Your Heart Beats Like A Drum

Chapter 10: The Witness

So now for some drama... Yup, Quinn is very evil in my eyes... Let's see what you guys think... Enjoy! :)

Rachel woke up to find herself in someone's arms. She tried to lift her head up off the bed but everything began to spin. Where was she and who was she with?

Once her head stopped spinning, she began to observe the body next to her. Rachel looked at it for a minute and then the pieces came together. It was Finn.

The moment she thought of his name, the memories from the previous night came rushing into her head. She saw images of her and Finn at the bar, her drinking, them coming back to his apartment...and then...oh no...her sucking him off.

She lifted the covers and saw that he was indeed naked from the waist down... and that he was a very nice size. Rachel giggled at the thought but then quickly remembered that she was in an awful situation.

How could she have done that? He has a girlfriend. And how did she let herself get so carried away? She usually didn't drink that much and though it hurt to concentrate too much, Rachel remembered her fight with Noah.

Rachel needed to get out of there immediately but first she would need to get out his grip. His huge arm was keeping her attached to his chest, and she was struggling to get it off. After a few attempts, she felt it lift up. Rachel looked curiously at him, realising that her movements had woke him up. Finn turned his head towards her and smiled at her when their eyes made contact.

"Good morning, gorgeous."

Rachel was too embarrassed by what she had done to let the conversation continue. She quickly got up off the bed.

"I have to go. I'm so sorry about last night," she quickly said and then turned on her heels to run towards the front door.

She ran out of the apartment and was racing down the staircase. Just as she was about to go through the building doors, a voice called out her name and she turned around to face it.

Finn was running towards her, with thankfully his pants back on, trying to get her attention. She stopped and he quickly caught up.

"Rachel," Finn panted," what are you talking about? Why would you apologize for it?"

Rachel was shocked by what he said. Was he not ashamed to have those things done to him when he had a girlfriend? How could he not be angry with her?

"Quinn..." was all that Rachel could manage to say.

"What about her? Rachel, come upstairs. We really need to talk. You wouldn't let me explain things last night."

Finn extended his hand to her and she hesitantly took it and followed him up the stairs. They reached the apartment and he walked over to the couch. He sat down and then motioned for her to join him.

She sat down next to him and he began to talk, "Rachel, I wanted to tell you this last night. I broke up with Quinn, yesterday morning. I told her that I couldn't be with her and that continuing the relationship when I wasn't fully committed wasn't fair to her. Though the real reason was-"

"You dumped her?" interrupted Rachel in shock. Maybe that kiss had meant something.

"Obviously, Rach. I don't love Quinn. I care about you."

"Me? But you've been with Quinn this whole time... "

"And you've been with Puck...and still are," replied Finn with sadness in his eyes.

Rachel had completely forgotten that Finn believed they were together. She wanted to explain but didn't know how without sounding awful.

Luckily, Finn continued," After our kiss, I knew that I'd be lying if I told Quinn I loved her. There is something here. Between us. I felt it when we kissed and I know you felt it too. I dumped Quinn because I want to be with you. I was hoping you felt the same way."
