The Man You'll Marry
And here we are another chapter. Sorry it took longer then planed but I wanted to update my other WIP, that being said should I just alternate updates between that one and this one or just go where my muse takes me? Anyway this is more of a Faberry chapter but don't fret more Samchel coming up! Also my friend Gina suggested I add Klaine to this verse and so here it is for her…and finally as always don't own the fandom…just my obsession.

Sitting down at the local coffee shop Rachel began to sip her soy late as she closed her eyes and let her mind take her back to the day before on the beach. She could hear the sounds of the crashing waves and smell the mixture of salt and sunscreen in the air as she played back the kiss that she shared with Sam.
"Rachel, " Quinn's voice rang out while she was lost in thought, "Rachel…earth to Miss Berry."
Blinking a few times to snap herself back to reality Rachel finally took note of the blonde sitting across the table from her.
"Quinn, hi…when did you get here?"
"Long enough ago to see you looking off into space with a dreamy look in your eye, so what iconic character were you seeing yourself as this time? Scarlett, Holly, Ilsa…"
"None of the above," letting out another sigh Rachel went on, "actually I was thinking about Aunt Chloe."
At this Quinn rolled her eyes.
"Again with the dress Rachel, seriously…"
"I told you the story right?"
Quinn nodded.
"Studying abroad, Champs-Élysées, cryptic seamstress, your uncle saving her from traffic…."
"But I never told you what happened AFTER he saved her did I?"
"You told me they got married in less then a month but something tells me there is a middle to this story?
"Precisely," Rachel said nodding, "so my Aunt Chloe shakes meeting the man off to coincidence and then the following day she was sitting in the library studying and guess who sits in the cubical next to her?"
"Your uncle."
"My uncle, now at first they chalk the meeting up to coincidence and engage in a bit of small talk like nothings going on, this is until the two of them run into each other more times and still Aunt Chloe thought it more coincidence then fate…. This is until they kissed. All it took was a simple kiss to light a spark making them realize they were soul mates and well the rest as they say is history."
Quinn just nodded not seeing how Rachel's ramblings had a point until the brunette spoke up once more, or rather blurted out in a monosyllabic gesture.
"IsawSamagain."
"Excuse me?"
"Twice, I saw Sam again twice."
Quinn took a sip of her coffee before crossing her arms across her chest and pouting at her friend.
"And you didn't tell me."
"I didn't think anything of our first…" Rachel paused as she nervously began to fidget with her hair, "well technically second encounter before my meeting with Artie."
"Whoa, step back…you told me all about your meeting and you never mentioned Sam."
"I didn't think it was important at the time."
"But now?"
"It's important especially now that yesterday when we ran into each other at the beach we kissed and I can't stop thinking about him…when I'm awake when I'm asleep all I can see is us on the beach….and I know now what Aunt Chloe meant about the kiss igniting a spark."
Quinn flashed a huge smile as she eagerly clapped her hands.
"So, did you get his number because if you do you should call him, invite your fiancé to be to Blaine's party tonight!"
Rachel let a round of laughter play out in her head just imagining bringing Sam to the party, meeting her friends, she was sure that Blaine would go all protective big brother while his boyfriend Kurt would judge Sam solely on looks and Quinn would bring up their 'future wedding' in some way shape or form. At this thought Rachel shook her head.
"Weather I have his number or not, inviting him is a lost cause."
"Why, and don't say it's cause your playing hard to get."
"It's not….he's engaged."
Quinn's mouth opened wide in shock.
"No."
"Yes."
"But you said you kissed, what did he do… break the news to you when you pulled apart?"
"Actually he told me before the kiss, he told me it wasn't yet official but still… it's the principle of the thing and I don't want to be the one to cause him to wreck his relationship despite the fact that in the past 24 hours I can't stop thinking about him no matter what I try to do to distract myself."
"Well then maybe Sam and his not quite fiancé aren't meant to be."
Rachel just shrugged her shoulders.
"What would you do if the rolls were reversed? If you met a guy who was engaged but couldn't help having these…feelings."
Smiling at her friend Quinn simply shook her head.
"I'd go for it, I mean he hasn't put a ring on it yet so what do you have to loose?"
Rachel just let out a laugh.
"And besides I'm going to be late to the party if I make it at all so you could use a Karaoke partner."
Letting out another laugh Rachel shook her head.
"A- I have Blaine, B- I don't know if he can sing and C- I never did get his number."
"Oh well, maybe fate will intervene and he'll show up at the club anyway after all it is a public place."
Simply nodding Rachel wanted to think she was just humoring her best friend however deep down she silently was thinking to herself….
'God I hope so.'
