Long time no see everyone. I hope there are still people out there wanting to read this story and I apologise profusely for taking so long to update. I got caught up in a new job as well as studying then spent way too much time tinkering with new story ideas. But enough about me. This new chapter is the long awaited arrival of Finn and the guys debut album. How will it go? Only reading on will reveal the answer. On a quick side note, everyone knows all the stuff going on with a certain former Glee cast member. I flirted with the idea of removing Puck from my story, but that would have taken a humongous rewrite. So I hope it doesn't deter anyone from reading this story as I've decided to leave him in, cause I'm hoping people read the story and see the character not the actor who played him. All the legal stuff belongs to Ryan Murphy & FOX except my characters. So please read, review, rewind, then read and review again…enjoy!
BAM! Finn's video game character died for the thirtieth time that morning, causing Finn to curse under his breath and throw the controller angrily onto the coffee table. "Yo, Hudson easy on the merchandise man!" yelled Puck as he wiped away imaginary marks off his coffee table and inspected his controller for any damage before tossing it to Sam, before starting up another game.
"Whatever!" Finn mumbled to no one in particular.
Puck pressed pause on the game ignoring Sam's shout of protest before turning to Finn and asking. "Alright I'll bite, what's causing you to pout harder than some two-bit actor auditioning for the next boring teen drama?"
"It's just…" Finn started explaining but trailed off as he frustratingly ran his hand through his already unruly hair. "Today's the day when the world finally hears all our hard work and what if you know…they don't like it."
Now it was Puck's turn to throw his controller down on the coffee table ignoring once again Sam's groan of protest and turning to Finn. "Is that what this is? You've got your panties all up in a bunch on the off chance that people don't like our album…" Puck watched his best friend meekly nod his head before continuing, "Well, all I can say is your right to be worried Finn."
"Oh geez! Thanks for the pep talk Puck" chuckled Finn humorlessly.
Sam leaned over to Blaine and whispered, "If I'm ever on Who Wants to be a Millionaire and I'm about to phone a friend, remind me to never ring Puck." To which Blaine simply nodded before turning their attention back to Puck and Finn.
"If you had let me finish, I was going to say the reality is you're never going to please everybody. Your doomed from the start if that was your goal. The point is we made the music we wanted to, and had a hell of a time doing it…am I right!" Blaine, Sam, Finn, Ryder all nodded and shouted in agreement, before Puck continued. "Then if people like it…that's just the icing on top of the cake! Cause how many other guys from Lima, Ohio can say they were good enough to go to fucking New York City and record a fucking album! So I say if they like it…brilliant…if not…Fuck them!"
Finn started to perk up and vigorously responded by shouting, "You know what I think your right. Who cares if people don't like the album! If they don't like it, they can get fucked because I didn't make it for them anyway!"
"Hell yeah! That's the spirit bro!" Puck enthusiastically agreed, before noticing his best friend's demeanor once again plummeting. "Holy Moses Finn! That's got to be like a new freaking record for you. You were happy for at least ten seconds before you let the doubt back in your head, dude!"
"No, man it's not that! It's just now I feel like a real idiot for being in such a funk that I couldn't even enjoy the benefits of being in a relationship with Rachel" answered Finn groaning.
Sam, Blaine and Ryder all looked at each other confused, wondering what the hell Finn was talking about, before looking at Puck who was sniggering to himself. "Please Finn, Berry and you are joined at the hip so much, you could almost apply for conjoined twin status." Quipped Puck. "So I wouldn't worry about Berry thinking you don't appreciate her."
"This morning I was so up in my head and worried that I couldn't even enjoy a…." started Finn but stopped when he realized he might be revealing a little too much about his and Rachel's love life.
"You're seriously stopping there! Geez man I thought we were bro's; cradle to the grave remember asshole!" snipped Puck while throwing a cushion at his best friend's head.
"What the hell are you two talking about?" asked a still confused Sam as he reached across and grabbed another handful of chips from the bowl on the coffee table.
"Seriously guys!" yelled Puck as he watched his three other friends all nodding their heads as they were trying to figure out what was going on. "My God! My deepest and sincerest apologies gentleman; I forgot I was talking to the frigid three, who are still waiting for their Ice Princess's to thaw out!" continued Puck as he got up off the couch before continuing. "SEX! Getting freaky…filling the taco! Do I need to go on?" questioned Puck as he continued to act out each saying in a very, very detailed manner.
Sam leaned over to Blaine and whispered, "Something tells me Puck's apology wasn't very sincere." Blaine just turned and looked at his friend, giving him a look to say, "You think!" before shouting at Puck in retaliation, "Hey, Kurt and I get it on all the time!"
