Chapter 10: "Duets"
Rachel's POV
All the gleeks had taken their place. It was Thursday; two days after Mr Shue gave them the assignment. In that time Tina and Mike had performed as well as Santana and Finn, and, Brittany and Artie. Only Sam and Quinn and Rachel and Puck were remaining.
She sat on her chair in the front row seething at Sam and Quinn but trying to be subtle about it. Noah and she were next. She looked at Sam playing his guitar to the tune of "Lucky" and making gooey eyes and Quinn and it intensified her frown. She didn't like the two of them together. She knew she had no claim over Sam. She has been telling herself that every day.
The only reason he was even spending time with her was because she was carrying his child. If that weren't the case she was pretty sure that he would be with Quinn and not given a damn about her. Quinn is pretty and smart. Everybody picks Quinn. She was even one of the contestants. Before she knew it everyone was clapping for their performance and Noah had already woken up with his guitar in his hand.
She stood, flattened her skirt over and made her way to the centre of the floor, completely ignoring Sam eyes when he passed her. They had chosen country. Noah began strumming his guitar to the tune that became familiar to them these past couple of days. The song selection was actually his idea. It shocked Rachel at first.
Well there's something 'bout a woman with my t-shirt on
Hair in her eyes, no make-up on
Standing there smiling with my coffee cup
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman that's easy to love
The music picked up and Rachel and Noah became one with the song.
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman that's a clear blue sky
Ain't found nothing better that'll get you high
You're the colours of the sun at the end of the day
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman that makes you feel that way
She's like fire on a mountain
Like some kind of heaven that's pourin' down on me
She's a child
She's a lady
She's got everything I could ever need
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman and me
Rachel was enjoying herself so much that she was oblivious to the jealous looks going her way from Sam. Maybe if she saw it, it would have made her see just how much Sam liked her and maybe if he saw her during his performance he would have seen just how much she liked him.
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman when she gets fixed up
Slips a red dress on and her eyes light up
I love to watch her walk from across the room
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman and the way she moves me
She moves me
Oh, she moves me
She's like fire on a mountain
Like some kind of heaven that's pourin' down on me
She's a child
She's a lady
She's got everything I could ever need
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman and me
Yeah there's something 'bout a woman that makes me still
There's something 'bout a woman that always will
Sam's POV
In the end it was Rachel and Puck who won. Sam was boiling the entire drive home while Rachel was yapping on and on about it. Since the competition was over daily routines were back in order with Sam driving Rachel home. Her win brought a smile to her face. It reinforced her. Quinn may be pretty and liked among all the boys but if there was one thing Rachel topped her with, it was singing. Lately her home life was so full of tension her daddy was still not talking to her, at least he was talking to her but with the littlest words possible; in Rachel's books little words were worse than no words. It was like he didn't care anymore.
The only reason Rachel felt the need to rub the win in Sam's face was because of the way he was acting with Quinn. When Sam slammed his book onto the coffee table a little while later in frustration Rachel finally asked him what was wrong. "What's wrong? You want to know what's wrong. What is wrong is you making kissy faces at Puck. You supposed to hate him after everything he's done to you but know you go and start singing love songs with him," it was like a river once he started he could stop but Rachel was a pregnant girl which meant she had no control over her raging hormones, "I was not doing anything of that sort. It was you making gooey eyes at Quinn. If anybody's to blame it's you."
"I am to blame, for what? This entire week I have walked you to class, eaten lunch with you, drove you home. I even joined your stupid glee club and even given up my friends for you and you go and do this," he was angry and jealous now and was saying anything that he thought would hurt her, like she hurt him by acting that way with Puck.
She stopped what she was going to say and blinked her eyes at a rapid pace to stop the tears from flowing, "so what are you saying, you were performing an act of kindness by doing all those respectable performances for me. I never asked you to do any of that." She was crying now and Sam felt like an ass, "I distinctly recall sitting in the library and giving you a choice in the matter. I never forced you to be here Sam. You are standing here of your own accord. I suggest you know the way out?"
He felt stupid for saying all those things to her. She was crying and hiccupping and he just wanted to make it stop. He subconsciously nodded his head in agreement of her question when she answered, "Good now leave."
He opened his mouth to apologise for what he said but she was too fast, "Get out Sam," she cried and proceeded to walk to the front door, unlock it and waited for him to leave. He knew it was of no use saying anything now so he just went along. When he was outside she shut the door on his face. Miserable and guilt-ridden he prepared himself for the long walk home. He can't believe he said all that stuff. He didn't know what prompted him to say it in the first place. He was just angry about the way Puck acting around her. He knew Puck was just being friendly like he asked but Sam felt he was being too friendly. Puck was the kind of guy to fuck around with any girl and he didn't want Rachel being one of Puck's conquests. He liked Rachel and he didn't want to hurt her, that was the last thing he ever wanted to do, but here he was, standing on her porch at 17:00 after hurting her in the most worst and terrible manner.
While he was berating himself, he was oblivious to the fact that Rachel was sitting on the floor, her back against the door and crying harder than she had ever cried before and wondering why she wasn't good enough for anybody.
