The Man You'll Marry
Sorry for the wait but my computer crashed with the same problem that caused it to go into the shop less than 2 months ago, that said I got a new computer and I'm still getting used to it…. Anyway thanks for reading and I know a lot of people want Santana and so I'm trying to coax the muse into including her next chapter (crosses fingers)
Just like the last time, visions of her kiss with Sam seemed to play in her mind like an old movie making her lose track of her sleep time. It wasn't until her cell buzzed that she realized it was already almost 11AM and she was still curled up lost in the throes of dreamland.
Picking up her phone she turned to see who it was, if it was someone, like her mother who she could easily ignore.
BLAINE
Biting her lip she began to ponder, sure she could ignore her brother's call however if she did she was sure that if she did then he would be banging down her door within the hour.
Letting out a small yawn she held the receiver toward her ear.
"Hello," she spoke; her voice is still kind of faint.
"Hey," Blaine said as enthusiastic as ever into her ear, "you sound terrible."
"I'm fine, I'm just waking up."
"So, I take it you had a late night? Must have had fun on your date."
Rachel rolled her eyes.
"It wasn't a date," she spat instantly before changing the subject, "So, how did the rest of your party go?"
Blaine let out a laugh as he knew his sister and could tell she was deflecting and so he decided to play along.
"It was great," Blaine said," well except for the fact that with your absence Kurt decided to take charge of the Karaoke machine."
"Saving the world from the tone deaf correct?"
Blaine let out a laugh.
"Sometimes I wonder if the reason I fell in love with him is because he's the male version of you sis."
It was now Rachel who let out a laugh before Blaine once more turned the table on her.
"So, Sam…the date…you know you're going to have to spill sooner or later."
It was in the moment her call waiting beeped and for a nanosecond she thought she was saved by the bell that was until she noticed that the person that was buzzing in was Quinn and she knew that she was between a rock and a hard place. She could either talk Sam with her brother or hang up to talk to Quinn and talk Sam with her.
"Quinn's beeping in Blaine, I've got to go."
"Fine, but don't think for a second that your off the hook from kissing and telling."
"Who says that I kissed?" she spoke, "never mind anyway dinner, sometime this week."
"It's a date."
Hanging up from Blaine she clicked a button and instantly heard Quinn's voice speaking a mile a minute.
"So, I made it to Blaine's party after all last night and Kurt tells me you ran off with some Bleached Blonde sex god…..Sam?"
"Yup."
"It was…."
"Don't say fate."
"I was going to say the dress…. You can't mess with the dress not when you've ran into this boy…this man…. This apparent sex god every day since you've received it."
"I know, and that's why I need to talk to you….now."
"Well Breadstix has some excellent lunch specials," Quinn began as visions of her night before flashed through Rachel's mind.
"No, not Breadstix."
Rachel hoped her tone didn't make Quinn question things and so she was relieved when the voice on the other end gladly suggested the local coffee bean instead.
"Be there in 20," Rachel finally said hanging up.
As she walked out of bed and made her way toward her closet her hands slowly caressed the various garments in their dress included as she wondered what to wear especially if she did run into Sam in some way shape of form.
'If I run into him today,' she mentally decided, 'I'm going to tell him that I'm in love with him….'
Eyeing a cream colored skirt and a matching top a smile crossed her lips thinking that at least if she had said run in she was going to look her very best.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Quinn looked Rachel's outfit up and down as she entered the coffee shop twenty minutes later on the dot.
"Got an audition later? A hot date perhaps?"
"Since when do I need an excuse to dress up?"
Quinn just flashed her an icy glare.
"Ok, so maybe I hope to run into Sam again."
Clapping her hands a huge smile crossed Quinn's lips.
"Oh, I know it! So what happened last night?"
"Well, we went to Breadstix and talked a bit, got to know each other like I found out that if he were a crayon he'd be Atomic Tangerine…"
Quinn rolled her eyes knowing that there was something a bit juicier that her friend was holding back and this was when the brunette dropped the bomb.
"And then he drove me home and we kissed."
"You kissed…..and then."
Rachel paused to process what Quinn was alluding to….
"If you're asking if we had sex no, it was a kiss that was all and that is all that can ever happen."
Quinn began to open her mouth.
"And don't bring up fate or the dress because I know all about it and I also know that Sam is engaged…. Which by the way that Santana is one lucky girl. Anyway maybe Chloe is wrong, maybe she got her vision befuddled and Sam wasn't the groom standing under the canopy and I am destined to marry someone else….you know I got an e-mail from J-Date the other day maybe I should call this guy up and set up a date….maybe….."
"Maybe your right….I mean I read your horoscope before I left and it said something about good fortune…."
Quinn was about proceed when Rachel's cell rang out causing her to pause, a smile crossing her lips as Rachel looked down at the display screen.
ARTIE
Not saying anything to her companion Rachel picked up.
"Hello," she said.
"Rachel, hey….."
"If your calling to set up that dinner with you and my former classmate can we do this at another time."
"Actually I was calling about a project that I'm casting but if you're busy….."
"I'm not busy."
"Good then can you head to my office so I can show you the script."
"I'm on my way."
Quinn raised her eyebrows as Rachel hung up her cell and began to pack up her things.
"So, I take it that it was Artie on the other end and you got an audition after all."
Rachel smiled.
"Maybe someone was telling me something after all when I got dressed this morning," she said with a smile as she smoothed her skirt.
"You do remember Sam works at the studio."
Rachel nodded.
"What will you say if you see him?"
A smile crossed her face as she told Quinn what she thought to herself earlier.
"I'll tell him the truth, that I've fallen hard and fast for him and that his fiancée is a lucky woman."
"Well…. Just break a leg ok Rachel."
Smiling at her friend she headed out of the shop and hailed a cab to take her to the studio where she knew her life was about to change she just wasn't aware yet just how much.

Sorry for the cliffy but I promise the next chapter is worth the wait