"Yeah! Mercedes and I can get pretty fiery when we want to! Sometimes when we get going I can really understand the saying, 'Death by Chocolate'". Sam shouted above the others before Ryder mumbled under his breath in the background, "Marley and I held hands for a full five minutes the other day," then everyone fell absolutely silent and stared at a shocked Ryder, with bewildered expressions on their faces.
"What! It was pretty hot and it was in public too!" added Ryder as if that explained everything.
"Okay first of all there's no way in hell I'm touching what he just said…" stated Puck as he pointed at Ryder. "Secondly I don't care about the love lives of you two…" continued Puck as he waved his finger between Blaine and Sam, "And thirdly I tell you everything about my sex life…"
"Even when I don't want to hear it…" Finn purposely mumbled just loud enough for everyone, especially Puck to hear, causing snickers from Blaine, Ryder and Sam.
Puck just kept going on with his spiel totally ignoring the interruption from Finn, "Anyway, like I said I tell you everything…why? Because you're my bro man, and that's just what bro's do, they tell each other everything. Like earlier today I was also feeling a bit nervous about the impending release of our album."
"Really. How did you get over it?" asked a surprised Finn.
"The only way a sex-shark like me knows how; by engaging in some absolutely hot and steamy, mind-blowing sex with my girl Quinn." Bragged Puck. "It was on that very couch too…" added Puck as he pointed to the couch Finn was currently sitting on. "Oh, and just a heads up, after we were done getting freaky I couldn't find some of our hastily discarded clothes. So if you find anything stuffed between the cushions just let me know."
Finn had never moved so fast in his life as he did leaping from the Puck and Quinn sex riddled couch. "Ewww dude! Why didn't you tell me I was sitting where your sweaty ass had been?"
"See, bad things happen when bros don't tell their bros everything!" stated a smug Puck. "You know what on second thought maybe it wasn't that couch…I think it was actually the other one!" thought Puck out loud as he now pointed to the opposite couch where Blaine, Sam and Ryder were sitting.
"FUCK…PUCK!" screamed the three boys in unison and disgust, as they too fled the possibly infected piece of furniture. "I hate you Puckerman! You know I nap on that couch!" shouted Sam.
"Easy…easy, boys I was just kidding, okay!" Puck tried to reassure his friends, "It was actually the kitchen table".
"Damn Puck you know there are such things as bedrooms." Quipped Blaine as everyone once again sat down.
"The ultimate, unfiltered raw sex power of an apex sex-shark like the Puckmeister can't be contained to the confines of a mere bedroom, Blaine Anderson! Just like my namesake the shark dies if it stops swimming; it's the same for a sex-shark, if I only fuck in a bedroom my orgasmic powers start to diminish!"
"Geez Puck! When you say crap like that it makes me wonder what a girl like Quinn see's in you!" retorted Blaine.
"You mean apart from this?" Puck crudely quipped back as he grabbed his crotch and shook it up and down in front of Blaine.
Blaine shot up from the couch and charged at Puck screaming, "I'm going to fucking kill you Puckerman!" but at the last minute was held back by Sam and Finn.
"Easy guys! We're all friends here remember!" Finn tried to negotiate a truce between the two boys. But while Puck and Blaine were settling down, Finn looked over and saw Ryder wiping his hands with a weird piece of cloth. "Ryder?"
"Yeah?" Ryder responded as he looked up from the couch still clutching the strange piece of fabric.
"What the hell is that?" asked Finn as he pointed to what Ryder was holding, which also caught the attention of the rest of the guys in the room.
"Oh, this it's a napkin isn't it?" asked Ryder before continuing, "Puck you have some extremely weird napkins for a dude."
Puck got a really weird smirk on his face before answering, "Ryder, that's not a napkin you're holding."
"Really! Well what is it then?"
"My missing underwear!" stated Puck, "Thanks for finding them for me bro, I've been looking for those for ages." Finished Puck as he grabbed his underwear off Ryder who was basically comatose in shock at the prospect he had been holding the underwear of one Noah Puckerman.
Puck lifted his undies up and gave the garments a huge sniff before declaring, "These smell fresh enough for another wear; I guess I can hold off on doing my laundry for another day."
Finn, Blaine and Sam all looked like they were going to be sick as they watched as Puck continued to inspect his underwear. Before Blaine ran from the room shouting, "I THINK I'M GOING TO BE SICK!" and Finn going over to check on Ryder who was still shocked and stunned to silence and hadn't moved a muscle since finding Pucks undies.
"Hey Ryder you okay du…." Started Finn before being interrupted by the loudest blood-curdling scream he had ever heard erupted from Ryder's mouth. It was so loud it shook all the walls and windows of the spacious apartment. Ryder then sprang off the couch like a gazelle escaping the clutches of an attacking lion. Proceeding to sprint around in circles around the apartment, shaking his hands ferociously at the wrists, and shouting, "EWWW…EWWW!"
