A/N: Whoo hoo, or as Sami would say "OH YEAH" - over the 100 review mark now, and start screaming uncontrollably about it (much like what happens when I stick her in front of AVPM!)
So thank you, thank you to all of you have reviewed this story and also all those who haven't but have enjoyed reading it! Next goal is 200 reviews! :)
Hoping that over the course of the next few chapters, I will reach that goal, because some good things are about to happen. (If not for me, do it for Sami, she gets rather excited about reviews for this!)

Just to address a few things, in reviews since some are from guests - yes for the moment Puck is still with Marley, and even though I didn't go down the track of actually have them wed, there are reasons that I have them trying to work it out.
I don't want an easy resolve for Puckleberry, I want them to both realize at the same time, when it's right, that yes they are indeed both in love with one another.
As for Mikki and Blaine - I think a lot of you did see that one coming (especially if you have read my other Glee stories on here, you know that is my OTP, even if one isn't an actual from the show!)

And as one reviewer said, I honestly agree - denial must run in their family! So anyway this chapter sees the storyline which take part, over a week - see it moving forward, and all that happens here is esssential to the overall outcome of everything, eventually.


And with that, I will leave you to read - and note this chapter takes part over a couple of days after the 'not' wedding between Puck and Marley.
So apart from that you know what to do at the end, review and if you haven't already faved/followed this story, then please do!

Love to you all,
KJ xoxoxo


Chapter 28 -

Mikki and Blaine were lying in her bed together, after they had continued what had started between the two of them in Canada.

"So this is something isn't it?" asked Mikki.

"What do you mean?" asked Blaine, rolling to his side and looking at her.

"This, what we're doing here. It's not just about sex is it?" asked Mikki.

"Well I will admit the sex is pretty amazing, but no it's not" said Blaine, and kissed her.

Mikki returned the kiss for a bit and then pulled away. "Are we both wanting the same thing here?".

"Mmhmm" replied Blaine, and kissed her again.

"Okay kissing me is not an answer" said Mikki, with a laugh.

Blaine looked at her. "I like you a lot, okay. And I want to, if you're also willing; see where it goes"

"Me too" replied Mikki, with a smile and kissed Blaine again.

"So we're in a relationship then, for like real as a couple" said Blaine, looking at her.

"Yeah, if that's what you want" replied Mikki.

Blaine nodded. "Definitely".

"Me too" replied Mikki.

Blaine smiled at her and then kissed her again, Mikki returning the kiss.

"Mik, hello? You home?" asked Sam's voice out in the living room of the apartment.

"Crap" said Mikki.

"What's he doing he here?" asked Blaine.

"Well we didn't exactly lock the door now when we came in here" said Mikki.

"No, maybe we should in future" said Blaine.

Mikki nodded getting out of her bed and grabbed a pair of pajama pants and top that was on the floor. "I'll get rid of him" she said, and walked out of her room, closing the door behind her.

"Hey Sam" said Mikki, as she walked out into her living room.

Sam looked at her. "Oh hey, were you sleeping?"

Mikki shook her head. "Just relaxing really, didn't get much sleep last night in Canada, with the whole Rachel thing"

"Right, well I was just wondering if you had seen Blaine at all?" asked Sam.

"No, not since we got back here and he went to yours and his apartment" said Mikki.

"Oh okay, just that I got home and he's not there. So thought he might be here hanging out with you" replied Sam.

"Nope, sorry he's not. Unless you think I have him in my bedroom or something like that" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Yeah, definitely don't think that" replied Sam with a laugh also.

"Sorry, can't help you then" replied Mikki.

"He's probably gone to get a coffee or something knowing Blaine" said Sam.

"Probably" replied Mikki.

Sam nodded. "Okay well I'll let you get back to relaxing then".

"Thanks" replied Mikki.

"Catch you later" said Sam.

"Later" replied Mikki and Sam left the apartment.

She waited until Sam was most definitely away from the front door of the apartment and put the chain across and then went back to her room.

"He wanted to know where you were" said Mikki, getting back into her bed.

"You didn't tell him I was here" said Blaine.

