The car journey with Santana wasn't different to any other, Rachel constantly
attempting to change the song on her Alanis Morisiette CD and then singing along
to ironic. When the pair had stopped laughing at each other, Santana made a
rather rare philosophical comment. " I know I've told you 1000 times over how
sorry I am for the way I treated you in the past, but I hope you know just how
happy I am that we found each other Rachel, because I really don't know what I
would have done without you all these years." as they closed into a queue of
traffic Santana placed her hand on Rachel's arm a tear tracing her jawline.
"Santana-" Rachel started softly. "No, Rach let me finish. It wasn't until last
night with everyone from school that I realised hoe much you saved me from
myself all these years. I'm not sure how I found you, but it happened. Rachel,
we all thought you and Finn were meant to be, but sometimes things don't happen
the way we first think. Last night when you kissed Sam, it was like nothing I
had ever seen before, the way I kept catching you looking at each other across
the table and today when I mentioned his name and your eyes lit up. That light
in your eyes has been missing for so long and I just want you to know that I'm
glad you found Sam too. Basically what I'm trying to say is that things don't
always work out like we expect them to. But the way they do work out is so much
better than we could ever expect, and I love you." With perfect timing the
traffic began to move and Santana looked out on to the road. "Thanks, San. I
love you too- and Im really glad I have your support,you have no idea how much
it means to me". In true Santana Lopez style she broke the mood, "I support you
on only one condition, I get all the details. I always wondered would Sam be
good in bed.." "Eughh, Santana please to much information" Rachel said looking
out the window. "What, your the one who slept in your underwear with him!"
Santana replied defensively. Rachel rolled her eyes, "Did you two not do the
deed when you were dating?" Rachel asked. "Nahh, he was a virgin and wouldn't
put out." Rachel looked puzzled she always thought Santana had slept with Sam, I
guess she just never assumed Sam to not be up for it. Pulling into the school
car park, Rachel grabbed her purse and got out of the car. "Thanks San, tell
Britt I said Hi, and remember keep the details between us! Tell Kurt if you
wish, but please warn him not to tell anyone." "Will do Rach!" Santana shouted
out the window as she drove off. When she got into the car, Rachel put on the CD
Finn had made her before she went away and pulled out her phone to find a
message from Sam: "I think I miss you already. How about making dinner- lunch?"
Rachel replied immediately, "Yes please! Time and place?" Rachel was just about
to drive off when her phone rang. "Hi Sam" Rachel said sweetly. "How does the
Lima Bean sound?" Sam asked. "Sounds great to me, what time?" Rachel asked.
"Well where are you now?" "At the school getting my car" Rachel said as she
fumbled with the radio controls. "Just go straight there, I'll be there first".
"See you then Rach!" "Bye Sam" Rachel said before throwing her phone onto the
passenger seat.
It wasn't long until Rachel arrived at her favourite coffee shop in town. She
spied Sam's blonde hair straight away when entered the shop, making her way over
to the private corner table where he was sitting. "Nice choice of seating Sam,
I'm impressed." Rachel said approvingly. "Well, I needed somewhere private so I
could do this" and he pulled her face closer kissing her lips gently. Rachel
giggled, I like it when you do that she whispered. When Sam went up to order
Rachel sat quietly wondering how she was going to refrain from pouncing on him
everytime he smiled at her. "Sam.." Rachel said as he sat down, placing s tray
on the table. "Yeah" Sam said looking up at Rachel before he sat down again,
this time right beside her instead of opposite. "Doesn't matter" Rachel breathed
as she felt his body move closer. Her head fell forward to lean on his, his
shiny blonde hair sweeping across her cheek. Rachel pulled back slowly and
reluctantly her hand falling from his neck to his thigh. Sam wasn't sure how
much longer he could stop himself from kissing her again, but if they wanted to
keep things between them as much as possible they would have to control
themselves. Anyway they had only been "together" if you could even call it that
for less than 24 hours. "At least you remembered to change your clothes."
