As Sam stood and looked out over the huge crowd of people eating, laughing, talking and enjoying themselves, he looked skyward and smiled, knowing his parents were watching over them enjoying the company picnic they had started many years ago. These people were not only his employees, but many were close friends and they were all family. Walking over to the stage that the workers had constructed he tapped on the microphone.

"Can I have everyone's attention please, I would like to thank everyone for coming out to join us in a tradition my parents started years ago, and one I plan to continue. My dad used to say that "we are all one big family," and today we are going to party like a family should. There's an open bar and food stations placed all around the grounds. We also have a car service to take anyone home that's had too much to drink,"

*there were cheers at that announcement*

Sam laughed, "Thank God I live here so I don't have to go far, so it's all good for me!" laughter could be heard throughout the crowd. "To kick this off I have a song I want to sing for you, Puck, Artie, Finn, could you guys come help me out?"

As the guys made their way to the stage, the hired musicians handed over their instruments and stood to the side. As the music began many began to clap as they recognized the song.

(House Rules by Christian Kane)

So you're tired and beat

And you've worked all week

And you need a place you can let it go.

Where the girls go wild

And the boys play hard

And you need a little more than just the radio.

Well here's your open invitation

With just a couple regulations.

Let me warn you son, only come to have fun

We don't take kindly to serious.

So leave your troubles at the door

Unless you want some in here.

Welcome to my house, buckle up tight

Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.

It's a country music, all little soul, it's a rock 'n roll rodeo.

We don't tolerate no sitting around

Everybody's dancin', groovin' and getting on down.

So before you come in here with some kind of attitude

You better read the house rules.

The guest started dancing around and having a good time.

Around eleven o'clock when the front door locks

And the boys start raising the bottle.

Where the girls do the thing with the Mardi Gras beads

You know they're gonna show 'em if they got 'em.

No matter what your story, a good time is mandatory.

Well rule number 7 says don't touch the women

But they can grab whatever they want to.

Cheers and whoops rang out over that last part, the ladies screamed louder.

Welcome to my house, buckle up tight

Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.

It's a country music, all little soul, it's a rock' n roll rodeo.

We don't tolerate no sitting around

Everybody's dancing,' groovin' and getting on down.

So before you come in here with some kind of attitude

You better read the house rules.

No such thing as last call.

We pick' em up when they fall .

We share the same bathroom stall,

Says the sign on the wall. (1, 2, 3)

Welcome to my house, buckle up tight

Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.

It's a country music, all little soul, it's a rock n roll rodeo.

We don't tolerate no sitting around

Everybody's dancin', groovin' and getting on down.

So before you come in here with some kind of attitude

Boy, before you come a walkin' in here with any kind of attitude

You better read the house rules.

You better read the house rules.

When the last notes died out cheers, and screams of approval could be heard from the crowd, Sam gestured for them to quiet down.

"Ok, so you guys now know the rules, eat, drink, and remember to leave your troubles at the door, enjoy!"

Amid slaps on the back and having beers thrust in their hands the guys made their way from the stage to mingle in the crowd. Sam looked around, today was going to be one hell of a day, raising his beer skyward, he winked and walked off to talk with more of his employees who had become his family.

Mike saw Tina walk out of the house with Santana and he smiled brightly. He always thought she was cute, and when he would come by to visit Sam he would sneak peeks at her. Today she looked incredible because she was not wearing her work clothes. She was in some cut-off jean shorts, blue and white tank top, and white wedge sandals.

Damn she is looking sexy today he thought. Today might be the day I ask her out.

She bent over to get some water out of the cooler;

Today is definitely the day I'm going to ask her out.

"Man what are you staring at?" Artie asked, "you about to burn a hole in whoever they are if you keep looking so hard." Artie followed his gaze to see him staring at Tina, "oh I see now, you got a thing for the lovely Tina."

Mike just smiled;

"So go talk to her and stop being a scared little bitch."

Mike punched Artie in the arm, "I'm not scared, I'm just waiting on the right moment to speak to her."

"Well if you take too long somebody else is going to slide in there and yo ass is going to left here all alone, and nobody to give your hand a break."

Mike thought about it, he agreed with Artie so he got up and headed over in Tina's direction.

