Still don't anything! Mistakes are mine :)
Rachel watches as Puck pulls things out of his dresser and into his suitcase. She's sprawled out on his bed then rolls onto her back, giving him a great view down her top.
"Baby, you're killing me." He packs a few more sweatshirts into his bag before walking over to the bed.
She blinks innocently. "How?"
Puck laughs and puts his hands on either side of her head since she's laying down by the foot of the bed then bends down to kiss her upside down. Her arms wrap around his neck while his right hand moves into the top of her shirt, palming her breast. "I'm going to be late for my flight."
"You have time for something quick. I already figured it out."
"Your planning is kinda hot." He pulls off her shirt, leaning over to suck on one of her nipples. He loves the days when she doesn't wear a bra.
They walk hand in hand into LAX and move towards check in. Finn is already at the gate so they're trying to find the shortest line. They're late as it is because Rachel didn't plan on him wanting to go more than one time since he was leaving for two weeks. Photographers, well there's not that many, are taking pictures of them and how Puck is constantly keeping his arm around her or holding her hand. Once he's got his suitcase checked in, he moves them towards security securing his boarding pass into his back pocket until he needs it. They stand in line, arms wrapped around each other.
Rachel looks up at him and kisses his chin. "I'm going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too Ray. Just sucks I won't be there for your audition."
"Me too. Make it up to me in Vegas." She winks and grins.
Puck laughs and moves to kiss her. She pushes her tongue into his mouth, tasting his cinnamon gum and moans. Someone taps his shoulder, so he pulls away from Rachel, frowning when she whines. "Yeah?" The man points at the gap in the line. "Oh, sorry." The guy just laughs and waves his hand dismissively. They move up and Rachel raises on her toes again to kiss him. "Baby, as much as I fucking love kissing you, I gotta go through security."
She sighs and kisses him one last time. "Call me when you land."
"Yes ma'am." He pecks her lips.
"I lo- 'll miss you." She moves out the way quickly and watches as he goes through. He eyes her curiously before grabbing a tray and emptying everything out of his pockets into it.
He turns and smirks when she blows him a kiss. Puck winks then starts to move quickly so he won't miss his flight. Walking onto the plane, he quickly spots Finn and moves to put his laptop bag into the overhead compartment.
"Took you long enough." Finn scrolls through his emails without looking up.
"Sorry man, Rachel's lips are addicting."
"I don't even know why I'm coming with you."
"Because you love coming on trips and working. Plus Sarah is taking care of your shit here that would've prevented you from going."
"Yeah whatever." He turns off his phone.
An hour into the flight, a stewardess is trying to flirt with Puck so he keeps asking for beer and pretzels to make her go away. They're both on their second beer and second bag of pretzels when Finn pulls out his laptop.
"So I spoke with your director the other day. I'm not really sure why he didn't talk to Holly, but whatever, I knew she probably wouldn't have come to me about it anyways. He says that the movie isn't getting as much attention as he wants. We need to talk to her about getting you on more shows to talk about it or something. I think they were interested in doing a press junket early then doing one after the trailer goes out. And I know they're working on a teaser trailer."
Puck leans back in his chair. "Dude, how did this become your problem?"
"Because I want you to get a lot of good shit because of this movie. And if they're not interested, that makes it my problem. Even if Holly doesn't want to do her job. I actually give a shit about your career. Then I have to worry about Mike's photography shots for the show and…" His voice trails off and Puck can really see how much shit he has to do. Finn pulls up an email and leans forward to read it.
"Why is Playboy emailing you?" He leans over to look at the email.
"Well I pretty much became the agent for Temptation and they've gotten a lot of attention this year. They want Brittany to be on the cover and do an article about being on the LFL." Finn pulls up his web chat to see if Mike is online, luckily he is, and tells him to get out the webcam.
"What's up?" Mike appears on screen and Brittany's hand waves.
"Hey, get Brittany on the screen. I gotta talk to her about something."
