I do not own Glee, LA Temptation, Inglourious Basterds (or anything from the movie), Dancing With the Stars, American Idol or Patron. If I did I'd probably be rich…

And I meant to add this last chapter but I forgot. The condo website is: highrises .com with the rest of the stuff after from chapter 3. I'm absolutely in love with it :D


It turns out, that 'will you be my girlfriend' sex with Rachel Berry is one word. Amazing. They did it once, but right after she was ready for round two. Rachel didn't even care that their friends were in the condo.

"Noah, touch me." He was resting against the pillow after just finishing with her. Puck looks over at her with his eyebrow raised. "Please?" She bites her lip.

Puck leans over and runs his hand up her thigh. "Ready for round two already?" She whimpers when his finger teases her fold, feeling how wet she is. "Fuck Rachel." Her legs spread open wider and he inserts a finger. He teases her slowly, removing it slowly.

"God, Noah I need more." She throws her leg over his torso and scoots up.

He smirks and grips the back of her thighs, pulling her forward until he can lick her clit. She moans loudly and arches her back. One hand reaches up to her breast, massaging it then rubbing his thumb over her hardened nipple. Her hips thrust towards his mouth when he licks up her center. Puck can feel her thighs trembling. She's close. He inserts two fingers and while she fucks them, he sucks on her bundle of nerves. "Come for me Rach." Her head falls back, her hair falling onto his thighs.

She screams out his name and once she's done, she tries to catch her breath, reaching behind herself to rub her hand up his length. He's hard again, but how could he not be when he has her on top of him. Rachel eases back until she rubs against his cock, reaching over to her nightstand to roll a condom onto him. Once she does, she sits on him fast, and he moans loudly, grabbing her shoulders and pull her to him. He kisses her, Rachel sucks his tongue tasting herself and moaning. Her nipples rub against his chest and she moves her hips up and down.

What came out of Puck's mouth, turned Rachel on even more. And she was almost positive that Santana, Brittany, Finn and Mike were going to hate how loud she was probably going to get.

"Rach, ride me harder." He squeezes her thighs and she instantly does his request. Her hands find their way to the white metal frame that somewhat serves as a headboard and squeezes tight.

Even though she's riding him pretty roughly, Puck starts to thrust up into her. Gripping her hip and thigh, he feels her walls clenching around himself so he begins to rub her clit until she screams his name and he's releasing with her. Rachel collapses onto his chest, kissing his collarbone every now and then.

"You made me see stars." Puck laughs at her comment and pushes her hair back that's slightly wet in places from her sweating.

"I think I just saw black." Rachel pushes at his chest and stands up, a bit wobbly but then walks over to her closet.

Puck tosses the condom into the trashcan next to her nightstand and stands up, pulling up his jeans. He pulls on his shirt and walks over, wrapping his arms around her still naked waist. She's trying to decide on what to wear so he looks with her, then leans over to pluck out a shirt, the pink shirt from Disney that she bought, the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland on it. Then he turns towards her dresser, opening up random drawers until he finds what he's looking for. White shorts and some lace panties and bra.

"Now stop thinking about it." He smirks and sits on the bed to pull on his socks and shoes.

Rachel rolls her eyes and puts on the clothing, but then feels something being thrown at her back. "What's this?" She picks up her knee socks and purses her lips at him.

"What? They're hot." He shrugs and watches as she pulls them up her legs. He moans and even though they're her uniform socks, they're still sexy as hell with what she's wearing.

Mike knocks and yells, literally yells, through the door. "When you two are done fucking around, the food just got delivered. We may not be able to hear you though because we all have ear plugs in."

Puck looks over as she blushes. "Don't listen to them. We'll probably need the ear plugs once you tell Britt and San that you're my girlfriend. Fuck, Finn and Mike might scream like girls too." He smirks as she tilts her head back and laughs.

She walks over and puts her arms around his neck. "My boyfriend is so sexy, I can't help but be loud." Rachel pecks his lips then opens her door, peeking down the hall. Their friends are sitting around the coffee table with Chinese cartons, plates and beer cluttering it.

They walk down the hall, holding hands and just stand in front of them. Puck crosses his arms over his chest. Rachel gets frustrated that they don't notice them and screams out, "Hey!" All their heads snap up and they take out their ear plugs one at a time. "First off, where did you guys even get ear plugs?"

