CHAPTER XXVI.

Today might be the happiest day of his life for Sam Evans. After months, his left arm finally healed perfectly fine and he felt like nothing could ruin his day. Not even a cold weather in the winter. He felt perfect, normal and great. It was good to think that he could work with his piano again. He missed it like forever. Not only that he felt perfect, he Sam also happy because Quinn was with him, close to him and sit next to him in the car. Everything was good and perfect.

Everything that just happened in months ago, went blur in Sam's mind. All he could think of just Quinn and his hand. Not even Puck fell in love with Quinn or her sickness. For once after she told him that she would not have any hopes if her pills didn't work, Sam forgot about or didn't want to think a bit about it. He just didn't want anything to ruin his day. His life was back, he joked and laughed along with Quinn, something that he missed for months...his humor.

Feeling like a bird, free and happy, Sam drove his car around because the last time he drove, his left hand still couldn't move that much. Quinn was confused at first but then she realized that it was just a shape of happiness from Sam Evans. When she looked around the streets, Quinn almost forgot that Christmas finally approaching, streets and lights already decorated with red and green ornaments. She always liked christmas, and she forgot to ask Sam about his christmas present.

Sam realized that New York already changed into christmas mode but he haven't prepare anything for christmas, he got an idea. He turned around his car and drove to one of shopping mall in New York to buy some christmas thingy.

"What? Where are we going, Sam?" Asked Quinn when she realized that it wasn't their way home. Sam smirked and then he said, "We are going to shop some christmas things. I haven't prepare anything."

"You kidding me right? People prepared everything for christmas like a month ago. It would be so crowd right now!"

"You can wait outside in the cafe, if you want to. I won't be long." Said Sam without hearing Quinn protest statement. After he parked his car, which he hardly find because Quinn was right. Everyone was coming to shop everything for christmas and just like he said, Quinn agreed to wait him in the cafe near bookshop while he shopping his needs.

Sam promised Quinn to come back an hour later, and he made it. At first Quinn scoffed at his words because he could someone be that fast to shop everything for christmas, but he came on time though. But something that made Quinn suprised the most was the amount of Sam's needs was unbelievable to shop for like an hour. He didn't buy much ornaments for christmas, but he bought some stuffs and lots of foods.

"You know Fabray, I kinda promise Claire something. We are going to have dinner with her since I promised her to bring you back after we made up our fight."

"You told her we were fighting?" Asked Quinn shocked. Thinking that another person could possibly know about her illness.

"Well yeah, but I don't say anything about your illness. Don't worry," Said Sam before Quinn could get angry to him. "So, what do you wanna do before we go to Claire and Josh's?"

Quinn thought for awhile. She got an idea! "What about we buy christmas tree for your apartment? Please please? And oh, we can buy some cakes for Claire and Josh."

"I don't think I need christmas tree, sure we can buy cakes but not christmas tree. What for?"

"Come on, Sam! It would be fun! Please? We'll make it beautiful, with me?"

Oh great, Sam thought. He didn't have any choice than agree to Quinn's offer to buy a christmas tree. Sam himself didn't understand why lately he had been such a good man to her, he would anything to her. If Sam flashback to months ago, his old self would be laughing hard right now.

Buying christmas tree was fun, just like Quinn said. She told him that if he want his christmas present, he have to buy christmas tree. Sam didn't expect Quinn to buy him a present but he'd better play her games though himself already bought gifts for her this christmas. After all this time, Sam never bought a christmas tree not even the little one for his apartment. She said that everyone has christmas tree for their own in their home, his apartment would bright and cheerful if he have one. So he bought the nice one. Every additional ornaments for christmas tree, she chose it. Quinn told him that she bought something unique for his christmas tree so whenever he looked at to his tree, he would remember her.

At first, it sounded cheesy but Sam liked it. His position with Quinn slowly turn into more than friends but less than relationship. He didn't get it why. Sometimes, Quinn was more complicated and tricky. So it wasn't easy to guess what's on her mind.

"So they will deliver your christmas tree tomorrow?" Quinn asked Sam when they got into their car.

"Yep. You are going to decor it," Sam told her as he starts the engine. Quinn giggled of thinking how Sam could possibly not liking christmas tree for him. "Not without you. So we are going to decor it. No exceptions."

Sam groaned lazily while Quinn find it cute. Somehow, Quinn already got used to his mutters or groans as her entertainment. As Sam's car started to walk, Quinn stopped talking instead she having good time looking at streets where people were running because the rain started to pour. Quinn always liked rain. Something about rain always calm her mood, perfectly good if she had hot chocolate with her. Just like when she was with Sam, everything just be fine, nothing to worry about, she felt protected and safe. If only Sam could be forever with her, everything would be enough for Quinn Fabray.

"So this is where you will buy cakes for Claire and Josh?" asked Sam looking at the cake shop named Lucky Bakery. He didn't sure about go inside the shop because it was too girly. Quinn giggled because she knew that he wouldn't want to get inside. But he should, she didn't want to be alone. "What's wrong with your face? Ready to go in?"