He eyes Finn carefully before pulling Brittany next to him. She smiles brightly on the screen. "Hey guys! Wow, those seats look nice." She tilts her head.
"Yeah, they're pretty comfortable. Anyways, Britt I got an email from Playboy and they want you on the cover. They want an interview too. You wanna do it?"
"Playboy? Really?"
"Playboy…" Mike gives Finn a cold look then looks at Brittany. "Absolutely not."
"Why not?" Brittany looks at him while Finn glances at Puck.
"Because there are plenty of perverts who will take those pictures and use them for their fucking spank bank. No way."
Puck leans into Finn's personal bubble and looks at Mike pointedly. "Dude, in case you forgot, she plays lingerie football. Guys are already using her pictures to jack it in their spare time. So really, what is the problem?"
"And how would you feel if they wanted Rachel to do that?"
"I get the real deal so who fucking cares?" He raises his eyebrow threateningly.
"Mike, he's right. Finn I'd like to do it." Brittany smiles then waves again before moving off camera, humming lightly.
"You guys blow." Mike signs off.
Finn laughs. "Alright, well at least that is taken care of."
"Is there anything I can get you gentlemen?" The stewardess leans over and tries to show off her rack.
"You guys got any sandwiches or something we can buy? I'm starving." Puck looks up at her eyes instead of her chest, smirking when she frowns.
"We'll be coming around shortly."
"Thanks." He smiles tightly and closes his eyes.
A few minutes later, someone pokes his shoulder and he opens his eyes, finding the stewardess smiling coyly at him. "What can I get for you?"
Puck looks at the cart and grabs a sandwich, salad, a bag of chips and a bottle of water then hands her his card. Finn looks over, points to a container with fruit in it and a bottle of water. "Just put his with mine." Finn goes back to typing away on his laptop while the woman hands them their food. She glares at Puck then moves on to the people sitting behind him.
Rachel wakes up before the sun is even out, moving her way to the bathroom to get ready for her audition in San Diego. Her ticket from Disney is tucked into her purse, which means she didn't have to go through the first round with the producers, she'll just get to sing for the judges.
Walking down the hall she notices that Brittany and Santana's bedroom lights are on, which she's guessing that they're getting ready too. She's got a bit of time so she takes extra care with her hair. Rachel packs some of her makeup so she can do touch-ups when she gets there. This will all be shown on TV, well she's not sure if her audition will be, but she's not going to risk looking bad.
After hours of waiting outside then about an hour inside, it's time for Brittany and Santana to hug her then she disappears. She walks into the room with the judges, with number 423195 pinned onto the front of her shirt. They sit down against the wall, pulling out their phones to call the appropriate people. Brittany has Mike and Sarah on her phone, (Sarah has Connor waiting to be called), Santana has papa Berries and Rachel's phone has Puck and Finn waiting. They just talked to Ryan about Rachel but he's now inside to listen to her sing.
"Is she in there? Can you hear her singing?" Puck is the only one talking.
"Not yet, they're probably asking her questions." Brittany moves to press her ear against the door.
"When they show this shit on TV it never seems to take this long." They hear Finn whispering in the background, followed by a thud. "Fuck off Hudson."
Santana sighs and leans her head back against the wall until they hear the beginning of 'Oh Darling.' Everyone pauses what they're doing and it becomes really quiet in the hallway. Rachel's voice is so powerful that they can hear it through the thick door. Even Puck is quiet on the line. From what they've heard, the person singing is stopped after a minute, but Rachel is moving on to sing the entire song.
When she's done, everyone in the hallway has their jaws dropped and whispering quietly to each other. The people on their phones are clapping and Puck's muffled 'holy shit.'
Rachel looks at the judges, biting her lip nervously. They're just staring at her. She fidgets and plays with the bottom of her jacket before Randy finally shakes his head.
"Wow! Rachel, that was absolutely amazing. We haven't heard a voice like yours all day."
