I'm sorry, I'm terrible. I was supposed to post this before Christmas, but life got in the way. My schedule is crazy and my brother and his wife just had twins, so they need help all the time. So, I'm having very little time to write. But I tried to write a bigger chapter to make it up to you! Thank you all for reading and reviewing, and I hope you like it.

Quinn nodded at what Mercedes was saying, but didn't really hear a word. Her best friend noticed the hard expression on her face and followed her line of vision, only to land on her boyfriend's best friend, having a heavy make out session with a blond girl, pressing her against the wall for everyone to see.

"I see you found something more entertaining than this conversation." Mercedes said, in a teasing tone.

"Huh?"

"Puck seems to be more deserving of your attention than the concert I went to."

"I'm sorry, Cedes, is just that... he's such a pig!"

"I don't know why he bothers you so much. Puck's always been like this."

Quinn scoffed. "C'mom, Cedes. This is our Christmas party. Everyone will go home for Christmas, so this is the only time we have to celebrate and enjoy each other's company, and he's just ignoring everybody over some girl that wasn't even supposed to be here. Do you know her? See, he's disgusting."

"I don't know her, I think she's just a random girl he decided to bring. But Q, it's no big deal. We will see each other again in a couple of weeks, it's fine. Besides, Puck doesn't really care about Christmas. He's Jewish, right?"

"It doesn't matter! This was supposed to be about cherishing friends and loved ones. I'm just glad Finn's nothing like him!"

"Oooohhh, speaking of Finn... will you take him home to introduce to your folks?"

After going on a few dates, Finn and Quinn decided to make it official and were a couple now. They've been together for about a month, and were really happy. He was caring, sweet and, fortunately, very different from Puck, like she mentioned to Mercedes. But still, her boyfriend's roommate managed to get in the way of her relationship. At first, Quinn thought that Puck would be really happy about it, since he would have the apartment free more often to bring all his one night stands. At first, that's exactly what happened, since Quinn saw different women getting in and out of Puck's and Finn's apartment but, after a week or so, Puck seemed to get bored with it. That would've been ok, wasn't for the new hobby he's got. Now, Puck would call Finn every time he was with Quinn asking him to go play stupid videogames, to have a beer or go paintballing. Being the caring boyfriend he was, Finn always said he couldn't, that he was spending time with his girlfriend. Until the day before, when Puck called about this new Xbox game he bought that Quinn really didn't bother to remember the name. Yes, Finn ditched her for the stupid game. Ok, he said he would be gone for an hour tops, just to see what the game was about, leaving her on her couch, with an ice cream bowl and P.S. I Love You on the tv. She gets that he can't abandon his friends just because he's in a relationship, but it's been a month! They're still supposed to be on their honeymoon stage, right?

And that's why almost everything Puck does this days are getting on Quinn's nerves. He does idiotic things on regular basis, but he can't sabotage her relationship. And that explains why she's so bothered by him making out with a random girl during the party, but she rather not mention it to Mercedes. She wouldn't understand, anyways!

"No, I'm not. It's too soon, I haven't even told my parents about him. Besides, I think he'll have to work, so he wouldn't be able to go."

"Hmmm, you're right. I'm just glad now we'll finally be able to go to double dates." Mercedes said, smiling at Quinn. She nodded and smiled back.

She looked around the room and spotted none other than Santana Lopez, talking to the manager of Sam and Puck's restaurant, that Dani girl. 'Wow, Puck really is an idiot. The guy invites one of the girls he's sleeping with and hooks up with somebody else in front of her!' Each passing day, Quick despised him even more.

Puck excuse himself to the girl whose name he's already forgotten and headed to the bathroom. He really needed to take a leak, but he also wanted a break. Don't get him wrong, he was having a really good time with 'what's her name', and he would definitely get lucky tonight, but it was getting old. Truth was, maybe he was getting old, or just tired of the routine of drinking and partying and hooking up with girls. He was a businessman and had a restaurant to run, he couldn't do that on week nights anymore! Not that he's ditching that blond tonight, specially because it was Saturday.

But, more than that, Puck missed just... connecting with someone. Spending lazy afternoons doing fun stuff, having real conversations... No, he wasn't talking about girls and relationships! Hell no! He just really missed his friends. He loves Sam like a brother, there's no shame in admitting that. But he understands that the guy can't hang out with him now that he's living with Mercedes, he's gotta give the girl some attention and love, after all, he plans on marrying her someday, as he confided to Puck. Then there's Artie, who is married to his high school sweet heart and has a very demanding job, leaving no time to Puck other than the occasional calls. The waiters of the restaurant are nice guys, but they seem uncomfortable to hang out with their boss. And then, there's Finn. When he was starting to warm up to the guy, he starts dating the girl next door!

Of course, there's nothing wrong with Quinn. He would know, judging by that toned dancer legs he got to see when he borrowed Artie's spider, or the hot kisses they shared before, or her smell or... wait, he's getting side tracked here! He's not supposed to know or think those things about his roommate's girlfriend! Eh, they're not really that close. But, anyways, Finn's been a decent company since he moved in, and Puck thought they could be really good friends, especially considering that Finn worked as a bartender and could get him free drinks. But then the girl next door had to get between them. But he wouldn't have any of it! He would fight for his man! Well, you know what he meant. He felt lonely sometimes too, and no random women could fix it.

A knock on the door startled him.

"Hey, you gonna take long? I really need to go" Said a voice he didn't really recognized coming from the other side of the door.

"No, dude, I'm done." Puck left the bathroom and headed back to the living room, where the blonde was waiting for him.