He cleared his throat, "Hey Tina."

She turned to see Mike standing there looking as sexy as ever. Tina had always found Mike attractive, "H-Hey Mike." This man is so fine I could just eat him up…or let him eat me up.

"You look lovely today." Sexy as hell is more like it.

"Why thank you Mike, you look handsome yourself." Like walking sex.

"I was wondering if you would…" he got so nervous he couldn't find the words to say.

"Can you just spit it out Chang!" Santana said laughing and walking off.

"Don't mind her" Tina said, "SHE'S EVIL!" so Santana could hear.

"I wanted to know if you would like to go out with me sometimes?"

Tina wanted to jump, and scream her lungs out and in the inside she was doing just that, but she remained cool "I would love too."

Hell yeah! "Great maybe we can exchange information and we can set something up."

"I would love that" she said, "let me see your phone?"

They exchanged phones, and put their numbers in each other's phone.

"So I'll call you soon." he said smiling.

"I'll be waiting" she said.

"Oh and Tina."

"Yes Mike."

"Save me a dance." he gave her a wink.

She smiled, "I will do that." I am going to rock his world!

Walking around the grounds Brittney spotted Sam standing by one of the trees, looking down at her outfit she knew she looked hot. The short, shorts were showing her toned thighs perfectly, her sandals just high enough to accentuate the calves of her legs. The tight halter top was cut low enough to show her boobs just right and her taunt stomach, her make-up was flawless and her hair was up in a high pony that made her look sweet and innocent.

Looking at Sam she wondered why he hadn't called her. Well she was about to fix that little problem, there was no way she was going to let that walking bank account get away. Sam Evans could give her everything she wanted in life, and she wanted plenty. He had the money to make all her dreams come true. She just had to get him to ask her out.

Approaching Sam she smiled at him and looked up at him through her lashes,

"Hi Sam" she said softly.

Sam, looked down at Brittney and smiled as he returned her greeting. "Are you having a good time" he asked.

She sighed and let a slightly sad look cross her face as she looked away from him. Concerned Sam placed a hand on her shoulder and asked her what was wrong.

"It's just...well" biting her lip and looking at him she blushed slightly, damn good she had learned to blush as well as cry on command she congratulated herself. "I thought we had made a connection when I gave you my number a month ago but you never called. Oh my God, I didn't mean to sound so forward, but I really like you!"

She could feel the blush deepen and she smirked internally as Sam fell all over himself explaining that with the planning of the picnic and his other duties he hadn't had a free moment. Placing a hand on his arm she gently squeezed it and assured him it was ok. Smiling softly at him, she took a few steps away and turned back, still maintaining the slightly sad look,

"I'm sorry it seems I misread the situation, please forgive me for putting you on the spot."

Sam looked at the young woman in front of him, she wanted to spend time with him because she liked him, and he didn't have to chase her. Thinking of Mercedes and how she was still avoiding him like the plague unless it involved Stevie or Stacy, why shouldn't he spend time with a woman who wanted him.

"Brittney, no, you didn't read the situation wrong. Would you like to go out to dinner Saturday night?" Brittney laughed inside, it was like taking candy from a baby.

Smiling shyly at Sam, " I would love to go to dinner with you. Let me give you my number and you can call me so we can set up a time."

Sam felt his cheeks redden, "I still have your number, and I will call you by Monday to set a time and place."

Brittney reached over and gently stroked his hand as she smiled up at him. "That sounds wonderful Sam, I will be waiting to hear from you." Turning she walked away with more of a sway to her hips knowing that his eyes were on her.

Watching her walk away Sam, smiled to himself, it was time to move on, Mercedes wasn't interested. Why keep chasing someone who didn't want him, here was a beautiful, young woman who clearly wanted him. Shrugging his shoulders, it seemed like a win-win situation to him.

As Brittney walked away, she couldn't keep the satisfied smirk off her face. It seemed like it was game on with Sam Evans, and the first round went to her. She could already hear the ching, ching! She knew what she wanted, and Sam Evan's bank account was going to give it to her.

Unbeknownst to both of them their private conversation was not so private.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mercedes was shaking and pacing back and forth in the kitchen. Her mind was racing and so was her heart. How could he ask her out? How could he flirt with me? He acts like he likes me and then asks her out? Damn that man!

