Puck unlocked his truck, "Get in Red."
Rachel stared at him. He truly looked just like batman, the way the moon shone behind his head, his cape flowing in the wind, she didn't think she'd ever felt this way about anyone. And then she started to feel worried about what might happen if- No. Nothing would happen. She had control, she knew it. He stared at her, "Berry, seriously. Get. In."
She shook her head, "Oh, of course. Sorry."
He rolled his eyes and got in, turned on the radio, and started driving. Rachel looked at the window blankly, "Noah, where are we going?"
He smiled, "Surprise."
She rested her head on the window, it rattled a little because it was an old truck. He turned on the radio and sang along, but not very well, clearly on purpose though. He turned to her and grabbed her chin, forcing her to face him, "Hey, Rachel. What's up?"
"Just tired, I've never done this, party. Ever."
He laughed loudly, "You are so, funny? I don't know that word, just trust me, when we get where I'm taking you, all your sleepiness with disappear."
She shrugged. About five minutes later they arrived at this little lake. It had a big grassy hill, the grass green and lush. The water was cool to the touch, but perfectly clear, the moon reflected in the lake and the sound of birds flying above them. It was. Beautiful. She ran over to this big tree, "Oh my gosh! This is the tree I used to come to when I was a little girl!"
He chuckled, bringing a basket and a blanket to the tree. He laid down the blanket and the basket and pulled out a bottle of 'juice' and two glasses. Pouring 'juice' into both glasses he handed one to her and drank the other himself. Rachel stared at it, "This isn't, uh, well, um, alcohol, is it?"
"Hell no, Berry, why would I do that?"
"Maybe for the same reason you did with Quinn?"
"Rachel, no. Why would I do that to you? You aren't a slutty cheerleader."
She thought about it for a second, and grabbed the glass, "If you insist." She chugged the whole glass, made a weird face, and handed it back to him. "That is horrible juice. More please."
After about five glasses, each, Rachel was a little tipsy. She took off her shoes and costume, spare her bra and panties. Puck took off all but his boxers, "You sure about this, Berry?"
She nodded, giggling insanely, "Grab my hand."
"Ok," he grabbed her hand, and the two jumped in the water.
Rachel screamed, "Oh my God! This is freezing!"
"Hahaha, it is! Let's hold each other for warmth."
She smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist. He wrapped his arms around her, and grabbed her butt. "Puck!"
He laughed, the kissed her on the lips. She tumbled a little and started to go under, but stopped kissing him and stood back up, "Let's get out of this water."
He ran a couple strides ahead and held her hand as if she were a princess, leading her out of the water. The both toppled over laughing on the grass. Then he started putting his moves on her. He grabbed her waist and pulled her under him, kissing her all the while. She laid patiently, her eyes rolling back into her head. This is what she'd longed for, this is what he'd dressed up for. This is what Rachel had waited for, but right now, she was drunk, and everything else was a blur.
Rachel woke up on her bed, with her costume still on. She shrugged, thinking nothing of it. She got up and took a cold shower, because for some reason her head was pounding like crazy. She got out, got dressed, and blow dried her hair, pulled it into a ponytail and got ready to leave for Kurt's. They had planned on going to the mall today. She got in her little volkswagen beetle. She started driving when her phone rang.
"Hello, Rachel speaking."
Kurt answered on the other line, "Yeah Rach, I know, I called you. Are we still on for the mall?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't we be?"
"I don't know, I thought maybe you were still with Puck."
"Noah? I never even saw Noah last ni-" then she remembered. Rachel had dressed up as Little Red Riding and he had saved her from Karofsky, then they went to a park, and she had some wine, and, everything else was blank. Oh well. "Oh, yeah. I remember now."
"So, what did you guys do after you left?"
"We went to a lake, and then we had a little picnic."
"Ooo romantic."
"I guess, yeah, well I'm almost at your house, so bye."
"Bye."
Rachel pulled into his driveway and he ran out and hopped in, "Blue bug slug!"
"Do you have to do that every time you see my car, Kurt?"
"Let me think. Yes!"
They drove to the mall, grabbed two orange julius, and wandered around the store. The pair passed by Victoria's Secret and Kurt stared loonily, "They don't make this kind of gorgeous undergarments for us you know? You probably don't even realize how lucky you are."
"Can't say I do. Let's go, I hear there is an amazing dress store just a little further down from here."
Kurt skipped to catch up with her, as she hadn't stopped to star at the big Victoria's Secret sign. "Let's go Rachel."
The clerk helped them both find gorgeous things to try on, and they were having so much fun playing dress-up. Neither one planned on buying a dress. Rachel tried on one dress that blew her mind. It was short and white, and the whole thing felt furry. It had a cheetah print belt around the middle. She was this close to buying it, then she looked at the price tag. $1195.00. Rachel didn't know anyone with that kind of money.
She and Kurt left empty handed, and went downstairs to get their nails done. They decided on pedicures first. The lady was almost done with one foot when Rachel's phone rang.
"Hello, Rachel here."
"Hey Berry."
"Hi Noah."
"Did you have fun last night?"
"Yeah, but I don't remember everything."
"Oh, do you remember when we became two wild animals on the grass?"
Her eyes widened, "Oh my gosh! No! I think I need to call you back later."
"Ok babe. Later," his line clicked, and then the dial tone was the only thing to accompany Kurt's nagging voice.
"Well? Rachel! What did he want?"
"He told me we, well you know. That makes him my first."
"Oh my gosh! Tell me everything he said!"
