"Shave it all off…" Puck said without hesitation to the barber. After leaving the diner, Puck, went straight to the nearest barber shop to get his mission accomplished.
The bald headed Spanish man looked at him through the mirror that was situated in front of him and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I want you to shave off my mohawk."
The barber shook his head and said, "Whatever you say…"
As he was getting his hair cut, Puck's mind wondered to the voluptuous woman he was doing this for. There was an air of mystery to the gruff exterior that was, Lauren Zizes. Puck didn't know why he was so attracted to her, he just was and from the bits and pieces that he had gathered about her life, he was even more determined to peel the layer, and the clothes, that she was hiding herself in.
"All done…" The barber said not ten minutes later.
Puck looked at his reflection and was actually surprised at how grown up he looked. He didn't look ugly or weird, he actually looked more refined. He got up from the chair, paid the barber and went to look for the chocolates that Lauren had requested.
He was back at the Lagoon Diner within forty minutes of leaving Lauren there, luckily for him she was still sitting in the same spot. Puck approached Lauren and sat down on the stool next to her. "How do I look?" He asked, glancing in Lauren's direction.
Lauren examined his head and said, "Not bad. Now, where are the chocolates that I asked for?"
He handed her the box and waited to see if she liked them.
She opened the lid, picked up a piece of chocolate, put it in her mouth and after chewing for a few seconds, she spat it back out into a napkin. "That was disgusting." She cringed and made a face.
"What? These cost me a hundred bucks, they can't be as nasty as you say they are…" When he tasted a piece he immediately regretted his decision. Puck spat out the chocolate and said, "Good god, what the hell did they sell me? It taste like cardboard, coffee and cheese all mixed into one."
Lauren chuckled at his comment. It was actually nice to see her smiling for once, she looked even more beautiful when she smiled. "Didn't I tell you that I wanted good chocolates? Where did you buy this crap anyway?"
"I went back to the hotel to get them… I feel so cheated right now. I promise I'll get you better chocolates when you agree to go out on a date with me." He said, hoping that she would still agree to go out with him.
"No can do. We had a deal, a haircut and chocolates. You've fulfilled your end by cutting your hair but the chocolates were dreadful… I'm afraid that you'll just have to wait for my autobiography…" She stood up, paid her tab and started to walk out the door.
Puck, never one to give up easily, followed her out of the diner. "You know, if you're trying to play hard to get, it's not working… I don't give up so easily so unless you want me to stalk you for the rest of the day, you had better say yes to the date."
She stopped in her tracks and said, "Why would you want to get to know me better anyway? Have you actually seen my size? If I wanted to I could crush you…"
Puck stepped up to her and took her hand in his, the action sent electricity shooting through his veins. "You're beautiful and strong, why would I not want to get to know a girl like you?"
It was Lauren's day off, and like any other afternoon she went down to the Lagoon Diner where she normally had her lunch. She was planning on going to the orphanage to volunteer after her meal but her plans were dampened when, Puck, the guy that she had unfortunately met at the club sauntered in to the diner. He tried to act like he came across the diner out of accident but she knew better. She was actually surprised when he asked her out on a date, stating that it was his last night on the island and that he wanted to get to know her better. She purposely said no and began to insult his hair knowing that nothing good could come out of dating him. He probably just wanted a roll in the hay with her and she was not going to let that happen. She suggested that he cut his hair knowing that he would never do it but he surprised her when he came back later sporting a crew cut and bringing back the chocolates that she requested.
Lauren had never met a man like Puck before, he was handsome, funny and determined. Why he liked her so much was anyone's guess. She tried to play hard to get but deep down she knew that she was attracted to him. There was something about his stubbornness that she liked, it somehow reminded her of herself. After the whole chocolate debacle, she paid for her meal and walked out of the diner, hoping that he would somehow get that she was not going to go out with him. She was wrong of course, Puck was relentless, he would not take no for an answer. She questioned him as to why he was so interested in her, she was not super model thin and she could obviously hurt him physically if she wanted to. When he told her that she was beautiful and strong, she was stunned. Aside from Santana and her ex-boyfriend, Mitch, no one has ever paid her that kind of compliment before. She stood in place staring at him for what seemed like forever.
When she could finally form words, she said, "Fine, I'll go out with you but I have to go to the orphanage for a few hours. You could follow me or you could wait until I'm done, your choice."
A bright smile spread on his face, enhancing his already gorgeous features. "I'll go with you. I only have a few hours left on this island and I want to make them count."
Lauren didn't know why but when he reminded her that he was leaving, her heart ached. Get it together, Lauren, he's just another guy."Whatever…" She said trying to sound indifferent.
The drive to the orphanage only took ten minutes, when they were there, Lauren, immediately went to the nursery to visit the little ones. When Sarah saw her, she immediately ran up to her. "Lauren, you came!"
