A/N: Thanks everyone for your positive reviews! Hope you are all having a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Here is chapter 5! Let me know what you thought of it by writing a review.
Will was speed walking down the street with Rachel next to him.
"Where are we going?" Rachel asked.
Will went to open his mouth to answer when his phone buzzed and cut him off. He reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone to notice that he had a text message from Finn.
"Hey Mr. Schue. Just got back into Lima. Everything went fine on the plane except for Puck hitting on the flight attendant. How is Rachel?" the text message read.
"Who is it from?" Rachel asked curiously.
"Finn. They just got back into Lima and he wants to know how you are doing," Will replied.
"Thanks Finn for letting me know. Rachel is doing okay but still a little sick. Not sure when we will be back but hopefully no later than Monday," Will texted back.
As Will sent his message to Finn, Rachel's phone buzzed indicating that she had a text message as well.
"Did Finn write you too?" Will asked.
"No. It's from Mercedes," Rachel said rather confused.
"What does she want?" Will asked curiously. Rachel looked to her phone and read it out loud.
"Hey wut is up wit u and Mr. Schue? I saw u and him go into his room last night and u never came back to our room. R u even sick?" As Rachel read the text out loud her mouth dropped open. Mercedes was on to them. She looked at Will who was just as stunned as she was.
"What do I say?" Rachel asked.
"I don't know. You can't tell her the truth obviously because no one can know that we got married last night. Why not just not write her back?" Will suggested.
"I have to write her back because it will make it even more suspicious if I don't. I'll just tell her that I don't know what she is talking about," Rachel said. She went back to her phone and quickly typed out a message.
"I don't know what you mean Mercedes. I came back to the room and you were all sleeping. I'm feeling a little better but still sick."
"There," Rachel said as she pressed send.
"What did you say?" Will asked.
"That I came back and they were sleeping," Rachel said. After a couple minutes of silence, Mercedes wrote her back.
"Yeah wut ever. I saw him hug u before we left. Sumthin is up," Mercedes answered back.
"We don't have time for you Mercedes," Rachel sighed.
"What does she want now?" Will asked.
"She saw us hug in the lobby so she thinks something is going on," Rachel explained.
"Oh," was all really Will could say. "Come one. We have to keep looking for clues," Will added. Rachel nodded and put her phone away in her pocket. As they continued walking down the street, a voice from behind shouted at them.
"Hey Schuester! Looking for something?" the voice shouted. Will immediately recognized the voice and quickly spun around.
"Dustin? What the hell are you still doing here? Vocal Adrenaline was supposed to go back to Lima today like New Directions," Will asked as his eyes drifted towards his hands. "Is that my wallet?" Will said in surprise.
"I'm here to finish off last night and yes this is your wallet," Dustin said.
"Last night?" Will thought for a moment and it finally clicked in his brain.
"Oh my god. You were the guy hitting on Rachel? Are you insane?" Will shouted at him while Rachel just looked freaked out.
"I'm just as sane as you are seeing as you were out with her last night," Dustin commented. "Not to mention how drunk you two were," he added.
"Why the hell would you flirt with her? She is a student and underage!" Will said while trying to keep his temper down but failing. Dustin out of all people he had to be the guy to flirt with Rachel. I'm glad I got into a fight with him, Will thought to himself.
"You have no room to talk," Dustin said with a smirk on his face. "Is this how you chaperone Will? Take your student out and get them wasted and make them have sex with you?"
Will was shocked. Dustin knew some important information and he could go back to Lima and tell everyone. At least he didn't know about him and Rachel getting married. Knowing what he did know though could still them into some serious trouble. Rachel saw that Will was at a loss for words so she spoke.
"Excuse me but who said anything about sex?" Rachel argued back. "We may have went dancing and drinking but there was no sex involved," Rachel added obviously lying.
"None that you can remember," Dustin fired back.
Will couldn't believe the way Dustin was acting. He wouldn't let him talk to his Rachel that way. Did I just say my Rachel? Will thought. He pushed those thoughts away and spoke to Dustin.
