Chapter 21

The first part of the tour was a success. They started in Los Angeles, where Rachel played a couple of concerts over the weekend, and then she played in other cities till she finished in New York. Back home she took a few days to relax till she'd get back to work again.

Rachel and Finn spent most of the time together and Rachel even slept at Finn's one night.

He had been thinking about asking her since they started dating, and he was even surer of it when they said "I love you" to each other. But it was only when he had moved to his new apartment that he thought it was the right time, so he waited till they got back from the first half of the tour to finally ask Rachel if she would like to spend the night in his apartment.

Finn planned everything before asking her; he only wasn't sure when he was going to bring it up.

It was when they were at Rachel's house, curled up on the couch spending a lazy afternoon just watching movies like they did almost every day of their mini break that Finn asked her.

Rachel noticed he looked pensive. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing." He shook his head but didn't look up, only smoothing her skin reassuringly.

Rachel didn't buy that and turned her body to his, holding his chin up to look her in the eyes. "You can tell me anything, Finn." She assured him, smiling softly.

"Well, I actually want to ask you something." He said, licking his lips.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Huh, well, you know how we always spend time together, either here or at my place and it's awesome!" Finn spoke and Rachel just nodded in agreement, smiling.

"Would you like to spend the night at my place? Not just hang out, but like, stay the night there?" He clarified and stared at her, waiting for her response.

Rachel looked at him in the eye for a moment before smiling brightly. "I'd love to." She said.

"Really?" Finn asked in surprise.

"Of course Finn!" She confirmed and Finn smiled back.

Rachel couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. "You're so cute." She gushed, holding his face with her hands and placing kisses on his lips.

…

Finn woke up early to clean up his apartment and went grocery shopping to buy everything necessary for the romantic dinner he wanted to prepare for Rachel.

She was going with her driver, like she usually did which it let Finn to have plenty of time to organize everything.

Finn looked at the clock and saw it was time to start getting dressed; he took a last look at the food he prepared and went to the bathroom to take shower, shave and dressed himself. He walked back to the living room to wait for his girlfriend.

He stood up when he heard the doorbell ring, grabbing the bouquet of roses he bought for Rachel and strode toward the front door, taking a last glance at the room before opening the door.

"Hi." She said smiling. Rachel was wearing a summer dress, simple but very feminine.

"Hey, babe. You look gorgeous." He said smiling. "These are for you." He took the bouquet behind him and handed to Rachel.

"Thank you, Finn. These are beautiful and you look handsome too." She said before kissing him.

They broke the kiss as it started heating up; after all they were still standing in the hallway.

They entered into the apartment and Rachel instantly noticed the changes in the room.

The couch and TV were in the corner while the table they bought at Rachel's friend store was placed on the center in the living room with two chairs, each placed opposite the other. The table was set with candles. There were also candles spread on the kitchen's counter.

"Finn, you didn't have to do all that." She gasped.

"I wanted to. You deserve everything and more." He circled her waist, bringing her close to him and kissed her. She automatically placed her arms around his neck kissing him back.

"I love you," She whispered against his lips.

"I love you too."

They had a lovely dinner and then they went straight to bed to continue their fun. Like he had told her, he loved his new bed but what he loved more was having her in it with him.

He thought it was awesome to wake up in the morning with her at his apartment. Finn didn't know why he was nervous in the first place, Rachel loved everything. He was super excited to have her in his apartment, even though he barely stayed there himself since he was on tour with her.

He loved to wake up in the morning with Rachel in his arms, and while they had done that many times at Rachel's place, it was the first time Finn got to have her in his home and do all those things like cooking for her, and having breakfast together in the morning.

He thought it'd be nice if they lived together. They could work.

Time to get back to work and Rachel went to LA to film the music video for her second single before she started the second part of the tour where she would do it with Sam.

Unlike the first single that was a more pop upbeat song, the second single was a power ballad and the concept for the music video was basically Rachel wearing a big gown singing for the camera in different shots and her in a room with a guy. It was simple but it'd take three days to film the whole music video.

