Everyone had arrived at BreadstiX and they were all seated at a large circular table. Well, almost everyone.
Sam slammed the passenger's side of Puck's pick-up truck an started walking quite briskly towards BreadtiX's entrance, pulling his dress jacket over him as he did.
"Dude, we are so late." Puck said, catching up to Sam and pressing the button on his truck's keys to lock the doors. "Kurt is going to freak."
"I know I know." Sam said.
Sam and Puck had spent most of the day watching football. So much so that they had lost track of time and now their chilled afternoon of leisure was the reason why they were late to Kurt and Blaine's impromptu engagement party. They both pushed open the double door's of BreadstiX and scanned the room for the rest of their party, which did not take long. The entire restaurant was empty of guests except for the round table in the middle of the room with eleven occupants.
"Well it is about time!" Kurt said as he jumped from his chair quickly and made his way over to the pair, Blaine following suit but in a slower pace then his fiancée. Sam and Puck both extended their hands to shake Kurt's but he slapped them away.
"Why are you so late?" Kurt asked and Sam went to open his mouth but was quickly interrupted. "And if I here an excuse that has to do with a golf ball, foot ball or any kind of ball used in a sport I may kick you in your own personal balls."
Sam and Puck looked at each other for a moment.
"We were...knitting sweaters for orphaned cats." Puck said turning towards Kurt, with a grin on his face.
"Sounds plausible." Blaine said, reaching the three men. He wrapped an arm around Kurt's waist and extended his free hand to Sam and Puck. "Thanks for coming guys."
Both Sam and Puck shook Blaine's hand as well as Kurt's, who extended it out of courtesy.
"Fine, I will let you off this time. But be as late as this for my wedding, and I will unleash Santana on you." Kurt said cheekily. He then turned and made his way back to the table.
"Well your life will never have a dull moment after you're married." Sam laughed.
"I know. And it scares me." Blaine joked.
"And how the hell did you get BreadstiX for the night?" Puck asked
"Well, it helps when you have a wedding planner that is a woman who is extremely demanding and was the number one customer of the restaurant back in the day." Blaine said.
The three of them made their way over to the table. Blaine retook his seat next to Kurt. Puck spotted a free seat next to Finn and made his way over. Sam looked around for the last spare seat and saw it was next to Blaine. Sam sat down on the chair. To his right, Blaine was busy talking with Kurt and Santana who was on Kurt's right. They seemed to be going over wedding details. Not wanting to interrupted, Sam turned to talk to the person on his left.
Quinn.
"Oh, hey Q." Sam said. How did he not see that she was sitting next to him. Now tonight was going to be extremely awkward.
"Wait! No It Won't." Sam thought to himself. "I have apologised and so has she. It will only be awkward if you make it awkward."
"Sam, are you feeling okay?" Quinn asked
"What?" Sam said, focussing his attention.
"Well you said hey then just started staring...creepily." Quinn giggled.
"I did?" Sam questioned again. "Sorry I didn't mean too. I just...I think...I don't...I...crap."
"Sam, don't stress." Quinn assured. "It's like you said; the past is in the past."
Sam gave a little nod. He then stopped and starred at Quinn curiously.
"I don't remember saying such a corny line Miss Fabray." Sam said mischievously
"Oh. Well it must have been implied then." Quinn said quickly, showing a grin as she picked up he wine glass and took a sip. Once she had gulped down a mouthful, she turned her attention back on Sam.
"So, what has Sam Evans been up to since leaving high school?" Quinn asked.
"Not much." Sam said, sinking into his chair. "I moved back to Nashville. Took a course in physical education. Now I'm a personal trainer. Simple as that. What about you?"
Quinn went to talk about her Interior Design work, but was interrupted.
"Okay, okay, okay, everybody listen up."
Santana was standing on the stage which was usually used for karaoke night. She was holding a glass of wine in one hand and the microphone in the other.
"Blaine Anderson and Kurt Hummel." Santana began. "For your entertainment tonight, we have a few surprise performances we would like to share with you."