The clock sitting on his bedside table reads 3:30 a.m. He officially couldn't sleep. Puck tried taking a shower, drinking warm milk and even tried meditation, but that really isn't for him. So, now, he decided that maybe a jog would help.

He didn't usually had insomnia, especially after drinking alcohol, but when he did, working his body to exhaustion usually helped.

He opened his apartment's door as carefully as he could, not to disturb his neighbors (yes, he was a very good neighbor) and stepped outside the hall, closing the door behind him as quietly as he could. That's when a noise coming next door startled him.

He turned his head to see what was going on and there stood Quinn, leaving her apartment at the same time.

She noticed him right away and had the urge to roll her eyes, but controlled herself. He was the last person she wanted to see, but Quinn was tired and didn't have the energy to start an argument right now. So, she decided to try to be nice.

"Couldn't sleep?"

"Yeah... you?"

"Something like that."

There. Now they didn't need any more dialogue and could wait peacefully for the elevator. But Puck had other plans.

"So, did you leave Finn sleeping in there? Where're you going?"

She had to take deep breaths not to scream at him. It was none of his business, but she felt the need to clear things up about Finn.

"No, he doesn't sleep over. He's working right now. How about you, are you sneaking out of your own apartment to ditch that blond from the party?"

"Nah, she's long gone! No sleepovers, you got to have those rules to avoid certain unpleasant conversations and situations."

The blonde scoffed, but chose not to say anything. Once again, she didn't have the energy to argue. But apparently, Puck had a problem with the silence.

"You didn't answer my question. Where are you going?"

"None of your business." Ok, she couldn't hold it any longer.

Puck smirked. "Well, I'm just trying to be a nice guy. New York is not safe for anyone at this time, specially for a girl like you."

Now Quinn was livid. "A girl like me? What do you mean a girl like me?" It was useless! Every time the two of them were alone, they would argue and fight. Well, except from last time, when he kissed her, but she still didn't know how to deal with that and decided to pretend it never happened. But it did.

"I mean, gorgeous. There's all kinds of perverts wandering around the city..." It's like Puck turns a switch on his head to 'flirt mode' every time he's talking to a hot girl, doesn't really matter who she is. It's like he can't control himself, regardless if she's his best friend's sister or his roommate's girlfriend. Or both.

See, Quinn doesn't really know how to take a compliment. No, scratch that, she doesn't know how to take a compliment from Puck. She didn't really know how to behave around him. She hated him 99% of the time, and even his compliments sometimes sounded more like an insult. But the problem was that 1% of time, when he could be sweet... Not that was the case right now!

At this point, they've already left the building and Quinn turned left. Puck followed her.

"Says the guy hitting on a girl and following her at 4 a.m." Take that, Puckerman! Don't try to be cute right now.

Puck laughed before responding. "You know I'm not a pervert."

She smiled, teasing him. "Do I? I'm not sure about that."

"I'm not. And I'm not following you, I'm going with you, to make sure you're safe, you know?"

"You really don't have to do that. I'm a grown woman, I can take care of myself."

"Ok, little Fabray. Maybe, I just enjoy your company."

Noooo! Stop being cute, stop being cute! Just say something disgusting so I can hate you again!

"Well, I'd hate to make you change your plans. What were you going to do anyways?"

"I was gonna go jogging, they say physical exercises helps to fall asleep. But that's funny, considering I just had lots of sex a couple of hour before. See, I'd probably just waste my time." He said, smirking.

And there's the Puck she's used to. Thank God, she can easily go back to hating him.

Puck followed behind her as she entered a convenience store and headed to the aisle where they kept the ice creams. He watched as she grabbed a carton of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and her whole face lit up.

"Ah, I've been craving this!"

Panic was written all over Puck's face.

"What? Are you knocked up?"

She just glared at him.

"Finn's gonna be a father? "

"No, you idiot! I just really wanted this particular flavor of ice cream." Quinn said before going to the cash register to pay for the item.

He was so relieved! A baby would leave Finn no time to spend with him. Man, he really needed new friends, he was panicking over the amount o time he spent with his roommate! That's definitely not him.

Puck grabbed a beer for himself and joined Quinn, who was ready to leave. He paid for the beer and they were both on their way back.

She was enjoying the silence and the feeling of the wind against her skin. But of course, Puck wasn't very good at handling it.

"So, you're sure you're not pregnant?"

Once again, she glared at him.

"No, Puckerman."

"How can you be so sure? Does Finn shoot blanks?"

Upon the confused look on her face, he clarified.

"You know, is he sterile?"

She scoffed.

"Do you have to be so crass? Is none of your business."

"Hmmm, that's a yes, then! Did you want to have kids?"

"Shut up! He's not, ok?"

"So you could be pregnant!"

"We're not at that point of the relationship yet, ok?"

Puck smirked, as he accomplished what he wanted. To annoy Quinn. And he was glad to know that the couple hadn't had sex yet. He could somehow use this information for his advantage, at some point.

"Now, would you please, keep your mouth shut?"

He nodded, agreeing to it.

Neither of them spoke again until they reached their floor. When Quinn was about to get inside her apartment, he called her. She looked at him, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"You're going home tomorrow, right? Have a safe trip, and tell your parents I said hi"

She nodded. "Uh, thanks. Will do."

Quinn felt relieved when she closed the door behind her. Being near Puck seemed to unsettle her, she's always restless, like she doesn't know what to say, how to behave. Fortunately, she was leaving tomorrow and would get rid of him. At least for a couple of weeks!
