A/N I am BACK! I am so ready to write! I have felt so inspired lately and I'm just ready. Are ya'll excited for the new Glee Tuesday? SECTIONALS! Sounds AMAZING to me! Anywho! Onto the story!

Disclaimer: Ya'll all know I don't own Glee! Or Puck and Sam would never wear shirts, Carl would never not be in an episode, and Puck and Rachel never broken up! But since this did not happen… I don't own it!

Previously on Never Too Late: "Holy crap, Rachel!" Brittany said this even before she was completely out of the dressing room.

"Damn, Rach! You look incredible! You are buying it!" Santana's reaction was the one that shocked her more, "But what doYOUthink?" At that, Rachel had to think for a moment. What did she think? The first word that popped into her head was,

"Perfect!" Their reactions were not quite what she had expected though.

Rachel POV

After leaving the mall, Rachel, Britt, and San all headed back to Santana's house. Rachel decided she would just use some of her new clothes to wear the next day, and for pajamas she had bought some pajama shorts and a tank top or two.

"So, Santana." Rachel was beating around the bush, but she had no clue why.

"Yes, Rachel?" Santana was going through her closet trying to find her and Brittany's favorite bikinis.

"What is it that Mercedes wanted me to bring?" Brittany had been searching through Santana's clothes and screamed yes as she pulled out a red string bikini of Santana's followed by a pink frilled one for herself. "Those are cute, Britt!"

"Yeah, I know! Thank you."

"Mercedes wants us to bring all sorts of fruits and stuff." Rachel was definitely confused by this request.

"Pardon?"

"It's for a game, loca! You'll just have to be surprised huh?" Rachel just rolled her eyes and folded her arms in front on her chest with a huff.

~at the party~

Rachel, Brittany, and Santana arrived at Mercedes' household just after picking up the supplies Mercedes asked them to retrieve. They had their swim suits on under a pair of jean shorts and tank tops that matched their bikinis.

They were greeted to the sound of California Girls by Katy Perry blaring through some speakers in the backyard. The girls were getting out of the Camaro just as Puck drove up in his truck. Santana and Brittany had already reached the back gate, completely ignoring the fact that Puck had just driven up. Rachel on the other hand was all excited to see him. Just as she was about to say hello, Santana yelled for her,

"Loca! I left my bag in your car! Can you grab it for me?"

"Sure San!" Rachel didn't mind since she was still standing by her vehicle. She bent over the door and reached in for her bag, but little did she know her itty bitty shorts road up quite a bit, and a certain boy happened to be staring at her ass. Rachel stood back and realized her rear was hanging out of her shorts! Not horribly, but enough that you could see some. She immediately pulled down her shorts and turned around with Santana's bag in hand.

"Hey Berry. Is this yours?" Rachel thought at first he was talking about the bag, but soon noticed his eyes on her car.

"Yeah, it's my baby."

"Well, we'll just have to take it for a spin sometime." Rachel smiled to herself just a smidge.

"Sure" She wanted to say more, but Santana said not to talk too much, because it scares people off. This, if she really thought about it, was true. "Wanna head in?" Instead of answering, Noah put his arm around her shoulders and began walking towards the gate.

Noah opened the gate and smirked as he noticed, everyone was there and staring at them. He and Rachel continued walking toward the pool, where Brittany, Mike, Finn, Quinn, Kurt, and Matt were all lurking. Rachel had always wondered if people actually swam at pool parties, her question had been answered.

I wonder what Noah would do if I ran and jumped into the pool and dragged him with me? The thought crossed her mind as soon as she noticed him take off his shoes. Before he or she could undress anymore than the removal of their shoes, she grabbed his hand, and ran and jumped into the pool. As they hit the water, Rachel felt Noah's warm hand on her butt. He moved it quickly, so she ignored it.

"Berry! What the hell?" Rachel did her best imitation of his sexy smirk and giggled.