"Cedes you ok?" Blaine asked coming in behind her.

Mercedes jumped. "Blaine I didn't hear you come in."

"I didn't mean to scare you" he said, "I saw you storm in here and I followed you. So are you ok?"

"I'm fine." she lied.

"You're lying" he said bluntly, "now tell me what's wrong."

Mercedes took a deep breath, "I heard Sam asking that blonde girl out."

"What blonde girl?"

"The tall skinny skank with the short shorts and tight shirt."

"Oh you mean Brittney" he said, and then he thought about it, "wait Sam asked Brittney out?" When the hell did that happen?

"Brittney psssh that would be her name" she said rolling her eyes, "skinny heffa" she mumbled.

"So I'm confused you're mad because…."

"He asked HER out Blaine. He flirts with me every chance he gets, and he asks her out. I wonder if he flirts with her like he does with me. He must, because that's the only thing that makes sense to me" she stopped pacing, "I'm so stupid for thinking that he reserved those comments, and that smile for me." She could not hold back the tears anymore.

Blaine came over and gave her a hug, "Mercedes first of all you're not stupid. Secondly, you were the one who said that your relationship with Sam would be strictly professional."

"I know but-"

"You were the one who backed off from his advances."

"I know but-"

"He can't be expected to wait around for you forever."

"I know but-"

"No buts Cedes" he said sitting her down, "if you wanted him you could've made your intentions known, but you were not sure what you wanted, and you basically pushed him away."

Mercedes was about to speak but Blaine raised his hand and stopped her.

"You let him know you weren't interested, and he got the message, so you can't get upset when he moves on."

She dropped her head and nodded, "You're right B, I have no right to be angry. If he wants to date…her then so be it. My focus should be on the children anyway, not their brother."

"Exactly" he said, "and I know it is a few guys out there would love a shot to be in the presence of Miss Mercedes "Diva" Jones."

"Then why don't we go make someone's day." she said, getting up fixing her face.

"That's what I'm talking about" he said grabbing her hand leading her out the door.

Just not the guy I wanted.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Did you hear that?" Stacy asked frantically.

"Yeah I heard." Stevie said calmly.

"I can't believe Sammy asked out that girl" she said, scrunching up her face, "she's gross."

Stevie nodded his head.

"How could he not ask out Mercedes, it's obvious he likes her" she said, "the way he looks at her, talks to her, and make sure she's everywhere he is."

"Yup" Stevie said.

"And Mercedes likes him too." she said.

"She does." he said, nodding his head in agreement.

"I don't want Sammy to like that Brittney girl Stevie, she is not the right girl for him, I can just feel it."

Stevie didn't say a word; he just looked out the window at Sam, then to Brittney, then to Mercedes.

"Stevie" Stacy said with a menacing tone.

"Yes Stacy?" matching her tone.

"We got some work to do." she smirked.

"She won't last a month." he smiled.

They gave each other a fist bump, and went to the TV room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sugar could not believe her ears! Sam Evans had just asked out Brittney Pierce! Sending out a text to all her fellow PA's she told them to meet her over by the pond, pronto. Ryder, Unique, Rory, Marley, and Rachel all hurried over to see what had Sugar so upset.

Looking at them Sugar couldn't hold it in, "Sam just asked Brittney out to dinner next week!"

Every last one of them looked at her like she was crazy.

"What the hell Sugar, did you take your meds today? Cause you talking shit!"

"What the fuck?"

"That gold digging bitch, is he crazy?"

"My boss, Sam?"

"That bitch thought her shit didn't stink before, now she's going to be even more insufferable!"

"So that's why she's wearing those shorts, so short and tight they about to cut her cootchie in half!"

"Let's not even talk about that top, we all know she ain't got boobs like that so what did she stuff in her bra? Cutlets?"

Sugar just shook her head, "Guys, I HEARD HIM ASK GOLD DIGGER BRITT OUT!"

They all looked at each other, and then everyone turned to look at Rachel;

"Boo, your life just went to hell in a hand-basket, that trifling heffa is going to be all in your space, and flaunting the fact that she is dating your boss." Unique said.

