[4/9]

It was the third night and Sam had been looking forward to all day to see what the Berry family had planned for this night, the two previous nights that he had been a part of had been amazing, Sam had loved every single part of them.

Sam had never really believed that Rachel would be anything like this before, he had just seen the girl in Glee that would want things a bit too much but when he had spent time with her and her family he had seen another person. When Sam started to think back to everything that had happened in Glee and around Rachel he had slowly begun to notice that there had been small pieces of the person that Rachel was at home showing for them, peaking forward at times.

The blonde haired boy walked up the driveway and to the front door, he knocked at it, Sam knew that he would be seeing Rachel again, he hadn't be able to follow her home as he had done one to the other days or have Rachel follow him home.

Rachel had had a dance class and Sam had promised both of his parents that he would supervise both of his siblings after school, while they had a couple of friends over until either his mother or his father had made it home.

As Sam stood on the front porch waiting for someone to come and open the door, while he was waiting for whoever it was to come and let him in, a memory of what had happened earlier this same day that made it presents known to him, Sam smiled when he remembered what had happened, it had been kind of fun for him to watch and once Rachel in action and show the rest of the group who she was behind the Glee persona that she was putting on, and once again Rachel surprised him and from the look of the rest of the Glee club they had been as surprised as Sam himself had been.

Sam and Rachel walked in to the choir room the same way that they had done for the last couple of days, with their fingers linked together, it was almost the same way that Brittany and Santana used to do, but instead of just their pinkies linked together Sam and Rachel was holding hands. The brown haired girl took a seat at the front, the chair was a bit more to the left if you stood and watch them, Sam sat down next to her, and as he did he placed a kiss on her cheek, and Sam saw the reddish color slowly creeping up Rachel's neck and reaching her face but he didn't comment on it and Rachel didn't say anything.

"So what is going on between you?" Rachel spun around, Sam didn't have a chance to do anything but look at her.

"Santana," Rachel said, her voice was calm and collected as she looked at the Latina, "Sam is my friend."

"Like I act like that with my friends," Santana said and she raised an eyebrow as she looked at Rachel.

"You kind of do," Sam tried to add in but Rachel had her right hand raised and she tried to place it over his mouth so that he wouldn't keep talking but she didn't have to, Sam didn't say anything more.

Santana was about to protest when Rachel shook her head and looked at the former cheerleader, "You act the same way that Sam and I are acting with Brittany," Rachel said as she looked at Santana waiting for the Latina to say something, "so if you and Brittany just are friends then you shouldn't say anything about the way that Sam and I are acting."

"Yeah," Sam said and he smiled at Rachel and he wanted to stuck his tongue out at Santana but he knew better than that, and he could tell that the whole room was waiting for Santana to almost jump right ahead at Rachel without warning they had seen her almost do those things before but this time Santana didn't do anything.

"So what you are saying is that you are doing the things that me and Britt are doing with Sam?"

Rachel looked at Santana as she tried to figure out if there were something more that Santana was getting at and from what Rachel could tell there was something that looked much like a small glimmer in both of Santana's eyes, "No," Rachel said as she continued to look at Santana and at the same time she tried to find Sam's hand she needed some support before she continued on with what she was trying to tell Santana and the rest of the room, Sam took a couple of steps closer to Rachel, he placed his left arm around her waist and pulled Rachel closer to himself, "what I am trying to tell you, is that Sam and I are just friends."

"Exact," Sam said and he nodded his head in agreement, and there was more to be said about this but they never got the chance to continue on with this before Mister Schuester came walking in to the room and he was smiling at them.

"Does anyone have a song for us?" the teacher asked as he looked at the students but no one said anything, "guys come on, it's Christmas, show me some Christmas spirit."

Sam knocked on the door and no one had opened the door to let him in, he waited a few more minutes before he knocked on the again, but there was still no one that opened the door, and he looked around a little and he didn't see any of the cars that had been present the other two nights that he had been there. Sam fished his phone up from his pocket and started to tap away and he sent a text to Rachel and she was there not even a minute after he had sent the message Rachel stood there in front of him after she had opened the door.