"For the plane when Amanda falls asleep and we're stuck near her. She snores pretty loud." Brittany smiles but then frowns at Rachel. "You two were really loud. I feel bad for our neighbors."

"There's a good reason for it." Rachel blushes and looks to Puck.

He rolls his eyes. "I asked Rachel to be my girlfriend and that was her reply." Puck laughs when she turns as red as a lobster. He pulls her into a hug.

As he predicted, Brittany screams loudly and Santana squeals a little but then laughs as Puck plugs his ears. They both get up and hug Rachel, then Puck hugs them back. They all look to Finn and Mike who have their jaws open.

"You…what?" Finn stares at him.

"Asked Rachel to be my girlfriend." He says slowly and stares at Finn, wondering if he's okay.

"I think he's catatonic." Santana laughs and moves her way over to Finn, shoving his shoulder but he doesn't move.

"You. Not single?" Mike stares at him then looks to Rachel.

"Are you sure they like me?" Rachel looks up to him nervously, her eyes slightly shiny.

"Alright fuckers. Stop it, you're worrying her." Puck pulls her in close to him but looks to Brittany who looks like she's about to cry. "Oh God. Britt what's wrong?" He pulls her into his other side as she starts to cry.

"Britts, Rach, don't cry." Santana looks at them both and it looks like she's trying to hold back her own tears.

Puck pushes the blonde and his small brunette together then walks behind Mike, slapping the back of his head. "Get your head out of your ass and apologize to our girls for making them cry."

Mike finally snaps out of it and looks from Puck to the two girls. "Britt, I'm so sorry." He holds out his arms and she runs over, sitting in his lap. "Why are you crying?"

"Why don't you and Finn like Puckleberry? They're awesome. And Rachel is my best friend, how could you worry her like that?"

"I'm just surprised that Puck has a girlfriend, that's all. He hasn't had one since high school. It just means that she's really special. Of course we like her." Mike stands up and pushes Brittany towards Puck, who grabs onto him, then walks over to Rachel. He holds out his arms like he did with her best friend. "I'm really happy for you two." She smiles up at him and hugs him tightly.

"Thank you Mike." She looks over to Finn and bites her lip.

Finn is looking at Santana and babbling like a baby. The Latina is just staring at him, confused and her eyebrows scrunched together. Puck ignores him and sits on the floor, motioning for Rachel to come over. She sits down and starts to pile food onto her plate, Puck doing the same. Santana eventually rolls her eyes at Finn and starts the movie.

It just gets to the part where the Jews have come into the screen with the German hostages and everyone is done eating, nursing beers. Santana is leaning against the loveseat, Mike and Brittany sitting on the end of the couch cuddling. Puck is leaning against the couch, Rachel leaning into him and his arm is hanging over her right shoulder. Right when the Bear Jew (Puck's favorite character in this movie) raises the bat to hit the guy, Finn screams.

"OH MY GOD!"

Rachel jumps and drops her beer, breaking on contact with the hardwood floor. She puts her hand over her chest and everyone snaps their head to Finn. His eyes are wide, jaw slightly ajar.

"You two are officially a couple?"

"Dude, you're just now joining the fucking program?" Puck is irritated that they'll have to go back a few scenes for the girls to catch up in the movie.

"You need to tell Holly."

"Can't that wait? I'd like to enjoy watching this fucking awesome movie, hang out with my girl and my friends then relax a little."

"Whatever. Do it soon. And congrats." He gives them a lopsided grin then looks up to the TV and finishes his food.

"Pause the movie right before he hits the guy. I'm going to clean this up. Rach, don't move since you don't have any shoes on. There's fucking glass everywhere."

Brittany sighs happily and looks to Rachel. "Puckleberry is awesome."

"Yeah they are." Mike joins in and kisses the top of Brittany's head while Puck cleans up the mess.

When it gets to the slower part of the movie, where the girl is working at the theatre, Santana gets up and brings out the shot glasses, salt shaker, lime wedges and Patron. "We got things to celebrate and in true…us…fashion, Britts, Rach and I bought some tequila after practice." She pours the first round of shots then holds hers up. "To Puck on his fucking awesome role he just got and to Puckleberry!"They all raise their glasses and clink them together.

Hours later, they're all laughing when the movie is over. Brittany and Santana are quoting the 'eye-talian' parts while Finn just laughs hysterically on the floor. Mike begins to join in, laughing and trying to quote things but it comes out as a jumbled mess of babbling.