She smiles brightly and looks at the other judges. Steven Tyler is just looking her up and down. "How can such a big voice come out of a small fucking person?" The camera men glare at him. "What I can't say that?"
Rachel giggles and looks at Jennifer Lopez in the middle. "I loved it. I think you could get really far in this competition and I would love to see you perform some more. So what do you guys think?" Both men smile and say yes. She smiles and looks at Rachel. "I guess you're going to Hollywood!"
She screams and runs up to them, hugging them individually. "Thank you so much!"
They all laugh and wave goodbye as she moves out the door. Brittany and Santana are holding their phones and looking at her. Rachel screams and hugs them both tightly. "I'M GOING TO HOLLYWOOD!"
"OH MY GOD!" Brittany screams and drops her phone hugging her best friend tightly.
Santana laughs and she can hear all their friends cheering along with Rachel's parents. She hands Rachel her phone. "C'mon, I know you wanna talk to Puck."
"Noah?" She walks off towards the end of the hall.
"Hey baby. You fucking rocked it."
"Wait, you heard?"
"Everyone could hear you babe. You've got a set of pipes."
"This is so exciting! Then we have the championship game next week in Vegas and I get to see you again."
He chuckles on the other side of the phone. "Yeah I know babe. I'm excited too. Look, I gotta get back on set but I'll talk to you later tonight."
"Okay, bye Noah."
Santana and Brittany walk up to her and both hug her again. "I think it's time for dinner and some shopping for what you're going to wear on the show."
On the last day that he's in Wilmington, Finn signed them up to get a tour of the studios to see the sets of other shows that are filmed there. He's got his aviators on and looking around at the different buildings while Finn types out an email to Sarah.
"You must be Mr. Puckerman and Mr. Hudson." A man a little younger than them walks up to them. He's got dark shaved down hair, darker skin than Puck with jeans, converses and a hoodie on.
"Puck and that's Finn." He holds his hand out and they shake. The guy looks like he's sizing him up before turning around.
"Follow me, I'll take you to our most popular set first."
"He doesn't seem too happy to be showing us around." Finn slips his phone back into his pocket and looks around.
Puck just grunts and pulls his jacket on a bit tighter. He's not used to the cold ass weather anymore. Once they're inside he turns around.
"Now that we're out of the cold, my name is Matt Rutherford. I'm one of the producers here and they wanted me to show you around. Usually we have someone else do it, but they insisted. Now if you'll follow me." He motions towards one of the sets.
Finn stops and pulls Puck towards him. "Dude, that name sounds familiar."
"You're so paranoid, calm down and enjoy your dumb tour." He shoves him lightly and follows the guy.
At the end of the tour, Finn is in the bathroom while Puck texts Rachel. Matt is looking at him before he finally clears his throat.
"What?"
"So you're Noah Puckerman."
"Yeah, and?" He doesn't mean for it to come out as hostile as it does. Puck slips his phone into his pocket then looks at this guy. Now that he thinks about it, Finn is right. The name does sound familiar.
"You're dating my ex."
Shit. That's why it sounds familiar. "Oh…" He says awkwardly and looks away. This guy could probably beat his ass if he really tried.
"Look, I'm not gonna stand here and act all pissed that you're with Rachel. If anything, you're lucky as hell. Don't fuck up like I did. The promotion is amazing, but I miss her. So fucking much."
"Don't plan on screwing things up with her. She's amazing."
"I know. And I've seen pictures of you two, don't give me that fucking look," He raises his eyebrow at Puck "and she's really happy with you. I've never seen her that happy when she was with me. The pressures of being in this industry is pretty high, but more so for an actor. Don't break her heart." With that he nods and walks away before looking over his shoulder. "Nice meeting you, big fan by the way." He grins and shoves his hands down into his pockets.
Finn walks out and sees Puck staring at the retreating figure. "Where's he going?"
"Probably home. You were right about his name sounding familiar."
"How?"