"No, but that does bring up the question of, are we going to tell people that we have a thing going on here?" asked Mikki.

"Maybe until we know that this is actually something, we keep it quiet" said Blaine.

"So we get to sneak around and do this in private and whenever we can" said Mikki, kissing him

"Yeah" replied Blaine.

Mikki laughed. "Okay, yeah that could be kind of fun"

Blaine nodded and kissed her. "So, umm I should maybe go".

"Because Sam's looking for you" said Mikki.

Blaine nodded and grabbed his pants and his cell phone out of them, and saw that during their trysts with one another, Sam had sent him a text.

"Sam texted me" said Blaine.

Mikki nodded and wrapped her arms around Blaine from behind.

"Well you can't exactly tell him you're here" said Mikki with a laugh, kissing him on the cheek.

"No" replied Blaine, as he typed out a reply. "I'm telling him that I went grocery shopping"

"Okay, so you need to be at least doing that then" said Mikki.

"Yep" replied Blaine.

"So I will go over to your apartment, distract Sam long enough for you to get out of my apartment and you go get some of these groceries" said Mikki.

"That be good because I think it will look really bad climbing down the fire escape" said Blaine.

"Well you could try" said Mikki with a laugh.

Blaine laughed also and kissed her. "That's definitely not happening"

"So guess I shouldn't tell you about my hot fireman fantasy then" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her. "What?" he asked.

"Nope, not knowing now sorry" said Mikki, shaking her head.

"I will get it out of you eventually" replied Blaine, kissing her.

Mikki laughed. "Okay you have got to go, otherwise you never will" said Mikki.

"You're right" replied Blaine, getting out of Mikki's bed and putting the clothes that he had been wearing home from Canada, back on.

"Sadly yes, I would love it if you could stay in my bed though" said Mikki, as she also got changed out of the pajamas that she had quickly thrown on in haste, and changed into a pair of jeans and sweatshirt.

"I would love that too" replied Blaine, as the two of them exited her bedroom.

"So when do you think we will get to again?" asked Mikki, as they walked over to her front door.

"Maybe when Sam is at work, I will let you know when that is" said Blaine.

Mikki nodded. "And Rachel will be at work also some nights, so if Sam is home, you can always come here".

"Yeah" replied Blaine, and pulled her in for a kiss.

"Okay, you really need to be going" said Mikki and Blaine looked at her pouting.

"Give me like a minute, to get into your apartment, so you know the coast is clear and then leave" said Mikki.

"Yeah okay" replied Blaine.

Mikki quickly kissed him again and opened her door. "Bye" she said and left closing the door behind herself.

"Yeah bye" replied Blaine, with a smile and waited a few minutes until he too left Mikki's apartment, to go and actually get some groceries.

Rachel got back to New York a few hours after the others. She caught a cab home and walked up the stairs to the apartment. She opened the door and rolled her bag inside and saw Mikki sitting on the sofa, watching a movie.

"Hey" said Rachel.

"Oh hi" replied Mikki, muting the television and turning to look at her best friend.

"Did you have an okay flight?" asked Mikki.

"Yeah, I guess" replied Rachel, leaving her bag by the kitchen table and going and sitting in one of the arm chairs.

Mikki looked at her. "Was there a lot of turbulence or something?" she asked.

Rachel shook her head. "No, I just saw Noah before I got on my flight".

"Hmm, yeah still can't believe he and Marley are going to try and work things out" said Mikki.

"Yeah, well if anything it's made me realise that life is indeed too short, and I am not going to sit around pining after my ex, when he has clearly moved on" said Rachel.

"I don't know Rach, saying another womans' name at his wedding, and also yours specifically. To me that doesn't screamed moved on" said Mikki.

"Well I am done, I'm going to start dating for real again, and see if it leads anywhere" said Rachel.

"If that's what you want to do then, okay" replied Mikki, with a nod even though she wasn't convinced that Rachel's heart was in it one hundred percent.

"We should go out together one night when I'm not working" said Rachel, looking at her friend.

"Why?" asked Mikki.

