Hi my dearies! :)
I won't stress enough how grateful I am of every single one of you who read, faved, followed and REVIEWED my story! I can't express in words how happy I am when I see that you decided to leave your opinion! So, please, don't stop and keep reviewing!:) - since FF says that I can't send personal messages to neppo618 and rjewels18, I want to thank you from here!
It's Valentine's Day here at "Welcome To New Directions!" Even if I don't feel like it's the best chapter I've written so far, I hope you'll enjoy it! (Just so you know, there's a little bit of smut at the beginning..)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Unfortunately.
It was Valentine's day, the first one with Puck and Rachel as a couple, and they couldn't spend it together: she had her day full between classes and her job at the diner and he had to work as well, since the club was always full on that day. So Rachel decided to organise an evening with the ones who shared her same unfortunate fate that day: Mercedes, Quinn and Kurt (they hadn't make it official yet, but they made huge steps into their relationship). She would had invited Marley too but Finn told her that they weren't together, they just met a couple of times and he really liked her but they weren't together.
But, right now, she woke up in his arms and it was the best spot in the world to her. She turn until she was facing him, putting an effort into not turning too fast: he was sound asleep. His mouth was a little bit open and he was snoring lightly. She smiled at how peaceful he looked, so much different from the person he pretended to be during the day.
She smirked when she decided to give him the first Valentine's gift of the day. She slid under the blankets and, as subtle as possible, she turned him so he was lying on his back, freeing his already erected member from his pants and licking it with the tip of her tongue. She closed her hand around it and started to move it slowly. As soon as she put the tip of his dick in her mouth, she felt him stir and mumble something; she smirked as his reaction. Rachel released the tip with a clear 'bop'.
He thought he was dreaming. A damn good dream, if you ask him; and it felt so real too. He felt himself being dragged out of his dream but the good sensation didn't disappear. However he felt that something was missing, that someone was missing: he couldn't feel Rachel next to him; so he tried to reach for her but suddenly he felt his balls being squeezed and Rachel's mouth around his shaft.
"Shit, baby" he moaned, looking down and seeing the outline of her head bobbing under the blankets. He shut his eyes tightly, his arms resting on his forehead and breathing deeply. She slid slowly until it was out of her mouth and, while leaving sweet pecks in all his length, said "Good morning, honey". She took it in her mouth again, until he was able to feel the back of her throat, and she started to hum, making him shiver and groan a lot louder. As final touch, she started to bob her head again and he was sent on the edge, grunting a series of expletives and releasing his load in her mouth. She swallowed to the last drop and started to slide on his body, leaving open-mouthed kisses on the way.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Noah" she whispered and kissed him sweetly on his cheek when she was facing him, even if his eyes were still closed and he was still out of breath.
He opened one eye and laughed, hugging her tight. "Babe, could you wake me up like this every single time?" he said, making her laugh too. She shook her head and replied "You have to earn it. And since today we can't be together as I would like, I decided to make you another surprise.".
He raised an eyebrow and asked "Another?", at which she nodded with a bright smile. She got up, making him whine before he wanted to keep her there with him a little longer, and started to look into her bag for his actual present and card. When she finally found them, she jump back in bed with a grin and extended them to him.
He popped on his elbows and took them. "Babe, please tell me that there aren't kittens in the card" he whined jokingly, with a playful smirk on his face. She pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest before saying "Kittens are cute and adorable, Noah. I don't know why you despise them so much in cards!".
He laughed out loud and kissed her pout "Because I'm a badass and I deserve a card with skulls and flames and something like that" but she slapped lightly his chest with both her hands and told him "Would you just open it already, for the love of God?".
He opened the envelope and found a bright pink card with two bees and a white heart. The writing in it said "Bee mine" in a loopy type. He laughed harder than before while she smiled broadly and beamed saying "See, Noah? You should really give me more credit!". He looked again at the card and then joked "Now, I totally regret the kittens", making her huff and fold her arms.
He smiled and dragged her under the covers and between his legs, with her back leaned on his chest; he moved her hair away from her neck and peck it. "You're a dork, babe" he said smiling and laughing when he heard her complaint but he decided to let it slide, open the present she gave him and, with eyes wide open, exclaimed "This is the coolest shit ever! Babe, really? A Super Mario key holder? This is fucking awesome!".