"Rachel's ex."
They both stare at him before Finn hits his shoulder. "Well why don't we go get our shit so we can get you to your girl early? They're already in Vegas."
"Fuck yeah." Puck grins and almost runs to the car.
Rachel is standing by the baggage claim with Santana, looking towards where the arrivals are coming out of. She already pulled out both of their suitcases from the carousal. Suddenly she spots his red Ohio State sweatshirt and his aviators on top of his head, talking to Finn. Her smile brightens when he sees her and starts to walk over faster. She's not that far from him, a few feet at most but she jogs up to him and jumps up, wrapping her legs around his hips while kissing him.
"Get a room, holy shit." Finn murmurs when he passes them only to be doing the same thing with Santana, she's just up on her toes with her arms around his neck.
Puck pulls her closer to his body, the best that he can, while massaging her tongue with his. A few claps can be heard before they pull apart and notice a bunch of military guys standing there with their seabags by their feet. One guy is 'whispering' to his friend "Is that Noah Puckerman?" He grins and sets Rachel down to go shake their hands.
"I have a good friend that's deploying soon and I just wanna say thanks for everything you guys do."
"Would you mind signing this?"
"No problem."
Rachel smiles as she watches him sign things and take pictures with the guys. Once he's done he salutes them and throws his arm over her shoulder. "You're amazing baby." She leans up to kiss his cheek.
"Thanks babe." He grabs his suitcase and follows Finn and Santana outside. "Shit, it's colder than I thought it would be."
"Where are you guys staying?" Santana looks at them as they get a cab.
"Hard Rock hotel tonight, Caesar's tomorrow night." Finn looks down at his phone to check their reservations.
"Are Mike and Sarah driving in tomorrow for the game?" Rachel leans against Puck and breathes in his cologne.
"Yep. Mike has the weekend off. We got a suite for all of us to stay at too for two days. Then back to work." He pulls Rachel into his side and kisses her temple.
"Britts is meeting us there. We can get dinner before we have to be back at our hotel. She wants to go to the Hard Rock Café."
"Cool." Puck rests his head against Rachel's and relaxes.
After dinner and catching up with everyone for the past two weeks, Puck convinces Rachel to come up to his room for a little bit since their 'curfew' wasn't around yet. Their friends went to the casino but he just needed some alone time with his girl. He's got her back pressed into the mattress, pressing kisses to her jaw up to her lips. She's kissing him back with all her heart but he drops his head onto her collar bone. "I'm so fucking tired."
Rachel laughs and strokes the back of his neck. "Why don't we take a nap? I'll tell Santana to come up and get me when they're ready to leave."
Puck nods and rolls onto his side, pulling Rachel against his chest and buries his face into her hair. He falls asleep almost instantly.
The next day during halftime, their team is losing and all of them can see the frustration from the stands. Rachel is getting more aggressive when she's pushing women out of the way to catch the ball. Santana is trying too hard when she throws and everything gets off balance pretty quick. Finn has his face in his hands while bouncing his leg. Mike is just staring at the bouncing leg, thinking of ways he could get it to stop, possibly by snatching the fork from the woman behind him and stabbing it. Sarah is just staring at the field. Puck gets up and goes to get more beer, even though a few girls are stopping him to try and flirt. He smiles tightly barely containing himself from screaming for everyone to leave him the fuck alone.
Rachel threads her fingers through her hair, ruining her pony tail but she just puts her face in her hands. The coaches are chewing them out and she swears she hasn't heard Will cuss this much since she started on the team. Santana is standing next to her, tapping her foot while Brittany is staying completely calm next to Tina.
"Get out on the field and warm up." Will moves out of the locker room. Shannon left minutes before because she couldn't stand to look at them anymore.
Puck sits back down and watches as they run out onto the field, starting to do warm-ups. He sees that Santana has her fingers in Rachel's pony tail and they're talking quietly to each other, foreheads touching together. The taller woman moves away and his girl is standing there looking extremely frustrated. Her hand wipes across her forehead before she joins the rest of her team. Puck is actually worried and he can't go to her.