"Oh Shit." Sam mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Quinn asked, taking her eyes off Santana.
"Um, nothing." Sam said, beaming a false smile. "Could you excuse me for just one second?"
Quinn nodded and Sam shot up from his seat and walked over to Puck, who was looking just as nervous as he was.
"I'm assuming you're kicking yourself as much as I am right now?"
"How the hell could we forget?" Puck asked, throwing his head into the palm of his hands.
"The freaking football is how we forget!" Sam said.
"Thats it, I'm never watching sports again. NO WAIT! I take that back." Puck said quickly, throwing in front of him.
"What do we do?" Sam asked, ignoring Puck's personal remorse for his statement
"Leg it out of here?"
"Puck seriously! What do we do?"
The two paused for a moment before Puck snapped his fingers. "I have an idea."
Quinn watched Sam and Puck converse with each other before Puck snapped his fingers and quickly ran out of the doors, leaving Sam standing by his seat, running his hands through his hair. She then turned her attention back to Santana.
"A few of the former New Directions have put together some numbers for your enjoyment. So sit back, relax and enjoy." Santana concluded before making her way back to her seat. Rachel and Finn had started to make their way onto the stage and Quinn's attention was caught away from them slightly as Puck made his way back through the doors, this time with a guitar case in his hand.
"Before we start, on behalf of Rachel and myself, we could not be happier that you two are getting hitched." Finn said which, Quinn noticed, made tears form in the corners of Kurt's eyes. "And we as well will get so much out of this wedding. When mom and Burt were married, I got a brother. When Rachel and I married, She got a brother-in-law. When you two get married, we get a fantastic, kind-hearted, gentle brother-in-law and with our baby on the way, it will have the best uncle's the world has ever known."
Kurt gave a little hiccup and Blaine wrapped his arm around him for comfort.
"So Kurt, Blaine, this song is for you. It's about finding the one you want to be with and never wanting to let them go."
Finn grasped hands with Rachel as the music started playing and Finn took the first words.
"Over and over I look in your eyes
you are all I desire
you have captured me
I want to hold you
I want to be close to you
I never want to let go"
The couple let go of each other and made their way down to the audience as Rachel completed the rest of the verse.
"I wish that this night would never end
I need to know"
Then the both of them broke into the chorus as they stood in front of Kurt and Blaine, who were both smiling at the couple that was serenading them.
"Could I hold you for for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I (Could I) could I have this kiss forever (forever)
Could I (Could I) could I have this kiss (forever), forever (forever)"
They both returned to the stage and made their way slowly towards one another from either end of the stage's side.
"Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me (next to me)
I want to hold you (hold you) and touch you (hold you) and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end (No No)
Oh baby please"
They had reached centre stage and were staring each other deep in the eye's
"(Could I) Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
(Could I) Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time (just want to hold you)"
As they were inches away from each others faces, they quickly turned back towards the audience
"Could I have this kiss forever
Could I, could I have this kiss forever"
The music ceased and everyone broke into an applause as Rachel and Finn gave little bows before heading off the stage while Santana made her way back onto it again, grabbing one of the microphones of the couple as she did.
"Well wasn't that beautiful?" Santana said sweetly but somewhat sarcastically. "I thought we were about to have an incident like we did at nationals for a second at the end there but no, crisis averted.
Both Rachel and Finn blushed as everyone laughed at Santana's open thought.
"Anyway, moving on." Santana said. "Next to grace the charming couple with their charming voices are, what I consider, to be the sexiest male sing partners I have ever seen." Santana was putting on a showman voice, making the group laugh as she welcomed the next act. "Ladies and Gents, please put your hands together for Sam Evan's and Noah "Puck" Puckermaaaaaaaan."
Everyone clapped as Sam and Puck finished their last minute "group session." The whole time while Rachel and Finn had been singing, Sam and Puck had quickly been coming up with ideas for a song they were meant to sing for Blaine and Kurt. A song they should have thought of when Santana had called them late last night to tell them so but they had forgotten about because they had decided to watch the football, which was what Sam considered to be, at the time, more important.