She turned a little so they see each other's face and replied "I'm really happy you like it. I brought one for myself too; the only difference is that, instead of Mario, mine has Princess Peach in it". He smiled and kissed her soundly before saying "It's perfect for your present".
She gave her a puzzled gaze and kept watching at him while he opened the drawer of the nightstand and picked up a small rectangular box, giving it to her. He tilted his head towards her and told her "C'mon Rach. Open it up".
Say that she was confused when she saw a key in the box was an understatement so she asked "What does this key open, Noah?" but he shrugged and, with a small smile, answered "It's the key of my place. I'd like you to have it. I trust you, B, and I fucking love you so I think it's time for you to have it". Rachel was stunned and got a little emotional with his short speech so, for the first time in her life, she decided to keep it simple and, with a broken voice, whispered "I love you too, baby", before kissing him deeply.
Unfortunately she had to broke the kiss and got ready for her morning class. After 20 minutes, they kissed goodbye before taking separate ways.
Noah went back to his bedroom, took in his hands her dorky card and passed a finger on it. He opened the closet and took out the shoebox where he kept the things that mattered the most to him: in it there were several pictures of Beth through the ages, picture of his family and her Chrismukkah's card. He added her Valentine's card at the pile and smiled fondly before closing it and putting it back where it belonged.
She entered in the living room with a big bowl of pop corn in her hands and announcing "Pop corn ready, ladies! Now, the only thing we have to choose is the movie!". After a long and suffered argument, they settled for Pride and Prejudice and P.S. I love you; just because their significant other couldn't give them their well-deserve romantic evening, Mr. Darcy and Gerald Butler seemed like very good substitutes.
Candles lit the rooms gently while the four friends were watching captivated the story between Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy and sipping at their glasses of wine. Sobs could be heard when Fitzwilliam declared his love to the young woman: thank God that Rachel knew that tears would be shared and filled the room with boxes of Kleenex. When the movie ended, they shared a weepy look and sighed dreamingly.
"Girls, I don't want to sound rude but I really wish I was with Noah right now. Not that I don't enjoy your company but I really wished he didn't have to work tonight: the thought of other women touching my man when I should do it…" Rachel closed her eyes and shook her head lightly but continued with another deep sigh "I really envy Santana and Brittany right now because they can spend the evening together". The others chuckled at her brief speech until Mercedes replied "Welcome to my world, Diva". Three sets of eyes landed on the black beauty's face and the petite brunette asked with sincere curiosity "Didn't you get used to it?" but the other shook her head and told her "Not really. But I know that Valentine's day makes the club earn a lot of money. A lot. Which means more money for our future together. I'll graduate in the spring too and we're trying to save as much money as we can for our future in California so, even if it bothers me too, I just have to deal with it". Mercedes shrugged and smiled at the other three.
Rachel sighed and, with a dreamy voice, said "You two are so cute together! You just exude love form all your pores" but the ebony-skinned woman laughed and promptly replied "Said from a half of the strangest yet most adorable couple of our group, I'll take it as a huge compliment. Yes, me and my bb are quite perfection, excepted when he starts to rap or to talk about how white rappers are far above the others. When he starts, I swear, I'm this close from leave his sorry white small ass!". The room erupted in laughter at their friend's confession and they started to talk about their relationships as well.
"I completely understand you! Sam is such a dork! A very hot one but still… He can talk for hours about superheroes and comic books or about cooking. He made me watch Avatar about 10 times! Sometimes, he drives me nuts!" whined Quinn but Kurt intervened "Oh, C'mon Ice Queen. You can't complain: he's like a puppy following you around for how much he loves you. So, now, the real question is: have Barbie and Ken say those three little magic words to each others?". The man raised a perfect-shaped eyebrow at her, smirking slightly, while Quinn put a strand of her hair behind her ear before saying "I didn't tell him that but he did. Actually, he did it after two dates! It was quite insane. I mean, we barely know each other, how can you already tell me that you love me if you don't know anything about me? And when we got officially together he kinda proposed".
Shrieks from the other three could be heard probably all around the city. Rachel tried to regain her composure and asked still shocked "What do you mean with 'He kinda proposed'?". The blonde woman looked at her friend in the eyes and said "He went down on one knee with a ring and said that I didn't have to freak out and that it was not an engagement ring but it was a promise ring. He wanted to promise me that, one day, we will get married and…", but Mercedes interrupted her and questioned "And what did you say?".