Ryder ran to the sink and turned the hot water onto full and pulled out the soap and started trying to wash his hands. Not having much luck with the hot water and soap Ryder lunged for a bottle of hand sanitizer sitting on the bench. He emptied pretty much the entire bottle into the palm of his hands and once again started to vigorously scrub his hands. Still not liking the result the hand sanitizer was giving him; Ryder went for the next solution and ran into the laundry in search of any chemicals.
After a few moments the other guys heard Ryder's frustrated shout from inside the laundry. "ARGH! IT'S NOT BLOODY WORKING!" before he once again came flying out and back into the kitchen. He flung open the utensil draw and pulled out the largest kitchen knife Puck had. Before placing his hand down on the cutting board and raising the knife in his shaking hand and exclaiming, "I don't need two hands to play the bass!"
Finn went running over and snatched the kitchen knife out of Ryder's hands replying, "Sorry bro, but you kinda do need two hands to play your base."
Finn threw the knife into the sink as he watched Ryder break down in the kitchen crying, "It just wont come off, Finn! I can still smell him!" screamed Ryder as he pointed venomously at Puck.
"That's the famous natural Puckerman body odor for you. Once it get's it claws on something it never let's go. Like they say, once you smell Puck you can never go back!" Puck explained enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, I'm sure if you just go home with Blaine and Sam, Blaine might know of some weird skin cream thingy that would be able to help you out" soothed Finn totally ignoring the idiosyncrasies of his friend. "And if not there's always Kurt, he's had years of experience getting rid of weird smells."
Finn's possible solution seemed to settle Ryder down enough for Blaine and Sam to grab all their stuff and usher him out of the apartment. Finn closed the door behind them with the voice of Ryder asking Blaine how much a complete skin graph of his hands would cost, floated down the hallway as they exited the building. After closing the door Finn turned around to witness Puck once again sniffing his underwear. "Really, Puck…leopard print? Isn't that a bit on the nose even for you?"
Puck just flopped back down on the couch and started up another game on his PlayStation, shrugging, "What? Even though I'm a sex-shark, I still got to represent my brethren from the jungle!" Without turning his head away from the TV Puck threw the other controller towards Finn. "So are we going to sit here and debate the latest fashion trends in men's underwear or are we going to spend our morning killing a whole shitload of virtual soldiers in Call of Duty?"
Finn just shrugged and thought to himself, "Well when in Rome!" and flopped down beside his best friend and proceeded to start killing that shitload of virtual soldiers.
The noise of the busy lunch crowd at the packed Spotlight Diner was deafening as a multitude of patrons swarmed in and out of the popular establishment. Staff and diners alike flittered around the diner trying to get some lunch before going back to their daily working lives. Except for a group situated in one of the back booths, who were chatting away like there was no tomorrow. Quinn, Rachel, Santana, Dani, Mercedes, Marley and Kurt were catching up on all the latest gossip while they waited for the guys to arrive so they could all be together when the bands first ever single was due to be played for the very first time on national public radio.
"So how's the Glee Clubs newest relationship faring so far, Marley?" asked Kurt as he stopped a passing waitress for a refill on his skinny flat white coffee.
"Well…ummm…it's, it's going great I suppose. Ryder…you know is an amazing guy and I'm a lucky girl." Marley stammered out a response while trying to appear as happy as possible.
"I call bullshit!" snipped Santana.
"Excuse me?" a stunned Marley meekly responded back.
"What I think Santana is trying to say after you peel back all the layers of bitchiness…" started Quinn as Santana just shrugged and finished off her second Spicy Pineapple Margarita before ordering a third from a passing waiter. "Is that while you say everything's going great with you and Ryder; your body language and the look on your face like someone just told your younger self that Santa Claus wasn't real, suggests otherwise."
"Yeah! I agree with my main girl Q, what's up Marley?" added Mercedes as she rubbed Marley's back affectionately.
"Has Ryder been taste testing the tacos at a different food truck or something?" Santana crudely interjected as she sipped on her newly delivered Margarita.
"SANTANA!" everyone chorused negatively at their friend's crudeness.
"I think you've had enough of these…" stated Kurt as he snatched away Santana's Spicy Pineapple Margarita. "How is it possible you become an even bigger bitch when you're drunk?"
"If you don't give Aunty Snixx back her booze Hummelina, I'm going to show you exactly how much of a bitch I can be!" threatened Santana.
"Please! Marley ignore Crudella De Bitch over there and her 101 crude and booze induced threats and tell us what's on your mind." Interjected Quinn as she moved Santana's drink even further away from the fuming Latina.
"Okay…okay. Have you guys ever felt like you've just got everything you thought you've ever wanted, but then you find out there's this other amazing incredible thing out there; and you don't think you can have both?" asked Marley cryptically.
