Hello everyone! I am so happy with how well this story is doing. I was not expecting to have over 100 followers at only ten chapters so it makes me very proud of myself. I am working on Too Little Too Late and Secrets of My Heart so I should have them updated soon enough. Anyway, onto the story. Enjoy!

Chapter 11

Rachel watched as Marley and Jake worked on their project together. It's not like she was trying to eavesdrop on them, she was just trying to see if Marley is making an effort to be friends with him. She was, thankfully. All Rachel wanted was for Marley to be happy and Jake seems to be the only person accomplishing that. She had to find a way to get those two together so Marley can have more motivation to get better.

While she was watching, there was a knock at the door so she went to open it and found Puck standing on the other side of the door. She smiled. "Well this is a surprise."

He leaned in and kissed her before walking inside. "I was in the neighborhood and decided to drop by."

"Noah, you don't live anywhere near here. How could you possibly be in the neighborhood?"

"Alright you caught me. I heard that Jake was here and I wanted to come and check how everything was going. Making sure he didn't put the moves on your sister too fast. He may be my brother but he'll get pulled away fast."

Rachel giggled. "Well thank you but he is actually being the perfect gentleman. He is the only thing that gets Marley to smile these days."

"Have you thought more about putting her in therapy?" Puck asked as they stood in the kitchen so Jake and Marley wouldn't hear their conversation.

"Yeah but I don't think I can do it. I'm scared that if I force her to go, she'll just completely shut me out. It's already bad enough that she barely talks to me now. I think she feels like I remind her too much of our dads so it's easier to talk to other people. That's why I'm glad Jake is around."

"But Jake tells me that she refuses to go out with him. Which is weird, considering she obviously has feelings for the guy."

Rachel sighed. "She won't admit it to him but yes she does. She really likes him and I'm scared that she'll push him away."

"Jake's a Puckerman, we don't give up that easily. How do you think I managed to get you?" he smirked. Rachel smiled and pressed her lips to his. Puck deepened the kiss and lifted Rachel up on the counter. He ran his hand up her leg, attempting to slip it between her thighs while he began to kiss her neck.

"Noah, our younger siblings are in the next room. I don't think we should be…doing…oh Noah," Rachel moaned as Puck found that spot on her neck that drove her crazy.

"Come on babe," Puck purred into her neck. "I haven't been able to touch you in weeks. Instead that fucker, Sam, got to."

Rachel pulled his head up so he could look at her. "I never did anything with Sam. The most we did was kiss. And even then I was wishing that it was you."

Puck smiled at this new information and leaned in to kiss her again. "Well then I guess I should show you what you've been missing." Before Rachel could protest, he pressed their lips together again. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Oh gross," they heard someone say. Puck and Rachel pulled away from each other to find their younger siblings looking at them in disgust.

"Come on, Rach." Marley groaned. "This is where we eat. Don't you have a bedroom for that?"

Rachel's face felt hot from embarrassment. "Maybe but someone has to watch you two."

"Actually Jake was just about to leave but he wanted to talk to you and Puck. But I guess you two were too busy sucking face to notice." Marley turned to Jake. "I'll see you at school on Monday."

Jake nodded before Marley turned to go to her room. Once they heard the door close, Jake turned to Puck and Rachel. "Alright so I've been trying to get Marley to be more comfortable around me but nothing seems to be working. I really want to ask her out but she just won't budge. Do you know what I could do to get her?"

Rachel shook her head. "I wish I knew, Jake. I've been trying to get her to admit that she liked you for the longest time but every time I try to bring it up, she won't listen to me."

They sat there in silence for a moment, trying to think of what they could do about Marley. Suddenly, Puck lifted his head up. "Wait, I have an idea. We trick her into getting with you."

Jake rolled his eyes. "Puck I really don't think tricking her into sex would do any good. Marley's a good girl and I'm not like that."

"Not that, get your head out of the gutter. I meant why don't we set up a date for you two and just get Marley there?"

"And what if she tries to run out?" Rachel asked.

"That's what we'll be there for. If she tries to get pass me, I'll just pick her up and bring her back. We're not going to let her keep running from this. Not this time."

