What Happens Here, May Not Stay Here
Sarah's Point of View
I couldn't believe this, I was actually going to a cheerleader's pool party. I had taken an hour to try and figure out what I was wearing, it didn't help that I only had two bathing suits with two cover-ups to choose from. I thought I looked pretty cute though, definitely cute enough to attend a pool party.
I ended up wearing a purple tankini with matching bikini bottoms and a white, zip-up cover-up. My hair was in a high pony tail. I stared at myself in Kurt's full length mirror with a small smile on my face, yeah, I was definitely hot.
"Yo, Sarah, time to go if you don't want to endure the wrath of Rachel Berry," Finn yelled down the stairs.
"Coming!" I yelled back and with one last look in the mirror, I ran up the stairs.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
"Alright, so remember, if you get bored or lonely, just come find me or Kurt and we'll hang out with you," Finn turned and looked at me straight in the eyes.
"I think your sister will be fine, Finn," Rachel said, then smiled at me and climbed out of the car with Finn right behind her.
"Ugh, brothers," I muttered before grabbing the chocolate chip cookies Mom made and getting out of the car.
I walked into the backyard and gasped, it was easily the biggest one I have ever seen. The pool, suited with a slide and diving board, took up about half of the yard. In front of it was a tiled patio and behind it, a huge grassy area. Even with the volley ball net up, there was still enough room to just sit on the grass and hang out.
"Here, I'll take these," Santana came out of no where, but I gave her the cookies, "We're gonna have a volley ball tournament later and probably some classic pool games, so find a partner, preferably of the opposite sex," she turned and walked away.
I looked around the yard for someone who looked open for a conversation. Finn and Rachel were talking to Artie, Tina and Mike near the volley ball net. Kurt and Blaine had just arrived and had made their way to talk to Mercedes on the patio set. Santana and Brittany were in their own little world sitting next to the pool.
I finally saw who I was really looking for, Puck. He was standing at the barbecue grilling burgers and hot dogs. His grey muscle shirt clung to all the right places and his red swim trunks made him look even tanner than usual. As he grilled the food I could see his muscles move throughout his arms and they made my heart sort of stopped.
I paused for a second, I didn't like Puck did I? I mean, he was like a brother to me. But that's just it, he was like a brother to me. Things changed over the three years I was gone, so it was possible that I could like him. I stared at him for another minute and decided that I'll just wait and see what happens, he might still think of me as the little girl who hung around her brother and his best friend too much.
Puck then turned around and looked at the yard and the people in it. He finally turned far enough to see me and noticed that I was staring at him, making him laugh, "You gonna come over and talk or are you going to just stare at me?"
I blushed before making my way over to the griller, "Hey, stranger."
He laughed again, "Hey."
We stood in silence for a minute before I thought of Santana's small yellow bikini compared to my normal purple tankini ensemble, suddenly, I didn't feel so cute and grown-up anymore, "Do you think I look cute?" I blurted before giving a small, jealous glance at Santana.
Puck turned and looked at me, completely forgetting the burgers and hot dogs, "Sorry, but what?"
"I, uh, um, never mind," I couldn't believe I had blurted that out. Had I seriously just asked the guy that I potentially could have feelings for if I looked cute?
"No, no, you asked me if I thought you were cute," he looked confused.
I couldn't think of what to say, so I just looked at the ground knowing that the second I looked into his hazel eyes, I would ask the same stupid question. He's always had that affect on me, probably now more than ever.
Puck unfortunately knew this as well. He tilted my chin up with his pointer finger, making me look right in his eyes, "Sarah, I think you are beautiful, not cute, beautiful."
"Thanks," I whispered still looking right at him.
"Anytime, babe," he answered.
Slowly he leaned in towards me and just as I thought he was going to kiss me, the volleyball was thrown, hitting him on the top of his head.
We quickly pulled away from each other and looked up to where the ball had come from.
Santana was standing in the middle of the yard with her arms crossed, "So, you guys gonna play ball or would you like to make-out instead? My bedroom's open too, Puck."
"We're in," said Puck with a new determination in his voice, it also seemed to be tinged with a little anger, "And we'll be partners. And we'll go first," he grabbed my hand and we made our way over to the net.
As we passed Finn, I could feel his eyes burn into the back of my head. He looked like his ears would blow steam at the thought of me and Puck together.
"Alright, people, we've got a tournament to get to meaning Puck and Sarah's new thing will be put on hold," Puck grunted next to me at Santana's words and I couldn't help the redness rising up in my cheeks.
"It's going to be a two game elimination..."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
The laughter and screams of the chicken matches echoed against the huge house behind us in the pool.
Currently, Brittany was on Blaine's shoulders going against Rachel on Finn's. The two went at it for about five minutes, making Blaine and Finn groan every three seconds in pain. Finally, Rachel fell off into the water with a scream.