Quinn smiled and took in one hand her necklace, showing them that it had a small band (how the heck didn't they notice that before?!). Mercedes shook her head while Rachel and Kurt were speechless. "You two are basket cases, you totally deserve each other! You're a couple from January, for the love of God! Two months and you're already thinking about marriage? You're wackos" stated the black woman, who wasn't afraid to speak her mind but then her eyes grew wider and added with a hushed tone "Wait… aren't you pregnant, right?".
Quinn stared at her with her mouth hanging open and with an high-pitched voice said "What? No! I'm not pregnant, Mercedes! Listen, I'm not saying that we're gonna get married next month. This isn't an engagement ring but a promise one! And I'm happy that I finally met a man who cherishes me and cares so deep for me! I'm sure that if Puck would have done something like that, Rachel would had say yes as well!"
At the mention of her name, Rachel frowned and crossed her arms "Excuse me! Why do you think that?", making the blonde turn her head to look at the brunette. Quinn smiled and said "Rach, honestly, you would definitely had said yes! You walk around with hearts in your eyes and a dopey smile when he's with you"; this affirmation make Kurt snicker next to the petite brunette, who glared at him and elbowed him in the ribs. She turned her attention back at her blonde colleague and said "First of all, our situations are very different! Before being a couple, Noah and I were friends and we saw each other quite often for basically 4 months! I know him fairly well and, even if I love him very much and he loves me back, I don't think I would accept a contingent proposal because I don't think we're ready for something so important. You and Sam just met and, in a couple of weeks, you were already together. I'm not saying that you should have said no; what I'm saying is that you should had thought that through because it gives quite high hopes about your future with Sam. You didn't even tell him you love him! So, are you really sure you made the right choice accepting such an important promise with a person that you know from a couple of months?" she finished with a concerned face. She wasn't judging her friend; she was just trying to look out for both Quinn and Sam: she really cared for them and didn't want them to be unhappy.
Quinn sighed and, with a small smile, said "He's worthy; even if I didn't tell him that I love him, doesn't mean that I'm not getting there. He's amazing and I'm just happy that a man so kind, beautiful and funny decided that he would like to spend the rest of his life with me. But, as I already told you, we're not getting married in the next couple of months so calm down!"
The other three looked at each other, silently deciding to change subject. "So, what did that charming boyfriends of yours give you three beauties as present?" asked Kurt trying to lighten the conversation. "Chocolates and bracelet" said Mercedes with a big smile on her face while Quinn blushed and told them "A dozen red roses. They're really beautiful". They all turned to see Rachel, who, with a huge grin, replied "Noah gave me a copy of key of his place".
Her friends fanned over the present Puck gave her, gushing about how important it was and how he really cared for her. "Let me tell you something, Rach" started Mercedes "I know the boy from awhile and I can say that he's crazy for you. I've never seen him acting like that with anyone else. Even Artie says that he's quite scared of this change in him but he definitely see that you two are perfect for each other. So props, diva, you tamed the wild tiger!", making Rachel giggle and blush slightly before saying "I didn't domesticate anyone. It just natural with him, so I guess, it's natural for him as well. He's great and I feel so happy to be with him. I really hope that we will last because it would really make my heart break if I would lose him".
"Don't worry, Rachie" Quinn hugged her sideways, resting her head on her shoulder, and said "You two are perfect for each other It's like a match made in heaven… or hell, I still have to figure it out". Mercedes and Kurt nodded furiously at the blonde's statement until Kurt chirped "Well, I guess it's time to watch the other movie, don't you girls agree with me?". Rachel looked at him in the eyes and said "No, my dear. We told you what our men gave us for Valentine's day. Now it's your turn!", at which the other two women squealed and nodded out of curiosity.
Kurt rolled his eyes but with a warm smile answered "He's taking me to see Evita next week". Rachel put her hands on her heart and, with a soft voice, replied "He's taking you to a Broadway show? Oh, honey. You two are just too adorable to be real. I knew you two would be perfect for each other, I'm an amazing matchmaker after all!". "And a very humble one, dear!" stated the man before adding "Now can we put the other movie on? I need to weep a little more". The women in the room agreed with him and continued their Valentine's alternative party.
At the club, the guys were all on stage next some chair while the customers were touching them and dancing with them. It was something that the club did for every Valentine's and Woman's day: the ladies had ten minutes to do everything they want with them (Nothing too explicit or the new bodyguard Shannon Beiste – Karofsky quit but he told Schue to hire Beiste since she's one of the best around- would act on it and throw the client out of the club).
