Hey guys! Thank you so much for all your reviews and alerts. They make my day. This is chapter 5 and I'm not too sure how much I like it, but we'll see what you guys think. I haven't read through it cause it's 1 in the morning, so there may be some mistakes. Read and Review :)
Rachel's hand searched for her alarm clock as it's beeping got louder. She finally found it and the beeping stopped. She snuggled back under her warm covers hoping for a little more sleep. She was almost asleep when Defying Gravity filled the room. She moved her hand around her nightstand trying to locate her phone. She grabbed it and looked to see who was calling her. Puck lit up the screen and she couldn't help the butterflies that were in her stomach. "Hello," she answered fighting a yawn.
"Hey Berry," Puck said into the phone. "What'cha doing?"
"Oh you know just what normal people do at," she said looking at her clock, "7 o'clock in the morning. Didn't you just go to bed like 5 hours ago?"
"Eh, yeah," Puck answered. "But I had to get up and meet delivery people at P&F this morning."
"Ah, you're still going to go with that," Rachel laughed.
"You still don't believe me do you?" Puck asked knowing the answer.
"I uh do," she started.
"Sure you do, Berry," Puck teased.
"I just need some hardcore physical evidence," she told him. Puck couldn't stop his head from where it went with her words. He was shook out of his daze when he heard her giggling in the background. "Where did your head just go?" she asked innocently.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" he asked flashing a smirk that she couldn't see.
"Maybe I would?" she asked innocently again. Puck could not believe she had just asked that. His head went right back to where it was before her questions. "So, was there an actually reason for your call?"
"Just making sure that we are still on for tonight."
"6 o'clock in front of P&F," Rachel recited as she sat up in bed. "And you have now given me a full," she said looking at the clock, "11 hours and 15 minutes to get ready," she laughed.
"I don't think you need all that time to get ready," he told her.
"I just might," she giggled.
"No you don't. I bet you look pretty cute right now."
"Puck," Rachel yelled.
Puck laughed thinking about how red Rachel's face would be. "Just telling the truth, babe. So, tonight, you'll be there?" Puck tried to not sound too worried that she would change her mind.
"Yes, 6 on the dot."
"Can't wait. Well, I better let you get ready. I know how long it takes you," he laughed.
"Bye Puck."
"Bye," Puck said before hanging up.
Rachel laid back down and shrieked. She got out of bed and walked over to her closet. "What should I wear?" she asked herself. She pushed around a few pieces before running to her phone. She dialed a number and listened to it ring.
"I'm not talking to you," Kurt answered.
"But Kurt," Rachel whined.
"Nope. You never called me last night with details," he explained.
Rachel smiled. "Do you want to know why I never called you?"
Kurt was silent for a second. "Oh my Gucci! You two had sex didn't you?"
"Kurt!" Rachel yelled into the phone. "How long have you known me?"
"It could happen," he told her.
"Kurt," she yelled again.
"Okay, okay. I guess you are right. So, why didn't you call with all the dirty deets?"
"We were talking on the phone till 2," she told him.
"In the morning?" he questioned.
"Yes, Kurt."
"And how in the world are you up at this hour in the morning?"
"I got another phone call that woke me up."
"From one handsome man?" he asked her.
"It was," Rachel told him. "And now I need your fashion help for tonight?"
"What's tonight?"
"I'm meeting Puck tonight," Rachel explained.
"Oh! Where?"
"At P&F."
"Damn," Kurt exclaimed.
"And you'll never guess what else I found out."
"He has an equally hot gay brother who he has shown my picture to and wants to date me?"
"Really Kurt?"
"It could happen."
"Just come over and I will tell you," Rachel told him.
"Already on my way," Kurt told her before hanging up. Rachel laughed when she heard her doorbell ring 10 minutes later.
"Hello," she said as she opened the door.
"Darling, what are you wearing?" Kurt asked as he made his way into the house.
Rachel looked down at her old dance shirt and shorts. "My pajamas."
