Another chapter. Like, I said I'm squeezing every penny. I've decided I'm going to have a lot of Fuinn interaction soon. :D Yup. Hope you guys enjoy this. I've introduced Mike and Santana, woo. They'll normally be linked to Puck. While characters like Kurt, Blaine and Mercedes will be linked to Rachel. And, Quinn obviously linked to Finn. While the other characters are by standers. I'll involve them but they won't be continuously bought into the story. I'm not that happy with this chapter, but I hope I'll get a little better with it the next chapter. :D
Rachel hummed to herself. She was currently seated in the passenger seat of Finn's car with the window rolled down the summer breeze blowing in through the window. Her hair bundled in a bun to keep it out of face. It had been a week since the fight she and Finn had, had. Things were better, Finn was much more involved in the wedding planning. Regardless of how much Rachel had dismissed his ridiculous ideas, she was grateful that he was trying. It gave her a sense of love and hope in what they had. And, she had her persistence to thank for that and Puck's nudging elbow that sent her in the right direction. She looked at Finn and smiled. She was so happy they had patched things up, she placed her hand on his upper arm and squeezed it. He looked at her and she smiled up at him as she leaned over and kissed his arm. "I love you…" she said softly and he nodded. "I love you too." He replied. Rachel nuzzled her nose against his arm lovely before leaning back into her seat. They were currently on their way to Mike Chang's villa in the California area. He was holding a pool party which he evidentially invited all the Glee Club kids to. Apparently everyone was in connection with one of the other members somehow. She was un-sure of who was attending but she was buzzing with excitement.
They hadn't all exactly found out about their engagement. Finn had asked her or God forbid pleaded she didn't update her Facebook or Myspace with their engagement. He claimed he wanted them to tell their friends and family in person, that it was the right, polite thing to do on their part. Rachel with the thoughts of his loving and kind hearted intentions toward his friends and family agreed. The only one that knew about their engagement was Puck and it had been that way for months now. Puck was sworn to secrecy by Finn about the engagement. Puck just held his hands up and shook his head claiming he had no one to tell. That was probably true. He was never really a gossip in her books, he just knew things.
Puck sat in Chang's backyard on the bench. A beer cradled in his grip, he had arrived a day earlier and crashed on the couch. He figured he would come by early and help Chang with the set up and everything. So, here they were. Mike hurling a large keg with difficultly across the backyard and Puck sitting on his ass watching his friend with an amused smirk. Mike just sent him a glare and bitterly looked at him. "You are an ass, dude." He muttered. "I know." Puck smirked as he took a quick swig of his beer. The tall lanky man placed the keg down with a groan and turned to look at Puck. "Since, you're here… Everyone's been wondering, what's the downlow on resident Golden Couple? Finchel? Finn and Rachel? Finnocence and Broadway?" he said in amusement taking a seat across from him. Puck shrugged as he licked the moisture of his beer off his lips. "Couldn't tell you, if I knew." He mutters. As much as he thought the whole secret engagement thing was bullshit, he agreed. He swore he'd lost his will to fight for that shit a long time ago. He'd learned to just go with the flow and let fuck up's like Finn Hudson fuck up.
Mike furrowed his brow and frowned. "Liar. What'd you know? Those guys don't talk to anyone these days. Everyone except you… Now spill your chopsticks or I will personally shove one up your lazy ass." He said, clasping his hands together and leaning forward on the bench table. Puck couldn't help but laugh. "Look, man… If I do know something; I'm gonna let you hear it from them… I'm not a complete asshole." He said as he shrugged. "I beg to differ." Mike said, as he leaned forward and nudged his shoulder with a smirk. "C'mon, dude. I need help with a couple more alcoholic beverages. Considering, boozey McBooze is here." He said with a chuckle; standing up and slapping Puck's back. "Fuck you." Puck said with a chuckle.
The sun shone fiercely down on the former members of Glee Club as they all hung out in Mike Chang's backyard which seemed surprise small with all these people here. Not everyone had shown up, the ones who had though were having fun. Well, in Puck's opinion they were having fun. But, he was just guessing. He hadn't really talked to anyone since he spotted Rachel come through the fence of Mike's backyard and peeled off her summer dress, which she looked fantastic in by the way, revealing a tiny white bikini. He'd almost choked on his beer. Thank fuck, Santana was standing nearby to smack him on the back. After that sight he was almost certain he could feel himself get half hard. Too much skin revealed on Rachel's part drove him insane. He peeled off his shirt and heeled off his shoes. Making a run for the pool and cannonballing in.
