Chapter 4

Rachel's POV

It's the day, Oh my god, it's today. I have my first performance today. What if I mess up? Oh god I can't sing. My lines, what are my lines. I spent the whole day rehearsing and worrying about the performance, I couldn't let anyone down, and I was Belle I had to play the part just right. I can't go on I can't do this.

By the time it was lunch I had given myself so many negative comments, I couldn't face going out with Kurt for lunch, so instead I stayed in my dressing room practicing. I was going through my lines when I heard a knock on the door, I wasn't expecting anyone as most people had left for lunch and home, as we were given the afternoon of to relax our voices. In front of me was Noah, I should of guessed he would come by, but what I didn't expect was some red roses in a purple vase which was covered in gold stars, I looked up to him shocked. Why was here? I was already nervous; i didn't need to be any more.

Me: Noah what are you doing here?

Noah: I thought you would need some support, as I knew you would be breaking down by this point, and by the looks of it I'm right.

Me: I guess you should come in then.

Noah stepped towards me then handed me the flowers, with a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with love.

Noah: I got these for you; I thought they would make you smile

I smiled at the comment and the fact that he had gone to the trouble of buying me flowers, this was very unexpected. At least it made me forget about the show slightly.

Me: Thank you, they are beautiful, you shouldn't have.

I went to put the flowers on my dressing table before giving him a big hug which lasted longer than I intended but I couldn't help myself, I feel at home when I hug him, my body fits into his perfectly, like we are made for each other. I shouldn't be thinking about this stuff.

Noah: No Problem. I was erm wandering if you wanted to get some lunch? (He looked down to the floor and avoided eye contact, it seemed like he was nervous)

Me: Well I wasn't planning on eating but since you asked so nicely, it will be nice to have lunch with you. Where would you like to go?

Noah: erm, we could to the little cafe around the corner

Me: Sure, let me just grab my bag then we can leave.

I turned to the sofa, and picked up my bag before turning back to him. Without thinking I slipped my hand into his, and lead him out of the door. The walk to the cafe was quiet, very few words were exchanged. I'm not sure if it was because of the tension or we just had nothing to say. I wanted to ask him if he meant what he said yesterday but I was too scared. As we reached the cafe, we were lead to a small table which was away from most customers; I began to think that God wanted us to be alone. We both ordered a coffee and a slice of pie each. Again it was silent until the food arrived.

The couple sat staring at each other waiting for the other one to speak; it was Rachel who started the conversation.

Rachel: This is a nice pie, don't you think?

Noah: Definitely, it is even better than my ma's

Rachel: I can't believe tonight I will be up on stage performing, it feels so dreamlike

Noah: Don't worry about it Rach, You will do brilliant. You should be excited, not nervous

Rachel: I know, I am excited, I just don't want to screw this up, if I do well in this, I should be able to get other parts as well.

Noah: I understand. Anyway let's stop talking about this I bought you here to distract you.

Rachel: Oh? What should we talk about then?

Noah: I want to take you out on your next day off. I have a surprise planned

Rachel: I'm free on Wednesday, but what is the surprise, as I am meant to relax that day?

Noah: Rach, I can't tell you it is a surprise, but I promise it will nice and relaxing.

Rachel: Fine, I will allow you take me out

After Rachel agreed Puck couldn't help but smile, his plan was in motion and he was looking forward to Wednesday, he just had to make a few phone calls. After paying the bill, Puck walked Rachel back to her dressing room only to realise that there was no one else around apart from the lighting crew.

Noah: err Babe, where is everyone?

Rachel: We don't have to be in until an hour before the show, I just wanted to stay and make sure I had everything to perfection.

Noah: Oh, well I'm going to stay with you and help you out. Have you got any beer in here?

Rachel: No, but I'm sure the guys probably do, I will go have a quick look

Rachel walked out the room, and Puck admired the way her hips swung when she walked, her ass wiggling. She was teasing him. Puck could feel his jeans getting tighter. He was going to either have to get laid tonight or have a cold shower; he hoped to have the first option.
