No Strings

chapter 19

After about three hours of shopping they finally decided to get some lunch before going back to Finn's apartment so she could start cooking for him before he got home.

"Finn is getting off on time today?" Kurt asked as Rachel searched for the hidden key Finn told her he kept under his rug just incase she needed it.

"Yeah," Rachel said as she stood back up to unlock the door, "he texted me during one of his breaks and told me that he was getting off early." Kurt nodded as they walked into the apartment after Rachel put the key back, "Do you plan on staying for dinner or do you and Blaine have plans tonight?"

"Blaine planned something for us to do tonight, so after I see my brother I'm going to leave to start getting ready."

Rachel nodded as she looked in the refrigerator, "I'm so glad I made Finn get groceries yesterday. Him and Puck never have any food in this house unless they know I'm coming over so I can cook."

"Finn knows how to cook himself though."

"I know! He told me. But, he has never cooked for me before. Well, he has made breakfast for me once or twice."

"He's going to. Believe it or not Finn is a little romantic and will eventually make a candle lit dinner and trust me, Finn is a really good cook, he gets it from his mom. It's me and my dad that can't cook." Kurt laughed remembering the times when he and his dad were on their own and almost burned their house down many of times from attempting to cook, "Finn just doesn't like cooking. That's all."

"I've noticed." Rachel laughed, "But, I like cooking for him. Don't tell him I said that though." Kurt laughed and nodded just as Finn walked through the door.

"Hey babe." Finn said as he walked over to Rachel and gave her a kiss.

"Hey Finny. How was practice?"

Finn shrugged as he took a water bottle out of the fridge, "It was good I guess. Hey Kurt."

"Hey Finn."

"What did you guys do all day?"

"We went shopping."

"Oh God." Finn laughed, "You didn't insult Rachel too much did you?"

"No!"

"He only criticized my whole wardrobe and hated everything I picked up."

"You'll get used to it." Finn laughed.

Kurt rolled his eyes, "Well, I'm going to leave since you guys think I'm so mean."

"Awe, come on Kurt." Finn laughed, "I'm sorry."

"Mhm, but I really need to go. Blaine and I have plans for tonight."

"Wait..where is Michele? Why hasn't she come see me yet?"

"She's still napping. I think we wore her out today with all the shopping."

"My poor baby." Finn laughed, "Anyways, bye Kurt! Have fun with Blaine tonight!"

"Oh I will!" Kurt winked and laughed at the disgusted look Finn gave him, "Give Michele a kiss for me!" Kurt yelled before walking out the door.

Finn shook his head before turning back to Rachel, "What ya cooking?"

"Roast, mashed potatoes, and corn."

"Sounds good." Finn said as he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, "I missed you." He whispered in her ear as he kissed the side of her neck.

Rachel smiled, "I missed you too."

Finn smiled and rested his chin on her shoulder, "I like coming home to you."
