Best Friends

Untitled Part 8

Finn's POV:

If I have to be honest, I've been nervous all day about this "date" with Rachel.  I've liked her forever and I want more than anything to tell her that and be with her for real.  I want to love Rachel for the rest of my life.

I told her I would pick her up at eight and when she came out in her dress, I almost passed out, she was the prettiest girl I have ever laid eyes one.  I think I even felt a spark when I helped her into my truck.

"You're beautiful, Rach," I say a little shaky, but calm. I see her look away and her cheeks turn a tint of pink.

"Thanks Finny, you look handsome yourself," now it was my turn to blush.  "So are you ever gonna tell me where we are going? Because it's getting dark and I need to make sure you're not planning on killing me," she says with a wink, Gosh is she trying to kill me?

"How'd you figure out my plan," I respond with my half smile, all she does is smile back, it's quite cute actually. "If you must know, I'm taking you outside of Lima to a little old lake we used to go to as kids," I can see the excitement grow in her face, man I hope this works.

For the rest of the car ride we sing songs and talk about our day until we arrive.

I lift the lid covering the bed of my truck, revealing a bunch of blankets and pillows, along with a box of food off to the side. I'm starting to get nervous, but I know I can't back down, I think I'm falling in love with Rachel, and I need her to know.

"Finn, this is beautiful! Thank you so much! You are my best friend in the entire world!" she says while pulling me into a hug. Dang she may be tiny but she is sure mighty.

"Rach, will you dance with me?" I sheepishly ask while turning on the radio once again.

"Of course," she responds by grasping my hand.

I pull her in close and let her rest her small head on my chest while we are stepping in a circle to the beat of "Faithfully" by Journey. I start to sing into her ear and I can feel her grin against my chest. She looks up at me with those beautiful, dark brown pools of chocolate she calls eyes. I start to move in and she does to.  Before I knew it, our lips were touching and sparks were flying.  I finally know what its like to kiss Rachel Barbra Berry, and it feels amazing!

Rachel's POV:

I can't believe I'm kissing my best friend.  I'm ruining everything, but I like him way to much to let anything happen. The kiss ended and I was kind of sad about it. I wasn't exactly sure what to say so I just start dancing again with him and singing the rest of "Faithfully".

After about an hour or so, he asked if I wanted to sit in the bed of his truck.  I gladly accepted and had to have him lift me into it since I am small.

Once I get in, he crawls in after me and sits right next to me, closer than we have been in a while. He pulls one of the blankets around us and hands me a bottle of water.  I thank him and then its back to silence. I look over at him and see he is smiling like an idiot looking at his feet.

"What's up?" I ask him, not wanting to bring up the best kiss of my life.

"Rach, I need to tell you something, and I need you to not talk until I am finished, okay?" he inquires. I nod my head and plead for him to go on.

"Rachel, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love everything about you, from your height to your personality, you're awesome.  I don't even remember when we weren't friends, I mean we always have been and forever will be friends and I just can't wait for that. I am so thankful that we are best friends. I need you to know something I have been hiding from you though for the last couple of years, more like forever. Rachel Barbra Berry, you are amazingly beautiful and talented and I really like you, like "like like" and I want to try us out Rach. I don't want to ruin our friendship but it hurts not being together, it feels like something is always missing from me and I hate when that happens, but when I am with you, I feel complete," there was a pause or two," now you can speak," he says with his adorable smile. I have some tears in my eyes and can't believe this is happening. Before I know it, I jumped on him and started hugging him tighter than I ever thought was possible.

"I like you too Finn!" I say while I am in his arms.

"So what do you say? Are you going to be my girlfriend.... or not?" he asks, a little worried when I took a little bit to respond.

"I will most certainly be your girlfriend,"  I say through a smile.

The rest of the night was perfect, we talked about our new relationship and sang and danced. To bad it had to come to an end when we realized I had to be home in twenty minutes.  It was the best night of my life and I got an amazing boyfriend out of the whole thing. Monday is definitely going to be cool, I can't wait to see Finn again.
