i don't own ANYTHING!
"Get ready to be wooed." Puckerman snickers at me as I walk into glee club.
What does he have under his sleeve, I wonder?
I take a seat at my usual spot at the top right seat. I have to say I'm kinda nervous.
Oh my gawd! Is my hair ok? I apply a fresh coat of lip gloss. (Just in case my hair is messy, he'll be distracted by my shiny red lips.)
Everyone sits down and Puckerman says to Mr. Shue, "I have my love song ready. Can I perform it now?"
Song? Did he say song? No ones ever sang to me before…I wonder which song he'll sing….Rhythm of Love maybe? Or maybe somewhere only we know? God I love somewhere only we know! I would love him forever! Faster by Matt Nathanson is not bad either… or mayb…
My thoughts get cut off as the song begins to play.
He picks up his guitar and starts to sing, "Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Ah, down beside that red firelight;"
It's funny how familiar this song sounds.
"Are you gonna let it all hang out?"
Oh my God! It hits me. I know exactly what this song is! Is he really singing this song to me?
"Fat bottomed girls;
you make the rockin' world go round."
I don't know whether to be offended or flattered. But I can't help but smile when his eyes meet mine.
"Hey.I was just a skinny lad.
Never knew no good from bad,
But I knew life before I left my luxury,
Left alone with big fat Fanny,
She was such a naughty nanny!
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me!
Hey, hey!"
Wow! This guy can really sing! He starts walking toward me so; I casually take my glasses off. Rachel, Mercedes, and finally Santana (ha-ha) lean forward to look at me, mouths wide open.
"I've been singing with my band
Across the wire, across the land,
I seen ev'ry blue eyed floozy on the way, hey
But their beauty and their style
Wear kind of smooth after a while.
Take me to them lardy ladies every time!"
It's kinda sad, now that I think about it.
I make sure I keep a smile on my face. My heart is eating up every second of this, but my
head is saying that he can't have me just yet.
"(C'mon)
Oh won't you take me home tonight?
Oh down beside your red firelight,
Oh and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round"
All of a sudden he's standing next to me, staring right into my eyes. I can't help but stare back. He has the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen.
"Hey listen here,
now I got mortgages on homes
I got stiffness in my bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality. (I tell ya!)
Oh, but I still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure.
Heap big woman you done made a big man out-of me!
Now get this!"
Santana looks so jealous! This is great! I pretend to be extra-wooed just for the sake of her jealousness.
"Oh, you gonna take me home tonight (please)
Ah, down beside that red firelight
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round"
After the second time he says "round", he spins and says "yeah" just inches away from my lips.
When I kissed Puckerman that day during passing period in the janitor's closet, his lips were soft and moist. He tasted like Doritos. Not that crappy nacho cheese kind, the spicy sweet chili ones. (Which happen to be my favorite.) Now I regret ever leaving that closet on that one Wednesday afternoon. I could have stayed entwined in his arms all day. And oh, what strong arms he has…..
"GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE
Oooh yeah oh yeah them fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls
Yeah yeah yeah
all right
ride 'em cowboy
Fat bottomed girls
Yes yes"
Puckerman finishes the song and everyone gets up and leaves. Some of them high-five him on the way out. Santana walks up to him and says something and turns around and points at me as she walks out. (Ha-ha) I think I win.
He directed his attention to me as he started walking. What do I do? I can't just melt into his arms. (Plus… that song was offensive. Not romantic.) I get what he's trying to say; that's he's into me for me. But still…
"Whaddya think?" he finally speaks when he stops a couple feet in front of me. "that was kind of my love song to you. You're on the heavier side, but like the song says, I'm kinda into it." I put my glassed back on.
"Yeah, I don't think you're ready to handle this jelly…" I say.
"But I sang to you." He says almost like I just broke his heart. I think I just broke my own heart.
"Yeah. An offensive song." Sorry Puckerman. I stand up and leave him standing there in awe with his guitar.
The hallway is empty. I walk to my locker; my eyes getting misty as I get my books and go to French class.
I'm walking down the hall and I turn the corner and run right into Finn. Crap! I can't let him see me crying! He's Puckerman`s best friend!
"Oh! Hi…Lauren. Sorry" Finn sounds really surprised
"Uhhh, hi. It's ok" I try to keep myself from shedding any visible tears. I fail. Miserably.
"Hey, are you ok? Why are you crying?" what am I supposed to say? My options are either; 1) I stubbed my toe or 2) the truth.
"I….uhhh" I manage to mutter
"You know, what puck sang to you…..he meant it in a good way. He always talks about you. Did you know that? He really likes you Lauren." I stare at him blankly. "Wait…..that's not why you're crying is it?"
"No. not entirely, anyway. You see, I really like him too. I'm just not that easy. So I rejected him….again. And I broke my own heart; I'm afraid he'll call it quits. You know?" whoa, where did that come from? I'm almost as surprised with myself as Finn seems.
"Well, if he seems like he's gonna stop chasing you, which I think he won't, I'll talk to him for you." Finn smiles the biggest white guy smile I've ever seen
"Really?" I ask
"Really." He replies.
"Thanks Finn." I smile. "Oh, and could we keep this little conversation between us?"
"Sure" Finn says.
"I never knew you were so….understanding" I say with a sniffle and then a small laugh
"I never knew you would be the one crying over puck" he replies. We both laugh "I always thought I would first" he added
This was the start of a great friendship.
woaaaa! you weren't expecting that were you? whats next? is she gonna want Finn after his heroic act?
or will she still fall for the mohawk wearing badboy? stay turned to find out!