The rest of them made sounds of agreement. Rachel gave a very unladylike snort as she looked around for Sam, seeing him she just groaned. The rest followed her eyes and looked at Sam; they all had the same thought in their minds. This was a cluster-fuck of a magnitude they had never thought of!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sam didn't know how he felt about asking Brittney out, it was more of a spur of a moment thing, she looked so hurt. He didn't really know much about her other than that she was Quinn's PA; she was always sweet and nice when he saw her around the building. She didn't seem to have many friends, he figured that was because she was so shy, at least she seemed that way to him whenever he talked to her. He had to admit he was surprised when she had given him her number, but he just chalked that up to her finally getting her nerves up to let him know she liked him. Seeing Mike, Puck, and Artie he walked over to tell them he had a date.

"What's up with you all standing around? Why aren't you out hitting on all the lovely ladies I see here?" he asked.

"Just enjoying the view dude" Puck said.

"Not really feeling too many of them." Artie added.

"Already made my move, asked Tina out." Mike preened as they congratulated him.

"What about you man?" Puck asked.

Sam smirked, "I just made a date for dinner next week with Brittney."

His announcement was met with silence for a moment then they all congratulated him, and wished him well on his date. Sam thanked them, and was about to say more when he heard his name called, looking around, seeing one of the other department heads calling him, he excused himself, and headed to the group.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As Sam walked away they all looked at each other.

"Well Puck, I guess you were right, but seeing as he hadn't made a move I really thought it was just a fluke." Rubbing his chin, Puck looked at Sam, and sighed, "She's going to eat him alive; he just got a date with a shark."

Mike and Artie both looked at him in shock.

"What are you talking about?" Mike asked.

"What the hell?" Artie said.

Puck looked at them, "Dudes, she's a gold digger, that sweet, innocent look she fronts with, it's just that a front. She is after money and Sam's got money. When she first got here she tried to hit on me but I shut that shit down, I've seen too many women like her."

"So we're going to sit here, and not say shit? Oh hell to the no!" Artie was pissed.

"There's nothing we can say, if we tell Sam about her without proof he's still going to give her a chance." Puck replied.

"But we are his bros and he has to know we wouldn't lie to him." Artie argued.

"Like you believed us when we tried to tell you about Kitty, remember that shit storm two years ago?' Mike said.

Artie could only drop his head, it was true, he hadn't believed anything they said, and Kitty had played him for a fool. Looking at their friend, they all knew they had to let this play out, to be there for him when it all blew up. Sam would catch on, but they could only hope his heart wasn't broken when he found out that Brittney only wanted his money, and not him. Mike looked back over at Sam, Brittney was talking to him but Sam wasn't really looking at her, following his gaze he saw that Sam had his eyes on Mercedes. Maybe we don't have as much to worry about as we thought.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Seeing Sam in conversation with Brittney Quinn thought about what she had just heard whispered, Sam had asked Brittney out, hoping it wasn't true she decided to ask for herself. She knew he had feelings for Mercedes, and she for him. Something had happened since that day they had talked, she didn't know what but whatever happened had spurred Sam into asking Brittney out. Walking over to them Quinn flashed a smile and asked Sam if she could talk to him. Excusing himself, he guided Quinn over to a bench, sitting down he waited for her to begin. Searching his face Quinn was wondering how to broach the subject, deciding to just dive in, "Sam, is it true you asked Brittney out? If so what kind of game are you fucking playing?"

Sam pulled back in surprise, "Wait, just hold on, how you know I asked Brittney out, and I'm not playing any damn thing!"

"You like Mercedes and you are asking another woman out? You've been hot after Mercedes for the longest, and now you are asking Brittney out on a date? What else would you call it? Are you trying to make Mercedes jealous?" Quinn was firing questions at him the way she would a witness on the stand, hard and fast.

By now Sam was starting to get upset, "Yes, I asked Brittney out, not that it's any of your business, as for Mercedes, she has made it clear that she isn't interested in me."

"Bullshit" Quinn snorted, "You're so used to women falling into your bed, that when you meet one who won't drop her panties just because you smile at her, you get your ass on your shoulders. You are making a mistake, cuz. You have real gold in front of you, yet you're going after fool's gold. Have you ever thought that your usual approach with woman isn't the way to win Mercedes over?"