The other team has the ball and both Brittany and Tina are playing defense. They're kicking the hell out of the other team, tackling them with no mercy. Mike looks like a crazy person cheering for Brittany and it actually has Puck laughing a bit, getting him in a better mood than he was a few minutes ago.
Brittany eyes the ball on the ground after Tina just sacked the quarterback, picks it up and she hauls complete ass to the end zone, even doing a victory dance now that the score is tied. She runs up to Santana and Rachel, smacking their asses and telling them to make her proud.
Santana focuses and notices that they only have a minute to make a miracle happen. Her eyes connect with Rachel's and they both nod. The ball is snapped, faking that she's going to pass it off until she sees her best friend, completely free at the end of the field in the end zone. Taking a deep breath, she throws it and watches as time slows down.
Puck, Sarah, Finn and Mike all stand up along with the rest of the Temptation fans, watching as the ball soars through the air until it lands in Rachel's arms with seconds to spare. She falls onto her back and throws the ball up in the air, pumping her fists. They all laugh and high five each other while the team runs down to the field and piles on top of her. The announcer comes on over the stadium, interrupting all the cheering.
"Your 2011 LFL Champions! LA TEMPTATION!"
Confetti canons are going off and little silver flashes litters the field and stands as they fall to the ground. The team is jumping and celebrating on the field while music plays. Puck is laughing until he sees Rachel running through the crowd in her uniform and pulling her pads off. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him thoroughly, causing the crowd to erupt even more. His tongue moves against hers and they're too busy making out until Rachel pulls away because someone is screaming her name.
"Looks like they need ya babe." He pecks her lips one more time.
"I'll be back, but we're partying tonight. Get ready."
She grins and picks up her pads before running back to slip on her championship shirt and hat to take the team picture. Artie is there and they let him have the rights to get the first picture. Will stands up and hands Brittany the game ball, making her MVP of the night. She throws her hands up in the air and points to Santana and Rachel.
Later that night they spend majority of the night walking up and down the strip, going into different casinos and settling on a restaurant to eat and celebrate their win. Sometimes Rachel, Santana and Brittany would get ahead of the rest of them, quietly singing 'we are the champions' while waving their championship hats around. Then they make it up to their suite, completely drunk and celebrating by drinking Patron. Sarah moves around, locking everyone in their rooms so no one goes out and gets married or do anything crazy.
The next night, they're walking into the Palms to go to the nightclub there. The girls are all dressed up but disappear to the bathroom while the guys temporarily wait in line before they go on the red carpet to take pictures (thanks to Puck and Mike's celebrity status) then into the club.
"We're smokin' hot." Santana smacks her lips in the mirror and admires her outfit.
"Seriously San, how can you fit in that corset top?" Rachel tilts her head at the cleavage that's showing in the light pink corset and her short frilly white skirt. Really, if Rachel was into the opposite sex, she'd probably be all over Santana right now.
"It just works Rach." She winks and leans against the counter.
Santana takes a minute to eye her friends. Brittany has her hair straight and grey high waisted shorts with ankle boots and a floral top, a little poof on top of her head. Rachel has on a barely covering the ass black lace skirt that is also high waisted and peach colored tank top that dips dangerously into her cleavage, her hair falling in curls and a little poof on top of her head too. She seriously has hot friends and not just the guys.
Sarah decided to stay in the suite, finishing up some work that Finn wanted her to do while she waited for Connor to call. No one really questioned her, especially since Puck didn't hear, so they told her that if they ended up doing something after the club that they would call.
Once they get inside the guys disperse to start a tab while the girls move out onto the dance floor. Rachel is grinding against Brittany and Santana is just doing her own thing, staring at Finn across the room. Puck and Mike have their VIP keys hanging around their necks, so that they can go up to the VIP lounge whenever they get spots Rachel and pulls her to him, handing her a drink then smoothes his hand down her back. He feels her shiver and he smirks.