"Marley! Don't tell me you've been cheating on poor innocent Ryder?" accused Kurt as he sat there shocked that Marley might have been capable of such a thing.
"No!" assured Marley straight away before continuing but this time much quieter and meeker. "But, sometimes I feel that I am in some weird way cheating on him, because my heart isn't exactly in it…you know."
Everyone looked at each other completely confused before Mercedes was the first to get enough courage to ask. "No we don't know. Now how about you just tell us exactly what is worrying your pretty little head." Finished Mercedes as she rubbed soothing circles on Marley's back.
"Maybe that's the problem, Ryder has an itty bitty teeny weenie…" started Santana as she peered through the bottom of one of her empty glasses, trying to figure out how to get more alcohol.
"SANTANA! Don't you dare finish that sentence!" snapped Quinn before turning back to Marley who was blushing profusely. "Just ignore Señorita Boozy and please continue Marley".
"Well…" started an extremely nervous Marley before continuing, "I like Ryder I really do, and I think he's an amazing guy and everything. It's just that we're still so young and there's still so much of the world left to explore. The thing is and you guys have to promise me you wont tell Ryder this. But I've been offered a prestigious internship for my photography."
"Marley that's absolutely amazing news! But why can't we tell Ryder the news, he'd be so happy for you?" questioned an excited Quinn.
"Because…" started Marley as she nervously started folding and refolding her napkin. "It's in Paris"
"As in Paris, France?" questioned a stunned Kurt.
"Yeah. I just don't know what to do. It's the opportunity of a lifetime for me to go study and practice my craft in one of the art capitals of the world. But Ryder and I are just starting out and I don't know if it's…" Marley trailed off as she once again folded the napkin in front of her.
"Don't know if it's what?" Quinn and Mercedes enthusiastically shouted in perfect sync.
"Just that I don't if it's…." Marley lifted her drink up to her lips and mumbled, "Love" before taking a large nervous gulp of her drink.
"So you're not sure if you love Ryder?" queried Kurt as he started to understand Marley's dilemma.
"Yeah, basically. It's just Ryder has the band now and I'm sure their on the verge of going big and now I have this amazing opportunity. I just feel that maybe even though we really like each other…it's just maybe really bad timing; and we need to do our own thing. But I just want to be really sure before making a decision." Stated Marley as she looked at everyone at the table and continued. "You guys are all in relationships, how did you know when you were in love?"
"I knew Sam and I were in love when he let me borrow his chapstick" stated Mercedes fondly.
"I knew Blaine was the one when he was willing to give everything up just to be with me, like changing schools" cooed a love-struck Kurt.
"I love Dani because she doesn't take my bullshit" responded Santana as she tried to lean over and grab her confiscated cocktail, until Dani slapped her hand away. "See!" pouted a frustrated Santana.
"When did I know I loved Puck?" mused Quinn. "Well? The best answer I can give you is that…if you can't beat them, then join them." Quipped Quinn causing the others to start chuckling. "No. Seriously I think it's because he let's me see the real him, that no one else gets to see."
Everyone at the table had told the story of when they knew they were in love with their significant other apart from a silent Rachel. "What about you Rachel, when did you know you were in love with Finn?" questioned Marley.
"Huh?" responded Rachel halfheartedly.
"Berry! Marley asked you when you and the BFG decided you wanted to be Mr. and Mrs. Potato-Head 2.0!" snipped Santana.
"Sorry I wasn't listening can you repeat the question?" Rachel responded back.
"Rachel, what's going on? Santana just insulted Finn and you didn't defend him, and Marley just gave you the perfect opening to gush about love Finchel style and yet nothing." Asked a concerned Kurt.
"It's just you don't think Finn is growing tired of me? I mean he's a gorgeous guy whose about to become extremely rich and famous. He could have any woman he wants." An extremely concerned Rachel asked the group.
"Please! Finnocence has such a hard-on for you I'm surprised you two aren't engaged again yet with a bunch of little Finchels running around!" stated Santana.
"Rachel, what brought this on?" asked Quinn.
"Well it started this morning…"
Rachel woke up and reached across to try and snuggle into Finn's warm body. Which was one of favourite things to do, but all she could grab was a pile of empty sheets. Reluctantly Rachel got her tired body out of bed grumbling on why she had to go looking for Finn her snuggle buddy so early in the morning. Rachel slipped on an old shirt of Finn's that she had claimed for her own back when they had first started dating and went in search of her boyfriend.
Her search concluded as she came into the lounge room and saw Finn leaning up against on of the large windows staring out at the expansive city before him slowly waking up. Rachel took a moment to take in the striking form of her man silhouetted against the large apartment window; and the way his naked chest slowly rose and fall with each breath. She slowly walked up behind Finn and wrapped her arms around him and started leisurely placing a series of small kisses across his back.
