Chapter 7
Rachel had made the call to Kurt around noon, just as she had promised; the two of them had decided that they were going to be meeting up for some coffee and gossip.
Rachel knew that Kurt would want to know everything about the date and besides that Rachel needed to talk to someone about the date itself and everything else that was going on in her life.
/
Sitting at the Lima Bean and talking more like gossiping had now become something that they did on a regular basis, and Brittany was also a part of the group, the only thing that was missing right now was a fourth member and they would form their own version of 'Sex and the City'.
Rachel was the first one to spot Brittany walking in to the Bean, and she could see that the blonde former cheerleader had company with her this time.
"Hi," the blonde said as she walked up to the table, she pushed her company next to Kurt before she herself sat down next to Rachel.
"Brittany, nice to see you again," Kurt said and then he turned to the woman that sat next to him, "and you too, Santana," he smiled at them, "you two are right on time, you are about to hear all about Rachel's date."
Brittany broke in to a big smile and looked at Kurt before she turned to Rachel, and she was about to ask her about something and the brunette had a feeling about what it was going to be.
"Yes," Rachel said and looked at her, "it was Noah."
"Yay," Brittany said and clapped her hands, the blonde turned to her best friend, "Rachel crossed the river."
"So I guess that it was denial at first then," Santana said and looked at Rachel first and then at Kurt.
Kurt was the first one to speak, "How did you know that?" and as he looked at the Latina who rolled her eyes at him.
"Three reasons," Santana said, "One it's Berry and Puckerman," Kurt nodded knowingly, he realized that he should have known that, "Two, Britt's my best friend."
"And the third one?" Rachel asked and looked at Santana, who in return was shaking her head.
"You don't know?" Santana asked and looked at the shorter brunette, "I'm awesome."
"A better reason than that," Rachel said and shook her head, "because that is not a reason."
"It's reason," the Latina challenged herm "or I can use A again if you would like."
"A?" Rachel asked, and just as she asked the question she realized what Santana meant, "that's not necessary."
"Good," was Santana's reply as she looked at the other two that was sitting at the table, "so what are you doing besides dating Puckerman?"
"My guess is that Brittany has filled you in," Kurt said and took a sip of his coffee, "but today we are here because we want and need details from what they were doing on their date."
"Details, nice," Santana said and smiled.
"There is no need for that," Rachel said and glared at them.
"Yes, we need details," Kurt said and looked at her about to raise an eyebrow, "how else are we going to be able to help you."
"You aren't going to help me," Rachel said and she looked at her friends while she was shaking her head and they were doing the same, "I'm going to handle this myself."

Sunday were normally a day to relax and not doing anything special for Rachel. This Sunday was different for Rachel; she had been woken by a call form Noah, who had told her that he was stopping by.
And when she had been eating her breakfast with her fathers they had told her that they were going to go away for the day and that they would be back later that same night.
As she opened the door when someone had knocked on it, she was a bit surprised to see Noah there so soon, her fathers had just left, it might have been five minutes that had passed. To Rachel this almost looked like he had been staking out at the house to see when the Berry men were leaving and then he had waited a minute or so just to be on the safe side.
"What's the plan?" Puck asked as he sat down on the couch and he looked at Rachel.
"I was just going to relax," Rachel replied and looked at him, "Like people are say that I can't do," she had her head resting against his shoulder with her eyes closed, "and maybe watch a couple of movies and some reality show depending on what they are showing."
"That's boring," Noah said and he placed a kiss on her head, "I bet that there are something else that we can do."
"Noah," Rachel said and turned her head towards him, "I need to relax and what you are implying isn't relaxing."
"It's relaxing," Puck said and smiled at her, "but I believe that there might be some movies here that we could watch." He got a big smile from her and he couldn't help but to return it, "but no musicals."
Rachel turned her head as fast as she could and looked at him like he had lost his mind, and when she looked at him she stuck out her lower lip and let it quiver a little, so that it looked like she was about to start to cry.
"Maybe one," Puck said as she saw the look at her face, which was all it took for Rachel to give him the biggest smile she could muster up.