Sam smiled when he saw Rachel, she was dressed in a pair of light pink sweatpants and a tanktop, her hair was up in a messy bun, he could hear the music coming from what he guessed was her room and he understood why she hadn't been able to hear him knocking on the door but Sam was still surprised that neither Hiram or Leroy had opened the door.

"Are we going to stand out here the whole night?" Sam asked as Rachel he smiled at her, and Rachel let her head fall down a little, so that she was looking down on her feet.

"Come in," Rachel said as she took a step to the side to let Sam walk inside the house, the boy took his jacket of and he hung it next to Rachel's yellow coat, he kicked of his shoes and placed them to the side.

"Where are your dads?" Sam asked as the two of them walked together up the stairs, Sam was looking around, he hadn't seen either one of her fathers or heard them, he couldn't smell the scent of the home cooked meals that he had gotten the previous nights.

"They had to work late tonight," Rachel said as she sat down on her bed, and she continued to say"I was just going to watch some movies," Sam sat down next to her on the bed, he pulled Rachel against himself, and he head was resting against his shoulder, as Sam was looking for the remote.

"So what are we watching?" Sam asked as he pressed play on the remote control to the DVDplayer.

Rachel suck in her lower lip before she bit down on it, "I was going to watch Funny Girl," she sat up a bit straighter and she looked at him, "but if you want we can watch something else." Rachel looked over at Sam as she tried to see what he was thinking.

"It's fine," Sam said and he reached for Rachel's hand and so that he could pull her closer so that she was resting against him, "I have never seen it," Sam confessed and he could see how Rachel's eyes grew a couple of sizes and he smiled when he saw her reaction.

"Have you seen any of Barbra's movies?" Rachel asked and she reached for the remote and paused the movie and looked at Sam, she could see how he was avoiding eye contact with her, "Samuel Evans, you better answer me."

"I haven't," Sam confessed and his eyes fell, he couldn't look at Rachel and see the disappointment in her eyes, "but I want to, I had planned on watching some of her more iconic movies during winter break maybe you can watch them with me?" Sam looked to his left and he saw the light in Rachel's eyes when he had told her that and her whole face lit up.

"That sounds like an amazing idea," Rachel said and she moved closer to Sam so that she could snuggle up with him, and she was holding one of her arms over his stomach and Sam had both of his arms around Rachel, her head was resting against his chest, he closed his eyes just to take in the moment. Sam started to slowly trace small circles on the bare skin that was in the gap between Rachel's tanktop and sweatpants.

When the movie had come to an end, Sam looked down at Rachel's face and he noticed that she was sound asleep and he didn't know what he was going to do, Sam knew that if he moved off the bed there was a big possibility that Rachel would wake up and that was one thing he didn't want to happen, and if he didn't movie from the bed he wouldn't be able to get home and besides those two things, well Sam had no idea on what Rachel's fathers would say if they found him in the same bed as Rachel even if the two of them was just sleeping, even if that was all that they had done, Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath.

The boy looked around and he noticed his phone laying on the bedside table, he was glad that he had left it there and not in his pocket, he took the phone and scrolled down his contacts before he placed a call to his mother and told her that he was going to stay longer probably the night. Sam was glad that Rachel was still sleeping, because he didn't want her to hear the conversation that he was having with his mother.

As he had ended the conversation with his mother he looked around and he saw a blanket laying down at the foot of the bed and he reached for it before he pulled it over the two of them, and Rachel snuggled closer to him, Sam pulled his arms around her and held her close, and he placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Good night," Sam whispered against Rachel's ear, "There is so much I want to tell you, but I can't," was the last thing he said before he closed his eyes and let sleep come to him.

What Sam didn't know was that Rachel had heard the last part of what Sam had said, and she smiled, her lips were gracing Sam's neck, and she fell asleep with a smile on her lips, she felt safe and warm where she was laying, with Sam's arms around her.