Puck could feel hands all over his body and, for the first time, felt almost disgust for it. This used to be his favourite part of this event; he would had took even a more active part in it but, right now, he felt that something was really wrong. None of the hands that were hungrily roaming his body had that touch or that softness or even that warmth that he wanted to feel on him right now.
Of course, he got along for all the 10 minutes requited; it was his job and he was really good at it but he was damn pleased when the period ended and he was free to go back in their dressing room.
"Fuck" he huffed while sitting heavily on the small couch "was it always that fucking long?", but the others laughed loudly and nodded. Artie looked at him "Now you see why I hate it! Guess you're going to stop mocking me for being so whipped, am I right?", making Puck nod and state "Dude, you're a fucking champ for doing this shit for so much time with a girl around. Really, man. Respect".
The men exited the room minutes later and started to mingle and flirt with the clients in the main room while Finn was performing on stage.
Puck was talking with a blond bitch and he couldn't stand her anymore. Her locks were gathered up in a high ponytail, emphasising her small blue eyes and her pointy nose. She was probably even shorter than Rachel and had very short tubby legs. Her personality sucked big time: she thought she was the shit and that he should feel privileged that she wanted to spend time with her. As Santana would put it, bitch please! His girl mopped the floor with girls like this one!
Suddenly she said "I want to fuck you so hard. Come home with me, you won't regret it". Noah wanted to laugh so hard: who the hell did she think she was? He would barely given her his time of night before Rachel so you could imagine how many possibilities the girl had with him right now! However, he tried to be as polite as possible (he should spend less time with Rachel… she was rubbing him off! …Oh well, who the hell cares! He loved the way she rubbed him off) by saying "Thanks doll, but I don't think I'm going to accept your proposal. I have other plans for the night so…" but the blonde didn't quit that easily "Then tomorrow. I'm willingly to wait for you, even if you're giving up an amazing night with me to fuck some whore".
The man shook his head and stated "What about never?" (politeness flew out the window the moment the bitch called Rachel 'whore') "I'd rather stay with that 'whore' forever than spend other 10 minutes with you". He started to walk away but he was midway to the curtain when he heard her nasal voice say "You're gonna be mine, Puckerone. I want you and no one says no to Kitty Wilde!".
At that, Puck started to laugh out loud: chick was batshit crazy (and not even the good kind, like Rachel).
He was still laughing when he entered back in the dressing room, where Finn was drinking from a bottle of water. The tall one raised an eyebrow at him and, liking his lips from some drops, asked with sincere curiosity "What are you laughing at?". Puck shook his head and dismissed the whole thing with a simple "Crazy chick had her panties in a twist and went all loca when I said no to her fugly ass".
The mohawked man put on a leather vest, ready to get on stage and make those ladies swoon. He checked a few things for his show and went for the door but stopped in front of Finn saying "I'm coming home with you tonight", making the goofy man laugh and reply "Wow, Puck, I'm flattered. So you ditched that girl for me? I might even blush at the revelation. Have you already told Rach that you got a crush on me?".
Puck snorted and told his friend "You would definitely know if I were crushing on you, Finnessa, but worry not, I still prefer tap your sister instead of you", gaining a glare from Finn. "Wait" the tallest of the two said a little bit confused "Rachel didn't tell me that you were coming over tonight…", at which Noah answered to his friend "That's 'cause Rach doesn't know I'm coming over. I told her that I would had gone home right after work". Then he walked out the room, mentally getting ready for another performance.
The two men entered in the dark apartment; the only light was a little lamp in the living room that Rachel always left on for when Finn would come home from work. Finn and Noah took separate ways when the latter entered in his girlfriend's bedroom and waved the other goodnight.
He turned on the little lamp on the nightstand and got rid of his clothes before fishing in her closet for one of his shirts and some sweatpants: they always have a clean change in the other's place (except for his shirt who Rachel regularly stole from him to sleep in – "It's like being hugged by you even when you are not with me" she said all cute and shit… how could he say no to her?).
Rach was all curled up under the thick comforter with her hair in a messy bun and her hands under the pillow, clutching at it lightly. She gabbled under her breath before sighing deep and wiggle a little bit: she was fucking adorable and Puck couldn't help but smile at the sight. He was one lucky motherfucker.