Rachel looks at her friends then leans over to suck on Puck's earlobe and bunches up the front of his shirt. She whispers into his ear, "Can I call you the bear Jew in bed tonight? You would look so sexy dressed like him. Your muscle shirt and suspenders. God I want you." She kisses down his neck then up his jaw.

"Are you horny baby?" He looks down into her eyes as she nips at his jaw.

"And you in that military uniform." She straddles his lap. "Take me to my room. Now."

Puck lifts her up, legs wrapping around his waist. "We're going to bed."

Everyone looks up at them. Brittany seems to get the idea of what they're going to do, so she pulls at Mike's hand. "Mike, I want to have sex too." Brittany goes into their room with Mike waving at the rest of them.

"C'mon Finn, you can stay in my room." Santana pulls him up and drags him towards her room. "Turn everything off." She yells back at them.

Puck looks around while Rachel's lips are still fastened to his neck. He somehow manages to turn the TV off, make sure the door is locked and all the lights are off. How did he get stuck doing this when he didn't live here? And especially since they were going to go disappear first. But his lips finds her and he navigates to her room, closing the door and dropping her onto the bed.

Rachel strips down and looks up at Puck. "C'mere Bear Jew." She bites her lips as his eyes get darker. He crawls over her and licks her lips then kisses her deeply. "You gonna hit me with that Louisville slugger?" She giggles and pulls off his shirt.

"God. As many times as you want."


The next morning, Puck and Rachel sit in the kitchen checking their email on their phones. Finn and Santana walk in, both grabbing coffee and a muffin that Rachel made. Santana has her head on the table and mumbles.

"What?" Puck looks over at her.

She moves so her cheek is on the table and looking at him. "I said, I hate you Rach, why can't you get hangovers."

Rachel laughs and gets up to get her friend some aspirin. "Here San." She kisses the top of her hair and sits back down.

"I love you." Santana pops the pills into her mouth and drinks it down with coffee.

Puck laughs at the two and looks back down at his phone. Finn looks over to his friend. "Did I imagine this, or did I hear someone scream 'Teddy fuckin' Williams knocks it out of the park! Fenway Park on its feet for Teddy fuckin' Ballgame! He went yardo on that one, out to fuckin' Lansdowne Street!' last night? I know it was in the movie but…I just remember hearing it in my dream."

Puck starts to laugh really hard and even Rachel can't help but giggle too. "I think you heard it in your dream man." Puck looks down at his phone, trying to stop laughing but then instantly stops.

"What's wrong Noah?" Rachel looks over to him.

"Holly texted me saying that some girl is claiming she was with me in New York yesterday and went to a magazine about it."

"You need to tell her about you and Rach. Make an official statement and that should cool down on some things." Puck gets up and walks out onto the patio to make a call.

Rachel finishes her coffee and stretches her arms up. She looks to Puck when he comes back in. "What time do you have practice?"

"At two. Is something wrong?"

"No, but I figured we could meet Holly for lunch to tell her about our relationship. And I think she wants to work something out about getting the news out about me getting the role. What do you think Finn?"

"Yeah. The role is yours and I'm sure the director and producer won't mind. It'll get some hype up about the movie." Finn's phone rings at that exact moment. He lifts his eyebrows and walks to the living room. After a few minutes they hear the phone hit the ground and he walks back to the table. No phone in hand.

"What's wrong?" Santana looks at him, putting her hand on his forearm.

"Quinn got the role."

Puck spits out coffee everywhere, apologizing to Rachel and Santana while getting up to get a paper towel. "This is such bullshit." He mutters while cleaning up the brown liquid then throwing it in the trash. "I need to go work out."

"Let's wake up Mike then. It's gym day anyways." Finn gets up and walks over to Brittany's room.

"I'll come get you around eleven alright?" He kisses Rachel's temple and nods to Santana. The taller girl groans at him and puts her head back down on the table.

"It's too early." Santana says to no one in particular.

"We're usually up around 8 anyways San." Rachel puts her dishes up in the sink.

"Not when we all kill a bottle of Patron." Rachel laughs and walks down the hall to the bathroom. She hops into the shower and hears the guys leaving the apartment.


Puck is spotting Mike on the bench while Finn stands off to the side. "So you're telling me that Quinn is going to be playing your girlfriend in this movie?"

"Yep. She'll probably fuck up kissing scenes just so we have to keep doing them over and over again. Quinn got a little too into it during the audition."

"She was always a good kisser though." Finn shrugs, trying to be helpful.

