Now we're getting somewhere :D Here's the next chapter, and Kurt gets to finally host his party and we finally get to meet the Famous Noah Puckerman ;). I'm glad you all seem to be enjoying this, I promise you the Raine isn't over yet.

Oh yeah, just a shameless plug really, as well as this story, I'm also writing another story Puckleberry centred, but with a Raine friendship. It's called International Directions and I'd really appreciate it if you was to read that as well.

Enjoy x

The drinks had been brought, the music was set, and now Blaine, Rachel and Kurt were waiting anxiously for their guests to arrive. The door knocked, and Rachel jumped to her feet desperate to leave the room, but Kurt was quicker and he ran to the door before her.

"Mercedes, hey!" Rachel heard him say happily, as Blaine leant across to talk to her.

"Rachel, this is serious, we need to talk,"

"No we don't," she said, shaking her head defiantly, putting on her best stage smile as Kurt walked back into the lounge with Mercedes and Sam following closely behind him.

"You two remember Mercedes right?" Kurt smiled, walking into the kitchen with the drinks that Mercedes and Sam had bought with them. Rachel smiled and hugged Mercedes as Blaine stood up to shake Sam's hand.

For a while, the four of them sat talking as they waited for the rest of the guests to arrive, Rachel dying inside as Kurt sat talking, with his hand clasped securely around Blaine's, yet the whole time Blaine was staring at her. There was another knock at the door and Rachel sprung to her feet, not stopping to give anyone else a chance, as she rushed to the door.

"Oh thank god!" she whispered when she saw Tina smiling on the other side. Tina laughed as she saw the look of relief on her friend's face.

"We're not early are we?" she asked, Rachel shook her head and pulled her friend into the house,

"So where's Mike?" Rachel asked as the Tina hung her jacket in the hallway.

"He's rehearsals are running late, he's coming straight after though, he's bring Noah with him," Rachel nodded and her lip when she heard laughter coming from the lounge. She had wanted to stay as far away from them as possible, but Tina wouldn't hear of it, walking into the lounge with Rachel forced to follow after her.

Luckily, Rachel was kept pretty busy throughout the evening, as there seemed to be a permanent knocking on the door, it seemed to be working for her plan to avoid Blaine, fortunately for her.

"Rachel!" Tina shouted, as Rachel pushed past a crowd of people, people that she'd never seen before. Rachel smiled at her friend, noticing that Mike had arrived with who she assumed was Noah in tow. "Rachel, this is Noah Puckerman, Noah, this is Rachel,"

Noah smiled and held out his hand, "I prefer Puck," he smiled, Rachel smiled at him, seemingly impressed by her friend's choice.

"I've actually always liked the name Noah," she admitted, and Noah smiled at her. Rachel felt the connection straight away; the first time she'd felt a proper connection with a guy. She didn't want to even consider Blaine, what they'd had was a complete mistake, and would never, ever, happen again. Rachel glanced across at Tina who gave her a smug smile. Rachel rolled her eyes and led Noah into the kitchen to get him a drink. As the two of them walked across the lounge, a slow song started playing and Rachel spotted Kurt dragging Blaine into the middle of the floor, Blaine spotted her instantly, and Rachel turned away, linking arms with Noah and speeding off into the kitchen.

Blaine sighed as he watched the people in the lounge soaking up the party atmosphere; Kurt had spent the majority of the evening talking with Mercedes about the new summer line that he was currently working on, whilst she filled him on what she was currently on. Then he spotted Rachel walk across the room, he knew he had to talk to her, make her acknowledges that something had really happened towards them, so he darted towards her, but when he had finally managed to force his way through the crowd she was standing next to Tina in deep conversation with who he assumed was Noah. He frowned and turned his back on her, pushing his way through the crowd again, that was when he spotted Kurt walking towards him.

"Hey, are you okay?" Kurt asked him, Blaine smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He lied, Kurt nodded and sipped at his drink, as the music changed to a much slower song, "Oh my god, I love this song, come dance with me!"

Blaine didn't have a chance to respond, Kurt was already dragging him into the centre of the room. Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine and cuddled against him, and the two of them began slowly swaying in time with the music, that was when Blaine noticed Rachel again, linked arms with Noah and heading towards the kitchen. She paused momentarily and locked eyes with him, before shaking her head and leading Noah towards the kitchen. Blaine sighed and leant his head against Kurt's and attempted to block out the world around him, he inhaled deeply and smelt the familiar smell that was Kurt, he sighed quietly and Kurt lifted his head to meet his eye before leaning in and kissing him. In that moment he forgot all about Rachel and wished that he and Kurt could be like this forever, but the song finished and they were brought back to reality surrounded by the rowdy group of drunken people in their lounge. Kurt clasped Blaine's hand and the two of them walked in the direction of the kitchen, where Blaine spotted Rachel and Noah talking intimately, Rachel noticed him almost immediately and rearranged herself so Noah blocked her view of him completely. He sighed and picked up a bottle of beer from the counter and took a large drink from it.