"Well I would prefer it if someone was there with me, you know make it a girls night out, but still be on the prowl. We're both single as is Britts, it would be fun" said Rachel.

"Yeah, sounds like it could be fun" replied Mikki, although knowing at the moment that she was not at all entirely single.

"Okay, well I don't work the Thursday show, so we'll do it then" said Rachel, with a smile.

"Yah, can't wait" replied Mikki, trying to be enthusiastic about it.

Rachel nodded and stood up. "Okay, I'm going to go grab a shower. I smell like airplane".

Mikki laughed and Rachel went over to get her bag, wheeling it into her room.
Leaving Mikki to wonder how she could possibly get out of a pickup night with Rachel.

Monday in Hawaii, the day after arriving Puck and Marley were sitting in the restaurant of the hotel they were staying at having breakfast.

"So did you want to maybe go for a bike ride or something after this, and see some of the sites around the island?" asked Puck.

Marley looked at him and shook her head. "Rather not" she replied.

"Marls, come on. Don't tell me you want to just sit in the room again doing nothing. We're on a beautiful island, and we should take advantage of that" said Puck.

"I'm not stopping you from going, you can go if you want" said Marley.

"This is meant to be a holiday where we are together, and so far all you have done is mope around and bitch about everything" said Puck.

Marley looked at him. "It was meant to be our honeymoon, and you said another girls name at our wedding".

"For which I have apologized" said Puck.

"Yes, you're not in love with Rachel, so you constantly remind me" said Marley.

"No, you're the one who keeps on bringing it up. Not me. You're the one who seems to be hung up on this" said Puck.

Marley glared at him. "Well maybe you would prefer being here with her" she said, standing up from the table and throwing her serviette on the table.

"Marley, please. Come on" said Puck, but Marley walked out of the restaurant, leaving Puck there on his own.

Mikki got to work on Monday morning, since her holidays were now officially over. She walked in the front doors of the advertising agency and saw Sebastian and Hunter talking with Sugar at reception.

"Cronut?" asked Sebastian, holding out the box of sweets.

"Hmm, don't mind if I do" replied Mikki taking one from the box.

"So how was the wedding?" asked Hunter.

Mikki groaned. "Don't ask" she said.

Hunter, Sebastian and Sugar looked at her.

"Why, what happened?" asked Sugar.

"The groom said another woman's name at the altar" replied Mikki.

"The groom being your cousin and the bride our bosses niece" said Sebastian.

"Yep, so they didn't end up getting married" replied Mikki.

"Wow" said Sugar.

"Yeah, who's name did he say?" asked Hunter.

"His ex girlfriends" said Mikki.

Ohh ouch" said Sebastian.

"Yeah, so there was no wedding" said Mikki.

"Oh god, how pissed was Sue" said Hunter.

"On a scale of one to ten, I would say about one hundred and ten" replied Mikki.

"Oh that's just great" said Sebastian.

Mikki just nodded as the doors opened again, and Sue walked into the office.

"What the hell is this, don't you people have any work to do" she said, looking at the four of them.

Sugar looked at her in fright and turned back to her computer and started furiously typing on the keyboard.

"Cronut?" offered Sebastian holding out the box to Sue.

"No, I don't want those disgusting things. Now get to work" said Sue, and continued on to her office.

"I think we better, you know" said Hunter.

"Yeah" replied Mikki, and the three of them headed off to their own offices to do the work that was assigned to them.

Wednesday night, Sam was out at a modelling job and Blaine and Mikki had decided to take advantage of that and spend some time together.

They were currently in the bathtub at Blaine's apartment when there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, Blaine you in there" said Sam, from outside.

"Umm yeah" replied Blaine, as the door opened.

Mikki looked at him in a panic and then quickly dived under the bubbly water, resulting in more bubbles that looked rather more like air bubbles surfacing.

"Dude, really" said Sam, when he saw that Blaine was in the bath tub and the bubbles that appeared.

"I had a long day okay" said Blaine.

"Right, umm. There's nothing for dinner, so I was thinking I would go and grab some chicken. You want some?" asked Sam.

"No, I don't want chicken. I just want to have a bath in peace" said Blaine.

