"I'm so tired of all of this!" Sam said to himself. A lot of things had been going on lately. First, his parents lost their jobs, then they lost their house, then they had to move into a hotel, and now he was going to New York and leaving his family on their own.
He looked around the empty choir room and saw that it wasn't so empty anymore. There Rachel Berry sat at the piano, reading How to Become a Broadway Star. He chuckled. Rachel was so talented, she didn't need to read a book to know how to get on Broadway. He looked her over. She was wearing a pink t-shirt tucked into a high-waisted skirt that barely covered her butt. He smirked and let his eyes wander around her long tan legs. He jet his tongue over his lips. Damn. He thought.
He shook his head and tore his eyes from her body. He couldn't be doing this. He couldn't fall for a girl right now. He couldn't afford it. Besides, Rachel was still in love with Finn! He sighed, which made Rachel turn to him and smile. God he loved her smiles.
"Is everything ok Sammy?" She asked
He chuckled at his new nickname and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine I was just wondering if you'd want to do a song together." He had no idea why he had asked her that. He just knew he wanted to spend more time with her.
Her eyes lit up and she nodded quickly. She got up and almost ran over to him. "Id love to!" He smirked and looked her over again, his eyes grazing her chest. Her breasts were small, but he didn't mind. Rachel followed his eyes down to her chest. She rolled her eyes and lifted his chin so he was looking into her eyes. "As flattered as I am, if we're going to be working together I'd appreciate if you didn't check out my breasts."
He blushed and swallowed nervously. "I'm sorry Rach. I didn't mean to-"
"It's fine." She interrupted him. Her hand brushed his cheek, almost caressing it. "I'll have to try not to check out your abs." She chuckled and sat down next to him.
"Well I don't blame you, they are pretty nice." Sam smirked and let his pinkie brush against hers, watching her closely. Rachel bit her bottom lip at the contact and seemed to smirk.
The rest of New Directions began to pile in as Sam took Rachel's hand. She didn't seem to mind at first, but when Finn walked into the room she quickly pulled her hand away. Sam frowned deeply. What the hell? He thought. Why does a girl like Rachel even like a douche like Finn? He rolled his eyes and sat back as Mr. Schuester began teaching.
Later that day Sam was at home. He had finally gotten Stacey and Stevie to fall asleep on the motel room's only bed. He heard a knock on the door and quickly opened it, stepped outside and closed the door. When he looked up he saw Rachel. He smiled at her. "Hey Rach. You know… you look amazing today."
Rachel blushed and giggled flirtatiously, causing Sam to smirk. "Thanks Sam." She said. She took his hand. "Ready to get to work?"
Sam quickly pulled his hand away from hers, a frown crossing his face. "You wouldn't want to do that. Finn might see."
Rachel looked down then back up at Sam. "I didn't want him thinking we're anything more than friends." Sam's heart dropped. Friends? He didn't want to be her friend; he wanted more, didn't he? No, he should be happy with being her friend, right? I mean he didn't want a girlfriend right now. "Come on let's go work on the song." He nodded, shaking off the feeling of rejection that Rachel had just caused him.