Finn clutched one of Rachel's small hands and gave it a gentle squeeze as he clung on like Rachel was the only thing keeping him tethered to the ground and from floating away. "Morning Hummingbird! I hope I didn't wake you." Greeted Finn as he placed a sweet kiss on Rachel's hand that he was still holding.
Rachel let out a contented moan at the feel of Finn's lips on her hand and answered back, "Morning yourself handsome! You didn't wake me. But you know how much I hate waking up without getting quality time with my snuggle buddy, Finn!"
Finn let out a tiny chuckle at the antics of his tiny adorable girlfriend. "My deepest apologies baby girl." Finn responded as he pulled Rachel around in front of him and wrapped her tightly in his arms. "There, does that make up for the inexcusable lack of cuddles this morning?"
Rachel almost forgot to answer as she was so content and comfortable being wrapped in Finn's strong embrace. "You have a lot of making up to do Finny, but it's a start."
"If you say so" murmured Finn as he went back to staring out at the city with Rachel securely wrapped in his arms.
"What's on your mind Finny?" asked Rachel as she looked up into the face of Finn who looked like his was lost in deep thought.
"Why do you think something's on my mind?"
"Please! It's well before nine in the morning and instead of sleeping like the dead in his giant, warm, and comfy bed with his beautiful girlfriend, your out here dressed only in your boxers brooding like some teenage heartthrob as you look out at the city."
"You know me too well, baby. But don't worry I'm just thinking." responded Finn.
"Obviously. But what about?" asked Rachel back.
Finn looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms and replied, "Today's the day our album comes out and I'm just worried I suppose that no one's going to like it; and that I've just been fooling myself with all this record executive and singer/songwriter stuff."
"Finn Hudson, there is absolutely no way you have been fooling yourself. You've been living here in New York just over half a year now and already you've written and produced six number one hits for a wide range of artists. YOU did that Finn! YOU…FINN HUDSON! The quarterback…the leader of New Directions…the MAN I love, did all that. Remember that next time you doubt yourself." Explained Rachel as she gazed deep into the eyes of her tall boyfriend.
"You always no just what to say to get me to settle down, Rach. How did I get so lucky having an amazing girl like you looking after me?"
"You must've saved a lot of important people in a past life Finn." Joked Rachel.
"Yeah I guess." Chuckled Finn. "Now how about we go back to that giant, warm, and comfy bed you were talking about and I can start making it up to you for my lack of cuddles?" asked Finn as he went to start leading Rachel back to the bedroom but stopped when he noticed she wasn't moving. "Rach?"
"As wonderful as that sounds Finny, I think you still need some settling down from your amazing girlfriend!" cooed Rachel as she stalked over to Finn.
"What did you have in mind?"
Rachel didn't respond she just kissed Finn and slid her body down his naked torso till her face was inline with one her favourite parts of Finn's anatomy. She casually ran her hand over the increasing bulge in Finn's boxers, smirking at the loud groan coming from her Finn. She used her nails to slowly pull Finn's boxers down his legs making sure to scrape her nails down his legs, knowing how much using her nails turned him on. Once Finn's boxers were at his feet and pulled off, Rachel started sensuously kissing a trail back up Finn's body, purposely avoiding Finn's very obvious erection. Rachel smirked to herself at the stunned expression on Finn's face as she raised herself back to full height and slowly whipped off Finn's old shirt she was wearing, bearing her nakedness to her stunned boyfriend. As Finn reached out to touch her, Rachel held up a finger and waved it backwards and forwards while whispering, "Uh, Uh!". Rachel bit down saucily on her index finger before once again running her nails down Finn's toned torso, before pushing him backwards onto the bench seat in front of the window.
"Just sit back and relax Finny! I'm going to make you forget all about your silly worries about the album." Finn just silently nodded in confirmation as Rachel started to slowly kiss her way back down Finn's body.
Rachel purposely focused her ministrations on every part of Finn's body apart from the one obvious part that yearned for her attention the most. Hearing Finn moan and groan at the delicious torture she was exerting on his body, was turning her on beyond belief and made her feel extremely powerful and sexy. For even though she was over a lot of the insecurities which tormented her throughout high school. She couldn't help but smirk as she thought to herself that it was little old theatre geek Rachel Berry that was about to rock Finn Hudson world by giving him an epic blowjob. Yes, that's right Rachel Berry! Not Quinn Fabray or Santana Lopez, but McKinley's number one slushy target, Rachel Berry. Whose frigid now, sluts of McKinley! Not fucking Rachel Berry…that's who!