With all the delicacy he could muster and paying attention not to wake her up, he slid under the covers and tried to take her in his arms. He dragged her next to him until her back was glued to his front and then he kissed the back of her bare neck. She gabbled a little bit more before he could distinctively hear her say "Noah" and feel her head wiggle against his arm, trying to getting comfortable. He nuzzled his nose in her hair and breathed deeply, letting the familiar scent soothe his nerves.
He squeezed her lightly, wanted to feel her in his arms and as to making sure that she was real and all his; however, this made Rachel wake up from her dreamy sleep. She stiffed a little when she noticed manly arms around her but then she recognised her boyfriend's scent and breath on her neck and, with a sleepy smile, she turned and looked at him from under her eyelids.
"Hey honey" she said with a groggy voice, pecking his nose and then his lips. He held her tighter and whispered "Babe, sorry. Didn't want to wake you up" but she shook her head with her eyes closed and settled in his embrace before saying "Don't worry. What are you doing here? Thought I would have see you tomorrow".
He nuzzled his nose against hers and, while a smile played on their face, replied "I just want to have you in my arms. This day kinda sucked big time… Well, not all day, this early morning was pretty epic". The last part was said with a smug smirk on his face and she could feel it even if her eyes were still closed. He kissed her leisurely, making her sigh contently, but, as soon as the kiss ended, she said "What happened?", opening just one eye.
"Nothing in particular. It's that you weren't with me" he told her with a low voice but she giggled and hugged him back "Aw! My boyfriend is adorable", which make him mumble "Babe, you know I hate it when you call me that". She released a sleepy laugh and unsaid her previous statement, changing it in "My very badass and masculine boyfriend is adorable".
"Slightly better… but you can do better, B" said Puck after pecking her lips but she shook her head and yawned against his arm before saying "This is the most badass I can get, so be content with it or I go back to just adorable".
He laughed and stated "Babe, the shit I let slide for you", gaining a happy nod from the petite woman who was laying next to him and replied "That's because I'm adorable too, right? We can be cute together". You can totally say that she was overtalking because she was exhausted: she was k.o. after university, work at the diner and the dinner with her friends. She was so tired that she could barely open her eyes, but she was really happy to have her boyfriend here so she tried to be as awake as she could, even if it was resulting to be a quite difficult task for her.
He totally saw that so he kissed her and with an amused voice said "Sure, babe; we can be as cute as you want. But tomorrow, okay? Now go back to sleep" but she shook her head and babbled "No, I want to hear about your day. I want to talk to you, you're here and I'm happy. I don't want to go to sleep yet. Honey, don't make me go to sleep".
He chuckled at her, staring at her features: her eyes were trying to open to look into his but failing miserably and her full lips were pouting. She was really the cutest and hottest woman he had ever seen.
"Rach, you're tired and so am I" he said nicely, playing with her hair while she purred contently at the sensation "So go back to sleep. We can talk in the morning if you want. Alright, princess?". She nodded half asleep, pecked him on the chin (her closed eyes made her miss the lips) and turned around, spooning nicely in his lovely arms. Her breath started to even out, showing that she was falling into a peaceful sleep. Noah turned off the nightstand and relaxed in his position.
He was about to fall asleep too when her voice got his attention when, in a whisper, she called for him "Noah?". He hummed in answer, telling her to go on. "Even if it wasn't the ideal Valentine's day, I wanted to tell you that it was very special to me because it was the first with you. I love you. So much. Sleep tight, honey".
He felt goosebumps down his spine and behind his neck: she definitely knew how to make him love her more and more with every second that passed. He only managed to say "Love you too, B. To infinity and beyond. G'night beautiful" and kissed the back of her head.
A couple of minutes passed he was fairly certain that she was already asleep when he heard her giggle. He heard her muttered "Did you just quote Buzz Lightyear for Toy Story? God, you're adorkable!" This made him laugh but he tried to muffled his laughter against the pillow. When he calmed down, he told her "Shut up and go to sleep. You're talking shit, Babe. I'm not adorkable… At least, adickable!", making her snort. "That doesn't even make sense!" she mumbled but he childishly rebutted with a "You're face doesn't make sense".
He totally felt the slap on his arm. She was definitely strong for being a sleep midget.
He held her as close as possible and left butterfly kisses on her neck before saying "Now sleep, B". The two finally fell into a peaceful sleep, both feeling like they were right where they were supposed to be.