"Okay dude, no need to get all worked up about it. I'll leave you to your bath" said Sam, and closed the door.

"Hey" said Blaine, tapping Mikki under the water and she resurfaced. "That was close"

Mikki nodded. "What did he want?".

"Wanted to know if I wanted any chicken" said Blaine.

"I could go for some chicken" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her. "Uhh Sam" he yelled.

Mikki held her nose this time and took a deep breath and went under the water again.

"Yeah?" asked Sam, opening the door.

"Sure I could do with some chicken" he said.

"Sure okay, any sides?" he asked.

"Coleslaw and corn, and umm coke" said Blaine.

Blaine felt Mikki squeeze him under the water. "Uh um, diet coke" he said.

Sam looked at him. "Yeah, sure okay. Be back soon" replied Sam, and closed the door.

Mikki resurfaced again from under the water.

"Okay ow" said Blaine, looking at her.

"What you had no complaints before" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Well you didn't grab that hard then" said Blaine.

"Sorry" said Mikki, leaning over and kissing him.

"Hmm, your forgiven. Because I do have you naked in the tub" said Blaine.

Mikki laughed. "Right, and I should probably be going and then at least pretend to come back later, for the chicken you're having".

Blaine nodded. "Yeah" replied Blaine and they both exited the bathtub, before Sam got back home so that they would not be nearly caught out again.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Thursday afternoon after work, Mikki walked into the coffee shop where Brittany and Blaine, who were still on a break from Julliard were sitting and talking with one another.

"Hey" said Mikki, going over to them and sitting on the sofa next to Blaine.

Blaine looked at her and smiled and Mikki returned a small smile of her own.

"Ohh, hi. All ready for ladies night tonight" said Brittany.

"Yeah, totally" replied Mikki, with a nod.

Uhh, ladies night?" asked Blaine, looking at the two of them.

"Yep, Rach, Mik and I are going out, because we're all the single ladies" said Brittany, standing up and doing the Beyonce single ladies dance.

Mikki and Blaine looked at her and laughed.

"So you're going out, huh. Looking for what exactly?" asked Blaine, glancing more so at Mikki when he asked this.

"Don't know. Just really going out to have fun" said Mikki.

"And see if we can find any cute guys as well" said Brittany, who had stopped her impromptu little dance.

"Right of course, because you're all single ladies" said Blaine.

Brittany nodded. "Yeah. I'm just going to go the bathroom and then we can head to your apartment Mik and get ready".

"Yeah sure of course" replied Mikki and Brittany headed to the coffee shop bathroom.

Blaine just looked at Mikki. "Okay don't look at me like that" she said, also looking at him.

"Well I'm just wondering why you said yes, to going out to pick up guys" said Blaine quietly, so that no one in the coffee shop was able to overhear him.

"Because I couldn't exactly say, oh I'm sorry I'm actually sleeping with Blaine and we're kind of seeing one another, when we're not telling people we're a thing yet" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her. "You're not actually going to go and try and you know find someone?" he asked.

Mikki shook her head. "No definitely not" she replied, with a smile.

"Well it's a pity you're going out tonight, because Sam was going to be at work to probably the early morning and we could have been together. But you know your loss, since you'd prefer to go out with Britts and Rach" said Blaine.

"I'll see if I can maybe leave early or something like that, and I'll come over then" said Mikki.

Blaine shook his head. "Nope, sorry. Had your chance".

"Hmmm, I'll make it worth your while" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her. "Really?" he asked.

"Yep, I'll..." started Mikki, and then leant to his ear and whispered the rest.

"Sure if you want to do that" said Blaine, with a smile.

"You'll just have to wait and see now, won't you" replied Mikki, with her own smile.

Blaine laughed as Brittany came back over to them and grabbed her handbag.

"Okay let's go get beautiful" she said.

"Well that won't take much effort, the two of you are already quite beautiful" said Blaine.

"Aww, such a charmer. Hopefully we find guys as sweet as you tonight" said Brittany, as Mikki stood up.

"Yeah, have fun" said Blaine.

"We will" replied Mikki and quickly winked at Blaine.

