Under the mask

Chapter 24

It took him a couple of seconds to realise that it wasn't Rachel he was kissing. He pulled away immediately and screwed up his face

He got up and ran out of the office and into the bathroom. Did he really just do that?!

He felt sick to his stomach with himself and all he wanted to do was punch himself in the face, HARD

It was his fault, he kissed back! Fuck!!

He hated himself, he had to tell Rachel, he couldn't keep this big of a secret. This is going to screw everything up with them

Why did he have to kiss back?!?!

He looked at himself in the big mirror in the bathroom and almost puked. He actually slapped himself. He turned on the tap and splashed his face with cold water

It was the first day aswell! The fucking first day and it was already a fucking disaster

He slid down the wall and just sat there thinking about how he was going to tell rach

He heard a faint knock on the door, it was Melissa's voice. He didn't open the door tho.

"Finn? Are you in there honey?" She asked

She always called him honey, she was like a sister to him, he needed to tell somebody so.....

He slowly stood up and opened the door

The tears were already making little watery paths down his face.
Melissa got worried and asked him what was wrong and they sat down

Fuck knows where Olivia was

"What's wrong sweetie?" She soothed

He sniffled and wiped his eyes before telling her what had happened. Once he had finished, he looked at her

"I'm gonna kill the bitch" she said getting up but finn pulled her back down

He laughed at her seriousness, nobody hurt her finn

"Why?! She deserves to be slapped by me and Rachel!!" She shouted and looked at him with anger in her eyes, burning through him

"It was as much her fault as it was mine mel, you can't just be pissed at her" he said calmly

She thought for a moment

"Still, I'm still gonna kill her!" She said harshly

"How am I going to tell my rach? Please mel your married and have a son, please tell me How I can fix this" he said huskily from the crying

She thought carefully and her face turned soft

"Sweetheart, you need to tell her. You deserve a slap. What you did finn was bad but deal with the pain. I'm sorry but it's the only way. Let me deal with Olivia" she hugged him and let him go

"Go home, I'll cover your work, tell me what happens with Rachel" she said ruffling his hair and softly smiling at him

"Thanks Melissa, I'll tell you tomorrow" he said before leaving the hellhole he called his job

He got into his truck and drove to the nearest Asda to get rachel flowers, chocolate, wine and stuff

Once he got what he needed he bought the stuff and put it in his truck and drove to Rachel's apartment

It was just past 4 so she would be home

When he pulled up he got out the bags and headed upstairs and into the elevator and opened the door to the apartment

He got greeted by Rachel giving him a big kiss when he came in, she was pestering him about how it went and why he was a little early

He got the courage to tell her what happened, he needed to

He guided her to the couch and held her hands in his

She didn't know what was going in right now but she didn't question anything

"Rach I have something to tell you" he started

He took a few deep breathes before staring

"Today in work I have an assistant called Olivia.... she was nice and all and we hit it off pretty well. It kinda got weird... she was flirting with me and I hadn't realised that I was flirting back with her, it wasn't intentional rach I promise! And we kissed but I thought It was you and....." he said really fast and was crying and he was a big mess

Rachel didn't know what to do she wanted to hold him and say it was ok

But he kissed another woman and she couldn't handle him kissing another woman except her romantically

She now had tears streaming down her cheeks

"Do you love me?" She asked sniffling

His head shot up as quick as lighting at her question

"Of course i love you" he said, he was a little offended that she really just asked that question

"If you loved me you wouldn't have kissed her" she said before getting up and walking into her room and locking the door

He was disgusted with himself but he wasn't leaving

He needed to get things right