"I knew that you would see this my way," Rachel said and turned her head up so that she was looking into his green eyes, his eyes were almost sparkling at her.
"I'll always see your way," Puck said and placed his arms around her back, "it might take me awhile but I will always see things your way."
Rachel smiled at him, he was sweet, and she took her lip between her teeth and smiled at him as she saw the smile he was giving her.
"Because I know that I'll get things that I would want," Puck said as he looked at her, and slowly Rachel's smile started to disappear as she had heard what he said.
"So you are just agreeing with me so that you'll get the things that you want?" Rachel asked as she tried to get away from him, "just so that you can get into my pants?"
"Do you honestly believe that?" Puck asked as she looked her in her eye and the only thing that Rachel could do was to give him a small shake of her head, "it might have been that at first-" Rachel looked at him with disappointment in her eyes, "-in High School," and Rachel smiled at him again, "but you know that I have never really been able to say no to anything that you ask of me."
"I know that," Rachel said and she rested her head against his chest, and she was about to say something more when she felt his lips pressing against her own.
"You need to stop talking so much," Puck said as he released her lips from the kiss, "we can put your lips and mouth to better use."
"I know that you think that," Rachel said and smiled at him, "but it's time for a movie."
/
Rachel continued on with her life as she had done so far, she was meeting up with her friends and she had been hanging out if you could call it that with Puck and during one of their talks the subject of her ex, Finn, came up and the one thing that had been said was that she needed to figure out this whole thing, both Rachel and Puck knew that she didn't have any romantic feelings left to him but there was still some things that needed to be resolved. Puck had told her that those things would need to be fixed before they would take any more steps in their relationship.
And that conversation was what had led to Rachel sitting in Breadstix waiting for Finn to come, she was drumming her fingers against the table, it was a nervous habit that she had picked up.
"Sorry," Finn said as he sat down at the table, "you wanted to talk."
"Wanted not really," Rachel said as she waved down a waitress, "more like forced."
"But you love to talk," he said and he looked at her, Rachel just shook her head.
"Yes, I do like to be verbal at times," Rachel said and smiled at the waitress who had reached their table, "when I myself chose to be so."
"Okay," the tall young man said, "So we are here, you need to tell me why we are here."
"Noah says that I need to resolve my feelings for you before he will move forward with our relationship," Rachel explained to Finn.
"So you have feelings for me?" Finn asked and looked at Rachel; they hadn't really talked or had any contact since she had moved to New York after graduation.
"Not like that," Rachel said, knowing that she had to explain this to him again, "we haven't really talked about what happened."
"We broke up because you didn't want to stay behind in Lima with me."
"And I told you about my plan after Nationals junior year," Rachel said, "even before we got back together," she looked at him, "but when it was time, you didn't really accept it."
"I loved you," Finn screamed, and they got a few looks form the other customers.
"Then you could have followed me."
"You could have stayed."
"I told you before, and I have told you many times, that my dreams are bigger than Lima," Rachel said and looked at him, "bigger than you, than any boy really," Rachel was getting frustrated at him; she had known that this would happen.
"So breaking up was my fault?" he asked, Rachel looked at him, she knew that he had to know that she knew about it.
"I know all about your hook ups behind my back," Rachel said and looked at him, "before we broke up for the last time," Finn looked at her, he couldn't understand why she hadn't said anything about it before, "I know all about your indiscretions."
"What?" Finn asked as he looked at her, "I don't have and I didn't have any indigestions problems."
"Indiscretions, not indigestive," Rachel said and looked at him, "Your cheating."
"I didn't cheat," Finn said and looked hurt.
"You did," Rachel said and looked at him, "but I'm not blaming you for it."
"Okay," Finn said and looked at her, "I mean we were going to break up anyway."
"But it hurt," Rachel said and it almost looked and sounded like they were having two different conversations.
"So can we say that all of this is in the past and it won't interfere with any of our relationships?" Rachel asked and she looked at Finn who nodded his head, "good, then we can continue on eating."
"I have one question," Finn said and he gave her a cheap smile.
"What Finn," she sighed.
"Is Brittany single?"
