Rachel was sat opposite sebastian in a very nice restaurant she couldn't believe the way things had changed in the past few days.

" you seem much more happier now your not at McKinley" sebastian said once they had ordered their food.

" I am" Rachel smiled.

" I'm glad and I hope Crawford isn't the only thing making you happy" he said.

" it isnt" she said feeling herself blush sebastian beamed at her.

" dalton has a lacrosse game next Friday would you come support me" he asked

" yeah" she said.

" I like your dads" he said

" I'm pleased they can be a little overwhelming" she said.

" only because they know how special you are and are so proud of you" he said as their food came.

They chatted throughout the meal and Rachel found herself feeling comfortable  being with him.

After the meal sebastian drove her home and thruth was she felt sad the date was coming to an end she had truly enjoyed tonight because it was the first date she had being on where she felt ok being herself.

As they reached her house and sebastian pulled up on the drive they both got out of the car and he walked her to her front door.

" rachel" he said she turned to look at him.

" I had a great time tonight" she said

" me too" he said looking into her eyes and before she knew it he was kissing her the kiss was incredible.

" I think I need one more of those" he said after they broke the kiss and kissed her again.

" can I drive you to school tomorrow" he asked

" ok" she said

" then maybe I could take you on another date afterwards" he said.

" I'd like that" she said feeling her face flushing.

" what do you say one more kiss" he asked without waiting for an answer as he kissed her again.

The next morning

Rachel was ready for school she was glad her dads were now at work because they had being smiling at her all morning.

Rachel also was excited about something she had never being excited about before that was she couldn't wait to tell chloe and jaqueline about her date with sebastian.  She had never had girlfriends to talk about this sort of thing with.

Sebastian arrived and she went out to meet him he was out of the car as she locked the door.

" morning beautiful" he said as she made her way to the car where he now stood having opened the door for her.

" morning" she said

" wait" he said as she went to get I to the car.

" what'she asked

" it costs one kiss to get a lift to school" he said and she smiled and they kissed.

" that's better" he said.

They talked on the way to school sebastian Rachel noticed seemed happier to her than she could recall him been.

As sebastian pulled into Crawford's parking lot Rachel noticed sebastian was smiling she had a feeling a dalton boy driving a Crawford girl to school was a way of saying she is mine.

" I will pick you up after school I have our second date planned" he said.

" what are we doing" she asked.

" I couldn't possibly divulge that information" he said making her giggle.

" so it's a secret" she giggled

" yes" he chuckled.

" can I have a clue" she asked.

" nope" he said

" come on" she asked laughing.

" nope it's a secret but I know you will enjoy yourself so that is all that matters" he said and got out of the car.

Rachel went to get out of the car but sebastian had ran around to open her door for her.

" allow me" he said offering her his hand and helped her outmof the car.

" thank you" she said

" that also comes with a price" he smirked

" a kiss" she asked but she shook his head

" no two kisses" he said and kissed her.

Rachel watched as sebastian left for dalton and couldn't stop the smile which was so big it was hurting her face.

She walked into Crawford...

" I knew it I knew" jaqueline shouted running towards her with chloe.

" you lucky thing" chloe declared.

" you have to tell us everything we can go for coffee after school" jaqueline said.

" I can't sebastian is taking me on another date after school" Rachel said.

" where you going" chloe asked

" he says it's a secret" Rachel said.

" I knew he liked you" jaqueline said.

" and obviously youmliel him you have eyes hello he is gorgeous" chloe said

" dont let hunter hear you" jaqueline giggled.

" I love hunter but come on we have to admit its impossible to not see sebastian  is good looking" chloe said.

" is he a good kisser he looks like he would be" jaqueline asked.

" he is an amazing kisser" Rachel admitted.

" so I'm dating a hot warbler Rachel is dating a hot warbler so jaqueline when are you and Thaddeus going to admit your in love with each other"  chloe asked.

" it's not as simple for me" jaqueline said.

" why not" Rachel asked.

" he is my brothers friend" jaqueline said.

" girls class is an out to start" a professor called to them they had been so distracted to not noticed they were the last ones in the corridor.

As the bell signalling the end of the school day sounded Rachel  felt butterflies inner tummy.

" you have to tell us every detail" chloe said as they three girls walked out of Crawford together.

" I will" Rachel said as she saw sebastian pull int the parking lot.

She said goodbye to the girls and headed over to his car he got out and walked around to open her door for her.

" hello" he said beaming at her.

" hi" she said blushing.

" you have remembered the fee for driving you places" he asked wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her.

" are we going somewhere far that was a long kiss" she asked.

" nope I just couldn't stop" he said and opened her door for her.

Fifteen minutes later sebastian pulled out outside a building which rache had no clue what it was.

" right then I will tell you what our next date is... we are going to be painting mugs but not for ourselves but for each other. I thought we could take them to school for choir practice, let everyone know we belong to each other" sebastian said.

They want inside and began to paint Rachel struggled at first for two reasons firstly how to decorate the nug and secondly sebastian kept knocking her as a joke.

" you know it's your mug your going to mess up" she said.

" dont worry I will tell the other warblers you go to pieces around me and that is why you have an unsteady hand" he said.

" unbelievable" she giggled.

" you had an unfair advantage" she said as he was painting away.

" how so" he asked.

" you knew we were coming here so you have had time to think" she said.

" whatever you paint on my mug I'm going to love it" he said.

They painted for a while having flirty banter throughout.

" are you ready" he asked.

" I think so are you" she said

" yep you first" he said.

" ok" she said and handed the mug to him.  A Tony award naturally and is this bambi I believe" he asked.

" yes do you like it" she asked he answered by kissing her.

" I love it now yours" he said the handle was blue and red striped like a dalton tie. And Rachel giggled as she saw what he had painted he had painted a meerkat wearing the dalton  uniform.

" I love it" she said.

" he is almost as cute as me" he declared.

" almost" she said and was rewarded with a dazzling smile and then a sizzling kiss.

They left the place and headed to his car.

" Rachel" sebastian said as they reached his car.

" yes" she said turning to face him.

" do you feel like everything is falling into place or is it just me" he asked.

" since you took me to Crawford everything has being falling into place" she said.

" i know it was t nice what you went through but I'm glad your at Crawford" he said

" so am I  she admitted.

" Rachel what would you say I told you that I love you" he asked

" I would say I love you too" she said.

" you love me" he asked his smile was u like anything she had seen before.

" yes you make me happy and feel safe" she said they kissed for a long time.

" you make me happy to" he said stroking her cheek.

" I'm glad" she said.

" does this mean that I have a beautiful girlfriend now" he asked.

" yes" she said.

They started to kiss.

It had been a whirlwind of a week but Rachel knew as she stood there kissing him she was now not only happy but she was safe and sound.
