I am very pleased with all the positive feedback I got from this story and apologize for the long pause. I hope to update this story every week. I have also decided on the pairings for this story: –puckleberry (obvi), -mattana, -bartie, -quam, -klaine, -tike, -and lastly Finn and Mercedes bashing. Mercedes will be mean in the beginning and nicer more towards the end. Finn will however not be supportive of the new relationships at all. I hope you all like the pairings and please review. Happy Reading! =D
Rachel's POV:
Matt still hadn't removed his arms from around me and by now most of the gleeks were down by me and Matt admiring my new look and attitude. Santana looked both shocked and possibly jealous because of how close Matt was holding me. Was it possible that Santana had a crush on him already? Puck was also very surprised by my new look but the jealousy was more evident on his face. I guess it was possible that I liked Noah but the question was did he return those feelings. I doubt it but anything possible right?
Santana's POV:
Was this reality or was I dreaming? Here in front of me was Rachel Berry looking totally hot and had a very sexy guy with his arms around her. And that guy somehow caused a blush to creep up onto my cheeks. Was it even possible for Auntie Sannie to blush let alone have feelings? Well I'll just have to worry about that later because now he was staring at me making me blush even more.
Then he did the unthinkable and winked at me. I'm pretty sure I have died and gone to heaven. I looked over to see Puckermann fuming. His knuckles were turning white and I'm positive that he was furious and jealous, two emotions that should never be on him. I felt bad for Puck, having to watch the love of his life be happy with another guy.
I remember last year when Puck saw a guy from the football team flirting with Rachel. He grabbed a slushie out of the nearest dweebs hand and went to throw it at him. He tripped right before he could and instead it landed on Rachel. He felt bad about it for weeks but at least now no one would flirt with her….well now they would but then they wouldn't. I watched as Puck caught Rachel's attention and she began to blush. They were adorable together even when they were apart and is Puck blushing?
Okay now aside from the fact that I and Rach are going to be friends within the first two periods of today, I am going to make it my personal mission to get those two together.
Rachel's POV:
I think that I should put them all out of their misery and set the record straight. "Okay guys now that we all know that, as guys said while I walked down the hall, the "extremely hot chick" is me, more importantly, this is not my boyfriend. Matt Rutherford is my cousin who is now living with me. I convinced him to join glee club but he said only if I auditioned with him." I saw Puck smirk at me and Matt so I went back to talking. "So what do we plan on doing for the first 2 periods of the morning?"
All of a sudden everyone started talking at once so Matt spun me back into his arms before I hollered at them to stop. "Guys one at a time!" Kurt raised his hand so I pointed to him to let him speak.
"Can we talk about your summer and what angel from heaven gave you this absolutely wonderful makeover?" So Matt and I started the very long story on how I changed over this summer. We than went on to talk about everyone else's summer. The third period bell rang and we all get up to leave. Mike offered to show Matt around the school much to Santana's disappointment. I'm surprised how quickly Santana, Brittney, Quinn and I had become friends. I guess because of my laid back additude I was more tolerable and fun. Off to my third class of the day.
Rachel's POV: Lunchtime:
Secrets in McKinley get around fast and by now the whole school knew that the hot chick from this morning was only Rachel Berry except now, I got more attention than before. Everyone also knew that Matt was just my cousin and was now fair game. Although, I'm positive Santana had called dibs first period this morning. Guys were making remarks about my new look and kept asking why I had changed.
On my way to the lunch room, I met San, Britt and Q at San's locker to walk to lunch together. Turns out that coach told them they had to choose between Glee Club and Cheerios and they all choose Glee. I was shocked but that's what friends are for right? We all locked pinkies and walked to cafeteria. Upon entering the cafeteria we were summoned over to Glee table. We made our way over and all of a sudden I was whisked of my feet and into a strong pair of arms. I knew they weren't Matt's because he was sitting over at the table making goo-goo eyes at San.
"Hey my hot little jewish-american princess, I haven't talked to you all day. And even if I was a fan of those sweaters you wore I have to say, I'm diggin' the new Rachel." Once I was put on the ground again I turned to face him and jumped up to hug him. He responded immediately and before setting me back on the ground he planted a soft kiss to my cheek. One thing that Noah knew how to do best was make me blush. He chuckled at my reaction and smiled at me. Not a smirk but a real Puckermann smile.
