten minutes. She doesn't live far from you."

"Okay, I'll be here waiting. See you in a few."

"Alright, bye." Finn hung up the phone and wrapped his arms around Rachel's waist, "You ready baby girl?"

"Yeah, let's go." Rachel took his hand and they walked out of the apartment.

"Finny Bear!" Corinne yelled as threw her arms around him tightly.

"Hey rinne." He said as he laughed and hugged her back momentarily before taking Rachel's hand, "Corinne, this is Rachel."

Corinne didn't say anything. She just looked Rachel up and down a few times before finally smiling and holding her hand out to Rachel, "Nice to finally meet you."

Rachel tightened her grip on Finn's hand and shook her head, "Nice to finally meet you too."

Corinne smiled and opened the door wider as she continued to eye Rachel, "Come in make yourselves at home." She said as she led them farther inside the penthouse.

"This is really big." Finn said as he looked around the penthouse with Rachel, only because she wouldn't let go of his hand, "Maybe I should get a penthouse. Living with Puck isn't that great anymore." He said more to himself as he looked at the pictures on her wall.

"You should get the one on the top floor. It's the biggest one and whoever it used to belong to just moved out about a month ago."

"Hmmm...maybe. Anyways, where is your bathroom?"

"Down the hall the first room to the left."

"Thanks," Finn looked down at Rachel and chuckled, "You can't come with me to the bathroom."

"You're just going to leave me here with her!?" Rachel whisper yelled, "I think she had been judging me ever since I walked in."

Finn chuckled and kissed her forehead, "You'll be fine."

Rachel sighed and kissed his lips, "Okay, don't be long." Rachel pouted.

Finn chuckled, "I'll try not to." He said and walked away.

Rachel took a deep breath before looking over at Corinne, "So um-"

"Finn told you I don't like you didn't he?"

"Umm...yeah. I don't understand why because I've never met you before."

"Well, you hurt him so I automatically don't like you."

"I told him I was sorry for that. I was just overwhelmed and the whole week he was gone I hated myself for hurting him so much. When he came back and told us about his week, especially his week with you, that hurt me more than anything because I hated that he was kissing and touching someone that wasn't me. So, we could say I don't like you very much either."