"Quinn, I love you, but I know what I'm doing, trust me." getting up Sam walked away.

Watching him walk away she thought;

They say God protects fools and children; well we are so about to see that saying tested!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Blaine was at the buffet table getting him something to eat when he felt someone standing behind him. He turned around to see Kurt standing there.

"Hello Blaine Anderson" Kurt said smiling. Wow he's so gorgeous.

"Hello Kurt- I'm sorry I don't know your last name."

"It's Hummel" he said.

"Oh ok Kurt Hummel." he said, resuming making his plate.

"So are you having a good time?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah so far so good." he smiled.

That smile is amazing "These picnics are usually the social event of the summer."

"I can see why." Blaine said, still putting food on his plate "they go all out."

"Yes they do" Kurt smiled.

It was an awkward pause between them;

"Well I'm going to find Mercedes" Blaine said, turning to walk away, "it was nice talking to you Kurt."

"Yeah you too Blaine." Kurt said. Damn I got to get up the nerve to ask this man out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey Cedes!" Blaine said, running towards her, "you feeling better?"

"Yeah Blaine I'm fine." she said.

"What's the matter mama?" Santana said.

"Did somebody piss you off?" Tina said.

"Who's ass do I have to kick?" Santana stated.

"I'm fine guys" she said smiling, "I promise. I just had a moment but I'm good now" looking at Blaine.

Artie walked up to the group with his eye directly on Mercedes "Hello everyone."

"Hey Artie" Blaine said, "how you doing man?"

"I'll be doing much better if I had the pleasure of being properly introduced to this beautiful chocolate goddess."

Mercedes smiled and blushed, "Hi I'm Mercedes, and you are?"

"The man of your dreams baby."

"Really now?" she inquired, "Does the man of my dreams have a name?"

"Arthur Abrams but everybody calls me Artie," he said, giving her a wink, "and you baby can call me yours."

"You are a mess."

"So Cedes, why don't you grace us with that phenomenal voice of yours?" Blaine asked.

"Wait this beautiful Nubian Queen can sing?" Artie asked.

"Can she sing?" Blaine stated "She has the voice of an angel."

"Blaine stop" she said, patting him on the shoulder, "I do ok."

"Cedes you do way better than ok."

"Let us be the judge of that." Santana said.

"I'll sing if you guys help me." she said, looking at Tina, and Santana.

"We got your back." Santana said, grabbing her hand and leading her to the stage with Tina right behind them.

"Oh I'm getting a front row seat for this one." Artie said.

"Me too" Blaine said heading towards the stage.

Santana grabbed the microphone, and got everyone's attention.

"Hey everyone me, and my girls are going to grace you with a song to liven this party up some."

The crowd cheered, and clapped; Sam saw Mercedes on stage, and quickly made his way to the stage, walking away from the group of executives he was currently talking to.

"So we about to get it hot up in here," she said "hit it band."

(Don't Cha by The Pussycat Dolls)

Artie jumped on stage to do the rap which shocked the girls.

[Artie] (Mercedes)

OK (ahh)

Yeah (ahh)

Oh, we about to get it just a lil hot and sweaty in this (oh, baby)

Ladies let's go (uhh)

Soldiers let's go (dolls)

Let me talk to y'all and just you know

Give you a little situation... listen (fellas)

Ya see this shit get hot

Every time I come through when I step up in the spot (are you ready)

Make the place sizzle like a summertime cookout

Prowl for the best chick

Yes I'm on the lookout (let's dance)

Slow banging shorty like a belly dancer with it

Smell good, pretty skin, so gangsta with it (oh, baby)

No tricks only diamonds under my sleeve

Gimme the number

But make sure you call before you leave

Mercedes saw Sam walk towards the stage, and she locked eyes with him so he knew she was singing this part just for him.

[Mercedes] (Santana & Tina)

I know you like me (I know you like me)

I know you do (I know you do)

That's why whenever I come around

She's all over you (she's all over you)

I know you want it (I know you want it)

It's easy to see (it's easy to see)

And in the back of your mind

I know you should be on with me (babe)

All the girls did the booty pop to the beat, and the crowd cheered in appreciation.

