Chapter nine
Puck woke up the next morning feeling tired and in a lot of pain he looked over at the alarm clock, Rachel had left him two painkillers, water, and a small. It said she was running a few errands and would be home soon and to call if he needed anything. He smiled he knew yesterday the way she took care of him he definitively felt something for her. He took small breathe's because breathing with a broken rib was extremely painful. He took his painkillers quickly and went back to sleep.
Rachel was driving around getting food, medicine, and tried to find a soft foam pillow to make Puck more comfortable. She made a little list and smiled thinking about him. She found him completely charming and sincere, she picked up some Gatorade from the shelf. Turning she heard a familiar loud voice.
"Berrster." Michael yelled slinging an arm over Rachel's shoulder. She glared at him and slung his arm off her.
"Hi." She said rudely.
"Whoa whoa did I do something." He said chuckling.
"Hmm spiking my drink, sending Puck to the hospital you pick." She said giving him an annoyed voice. She was about to turn and walk away when Michael grabbed her arm.
"What happened to the old Rachel cause she was sexy as hell." Michael whispered in her ear.
"She's long gone." Rachel said yanking her arm back. Rachel waited in the checkout line and thought about Michael's harsh words. She suddenly remembered who she uses to be.
"Rachel you look amazing." Michael said pulling her close.
"Awh you too babe." She purred. She grabbed the drink from him and took a huge long slip.
"You are so sexy." Michael said giving her a sly smile.
"Thanks you too." She winked. Her grabbed her and kissed her sloppy, she didn't resist because she was beginning to get a bit tipsy. He grabbed her a tried to deepen the kiss, she backed away quickly.
"Um?" He questioned what happened.
"See you around babe." She winked before looking for Tiffany.
"Next." The lady at the cashier called, Rachel stepped forward.
Puck heard Rachel's car pull up and started freaking out he needed to look at least a little presentable. He grabbed a pillow and put it behind his back, he sat up a little and grabbed the closest book. He pretended to read when he heard her walking up the stairs.
"Hey good your up, how you feeling?" She asked.
"Good you know just reading." He said showing her the book.
"Your books upside down." She said laughing.
"I like it this way." He said blushing.
"So I ran into Michael." Rachel said sitting on the edge of the bed.
"And?" He asked curiously.
"I was a total bitch to him, listen I'm really sorry that he did this." She said looking him straight in the eyes. He smiled and she felt her heart skip a beat.
"It's kind of nice being taken care of." He said smiling.
"If you need anything." She said stressing the anything.
"Thanks Rach, even with this I still the best winter break of my life." He said wanting more than anything to kiss her.
"Me too, oh and I'm making you dinner." She said getting up, before she walked out the door her grabbed her arm.
"Thanks." He smiled, she leaned over and kissed his cheek. Realizing what she did she quickly ran out the door. Once she got outside she blushed and covered her face with her hands. Puck formed a huge smile, he knew it now Rachel liked him. Or else he really hoped so. Rachel set the table using a a new clean white tablecloth, she put a few daisies in a vase and two candles. She put on the stove and started making the pasta and garlic bread, she got to glasses and poured sparking cinder. In about thirty minutes Rachel sat the table with food and called Puck up.
"I'm coming.. slowly." He said yelling up the stairs.
"Oh right." She ran down to help him up, he smiled when she wrapped his arm around her.
"Thanks." He told her.
"Oh course." She said sweetly. Once she helped him to the seat he smiled and looked at him from across the table.
"Smells amazing." He said smiling.
"Thanks." She said handing him some garlic bread. "So you really had a good time."
"Yes, I really liked getting to know the real you." He said raising an eyebrow.
"Exactly." She said. After the ate with a few smiles and a conversation about having to go back to school. It then dawned on them that everything would change once the went back to school. Rachel grabbed the dishes trying not to look at him knowing anything she felt would have to change. She was about to walk away when he stopped her.
"What does this mean, what about when we go back?" She asked trying not to cry.
"Does this explain it?" He was about to lean in to kiss her.
"We are here!" Kurt's loud voice filled the house. Rachel and Puck looked at each other and backed away.