"Girl, we need to get you some better sleepwear. So what else do you need to tell me about the tall, dark, and handsome one."
"Ah, it's the best part, but I'm still not to sure if I believe him. I guess I will find out tonight, which is why you are here. I mean I really need a great outfit and who else would I call, but you," Rachel rambled.
"RACHEL!" Kurt yelled to get her attention.
"I was rambling, wasn't I?"
"Yes, you were. Now what do you have to tell me?"
"Well, I found out last night that Puck is co-owner of P&F," Rachel squealed.
"No way!" Kurt screamed practically jumping up and down.
"I said the same thing. But I don't know if I should believe him."
"Why wouldn't you believe him? It's not like he has any reason to lie to you?"
"I know, it's just that I can't get over…"
"Don't you say his name," Kurt cut her off.
"But," Rachel started again.
"No. You will not think about him. Tonight a very fine-looking, built like a Greek god, Adonis look alike is taking you out tonight and you will enjoy yourself because you are one strong, sexy woman who doesn't let slime balls hold her back," Kurt encouraged her.
She blew out a breath. "Okay."
"Now what time is he picking you up?"
"I'm meeting him at 6," Rachel informed Kurt.
"He's not picking you up?" Kurt practically yelled.
"We aren't in high school, Kurt. I can make it there by myself."
"I guess I can let it slide this time," Kurt told her while looking at his watch. "Oh my goodness! You need a shower pronto. We only have 11 hours," Kurt yells pushing her towards her bathroom.
"I don't think I need 11 hours, Kurt."Kurt looks her up and down.
"Yes you do. Now shower," he says with one last push into the bathroom.
Rachel laughs before getting into the shower. Once she is done, she is told by Kurt to get dressed in sweats. She did as told and came out to meet Kurt. "Ready," she tells him.
"Okay, let's get going," he said handing her, her purse and phone.
"Where are we going exactly?" Rachel asked skeptically.
"You'll see," Kurt said as he pulled her to his car. After a 20 minute drive, they pulled up to Celebration Spa.
"Kurt?" Rachel asked raising an eyebrow.
"Just come on," he said getting out of the car. They walked into the building and up to the reception desk. "Two for Hummel," he told the woman.
"Right this way," the woman said directing them to a room in the back. They walked into the room and Rachel saw two massage tables.
"Aw thank you," she said giving Kurt a hug.
"Of course dear. If I'm helping you get ready, I might as well pamper myself."
"Thank you," Rachel told him again before they both laid down to start their massages. After their massages, Kurt had ordered a manicure/pedicure, facials, and an all body wax for Rachel.
"To the mall," Kurt said dragging Rachel into the mall. "Now we need something sexy, but not too slutty. Hmm. Try on this top with these jeans. And these jeans with this shirt. Oh and this skirt with this sweater," he told her before pushing her into the dressing room.
"A sweater, Kurt?"
"Just get going," he says sitting down on the chair outside her room. Four hours, twenty stores, and five new outfits later Rachel and Kurt finally made it back to her apartment. Kurt pushed her into her bathroom again and told her to take a long, relaxing bath while he figured out which outfit would make Puck and the rest of the boys drool for the night. Rachel did as she was told and took one of the most relaxing baths that she had had in a long time. She got out when she noticed her fingers were starting to wrinkle. After drying off, getting grabbing her robe, and drying her hair she went to her bedroom to see what Kurt had come up with. "Okay, girlie. Are you ready to see your drool worthy outfit?"
"Show me, show me," Rachel said as she bounced to her bed.
"First we have your new pair of skinny jeans," Kurt said holding them up, "paired with your sexy new black tank top that shows just the right amount of the girls." Rachel laughed at the names that Kurt had come up with for her body parts over the years. "And last, but certainly not least your fuck me boots."
"I'm not sleeping with him on the first date," Rachel reminded Kurt as she went over to her dresser.