/
Rachel called Noah the next day and she told him that the things between her and Finn had been resolved and left in the past where they belonged.
That meant that she was going to go out with him on a date tonight, and she knew that they were going to have an important conversation.
/
It was that same evening and both Puck and Rachel was out on their, well, Rachel wasn't sure on what number to put on it, it was the third one out to eat at a restaurant and that kind of stuff but did their dates they had at his place with a DVD and take out count, and the help that he gave her count, they did make out during those.
It was a lot of questions that still needed answers and she hoped that she would get them tonight.
The most important question for Rachel to have an answer to was if he was her boyfriend and she didn't want to be the one that brought that up, if there was one thing that she wasn't going to do, it was to push him.
"Princess," Rachel looked up when she heard her nickname, it was the nickname that Noah had given her, and he was giving her a small smile, "what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, Noah," Rachel said and she smiled at him as she tried her best to convince him that everything was fine.
"It's something, you know you can tell Uncle Puck," he said and Rachel almost shivered at the thought.
"That's just creepy," the brunette said and looked at him but at the same time she was about to laugh when she saw the look he was sporting.
"But you stopped thinking about whatever it was that you were thinking about," Puck said and looked at her and Rachel shook her head.
"Never change, Noah, never change," Rachel said and smiled at him.
"I won't, I promise," he said and he reached for one of her hands and Rachel changed the grip when he had her hand is his, so that their fingers were laced together, "but tell me what you were thinking about."
"So here is the situation," Rachel said and she wet her lips with her tongue, "if we were to meet one of your coworkers," Puck looked at her he knew that more was coming so he waited to hear the whole question, "how would you introduce me?"
"That's what you have been thinking about?" Puck asked and he was about to start laughing, "We would never do that here."
"But if we did what would you call me?"
"This is Rachel, she's my friend," Puck said and he shrugged his shoulder, "I don't really know."
"You don't know?" Rachel asked and looked at him, "You don't know what I am to you, thank you so much for that."
"It's no big deal."
"Take me home, Noah," Rachel said and she left the table, and she now wished that her fathers had been home so that she wouldn't have to get a ride from Noah, well he was acting a lot like Puck right now.
"Rach, wait," Puck called after her when she ran after her, "I know what I would call you."
"What would you call me?" She asked and looked at him; she knew that she needed the answer to the question before she told he what she had wanted to hear from him.
"I would call you my girlfriend," Puck said and smiled at her, his eyes were glimmering, she could see that he had a lot more that he wanted to say to her, but she didn't give him a chance to say it.
Rachel grabbed him by his collar and pulled him closer, their bodies were touching, and she pulled him down, by placing one of her arms around his neck, and she kissed him, and as she broke the kiss she was smiling at him, and she could see the grin that Noah was spotting.
"What did I do to deserve that?" he asked and smiled at her.
"You called me your girlfriend," Rachel said and she had a huge smile on her face.
"If I get that response every time I call you my girlfriend then I'll do it all the time."
"Don't get any ideas, Noah," Rachel said and she was smiling at him, "I am your girlfriend."
"Yep," Puck said and raised an eyebrow, "and do you want to know what I do with my girlfriend's."
"I told you," Rachel said and swatted him on his chest, "don't get any ideas."
/
After the conversation between Rachel and Puck everything had been going somewhat smooth, Rachel had been in a good mood and she hadn't really complained about going to her physical therapy, the best part of that was that she had start to plant a seed or two to Brittany that she should start dating and the brunette had been hinting more than once that Finn was single and also that they two of them would have a lot in common, but Rachel still had a hard time to get Brittany to grasp the straw that Rachel was handing her.
But Rachel knew that it was just a matter of time before it actually happened, maybe she should ask for help from someone like Kurt or maybe Noah. Just think about the double dates they could have.
/
Friday night had turned out to be their date night, at least for Puck and rachel right now, and most of the time was actually spent in his apartment, it was there they could be alone and not get interrupted, at least no too much.
However this Friday both Hiram and Leroy were supposed to be working late, so Rachel had decided that the two of them were going to spend some time at the Berry house, variation was after all a good thing, well at least that was what Rachel thought and Puck had agreed.