"Bye Blaine" said Brittany.

"Yeah bye" replied Blaine, and Brittany and Mikki left the coffee shop, leaving Blaine there on his own.

Later that evening, Mikki, Rachel and Brittany were getting ready to go out for their night on the town.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Blaine who was a little bit jealous of the thought of the girl he was seeing, going out on the prowl decided that he wanted to see what she and the others were wearing and what kind of impression that would give single guys.

He opened the door to the apartment, knowing that the three girls had yet to leave and walked into the kitchen area.

"Mikki, hello?" he asked.

"Yes" replied Mikki, from her bedroom where she and the others were getting ready.

"Can I see you for a minute, I need to borrow some rice" said Blaine.

Mikki walked out of her room and went over to him.

"Rice" she said.

Blaine nodded and looked the dress she was wearing.

"Uh huh, I was going to do a chicken stir fry, but I have no rice" said Blaine.

"Okay" replied Mikki, going over to the shelves where she had the rice above the bench.

"White or brown?" she asked.

"Umm, white" replied Blaine.

Mikki nodded and got the container of white rice she had off the shelf.

"Here you go, rice" said Mikki.

"Thanks" replied Blaine.

Mikki looked at him and leant in closer to him. "If you wanted to see what I wearing, you could have been a little less obvious about it".

"No, I needed rice" said Blaine.

"Okay look, I don't want to be going tonight, just as much as you don't want me going. But I need to do this for Rach" said Mikki, looking towards the bedroom and then wrapping her arms around Blaine's waist.

"Yeah, I know. Just wish we could be doing this instead" said Blaine and quickly kissed her.

"Me too" replied Mikki, with a smile and quickly kissed him back.

"And just so you know you do look beautiful" said Blaine.

Mikki smiled at him. "Why thank you", she replied unwrapping her arms from around Blaine and stepping away from near him, just as Rachel and Brittany exited her room.

"Hey Blaine" said Rachel.

"Oh hey Rach" he replied, looking at her and Brittany.

"So what you think Blainers, we're good to go for picking up hot eligible guys?" asked Brittany, doing a little spin.

"Definitely you all look stunning" said Blaine, looking at the three of them and giving Mikki a small smile.

"Well then let's go hit the town then" said Rachel.

"Yes, lets" said Brittany.

"Okay then" said Mikki, trying to get as enthused as her two friends were.

"Well have fun. Be careful and I will see you all later" said Blaine.

"Sure, see you later" said Mikki, trying to keep the innuendo out of her voice.

"Thanks for the rice" he said.

"No problem" replied Mikki.

Blaine nodded. "Bye girls" he said, and left the apartment.

"So what are we waiting for" said Rachel and the three of them left the apartment also, for their girls night out.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Rachel, Mikki and Brittany were sitting at a table in Marquee located in the Chelsea area of New York.

"This place is pretty cool" said Rachel, over the loud sound of the music being played by the DJ that was on for the night.

"Yeah, I've come here before with some girls from work" said Brittany, who had chosen the club that they were at.

"Give me a jazz club any day" said Mikki.

"Not your scene?" asked Rachel.

"Sure, but when I was a bit younger maybe" replied Mikki, as she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

She inwardly groaned to herself, thinking that it was possibly Blaine and that he had somehow managed to track down where she and the others had gone.

Turning around though she saw that it was Hunter, who she worked with.

"Hey stranger, facing seeing you here" said Hunter, with a smile.

Mikki laughed. "Hey yourself" she replied.

"So what brings you here?" asked Hunter.

"Girls night" replied Mikki, gesturing to Rachel and Brittany.

Hunter looked at them and nodded. "Hey".

"Hi" said Brittany.

"That's Brittany and Rachel" said Mikki, pointing each of them out and making the introductions.

"Yeah, Mik's mentioned you guys. Hey" he said.

"Yeah hey" replied Rachel.

"So guessing Seb is around somewhere as well" said Mikki, looking at Hunter.

Hunter shook his head. "He use to be my wingman, but ever since he and Sugar started a thing. He doesn't come along anymore".

