As soon as she got home, Rachel went to her father.
"How was school today princess?" He asked her.
"Good. On Saturday next week we're having a Sadie Hawkins dance."
"Who did you ask to go with you?" he asked her curiously.
"Nobody yet…"
"But…" He guessed she wanted to say more.
"I was wandering if you'd mind me asking Noah to come here for the week-end so I could have him as my date at the dance…"
"Noah? Why don't you ask someone here?" Damon asked.
"Because boys here are not interesting, taken or playing in a team with Tyler. His team mates won't agree to go with me out of loyalty to him and I need someone to show him that I can get someone better than him if I want to. I need to prove him that he's not the center of the world." She replied.
"Okay then, invite him here. But what if he can't come?" Damon wondered.
"Then I'll borrow Finn, Matt or Mike…as a very last resort I can contact Jesse… he's been leaving constant messages on my Facebook wall for months… I haven't replied but I'm sure he'll rush here if I ask him to." Rachel said like she was speaking of a pair of shoes, making her father chuckle.
"Very well then, but before you call him will you call your aunt Sage? Apparently you haven't called her in a couple of days…" Damon said.
"Sure, I have tones of things to tell her anyway." Rachel replied before she kissed her father on the cheek and ran up to her room.
Damon sighted. His baby was growing up and soon, she would get married and leave him… Sometimes he wished he could bring her back to when she was a toddler and keep her a baby forever.
.
While Rachel was on the phone with Sage, telling her everything that happened lately in Mystic Fall's, Stefan was with his brother downstairs.
"So, how was your date with the lovely sheriff?" Stefan asked Damon.
"Not too bad actually… We had fun, it was nice…" He replied.
"But…?" Stefan asked.
"I feel bad lying to her. I know it could go much further between us and become serious or we could stay good friends like we are now. Now is the moment to decide on this. But I don't know what to do. I can't be with her without telling her the truth about me but…"
"But you wish you could tell you, find out her reaction and be able to make her forget it if she reacts badly." Stefan guessed.
"Exactly." The elder brother nodded.
"On other words I talked with Lexi last night… She told me that she agrees with what you're doing right now with helping me get control. She's considering visiting again soon."
"Oh…Okay."
"You've been alone for a while Damon… You need some closure too." Stefan told him seriously.
"The last woman I touched was Shelby, Rachel's mother… I didn't want to bring unimportant women in her life and again today I don't see myself going back to the sorority girl one night stand kind of thing." Damon explained.
"Then find yourself someone to love. I'm not saying jump on Sheriff Forbes because she's asking you out and likes you… You need to take your time, get to know the one you're interested in and make sure she's the right one." Stefan explained.
"You might be right… But I have time… I don't want any feminine distractions until Rachel graduates." Damon nodded.
.
Rachel had just hung up with Sage and decided to dial Puck's cell phone number.
"Salvatore, it's been a while since you called me… How is it going in Vigina?" Puck said as soon as he answered the phone.
"It's Virginia Noah, and everything is going well."
"Right, Virginia...The perfect land for the Virgins." Noah chuckled.
"I see your mind is still on the same track then." Rachel replied with a chuckle.
"So, why are you calling then?"
"Can't an old friend call to get news once in a while?" Rachel asked in a fake offended tone.
"Okay then, sorry. Everything is fine here in Lima." He replied.
"I actually called to ask if you would do me a favour…"
"Ha! I knew it!" he shouted in victory.
Rachel chuckled.
"What are you doing next week-end?" She asked him, laughter still fresh in her voice.
"I dunno… There might be some lame-ass party I'll go to. Why?"
"Well, remember how I told you my boyfriend, who's now my ex, cheated on me with at least two different girls and I broke up with him?"
"You need me to come and beat him up?" Noah asked her.
"No, daddy or uncle Stefan can take care of that… There is a Sadie Hawkins dance next Saturday and I was wondering if you'd do the trip to be my date. You're much hotter than him and I know he expects me to ask him because his team mates won't agree to go with me out of support to him."
"All I got out of that is that you think I'm hotter than him." Puck said proudly.
"Anyway, would you come for a visit and go to this dance with me?" She asked him.
"I have to check if I have the money to make the trip…" He replied thoughtfully.
"Daddy would pay your way over here." She said.
"Then I'll be happy to come for the week-end and go to this dance with you. I'll need to bring some sort of tux right?" he asked.
"Don't worry about it, daddy has a lot of different ones here, you'll get your choice." She replied.
"Good then. See you then Rachel." Puck replied before he hung up and she sighted.
She was glad he had agreed to help her. Puck was slightly taller than Tyler and he definitely had more muscles. He was much hotter than Tyler and would make the boy sick with jealousy. Plus, he looked good on her arm.
"So, did your friend Puck agreed to go with you?" Stefan asked her as he stood in her doorway.
"Daddy told you?"
Stefan nodded.
"Yes, he's coming." She replied.
"You like him." Stefan realised.
"Not this way… Noah is just a friend. We tried the dating thing but it just didn't work out… But we do look great together and I just know that Tyler's male hormones are going to go wild with jealousy when he'll see Noah with me." Rachel concluded, making Stefan chuckled as he nodded and left the room.
