Chapter 7: I Think I Meant It

"You were amazing!"

"Great job!"

"Thanks Dad, thank you Daddy."

"We have to head back to Ohio now. Are you going to come back with us Noah?"

"No, there's really no point in me going back to Ohio."

"That makes sense, I hope whatever you have to do goes smoothly." Leon winked.

Creepy. "Thanks Mr. Berry."

"You're Welcome."

Once they left Puck looked over at Rachel, who looked very confused.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"My father winked at you."

"Well I can't help it if your dad is creepy."

"My father is not creepy! Tell me the truth Noah."

"I have some stuff to take care of back in Long Island so your dad was just wishing me luck."

"Okay...So are you heading back to Long Island tonight?"

"Um...nah, I can put it off a little longer."

"Well do you have somewhere to stay?"

"nope."

"You can stay at my apartment if you would like Noah, but know that this is not an invitation into bed."

"You mean not yet."

"You're disgusting!"

"You want me."

"Look Noah, I'm being very generous letting you stay at my apartment, don't make me regret it."

"I can't promise anything." he said with a smirk.

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Are you hungry?"

"Yea, but I don't want to go to any of the vegan friendly places you probably eat at."

"Actually, I'm not a vegan anymore, it was too much of a hassle...how about Friday's?"

"Oh, no, we're going to Red Robin. It would be my greatest pleasure to watch you scarf down a gigantic burger."

"Alright Noah, Red Robin it is."

At Red Robin

"Can I start you off with some drinks?"

"I'll have a root beer."

"Water for me."

"OK, I'll have that right out."

"Wow Berry, a water? really?"

"It's the least expensive item and it's good for my voice, actually apple juice would be better, but it's just as well."

"Whatever Berry."

"We are both adults now Noah, would you please refrain from calling me by my surname. My name is Rachel."

"Whatever Rachel."

"Thank you."

"Here are your drinks, are you ready to order?"

"Not yet, can we just get some fries to start?"

"Sure."

"Our waitress is very attractive, how is her butt Noah?"

"What do you take me for?"

She raised her eyebrows at him.

"It looked very toned."

"God you're gross!"

"You asked."

"Here are your fries, are you ready to order?"

"Yes, I'll have the Whiskey River BBQ Burger."

"And you?"

"I'll just have an Asian Chicken Salad."

"Wait, wait, wait, she'll also have a Banzai Burger."

"Okay, I'll get right on that."

"Berry, I came here to see you eat a burger and you're gonna eat one."

"Fine. And stop calling me that."

Awkward Silence

"So are we gonna talk about what happened before?"

"What are you speaking of?"

"You practically jumped me in your dressing room!"

"I did no such thing! You provoked me!"

"And how exactly did I provoke you!"

"You told me you loved me!"

"Oh, right, um..."

"Did you mean it?"

"Fuck Rach, I don't know. It was heat of the moment and I just said it. I don't know what it means."

"How do you feel now?"

"I really don't know."

"Well I need to know that you're not just using me."

"Rachel, I'm not using you. I don't even know what I would be using you for."

"Me neither, but you know how I feel from my journal and I have no idea what is going on in your head."

"Do you still feel that way?"

"You were right, my feelings didn't just go away. When I saw you, I just..."

"Here's your salad, and here are the burgers."

"Um, thanks."

"Let's not get into this here Noah, we'll talk later."

"Fine. Oh and by the way Rach, I think I meant it."

a/n: Woo! I got some serious writer's block while writing this one, but I'm back and better than ever! Hope you liked it! Drama comes soon! Review!