"Wait, Sugar. As in the Sugar who works on the front reception. Her and Seb are a thing?" asked Mikki.

"Yeah, it's kind of on the downlow though, because you can just imagine Sue if she was to find out that two of her workers were seeing one another" said Hunter.

"Yeah, wow. Can't believe I never noticed that though" said Mikki.

"Really, you haven't noticed Seb always hanging around the front reception talking to Sugar and buying donuts and muffins and anything else sweet. It's definitely not been because he wants to impress you or me" said Hunter, with a laugh.

"Yeah, I have seen that. But I thought that was Seb being nice" said Mikki.

"Nice, because he and Sugar have a little something, something going on" said Hunter, with a laugh and Mikki laughed also.

"I am so going to tell him off tomorrow when I see him. How dare he not tell me, I thought we were friends" said Mikki.

"Yes, well would my friend like to dance?" asked Hunter looking at her.

Mikki shook her head. "Thanks but not my type of music" she replied.

"Oh come on, I'm sure you can shake your groove to this" said Hunter.

"Maybe later" said Mikki.

"I'll dance" said Rachel.

Hunter looked at her. "Yeah sure, Rachel isn't it" he said.

Rachel nodded. "Yeah" she replied.

"Okay cool, lets go then" said Hunter, and he and Rachel left to go to the packed dance floor, leaving Mikki and Brittany to talk amongst themself.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

The next morning, Mikki walked out of her bedroom, into the kitchen.
She had excused herself from the club a little earlier than Rachel and Brittany had left, stating that she wanted to get a good nights sleep because she knew that she had a lot of work that she was needing to be get done over the next couple of days, because of the mad mood that Sue was in, since what had happened in Canada, and inevitably seemed to be taking the blame out on her.

However she had indeed not gone straight back to her apartment, but instead gone over to Blaine's, so that they could have some together and do stuff, before she snuck back into her apartment a little later.

Upon walking into her kitchen though, she saw that a male figure with their back to her was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee.

"Umm, excuse me" said Mikki.

"Oh hey morning, Mikki" said Hunter, turning in the chair and looking at hey.

"Wow, hey Hunter" said Mikki, quite surprised to see her co worker in her apartment in the morning, after very obviously have stayed the night.

"Hope you don't mind me grabbing a cup of coffee, really don't feel human without that first morning cup" said Hunter.

"Umm no that's fine. I normally set the pot to make about six cups anyway" said Mikki, going over to it and grabbing a cup herself and then sitting at the table.

"Okay great thanks" replied Hunter with a smile.

Mikki looked at him. "So you're in my apartment early in the morning, because?" she asked.

"Really, isn't it obvious?" he asked.

"Well yes, but wow. You slept with Rachel last night" said Mikki.

"A gentleman does not kiss and tell" said Hunter.

Mikki laughed. "Okay but guessing the answer is a yes".

Hunter just looked at her and smiled.

"So you left rather early last night" said Hunter.

"Hmm, yeah I have a feeling like the last few days Sue is just going to throw lots of stuff at me to do, stuff that even the interns don't want to be doing" said Mikki.

"What's she making you do?" asked Hunter.

"Go over all the old marketing campaigns that are in the archives and scan them all in so that they are digitalized" replied Mikki.

"Wow, that's brutal" said Hunter.

Mikki nodded as Rachel came out of her room, and she saw Hunter and Mikki talking at the table.

"Okay, so this is awkward" said Rachel.

"Kind of yeah" replied Mikki, looking at her friend.

"So umm, I should probably get going. I have to go home and change. Didn't expect last night to happen obviously and these clothes aren't exactly work attire" said Hunter, standing up and referring to the jeans and black t shirt that he was wearing.

"No Sue would kill you. Well after she is done killing me that is" said Mikki.

Hunter laughed. "Yeah, I'll see you at work soon".

Mikki nodded and Hunter went over to Rachel.

"I had an amazing time with you last night" he said, wrapping her arms around her waist.

"Me too, with you" replied Rachel.

"Do it again?" asked Hunter.

Rachel nodded. "I work tonight, but I get off about eleven if you want to do something then" she replied.

