When Rachel got up the next morning Finn was already up busy making breakfast. 

‘Morning’ she greeted as she made her way into the kitchen. 

‘Hey you’re supposed to be in bed’ he objected. He had planned to serve her breakfast in bed this morning. 

‘Um well I could go back’ Rachel laughed. 

Finn sighed ‘No, it’s ok’ he walked over to her and bent down slowly before taking her mouth in a sweet good morning kiss. It was nothing overly sexual but it made him want more immediately, he was addicted to her taste and it had been too long since they had taken the time to do the small things in their relationship. 

After they had gone to bed the night before he had thought a lot about all the mistakes he had made in their relationship. He realized she was stupid to listen to her parents that he should have fought for their relationship regardless of whether they got married or not. And now he wanted to make it all up to her. 

‘Good morning’ he whispered as he pulled away. 

Rachel licked her lips enjoying the taste of him that was left on her lips. 

‘Morning’ she replied huskily. 

A couple of minutes later Finn served them breakfast. Pancakes with strawberries and cream because they were Rachel's favorite. 

‘Are you working tonight?’ she asked. 

‘No, I took off the whole week’ he replied. 

‘Ok’ 

‘What about you, do you have plans this evening?’ he asked. 

‘Um no’ she shrugged things between them still felt a little awkward and she assumed they would for a little while. Rachel wasn’t used to thinking about everything she said or did when it came to being with and around Finn. 

‘Will you go out with me?’ he asked her then surprising her. 

‘Where?’ she asked. 

‘Well dinner and maybe a movie I wanted to take you out to celebrate the end of exams and maybe the start of something new?’ he mumbled. 

‘So like a date?’ she smiled. 

‘Yes, it would most definitely be a date’ he nodded. 

‘Then yes’ she replied. 

‘Really?’ he asked like a little boy. 

‘Yes’ she laughed ‘I know we agreed to take things slow last night, Finn but a date is perfectly fine just like that good morning kiss was, feel free to keep those coming’ she explained seriously. They had decided that even though they both knew being apart wasn’t as option for them anymore that taking it slow was for the best. Rachel still hadn’t gotten past the whole Serena thing yet and neither or them were ready to forgive him quiet yet. Rachel knew that she couldn’t just pretend that the whole Serena thing never happened, it had. But throughout the night she realized that she wasn’t ready to give up on her and Finn so right now she was pushing it into the background she wouldn’t let Serena and her parents win. 

Finn's eyes darkened ‘so the lady wants more?’ he asked. 

Rachel unconsciously licked her lips again ‘yeah definitely more’ she whispered huskily all of a sudden slow seemed like a really bad idea.
