Thanks for all your reviews again. They really inspire me to get the new chapters up quicker for you guys.

Rachel woke to the sounds of footsteps coming up the stairs. It wasn't until she rolled over and saw Sam sleeping next to her in his boxers that she even remembered he had stayed over. Her fathers weren't meant to be back until the next day. They must have come home early. Crap. Rachel shot up and shook Sam awake, he mumbled something indecipherable then smiled when he saw Rachel's face. "Sam. You have to get under the bed." she whispered urgently, trying to push him off the bed.

"What?" Sam said sleepily and confused.

"My dads are home early. Get under the bed." Sam rolled onto the floor and army crawled under the bed. This wasn't the kind of awakening he had expected. Rachel then went back under the covers and pretended to be asleep. Her dad, Hiram, walked into the room less than a second later. As he opened the door, Rachel pretended to be waking up. She smiled when she saw her dad. "You're home early." Rachel said.

"Yes, we finished earlier than expected and we couldn't wait another day to come home. How are you?" Hiram said.

"I'm fine."

"No wild parties?" He joked. Rachel laughed.

"No wild parties." she confirmed.

"Why is the fold out bed out?" he asked when he noticed the still made bed next to Rachel's.

"Oh, um. Tina slept over the other night. We were working on something for Glee. I hadn't put the bed away yet." Rachel lied. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you can have friends over. I do hate leaving you alone." Hiram said. "As long as these friends aren't boys." he joked. Rachel faked a laugh.

"Anyway, we brought home some waffles if you want to come downstairs and have some with us." He offered.

"Yeah, let me get dressed and I'll be right down."

"Okay." He smiled, kissing Rachel on the forehead before leaving the room. Rachel sprang up to shut and lock the door.

"You can come out now." Rachel said. Sam crawled out from under her bed.

"Do you make a habit of lying to your father?" he asked, mockingly. Rachel picked up a pillow and threw it at him.

"I have to go have breakfast, sorry." Rachel said as she grabbed some clothes out of her cupboard.

"And I'm going to go back to sleep." Sam said, getting back under the covers.


Rachel finished her breakfast with her dads and made her way back to her room. She shut and locked the door again so her dads wouldn't walk past and see a shirtless boy in her bed. Sam was fast asleep, she decided to leave him there, considering she had woken him up then sent him under the bed. She sat at her desk, pulled her school books out of her bag and proceeded to do her homework. She liked to get it all done on Saturday mornings so she wouldn't have to rush it on Sunday night like most of the kids at McKinley did. If they did their homework at all.

"What are you doing?" Sam's voice came from behind her. Rachel turned around, he was sitting up in her bed.

"Homework. I'm nearly done."

"Homework on a Saturday? I've never heard of such a thing."

"I've usually got nothing better to do." Rachel said defensively.

"Do you want something better to do today?" Sam smiled as he swung his legs off the bed.

"What did you have in mind?" Rachel spun her chair to face him.

"We could go to the mall or something?" Sam suggested. Rachel's face dropped. "What?"

"We can't go to the mall. What if someone from school saw us?"

"So what?"

"Sam, you don't get it. It only takes one person just seeing us standing next to each other for word to get around the school. Then it won't be long until Quinn finds out and I'll be tortured. I mean, Finn never stood up for me. Why would you?"

"I'm not an ass like Finn. I'll stick up for you."

"That's nice and all Sam, but you can't be there all the time."

"Rachel." Her dad, Leroy said as he knocked on the door.

"Under the bed." Rachel whispered. Sam rolled his eyes before dropping himself under the bed. "Yes?" Rachel said opening the door once Sam was hidden.

"Were you talking to someone?" He asked.

"No, I mean, yes. I was, um, on the phone...speakerphone."

"Right... We were going to watch a movie and we found this in the DVD player." he said handing Rachel the movie Sam had brought over.

"Oh, yeah, Tina brought that over, I must've forgotten about it." Rachel said as she threw the DVD on her bed.

"I thought so, did you want to watch a movie with us? We haven't chosen what we are going to watch yet."

"No, it's okay. I was just going to do some homework, and is it okay if Sam from Glee comes over sometime today, we need to work on a song for Glee club." Rachel asked.

"Samantha?" He asked.

"No, um, Samuel."

"Okay, but when he comes, keep the door open." Leroy said before turning to leave the room.

"Thank you." Rachel said as she shut the door behind him.

"So I'm coming over, am I?" Sam asked as he pulled himself out from under the bed for the second time. He didn't bother getting up, he just sat on the floor.

"Yes. You're going to go outside then ring the doorbell, then I'll let you in."

"Is it okay if I go home to shower and change. I'll bring my guitar back with me, then it will definitely look like we are working. And it'll give you time to finish your homework without having me hanging around." Sam suggested.

"Sure." Rachel said "Just wait until they have started watching the movie before you sneak out."

Once Rachel was sure her fathers were involved enough in the movie, she snuck downstairs and led Sam out the back door. He gave her a quick peck on the cheek, Rachel giggled as she pushed him away.

"See you soon." Sam smiled.