"Yes!" Brittany jumped off Blaine and the two of two of them screamed and hugged.
"You didn't win yet, Britt," Puck called from where the two of us were standing in the corner, "You guys have to go against Sarah and me still."
"Don't worry, we can win," Blaine reassured Brittany.
I rolled my eyes as Puck and I made our way over to the center circle.
"Alright, so final round, you guys ready?" Mike looked at the four of us.
"Bring it."
"I'm ready to push Sarah down. Is that what you mean?"
"Born ready."
"Of course."
"Alright then, girls, mount your boys," Mike backed away to spot Brittany as she climbed on Blaine's shoulders.
"Come on girl, we can do this," Puck muttered at me before dunking himself under water and setting himself up for me.
I climbed onto his shoulders with Finn supporting my back. I tapped Puck's head, signaling him to come up. He gasped as he stood above the water shakily, so I tightened my legs around his neck, accidentally making him sort of choke. Finn laughed at his pain before moving between our two teams.
"Ok, on the count of three," Finn's hand went into the air.
"One," Blaine and Puck grabbed onto our knees to steady us.
"Two," Brittany and I put our hands out in preparation for a fight.
"Three!" Blaine and Puck lunged at each other and Brittany and I grabbed each other's arms.
We spun in circles for the first minute before any of us spoke.
"Let's do this people, no more kiddie games," Puck grunted as he gripped my legs tighter.
As we got closer, the screams started. It was torn in half: Santana, Kurt, Mercedes, and Artie wanting Brittany and Blaine to win while Mike, Tina, Rachel, and Finn were rooting for Puck and me.
Brittany pushed my shoulders and I fell back, but not before Puck could stop me. My hair brushed the water before I felt strong hands slip up my waist and pull me up.
"Not on my watch," he said.
I still didn't have my balance quite right, but ignored it as I jumped at Brittany. My hands collided with hers and she screamed as she fell backwards, Blaine unable to stop her seeing as he fell back too.
I was still falling forward over Puck's head and we both became completely submerged in water. Everyone yelled and clapped, whether it was for joy or disappointment, you couldn't really tell.
Puck and I splashed up from the water, both sputtering and choking on it.
Blaine made his way over and clapped Puck on the back, "Nice game."
Puck nodded before turning to me, "You did good, Sars."
"Couldn't have done it if you hadn't have caught me," I smiled back.
"Sure, sure," and with that he began coughing again, "You really got me though that last dunk. I breathed in like two gallons of water."
"Sorry," I said before patting him on the back, rubbing circles every two pats like I remembered Mom doing whenever Finn or I had choked on something.
"Now that all the games are done," everyone turned towards our hostess, "Who's ready to party?"
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
The sky had turned black, the stars were out, no clouds in the sky, the moon and fire-pit emitting the only lights in the backyard.
"Alright, Sarah, Rachel, I think it's time to go home," Finn announced. He was sitting next to his girlfriend on a blanket across the fire from me.
Rachel nodded and began gathering herself up. Everyone else began following suit, grabbing their stuff and whoever they had driven here with.
I turned and looked at Puck who had kept his arm around me the rest of the day after the pool, "Do you wanna come over tomorrow?"
He raised his eyebrows at me, but smiled all the same, "And what should I plan on doing with you?"
"Practice our duet," I said as Puck helped me up from the ground. From the corner of my eye I could see Finn stop and stare before Rachel pushed him forward.
"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow. Say, noon?"
My heart started pounding like when I had first arrived at the party and first set eyes on him, "Sounds good," I nodded with a smile.
Puck placed his hand on my back and curled me into a hug, "Good night, Sarah."
"Good night," I muttered into his chest. He pulled away and smiled before leaning down and picking up the blanket we had been sitting on.
I made my way over to where Finn and Rachel were waiting under the porch lights, talking, or more like arguing, softly. It looked like Rachel was winning though, but that's not hard when my brother's involved.
"Just don't get pregnant, sis," Finn said as I approached and he turned towards the gate to get to the front.
I glanced at Rachel who smiled at me and winked before turning to follow Finn.
Had my brother just given me permission to go out with Noah Puckerman?

I love getting the e-mails saying someone new added my story to an alert or something. PLEASE REVIEW! In my head I really only have next chapter and maybe two others thought out, so I would love ideas if anyone has any! Questions, comments, and concerns are also welcome!

Sneak Peak: I couldn't believe I was doing this, staking out on the stairs to my sister's bedroom. But if I thought about it, it was my bedroom so I really wasn't staking out, just pausing before going in. Yeah, that's what I was doing. And I kinda enjoyed this, it was like a radio show was being held in my basement.
Thoughts on the thinker of this? You kinda only have two choices. It'll be an interesting and fun chapter to right.