"Dude, she's alright but Rachel is so much better."

"So you and Rachel huh?" Mike puts up the bar and wipes his face. They all make their way to the treadmills next. "Gotta say, I'm happy you didn't fuck this up."

"He hasn't fucked up yet." Finn adds in.

Puck reaches over and punches his arm. "She's different. We were making out after I told her I got the part and she said she was proud of me."

Finn nearly falls over on his treadmill after he loses his footing. "She what?"

"Are you serious?" Mike looks over at him, jumping up on the sides so he isn't running for a minute, Finn doing the same. "She really said that?"

"Yeah. Do you know how fucking long it's been since someone said that to me?"

"Your first movie." They say at the same time.

"Exactly. It's like she knows what to say at the right moment." Puck picks up the pace, puts in his headphones and starts to run a little faster.

Finn and Mike exchange a look before they plug in their headphones and start run again.


When Rachel walked into the restaurant she was expecting to see an ugly girl with glasses for a publicist that Puck wouldn't want to throw up against a door to fuck. But instead she see is greeted by a girl with curly light brown hair and bright ocean blue eyes. She kisses Puck's cheek and Holly has to be at least 5'6" without heels on with legs a model would kill for and a 34 C bra. She could be on the cover of Playboy.

"Rachel! It's so nice to meet you." Holly pulls her into a big hug. She didn't hear him introduce them. The girl pulls back but keeps her hands on Rachel's shoulders as she looks her up and down. "Hmm.." She smiles as Puck sits down.

The petite girl takes a good look at Holly when they sit down. Tight tank top, designer jeans, sunglasses and high heels. Does she make all her money off Puck alone? Holly sets her phone on the table and puts her purse on the back of her chair. Also designer. Rachel suddenly feels cheap in her boots, jeans and shirt, ready to go to practice and sweat off all her makeup.

"Rach?" Puck looks over to her.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"What would you like to drink?" He looks up to the waiter.

"Oh, water. Thanks." The waiter smiles and looks to Holly.

"White wine." Early much? Rachel holds back rolling her eyes.

"And you sir?"

"Water's good." Puck puts his hand on Rachel's thigh. "Alright, so how do you wanna do this?"

"Well you two have been photographed together already and they know you're not worried about PDA." Her eyes flash to Rachel. "So we can just confirm to a few sites and get word out that way. It'll spread like wildfire. Just go out and get photographed holding hands, acting like a couple."

"Alright, sounds easy enough." Puck winks at Rachel and all she does is smile.

Holly taps her screen. "And you have a game on Friday correct?"

"Yes, I do."

"Great. Puck can go. Could you kiss before the game so that someone will capture it? This will get your team a lot of attention as well."

"You want me to stage when I kiss Noah?"

"Noah?" Holly looks between the two carefully.

"Yeah, she calls me by my name. Is that a problem?" Puck looks at her with an eyebrow arched.

"Of course not." Holly smiles and taps away on her screen more.

"Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom. Noah, could you order me a house salad with Italian dressing if he comes back out?"

"Sure babe." Puck smirks at her.

Rachel hurries to the bathroom and pulls her phone out, pressing a number on speed dial. "San?"

"Whatcha need Rach?" Her friend mumbles on the other line.

"This woman has been turning her nose up at me since the moment I got here."

"I'm sure you're exaggerating Rachel."

"She looks like a freaking model! She gave me the stink eye when I said Noah."

"Now I know you're full of shit."

"She wants us to stage a kiss on Friday before the game and to deliberately get photographed!" She whispers harshly.

"You are dating an actor. This shit is going to happen." She sighs. "Want me to 'run into you guys' so I can check her out?"

"Would you?"

"The shit I do for you Berry."

"I love you! I'll text you the restaurant name. We're sitting outside."

Rachel walks back outside and sees Holly with her head back and laughing while Puck keeps explaining something. She sits down quietly and takes a sip of her drink. Holly is talking animatedly about a client of hers and some stuff that she had to get the girl out of. Puck is laughing when she sees Santana out of the corner of her eye. Rachel just smiles as her salad is placed in front of her, waiting for Puck to notice Santana. It didn't even seem like it was that long since she called her best friend, but the two were busy talking about other things.

"San?" Puck waves her over.

"Hey guys. I was doing some shopping before practice. I forgot you two were getting lunch." She smiles as nicely as she can and leans against Rachel's chair.