It wasn't long before the kitchen became too crowded and a fight managed to break out between 3 guys that Blaine didn't recognise, and by the look on Kurt's face, he didn't either. Blaine attempted to break the fight, but there were simply too many of them, and Kurt wasn't really much help, there was only so much shouting he could do. Rachel noticed the commotion and peered around Noah to get a better look. She let out a shocked gasp when she noticed Blaine and Kurt in the middle of the brawl, Noah picked on up on her expression and smiled at her.

"You want me to help your friends?" he asked, sincerity in his voice, she nodded and smiled gratefully at him.

"Thank you Noah," He gave her grin before walking into the middle of the kitchen and pulling the guys apart,

"Okay, party's over guys," he announced, leading them towards the door, Blaine glared at him as he found himself pushed to the side of the commotion.

"I could've handled it," he mumbled, sending glares in Noah's direction, luckily no one picked up on this, as Kurt was following Noah towards the front door, making sure that nothing was broken on the way out. He let out a frustrated sigh and picked his drink up from the counter, as he glanced around the room he noticed Rachel stood awkwardly, now alone, as soon as she caught his eye she made a run for it, but this time Blaine wasn't letting her get away. He followed her into the lounge, and rolled his eyes as she tried to lose him in the crowd, but he was ready for her.

Rachel groaned as she rushed through the lounge, she noticed Tina and Mike talking happily in the corner of the room, and hurried away from them, she wanted to be on her own, Noah had been her comfort blanket for the evening, whilst he was around no one would disturb her, especially Blaine. But now he had gone and Blaine was pursuing her, she let out a sigh of relief as she managed to get outside of the lounge and into the quiet hallway, she turned around and rested her head against the wall, hoping that she'd managed to lose Blaine and that now he was back to talking to some friends or even better Kurt. She gasped loudly when she felt herself being dragged by the hand down the hallway, when she turned around she realised that it was Blaine, she opened her mouth to say something but he beat her to it.

"Just hear me out okay?" he hissed, she closed her mouth and nodded, as he pulled her towards her bedroom. He opened the door and Rachel walked inside, Blaine quickly following behind her and closing the door. He let out a relieved yet anxious sigh, realising that this was the first time that they'd been alone since that night. He turned around to see Rachel sat on the edge of her bed, staring at him anxiously.

"You can't keep avoiding me, you know," He rubbed the back of his neck, not entirely sure what to say to her. Rachel sighed quietly, watching his struggle to form a sentence, she shifted across the bed and Blaine cautiously sat next to her.

"I'm not avoiding you," Rachel said quietly, unable to meet his gaze. Rachel knew that they'd have to have this conversation eventually, but she'd tried to hard to push all of the memories out of her mind, but now that she was sitting this close to Blaine again, they all came rushing back.

"I guess you know what I want to talk about," he said quietly, Rachel nodded

"I just want to forget about it," she confided, positive that she saw a flicker of disappointment on Blaine's face, but didn't mention it. She'd assumed that he'd bought her here to tell her the same thing that she'd told him, now she wasn't so sure. "We need to forget it, for Kurt's sake! It would kill him if he ever found out," she cried, leaving Blaine feeling incredibly awkward, as he patted her back trying to comfort her. As soon as Rachel felt the touch of Blaine's skin against her back, all those feelings of that night came rushing back, she remembered the way that he'd kissed her, he'd been so forceful yet passionate at the same time – that was when she realised that it wasn't the alcohol that had made her feel like that. As if Blaine was reading her mind, he leant forward and smiled at her.

"It was a pretty amazing night though, wasn't it?" he grinned, Rachel felt herself smiling and agreeing with him, before she came to her senses and jumped to her feet, pacing across the floor.

"Why are we even discussing this?" she hissed, "You're in love with Kurt!"

Blaine sighed and lay back on her bed, letting out a frustrated cry, she'd asked him the same question that he'd debating ever since that night. He was gay, he'd always been so sure of his sexuality, sure he'd made out with a few girls in high school, but it was never anything serious, and usually due to alcohol consumption, but since Saturday night, he hadn't been able to get Rachel out of his mind.

