Puck had just finished typing when a message popped up requesting a video chat. He smiled as he accepted; Rachel's face appeared on the screen.

"I was just thinking about you." Puck lent back in his chair with a smirk.

"That's good because I was just thinking about you too." Rachel echoed his smile.

"Finn knows." Puck informed her.

"The two of you didn't get in a fight did you?"

"No. We're playing Halo tomorrow."

"That's good. How are you doing with the essay?"

"You tell me I just emailed it to you." Puck scratched the back of his head. "How did ice-cream go?"

"It was good, but I think Santana could eat her weight in ice-cream." Rachel supposed.

"When we were kids her parents took a bunch of us out to Baskin Robins, she had to have a scoop of every flavour. So what do you talk about when you're eating ice-cream?"

"Since it was a meeting of most of your ex-girlfriends so of course you were the main topic of conversations. "

"Really?"

"No. We did discuss if there was any chance of getting Sam back into his Rocky Horror costume."

"What Rocky Horror costume? I was in juvie remember?"

"Tight short shorts."

"And…" He prompted.

"That's it."

"You want to get Sam half naked?" Puck was slightly annoyed.

"He is very cute." Rachel teased. "But his arms aren't as nice as yours."

"Damn right." Puck sighed. "Maybe you should be having this conversation with Kurt."

"Mercedes and I are having lunch with him on Saturday." Rachel paused. "You do know that everyone in school will know by tomorrow."

"So?" He shrugged. "Who care what they think right?"

"You know this could mean more slushies aimed at you." Rachel pointed out.

"I can handle if it means you sitting in my lap again." He winked at her.

"So did Puck tell you he loves you yet?" Mercedes asked as she helped Rachel clear up some sheet music.

"No." Rachel replied.

"Did you tell him?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because…" Rachel sighed, "Things have been going well and I don't want to scare him away by telling him I love him. You know he'd freak out and run for the nearest exit. It's easier not to rock the boat. "

"I'd have a little more faith." Mercedes said. "And I just remember I have to be somewhere else."

Rachel knew from the way Mercedes had glanced behind her before she ran out what had happened. She took a breath.

"Hello Noah."

"Is that what you really think of me?" He asked.

"Can we just forget you heard that?" She requested.

"No."

Rachel turned around slowly to find he was stood right in front of her. She for once in her life didn't know what to say.

"I love you even if you are crazy." Puck stated. Rachel just looked at him. "You need to say something because I'm starting to feel like a douche."

Rachel slowly broke out into a smile and threw her arms around him and kissed him.

"I love you too." She whispered. "Hold on a second." She stepped back before calling out. "Mercedes call Kurt and remind him it's his turn to buy the pizza tonight after the game."

"You got it." Mercedes called back.

"How did you know she was out there?"

"Because I would have been." Rachel kissed him again.

"So you're coming to my basketball game tonight?"

"I don't really understand it but its basketball season I should probably learn."

"You're amazing, crazy but amazing." He kissed her again. "I love you."

"I love you too."