Rachel thought about the plan. She didn't want to trick Marley into doing anything but if they didn't, Marley would keep living a life that's closed off to people. They had to do this for her own good. She looked at the boys and nodded. "Let's do this."

XXXXXXXXX

At work the next day, Rachel was trying to forget about all of the bad things that could come with their plan tonight. She just didn't want Marley to react the wrong way and become upset with all of them. She didn't tell anyone but she has been looking into support groups for Marley. Maybe putting her with other kids who are going through the same thing she's going through will make her feel better.

Puck noticed how distracted Rachel has been since she showed up for work so he went over to Quinn. "Hey, do you mind taking over Rachel's work for a little bit?"

"You wouldn't be trying to seduce Rachel at work, would you?" Quinn gave a knowing smirk.

"Mind your business Fabray. Just say you'll do it."

"Will I get paid extra for this?"

"Fine, yes." Puck rolled his eyes. Quinn smiled and walked away while Puck went over to Rachel. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hi. Does my boss need something?"

"Yes he does. Come on, I got Quinn to take over your work."

"You're really not doing well with staying professional at work, you know that right?"

Puck ignored her and pulled her towards his office and locked the door behind them. He looked at Rachel, who had a confused look on her face. "You've been distracted ever since you got here and I want to check and see if you're okay."

Rachel smiled at how considerate he was being. "I'm fine. I just keep thinking about what if Marley gets angry at me or any of us for this plan that we have tonight. I wouldn't be able to handle it if she just shut me out completely."

"Babe, she won't. She'll realize that we're only doing this because we care about her and want her to be happy. And if my little bro makes her happy, then she should have him."

"But-"

"Rach, I think you just need to relax. And I'm going to make that happen." Before Rachel could question him any further, Puck leaned in and kissed her. She deepened the kiss as he slipped his tongue against hers, moving his hands to sit on her hips. Puck backed them up until they hit his desk. Feeling it behind them, he lifted Rachel up and sat her on the edge all while never parting their lips.

While he began to focus his attention on her neck, Puck moved his hands down and slipped them inside of Rachel's shorts. He runs his finger over her through her panties, smirking at how wet it was. She held her breath, not wanting to let out a loud moan with everyone else outside of the office, either working or being waited on. But she couldn't deny how good Puck was making her feel. Especially with her lack of experience throughout the years. Right now, she couldn't think of anything better than to have him fully touching her.

"Noah, please." She breathed out.

He glanced at her. Puck knew what she wanted but decided to torture her for a little longer. "Please what?"

Rachel knew he was trying to get her to say it but right now she didn't care. She just knew that she needed him. "Please touch me."

Not wanting to keep her waiting any longer, Puck placed his hand inside of her panties and began to stroke her clit. His index finger brushed against her entrance, making her let out a whimper. He slid her finger into her, gasping at how tight Rachel was. She bucked her hips into his as he used his other hand pull down her tube top. Once it was out of the way, he planted kisses all over the parts of her breasts that were not covered by her strapless bra. She was finding it harder to hold in her moans from everything Puck was doing to her.

"Let it out baby," Puck whispered to her. "Let me know how good I'm making you feel right now."

Rachel responded with a breathy moan. To prevent her from getting too loud, Puck pressed his mouth to hers before adding a second finger. Her hands fisted his shirt as she let out another moan into his mouth.

"We…we have to stop." Rachel moaned out. "I have to…get back to…oh Noah faster."

Puck smirked at her inability to stop him and pressed a kiss under her ear, knowing that it drove her crazy. "Your wish is my command." He picked up the pace as she began rolling her hips against his hand. Soon, he started feeling her walls clench around his fingers and a moan fell from her lips as her back arched. Puck watched as she came undone in his arms.

When she came down from her high, Rachel looked at him. "I can't believe we just did that in your office. And on your desk."

Puck waved her off. "I don't mind it. It was worth it to get you moaning like that."

Rachel blushed as she pulled her tube top back up. "As much as I appreciate that distraction, I think I should get back to work. Wouldn't want my boss to fire me for being inappropriate."

