Chapter 8: A Day to Remember
At Rachel's Apartment
"Here is a comforter and some pillows Noah, I hope the couch is suitable."
"Yeah, It's fine."
Awkward silence.
"Um, I'm going to take a shower, I'll inform you when I'm finished so you can take one."
"Okay Ber-Rach"
She rolled her eyes and went into the bathroom. Once Puck was sure that she was in the shower he turned on his phone.
time to face the beast.
He only listened to the first 10 voicemail before deleting all 37. They were all the same. Some were just yelling and some were his mother saying how worried she was. He wasn't ready to talk to Capri just yet. He ended up sending 2 texts.
One to his mother:
Hey mom im fine dont worry ill talk to you soon
And one to Capri:
Hey Capri look i know im an ass but im coming to long island in a few days and we can hash it out then
Feeling somewhat relieved, he turned off his phone. Rachel came out of the bathroom wearing a tank top and pajama pants.
"Hey." he said awkwardly
"Hello."
"So are we gonna talk about it?"
"What is there to talk about?"
"Well I don't know, I-"
"Noah, you said that you might love me. I don't want to be strung along only to be hurt. If your feelings are genuine you need to back them up with actions. I'm going to bed. Goodnight Noah."
"Goodnight Rachel."
Noah Puckerman does not say shit like that without meaning it! But if she wants actions the Puckster will show her actions!
The Next Morning
"Good Morning Rachel!"
"Ah! Noah, you scared me. Why are you in my bedroom?"
"I was watching you sleep."
"I don't feel comfortable with that Noah. I hope you don't plan on making a habit out of watching people sleep."
"Jeez Rach, I'm kidding. I just came in to wake you up."
"At 8 o'clock on a Saturday?"
"Well, I have an eventful day planned and we have to get an early start."
"Noah, what are you talking about?"
"You'll see, come into the kitchen."
"You made breakfast?"
"Don't sound so surprised."
"It's just not something I'd expect from Noah Puckerman."
"Well I guess you don't know me as well as you thought."
After breakfast, Puck took Rachel to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and then to Central Park.
"So what's next?"
"a picnic."
"A picnic? Wow, Noah, you never cease to amaze me."
After they ate
"Is there more on the agenda?"
"Of course there's more! To the Empire State Building!"
Rachel laughed at his enthusiasim.
"It's so amazing."
"Has anyone ever like dropped something? That would be hilarious."
"Noah, just shut up and enjoy the view."
"o0o...Berry's gettin' fiesty!"
"I told you to stop calling me that."
"Old habits die hard." he laughed nervously.
After a few minutes of silence Rachel faced him and softly pressed her lips to his.
"Thank you for today, Noah."
"S'no problem."
"So is this all?"
"What do you take me for? Let's go eat and then I'll tell you the grand finale."
"Let's go then!"
After Dinner
"Noah, this is ridiculous. I don't like the idea of walking around New York City with a blindfold on."
"I know, I know. I just want it to be a surprise."
"I respect that, Noah. I just feel that it's not very safe, and though I do trust y-"
"Chill out, Rach. We're here." he removed her blindfold.
"OHMYGOD! WE'RE SEEING WICKED!"
Rachel jumped around exitedly.
"I knew you'd like it."
"Oh, I do, I really do!"
She pulled him in for a quick kiss before resuming her excited bouncing.
"Let's Go!"
Later at the Apartment
"Thank you, Noah. Today was wonderful."
"That was the point babe."
"I'm serious. It was amazing."
"Since we're being serious, I want you to know that I don't think I might love you."
"Oh." her face fell.
"I do love you."
"What?" she said in a soft tone.
"I love you Rachel Berry."
"I love you too."
She gently pressed her lips to his and he deepened the kiss. After a minute or two he pulled away.
"Is something wrong, Noah?"
"No, of course not. I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to go back to Long Island tomorrow."
"Are you coming back?"
"Yeah, definitely. I just have to take care of some things."
"Alright, well, when you get back you're welcome to stay here."
"Thanks, Rach."
"Your Welcome. Well, It's been a tiring day so I'm going to get some rest. Goodnight Noah."
"Night Rach."
better turn my phone on, my ma has got to be freaking out.
When he turned it on he was surprised to find that there were only three missed calls, one voicemail, and three text messages.
The First:
Noah Eli Puckerman, that is not an acceptable response after you disappeared for a week! call me now!
The Second:
I mean it! Now!
Those were the ones from mama Puckerman but Puck was bracing himself for Capri's.
It read:
Noah! How dare you uproot my entire life, leave me hanging for a week, not respond to any of my messages, and then expect that it can all be resolved with a text message! You have some nerve you flaming douche bag!
wow. she's pissed.
Puck responded to both.
To his mom, he said:
Chill out mom, if youre still in long island ill be there tomorrow. oh and stop calling me!
And to Capri:
I know, I know youre right. look im really sorry. im driving up there tomorrow see you then.
Puck left around seven am for Long Island. He reached for his phone but it wasn't there.
Shit. I left my phone at Rachel's.
Back at Rachel's Apartment
Rachel awoke to find that Puck had already left. As she was eating breakfast she heard a phone ringing.
It's Noah's. He must have left it here. I shouldn't answer it but it could be important.
"Hello?"
"Noah! You better fucking talk to me! I'm not waiting until you get here!"
"I'm sorry, this isn't Noah. He left his phone at m-"
"Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Rachel Berry. Noah's an old friend of mine. He was staying at my apartment and he left his phone."
"Staying at your apartment! You bitch! I can't believe he left me for some tramp!"
"I'm sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding."
"No, it's all clear! Just stay away from other people's fiances!"
And on that Capri hung up.
Fiance? Noah is engaged? I knew he'd hurt me! I'm such an idiot!
a/n: Whew! Finally! I'm so sorry for the long wait! I didn't even think about writing this until yesterday and before I knew it I had written 14 pages it was pretty insane! Only 2 more chapters! Review please!
