Why Georgia – John Mayer
It was a hot day in Georgia, the kind of day when the heat just spins lazily up to shimmer on the humid air. To the cars trapped on I-85/75, it seemed like the heat had melted the asphalt and their tires were just trapped there.
Puck slammed on his brakes again. The Atlanta traffic was not fuckin' moving. Only four exits to his apartment, and he wondered why he was still there. It had been two years since he'd gotten his ass out of McKinley High! He'd landed in Atlanta, at Georgia State University's new football team, the GSU Panthers. Full ride and hot girls? Hell, yeah! Didn't hurt that Atlanta had a great music scene. But then...things had changed a little the summer after graduation. At one of the after-graduation parties, he'd found himself on a porch with Rachel Berry. At first, it was just talking, then flirting, like they'd been doing all through high school. And this time, the flirting had turned to other things.. .that had lasted a lot longer than in high school.
He'd gone to GSU that fall anway, because he'd fallen hard for the indie music places in Decatur, after a visit to check out the campus, but half – or maybe all of his heart had been left in Rachel's small hands. Now? It would be too easy to just keep on driving into the night, back to where his heart was, back to Lima. Yeah, the Atlanta night scene was doing good things for his music, but the reason for his songs kept flickering through his mind...back to mischievous brown eyes laughing up at him, intently following the notes on the sheet music for his new song. Her long hair cascading over his chest as she straddled him, hips moving to the time of their own music . She was back home, on break from NYDA – where she was kicking ass and taking names. Two days ago, he'd been lying next to her in her bedroom, watching those beautiful chocolate eyes darken as he trailed fingers over her neck, then let his lips follow his fingers all the way down her beautiful bare skin, listening to her gasp as he bit and tongued his way down her writhing body . He could be back with her, lying next to her on a warm Lima dock, instead of here...where the traffic was starting to finally move again...as he grinned and accelerated past his apartment towards Lima.
"Baby, leave your window tonight. I'm coming over."