"Okay, so are we clear?" Puck asked. "I play my guitar, you sing."
"Yeah." Sam said. "Wait, how come your only playing?"
"Because I can't play and sing at the same time."
"Yes you can, you did it all the time in Glee Club."
"Because I haven't sung in a while."
"Dude, it's like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it."
"Boys, we are waiting." Santana yelled from the stage.
"Okay, how about it's because I don't feel like it and if you don't, I will tell Kurt that you actually suggested watching another football game tonight, which would've made our arrival time here even later?" Puck said
"What are you waiting for, get your ass up there and play me some chords!" Sam said quickly, shoving Puck onto the stage. Sam followed and took the microphone of Santana before turning his attention towards Blaine and Kurt.
"Kurt and Blaine, Puck and I are very happy for you. And to...um...express our happiness, we are going to sing about doing your best to keep the one you love.
Sam looked over to Puck and gave him a nod, who then started strumming on his guitar and Sam started to sing.
"Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back"
Sam began to walk along the edge of the stage.
"Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn, to win some or learn some"
As he walked around the stage, his attention was caught by Quinn. Even though she was sitting in dimmed lighting, Sam, for some unknown reason kept looking at her and as he continued to sing, it seemed as though he was singing to her.
"But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours"
Sam snapped out of his phase and quickly turned his attention back to Blaine and Kurt.
"Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't, there's
No need to complicate cause our time is short this
Oh this oh this oh this is our fate, I'm yours."
Puck stopped his strumming and Sam handed his microphone back to Santana as he and Puck made their way off stage, Sam moving much quicker. He did not return to his seat, but made his way to the bar at the back of the room, where he sat down to watch the rest of the show and to hide from someone in particular.
Quinn sat in her chair, a little confused after seeing Sam perform. "Was he singing to me? No, why would he, Quinn get serious. Then again, he was staring."
"Alright, we have one performance left." Santana announced, who was now wearing a microphone headset and was holding another two in each hands. "And my personal opinion is that it is going to be the best performance of the evening."
"Oh please." Rachel silently muttered under her breath, which earned her a look from Finn.
"Could Britt and Quinn make there way up onto the stage to literally knock the socks off everyone." Santana said.
Brittany ran from her seat and grabbed one of the headsets out of Santana's hand. Quinn followed and while she walked to the stages stairs, she glanced over at Sam, who was staring blankly up at the stage waiting for the next performance to start. Quinn joined her friends in the centre of the stage and put on the last remaining headset.
"Now, unlike everyone else who just performed, if you can call it that-"
"Santana!" Brittany hissed
"What, I speak the truth." Santana exclaimed. Quinn shook her head at her friends egotistical nature. "As I was saying, we, unlike everyone else, will be doing performance complete with altered lyrics for the loving couple."
"And we did all of this to show that we love the two of you and we wish you guys a lifetime of happiness." Quinn said to Blaine and Kurt. "Enjoy."
The three girls took their positions. Each girl had their backs to the audience as the music began to play, music with a strong beat that had the rest of the club "jigggying" along with it. Then Brittany turned around and started to sing while holding a card in one hand and a pen in the other.
"Dear Blaine,
He's a lucky guy
I'm, like, gonna cry
I got tears coming out of my nose
Mad props!
He's McKinley's catch
You're a perfect match
Cause you both have such great taste in clothes
No surprise that he propoooooosed."
Santana, walked forward with a separate card, but took the pen from Brittany's grasp.
"Dear Kurt,
Honey Mazel Tov
future's taking off
You're both so hot
that's clear to me"
Quinn ran right over to Santana and began to sing as well, snatching the card and pen out her hands playfully.
"I'd feel
Really nervous but
You must be psyched or what?
You all wish you could've been there to seeeeee"
All three girls joined together.
