A/N: Hi everyone! Here is chapter 8. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. Please leave a review if you want to and let me know what you thought of this chapter.
A/N Again: So I just realized that I made a big mistake with this chapter, so after some editing I fixed it. I'm sorry about the confusion. College messes with your brain! Anyways, I hope you all like the new chapter.
Rachel slowly opened her eyes to the dimly lit hotel room. She wanted to continue sleeping but the sound of a shower going off in the distance woke her up. She got up and stretched her arms while she then rubbed her eyes. The clock on the table read 4:00. She had gotten about two hours of sleep but that was all she needed to feel at least slightly refreshed.
She heard the shower but thought nothing of it till she heard a scream. Rachel got out of bed and raced towards the bathroom door.
"Will? Are you okay? What's wrong?" she asked. Will opened the door and let her in. He was in his jeans with no shirt on.
"I uh found something else that we did last night," he said.
"What do you mean?" Rachel asked slightly groaning. How many more things could we have done? she thought. Will turned around and showed her his back. Rachel let out a gasp and then a laugh.
"Rachel, this isn't funny," Will said in a serious tone. He really was mad about the who situation.
"Your right. I'm sorry for laughing but I can't believe that you got a tattoo!" Rachel said.
"I can't believe it either! I did a double take in the mirror," he said. "You better check to see if you have one," he added. Rachel's face changed from laughter to seriousness as she didn't even stop to think that she could have one as well.
"I will when I take my shower," she said. "I can't believe that you got a tattoo of my initials and a little gold star Will," she added. Will looked horrified. How could I have done that last night? Will thought. I mean I love her but I didn't think I would end up getting a tattoo for her, he thought.
"It will be okay Will," Rachel said trying to comfort him.
"Okay? How do I explain this one?" he said almost shouting.
"Easy, you just tell people that they are your mom's initials," she said. Will thought for a moment.
"That could work I guess. Hey if we end up staying married then it won't really matter," he said. Rachel smiled at him.
"True. Now go take your shower so I can take mine," Rachel said. Will stood there looking at her.
"I can't anymore Rach, the tattoo remember? I don't think that they can get wet," he said to her.
"Oh right. Well can you leave then while I take mine?" she asked.
"Sure. I'll just be getting dressed. Let me know if you have a tattoo," he laughed as he left the bathroom.
Rachel just grinned at him as she went and shut the door. A tattoo? How funny, Rachel thought. I wonder if there is anything else that we did last night that we haven't noticed yet, she continued to think to herself.
As she took off her clothes to get ready into the warm shower, she scanned her body searching for any sign of ink. She couldn't find one and laughed to herself. Only Will would do something like that, she thought. She stepped into the warm shower and let the water droplets relax her skin. After about twenty minutes, she got out, wrapped herself in a towel, dried off and got dressed.
"Hey Will," Rachel called.
"Yeah?" he said.
"It seems to me that you are the stupid one in this marriage," Rachel said while laughing.
"Wait you don't have one?" he asked slightly angry.
"No, I just checked before my shower and I'm ink free," Rachel said as she smiled at him. Will's face turned to a frown.
"At least if you had one, I wouldn't feel so bad but since you don't I guess I am the bigger idiot," Will said as he sighed.
"It's okay Will. It's just a tattoo. You are lucky you can cover it up," Rachel said.
"Yeah, that's true. It won't be noticeable at school which I'm grateful for. I couldn't imagine explaining that to Principal Figgins and the rest of the glee club," he said. Rachel just smiled at him which he noticed.
"You are enjoying this too much you know?" he said while he grinned at her. "Are you sure you don't have one? Maybe I should check," he said while giving her a seductive look. The mood had noticeably changed which Rachel had noticed.
"Really? You don't trust my inspection skills?" she said while raising an eyebrow up at him and playing along.
"No I don't," he replied with a smirk on his lips.
"Well why don't you come over here and fix that then?" Rachel said. She didn't know where this side of her was coming from but she did know that Will was enjoying it and she was as well. He stood up from the bed and inched closer to her.
She looks so beautiful. I still can't believe I got a tattoo of her initials though. I mean get a grip Will, he said while scolding himself mentally.
He couldn't help himself though and leant into kiss her full inviting lips. It was slow and sweet but turned deep with passion as Rachel wrapped her hand in his hair pulling him closer to her making it deeper. He moaned in pleasure and a smile crept on her face.
Will pulled away though remembering that he had a surprise for her. While she was napping, he left the room to make a call to a fancy restaurant. He thought it was the least he could do for everything that had already happened.
"Rachel," he said while gasping for air while she planted kisses on the base of his neck.
"Yes?" she mumbled barely breaking contact.
"I have a surprise for you," he said. She pulled away and looked into his eyes waiting for him to say more.
"I have made dinner reservations for us tonight in about an hour," he said while smiling at her. She smiled and leant in to give him a hug while he placed a quick kiss on her forehead.
"You didn't have to do that," she said.
"I know, but I wanted to so we need to change," he said. She nodded at him and went over to her suitcase and pulled out a short baby blue dress. She went to the bathroom and put it on while she then put her hair up in a bun and applied light make-up.
When she stepped back out, Will could do nothing but stare. "You look amazing," he said while grinning at her.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself," she said to him. Will had decided on black dress slacks, a white button up undershirt and a black jacket and tie while his hair looked perfect as well. Not to curly and not to flat. He stuck out his arm which Rachel gratefully looped hers through. They smiled at each other as they strolled out of the room.
