A couple of weeks went by since the incident. In home room Quinn is my seat mate along with half of the boys with high levels of testosterone. "Hey Puck."
He turned around and looked at me. "Yeah?" "I'm going to visit Alek with Quinn, you want to come?" "You don't want to take one of your groupies?" He turned around. I leaned forward and put my arms down his chest pulling him back. "If i wanted to i would have. I wanted to ask you Noah. So are you in or not?" He got Goosebumps from whispering in my ear and closed his eyes. "Why are you such a tease to me?" I looked at him confused. "I didn't know I was." He leaned in extremely close. "Well trust me you are. Yeah I'll go see my boy." I smiled. "He'll really like that." "Just him?" I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, I'll be blown away by presence like I am every single day i see you." He made intense eye contact with me. "I'm coming over later okay." I nodded at his command. Quinn smiled. I went to my next class. Finn was waiting outside. "Can I talk to you?" "What?" "I miss you." "Seriously. How's Rachel?" He blushed. "I'm not with her. I made the wrong decision." I sighed. "I'll think about it. Don't get your hopes up." I walked past him and went and sat next to Mike. "What's up Chick?" "Finn's begging me back." "Are you going to?" "Probably not." He sighed. "Good Puck would have been heart broken." I looked at him. "Girl your so retarded." "Hey be nice to my delicate state." He laughed. "Give Puck a chance first before you do anything." "Okay." Lunch came with me chatting with Quinn. I felt an arm wrap around my waist and a warm body next to me. "What are you two chatting about?" "The birthing process." He flinched. I smiled at Quinn's remark. "What's up Noah?" "Nothing just wanted to hang out." I smiled at him. "If you say so." "So what are you going to tell him?" "He made his choice and he's going to have to deal with it because I don't want him back." "you're going to make him cry." I looked at finn. "Sucks then. He made me cry." "he's going to sing a song to get you back." "I'm not going then." They looked at me. "I can't crush him after a sad love song in front of glee. I'll feel like the bad guy. How about the three of us ditch?" They looked at each other. "Okay sounds good." We ditched last period. Noah and I picked up the kids while Quinn was napping at home. "Nicolette." "Yes Noah." "What would a guy like me, who has grown up, have to do to be with a girl like you." "No cheating, no ego. I want honesty, and just a good guy. Oh and you have to sing." "Let's go to the bowling alley it's karaoke night on Wednesday's." "Fine." Nik got in the car next to Dmitri and Crisstoff. "Hey Puck." "Hey kids." "Are you coming with us to visit Alek?" "Sure am." That night Quinn was more than delighted to baby-sit. Puck drove my car. We played one game. I conquered him. "Wow Noah thought you were an athlete." "Okay be gentle." "One more game." "We should play two, to make it fair." "Well since I'm going to win the next one I don't think that it's necessary." "Oh well look at you. No ego?" "Okay some ego is okay." He dragged me to the karaoke. He put me in the front. "This is for a special little lady. Stubborn and can't notice when someone is trying to ask her out." I opened my mouth to complain.
He grabbed the spare guitar and began singing.
"Can You Read My Mind" Brian McKnight
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Oh when I look at you
I probably should go
Cause I wanna be with you
More than you'll ever know
Hmm for a taste of you
I could calm my desire
Baby you blow my mind
You light my fire, oh
I want you (yeah)
Need you (yeah)
Can't live without you
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Is it the way I feel?
The curiosity or the things you do
That brings out the lust in me
The thought of me and you, drives me wild
Come close to me
Can you stay awhile?
Hold you, need you
Can't live without you
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Yeah
Hold you, need you
Can't live without you
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
His eye contact didn't break through the entire song. The song, his voice, were amazing. I got up and walked out with a smile on my face. i waited next to the door of the bowling alley. Noah sprinted out, past me. "Nicolette!" "Yes?" He turned and there I was. "Well aren't you miss sneaky." I smiled at him. He started walking towards me. "So what you think?" "Good song. Your voice could have gone higher." He sighed in frustration. I laughed. "I'm kidding. It was really good Noah." He was leaning against the building next to me. "Nicolette don't." "Don't what?" I turned towards him. My arm leaning against the wall know. "Don't make me get all mushy." "I like mushy." He sighed and ran a hand over his mo-hawk. "I really like you. Since you walked into class the first day. I'm head over heels for you." He gently put his hand on my cheek. I put my hand over his. "Nicolette I'm going to only say this one time, be my girl." I looked at Noah. I took his hand off my cheek and intertwined my fingers with his. I smiled at him. "You're lucky I don't mind that your bossy. Yes Noah, I'll let you be mine." He smiled and kissed me. Kissing him was much more different from kissing Finn. I never wanted to stop kissing Noah, where as sometimes I did with Finn. I grabbed Noah's jacket and pulled him closer. He groaned against me. "Nicolette, I'm not finn. I won't be so nice when you're aggressive." I smirked. "Really? Cause all I'm getting is nice from you." He smirked and kissed me hard. He wrapped his arms around me so I couldn't move my arms to touch or grab him. His started nibbling my jaw down to my neck. He found my spot and started biting sucking. I bit my lip and held in my moan. He noticed. His arms loosened and I moved mine. He was distracted by my hands slightly pushing him to the ground. I crawled on top of him and found his spot on his neck. Then I heard a cough behind me. I stopped and turned to see some couple. I got off of Noah. He waved to them and put an hand around my waist and we walked quickly to my car. I started laughing. "What?" "Imagine the scene we just made for everyone coming and going. should've made some money." He chuckled at me and kissed the side of my head. He drove me and my car home. "Night Noah." "Maybe I should stay. You know you and Quinn home alone. I promise no funny business." I gave him a look. "Fine Noah you can stay." He smiled and came in. We hung out for a little bit. "Okay so you're sleeping on the couch." I smirked at him and handed him some blankets. "You wanna sleep with me down here." "Sure, I have to go check on everyone first." I went upstairs. Nikolai was doing homework, Dmitri was asleep, Crisstoff was waiting for me. He smiled and reached out his hands. "Hey baby." I picked him up. He made gurgling noises and started making nonsense words. i smiled and kissed his nose. "It's time for bed." I put him down. He jumped up and ran off. For being only 18 months he's fast. I walked after him. "Where are you going mister?" He slowly crawled down every step and into the living room. He sat down right in front of the TV. "No." I shook my head. i heard laughter behind me. Quinn was waddling down. "He's quite bossy." "I smiled. "Yes he is. Oh Pucks staying the night here on the couch." "I see things went well." She smiled at me. "Yeah." She grabbed some water. "Night Letty." "Night Q." I took Criss to my room.
I put on my PJ's and he ran out again. I sighed. He had made it down the stairs quicker. He was holding onto the couch cushion. Bouncing. I picked him up again. I took him upstairs and brushed his teeth. He waited until i was washing my face to run off. I walked down and saw him doing the same thing except he was holding onto pucks jeans. Puck smiled at him. "You want to sleep
down here with us?" "He's going to bed in his room." Puck picked up Criss and started to talk in a baby voice. "But mommy I want to stay here." i sighed in defeat. "Fine." Me set up the sofa bed. We laid down where Criss was in the middle but he wouldn't stop moving. He wanted to bounce on us. He would throw himself on Pucks chest and cuddle into mine. "Someone's a bundle of energy." I laid him down on my chest and rubbed his back and neck with my finger tips. He was out in no time. "How did you do that?" "Magic trick." Noah pulled me next to him and i used chest as my own personal pillow.