"Don't you think I know that?" he asked, lifting his head, Rachel paused and turned to face him, "If I wasn't confused before, then I am now, I love Kurt, I really do, but no matter how hard I try I can't forget what happened that night, and if I'm honest, I'm not sure if I really want to,"

Rachel sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed again, trying to keep a little distance between them, but it was difficult on a single bed.

"Blaine, I don't know what to say…" Rachel started before she felt Blaine's lips capture hers, he'd half expected her to pull away immediately, but as he felt her ease into the kiss, he was pretty sure that she was enjoying it just as much as he was. Rachel hated the fact that she wanted to kiss him, she kept thinking about what they were doing to Kurt, but she couldn't help it, it felt so amazing being with him. It was as if she was addicted to him, she'd had one taste and that was it, she was hooked.

Rachel was the one to eventually break the kiss; she pulled away and stared at him. Blaine didn't know what to say, he looked at his hand and then up at her face again.

"I'd better get back to the party, Noah will be wondering where I am," she said quietly, standing up and straightening out her dress. Blaine followed her towards the door and kissed her again, closing the gap between them and they were soon pressed against the door locked in a passionate kiss. Rachel pulled away and sighed quietly, before opening the door and walking down the hallway and back into the lounge, not stopping to give Blaine a second glance. She found Noah, talking to Tina and Mike in the far corner of the room, she felt a pang of guilt as she realised what she'd done, Noah had been so nice to her, and while he was trying to break up the fight in her home, she was off making out with her friends boyfriend. She put on her best smile and walked over to join the group.

"Hey, where did you go?" Noah smiled, when she joined the group; Rachel shrugged and smiled at him.

"I was just checking that no one had was using my room as a hotel room," she lied, "Did you manage to get rid of those Neanderthal's?" Noah laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, we left them fighting outside. Your friend, Kurt?" Rachel nodded, "He can really shout," Rachel laughed, and suddenly everything was back to normal.

Blaine groaned loudly as Rachel shut the door behind her, he threw himself onto the bed, burying himself into her pillows. He knew what he was doing was wrong, he didn't even know why he was doing it, he was perfectly happy with Kurt. He'd always been happy with Kurt, but he'd never felt as alive as he did when he was with Rachel. There was just something different about her, something special. After a while, he got up and rearranged her pillows, before checking his appearance in the mirror, his hair was out of place, he usually kept himself pretty well groomed, but now it was falling out place, his curls coming through. He knew he should've been bothered, but he didn't have the energy to care anymore. Instead, he sighed quietly and snuck out of Rachel's bedroom, and back into the lounge.

"There you are, I've been searching everywhere for you!" Blaine was caught off guard when his boyfriend pounced on him, he smiled and Kurt rested his head onto his shoulder.

"Are you okay Blaine, you seem a little out of it," Kurt asked, full of concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine, it's just a little crowded in here," Blaine lied, which Kurt seemed to buy, obviously his mind on other things.

"I've seen Rachel's boy toy, he's pretty hot," Kurt laughed, "Come on, let's go and introduce ourselves," Before he had a chance to protest, Kurt was dragging him across the room. Rachel lifted her head and her eyes left Noah's and met Blaine's for a brief moment, before she smiled and turned away.

"Hey Rachel, aren't you going to introduce us properly," Kurt grinned, Rachel stared at him and then to Blaine, before clearing her throat.

"Oh…oh yes of course," she stuttered, "Noah, this is my best friend Kurt, and his boyfriend Blaine," there was that pang of guilt again, but she tried to ignore it and carry on as normal, "And this is Noah Puckerman," She watched as Noah shook there hands, and Rachel couldn't believe it as Blaine stood there just staring at her. Now things were becoming more awkward than ever for her.

Eventually people started to leave, this was mainly due to the lack of alcohol left. Noah left with Mike and Tina with the promise of calling Rachel and arranging to meet up with her again in the week, she'd nodded and felt even more conflicted. Could she really embark on a new relationship with all of this going on with Blaine, whatever it was that was going on with Blaine? The three of them headed to bed, deciding to leave the cleaning up until later that day, after all, it was already Thursday morning. Kurt fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, Blaine on the other hand lay awake, tossing and turning as thought about both Kurt and Rachel, he loved Kurt with all of his heart – he'd never been so sure of anything in his life, but he lusted after Rachel and he didn't understand why. He had Kurt, and Kurt was his whole world, but Rachel was something completely different and he kind of liked it.