A mixed painful and pleasurable groan coming from Finn brought Rachel back to her task at hand. After finally decided Finn had enough torture, Rachel finally descended upon Finn's painfully erect and throbbing manhood. Grasping Finn's member firmly in her hand, she gently kissed the tip which quivered at her touch. "I see you missed me Finny Junior. But don't worry Mamma's going to take great care of you." Rachel whispered before enveloping Finn's cock with her mouth and proceeding too…
"OKAY…OKAY! THAT'S ENOUGH I THINK WE ALL GET THE EXTREMELY VIVID AND ABSOLUTELY TRAUMATISING PICTURE! THANK YOU RACHEL!" yelled Kurt while trying to shove rolled up napkins into his ears.
"For fuck's sake Hummel she was just getting to the best part!" snapped Santana as she reached across and punched Kurt in the arm.
"Forgive me for not wanting to hear the sordid details of my brother and best friend's sex life!" Kurt snapped back as he rubbed his sore arm from where Santana punched him.
"Anyway!" Quinn interjected to stop Kurt and Santana from bickering. "Rachel, it seemed from your story that Finn enjoyed your activities this morning. So what makes you think he's tired of you?"
"He's a man Q, of course he enjoyed getting his dick sucked!" mocked Santana.
"Ignore Santana, Rachel." Quinn assured her friend as she and the others turned their attention towards Rachel at the table.
"Well…" started Rachel before nervously stopping and fidgeting with her skirt, before continuing. "Usually when I do…that, for Finn it doesn't take long for him to…. You know cum. But this time he didn't…" Finished Rachel quietly.
"Didn't what?" asked a naïve Marley
"Didn't cum" mumbled Rachel extremely quietly, while Kurt started singing Defying Gravity to himself so he wouldn't have to hear about his brother ejaculation problems.
"Rachel I'm sure it wasn't because Finn's tired of you. It was probably just because he's so stressed out over his work, that for so long has been private now is about to be available for the entire world." Reassured Mercedes.
"Yeah your probably right. Thanks guys!" Rachel said as she visibly perked up.
"Holy Hell! Cumming too soon, to now not cumming at all! Wait till Puck hears about this!" exclaimed Santana as she started laughing really loudly.
"SANTANA LOPEZ! YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES TELL ANYONE INCLUDING NOAH PUCKERMAN ABOUT FINN'S UNFORTUNATE SITUATION!" yelled Dani towards her girlfriend surprising everyone at the table and causing Kurt to stop singing to himself.
"And why wouldn't I tell anyone? It's hilarious!" Santana answered back.
"Because if you do I'll tell everyone why you're not legally allowed within one hundred yards of the channel ten weather girl!" threatened Dani.
"You promised you wouldn't tell anybody!" cried Santana.
"And I wont. As long as you promise not to tell anyone about Finn or make fun of him for it."
"FINE! I promise not to make fun of Finnocence for not being able to press the eject button." Conceded a reluctant Santana.
"Anyway, Marley was asking you Rachel how you knew Finn was the one." Interjected Kurt as he tried to get the conversation back on track.
"Well…I knew I always loved Finn. But I wasn't sure he had feelings for me back until we kissed for the first time in the auditorium." Explained Rachel smiling to herself at the memory.
"What do you mean?" asked an intrigued Marley.
"Here let me explain" said Rachel as she jumped up and went over to the sound system and started playing some music.
RACHEL:
Does he love me I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
Is it in his eyes?
The girls and Kurt all started dancing around the diner and the table where a smiling and confused Marley was sitting.
RACHEL:
Oh no! You'll be deceived
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
Is it in his sighs?
RACHEL:
Oh no! He'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
That's where it is
Is it in his face?
RACHEL:
Oh no! That's just his charms
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
In his warm embrace?
Rachel pulled Marley out of the booth she was sitting in and started spinning her around as she sung.
RACHEL:
Oh no! That's just his arms
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
Just as Rachel had finished singing Quinn, Santana, Dani, Mercedes and Kurt all popped up from behind one of the booths in the diner and started singing their part, freaking the hell out of Marley.
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
That's where it is
RACHEL:
It's in his kiss
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
That's where it is
RACHEL:
Kiss him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
How about the way he acts
RACHEL:
Oh no! That's not the way
And you're not list'nin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
That's where it is
RACHEL:
It's in his kiss
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
That's where it is
The girls and Kurt shoved Marley into a chair in front of the stage as Rachel rushed up on stage and continued to sing. The others followed Rachel up onto the stage and took their positions as backup singers to Rachel as she continued to explain to Marley how she can find out if Ryder really loves her.
RACHEL:
Hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
How about the way he acts
RACHEL:
Oh no! That's not the way
And you're not listnin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
That's where it is
RACHEL/SANTANA/DANI/MERCEDES/QUINN/KURT:
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
The music ended as all the friends laughingly hugged each other before jumping off the stage but not before bowing before the rapturous applause of the other diner patrons. They all went back and sat back down at their booth with Marley.