Sam woke up the next morning when he felt something pressing against him, and he smiled when he remembered what had happened the night before, and he looked down and he saw Rachel laying there, half of her body was laying on top of him, she had her head nuzzled in the crook of his neck and her lips were gracing his neck, and he felt the warmth from her breath against his skin, he placed his arms around her waist, and he closed his eyes for a second, just taking in what was happening, and that was when Rachel started to grind against him, he closed his eyes harder and started to count, he didn't want to let Rachel wake up, feeling his erection against her leg or center, but it was hard to keep it down from what Rachel was doing, and the girl soon let out a moan.

"Rachel," Sam whispered as he ran his hands through her hair and he could feel how Rachel was moving, "Rachel," he tried again as he placed small kisses on her face, particular her forehead and cheeks, lips was a no-no right now. He saw how her face started to break out in a smile.

"Good Morning," Rachel said and Sam heard a bit of raspiness in her voice, "what time is it?"

"Morning to you too," Sam said and he pulled her completely on top of himself, "it's," Sam said as he turned his head to see what time it was, "6.30 and Friday."

"I need to get up," Rachel said as she tried to get out from the hold that Sam had.

"Just a few minutes more," Sam said and pouted at her, "We slept together and I want to snuggle."

"What?" Rachel almost yelled as she sat up and looked at Sam.

"We slept together," Sam said as he sat up, "as in sleeping."

"Oh," Rachel said and looked down on her own body and then over at Sam's she was still dressed in her sweatpants and tank top, Sam was just wearing his boxers, when she noticed that she turned her head way, Sam looked really good, and those abs was really nice, she wished that she would have known this before she sat up.

"And I forget to tell you," Sam said and she reached for Rachel's hands and he held her hands and he looked her in the eyes, "I have seen a Barbra movie before last night."

"Which one?" Rachel asked and she sat next to him, and she let him pull her closer before the laid down on the bed again, with Rachel snuggling up against Sam.

"Meet the Fockers."

"That doesn't count," Rachel said as she snapped her head around so she was looking at Sam, and Sam couldn't help himself any longer, he leaned closer to Rachel his lips were just about to connected with hers in a first kiss when there was a knock on the door, and the moment were gone.

Sam ran his hands through his hair and Rachel smoothed down her clothes before she called, "come in." The door was opened up and the two of them could see Leroy standing in the doorway.

"Sam," Leroy said and looked at the boy, "Rachel, go down stairs and eat breakfast I need to talk to Sam." The girl nodded her head and Sam sat up in the bed, with the cover resting against his body as he waited for Rachel's father to start and talk to him.

"Sam," Leroy said and he stood up and Sam was sitting on the bed, and the man looked even bigger right now, "I didn't want to do this in front of Rachel because she would get defensive and not let you talk," Sam nodded his head as she waited for him to sat what he wanted to have said, "I just want to know what happened between the two of you and of course what your intention is with my daughter."

"We," Sam started to say, he didn't really know what to tell him, "We watched Funny Girl last night, it was pretty good," Sam saw the looked on Leroy's face, the older man was smiling and shaking his head, "and she fell asleep and I didn't want to wake her and then I fell asleep too."

"And…" Leroy asked as he looked at Sam.

"We just slept," Sam said and he looked down on his lap, "and we haven't even kissed," the young man said in a low voice before looking up at Leroy, "and I hope that Rachel will agree to go on a date with me tonight."

Leroy had big smile on his face when he heard Sam talking and telling him about how he was feeling and what his intention towards Rachel was and he couldn't help but to smile, Leroy knew that Sam would do whatever he could to make sure that Rachel did what her dreams told her to do and not hold her back.

"Ask her," Leroy said as she looked at Sam, "and I will let you borrow a shirt."

"Thank you," Sam said and he let out a breath, he hadn't really thought about that, he had hoped that he would have had some time to get back home to change but time had been flying away from him.

"Just make her happy."

"I'll do my best."