"When he got down on one kneeeeeee"
"Omigod
Omigod, you guys
Looks like Klaine's gonna win the prize
If there ever was a perfect couple, this one qualifies
Omigod, you guys"
"Omigod, we should all embrace
Cause this Warbler loves Lady Face
Finally they'll be married and their union will certified
Omigod, you guys"
"OMIGOD!"
Quinn grabbed the other card off Brittany and continued to sing as the other two followed in a line
"Okay,
Everybody signed, good
Now fall in line
And we'll start the engagement parade"
Santana grabbed Brittany by the shoulders very dramatically.
"Stand still, stay in single file
Don't forget to smile
Lose the gum Britt, you look like a tart"
"Sorry!"
"Now what we sing comes from the heaaaaaart."
They started to creep around the stage, Brittany and Quinn singing in whispers.
"Omigod
Omigod, you guys
Looks like Klaine's gonna win the prize"
"SHH!"
"If there ever was a perfect couple, this one qualifi-"
"SHH!"
"Omigod, you-"
"GUYS, I'M SERIOUS!"
Quinn stopped creeping and ran forward, with Brittany and Santana close behind.
"Kurt and Blaine were meant to be"
"But once Kurt did try to hit on me"
"SHUT-UP!"
"There just like that couple from Titanic"
"Only they're both guys"
"Omigod!"
The girls moved to a triangle formation, with Quinn at the point and Brittany and Santana on either side
"Two! Three! Four!"
"We know your love is true
That's why you're fiancées
Now that a man loves you
Your life begins today"
"Make him a happy home
Have sex during the day
And so he does not roam
Don't bother with foreplay"
"Still in your hour of need
Don't be afraid to call
Any advice you need,
That's what we're here foooooooor"
"Omigod
Omigod, you gu-"
The girls cut themselves off and began to act a little scene out, something the audience found quite hysterical for Brittany had suddenly dropped to the ground and seemed to be acting like some kind of animal.
"Girls, he's not here."
"Britt, where is Kurt?"
"(Bark)"
"He realized her doesn't have an engagement venue?"
"(Bark)"
"He's totally freaking out?"
"(Bark)"
"He's trapped under a pile of bricks!"
Brittany quickly stood up.
"For christ sake. I said at BreadstiX"
The girls paused before quickly throwing their hands up in the air and running around in circles.
"Omigod girls, emergency!"
"Don't take the freeway!"
"Hey, wait for me!"
"No one should be left alone to pick a place for party hires"
"Omigod, you guys!"
"Omigod
Omigod
Omigod
Omigod
OMIGOOOOOOOD!"
Quinn ran to the centre front
"Omigod
Omigod, you guys
All last night I had butterflies
Every time I look at them I can't help it, but I start to cry
Omigod you guys"
Santana ran over to Quinn and linked arms with her on her right.
"We'll rent this place for their fairytale
For a price that won't be on sale."
Brittany linked with Quinn's arm, mimicking Santana
"But love is , like, forever.
This is no time to economize
Omigod, you guys"
The girls all then looked around the room and nodded in agreement.
"Omigod
Omigod, you guys
This place is perfect and its a great size
See, dreams really do come true, you never have to compromise
Omigod."
"Omigooooood
Omigod you guys
Let's set up before someone cries
If there ever was a perfect couple, Klaine does qualify
Cause we love you guys!
Kurt suddenly screamed out the next lines before the trio could
"No, I love you guys!"
"Omigod"
"Omigod"
"Omigod"
The the girls belted the last notes
"You guuuuuuuuuuuys!
OMIGOD!"
The song cut off and everyone jumped up and started applauding the trio. The girls took their headsets off and walked off the stage down to the engaged couple.
"So what did you think?" Santana asked
Kurt was literally crying with happiness as he hugged each of the girls. Blaine was less emotional but still had the same amount of gratitude in his simple pecks on their cheeks.
"Well well well. Looks like the Unholy Trinity has still got it." Blaine said, speaking directly to Quinn at this point. But Quinn was distracted. Sam hadn't gotten up and come over to them like everyone else. He remained on the bar stool at the back of the room, sipping from a glass. Quinn made her way over to him.