"Look I'm sorry for fighting you but could you please just give me my wallet back so we could be on our way?" Will asked.
"It's not that simple, Will. You want me to give you your wallet back after you got me in a fist fight? No way," Dustin said. "I'm not even sure how you managed to hit me with those tiny baby hands of yours," Dustin laughed.
Will had had enough at this point. "I'm going to give you another chance to hand over my wallet before I finish off last night," Will said in a deep voice while clenching his fist as he inched closer to him. By now Will was just inches away from Dustin's face. He could spit on him if he wanted to which had crossed his mind but decided against it.
"Here take it," Dustin said while holding the wallet just barely above Will's hand. He let it fall and Will caught it. "I already took all your cash anyways," Dustin added while slowly stepping back and smirking.
Will just glared at him and thought of how much he hated him. Rachel could tell that Will was one step away from doing something that he might regret later. There were already too many things on that list and this didn't need to be another one on there.
"Will let's just go," Rachel tried to reason with him as she went down to grab his hand. She felt him relax a little and he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Fine," Will said turning and walking away.
"See you back in Lima, Schuester!" Dustin shouted. "Oh and since when do students call teachers by their first names?" he yelled after them.
"Let's just go back to the hotel or we could go get a coffee and cool down for a bit," Rachel suggested. "Coffee sounds great," Will commented. They did need a break and a coffee sounded good right about now.
They walked down the street and found a coffee shop located on a corner of a very crowded strip of stores. Will opened the door and let Rachel in first. She gave him a small smile and walked up to the front counter to look at the menu.
"Hi what can I get you?" the server asked.
"I'll have a chi tea please," Rachel said. The server looked over at Will.
"Just a regular coffee for me please. Can I also get one of these muffins?" he asked. He noticed Rachel grinning at him.
"What? I didn't get to eat breakfast," he joked.
They waited off to the side till their coffee was ready. Will paid with his credit card since Dustin had in fact taken all his cash. Once everything was paid for they found a table located in the back. Both sipped there drinks quietly enjoying the silence and break to rest their feet.
"So where should we go next?" Rachel asked.
"I'm not sure. I think either a jewelry store since I didn't have a ring when we left Lima or a local wedding chapel," Will stated.
"We should probably go to a jewelry store first then if you didn't have a ring when we left," Rachel explained. Will nodded at her and continued to sip his coffee. He pulled out his muffin and started eating that as well. He noticed Rachel eyeing it and asked if she wanted any of it.
"Would you like some?" Will asked pushing the muffin in her direction.
"Oh no thanks. You bought it so it's yours," Rachel said even though she could feel her stomach growling.
"Come on. I know you want some. As your husband I'm entitled to share," Will said while laughing. Rachel grinned and let out a small laugh.
"Alright, you win," she said as she pulled off a piece of the muffin. She ate it and smiled at him. The first smile she had actually meant since the day began. Everything had been a rush since they woke up this morning. It was nice to feel relaxed and comforted in this small coffee shop in New York City.
Rachel let her mind wander as Will continued to eat his muffin. I wonder how he proposed? Not that it matters, Rachel thought while occasionally looking up to catch a glance from him. In a couple of days we will be divorced anyways, Rachel continued to think. She looked up to find Will staring at her.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah. I was just thinking," Rachel said.
"About what?" Will asked curiously.
Rachel thought for a moment. Did she really want to tell Will that she was wondering how he proposed? He might get the wrong idea and think that she wanted to get married last night.
"This might sound a little weird, but I was actually wondering of how you proposed," Rachel said. "I've always pictured you to be a romantic," she added.
Will choked a bit on his muffin when he heard her say that. "Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but I don't think it would have been too romantic with me slurring the words and stumbling to get back up from kneeling on my knee," Will laughed. Rachel had begun to laugh as well as she pictured a drunk Will stumbling while lowering to one knee.
The laughter died and both went back to their drinks. After gulping down the last of what was in their cups, they got up and headed out the door. Will looked to Rachel who was still smiling which in turn made him smile. For the first time that day he felt happy.
"So to the jewelry shop?" he asked.
"To the jewelry shop!" Rachel answered back.
