Rachel was sitting on the lounge pouring over her study notes when Finn walked in the door. He seemed surprised to see her there.

‘Hey’ he smiled

Removing her glasses ‘hey yourself’ she smiled back taking the opportunity to look him over. She felt as though she had hardly seen him the past three months. They had both been so busy with exams and work that they didn’t get any quality time together at all anymore.

‘I thought you had a date?’ he asked her then.

shit Rachel cursed under her breath, she should have remembered that Finn had a great memory for things like that especially when it came to who she was spending her time with ‘Yeah I do, but it’s not to later’ she told him.

‘Oh okay’ he smiled ‘I have to work tonight so I better get going’ he told her before walking off into the bathroom.

Thirty minutes later Finn was at Burn the nightclub where he did bar work with Michael.

‘Hey’ Michael greeted his friend, he felt like he hadn’t seen him outside of work for months now and not for the first time wondered what was going on with him.

‘Hey’ Finn replied glumly. He had been feeling like shit for days now but after seeing Rachel he felt twice as bad.

The place wasn’t busy yet so Michael took the opportunity to question him about what was up.

‘I’ve really fucked up Mike’ he replied.

‘What have you done?’ he asked.

Finn looked up ‘I’ve met someone’ he told him.

‘What do you mean you’ve met someone?’ Michael asked confused. All the gang new everything about Finn and Rachel and postponing forever, none of them really understood it but they accepted it.

‘I’ve been seeing someone for the past three months and I don’t know how to tell Rachel’ he explained.

‘Oh’ Michael frowned ‘what the hell are you doing Finnegan? You have this top chick at home who loves you to death why are you wasting your time with these bimbo’s’ he bitched at his friend. Michael was also more than aware from his relationship with Maria that Rachel wasn’t as into the whole dating other people thing as Finn was, and he knew if Rachel found out about Finn breaking the rules of the agreement it would shatter her.

‘I don’t know’ Finn sighed ‘and that’s not all’ he added.

‘What else could there be?’

‘You know that girl that Rachel and Maria are always bitching about?’ Finn asked.

‘Yeah Selena or whatever’ he shrugged, he usually tuned out when they started gossiping.

‘Serena’ Finn corrected.

‘Please tell me your not?’ Michael demanded then. When Finn didn’t move to deny it Michael just shook his head.

‘Fuck’ he cursed.

‘I know’ he told him knowing what his friend was thinking.

‘End it’ Michael told him then.

‘I know that’s what I should do’ Finn replied.

‘Then why don’t you?’ Michael asked.

‘It’s different with her, I feel things’ he told him.

‘What do you mean you feel things?’ Michael asked incredulous. There was no way his friend was standing here telling him that he was going to give up his forever for a feeling. Even though Finn had casually dated over the past three and a half years things with him and Rachel had always been great.

‘I don’t know’ Finn cried. Michael was about to respond when his girlfriend made her presence known at the bar.

‘Hey’ Michael greeted her leaning over to give her a peck on the lips.

‘Hey yourself Space boy’ she smiled back ‘hey stranger’ she turned to Finn then.

‘Hi Ria’ he smiled before moving away from her to take care of some people that were now waiting to be served.

Three hours later the place had picked up but it still wasn’t busy for a Friday night. Finn was leaning against the bar sipping on a cherry coke when he felt someone reach up and place their wet lips on his neck. ‘Hey sexy’ she whispered.

Finn smiled he would recognize that voice and that smell anywhere he was just surprised that she was there and he realised how much he had missed her.

Turning around ‘hey yourself’ he replied his eyes taking in how sexy she looked tonight. Oh and did she look hot, Finn couldn’t remembered the last time he had seen anyone ooze sexiness like she did right now in her very short and tight black leather miniskirt which was accompanied by a pair of knee high boots and a small red tank top.

‘Wow’ he mumbled.

‘Thank you’ she grinned she was very happy that the outfit had the desired effect.

‘Are you on your break?’ she asked then. Finn shook his had unable to form words his eyes still glued to her body.

‘Can you take a break and come dance with me?’ she asked.

Finn finally raised his eyes to meet hers then when he realised she has asked him something, the thought of being on the dace floor with her body grinding against his was the best offer he had in three months he realised.

‘Let me ask’ he smiled.

‘Hey Rach’ Michael smiled.

‘Hey Mike’ she smiled back.