"Sit down and get something to eat." Puck nods to the chair next to Holly. He waves over the waiter. "San, this is my publicist Holly, Holly this is Santana."

"Rachel's best friend. Well one of her best friends."

"It's so nice to meet you. I was just telling Rachel here that this could get a lot of publicity for your team."

"This?" Rachel looks over at Santana with her eyes wide.

Puck looks down at his cell phone ringing. He picks it up and kisses Rachel's temple before getting up to go answer it. Santana looks over at her friend then back to Holly. The girl is still going on about how Puck, Finn and Mike being at the games will be great when a light goes off above Santana's head. She looks from Holly to Puck after Holly glances at his back.

"Look, Rachel doesn't need to stage her kisses with Puck. They kiss all the time, really it gets kind of boring and disgusting after awhile. So I think you need to back off a little bit and just let them be a couple. They're not robots." Santana picks a crouton off Rachel's plate and sits back in her chair. Rachel is looking over at Puck when Santana leans in to Holly. "And you better stop checking out my best friend's boyfriend or else I'll tell him he needs a new publicist."

"What was that about?" Rachel looks to Puck when he sits down.

"It was the director. They want to send me up to Camp Pendleton in two weeks to train with some Recon Marines for the movie."

"For how long?" Rachel smiles up at him and puts her hand on his forearm while he takes a bite of his pasta.

"About two to three weeks I think."

"That will be great! A few weeks apart and a big reunion." Holly's eyes light up and Santana smacks her arm.

"Remember what I told you." Santana looks at her pointedly. Her friends give her a weird look and she shrugs, looking at her nails. "C'mon Rach. It's almost one and we need to go home and change for practice. I can give you a ride."

"Shit, I forgot about that. Sorry baby." Puck pulls her over and kisses her. "Go with San and I'll get lunch."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep. Wanna come over later? We can talk about all this publicity shit."

"Of course." Rachel kisses him deeply then pulls away to walk away with Santana.

"You know that those two have done the nasty right?" Santana looks at Rachel and stops right outside the restaurant.

"What?" Rachel looks back at them. Puck seems to notice her so he winks.

"She was lingering on his back when he was on the phone and you were looking at him. But I told her not to force you two to do anything."

"Thank you San. And it's in the past. Unless she does something otherwise, I'm going to try and put it out of my mind." She smiles and links her arm with her best friend.

"That's my girl."


Puck is laying on his couch watching some show about Marines trying to get into the Recon team on TV. Some of the shit he might have to do looks like it's going to suck, but he works out so it shouldn't be a problem right? There's a knock on the door and he pauses it, jumping up and throwing the remote on the coffee table.

He opens the door and sees Rachel standing there with grocery bags. "Hey baby." Puck pulls her in for a kiss.

"Hi. I figured I would cook since you bought lunch. How does lasagna sound?" She makes her way to the kitchen.

"Sounds great, but you don't need to cook for me Rach. We haven't been dating that long."

"So?" She looks around for pans to use.

"I'm just sayin." He smirks and walks back over to the couch.

"What are you watching? I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

Puck snorts at how she could possibly be interrupting anything. All he's doing is watching TV. He turns the show back on and after twenty minutes Rachel comes and sits next to his torso.

"Military channel?"

"Just something about Marines trying to get into the Recon group. Kind of like the Navy Seals or Special Forces. Figured since I'll be training with them I could see what I might have to do." He tugs at her waist to make her lay down with him. Her calves brush against his, and her thighs rubbing the silky material of his gym shorts. Shorts again for her, God he loves her legs.

"Would you have to wear that uniform?"

"Dunno, maybe."

"Dinner will be ready in about an hour." Rachel turns so her back is against his chest, watching the show that he has on.

Puck runs his fingers up her thigh, over the spot that makes her whimper when they're making out. She squirms slightly but leans her head down on his bicep. His hand sneaks up her shirt, brushing over her ribs then moving underneath her bra.

"Noah…"

"What?" He kisses the back of her neck.

"Dinner is going to be ready soon. And you want to finish this show."

"We can pause it and finish it while we eat."

Rachel rolls over on the couch and looks up at him. "You're so hard to say no to." Puck grinds his hip into her thigh. "You're so gross Noah." She laughs but kisses him anyways. He pulls her up and bends her over the couch, letting her shorts drop to the ground along with his shorts.

"Shit, I need a condom."

"I'm on the pill Noah, just do it."