"Good job up there." Sam said as Quinn approached him. "Your voice is still as good as ever I see."
"Thank you." Quinn said. "And right back at you, especially seeing as you improvised the whole thing."
Sam lifted his head and notice Quinn had a quirked eyebrow.
"How did you know?" Sam asked
"Sam, after the amount of times we rehearsed "Lucky" for glee club, I can tell when you haven't practiced or not." Quinn said as she poured herself a small drink and hopped up on a bar stool next to him. "And compare that to your impromptu performance of "Don't Stop" for your brother and sister, you tend to stare a lot when you haven't gone over a song a lot."
Sam rubbed the back of his neck out of awkwardness as he took another sip of his drink. "Great, then she did know i was staring at her. Good job Sammy."
"Yeah, Q about the whole staring at you when I was meant to be serenading Kurt and Blaine...that was...well I don't know what it was to tell you the truth." Sam said. He was actually lost for words to say because he really didn't know why he had stared at Quinn during his song.
"Sam. I have no idea what you are talking about." Quinn said casually. Perhaps a little too casually. "But if I did I would tell you not to worry about it."
Sam smiled. He knew Quinn was trying to protect his pride from being embarrassed, something she had always tried to do, most of the time. The two of them sat their for a while, basking in the silence until Quinn spoke up again.
"So, are you heading back home anytime soon?"
"Well I was planning to leave tomorrow but seeing as the wedding is happening in a few days I thought I might just fly straight to New York instead." Sam answered, shivering slightly
"What's wrong?" Quinn asked, noticing Sam give a little shake. "Are you cold or something?"
"What? No." Sam said. "No I just have a bit of a fear of flying."
"You're kidding!" Quinn said, putting her drink down on the bar. "Me too."
"Get out of town." Sam asked, also putting his drink down. "Did you know Santana does as well? I ran into her at the airport and she said so herself."
Quinn had to hold back a laugh, remembering how Santana had covered for her.
"Wow, Imagine that. But yeah, when I made the move up to New York it was my first time on a plane. I wanted to make it my last." Quinn said. She felt slightly nauseous even talking about it. "I just don't like the idea of being up in the air with nothing supporting you from dropping to your death."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. You should've seen me when I got here in Lima."
"I know, you looked-"
But Quinn cut herself off. She was not about to embarrass herself by telling Sam she had hidden behind an airport pot plant when she had first seen him looking sick as a dog.
"I mean, I know what you must've looked like." Quinn said quickly, covering up her slip of the tongue while Sam looked at her curiously. "I bet I looked and felt exactly the same."
They both didn't say anything for a while. They just sat there, listening to the music that had started and watching everyone dance either on or around the stage. Then suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Sam's head.
"Hey, here's an idea." Sam said, making Quinn sit up slightly from her slumped position. "Why don't we drive up to New York instead."
Quinn paused for a moment to think.
"You mean we as in you and I?"
"Yeah."
"Together?"
"Yeah"
"By ourselves for about eight-ten hours?"
Sam could tell Quinn was uncomfortable with the idea and he realized he couldn't blame her. Spending that much time with each other alone would be extremely uncomfortable.
"Or it could be great." Said a voice in Sam's head, but he chose to ignore it.
"Actually never mind. It was just an idea." Sam said as he went to get up and make his way back to the rest of the party. But Quinn grabbed his arm. She may regret it but for some reason her heart was telling her to just go for it.
"No, lets...lets do it." Quinn said as Sam sat back on his stool. "Lets drive up. I can cancel my flight and we can hire a car."
Sam couldn't help but grin his goofy smile, which Quinn also smile.
"Great, well then it's settled. We'll drive up tomorrow." Sam said, picking up his glass and extending it out to Quinn. She as well raised her class.
"Cheers."
"Cheers."
And they clicked their drinks together and each took a sip, catching each other's eyes as they did.
