I found some time in between studying and everything to write a quick chapter. Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate them!! And thanks to sweetcaroline1986 for informing me about the formatting! Hope this chapter's easier to read! Enjoy!
Noah Puckerman walked into Glee practice that afternoon ready to be questioned by Finn Hudson. Puck was early for a change, he wanted to beat Rachel. His best friend Finn had always asked about his girlfriends and flings. Not that Finn had anything to compare it too. Finn had only been with Quinn, and some other girl back in junior high. All of a sudden, Puck was pushed up against the wall.
"What the hell?" he asked as Finn had Puck pinned against the wall.
"What are you doing kissing Rachel?!" Finn practically yelled.
"Why does this have to concern you?" Puck asked calmly.
"Because, Rachel is my friend, and she deserves to be with someone better than you. Someone who won't just sleep with her then dump her." Finn said.
"Why would I do that to her?" Puck asked.
"You do it to every girl you go after Puck, I'm not stupid." Finn said, pinning him down harder, which made Puck flinch.
"I actually happen to like..." Puck trailed off.
"What are you guys doing?!" they heard Rachel shriek. Both guys looked at her with deer-in-headlights expressions.
"Finn! Get off of Puck!" Rachel exclaimed as she pulled Finn's arms free of Puck. She was strong for such a little thing.
"Thanks babe." Puck said. Rachel smiled at him.
"What is this? Since when are you two all nice to each other?" Finn asked.
"Since this morning, when I asked her out." Puck said, putting his arm around Rachel.
"Rachel, you can't be thinking straight right now, you're actually going out with this guy?" Finn said, pointing at Puck.
"Why do you care who I go out with?" Rachel asked, suddenly fed up. She didn't know what she'd seen in Finn that morning when she woke up.
"Because, Rach, it's Puck we're talking about." Finn said.
"Dude, I'm standing right here." Puck said, gripping Rachel's waist a little tighter.
"And, Puck is your best friend. I think you're being rude and disrespectful towards him." Rachel said.
"Oh my god, Rachel, just please don't date Puck." Finn said, rubbing his forehead.
Rachel gently pulled away from Puck. "First off all, who are you to tell me who I can't date?! You don't own me Finn. And also, I can't believe you would be acting like this about me dating your best friend. It has nothing to do with you Finn. I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. You have a girlfriend, so you need to spend your time and attention on her instead of worrying about Puck and me. And, lastly, I used to like you Finn, a lot, and up until today, I wanted to be with you. Now I realize that no matter what I do, you won't leave Quinn. You play with people Finn, and that's not fair. I want and need someone to be nice to me, to tell me that they want me, someone who doesn't beat around the bush. You're not that guy Finn. That's okay though, because at least now I know I'm not supposed to be with you. Now please, leave my relationship with Puck alone. Thank you." Rachel said.
Finn didn't know what to say. He had a feeling Rachel liked him, but he wasn't sure. He had feelings for her too, but he would never admit it. Now, he was never going to have her. He didn't know why he felt like that, but it was something about Rachel that intrigued him. He thought about Quinn. At least I still have her. Finn thought.
Puck watched as Rachel stormed out of the choir room. He was impressed with her monologue. She's even hotter when she's mad. He thought. Puck felt like he should go after Rachel, and he wanted to. Finn left the room shortly after she left. Puck knew where Rachel was probably going.
Puck stood outside the girls' bathroom door, knowing Rachel was in there. (Mostly because he saw her go in.) He slowly opened the door to find Rachel dabbing her eyes with a paper towel. She'd been crying. Puck hated it when girls cried.
"You okay?" Puck asked his hands in his pockets.
"What are you doing in here?" Rachel asked, almost laughing.
"I wanted to make sure you were alright." Puck said.
Rachel looked up at him. "I'm fine, thank you." she said.
"No you're not, talk to me." Puck said.
She thought for a moment. "I'm just upset because, well, yesterday, and even this morning, I was so sure I wanted to be with Finn. Then you asked me out, and we kissed, and Finn was completely put out of my mind. When he acted like that in the choir room, I didn't know what I even saw in him. I realized you're the one that I really want Noah." She said, then feeling stupid for saying it. What if he didn't feel the same way?
Puck didn't know the exact words to say, so he moved in closer to her, and kissed her gently. She kissed him back. Soon they were against the wall, the kisses getting more heated.
"I want to be with you Rachel." Puck said as he kissed her neck.
"Good." Rachel said breathlessly. Something about Puck made her crazy when he was kissing her. Puck kissed her again, and this time she let his tongue in a little bit.
"Um, Noah?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah babe?" he answered.
"We have to get to Glee. Everyone will be wondering where we are." she said.
They both hurried out of the bathroom to get to Glee, hand in hand.
Thanks for reading! Chapter 3 should be done in the next few days, once I get a good chance to write it (:
