The day she said I do was meant to be the happiest day of her life, but what happens when someone disapproves of the whole thing. Samchel. Finchel. Samcedes. Rainn friendship. Sory friendship.
This is set right after Rachel says that one word that Finn has been waiting for since he got down on one knee and proposed and after Sam finally gets a kiss from Mercedes, whom he has been trying to win over since he has returned to McKinley High.
We never got the full understanding of where Sam ended up staying when he moved back to Lima, Ohio. I like to believe that he stays at Rachel's house because Finn's house is overcrowded; also with Burt winning the Election sending him out of town to work a lot made Sam's parents a little uncomfortable with the idea of three teenage boys being alone for weeks on end. So that is why I believe that Sam stay's at Rachel's house with her two fathers.
I own nothing! I will repeat I own nothing of Glee or the characters. There may be spoilers if you have not seen the most recent episodes of Glee.
Hope everyone enjoys the story. I would love any type of feedback I can get because this is my first story I have actually gone through to write.
This is kind of in the POV of Sam, but then again Rachel's as well. Sorry if that is confusing. Just let me know if it is too confusing so I can fix it!
Sam made his way into the bathroom that he shared with the petite brunette across the hall, as he walked in wiping his eyes that fell heavy from a long day of school and glee club practice; he noticed Rachel was finishing her nightly routine by rinsing her mouth out with Listerine. The brunette spit the liquid out of her mouth into the sink and smiled brightly towards the mirror for one last look.
"Perfect!" Rachel said throwing the cup away into the trash can and turning to face the blonde headed male blocking her exit way. "Bathroom is all yours, Sam!" A friendly smile spread across her lips as she made her way passed the male.
"Congratulations!" Sam said as he brushed by Rachel, but instantly saw the woman turn to face him from the corner of his eye.
"Thank you, Samuel! I was getting really nervous and scared that I wouldn't get my acceptance letter from NYADA. They won't regret their decision." The brunette said with full confidence in the last little sentence she spoke.
A chuckle escaped the full lips of the blonde as he shook his head and motioned towards the ring on her finger. "I meant on being engaged." Sam said before facing back towards the mirror and placing a good amount of toothpaste on his blue toothbrush.
Rachel's eyes widen as she had totally forgotten she was still wearing the ring on her delicate finger and immediately tucked it behind her back as she looked at the blonde male as she brushed his teeth thoroughly. "How do you know it is an engagement ring? It could be a promise ring for all you know, or even a congratulations ring." She said wanting to know how he came about the accurate assumption.
The male finished brushing his pearly whites as he rinsed the toothbrush from all the foam and germs it had cleaned off from his teeth. "Well for starters a promise ring doesn't look like that. I gave one to Quinn and it didn't have a big diamond. Secondly Finn wouldn't have given you a ring for getting accepted into NYADA. Thirdly I overheard you talking to Quinn on the phone about how you finally said yes to Finn." He said with a laugh as he placed the toothbrush in its respective holder.
Rachel laughed nervously realizing that she did have her door open earlier as she spoke to Quinn and that his room was just across the hall from hers. "Well no one else really knows, but thank you! I heard that you and Mercedes kissed the other day!"
Sam's eyes widen as was now the shocked one. He wasn't sure how she knew because he could swear that Mercedes wouldn't tell anyone because she was still dating Shane and they hadn't really spoken since then. "How did you know about that?" The blonde asked curiously trying to figure out how she knew about that.
"Well when you pass someone by in the hallway who is talking to their buddy about 'snogging' Mercedes. I only have curiosity on what that phrase could mean." She said with an innocent smile on her lips as she leaned against the frame of the doorway.
"Well you are about the only one who knows other than Rory. I believe Cedes would appreciate if that was all that knew. I mean I don't mind if anyone knows, but I know she doesn't want anyone finding out and telling Shane. I just wish she would stop sending mixed signals, you know?" Sam said as he leaned against the bathroom counter while folding his arms over his chest.
"All you can do is keep being you Sam! She will come around one day!" Rachel said with a reassuring smile spread amongst her lips as he looked over at the blonde. "Oh and it would be great if you didn't say anything about the engagement. Finn and I want to tell our parents over dinner one night."
"No worries, Rach. Your secret is safe with me!" Sam said with a wide smile as he pushed himself off the counter.
"Thanks, Sam!" The brunette said walking over to the blonde headed male and wrapping her petite arms around his muscular body giving him a tight hug. "Night Sam!" She said before breaking the hug from him and making her way back towards her bedroom to get ready for bed.
"No problem. Good night to you too, Rach!" He said with a smile and made his way into his bedroom to hit the hay for the night.
Sam laid in bed thinking about what had just happened to him and Rachel in the bathroom. Of course he still had strong feelings for Mercedes and was hoping to make her his one day, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of indescribable emotions that filled his body as he thought of Rachel being engaged. The blonde rolled to his side as he shut his eyes not wanting to think anymore because it was already two o'clock in the morning and he was set to wake in six hours to get ready for another day at school.
'Go to bed Rachel Berry! You need your upmost beauty rest. Go to sleep! Sleep!' Rachel continued to fight with herself as she tried to force herself to sleep, but seemed she couldn't fall asleep. She didn't have the ring on her finger so it couldn't be the reason she wasn't able to fall asleep, so what was the reason. The brunette turned to her side as she shut her eyes knowing that the reason was the talk she had with Sam in the bathroom about her engagement. It was just that she couldn't believe she was set to marry the one man she had always dreamt of marrying one day. Rachel never thought it would be this soon though, but she was happy to inform her two father's she was set to wed, Finn Hudson.
I hope you all enjoyed my first chapter. Like I said earlier please, please let me know if there are any improvements I need to make. I absolutely love the idea I got going for this story! If I get good reviews I will add a new chapter in a couple days!
