"How do I look?" Tina asked Rachel as she was spinning around. Tina was trying to find the perfect outfit to wear to Mike's place. Rachel was sitting on the couch in her sweats drinking some coffee.

"I think that look would be the best since you are going over there to watch football games." Rachel answered.

"Ok then, I'm heading off. I'll see you later tonight." Tina told Rachel as she grabbed her jacket and walked out the door.

Tina was walking to Mike's place and was getting more and more nervous with each step. She really liked Mike and didn't want to say or do anything to ruin the night. Tina really enjoyed learning more information about Mike and knew today was going to be a turning point. This was technically their first date; everything else could have been classified as friend things. She finally reached Mike's building and started to walk up to his apartment.

Tina knocked on the door and heard Mike walk to the door on the other side. "Hey you found this place!"

"Yeah it wasn't nearly as hard to find as I thought it would be." Tina said as she walked in and laid her jacket on the side of the couch. She turned around to look at Mike and really paid attention to what he was wearing.

"So I guess we are going to match today." Tina said laughing seeing as they were both wearing jeans and a football jersey.

Mike had a table full of snacks. He had chips and dip as Tina had requested, plus sodas and a small veggie platter. They had ordered pizza shortly after the game started. He could tell that she was genuinely a huge football fan. Many time throughout the game he found himself just looking at her amazed. Mike knew he had only known her for two weeks but at the same time knew that he felt that this wasn't going to be a short term relationship.

Their home state team had won causing them both to jump up and down and cheer like crazy. Once they had settled down, they were sitting back on the couch catching their breaths.

"It's only 3:30. Do you have to go soon or can you stay for awhile?" Mike asked.

"I can stay for awhile." Tina said smiling.

Rachel was sitting on the couch still. She was trying to catch up on all of her shows that she had recorded throughout the week. The whole Noah situation still had her feeling down. It was still strange to her that he could have this much of a hold on her. They hadn't known each other long but she was sure they were moving to more than just classmates or friends. No matter how she felt though, the thought of him being a "Player" was really upsetting to her. How would she be able to trust him? Rachel realized then the only way to solve this would be to confront him about it and hear what he has to say. She started to think about what she should say to him or if he would even be in class tomorrow, when she started to feel sad all over again and then decided to turn on a comedy.

Rachel had just sat back down with a new cup of coffee and bagel when she heard a knock at the door. She stood up and just opened it not even looking first. Her jaw fell open as she saw Noah standing there with his hands on the door frame as if they were holding him up.

"Wh-What are you doing here Noah?" Rachel stuttered out.

Noah pushed past her and walked right into the house. Rachel closed the door and turned to sit on the arm of the couch while Noah was passing back and forth across her living room.

"Rachel, I know Finn told you about my past especially my high school years. I spent all of my energy then to be the biggest badass in school. So yes I had many relationships and one night adventures I guess you could say. The thing was that with every girl, I didn't have to try. I knew that I would walk up to any girl and just say when and where and they would be there doing anything I wanted. I was like a God. Then I come up here and meet you. You are beautiful, have a badass attitude, and incredibly talented. I felt intimidated for the first time and felt the need to know you more. I had planned on asking you to get dinner with me some time but Finn had brought you to our dorm first. The moment I saw your face that day I knew. I knew you had found out and you were disgusted by me and you have a right to be. I have realized since then that I like you Rachel and I just don't want to throw in the towel before we even try. Please don't punish me for stupid mistakes in the past. I'm a great guy; I just need you to give me a chance." Noah had finally finished. Rachel was just staring at him. He couldn't tell if she was still mad or in shock.

"I um, I like you too Noah and I want to trust you but we are going to have to go slow. We will be exclusively dating but I decided how fast this relationship goes. I don't want to be pushed…" Rachel was saying until Noah had walked over to her a kissed her. Rachel had a few first kisses but knew this first kiss would be one to remember.

Mike and Tina had decided to go ahead and start Singin' in the Rain. They were sitting next to each other on Mike's small couch and he had his arm wrapped around her shoulders. About halfway through the movie, Tina had pulled her legs up next to her on the couch and leaned into Mike when she did that. Mike wrapped his arm around her waist then and pulled her closer to him. They had stayed like that until the movie ended.

When the credits started to roll, Mike looked down at her "What would you like to do now?"

"Could we play 10 questions? It's like 20 questions but sorter." Tina suggested.

"Sure sounds great to me." Mike said excitedly as the both straightened up and sat Indian style facing each other on the couch. "You go first."

"Birthday?" "July 7"

"Birthday?" "October 1 6"

"Favorite movie?" "Grease but don't tell anyone."