"Really? Then why are you looking for your sexy underwear?" he asked pointing to where he had set them out.
"Ugh," Rachel said before grabbing her outfit and going to change. Once she was done changing, she let Kurt work his magic on her hair and make up. "Ah thank you," she said when she looked in the mirror.
"Take this," he said handing her, her purse. "And get going or up are going to be late."
Rachel looked at the clock and quickly stood up. "Bye Kurt," she yelled before hurrying out of her apartment. She whistled for a cab and anxiously shook her foot during the ride. Pulling up to P&F she let out a deep breath. Getting out her eyes instantly landed on Puck. He looked great in his low, dark jeans, and black button down shirt. "Hey you," she said and he turned around to look at her.
"Damn," she heard him say under his breath, which cause her face to blush. "Hey yourself," he said coming over to her. "Are you ready to get your evidence?"
"I am."
"Then follow me," he said grabbing her hand as he led her up to the front of the line. "Hey Steve," he said to the bouncer.
"Hey Puck. Thought you weren't coming in tonight?" the bouncer asked.
"Change of plans," he said as he led Rachel through the door. "Enough proof?"
"Maybe," Rachel replied with a smirk.
"Let's go get some drinks," he said pulling her towards the bar. "Oh crap," Puck muttered as Rachel ran into his back.
"Why did you stop?" Rachel asked looking around Puck's shoulder. "Oh no. What are we going to do?" she asked when she noticed Finn and Quinn headed their way.
"Hang on," Puck said as he tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her through the dance floor to an office in the back of the club. "That was close," he said once they were out of harm's way.
"Too close," Rachel laughed. "Why did you want to come here again?"
"Because a certain little someone didn't believe that I owned it. Have enough physical evidence now?" he asked with a smirk.
"I think I have enough," she said looking around the office. Suddenly, the door opened and Finn and Quinn walked in while making out. Rachel's eyes got wide as she looked at Puck. He just shrugged before clearing his throat.
Quinn and Finn pulled apart looking at Puck. "Sorry Puckerman," Quinn said looking down at the floor. "And sorry…" she started as she looked at Rachel. Finn looked towards Rachel too and when he figured out exactly who she was, his eyes widened towards Puck. "Oh my! No way," Quinn started to yell, while the three others in the room looked around at each other. "Rachel Berry?" Quinn asked.
Rachel decided to play along to not blow Finn's surprise. "Ah Q!" Rachel yelled before running to hug Quinn. "Do you know how long it's been since I have seen you?"
"Too long," Quinn answered. "So what have you been up to? I saw that you RSVP'd to the wedding. Can't wait for that. But what are you doing at P&F?" she asked. "With Puck?" she added raising an eyebrow towards Puck.
"Um I have been good. Just teaching some dance lessons at my studio. I can't wait for your wedding either. Who know you would end up marrying the boy I had to hear about every night," Rachel laughed hoping that Quinn would forget her last questions.
"I knew you would open that studio. Now about you and Puck?" she asked again.
Rachel looked over at Puck begging for help. "Um Finn and I were thinking about having some live music one night and Rachel came in to find out information," Puck lied smoothly.
"Why didn't you tell me that?" Quinn looked over to Finn.
"It's in the early stages, Fabray," Puck told her.
"Well, you have to hire B. She is the best singer I know, and the more time she is here, the more time we can hang out," Quinn told the boys.
"More time would be a good idea," Puck said with a smirk that didn't go unnoticed by Rachel. "But why are we all in the office, when we should be on the dance floor celebrating your long lost friendship?" Puck asked.
"Ah let's go show them what we're made of, B," Quinn said starting to the door.
"I'll meet you out there. Just let me get the info," Rachel called out to Quinn. Once Quinn and Finn left, Rachel and Puck both let out a sigh of relief. "Nice save," she laughed.
"You know that she is going to expect you to sing now?"
"I know. I know," Rachel said as she walked up to him. "So, are you ready to show your teacher what you learned?" she whispered huskily.