He then grabbed my hand, interlaced our fingers and asked me a question. "Can you come with me? I want to show you something, but you need to trust me because it's a surprise for you. Do you trust me?" I nod my head and he kisses my knuckles before leading me out of the cafeteria and to where ever our destination might be.
Santana's POV:
Puck was going to put his plan into action. I looked back to see Puck kiss her hand and lead her out toward the choir room for her surprise. They were too cute together and when I looked back at Matt I noticed he was stressing over Rachel so I put his and everyone else's worries to rest.
"Matt calm down, you can probably cook and egg on your head right now. Puck is giving her a surprise. You shouldn't worry too much, he really cares about her. Always has, always will."
"What do you mean a surprise and Puck has never cared about her. He was the one who started the slushie war against her so unless that's some weird way of saying I care then…" Stupid Finnocence, always the last one to catch on to the obvious. Guess I'll just set the record straight so he doesn't get in the way because mark my words I will cut him.
"Ok I know that none of us want to come out and break your little fragile heart that is ironically protected by those revolting pyramid nipples but Puck loves Rachel and from the looks of it, she loves him too. They just haven't realized it yet well Puck has but not Rach. She will and maybe sooner than we think."
"So where are they going? What surprise does Puckermann have planned for our diva?"
"I wasn't supposed to tell but…..he wrote a love song for her. It's called "Musical Soulmate". He said he wasn't good with feelings so he'll sing it instead to let her know how he feels. And we all know how much Rach loves to be wooed, by this afternoon they will be McKinley's new golden couple." The table then went a buzz with gossip and what to expect this afternoon at Glee Club.
Rachel's POV:
Noah led me to the choir room and picked me up to sit me on the piano. I smiled at his actions before he began to talk. "You know I have never been good at expressing my feelings. But I hope that this song shows you just how I feel…about you." My heart started to beat faster and my stomach did flips and bounces as he settled back behind the piano. He played a few notes before starting his song to me. I couldn't believe what he was saying.
(Noah, Rachel, Both)
I remember when I realized
The depth of your beauty for the first time
A million ears had heard you
But none had listened quite like mine
Every phrase that leaves your lips
Makes me feel as if I'm paralyzed
Talking is trivial, sing another crazy note
And I will be the reload
The troubles that we knew before
Disappear and all I know is that
This song was so moving it caused me to begin to tear up. When he said the part about phrases leaving my lips I giggled at how well the song fit. Noah really likes me. It was almost confusingly simple and I began to sing along to the song with him.
It makes no difference where you come from
I don't care if you need my love
You know I'll be there I swear I want to sing to the world
No need to keep it a secret
You are the one, the only
My musical soulmate
When I began to sing he looked over at me slightly shocked and also very nervous. Why would he be nervous, he sings beautifully? I just continued to sing along, never once lifting my gaze from his own.
Darling listen
The audience is calling you (They're calling you)
There's no way in hell that
They will ever feel you like I do
I did the same thing he did and poured all my emotions into those few lines I sang without him. I guess I really do like him and considering the fact that he was smiling at me right now, I have a feeling he likes me too.
It makes no difference where you come from
I don't care if you need my love
You know I'll be there I swear I want to sing to the world
No need to keep it a secret
You are the one, the only
My musical soulmate
It makes no difference where you come from
I don't care if you need my love
You know I'll be there I swear I want to sing to the world
He got up, stopped playing the piano and walked toward me. He cornered me in the piano and sang the last three lines by himself without any music to accompany it. He cupped my face with his hands and starred deep into my eyes. I could feel my and his hearts pounding in our chests. My breath caught in my throat and suddenly I couldn't breathe right.
No need to keep it a secret
You are the one, the only
My musical soulmate
We met halfway, kissing slowly yet very passionately. I never in my wildest dreams had thought that I would be kissing Noah Puckermann! Okay, that's a lie I had many dreams about him but I had feelings for the guy, sue me. He didn't take the kiss too far and when he pulled away he looked deep into my eyes. He once again gave me that Puckermann smile that made me melt and I returned it.
We went to kiss again but the bell rang so it startled us slightly. He looked at me once again and said,"I meant every word of it. And you are my one and only Musical Soulmate." And it was official, I defiantly was falling for Noah Puckermann and I was falling HARD!
Ok guys so I hoped you like this chapter. I heard the song Musical Soulmate and just had to put it in this story. Please review because they make me happy and be sure to include any ideas for my story. Happy Reading! =D