"Sure, I can meet you at the theatre and we can go grab something to eat" said Hunter.

"Sounds great" replied Rachel.

Hunter nodded and kissed her. "See you then gorgeous" he said.

Rachel nodded and Hunter went to leave.

"Bye" said Rachel.

"Yeah bye" replied Hunter.

"Bye Hunt" said Mikki.

"Bye Mik" replied Hunter, with a laugh and left.

Rachel went over to the coffee pot and poured herself a cup and then went and got her soy milk out of the fridge.

"I cannot believe that you hooked up with one of my co workers" said Mikki, as Rachel poured her milk into the coffee.

"He's a nice guy. We actually have quite a bit in common" said Rachel, as she put the milk away and sat at the kitchen table.

"I know he's nice. I've worked with him for the last couple of years. See him practically everyday" replied Mikki.

Rachel nodded. "Are you okay with this? Me dating someone you work with?" she asked.

"Yeah, I mean it's not like I like him. And for the record I will say we have never dated or anything like that. We've always been just friends" said Mikki.

"Hunter already cleared that up" replied Rachel.

Mikki nodded. "Well as long as you're happy and okay with this. Then I am okay as well" she replied.

"Thanks, I think I deserve some fun and Hunter definitely seems like that type" she said.

"Yeah, well I should be getting ready for work as well. See what torture Sue has planned for me today" said Mikki.

"Sure, see you later" said Rachel

Mikki nodded and headed to the bathroom to get ready, and left Rachel to bask in the afterglow of a new relationship.

Friday afternoon, Puck had gotten back to New York from Hawaii earlier that day and he was now in his apartment, going through his bag and sorting out the stuff that he would need to be washing, when there was a knock at the door.

He went over to it and opened it and saw Santana on the other side with Jayden in her arms.

Jayden when he saw his father, immediately held his arms out to him. "Dadda" he said, fighting his way away from Santana so he could go to Puck.

"Go on you little monkey boy" said Santana, handing him over to Puck.

Jayden hugged Puck as soon as he took him, and Puck kissed his son. "Hey bud, you miss me?"

"He most certainly did, last weekend he was a nightmare. All he did all day Saturday was go around asking for 'dadda'" said Santana, as Puck let her come into the apartment.

"Aww, I'm sorry we didn't get to hang out buddy, but we'll do lots of awesome stuff this week" said Puck, looking at him as Santana closed the door to his apartment.

"Yeah, he's not going to let you out of his sight" said Santana with a laugh and sat down on the chair that Puck hadn't placed stuff on in the living room.

"Yeah, that's fine by me" replied Puck as he also sat down, and Jayden who saw the bag on the sofa, managed to climb out of his father's arms and started looking in the bag.

"Hey bud, I got stuff for you in my room, 'kay" said Puck, tapping his son on the back.

Jayden looked at him and then back to the bag and started to throw out the stuff that Puck had yet to take out of it.

Puck laughed as did Santana. "Like I said he has been a nightmare" said Santana.

"Hmm" replied Puck, with a nod.

"So you want to tell me what the heck happened in Canada" said Santana, obviously refraining from swearing in front of their son.

Puck looked at her.

"Mikki rang me and told me, if you're wondering how I know" said Santana.

"Right, umm. Well you know then everything" said Puck.

"What that's it. Seriously Puckerman, you say another woman's name at your wedding, and it like's right" said Santana.

"No of course not, it's just I don't know" said Puck.

"Messed up, is what it is" said Santana.

Puck looked at his ex wife.

"Look, I know from what Mikki said that you're apparently trying to make it work with this Marley chick. But the fact is you said Rachel at your wedding, and to me that kind of screams that you're still in love with her" said Santana.

"I love Marley though, not Rachel" said Puck.

"Okay yeah, I get that. But it's like me saying that I still in some ways don't love you" said Santana.

"Huh?" asked Puck, looking at her.

"Obviously it's not in the same way that I maybe once did, but I do love you. And I think therefore there are different types of love" said Santana.

"Okay" replied Puck as Jayden finished throwing all the clothes out of his bag and then proceeded to get into it himself.