He didn't really care about where they were as long as he got to make out with his girlfriend and maybe some more too.
"Princess," Puck said as the two of them were snuggled together at the couch, Rachel was resting her head against his chest, he placed a kiss on her temple, Rachel looked up at him, "we've seen Funny Girl many times and I mean many times."
"But its Barbra," Rachel said nothing more and nothing less, and she face the TV again.
Rachel could feel how Puck moved his hands slowly up her legs and then her thigh, and he stopped when he had reached her butt, and he let one of his hands rest there, she turned around and gave him a quick glare before she turned back to face the TV again.
"Don't give me that look," Puck said and he started to move around a little, he wanted to find a more comfortable position, "your ass belongs to me."
That was all it took for Rachel to fully turn around and forget about what they were watching, she slowly straddle his waist and she started to poke him in the chest, "You don't own my buttock or anything else on my body."
"Are you sure about that?" Puck asked and he hooked both of his arms around her neck and pulled her down so that he could find her lips with his own, it didn't take long before he had his lower lip between her teeth, and Rachel was pulling slightly on it when they broke thee kiss.
Puck let his hands work the back of her thighs and up to her butt where he let them rest a little before he squeezed it a little and then he continued the journey that his hands were making along her back, and under her shirt, and as he did that he turned them around.
He was now hovering over her; he had all of his weight on his arms as he looked down at her and smiled, "Did you say something?"
Rachel was about to answer him when she let out a moan, instead of listening to what it was that Rachel might have to say, Noah let his lips move along her neck, up and he found one of her spots that he knew about, it just below one of her ears, he started to slowly suck and nipping around the spot before he almost attached himself to it.
Puck let one of his hands slowly move up her stomach trying to find one of her breasts, somewhere along the make out session he had managed to her shirt of and she was now laying beneath him writhing, as he reached her breasts he moved his hand to her back trying his best to find the clasp to her bra, Rachel noticed what he was about to do but she didn't really care.
This was not High School that was one thing that Noah was thankful for; he could feel how Rachel tried her best to grind her hips against his, as she needed more friction. Their lips met in frenzy, and he ran his tongue against her lips and she granted his access as soon as she noticed what he was doing, both of them knew where this was heading and neither one of them cared about that right now.
They were brought back to reality when they both heard a voice.
"You," Puck sat up as soon as he heard the voice, he had moved so fast that he didn't really know what he was doing, the young man looked around and tried to find a shirt that he could hand to Rachel, he just threw the shirt that was closest to them, "leave."
"Hiram," Puck said and looked at the shorter man, they had always gotten along just fine, and this was the reaction that he had expected from Leroy.
"Daddy," Rachel said as she looked at Hiram.
"What's going on?" Leroy asked as she entered the room he had heard the voices and he looked around and she saw the state that his daughter and her boyfriend were in.
"He, he…" Hiram said, he was so mad that he couldn't form words, but the balding man turned to his husband, "Lee."
"Hiram," Leroy said he didn't like what he was seeing but Rachel was a young woman, of course she was going to have a sexlife even if he didn't want to think about that, "you know that they are dating and in love."
"But he was about to deflower out baby girl on that couch," Hiram said and glared at Puck, and he took of his glasses.
"Do you honestly still believe that she is a virgin?" Leroy asked and looked at Hiram that was what it to snap Rachel out of the shock she had been in ever since her dad had walked in on them.
"Dad!" Rachel exclaimed, "Neither of you has the right to talk about that."
"Rachel," Leroy said and looked at her," You don't have to act offended you're a woman and you have needs."
"Please," Rachel said and hid her face in her hands, "can we not talk about this at all."
"I agree with Rachel," Hiram said and he turned to Puck, "But you need to leave."
"Okay," Puck said and he turned around to give Rachel a kiss good bye before he left, but in the corner of his eye he saw a disappointed Hiram, "Sorry," he whispered in her ear, this really felt like he was back in High School and if he as honest this was not the first time they had been caught by her fathers, the first time had been in High School but this was so much worse.
