She really should have known that it wasn't going to work. He would have had to have been an idiot to not get that everything that was on the table was adding up to a great deal of money, and Jesse was the farthest thing from an idiot or a pushover. Which means she knows she's not going to be able to back herself out of this corner.
Her eyes move from the hand that he has placed on her arm back up to his face, but she's so embarrassed and nervous that she doesn't know what to say at first. The irritation in his voice makes her swallow roughly, and the fact that she can tell he's trying to not sound irritated means he's that much more irritated than he sounds. She glances back down to his hand again and looks over the papers as she tries to figure out what to even say.
Rachel Berry didn't exactly have the best defense mechanisms when it came to people being upset with her. She'd always say something wrong or exacerbate a fight, and because she'd made an unwise choice the fight would be her fault. She had a tendency to be impulsive, which was one of the reasons the bills were so high. But despite that she so often landed herself in dramatic situations, she didn't like the drama and she wanted to escape or smooth it over quickly. She still blamed herself for most of the fights with Finn. Despite her boastful self confidence, she actually took responsibility for so many flaws that she was sure she had because everyone told her she had them. Everyone couldn't be wrong.
Her mouth opens and closes again, and she looks really timid. She's certain that he's going to get sick of supporting her or providing for her while she's in school. She brings so little to the table as a college student, while living in his...no their...lavish apartment, acting like she has money.
Truthfully, it was her upbringing, but she was still sure that it would grow tired of carrying her. "I...I don't even know." Her voice is quiet and she looks takes her arm back, folding both of her hands in her lap and almost curling in on herself. "I was trying to figure that out."