"Well?" asked Rachel.
"So your saying if I want to know if he really loves me…that it's in his kiss?" Marley half asked, and half stated.
"By George I think she's got it!" answered Rachel in her best English accent, causing the others to laugh.
As Finn and the guys exited the cab, he took a moment just letting everything sink in. For some reason the sun seemed to shine brighter, the breeze felt cooler and the air just seemed cleaner. Which was saying something, considering they lived in New York City. It was just now that his nerves had been pushed into the background, he could now appreciate just what an immense opportunity this was for him and the guys. This was there chance to show the world and especially all those hicks back in Lima, Ohio that he, Finn Hudson and the others were more no Lima losers. The sound of his name being called brought Finn back to the present as he saw the guys standing at the entrance of the diner looking at him weirdly.
"Finn you better get that weird look off your face, before the paparazzi get a pic of you. Where nowhere near famous enough to fob your weirdness off as you just being 'artsy'. So get your giant ass over here so we can meet up with the others and finally hear our debut single in all it's glory" quipped Puck.
"Whatever dude." Chuckled Finn as he jogged over to catch up with the guys as they headed into the diner.
As Finn and the guys entered the diner it didn't take them long to spot Kurt and the girls sitting in a booth over in the corner. The guys manoeuvred their way through the other patrons as they made their way over to the corner booth. Just as they got to the booth where the others were they heard Marley say something to Rachel about kissing.
"Hey baby!" greeted Finn as he kissed Rachel on the cheek as he slid in beside her in the booth. "What's this about kissing?"
Rachel, Kurt and the other girls all looked at each other before Rachel looked back at Finn and said. "Nothing Finny, I was just telling the girls and Kurt how great of a kisser you were."
"Damn straight!" agreed Finn as he and Rachel engaged in an intense kissing session until they were rudely interrupted when Santana threw a balled up napkin at the amorous duo.
Everyone had somehow managed to merge off into their partnership groups as Mercedes and Quinn alternated between giving Marley subtle nudges and inconspicuous coughs as they motioned silently with their heads between her and Ryder.
"Ryder?" asked Marley nervously.
"Yeah" answered Ryder as he turned his attention away from trying to complete the maze on the back of the children's menu.
"Nothing. Just this." Replied Marley as she grabbed Ryder and proceeded to give him the kiss of his life
Marley finally pulled her lips away from a stunned Ryder. "Whoa! What was that for?" asked Ryder as he shuffled nervously in his seat trying to hide his bodies reaction to Marley's scorching kiss.
"Just because and also because I needed to find something out." Replied Marley
"AND?" asked all the girls and Kurt at the table as the guys just looked on not having a clue what was going on.
"And…now I know. Thanks Rachel." Stated Marley.
"No problem. Us Glee girls have to stick together." Rachel answered back as she reached across and patted Marley's hand, as they guy's continued to look on bewildered.
"As much fun as it is living a real life Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus moment, it's four o'clock. We need to turn on the radio; this is when they said our single was going to air!" interrupted Puck.
"YO, GUNTHER! TURN THE RADIO ON!" shouted Santana.
"I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE, DO IT YOURSELF LOPEZ! I'M THE BOSS AND YOU'RE MY EMPLOYEE REMEMBER!" Gunther shouted back.
"FINE, I'LL DO IT BUT CONSIDER THIS WORKING. WHICH MEANS I GET AN EXTRA TEN MINUTES ON MY BREAK!" shouted Santana as she went over to switch on the radio to the right station.
"Your damn lucky you're in the union otherwise I would've fired your ass!" snipped Gunther.
"No you wouldn't, because you love me too much. Plus, I make your life interesting." Countered Santana.
"Please! Because of you my blood pressure is through the roof and my ulcers have their own ulcers you crazy chika!" stated Gunther as he went back into his office to continue balancing the books as Santana sat back down at the booth with her friends.
"I didn't know we had a union at the diner." Questioned a puzzled Rachel.
"We don't. I just told Gunther we do so I can take extra long brakes and have the third Monday off of every month so I can attend my fake union meetings." Declared a smug Santana.
Everyone turned their attention to the radio as the announcer came on…
"Welcome back to KQZT FM New York's hottest station. Where we play all the latest tracks from the world's hottest artists, that you just can't get out of your head. As well as the tracks you secretly love but tell everyone you hate.
Now dear listeners I can't tell you how much our station has been flooded with requests for our next band and they haven't even released an album yet. Until today that is. Over the past month you guys have pestered us on Facebook, twitter, Instagram, phone calls, hell I even received requests for these guys on my Tinder account. And for a lucky few of you I even swiped right before hopping online to find out who these guys were. We haven't seen this amount of pandemonium over a band or artists since a vast majority of us publicly and secretively caught Bieber Fever.