"I'm sure he doesn't mind. But I think Quinn would rob me if she does any more of your work so you should go back. But relax. Our plan is going to work. We're going to get our crazy brother and sister together."

Rachel giggled and left the office, more relaxed than ever. When Quinn, Santana and Brittany saw the look on her face, they went over to her and just looked at her. Rachel looked back them, confused.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Puckerman just totally fucked you in his office, didn't he?" Santana asked.

Rachel's jaw dropped. "What? Why would you say that?"

"It's written all over your face," Quinn smirked.

"Yeah, it's the same face I have when Santana and I have sex right before we come here," Brittany added, happily. Rachel and Quinn laughed at Santana's eyes widened at her girlfriend's comment.

"Anyway no, Noah and I did not have sex in his office. He just had to walk to me about something." When she finished explaining, the girls still didn't believe it so she sighed. "Okay, I'm not telling you what we did. I'll just say his fingers did some work."

She quickly walked away while Santana, Brittany and Quinn squealed with the new revelation. Rachel rolled her eyes at her friends but couldn't get the smile off her face. Puck had definitely calmed her down and made her way more relaxed.

XXXXXXXX

Later on that night, Puck, Rachel and Jake were ready to put their plan into action. They set up the loft to look like a fancy restaurant and cooked Marley's favorite food. When they finished, they waited for Marley to come home from Mercedes' house.

Rachel looked at the boys. "Are you guys sure this will work?"

"Rach stop worrying." Puck put a comforting hand on the small of her back. "We're going through with this and Marley will love us for it."

Before Rachel could respond, the door opened and Marley walked in. She looked at everyone, confused. "What's going on?"

"We set up a date for you and Jake," Puck smirked.

Marley started backing up. 'But I didn't want to go on a date with Jake."

Rachel went over to her. "Marley, listen to me. You know that you like Jake, you told me so yourself. So when you like someone, you go out with them."

"I can't. I'll lose him and then I'll really never forgive myself." Marley shook her head before running to her room. Rachel ran after her and managed to catch her before she shut her door.

"Marls you need to listen to me and I'm not going to leave you alone until you do. You can shut me out all you want but I promise I will never give up until you believe that you are worthy of being loved and in love."

Marley sighed, knowing that Rachel wasn't playing around this time. "Okay, I'm listening."

"You know that you like Jake. You also know that he likes you too but you're too scared of losing him to take the risk of being with him. Right?" Marley nodded. "I know what happened to Dad and Daddy scared you and makes you want to run away from love altogether. Trust me, I get it. I felt the same way with Noah. But I decided to take a chance anyway. I decided to go after him and it's paying off."

Marley rolled her eyes. "For now. How do you know things won't go bad later?"

"I don't. But I would rather take a chance on maybe falling in love than to be sitting here, wondering 'what if'. You'll never if things will work out with Jake unless you try. Don't miss out on your chance with a really great guy because you don't know the outcome. You never know, it may all work out in the end."

"But how do I know if he's the guy for me?"

"Marls, you've rejected the guy numerous times. Jake isn't used to being rejected by girls. If he really didn't like you so much, he would've been gone by now. But instead, here he is constantly trying and currently standing in our living room, waiting for you to come back so you can have your first date together. That's how you know he's the guy for you. Don't let him slip away."

Marley thought about it and sighed. She knew that Rachel was right. She was just going to have to swallow her fears and try this thing out with Jake. Looking at Rachel and nodding, the two Berry sisters left the room and went to join the boys in the living room. Marley went over to Jake and took his hand.

"Does this mean we have a date?" Jake asked. Marley smiled and nodded. Jake smiled back and led Marley over to the table while Puck looked at Rachel.

"So what'd you say to her?" he asked.

"Just that she needed to give him a chance. Just like I gave you a chance," she smiled. Puck smiled back before giving Rachel a soft kiss. When they pulled away, Rachel smiled to herself. There could be a chance that she was falling in love with Puck but she couldn't be. They haven't been together that long and love doesn't happen so quickly. Does it?

Yay, Marley and Jake are finally together thanks to the help of their big siblings. Could Rachel be falling in love? Is it possible that Puck feels the same way? Find out in the next chapter. Don't forget to review. Bye for now :)
