A/N: Two things; one; I have writers block, kinda. I've been 'writing' but it hasn't been this. I have like seven unfinished one-shots/two-shots, and most have either Rachel or Noah/Puck as the main character. four are puckleberry, two are cherry(mike/rachel) & one is Tina/Puck. I was reading a Mike/Rachel oneshot and it had a side Tina/Puck are it was just adorable, and i fell in love with the couple :3
& two; honestly? I've been avoiding this, because its like the one of the best 'stories' i've written. & i know that it'll have a sucky ending because of the writers block. So i'm trying my best to get this just over with.
I think i might just upload oneshots and two shots from now on... The whole chapter stories are so hard.
Finally got the 'duet' over with though ;D
for the 'duet' its Rachel, Sam, Both.
"Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like." — Lemony Snicket
- - Rachel- -
The duets went by too quick and at the same time too quick.
Santana and Noah's version of 'Price Tag' was just amazing, Kurt and Finn dropped out because they couldn't agree on a song. Artie sang 'Billie Jean' while Mike dance. Tina and Brittany sang, Fairytale by Sara Bareilles. At the moment, Quinn and Mercedes are preforming The Edge Of Glory.
She's sitting between Brittany and Kurt, and Sam's sitting behind her. She's nervous to say the least, her and Sam practice only three times maybe four. It doesn't help that tonight is also the same night she's meeting Sam's family.
"Rachel, Sam are you ready?"
She looks up and turns toward Sam, he smiles at her. She turns back to Mr. Schue, and nods. She gets up and smooths down her dress before walking to the front with Sam in tow. They both face away from the rest of the members,
"Are you sure we can do this? we only practice three times."
"We have to, as the saying goes, 'The show must go on'"
He nods dumbly and grabs the guitar.
"You sure about this?"
She nods, and stands next to Sam looking at the floor. Waiting for the music to start.
Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in my wooden shoes
In a wedding gown
She looked up and looked towards Sam, he's smiling at her. Stomach filled with butterflies, she looks away again. She can't help it, he makes her so nervous.
Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?
Both herself and Sam never leave where they stand, glued to the floor almost. He's just as nervous, if not more.
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
Kurt was smiling sadly at the two, he had/has a feeling the two are falling in love with each other, they're just being force to not get together. Kurt even sends a glare at Noah, knowing it's mainly Noah keeping them apart.
Laughing with your pretty mouth(pretty mouth)
Laughing with your broken eyes(broken eyes)
Laughing with your lover's tongue(lover's tongue)
In a lullaby
Sam was smiling at Rachel, but she wouldn't meet his gaze.
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
The stars go blue, stars go blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
The stars go blue, stars go blue
Rachel looked up at Sam's smiling face, she honestly felt weak in the knees. She couldn't understand, it has to be the songshe thought.
Follow you
Follow you
Everyone could feel the emotions in the room, it screamed out to them. And it was starting to annoy some.
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
Where do you go when you're lonely?
Where do you go when the stars go blue?
They finished the song looking towards each other, Rachel's hands resting on her stomach, and Sam staring at her. Both almost out of breath, and looking at each other like their lives depending on it.
The first to clap was Kurt, being the number one 'evanberry' fan. Santana and Brittany soon joined after, Brittany smiling huge and Santana muttering something like 'so freakin' charming' but had a tiny smile on her face. Everyone else slowly following them, Rachel was even shocked that Noah joined in.
Blushing, she turned away from Sam and smiled at the rest of the members. Sam pushed his guitar to his back and grabs Rachel's hand tugging her to take a bow with him. She giggled, following him.
"That was great! Ask anyone in here, and they would say how much raw emotion you can just feel when you two sang together." Mr. Schue smiled, clapping his hands together and waving the two to their seats.
"Now, its time to pick who'll sing at sectionals. You can't vote for yourselves. and whoever is picked, gets a free meal from breadsticks"
She wrote down Noah & Santana on her piece of paper, and dropped it in the hat before sitting down and glancing up to meet Sam's gaze on her. He smiles at her, and points to his phone.
She nods and turns around, noticing Kurt's staring at her.
"What's going on with you two?"
She leans over to his ear, not wanting Noah to hear.
"His mother wants to meet me, I'm going over to his house tonight"
Pulling back she's met with a shocked face, and soon after a smile from ear to ear. She just knows. Knows Kurt's going to dress her for tonight. As much as she loves Kurt, she hates it when he gets into his match-maker mode.
"This isn't a date"
He just shakes his head.
"Oh, Rachie. You, my dear haven't realize you and pretty boy are a match made in heaven and so in love with each other. It is a date"
She shook her head and ignored him and trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach.
-o-o-o-
"Kurt, i keep telling you it isn't a date."
Kurt's digging through all of her clothes, looking for the right outfit for tonight. She's laying on her bed, just waiting for him to finally understand that it isn't a date.
"keep telling that to yourself, it is a date, you're meeting his family."
"So?"
He looks up and looks at her like she's insane, he was about to say something when her door opens.
"Rachie has a date? Who is it! who is it!"
"Abbi! Close the door! Noah can't hear this!"
Abbi looked at her confused, but closed the door anyway. Rachel groaned knowing, that it'll be even longer before she has to go to Sam's. She pulled out her phone, and texted him.
heads up, Kurt's dressing me up. sorry if I'm a lil late :(
"Rachie, is it the boy Noah was talking to a couple weeks ago?"
She nods.
OK. mom is being a lil late from gettin out of work so.. & Kurt does know you arent a doll, right?
she giggled, looking up at Kurt who was still digging through her clothes. Shaking her head, she replied.
I don't think he knows. I gtg before he takes my phone away.
"Okay Miss Diva, here is the perfect dress for your 'not-date' with Sammy boy! Put this on, and we'll go from there"
She rolled her eyes, and grabbed the sundress from him. When she walked out of the bathroom, she was rushed towards her desk chair.
"Abbi, why are you helping him?"
She shrugs and hands Kurt lip-gloss,
"Is this Sam guy the baby's daddy?"
Rachel nodded.
"Isn't he the same guy you've been texting non-stop?"
Rachel nodded again, "That's why!"
"You, little Abbi, my new best friend!"
Kurt smiled at the small girl, before finishing Rachel's eye-shadow.
It's nothing too light or too dark, then starting brushing her hair and pulling her hair into an adorable pony-tail. Over-all, she had to admit, the dress and makeup is perfect.
"Rachie you look so pretty!"
"See, Diva, this will make Sam fall in love with you! if not more in love!"
She rolled her eyes but smiled. She slipped her black flats to add to the outfit. The sundress is white, plain and simple. Her eye-shadow, is light pink, and her lipgloss is pink.
"Kurt I'm not just having dinner with him, it's with his family!"
A/N: Don't worry the next chapter will be out a lot faster then this one.. Only because i'm 95% sure on how the dinner with Sam's family is going to be. I really wanted to make this the chapter that Rachel finally ends up making her mind and letting her feelings show.. But it didn't happen.
So, my school starts next week (the 6th) and i'm kinda forced to get better grades this year. that'll be fun! (not).
okay, i would put something longer and explain why i avoid this, but i won't.
the review button is waiting to be hit on ;)