Now for most of you I don't have to say much to introduce these guys to the world, but for the uninitiated of you out there, here's a brief bio. These five guys are all from the small town of Lima, Ohio where they all went to McKinley High School together. Even though they came from all over the high school clique spectrum they were all friends and were members of their National Winning Glee Club.
Let me introduce these five guys. We have Noah 'Puck' Puckerman, Blaine Anderson, Finn Hudson, Sam Evans and Ryder Lynn! When you put these guys together, you get the hottest band out there right now…MCKINLEY!"
The group of friends erupted in extremely loud cheers as the announcer said the name of the band. With Rachel bouncing around in her seat, clapping and pointing out Finn to everyone in the diner, while excitedly yelling. "This is Finn…Finn's my boyfriend…everyone this is Finn!"
"McKinley's debut album just dropped today for all you fanatics out there. It's called, 'School of Rock' and just because I'm exceptionally awesome. I have for all you special people out there, the first single of McKinley's debut album. It's called, 'Kids Wanna Rock'. Have a listen and remember to hit us up on all our social media accounts about what you think of the boys from Lima, Ohio. So without any further ado, here we go peeps…"
The opening rifts of the song burst out of the radio and reverberated around the diner…
Turned on the radio
Sounded like a disco
Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
But I couldn't find no rock 'n roll
This computerised crap ain't gettin' me off
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
London to L.A.
Talkin' 'bout the New Wave
For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut
And waste your life away
The gathered group of friends all looked around shocked as all the young people in the diner all got up and started dancing around. Finn just sat there stunned as actual people…actual real people were dancing around of their own free will to a song he wrote that was playing on the freaking radio. Meanwhile Rachel was spending her entire time watching the man who had captured her heart all those years ago in the auditorium of McKinley High School. She just couldn't take her eyes off him. Even though this was Finn's moment it was making her heart and soul soar and her love for Finn grow exponentially as she watched Finn's potential being realised and recognised by the whole world.
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Get me my D.J.
I got somethin' he's gotta play
Wanna hear it I can't wait
So turn it up, turn it up...
Kick down the barricades
Listen what the kids say
From time to time people change their minds
But the music is here to stay
I've seen it all from the bottom to the top
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
As soon as the last notes drifted from the radio speakers everyone in the diner erupted into raucous applause. Finn, Puck, Sam, Blaine and Ryder all stood up which caused even more applause as well as wolf whistles and excited gasps from some of the young girls. Taking a moment to bask in the adoration of the diner patrons, the guys proceeded to bow to everyone as the applause continued. As the applause died down, Rachel leaned over and whispered to Finn, "So what happens now superstar?"
Finn just turned around so he could fully look at the excited brunette sitting beside him and said. "I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but right now I'm taking a certain brown eyed beauty home because I plan on spending the rest of the day repaying a debt."
Rachel looked at Finn confused, "Debt? What are you talking about Finn?"
Finn just gave Rachel his trademark smirk and leant down and whispered in her ear all the things he was planning on doing to her; to make up for not fully enjoying her blowjob from earlier that morning. As Finn continued detailing in graphic detail everything he planned, all Rachel could do was grasp the side of Finn's shirt as she bit her bottom lip to stop from letting out a very loud audible groan. Once he had finished Rachel was already out of the booth pulling a laughing Finn behind her while yelling back to their friends. "SORRY GUYS! FINN AND I HAVE TO GO…SOMETHING SUDDENLY CAME UP. BYE!" before running out the door and shoving an old lady aside as they stole her cab.
"I wonder what could've suddenly came up?" asked a naïve Marley.
"Honestly Marley isn't it obvious! What suddenly came up was little Finny!" answered Santana crudely complete with hand gestures of her finger springing out from her clenched fist.
"SANTANA!" groaned everyone, while Kurt started once again singing Defying Gravity really loudly while closing his eyes and sticking his fingers in his ears.
Meanwhile as the cab sped away Finn gave the old lady an apologetic wave to apologise for stealing her cab. But all he got in return was the old lady giving him the finger.
"Hey Rach, that old lady just gave us the finger!" exclaimed a shocked Finn.
"Well it is New York Finn" was all Rachel said as if that explained perfectly the old lady's rude behaviour, before launching herself at Finn and attaching herself at the lips to her hot boyfriend for the remainder of the trip home.
Thanks to all the people still reading and hopefully reviewing this story, I hope I'll once again get to a more regular routine of posting the final chapters. The songs used in this chapter were, 'The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)' by Cher, and 'Kids Wanna Rock' by Bryan Adams. Like always see you next time. Have a good one and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