[Chorus:]

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?

Don't cha?

Don't cha?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?

Don't cha?

Don't cha?

Shit! Sam thought she is so DAMN sexy, why does she keep pushing me away?

[Mercedes] (Santana & Tina)

Fight the feeling (fight the feeling)

Leave it alone (leave it alone)

'Cause if it ain't love

It just ain't enough to leave my happy home (my happy home)

Let's keep it friendly (let's keep it friendly)

You have to play fair (you have to play fair)

See I don't care

But I know she ain't gonna wanna share

[Chorus:]

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?

Don't cha?

Don't cha?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?

Don't cha?

Don't cha?

Mercedes started dancing seductively on Artie

[Artie]

OK, I see how it's goin' down (ahh, don't cha)

Seems like shorty wanna little ménage pop off or something (let's go)

Well let me get straight to it

Every broad wan watch I when I come through it

If shorty wanna jump in my ass then vanquish

Looking at me all like she really wanna do it

Tryna put it on me till my balls black and blueish

Ya wanna play wit ah playa girl then play on

Strip out the Chanel

And leave the lingerie on

Watch me and I'ma watch you at the same time

Looking at ya wan break my back

You're the very reason why I keep a pack ah the Magnum

A wit the wagon hit chu in the back of the magnum

For the record, don't think it was something you did

Shorty all on me cause it's hard to resist the kid

I got an idea that's dope for y'all

As y'all could get so I could hit the both of y'all

[Mercedes] (Santana & Tina)

I know she loves you (I know she loves you)

I understand (I understand)

I'd probably be just as crazy about you

If you were my own man

Maybe next lifetime (maybe next lifetime)

Possibly (possibly)

Until then old friend

Your secret is safe with me

She held her finger up to her lips, and slid it down her neck, and down her breast, looking directly at Sam.

[Chorus:]

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?

Don't cha?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?

Don't cha?

Don't cha?

The crowd cheered loudly for the performance, people quickly approached the stage to tell them how good they were. Mercedes saw Sam staring at her, she smirked and rolled her eyes.

Unique quickly ran to Mercedes, "Girl I have found my new idol!" she squealed grabbing Mercedes hand, "Unique worships the ground you walk on, and wants to be just like you when I grow up, mama you were fabulous."

Mercedes smiled, "You are too much, but thank you."

"Oh no thank you" she said, "does this angel have a name?"

"I'm Mercedes Jones."

"I am simply Unique" she said, waving her hand in the air.

"Well it's nice to meet you Unique."

Artie came up from behind Mercedes, and scooped her up into a hug, "you were brilliant up there."

"You were not too bad yourself."

Sam watching the exchange between Artie, and Mercedes was not happy about it all. He gripped his beer bottle so tight his knuckles turned white. Puck and Mike noticed how agitated he was getting, and were not going to let this moment pass.

"What's the matter bro?" Puck said smiling.

"I'm fine." he spat out.

"You're looking a little angry." Mike said.

"I said I'm fine." he repeated taking a swig of beer.

"Looks like Artie found someone he's interested in after all" Puck said, "and she is hella sexy, I wish I saw her first."

"Wait, isn't that your nanny Sam?" Mike said.

"Damn Sam you got that sexy ass woman walking around your house every day, and you going out with Brittney?" Puck said laughing.

Sam turned, and glared at Puck;

"Oh wait, I think they are exchanging numbers" Mike chimed in.

Sam looked to see Mercedes and Artie exchanging phones and his cheeks grew extremely hot. How could she be interested in Artie? She pushes me away every chance she gets, but one song, and she is all over Artie? Damn at woman!

Puck and Mike exchanged knowing looks as they watched Sam walk away;

"He so wants her." Puck said.

"Definitely" Mike said, "he better figure his shit out before Artie really tries to get with her."

"What do you mean really?" Puck asked.

"Let's just say Artie and I needed to see for ourselves what Sam's real feelings were and he just showed them."

"I'm so glad that I'm friends with such geniuses" Puck said giving Mike a fist pump.

A/N: WE KNOW YOU PROBABLY HATE US RIGHT NOW! WE PROMISE IT WILL BE MADE RIGHT! So please tell what did you think?

BTW PLEASE REVIEW!