"That's so beautiful!" Rachel gushed at the gown, in her trailer as someone applied the make up on her. It was a strapless lilac gown that sparkled all over it. As she arrived to the shoot, the director's assistant showed Rachel the set where she was going to film her solo shots. He mentioned that they added a white piano where they were going to film her beside it too.

"You're gonna look gorgeous in it." The makeup artist said.

"I have to say this song is my favorite on your album." The hairstylist told her. There were almost ten people in the trailer between crew, her assistant and a guy that had a mini video camera and filmed all the behind the scenes stuff.

"Mine too." Julie agreed. "I really love the angst of the song."

"I cry every time I hear it." The hairstylist admitted and they laughed.

"Oh my goodness, I know. I asked Julie to bring tissue box because I know I'll cry while filming the music video." Rachel confessed, after all she still cried every time she sang a solo.

"I'll need a few ones too." The hairstylist requested.

"Don't worry; the makeup is water proof." The makeup artist assured the singer.

"That's great. Thank you." Rachel said.

Half hour passed and Rachel was ready to start filming, most people had left the trailer to stay in the set waiting for her. That was when Finn entered into the trailer to get her.

As he saw her in that gown, Finn stopped with his jaw dropped.

"Do you like it?" She asked timidly.

"Wow, Rachel... you look absolutely stunning!" Finn said in awe.

"Thank you." She blushed, feeling like a school girl getting complimented by her first crush.

He strode toward his girlfriend to kiss her but she stopped him.

"We can't Finn. It'll ruin the makeup." She said hesitantly, wanting to kiss him just as much.

"But I want to kiss you so much." He groaned, licking his own lips.

"I know. Maybe just a peck." She said, and they puckered their lips, touching each other's lightly. Before he could try to deepen the kiss, Rachel moved away.

"Tease!" He huffed.

"We have to go now before someone comes in." She reminded him.

Finn helped Rachel take the steps out of the trailer and guided her to the lot. As Rachel arrived on set, everyone was waiting for her.

The director greeted her and talked about what she had to do in the shot.

As they filmed, Rachel really liked how it was turning out the takes, and the camera effects were great too. She liked doing music vídeos, it was when she could act and play a different role like she were in a musical.

Finn joined the band in the second part of the tour, when Rachel started touring all over the country opening for Sam. The tour bus wasn't as comfortable as home but they enjoyed visiting new states and meeting new fans. Rachel took pictures of everything to post on her twitter or add to her scrapbook she had made for the tour.

It was a great experience for them and Finn and Rachel weren't so much worried on hiding their relationship to the people while on tour. Although they did like to sneak out to spend some time by themselves. Sometimes they'd skip lunch to stay in the tour bus or walk around the city holding hands. It was exciting and new to them.

Finn and Sam got close too. All the guys from the band liked to reunite in their free time to make jam sessions or play poker.

Rachel noticed her boyfriend's interest for music - not only playing an instrument but its whole process too, and suggested Finn to go to the studio to watch the production.

That's when Sam invited Finn to work as music producer. He introduced him to his friends in NY.

Finn hadn't been bodyguard since he joined the band on the tour and instead of going back to his old job when the tour ended; he started working as music producer in NY.

He had to admit he was never the brightest kid in school, he usually took more time to learn things but the only thing he learned by himself was when he taught himself how to play the drums, and now working as music producer, he quickly learned the process. He had no experience whatsoever with the process but he gradually started learning, plus he was working with some of the best people in the business.

Finn was excited about his new work. That was something that turned current since he met Rachel, he started doing things that he liked and also started experiencig new things that felt refreshing to him.

He didn't feel the pressure of having to do the things people expected him to do like in high school and how Quinn made him feel.

"That was pretty good Finn. The arrangements you added worked so well on the song." Sam complimented. They have been in the studio for a couple of hours working on new songs.

"Thanks Sam. I liked the final result too." He stated, proud of his work.