Santana and Puck looked at their son and laughed.

"So anyway, I'm thinking that the love you have for Marley is kind of the same love that I have for you, a respect and knowledge that you are there for one another. But with Rachel, it's the kind of love that you know is the one that makes you want to rip each others clothes off whenever you can and never really be without them" said Santana.

"Guessing you and Dani is the second one" said Puck.

Santana nodded. "Now you know why we love the weekends you take Jay".

"Yeah, too much info, thanks" replied Puck.

Santana laughed. "Look, I just want to see you happy. And well if you want my honest opinion..."

Puck cut his ex wife off. "You'd give it to me even, if I didn't want to hear it".

"True" replied Santana, and Puck nodded.

"Go ahead, hit me with it" he said.

"Okay, I think Marley is using you and you're stupid for not seeing this" said Santana.

"Okay what?" asked Puck.

Santana looked at him. "What, what" she replied.

"Marley is not using me" said Puck.

"Right, because it won't be easier for her to work in America, if she is in fact a US citizen" said Santana.

"Okay that's not true" replied Puck.

"Hmm, well believe what you want to be believe Noah. I however am not a fan of hers, much like I believe is the same thoughts of your cousin and friends. And also I should add that I don't like her around that of my son" said Santana.

Puck looked at her. "You don't like her around Jay, why?" he asked.

"I don't believe that I should have to answer that, but whatever the reason I am entitled to have an opinion, and my opinion is of the 'I don't like her' variety" said Santana.

"So what any women I date now or in the future, has to have your approval" said Puck.

"Well in a way yes, because any woman you date is going to be around my son" said Santana.

"And like you ever gave me a chance to protest with Dani. Fair's fair, Tana" replied Puck.

"Hmm, whatever. I still think you are in a case of major denial here, and you will one day wake up and realise that Marley is in fact using you" said Santana.

Puck looked at her. "Aren't you wanting to spend time with you wife?"

"You're right I am" replied Santana looking at her watch.

Puck nodded.

"I will be back around four o'clock on Sunday to pick Jay up" said Santana, standing up and going over to her son, who was still in Puck's bag and completely enthralled by that.

"Give momma a kiss baby boy, and I'll see you Sunday 'kay" said Santana, looking at Jayden.

Jayden looked at her and Santana kissed him. "Talk some sense into your stupid dadda, okay".

"Dadda" replied Jayden, pointing to Puck.

"Yeah" replied Santana with a laugh.

"Don't get our son, to conspire against me" said Puck.

"Hmm well someone has to make you see sense" said Santana.

Puck laughed slightly and stood from where he was sitting.

"I'll see you Sunday, Tana" he said, as the two of them walked over to the door.

"You will" she replied.

Puck opened the front door of his apartment.

"Just do me a favor and think about what I said, okay" she said.

"Sure" replied Puck.

Santana nodded and gave him a quick hug. "Have a good weekend".

"You too" replied Puck and Santana left, leaving Puck then to wonder if what Santana had said to be true and what he also knew to be his friends and maybe even families opinion of Marley, sink in just that little bit more.


End Note:

I know, I know - many of you hate the idea of Rachel dating or even just being with someone else. But in her mind, if Puck is going to move on; then she also has to her.
And I think Hunter was such an underused character in the show,(and as I have mentioned previously don't picture him in the way he was styled in Glee, but more in the style that he was in the Nick movie, "Spectacular") that it's kind of interesting to put them with someone that people would never have thought.

As for the stuff between Mikki and Blaine, that stuff to write; just comes really easy for me, probably because I have been writing them as friends and also a couple now for so long.
I will advise though that under no circumstances do I go into explicit smut, I will often imply it; as I have in this chapter you just read, but there will be no full out scenes of that in any of my stories.

Next chapter, should be up soon. Just have to finish a few things on that one before I get it out!
So until then!
Love to you all (and huge hugs for getting me over 100 reviews!),
KJ xoxoxoxo.
(P.S - I posted another chapter of "Brother, Oh Brother" so please if you haven't read that one yet, check it out. Quite a different story for me, but one I also do like working on as well! xx)
