Hey! So i just heard from Anna Flair that St. Berry is probably not happening in Glee. UGH! stupid Finn!
Anyway, here's my new story!
Rachel sat at 'her' table at the coffee shop. She went there every day and it was a habit to always sit at the small two-person table in the back. She let her fingers wander over the tabletop.
There were words scribbled all over it. 'P (l) M' 'F*ck you' 'Coffee!' 'Tiffany is smokin'' 'Hello' and a lot of other things, most of them unreadable.
She watched the customers coming in and going outside ten minutes later, she, however, could sit there for hours. She used to work on college stuff, read magazines, or just sit and watch. Which was exactly what she was doing now. She tried to decipher a sentence on the table. It had something to do with monkeys.
Rachel looked up when she heard the bell. It was a guy, mid-20, curly brown hair. He was wearing a black leather jacket and a dark blue jeans. He looked hot. Well, his back looked hot.
She continued deciphering and drank another sip of coffee when she heard a familiar laugh. A laugh she hadn't heard in years, but she recognized it right away.
She knew he was here, in New York, she just didn't expect him coming in HER coffee shop. Well it wasn't hers, but still, it was more hers than his. She saw him on a billboard the other day. She was driving on the highway, and almost bumped into the car in front of her, causing a lot of honks from the cars around her. It was a 'Diesel' commercial. Leather and black were in this spring. Totally owned by him. He looked into the camera temptingly. He wore a black leather jacket and leaned on a black 'Harley Davidson'. There was a girl in the photo too, she was all over him with her long black hair and fake eyelashes. Rachel couldn't help but feeling a little bit jealous.
She never expected him to be in a Diesel photoshoot, for god's sake! The St. James she knew wasn't that kind of guy. He'd only do it in crisis.
He was laughing with his friends, they sat at a table for four, and Rachel ad a perfect sight at them. Unfortunately, they had a perfect sight at her too. 'Be busy, be busy!' She told herself. It would look rather stupid if she would be there all alone, staring at other people. They would think she was a no-liver.
Well, she was not. She was Rachel Berry. She had the lead role in Wicked and in Evita. She was a Broadway star. He was too though. He starred in Spring awakening and Oklahoma. Pretty big too. But she always had the luck to not run into him. She quickly grabbed a book out of her purse, but put it back in as quick as she grabbed it out. 'How to get over your ex-boyfriend' wasn't really a perfect book to read at a café. Instead, she grabbed 'Vogue' and opened it at a random page.
Jesse laughed with a joke from his best friend Carl. Maybe a bit too loud. Whatever, he was Jesse St. James. Broadway star. He had leading roles in Spring awakening and Oklahoma. He was famous. She was famous too. But he never had the luck to run into her. He went to all her shows though, she was amazing. Not only at singing, but her acting skills were very good too. He saw a girl, about age 15, standing up from her table, holding a Broadway flyer. He straightened his back to sweep her off her feet with his amazing smile when he asked her name and signed her paper. But she went the other side, she walked over to a small two-person table in the back. He petrified when he saw her sitting at it. Her smile made his heart skip a beat and his stomach tickled. How could it be that, after all those years, she still made him melt?
"Hi," a girl said. Rachel looked up at the girl and smiled.
"Hi!" she answered. The girl blushed.
"You're Rachel Berry right? I'm like your biggest fan, I've seen all your shows! D- do you think you could give me an autograph?"
"Sure honey, do you have a pen?" damnit, great, now he'll definitely see me. Why didn't I just went away? No. No, it's my place here. He's not going to take it from me too. Rachel thought while signing the Evita-flyer after the girl gave her a pen. "Here you go. What's your name?"
"My name's Barbara. I want to be a Broadway actor too someday!" the girl said enthusiastically.
"Well, Barbara, Don't stop believing." Rachel smiled. This was like a young Rachel Berry, she liked the girl. "You know, my middle name is Barbara."
"I know, it's on your fan page!" she squealed.
"Well, bye Barbara, maybe I'll see you again someday."
"Thank you, yeah, maybe…" the girl said, and went to her place again.
Rachel looked over to his table, and saw that he was looking. She pretended she didn't recognize him and continued to read her article. She felt his eyes burning holes in her body and couldn't handle it anymore. She closed the magazine, drank her coffee, packed her bag and practically ran outside.
She walked at the foot aisle and was suddenly overwhelmed by feelings. Jesse. The boy that broke her heart together with an egg. She sighted, how could she feel this way? Her stomach felt… weird. It was like being tickled from the inside, ugh. How could he still be able to do that to her? He looked so stunning in his black jacket, his hair perfect as always, blue eyes studying her body. She wore a skinny jeans, with black pumps, a red top and a long black cardigan. Everything showed off her curves perfectly.
"Rachel!" She heard the familiar voice call from behind her. She squeezed her eyes close for a second before turning around. He jogged up to her, totally out of breath.
"Jesse, hi!" She said innocently.
"Hey… how are you?" He asked. He looked into her eyes, her dark brown chocolate eyes and the feathers regained tickling his stomach. She looked gorgeous.
"Uhm, I'm good! Yeah, I'm working on Evita right now and erm, it's fun! So… what about you?"
"Yeah me too, Oklahoma got me really busy. Uhm, hey, I know this awesome Japanese place, you maybe want to grab dinner later? I tried to call you but I guess you changed your number or something and I really want to talk to you." He asked. Rachel's breath shocked. Did he just ask me out?
What did you think? should I continue?
Disclaimer: i do not own Glee -if i did, finn would just get transferred to a school in China-, Evita, Broadway,Spring awakening, Oklahoma, Wicked or any other mentioned things.
