Okay, so this is chapter 2 and if you are reading this and you want more, please review!
Well, at least she thought it was Noah Puckerman. He had on a pair of loose Levis, a plain white shirt that stretched across his broad chest in just the right way, and a red, McKinley High letterman's jacket hung loosely on his tall frame. But, the one thing that really through Natalie off was the hair, or rather the lack there of hair on his head. Sure he had shaved of that stupid Mohawk once after he got out of juvie, but as soon as his hair had grown back, it was set right back into that horrible hair style and was kept all the way through graduation.
"Hi, Noah." Kurt's high voice broke through Natalie's thoughts and she realized she was staring at her brother's best friend. She shook her head as she stepped just inside of the room and leaned against the door frame as she watched Kurt give the tall jock a hug.
After juvie and the whole Beth thing, Puck liked to go by Noah, no one was really sure why. One day in glee he just freaked out when Santana called him Puck and said that he wanted to be called Noah from now on. No one asked questions, they just started calling him that, and no seemed to see the way he tensed when someone would slip up and call him Puck. Well, no one, except for Natalie.
They had also all become really close, being in glee and all. It was like one happy like family. Well, except for Quinn. She had quit glee their senior year and never came back. As far as any of them knew, she was somewhere in Cincinnati with some guy that she had met online. No one talked to her, and no one wanted to.
"Hey, Nat," Natalie looked up from where she was staring at the floor and right into the amazing hazel eyes of one Noah Puckerman. "How are you?" his voice was low and he smiled widely as he looked at the small girl standing in his door way.
Natalie shrugged as she drug her eyes away from his and glared at Kurt, "Hungry." She stated and raised an eyebrow for emphasize. She heard Noah chuckle a little and Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Alright, alright, let's go." Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him towards the door, grabbing Finn by the collar of the shirt as he went, "We are going to go to McDonald's down on the corner, because Miss Grumpy Pants here wants food. You wanna come?" Kurt asked as he turned around to look at Noah expectantly.
"Uh, actually, I was just going to stay here and unpack," he gestured to the boxes on the bed, but kept his eyes on Natalie as if half expecting her to say something. Instead, she shrugged her shoulders and turned away, only to be stopped by Kurt who was glaring at her.
She huffed and turned back to Noah, who had stuffed his hands in his jean pockets and was staring at the Lady Gaga poster on Kurt's side of the room, "Come on. You can do all this later." She said and crossed the room to pull on his arm and tug him out of the room before he can protest.
They were just crossing the street outside of the residence hall when they all head it, a high-pitched squeal of a name that they all recognized, "Noah!" Natalie rolled her eyes and continued walking down the side walk behind Kurt and Blaine who were holding hands and also ignoring the girl in a poodle sweater and pencil shirt running toward them.
"Uh, hi Rachel?" Noah asked rather than said as Rachel flung herself into his open arms, "I thought you were going to New York?" he sounded confused and Natalie didn't blame him. Up until about a month ago, Rachel was dead set on going to New York and no one was going to stop her, well no one except for Finn obviously.
They had all gone out for a family dinner with Rachel's dads and Finn had done the most outrageous-and stupid if you asked Natalie-thing and gotten down on one knee, right there in the middle of Breadstix and put the engagement ring that Finn's dad had given his mom on Rachel's finger. She knew she couldn't go to New York after that and she was accepted late into Ohio State with the rest of them, much to Natalie's disappointment.
"Yeah, well things change." She smiled widely as she pulled away from him and held her left hand out in front of her. Noah's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head as he looked from the ring to Finn, back to the ring and settling on Finn with a 'Really!' look, to which Finn just shrugged and blushed a little.
"Wow," Noah said after a short silence and looked back at Rachel, forcing a smile to his face, "Congratulations!" He said and Rachel giggled as she pulled away and walked to Finn, taking his hand in hers.
"Thank you. It was completely unexpected and I just couldn't say no, ya know?" she beamed up at Finn who was also beaming down at her. Seeing as how they were lost in their own little world, Noah nodded slightly and turned to catch up with the other three.
"So, you're going to be Rachel's sister-in-law?" he asked Natalie as he fell into step next to her.
"Oh god, don't say that out loud. I don't want to think about it, just the fact that my adorable niece or nephew could grow up to be like her, makes me want to steal them as soon as she gives birth to them and raise them as my own. I mean seriously! How could Finn do that to his unborn children?" she was exaggerating, she knew she was. But, seriously? Rachel? In their family? God help her.
Noah chuckled as he looked Natalie up and down. He had always been attracted to her, just didn't make a move. She was his best friend's twin sister and he was more than a little afraid of her step-father who keeps a rifle in the living room right next to his recliner. He knows, he's seen it. But, it wasn't only those two reasons.
He had never made a move or even tried to get close to her because he knew he would hurt her. Practically growing up in the Hudson household, he has seen Natalie some home from multiple dates crying her eyes out over some douche that had broken up with her because she wouldn't have sex with him. Hell, Noah had held her a couple times as she cried because her mom wasn't home to deal with it and Finn was at a complete loss when it came to girls. Having a little sister defiantly helped him in the crying girls department.
He had seen her completely broken before and knew he was the cause of many girls' tears over the years. But, for some reason, the thought that he could have been one of the guys to make Natalie cry, made him want to kick himself in the crotch. So he backed off and tried his best to just be Finn's best friend and McKinley High's 'sex-shark'.
"Oh, come on. It won't be that bad." He said as he covered his mouth to cover up a smile as Natalie turned to glare at him.
"She's already planning the wedding. We are all going to dance down the aisle to some Broadway show tune that I have never heard of and her and Finn are going to sing their vows to each other." She made a gesture as if she were hanging herself from a noose and gagged, "Kill me now."
Noah didn't cover up his smile as he removed his hand, "You're gonna be in the wedding? Aww isn't that sweet. What are you? The maid of honor?" he laughed a little, but quickly shut up when she narrowed her eyes at him a little, "Oh my god," he gasped and laughed out loud, "She asked you to be the maid of honor!"
"No, she didn't ask." Natalie huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest and focused on the back of Kurt's head in front of her, "I had no choice. As soon as Finn was off his knee, she was naming off people to be in the wedding party and pointed at me saying that I was going to be the maid of honor. Mom was so excited; I pretty much had no choice."
Noah laughed again as she grumbled almost to herself about Rachel, "Hey, don't laugh. You're in it too." She turned to grin evilly up at him.
He immediately shut up and stopped in his tracks, "What are you talking about? Neither of them have said anything to me about it. I just found out they were engaged."
She shrugged as he opened the door for her to the fast food joint, "Who do you think I'm walking down the aisle with?" she walked past him and got in line behind Kurt and Blaine.
Noah stopped to hold the door open for an elderly couple and smiled politely when the woman smiled and called him a 'nice young man'. He didn't really register it; all he could think about was getting to walk down the aisle with Natalie.
"Dude, are you coming?" Finn asked Noah, knocking him out of his daydream where Natalie was wearing white and she was walking towards him.
Finn and Rachel had caught up to the group and they were all standing in the line waiting to order. Noah shook his head and followed Finn to the line and stood next to him.
"Oh, hey. I was going to ask you, and Rachel said I had to before our classes start, but you know we are getting married now, and I was wondering if you would be my best man?" Finn asked as he stared at the menu, trying to figure out what he wanted.
Noah shook his head and laughed a little before his eyes landed on Natalie who was standing a few people in front of him laughing at something Blaine had said, "I would be honored."