Puck pushes into her, moaning against her shoulder blade when he can feel how wet she is without a condom on. He pulls back out slowly and pushes into her again. Rachel arches her back and pushes back into him.

"Harder baby." She chokes out.

Rachel calling him baby? Completely makes him harder as he thrusts into her harder. His hands settle onto her shoulders, feeling her walls tremble around him. He can't believe how turned on she can get instantly.

"Baby, I'm so close."

"Touch yourself." He says gruffly, giving it to her harder. Rachel's hand finds its way down to her clit, rubbing herself until she's screaming his name. Right when he releases the oven timer goes off.

Rachel leans over the arm of the couch, trying to catch her breath when she looks over her shoulder to him. "Dinner's ready."

Puck laughs and pulls up his shorts to go turn the oven off then grab a washcloth for Rachel to clean off with. Once she's done, they sit in front of the couch to finish his show. After he finishes his food, he puts his feet up on the coffee table and actually pays attention to the TV, soaking in all the information he can about the kind of exercises they have to do.

"Are you going to try and put those into your workout?" Rachel curls up against his side.

"I think so. It can't be too bad."

"That looks awful though, they're practically crying." She looks up to him.

"Well, like they say. Pain is weakness leaving the body." He shrugs and puts his arm around her. "I'll be fine babe."

Rachel turns towards him. "Are you coming to the game on Friday?"

"Of course. I wouldn't want to miss your games unless I absolutely had to."

She rolls her eyes. "You just don't want to miss all the girls in lingerie."

"I don't want to miss you in lingerie." He wiggles his eyebrows and kisses her.

"So about everything that Holly said..."

Puck lays on the couch, one leg up and the other on the floor, pulling Rachel against his chest. "Oh yeah, what were you thinking about it all?"

"I'm not comfortable with her thinking that this is just some publicity stunt. I mean, staging our kisses at the games? It's just a little overboard. I don't want our relationship to feel like a job." She lays her head against his chest, smiling when he kisses the top of her head.

"I wouldn't do that anyways. Making out with you in public is not a problem for me." He feels her laughing against his chest, burying her head into his shirt. "Enough serious talk, let's get back to the show."

"Okay." She smiles and lays down, her head on his thigh.


The day after their win against Minnesota, Brittany and Rachel are sitting outside of an ice cream shop that they love. Santana left after the game to drive home to Las Vegas while Rachel and Brittany went to celebrate with the guys at the bar they all met at the first time.

"Do you think Santana would bring us back those really cool lollipops from Paris while she's back home?" Brittany licked her ice cream as they sat outside.

"I think so. Do you think we should text her to be sure? Maybe she could go to the M&M place too."

"Definitely. I just can't believe her sister is having a baby! I know it's only the shower but still. A little guy to come visit Santana and us on the weekend. So exciting. How are things with Puck going?"

"We're great. I just can't believe he's leaving for training soon." Rachel falls back into her seat and licks the ice cream that's threatening to leave her waffle cone. "What about you and Mike? You could've told me that you two were talking before we left for Orlando you know."

"I really wanted to Rach, but I was scared. He's so different! But not in a bad way. Mike is so sweet and caring. Guess what he offered me?" Rachel looks at her nervously. Brittany rolls her eyes. "When the season ends, instead of trying to find a tour to dance on, he's going to let me teach his classes while he's on Dancing With the Stars. Can you believe it?"

"Wow. That's amazing!" Rachel sighs. "I don't know what I'm going to do after the season. We're halfway done. I need to look for something, San is going to do her freelance photography thing. Finn could probably help her get some work or something."

"Do American Idol. The tryouts will end after the championship game. You're in LA so it's not like you'll have to travel somewhere crazy for it. I've seen the Dream Ticket sitting on your dresser."

"But if I do that, then I won't have any income. I've been saving up but I just don't know Britt."

"Don't be silly. I think when contestants make it to the top ten, they get paid each episode. Plus me and San won't let you starve or anything. Neither will your dads. They'll be ecstatic Rach! We could all go and cheer for you. It'd be amazing."

"Maybe you're right." Rachel bites her lip and tosses the rest of her ice cream.

"Of course I'm right."

"But Mike will be on Dancing With the Stars at the same time. Won't it be hard for you guys to cheer on two different people?"

"No. We can just go see his show one week and see yours the next. Alternate watching them on TV. It'll be easy." Brittany smiles and finishes off her ice cream, sighing contently.