She picked the five year old up and kissed her on the cheek. Sarah had always been her favorite, she'd lost both of her parents in a terrible house fire when she was four. She did not want to eat or speak when they first brought her into the orphanage but after some coaxing and a little tough love from Lauren, little Sarah came around.
"Hey Sarah, how have you been? It looks like you've grown a little but you're still short." Lauren teased the little girl before pinching Sarah's cheek.
"I'm not short. I'm petite…" Sarah sassed, she turned her head to look at Puck. "Lauren, who's that man? Is he your boyfriend?" Sarah giggled.
"That is Puck and he is not my boyfriend. You wanna know a secret?" She whispered to Sarah, when the girl nodded, Lauren said, "He used to wear a squirrel on his head…"
"No way... That is so cool…" Sarah said in wonderment. "Can I see your squirrel?" She asked innocently when she was facing Puck.
Lauren put Sarah down while trying to hold back her laughter.
Puck approached Sarah and kneeled down so that he was staring into the little girl's eyes. "My squirrel only comes out on special occasions and only if Lauren lets it out." Puck glanced up at her and winked.
She could not stop the smile that was forming on her lips so she shook her head and rolled her eyes trying to conceal her amusement. They ended up staying at the orphanage for two hours. Puck surprised her when he pulled an impromptu performance for the kids. He was actually a really good singer.
As they were walking out of the orphanage, Puck said, "You were really good with those kids back there…"
"Yeah, they're like family to me and the orphanage is like my second home." She said giving Puck a brief smile.
When they entered her car, Puck spoke again, "So would you like to have dinner with me? It's after 6 and you've got to eat…"
"Sure, but after the chocolates you bought, I'm choosing the place…"
Puck arched a brow and said, "You're not going to let that go, are you?"
"Nope…" She answered looking at the road.
They had dinner at a small burger joint on the other side of the island. She was surprised at how much fun she was actually having, after dinner they went for a walk by the beach.
They both strolled in silence for a while until Puck broke the silence. "So tell me more about yourself, Lauren?"
She knew that she shouldn't divulge too much information about her life but she couldn't help herself. Puck made her very comfortable and she felt like she could tell him everything about her life without him judging her. "You probably already know that I'm an orphan. I don't know much about my dad, all I know is that he had died on the job before I was born. My mom died of breast cancer when I was 10 years old and after that I was left in an orphanage in Chicago until I turned 18." Puck was holding her hand while she spoke and somehow she felt comforted by his touch.
"I'm sorry to hear about that, Lauren. Everyone deserves to have family in their lives…" He said sympathetically.
"Don't be, I'm not sorry. I've met a few really great people who are not related to me by blood and I consider them family." She returned with a shy smile. "Now it's your turn, tell me about yourself."
"I'm afraid you're going to think that I'm a spoiled brat if I tell you about my life, so how about we skip me and talk about you." Puck said trying to change the subject.
"No, I answered your question so now it's your turn to answer mine."
"Fine…" He huffed and continued, "I've had a great life, my mom and dad are good people and they raised me well. If you can't already tell, my parents are millionaires but they've always had a great work ethic and they passed that down to me and my siblings so whatever I own, I worked for…"
"I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I don't think you're a brat at all. It's obvious that your parents did right by you. Although, why they let you wear a rodent on your head is anybody's guess…" She chuckled, trying relax the mood once again.
Puck joined in her laughter, they chatted for another hour before she drove home with Puck in tow; he had insisted on taking her home.
When she was at her apartment door, she said, "Well this is me… I'm really surprised at how much fun I've had today. Thank you, Puck."
"I've had a great time too, Lauren… Can I see you again?" He asked hopeful.
Lauren was excited at the first but the excitement quickly turned to sadness when she realized that Puck was leaving the next day. She tried not to let her disappointment show, when she said, "Did you forget that you're leaving tomorrow?"
Puck's smile turned into a frown. "Oh yeah… That's a shame…" He said sadly.
Lauren hated seeing the sadness on his face so she closed the gap between them and grazed her lips with his. It was a brief kiss but it was enough to send her body into a frenzy. She pulled away and said, "Goodnight, Puck, I've had a great time today. Have a great time on the cruise…" With that she opened her door and closed it behind her. She knew that she shouldn't but in some ways she knew that she would miss the rodent wearing, Puck.
"Sammy, wake up. You're snoring…" Sam heard Mercedes say. He opened his eyes and was greeted by a giggling Mercedes.
"What?" He asked yawning.
She bit her bottom lip and said, "You are so cute when you're sleeping even when you're snoring like a chainsaw…"
"I do not snore…" He returned incredulously.
"You do too but I didn't wake you because of your snoring. I'm actually kind of hungry and wanted to go back to Hotel de Magestica before we head back to the ship again."
"It's too early… I want to sleep a little more, now come here…" He pulled Mercedes onto his chest and kissed her head.