He stared suspiciously as Santana her way into the pool. He had taken refuge in there for the past hour or so. He felt like a complete idiot but he figured it was the best he could do at the moment. "Seriously, Puckerman? Have you been spending too much time with New Yorkers. Banged your brains out, finally? What the hell are you doing hanging out in the pool like a complete douchebag?" Santana questioned hotly as she leaned against the wall of the pool. Puck cocked a brow and shook his head. "I see you're still as much as a bitch as I remember." He muttered with a smirk as he stood in his spot in the shallow end of the pool. "It's what I'm best at… What would I achieve from hiding my talent?" she said with a smirk that matched it. Scarily enough. "But, seriously. What's up with you? Not hitting on any of the Glee girls who might I add grew some tits over the years." She laughs as she shook her head. "Except for Berry that is..." she said, batting her eyelashes. Puck furrowed his brow. "The fuck are you talking about? Berry's boobs are fantastic." He said a little too loudly. Causing a few of the members nearby to send him questioning looks. He ignored them.
"I knew it. You like Berry!" she pointed out poking his chest, hard. He swatted her hand away. "What? No, I don't. She's with Finn remember?" he set his jaw and frowned. Santana rolled her eyes and laughed. "So? When has being tied down stop you?" Santana smirked as she licked her lips. "Look, I don't like Berry all right? That's the end of it." He mumbles as he waded to the edge and pulled himself out. Grabbing his shirt and stalking off. Santana scowled and watched him leave. "Pussy." She mumbled to herself.
Rachel sat on the swing, twirling the toothpick of her martini in the martini glass. She licked her lips and let out a sigh. Looking up at Finn who was across the other side of the backyard, talking to Quinn. She frowned, he hadn't paid the slightest bit of attention to her all day. The moment he began to talk to Finn, he had forgotten her existence. And, that hurt. A lot. Here she was on her 3rd martini sitting on a swing. Her toes pressing into the grass. She jumped when she felt a presence take up the swing seat beside her. She tore her eyes from the heart breaking scene of Finn and Quinn. Her eyes coming in contact with hazel ones. She smiled widely as she discovered that the person sitting beside her was Noah. His eyes were special, something she'd always spot. "Hey." She said softly, her tone shy as she looked back down at her glass. Puck nodded. "Hey." He replied in a mumble as his eyes left her and looked at Finn and Quinn. A frown formed on his lips as he looked down at the ground. "You ok?" he mumbles, licking his lips. Rachel nodded and offered a smile. Her free hand holding onto the chain of the swing. "I'm fine, thank you." She squeaked. Puck bit the inside of his cheek and turned to her a little more. "You wanna go see something?" he offered. She raised her brow and pressed her lips together. "I…" she looks at Finn and sighs. Nodding. "Yeah…" she said softly. Puck half smiled and took a hold of her hand pulling her up. He grabbed the martini glass and placed it on the nearby picnic bench. He dragged her into the back door of Mike's house. Sliding the door shut behind him. Rachel looked at him curiously, holding his hand tightly in hers. Her thoughts of Finn and Quinn disappearing.
Puck glanced back at her and smirked; before tugging her up the stairs and down the hall to Mike's guest bedroom. Rachel gave him a questioning look as she was led into the room. "Noah…" she said cautiously. Puck let out a chuckle and closed the door gently behind him. "Relax, Berry. I'm gonna fondle you or something. I'm showing you something…" he continued before tugging her to the window of the small bedroom revealing the extraordinary view of California. Rachel gasped, her eyes widening. "Oh, Noah. This is beautiful." She said squeaked as she placed her hands on the bottom of the window sill. Puck nodded. "I know… I came across it last time I was here. Pretty much blew my fucking mind." He mumbles and nods. She turned to look at him. His gaze softened as he looked down and into her eyes. They seemed as though they were shining in the light that was being absorbed from the sun, he gulped thickly. As he placed a hesitant hand on her hip and leaned forward over her shoulder slightly. "Don't ever let Finn treat you like crap, again… All right?" he said softly as he continued to look her eyes; they were wide with innocence, curiosity and confusion. Her eyes flickered to his lips as she began to wonder in the back of her mind how soft they were. It had been such a long time since she'd touched them with her own. She had forgotten. "Ok" She said softly as he leaned into him. Her back pressed against his tone stomach and chest as she leaned her head back slightly and looked up at him smiling. He couldn't help but smile down at her as he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist. Letting her lean against him. She shut her eyes and smiled. Everything felt perfect for once in her life.
Did you guys like the Puckleberry at the end? It just makes me so curious to why Rachel isn't in love with Puck in the show? I blame, Finn. -_- x) Rachel will soon enough find confinement in Puck. Which will involve a large Finchel blow out and potentially Puckleberry smut? ;) Let's hope. :P It just depends on how the story works out, you know? :D I may or may not post another chapter. We shall see.
Love it. Hate it. Review it.