"Let's go shopping. I need to look for some new jeans."

Brittany jumps up and tosses her ice cream cup into the trash and walks next to Rachel. They pass a table by a restaurant when a girl steps out in front of Rachel.

"You're Rachel Berry right?"

Rachel smile curiously at the woman in front of her. "Yes, why?"

The girl takes her drink and throws it in Rachel's face. "What the fuck was that for?" Brittany yells and stands in front of Rachel.

"You're ruining a lot of women's chances of sleeping with Puck." She walks back to her table.

Brittany hears a sniffle come from behind her. "Oh Rach." She wipes a tear away and looks around. They aren't too far from the guys' apartment building, so she pulls out her phone and calls a cab. On the way there, Rachel just sits there, staring down at her lap. "Rachel?" Brittany says quietly and reaches for her hand.

The cab stops in front of the building and Brittany pays quickly. She leads Rachel up to the hallway, but when she knocks on Finn's door (she texted Mike earlier and they were all at Finn's place watching a game) Rachel slides down the wall and sits on the floor. Finn opens the door and smiles at her. "Hey Britt! I didn't know you guys were coming over."

Brittany looks at him sadly then down the hall to Rachel. He looks over and instantly runs over to her. "Rachel?" He squats down and rubs his thumb over her cheeks but more tears fall down. "What happened?" He looks to Brittany.

"We were just eating ice cream and enjoying the day together when we walked by a restaurant and some girl asked if she was Rachel Berry. She said yes and the girl just threw her drink in Rach's face. She said that Rachel was ruining every woman's chances of sleeping with Puck. She's been staring at her lap since we got in the cab and I brought her here. I thought Puck might be able to help but…" She trails off and has a tear trailing down her cheek. "Why would they do this to her Finn?"

He looks down at Rachel and helps her up. He carries her bridal style into the door where the guys are smiling and looking over, but their smiles drop the instant they see Rachel. Mike walks over to Brittany and asks what happened. Puck sits there, staring at Finn. The taller man looks at Puck then takes Rachel down the hall into the bathroom. The door closes and he comes back out and looks to Brittany and Mike.

"Maybe you should tell Puck what happened."

"No, Rachel can tell him. But I do want to know this." Brittany steps towards Puck. "Every time I go out with Rachel, am I going to have to worry about women who want to fuck you try and hurt her? Throwing things is one thing but what if someone gets violent? Fix this." Brittany walks out of the apartment towards Mike's. He looks to his friends then runs after her.

Rachel walks out, her hair wet but still staring at the ground. She walks up to the guys and finally looks up at them. "Noah, could we go to your apartment and talk?" Puck swallows nervously and nods. She nods too then stands up on her toes to kiss Finn's cheek. "Thank you."

Puck closes the door behind them and walks to his room. Rachel silently follows and leans against his dresser. He's rummaging through his closet for something. "Someone threw their drink on me, saying I'm messing up their chances of sleeping with you." She looks down at the ground, not knowing that Brittany already kind of told him what had happened.

"What?" He finds what he's looking for and walks over to Rachel.

"Is this going to happen all the time? Even your publicist hates me." She looks down at her wet shirt and scrunches her nose. Puck hands her the shirt he has in his hand. The front says McKinley High Titans and on the back a big 20 with Puckerman across the shoulders. She smiles.

"I don't know if it will, but they're dumb bitches. I don't want to have sex with them though Rachel. You're my girlfriend. And Holly doesn't hate you."

"She inspected me like a piece of meat Noah. And Santana thinks that you two hooked up because her eyes were lingering all over your…" She hesitates. "Ass."

Puck laughs. "You're hot when you cuss baby."

She bites her bottom lip before gathering the strength to ask what she really wanted to know. "Did you two sleep together?"

He looks at the ground then over to his bed. "It was a long time ago Rach."

"She still wants you." Rachel looks away and closes her eyes.

Puck sighs and walks in front of her, putting his finger under her chin so that she has to look at him. "Open your eyes and listen carefully. It doesn't matter. I have you now. You're amazing." He smiles when the corners of her lips turn up. "It's not like she's great at sex anyways."

Rachel looks down at the shirt and puts it on top of the dresser. "Let me show you how much better I am than her." She smiles seductively up at him. "I'm really sticky and I need a shower." Puck stares at her with his jaw slightly dropped. Rachel is walking away in tight skinny jeans, her bra and wet hair. She looks over her shoulder. "You coming?"