They stayed in the studio till 8pm, and then Finn headed to Rachel's.

"I've never imagined of being a music producer. I've always loved music and even wanted to be in a band when I was a kid. But that was unexpected, a good surprise!" Finn spoke excitedly as Rachel watched him, sitting on his lap with a smile on her face.

"I'm so happy for you, babe!" She kissed him. "I love how passionate you're about that."

"That's because of you. You're so inspiring and being around you and working with you, seeing how much passion you have for everything you do, made me want that for myself." He said honestly.

"Oh, you're gonna get laid tonight."

"Awesome!" They laughed.

Since Rachel and Finn weren't boss and employee anymore, they started being more open about their relationship back home. There was no buzz, nothing major in the media about them, the first ones to speculate were just Rachel fans who only made brief comments on twitter.

With his new job and their relationship getting more serious, Finn thought they could take their relationship to the next level.

Julie walked upstairs to Rachel's room after exiting the office. She had been there for a while talking on the phone and accessing the computer.

"Rachel?" She called, knocking on the door that was cracked open.

"Come in." Rachel said, coming from her suit bathroom.

"First just hear me out, ok?" Julie requested as she entered into the room, grabbing Rachel by the hand and leading them to sit on the bed.

The petite brunette followed suit, sitting up straight on the bed. "What is it?" Rachel asked, paying attention to her friend.

"I got a call from a producer of this musical that is going to be on Broadway soon, he said the director asked if you'd like to audition for the lead part," Julie said, eyeing her friend.

"W-what musical?" Rachel asked.

"Wicked."

Rachel opened her mouth but stopped, not saying anything for a moment. "I don't know." She finally spoke, shaking her head.

"Look Rachel, this is a good opportunity for you and your career and that's what you really wanted, right?"

"Yes, but that's when I didn't know better, when I thought that my talent was what it mattered."

"This is the show business, you know how it works." Julie pointed out. "But it's your chance to prove them wrong, to show them that you're a star." Seeing as she still looked hesitant Julie said. "Just think about it, ok?"

"Ok, thank you, Julie." She watched Julie leave the room, leaving her by herself to think.

She was hesitant about this audition because she didn't have good experiences in the past.

Rachel had a great career but it wasn't an easy road till where she was now. She had heard a lot of 'no' along the way and in school it was tough. But with the support of her dads she kept working hard to go after her dreams. When she moved to New York, there were times that all she wanted was to go back home but then she'd talk to her parents and they'd convince her not to. They reminded her of her dream and her talent, and that she should continue to chase her dreams, no matter what.

She looked at her nightstand, seeing a picture of her with her dads. The picture was from where Rachel signed her first album contract and they went to celebrate that. Her dads were wearing a t-shirt saying "Rachel Berry's #1 fans".

Rachel wasn't one to back out from a challenge, she took chances.

Perhaps the director only invited her because she was famous now but she was going to prove she was worth and she deserved to star in the play because of her talent.

Rachel went downstairs, finding Julie in the kitchen. "When is the audition?" She asked and Julie smiled.

"They haven't called you yet?" Finn asked, sitting next to her on the bed.

"No, it's been a week."

"Don't worry Rachel! They'd be crazy not picking you." He assured, rubbing his hand on her back.

"It wouldn't be the first time."

"Hey, hey, stop that." He said. "You're amazing and unbelievably talented. Don't ever doubt that, ok?"

"Ok." She smiled, placing her head on his shoulder and he kissed her hair.

They stayed like that for a few minutes till Finn spoke. "I wanted to talk to you about -"

The phone rang and Rachel stood up. "Hello?"

By Rachel's expression Finn could tell it was about the musical. He stayed quiet watching her short conversation on the phone.

A couple of minutes later she hung up the phone. "It was the musicals producer." She announced.

"What did he say?" Finn asked.

Did Rachel get the part? And what Finn wanted to talk about with Rachel?

What do you guys think fo Finn becoming a music producer?