Rachel laughed. "Yeah, in pretty sure I would have looked strange to Mike
walking around in my suit." Sam said. "Well although you looked very sexy in
that suit, I have to say I really like the jeans and shirt thing you have going
on" Rachel winked as she twisted one of the lower buttons on his shirt. "I'm
glad you approve." Sam said smiling cheekily at the Brunette tease in front of
him. They both laughed and continued eating, "Did you speak to Santana?" Sam
asked eventually. "Oh yes," Rachel said. "It looks like we were caught out!"
"What do you mean? When?" Sam said puzzled. Rachel answered smiling "Last night
in the corridor and Kurt called at the house this morning and your car was
there." Rachel looked at Sam's expression carefully. His puzzled look slowly
faded as he realised where they had been caught. "So we don't have to hide from
them?" Sam said relieved. "Sam, we don't have to hide from anyone, but if he
want to keep thongs private for a while, then that's okay. I just don't want you
thinking that I want to hide you!" Sam laughed at her "I know Rach, I don't
think you want to hide me. It's okay for us to want to be alone for a while you
know?" Sam moved his hand over to Rachel's thigh and squeezed it. "I know."
Rachel said looking into his eyes. When they were finished Sam told Rachel to
follow him back to his apartment, so she did. Hopping into her car again she
followed the black volvo to his home. When they arrived, San tickled her as she
went through the door and as soon as she turned to face him and caught a glimpse
of his cheeky smile she leaned towards him "Finally" she whispered to his ear
before decorating his cheek with kisses. Rachel wasn't one to rush into anything
but with Sam it didn't feel like rushing at all. It felt like she had been
waiting forever. Throwing her legs around his waist, Sam carried her towards his
bedroom. "Are you sure?" he whispered as they lay down on the bed. "Sam, I'm not
17 anymore- I know what I want and I'm on birth control anyway..." She said
breathily as she slipped her hand underneath his shirt. Sam pulled her navy
blouse over her head as she battled with the buttons on his shirt. As they
unbuttoned each others jeans and pushed then down past their ankles, Rachel
groaned as she felt Sam's bare legs rub against her body. He undid her bra,
gently cupping her breast and kissing her neck softly. Rachel pushed his boxers
down, at the same as Sam pulled away her frilly panties and placed his finger
inside of her. They kissed each other passionately, barely stopping for breath.
As Sam grew harder harder he gently slipped himself inside of her as Rachel hung
onto his neck. Pulling him down once again, Rachel attacked his lips. Rachel's
tongue gently grazed Sam's neck as he moved in and out. Sam, playing with
Rachel's breasts was just about able to whisper in her ear. "You're so perfect!"
he said gently. Rachel was unable to find the words to telly and instead she
pulled Sam under her and kissed him the whole way down his body. Pulling his
sheets over them, she lay naked on top of him kissing the same spot on his chest
over and over again until they fell asleep.
When Sam woke at about 7pm Rachel was already awake, playing with the tousled
hair around his face. When she noticed he had woken up she gently kissed his
lips, "Sam did you mean what you said earlier? About me being perfect?" Rachel
asked biting her lip worriedly. "Rachel Berry, you are the most amazing woman I
have ever met. You're smart,talented, kind but most of all you are so
beautiful." Sam said holding er face in his hands. When he finished he pulled
her towards him kissing her softly once again. "I know this is very quick and I
don't want to scare you off, it's just, Sam Evans I think I'm falling in love
with you.." Rachel said looking deep Into his eyes for any sign that he was
going to run away. "Rachel Berry, I think I'm falling in love with you too!" Sam
said to her smilng, as he watched her eyes brighten with relief. Rachel lay her
head down on his chest again, not knowing where they were going to go from here-
but not caring either. They lay there talking with each other for hours only
being interrupted by the sounding of Rachel's phone. Placing it on silent,
Rachel ignored Santana and Brittany's calls. "Should you be somewhere right
now?" Sam asked concerned. "The only place I should be is here with you." Rachel
sighed as she turned around to face him. "That's good, I'm not sure whether I'm
ready to let me new girlfriend go yet!" Sam said poking her nose with his
finger. "Girlfriend?" Rachel said to herself. "I like that, good job boyfriend."
she said smiling at his innocent face. "You know something Rachel?" Sam asked
her. Rachel nodded for him to continue, "I would never have imagined you lying
in bed from 3pm." Rachel laughed "Well it takes someone very special to keep me
there!" she replied nuzzling herself back in between Sam's head and shoulder.
