No Strings

chapter 22

Finn sat down the wine and the glasses and took off his clothes before getting in the tub behind her, "Now I remember why I don't take baths." Finn laughed when he got in the tub and his legs were too long for it so he just bent them, "Another reason why I want to move."

Rachel laughed along with him before looking up at him, "You plan on moving?"

"That's what I wanted to tell you. I plan on moving into the penthouse that Corinne was telling me about that is in her building."

"That would be nice. Then we won't have to worry about Puck walking in at any moment and we'll have the place to ourselves."

"Call me crazy, but it sounds like you plan on living with me Ms. Berry." Finn mumbled as he kissed her shoulder.

"No, I-I was just saying for wh-when I come over."

Finn laughed, "I know, I was kidding." Finn kissed her cheek, "You want me to give you your massage now?"

"Yes please." Rachel said as she got comfortable, "So, why do you want to move? Other than because of the bath tub."

"It's time for me to have my own place now. Living with Puck has been great but, ever since you and Quinn came into our lives it's like this roomates thing is getting old and it's time for us to be separated. Besides, him and Quinn plan on moving in here together anyways."

"Why don't they just move into my apartment? They're always there anyways."

"Quinn doesn't want to make you have to look for an apartment so soon."

Rachel shrugged, "I wouldn't mind. I could just live with you until I find one."

"Then that would be pointless because you wouldn't really look for an apartment because one, I wouldn't let you, and two, you wouldn't want to because I'm too fun to live with."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really. You wouldn't come here everyday if you didn't think I was fun."

"No, I'm always here because if I'm not here you'll call me and then want me to stay up all night talking to you until you go to sleep."

"If I remember correctly, I think it was you who would call me at midnight talking about some, 'Finny, I need you, can you come hold me?' and then you proceeded to keep me on the phone for three hours until you went to sleep."

Rachel laughed, "That was once!"

"That was definitely more than once."

"Okay, it was more than once, but-"

"Nope, admit it, you like being with me."

"You know. I really like this massage you're giving me." Rachel said ignoring him.

"Come on Rachy." Finn smiled and started kissing the side of her neck.

"The ma-massage is.." Rachel's voice trailed off as she tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes, "Finn.."

Finn pulled away and looked down at her and laughed.

"Wait, no, why did you stop."

"You never admitted that you like being with me."

"Dammit Finn!" Rachel turned around moved so that she was straddling his waist, "I love being with you. I can't go to sleep without you next to me or hearing your voice. Hell, I can't live without you, so yeah, maybe we should move in together. Is that what you want to hear?"

"You are so sexy." Finn whispered with wide eyes.

"Shut up and take me to bed."

Finn nodded and stood up with her holding on to him.