As they walked down to the lobby and outside, they caught a cab and Will told the driver where to go. In no more than twenty minutes they were at the restaurant. Will got out first and then proceeded over to open the door for Rachel.
She smiled at him and took his hand. They walked to the door and were greeted by the hostess.
"Welcome," she said as she opened the door.
"Thanks you," Will said while Rachel nodded at her.
Will gave the front desk his name and the waiter led them to a table located in the back.
As they sat down, the waiter handed them both menus and said he would return in a couple of minutes to take their order.
Will looked up to Rachel to find that she was studying her menu.
"Find anything?" he asked.
"Yes. What about you?" she asked. He nodded at her. The two made small talk as they waited for the waiter to return. After they ordered, Rachel excused herself and headed to the restroom.
As she walked in no one was in there. She went into one of the stalls but no more than five minutes later she heard the door open. She thought nothing of it so she finished her business and went to go wash her hands. As Rachel was washing her hands, she got distracted and was completely unaware of the person walking out of the stall.
"Rachel?" she heard a familiar voice call her name. She immediately spun around and found none other than Shelby standing there.
"What are you doing here?" Shelby asked. "I thought the National Show Choir competition was yesterday?" she added.
Rachel stammered trying to find the right words.
"It was but uh I am um here with someone," she finally said.
"Really? Who? Are you on a date?" Shelby asked.
"It's something like that. I really should get going back to my table," Rachel said.
"No. If you don't mind, I would like to meet your date," she said as she studied Rachel's face and noticing her worried look.
Great. It's all over for Will and I now, Rachel thought while trying to think of anything to get her to go back to her own table. It was too late though as Shelby was already walking out the door. It wasn't long before Shelby spotted Will at a table and put two and two together.
She looked at Rachel with a look of disappointment on her face. Shelby was trying to find the right words but nothing was coming out.
"How could you?" she finally asked.
"It's not what you think," Rachel tried to reason.
"Excuse me but I would like to know what is going on here," Shelby said as she made her way over their table. Will looked up shocked.
"Shelby," he almost shouted as he choked a bit on his water he was sipping.
"Will," she said rather bitterly back to him.
"What are you doing here?" Will asked.
"I could ask you the same thing. I ran into Rachel in the bathroom." "She said she was on a date with someone and I was curious to see who. I would have never thought that it would be you sitting here with her," she said.
"We aren't dating. We are just grabbing a bite to eat because Rachel was sick and couldn't go home this morning," Will said. What a lame excuse, she is going to find out and I am going to lose Rachel forever, Will thought.
"So you take her to a fancy New York restaurant instead of take out? This sounds like a date to me," Shelby said.
"Do you realize how much trouble you both could be in?" she added almost yelling. People from other tables and booths were getting curious and started looking over at the commotion.
"Can we talk about this outside?" Rachel pleaded.
"No we are going to talk here and now, and Rachel how could you be so stupid? Falling for your teacher?" Shelby yelled.
She looked at Rachel then at Will. Both looked horrified with wide eyes.
"You two are unbelievable," she yelled at both of them. By now everyone in the whole restaurant was looking over at their table, listening to their conversation.
"Shelby if you would let me explain," Will started to say but was cut off.
"No Will. How could you do that? I thought you were an honest man, not one who would take advantage of students," she yelled.
"Shelby please, if you would just let me explain," Will said while getting up out of his chair. Shelby thought for a moment and looked over to Rachel who desperately wanted to finish this conversation outside.
"Fine. You have five minutes," she said.
"Thank you," Will said as he led both of them outside escaping the stares of the people inside. Once outside Will began to explain.
"I know what you are thinking," he started to say. "You don't like the idea of Rachel and I together and I understand because I am her teacher but you should know that we aren't even dating," Will said with hope that she would belive it. There was no way that he would tell Shelby about getting married.
"So? Just because you say you aren't doesn't mean that it isn't true, Will. Do you realize that you could get fired and sent to jail for this?" she asked not believing what he said.
"I'm aware but I care about Rachel and as her teacher I am here for her as only a teacher would be to their students," Will said. Rachel looked up at him with a smile on her face. At least he really does care about me, Rachel thought. She went down and grabbed his hand and tightly squeezed it. He smiled down at her and in that moment it was decided that they would stay married at least for the time being. They didn't need to announce it, they just knew and did eveything they could to not spill their guts and confess everything to Shelby.
Shelby was at a loss for words.
"I just can't believe you two. I know you are lying and I don't care if you two are in love, what you are doing is wrong, illegal and just plain stupid and I do not support it," Shelby said.
"Do your dad's even know Rachel?" she added.
Rachel hesitated for a moment. "No but we are going to tell them when we get back and hopefully they will be more understanding because they actually love me unlike you," Rachel said making a spur of the moment decision.
Shelby shook her head in disgust. "I can't take any more of this. You two go ruin your lives back in Lima. Hopefully the next time I hear about you two is when you Will get thrown in jail for when people find out of you taking advantage of Rachel," Shelby said while meaning every word of it.
She took one last look at the both of them and stormed back into the restaurant leaving Rachel to hide in Will's arms while she cried her eyes out.
A/N: I know a lot of you want a just married night but I couldn't fit it into this chapter. Keep your eyes open though in the next chapter or so for one because I may be writing one.