"I'm not sure. I'll just waiting for you in the car." Said Sam still doubting to go inside the store. He didn't bother to get out from his car. It was still raining a little but it didn't burn out Quinn's excitement to buy cakes, not without Sam. Getting out from his car, Quinn ran into Sam's side to pull himself out of car. "Come on Sam! Come on! It's still raining, don't be like a kid."

"It's too girly, Fabray. Argh." Sam groaned when he finally got out of the car. But not moving from where he stood. Quinn rolled her eyes, let herself intertwined her arms to his to she could pull Sam's body to get inside. The funny thing was Quinn didn't realize that she was being like a kid, so Sam let out his laugh and started to walk following Quinn. Little thing she knew, Sam twirled his arm and he held her hand, so now they walked hand-in-hand.

Quinn was one hundred percent sure that her heartbeat was stop even for awhile when Sam held her hand. It was the first time after they made up their fights. And for a record, it was not coincidence or anything. She was sure that Sam realized that he was holding her hand. Quinn walked but looked down, trying to hide her blush from Sam.

"Okay, let's get this done." He smiled without letting go her hand.

-S&Q-

Noah Puckerman was walking with Mike Chang after grabbed a cup of coffee together nearby before Puck realized that he just saw Sam's car parked in front of Lucky bakery. He knew that today was Sam's last check-up date so probably he was going to buy some cakes to celebrate. Noah Puckerman had no idea.

"Hey Chang! That's Sam!" said Puck grabbing Mike's shoulder. Puck pointed to Sam's direction. Mike turned to see what was Puck means. He narrowed his eyes, realizing that Sam wasn't alone. He was somebody else. A girl, but looked familiar. It was Quinn Fabray. Mike knew that they were having some sort of partnership but Mike didn't know that they were that close.

"Is that Quinn?" Asked Mike to make sure, Puck ofcourse knew that it was Quinn. He didn't answer Mike's question because Puck already smiling when he looked at her. A perfection on her, she didn't accept him as her boyfriend though the other day. But someday Puck hoped that she would consider her answer.

Puck was about to walk towards them before suddenly his jaw hardened, he saw something that he didn't think he would see. Quinn pulled Sam to follow her inside the Bakery. She was being a little girl to Sam, just like a girlfriend to her boyfriend. But the most shocking thing was when Sam twirled his arm and held her hand. So they walked hand in hand. It was like Sam have done that before, holding her hand. Puck saw that with both of his eyes, their laughter and their attitude, no more awkwardness and he saw a blush in Quinn's face but she tried to hide it.

Puck knew that they were no longer fighting over non-important things or they relationship were better, not like their first meeting. But... Mike noticed that they were not moving so he asked, "Are going to greet them or not?"

"Wait." That was the only response Puck gave to Mike. He was to busy looking at them inside the shop. They were holding hands, still. Quinn didn't let go of his hands. She chose some cakes, and then Puck had no idea what was Sam saying to her but the next he knew Quinn pouting and Sam pinch her cheek. But..they were not enemies, in fact Quinn was laughing after and talking to the seller.

Puck might not see Sam's face because he was standing behind him. But the thing was, he could see Quinn's face and eyes. She never did the same things to him before. It was hurt. Disappointment and sadness hit him hard, his chest were hard. After all this time he thought she liked Sebastian Alexander. He was wrong.

Quinn might smile, act, nice to other people equally, but Noah Puckerman just realized that she didn't look and stare at them the same way. It was clear that Quinn Fabray likes Sam Evans...

More than she likes Noah Puckerman...

Noah Puckerman took a deep breath, hardly believing that he had accept this fact. He wanted to punch or beat Sam up in his face but he wasn't sure about his feelings towards Quinn. He never told him...

"Hey I don't know they are close now." Said Mike to himself but it made Puck come back from his daydream. Puck sighed, hands on his pocket, "Let's go, Chang."

All the questions was still hanging to Puck's head right now, many questions. One of them was, What exactly Sam feels when he's around Quinn? Or whether she likes her or not...?

Probably, yes.

But Sam knew that Puck loves her, why? Why him?

For the records of their brotherhood friendship since they were in diapers, Sam and Puck never fights. Fights about toys, fights about love from Sam's parents, and fights about girls. Until now, they never fights.

But it was about to change, it was like right now they had to fights. Because this one girl, Puck didn't want to fight. And he knew perfectly well that Sam also didn't want to share her with him.

Puck then grabbed his phone from his pocket type a quick text to his bestfriend.

"Evans, we need 2 talk. 2nite?"

Meanwhile inside the bakery, Sam could feel his phone vibrated. A text from Puck. He read it quickly but he frowned. Puck never called him Evans unless he was angry at him but it was rarely happens. Ignoring Quinn for awhile, Sam replied his text.

"Sure. What happened? Seems weird, 2nite is fine. After dinner, I'll text you more."

Still thinking of what happened to Puck, Sam didn't realize that something happens on the bakery. He didn't realize until the seller screamed for his help...

to be continue...