"I knew it'd be the last thing you expected me to do, so I did it." What happened next shocked everyone, especially Rachel. Noah removed his shirt, and then began removing hers. He threw them both out of the pool. Rachel gasped at the touch and soon she pulled her shorts off, soon following his lead by throwing her shorts out as well. No they weren't both naked; they both had their bathing suits on, but it was just as weird for everyone else.

"That was kinda hot Berry." Rachel began to blush a dark crimson and smiled despite herself. He then began to lean forward, with every intention of planting one on her, until Santana jumped in the pool, landing on top of Rachel. They both came up for air, Santana laughing and Rachel gasping.

"You whore!" Rachel yelled it around her laughter but everyone went silent after hearing her say such a rude word. "What? I always thought that word was a term of endearment." Rachel began blushing, until everyone began laughing around her.

"With us, it kinda is." Brittany added through her laughter.

~After swimming~

"Cedes! Will you PLEASE tell me why you asked me to bring fruit and what not?" The glee clubbers had just gotten out of the pool and had changed into some dry clothes, which for the girls was pajama's and Kurt the guys wore basketball shorts, some with shirts(Finn, Artie, and Matt), some without(Mike and Noah).

"Mocha, put her out of her misery and explain the game." Kurt muttered it just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Ok Diva, everyone has to get in boy/girl groups. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend you have to get with them, otherwise you may be with anyone of the opposite sex you choose." Mercedes said this and everyone soon began moving, except Rachel. She had no clue who to pick, so she sat where she was.

"Berry" She heard her name being called and turned, "Get over here, partner." Rachel soon began to smile and went to sit on the loveseat beside Noah. A few moments later, they heard Mercedes' voice again,

"All the girls get comfortable with your fella before we go on." Mercedes let Kurt put his head on her shoulder. Quinn put her head on Finn's shoulder, and Tina sat in front of Artie and rested her head on his legs. Santana and Brittany both put their legs on their boyfriend's legs. This left Rachel not knowing how to move to be more comfortable with Noah.

"Sit on my lap." She heard his quiet whisper and blushed, but did as she was told. She sat on him sideways so she could still look at him and Mercedes as she gave orders.

"Yay! Alright, everyone is coupled off now, correct?" Everyone nodded their heads silently. "Now, everyone look who is across from you." Rachel took notice that they were seated across from Santana and Matt. Quinn and Finn were across from Brittany and Mike, and Artie and Tina were across from Mercedes and Kurt. "Ok, now come up with a couple name for them, and write down ingredients that would go in a sandwich or drink that was for them." Rachel noticed Noah arched his eyebrow at her but smirked at the same time. They were all given a note pad to write everything down on.

"I like Satt." Rachel soon began to laugh uncontrollably upon hearing Noah's suggestion.

"No way! She would kill me in my sleep or something!" At that Noah chuckled,

"Fine, what about Ropez?" Rachel thought about this for a moment and wrote it down.

"I actually like it. For ingredients, lets make a smoothie."

"Well, we need coconut, because they are crazy about each other." The two soon finished their list and it looked like this:

Coconut

Strawberry

Chocolate

Jalapeños

Whipped Cream

Upon seeing their ending result for their smoothie recipe, they both laughed and almost cried. "That sounds so nasty, Berry!" She nodded in agreement, "Remind me not to ask you to cook for me on our date." Rachel's eyes went wide and her laughter subsided, as a blush crept up on her. Deciding she needed to play it cool she looked at him through her eyelashes,

"Is that and invitation, Mr. Puckerman?"

"I think it is, Ms. Berry." At this, Rachel smiled to herself.

"In that case, I accept. Let's get through tonight first though, and then we can figure out if we'll make it though the night. We may actually have to eat these, ya know?" And that was it on the subject. Which Rachel was glad, but kind of sad about too. She was glad she mentioned the fact of the eating it, especially since he laughed, until they heard Mercedes say one thing that made both Rachel and Noah begin to die of laughter again,

"Just remember, you have to make the smoothie/sandwich and then whoever you made it for has to eat/drink it."

A/N I actually really liked writing the first part to this 2 maybe 3 part chapter. I liked writing about just a fun time with friends! Please review and hopefully the next chapter will be up soon! Thanks to all who review and read!