"It's almost 10 o'clock, Sam… Did you want to get left behind?" Mercedes said looking up at him. "If you get up, I'll have sex with you in the shower…"
He got up quickly upon hearing her comment; he grabbed her hand and said, "Let's shower…"
Mercedes chuckled and said, "Oh my god, my boyfriend's a horndog."
Sam didn't say a thing until they were both in the shower with water pouring down on them from the showerhead. "You know you love your horndog of a boyfriend, now come here and give me a kiss…"
Mercedes giggled and latched her lips with his. He kissed her deeply while his hands caressed her body; one teasing her breast and the other playing with her pussy. Sam pumped his fingers in and out of her slick heat as he continued to kiss Mercedes.
"Fuck me, Sammy…" Mercedes said, her mouth against his ear.
Sam pushed her against the wall and aligned his cock onto her pussy. He entered her sensitive folds slowly not wanting to hurt her after the sex marathon they had the previous night. He could feel her shaking as he moved within her. "Are you ready to cum, baby?" Sam asked.
"Yes! Fuck me harder, Sam… I need it!" She growled. Her eyes were shut and her nostrils flared. She was so beautiful when she was in the throes of passion.
Sam picked up his pace pumping into her pussy faster and harder. "Shit… You're tight..." He hissed. Mercedes kissed him deeply as her body quaked; her orgasm hitting her hard and fast. He came with her, shooting his cum inside her tight pussy. Sam's legs gave way and he slipped on the bathtub with a thud. Luckily for him the only one who fell was him.
"You ok, baby?" Mercedes asked concern etching her beautiful face.
"Yeah… You felt so good, Mercy. All my blood went to my cock so my legs buckled after I came." He laughed. "Come sit here with me, baby…" He reached up for her and helped her to sit on his lap.
They sat in the tub holding each other, exchanging words of love for a few minutes before showering. After getting dressed they walked over to Hotel de Magestica. Kurt Hummel was standing by the front desk when they entered the hotel.
"I want to say hi to Kurt, Sammy…" Mercedes said dragging him towards Kurt.
"Good morning, love birds. Did you both have a great time last night?" Kurt asked beaming at the both of them.
"Yes. It was great. I just wanted to thank you for helping Sam last night." Mercedes said shyly, still holding on to his hand.
"You didn't have to thank me… It was my pleasure to help you guys." Kurt said sincerely.
Sam smiled at both Kurt and Mercedes. "We'd like to thank you anyway. The ship is leaving today and Mercy and I wanted to say goodbye to you. I hope that we'll get the chance to come back to this beautiful island one day."
"I'm sad that you guys are leaving but yes, please do come back to visit. Maybe we can hangout the next time you both are in town."
"Yes, we definitely have to do that… Well this is it, thank you again Kurt, we really do appreciate everything that you've done for us." Mercedes stated as she hugged Kurt.
They said their goodbyes and went to have breakfast at the café. They were leaving the hotel when they spotted Puck carrying all his belongings with him. "Dude, where are you going with your things?" Sam asked.
"I'm staying here on the island. I've talked to my dad and he's decided to buy the hotel. I'll be managing it for him." Puck said happily.
"What? But why the sudden decision to stay?" Mercedes questioned. She was just as puzzled as he was.
"You guys are in love right?" When they both nodded he continued. "I am too and like you two, I don't have the heart to leave the girl I love."
"So you're in love with Lauren? Wow, that was fast but congrats dude… I wish you both all the happiness in the world." Mercedes stated hugging Puck.
"Thank you, Mercedes. Please take good care of Sam here…" Puck returned.
"You know I will, Puck…" Mercedes smiled and pulled away from the hug.
"I'm going to miss you, Puck." Sam said stepping in and hugging his best friend.
Puck patted his back and said, "I'll miss you too dude but we both know that you won't really have time to miss me with Mercedes by your side."
Sam drew away from the embrace and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. "Thank god, I have Mercy or I'll be feeling lost without my wing man by my side."
"You guys better get going, I think the ship is pulling out in an hour. Take care of each other and if you have the time come visit me here on the island…" He waved at them and walked over to the check in counter.
"I can't believe that Puck is leaving everything behind just to be with Lauren…" Mercedes said as the strolled back towards the ship.
"He's in love. I would do the same for you…"
"I guess we're not the only ones who are crazy in love. It's funny what love can do to people." She chuckled pulling him in for a mind blowing kiss.
So what did you think? Did you love it or hate it? Did you like the Pizes interaction? What did you think about Puck's decision to stay and buy the hotel? Don't worry the Pizes sexy times will be coming up, just because they're not with the cruise it doesn't mean I can't write them into the story right! Sorry if you're a little disappointed with the lack of Samcedes scenes. I hope the smut made up for it just a little.
We will be heading to Bahamas in the next chapter. Expect some Tike and Motson (my nickname for Sugar and Finn) and not forgetting our loveable Samcedes.
Well that's all for tonight, the next chapter will be up by Friday (If I get enough reviews). Just kidding or am I? Lol. Thanks for reading….