Less than two minutes later Finn was back with a grin that told the story ‘I’ve got half an hour’ he told her letting her grab his hand and lead them to the dance floor.

The minute they stepped foot on the dance floor Finn wasted no time pulling Rachel's body flush against his own, enjoying the feel of having her with him. He was beyond confused right now. Everything about being with Rachel was as perfect as it always was but he knew that he had to tell her what had been going on in the past three months. Michael was right he was being an idiot. He hadn’t meant to get involved with Serena it had happened by accident and by the time he realised that she was the girl Rachel and Maria disliked so much, he had already gone too far.

He had known he was breaking the rules of his and Rachel's agreement, they had decided that they were needed if it was going to work and some of them were just required, like no sex with anyone other than each other in the apartment they shared. No sex with anyone without a condom except each other. That they would tell each other if they had sex with someone else. No bringing dates to group outings, and most importantly no dating anyone for more than two months. They had all been easy until Serena and he wasn’t quite sure why.

He hadn’t done anything different with her then he had with any of the others but for some reason he seemed to be more attracted to her and had eventually given in after a few months and slept with her. She was the first women other than Rachel that he had ever slept with and he had felt guilt as hell ever since.

Rachel turned around and grinded her ass into Finn's crotch smiling in delight when she found him hard for her. Finn spun her around and pulled her to him before leaning down to thrust his tongue into her mouth. She was driving him absolutely crazy with her torture on his body.

‘What happened to your date?’ Finn asked her.

‘Oh I guess you could say it didn’t work out’ she lied ‘so I decided to come here and meet up with Maria and I’m glad I did’ she smiled.

‘Me too’ he told her and he did. It had been so long since they had done this he realised.

‘I want you’ she whispered when they pulled apart from their heated kiss.

‘El’ he groaned before allowing his hands to cup her ass and pulling her more firmly against him.

‘Hey lovebirds’ Maria interrupted them with a smirk on her face, she was glad to see Rachel smiling again she hadn’t seen enough of it in the last three months and it also appeared that operation ‘Starting Forever’ was off to a nice start.

‘Yes Maria?’ Rachel asked sending a mock glare at her friend for interrupting.

‘Marcus told me to tell you that you can finish up for the night Finn because it’s not very busy’ she told them.

‘Thanks Maria’ he smiled. He pulled away from Rachel and grabbed her hand ‘Well we’ve gotta jet so we’ll see you later’ he quickly told her before him and Rachel began walking quickly towards the exit, both with the same destination in mind.

Maria was still chuckling when she sat back down at the bar.

‘What’s so funny?’ Michael asked.

‘Oh just how quickly Finn and Rachel fled this place when I told Finn that Marcus said he could go, there’s gonna be some screaming in that apartment tonight’ she explained.

‘He left with Rachel?’ Michael queried.

‘Yeah’ Maria told him. Michael frowned, what did Finn think he was doing? The only thing that should be happening in that apartment tonight between him and Rachel was a lot of talking and most likely a lot of groveling, and maybe then Finn could think about make up sex.

‘Okay Space Boy spill’ Maria demanded when she saw the look on Michaels face.

Michael sighed he knew he should keep his mouth shut but he and Maria didn’t keep secrets from each other anymore. It was the only way that they could keep their relationship on track so most of their friends new if you told one of them something you were pretty much telling them both something.

‘You can’t tell Rachel’ he said.

‘Michael’ she warned.

‘I’m serious Maria it’s none of our business and we should stay out of it’ he told her.

‘Stay out of what?’

‘Finn has been seeing someone for the past three months’ he told her.

‘What! That’s against the rules’ Maria gasped. See everyone new the rules that’s why he couldn’t understand how Finn had managed to break them.

‘I know’ Michael sighed.

‘Is he going to tell her?’ she wanted to know.

‘I guess’ he shrugged, he hoped so that’s for sure.

‘Man I can’t believe this’ she sighed. Rachel was going to be devastated when she found out.

‘It will be ok, they’ll work things out it’s Finn and Rachel’ Michael tried to reassure her.

‘You don’t understand Michael’ she sighed ‘Rachel is going to tell Finn tonight that she doesn’t want to see other people anymore, she’s sick of playing these dating games with Finn and she’s going to tell him’

‘Oh’ Michael said this could turn out really bad.

‘Yeah oh’ Maria agreed.