The next morning when Rachel finally woke up, Sam wasn't in the bed but she
could hear him out inthe kitchen. She pulled on his short from last night and
headed for the kitchen. She entered with a yawn despite her 12 hour sleep, Sam
nearly dropping the coffee pot at the sight of his girlfriend wearing his shirt.
He was pretty sure that he wasn't doing a very good job at hiding the fact that
he was extremely turned on right now as his mouth was hanging open. "Morning"
was the only word Sam managed to push out of his mouth. Rachel laughed after
realising the affect she had had on him. "Good Morning to you too!" she said
smiling as she walked over towards him. Leaning in she kissed him. Sam placed
his arms around her waist, "By the way, feel free to borrow that shirt anytime
you wish." Sam said softly breathing on her cheek. Rachel looked down at the
shirt that was cutting a V shape down her chest and doing an excellent job at
showing of her legs. Rachel smiled kissing her boyfriend once again whilst he
lifted her up on to his kitchen worktop. "What are your plans for today then
Rach?" Sam asked. "Well, I had originally planned to only stay a couple of days
in Lima so I had every day planned out- but then this hot blonde musician came
into my life again and I was forced to reconsider." Rachel said pouting her
lips. "Oh what a shame." Sam said to her moving closer to her smooth lips.
Rachel stopped him by pressing her hand against his chest and leaning her head
against his. "And now, I want to spend every minute possible with him.." she
continued before letting Sam resume the kiss. "I think he would be okay with
that." Sam said into her ear. Before kissing her softly again.
"Me and Britt have been trying to get through to her all night, but we've had no
luck. Did you try her Dad's?" Santana said to Kurt over breakfast that morning.
"You mean the house phone?" Kurt double checked. Santana nodded before Kurt
replied. "Yeah, no answer last night or this morning." "Don't worry about her
Kurt, we have a fair idea of where she is, don't we?" Santana said slyly. "I
know, I know but still- I'd rather she replied and lied about her whereabouts
than just didn't reply at all! At least then I'd know she was safe!" "You worry
to much!" Brittany said as she climbed of her girlfriends knee. Kurt spun his
plate around the table in circles with his finger "But Britt you just don't
understand, if something happened that girl my family would disown me! If Finn
hasn't killed me first. Finn asked me to keep her safe." Santana laughed at the
severe expression on Kurt's face "Has Finn heard from her?" she asked before
taking a drink of her coffee. "Emm, well he said that she rang him when she
arrived to let him know she had got here safe, but he hasn't heard from him
since." Kurt said casually. "Well that doesn't surprise me" Santana muttered.
"Why? Why doesn't that surprise you?" Kurt asked concerned. Santana groaned
"Because Kurt, she doesn't want to have to talk about Sam! Rachel hasn't lied to
Finn for the guts of 8 years, and she isn't planning on starting now." "I
suppose your right." Kurt sighed. "But she can't avoid him forever, soon enough
she'll need to talk to him. Those two can't not communicate. They're best
friends." Santana got up from her seat and began to walk towards the door,
"Yeah, but Rachel's scared she will lose him forever if she doesn't tell him the
right way. And that, Rachel couldn't cope with." Kurt processed what Santana
just said, "When did you get so relationship savvy?" he asked her as she walked
out the kitchen door. "I'm not- but I can read Rachel Berry like a book." the
Latina shouted from the hallway.
