No Strings

chapter 22

"Finn?" Rachel said as she walked into the apartment.

"In the kitchen."

"What smells so good?"

"I am making lasagna and garlic bread."

"You're cooking for me." Rachel smiled.

Finn placed the lasagna in the oven before turning towards Rachel and smiling, "Hey beautiful." Finn bent down and kissed her lips softly, "How was your day?"

"Great.." Rachel said as she tried not to make it obvious that the kiss made her dizzy.

Finn smiled and led her over to the couch, "Do you want wine or champagne?" Finn asked as he walked over to his wine and champagne cabinet and took out two bottles of each, "I have 1937 Domaine Leroy Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru and 1989 Emmanuel Rouget Cros Parantoux and I have Gout de Diamants and Boerl & Kroff Brut champagne."

"Finn...do you know how expensive all of those are? How did you even get those?"

"My great..grandfather, I think it was, passed it down to my grandmother who passed it down to my mother who passed it down to me and Kurt. These aren't the only bottles that have been passed down. I have a lot more and Kurt has a few. My great grandfather had this thing for expensive wine and champagne and in his will or whatever he said that he wanted all of his wine bottles to be kept in the family so ever since the bottles have been passed down generation to generation and more bottles have been added on." Finn shrugged.

"Wow.." Rachel mumbled, "Can we open the 1937 one?"

Finn put all the others back in the cabinet before walking back into the kitchen to open the bottle and pour some in a glass.

"Here you go." Finn said as he handed her the glass when he walked back over to her.

Rachel smiled up at him, "Thank you."

"No problem." Finn wrapped an arm around her and put his feet up on the coffee table, "How was your day?"

"It was good. Quinn and I got caught up on each other's life."

"Really? How is she? Is she showing yet?"

"She is great actually. She said that her morning sickness is gone and she's glowing, you can see how happy she is and no, she's not really showing."

Finn nodded, "Did you guys go shopping?"

"Yes, we bought some baby stuff."

"But you don't know what the sex is yet."

"We bought things that could be for a boy or a girl and Quinn bought some maternity clothes."

Finn nodded, "Did you buy anything?"

"No, Kurt practically bankrupted me. Besides, I already bought everything I need."

"When are you going to put it on for me?"

"I don't know yet. I mean you did call me loud mouth today."

"I did not call you loud mouth."

"But, you agreed with Puck. You were supposed to be on my side."

"Puck is my bro though!"

"And I'm your girlfriend."

"You're right. You're right. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Rachel kissed his lips, "This wine is so good."

"I'm glad you think so." Finn said as he stood up to check on the food.