"Favorite movie?" "Dirty Dancing"

"Favorite song?" "Stand By Me"

"Favorite song?" "True Colors"

"First thing you noticed about me?" "How happy you are when you are dancing."

"First thing you noticed about me?" "I'm apparently very superficial Mike. The first I noticed was how hot you were. I was seriously trying to figure out how I was going to survive the class when my teacher looks like an Asian God."

"Tell me something most people don't know about you?" "My dad was ashamed of me when I first told him I wanted to be a dancer. It was two years before he saw one of my performances and finally gave me his blessing."

"Something most people don't know about you?" "I love to paint. My adoptive mom always paints to relax on the weekends and I wanted to be just like her when I was younger. So now I paint to relax.

"I had no idea you were adopted." Mike said as he scooted closer to her on the couch and puller her into a kiss. When they finally broke apart a few minutes later, they were both flush from the kiss.

"Mike, I have something I need to talk to you about. I haven't had many boyfriends but this feels different. When I kiss you, it's something I've never felt before. It feels like fireworks every time. I need to know if you feel the same way." Tina told him.

"This is different Tina. I see fireworks too." Mike said as he kissed again.

Tina was walking home that night with a huge smile thinking about everything that happened during the day. Mike felt the same way towards her that she felt for him and she couldn't be happier. She was walking into her apartment then and saw Rachel curled up with Puck on their couch. Tina had to hold back a laugh and covered Rachel up with a blanket and went to bed.

Rachel's phone buzzed at 6am just like every morning causing her to slowly wake up. When she opened her eyes she saw that she was lying against Noah and he was fast asleep. It took her a minute to remember everything that happened the night before. After their kiss, they both sat on the couch and watched some shows and ended falling asleep. Rachel turned around to wake Noah up.

"Noah it's time to get up for school." Rachel whispered to him.

Noah's eyes slowly fluttered open then. "Sorry for falling asleep here last night."

"No it's really ok. We do need to get up for class though. I will see you then." Rachel said getting up and walking to the door with Noah following her. He leaned down and kissed her "See you in class Rachel"

Rachel went to go jump in the shower then. She was starting to feel like Tina with being happy all the time. When she walked out of the bathroom in her robe with her hair wrapped up on a towel, she saw Tina sitting on one of the bar stools leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee.

"So I take it you and Puck made up." Tina said as she took a sip.

"Oh shut up" Rachel said with a huge smile on her face and closed the door to her bedroom.

Rachel couldn't wait to get to Mr. Shue's class. She couldn't wait to see if Noah was still the same as he was when he left her place that morning. When she reached the classroom she saw Noah and Mr. Shue talking in his office. She went ahead and found her seat and pulled out her notebook like any other day.

"Thanks again Mr. Shue. I really appreciate this." Rachel heard Noah say as they guys walked into the classroom. Noah was walking back to his seat when Mr. Shue started class. "Ok guys, so as most of you know we had auditions for the musical this last Saturday. We have only casted the parts for Tony and Maria so far. The role of Maria will be played by our own Rachel Berry." Everyone in the class started clapping and Mercedes gave Rachel a hug and then Rachel turned to Noah. Noah pulled her into a hug a whispered into her ear. "Congrats Rach! You deserve this." "Ok settle back down guys. "Mr. Shue started again. "The other parts are still being cast and we still have a few auditions to get through. So the rest of the list will be up on Friday."

Rachel sent a quick text to Tina before the rest of the class started.

Tina was running to Mike's class. Mike was the only one in there so far. Running right up to him she gave him a huge hug. "Hey how are you today?" Mike asked slightly laughing and surprised by her behavior. "Rachel got the part of Maria! I'm so happy for her." Tina said as she pulled back to put her stuff on the ground. "That's great! Tell her I said congrats." The rest of the students started walking in to the class then.

"Ok so now that everyone is stretched. I hope you have all been thinking about what routines you want to do for the show in a few weeks. There is a signup sheet on the table and it will stay there until Friday. Now as I said this week we are working on partner dances. Seeing as how Rory quit the class last we for being "too hard", I will be participating as well. I will show you all the basics then have all of you partner up and make sure you are all doing it properly. Tomorrow I will introduce a small routine for you to perform with your partner in front of the rest of the class on Friday. So I want everyone to sit and watch Tina and me." Mike told the class as Tina stood up.

"Great job today guys! I will see you tomorrow." Mike said as he walked back to his table that Tina was standing next to. "So I was thinking, this Saturday after our homework session and first dance rehearsal for your routines, we go on an official first date. I'm thinking dinner and a Broadway show."

"Are you serious? That sounds perfect!" Tina said jumping into Mike's arms.

"Ok great! I will call you tonight then. Later T."