"You look sexy baby." He whispers into her ear.
She smiles and sips her drink, grinding back onto him. Rachel looks at her friends, Brittany and Mike are having fun actually dancing along with everyone else so they can show off their moves. Santana and Finn are grabbing shots that are being walked around by waitresses. Rachel grabs one and knocks it back easily, knowing how turned on Puck gets from that action alone. She moves her arm up, circling around his neck.
He hears her giggling and looks down into her eyes when she turns to face him. "Has Finn always been a bad dancer?" Puck leans in to hear her better and all he really catches is 'been a bad dancer?' His eyebrows shoot up when he looks at her and she looks at him confused. Puck moves back down and she repeats the question, he grins and nods, watching her look over at Santana trying to move against him.
His hands move down her back until they find her ass, one venturing down lower until he's moving her skirt up. Her head drops back as she looks up to him, smiling coyly, until she turns around. Holy shit. He might as well be fucking her on the dance floor right now. His mind is filling with dirty thoughts of everywhere he could sneak her away to.
As if she read his mind, Rachel pulls his hand and moves up towards the VIP area.
They get their own little booth and Rachel drops the curtains while he pulls her back and presses her into the mini couch that's there. The vibration from the bass is moving through their bodies but he lowers his lips to her collar bone, licking the sweat off her body. He knows she's moaning even though he can't hear it through the music. Her hands cup his face so she can kiss him again and grind up into him.
She can feel his hand inching up her thigh, then he slides a finger over her folds under her panties. The vibration from the bass is making everything ten times more powerful than usual when they do anything sexual. They both have a pretty good buzz going on, so her head is swimming while he moves his fingers in and out of her.
"Noah!"
She arches into him, even though he can't hear her but he moves his lips over hers, silencing her moans even more as she squeezes his fingers. He pulls them out and sucks them clean while she pants underneath him. The music changes to "How to Love" so he helps her up and move out to the railing so they can look down at everyone. Puck cages her in, his arms on either side of her and holding her hands, letting them dangle over the railing while he kisses her neck and she's swaying with the music lightly. They're both looking down at their friends. Santana has her back against Finn's chest, his arms circling her hips with her arm circling around his neck and one of her hands laced with his. Both of them have content smiles on their faces. Rachel looks over to Brittany and Mike, their foreheads together while stealing little pecks and moving to the music. She leans her head against Puck's and he presses a kiss to her cheek.
When the verse with the lyrics saying 'you're beautiful' comes on, he leans down and kisses her ear. "I love you Rachel."
Rachel spins around quickly and looks up at him. She leans up and kisses him, saying the words against his lips then trails kisses up to his ear. "I love you too Noah."
Puck leads her down the steps and he moves to tell their friends that they're leaving.
Once they get into the suite and into their room, she moves over him and kisses him slowly while he undresses her. He's not used to going this slow but with Rachel, everything feels right. And if he dares to think it, perfect. She whispers 'I love you' again while she sinks onto him.
The next morning, Finn and Santana get a rental car and leave to stay the night with her parents while the rest of them pile into Mike's car to head back to Vegas. Rachel is sitting in between Sarah and Puck, leaning on the latter to sleep on the way back. He pushes her hair out of her face and looks up at Mike in the rear view mirror.
"Chicks." Mike laughs and looks over at Brittany then down at their joined hands.
Puck nods and looks down at his girlfriend, her hand fisted in his shirt right by his belly button. He kisses the top of her head then reaches over to push Sarah's hair off her face too. He's just glad he got out his iPod before Rachel fell asleep.
Short and sweet :) Let me know what you guys think. The next chapter is almost done too. So I should be putting that up sometime this weekend. Hopefully.
Reviewer #150 will get something special also. They seriously mean so much to me.
Check out my new story, it's called Baseball Jerseys and Pink Satin
