In the hotel room puck was rubbing santannas feet. Her boots which'd been killing her for the last few hours were off.
"You won't tell anyone will you?" she asked.
"I think we've already run that risk at rehearsal earlier," he said.
She sighed; "yeah I know. Think they know?"
"idinno. They know something."
"Yeah. I know."
"But no I wo'nt tell."
"Ok."
"You know this is illegal right?"
"Yeah and that's….another reason why I don't want you to tell. Well. That and I don't want them to see me as a whore."
To which puck laughed; "santanna I'm sorry but I thin they already do."
"As, more of one I mean."
"Oh."
"You've fuked every guy in school."
"And that. Hasn't changed. So why'd you drop by?" she wanted to know.
"We made a deal remember? Back in rehearsal? And, after the day I've had….i could use some sex," he replied.
"Yeah and so could I even though. I'm tired of it."
"How could you, be tired of sex?"
"No I'm tired of always being the one giving it. Of always having to make sure I have the birth control."
"Oh. But I thought that was the point."
"Yeah but it's turned into such a…."
"Job?" he guessed.
She laughed because of the obviousness of the statement: "well yes."
"You know," he began, "we don't always have to have sex. I could come up here and do this."
"Yeah. Ok. Hey."
"Yeah?"
"Where'd you get the jewelry?"
"The mall I told you."
"No puck," santanna said having caught on.
Keep calm puck he told himself.
"You don't really have enough money to buy it. Do you."
It was more of a statement than a question.
"i. um."
"You've promised me you won't tell anyone my secret. And I won't tell yours."
He sighed, relieved: "okk. Hey what if we made a deal?"
She was interested: "yeah what?"
"Whenever one of us wanted sex or. Whatever. We could call up the other any time day or night. I wouldn't have to pay you unless you wanted or needed the money."
"Ok. You mean like a relationship?"
"Yeah kindof. Except that ….I'm interested in Lauren."
"Lauren?"
He spread his hands wide: "the, larger brunette who joined the club today."
"Oh. How do you know her?"
"She, introduced herself after rehearsal."
"Oh. And I'm interested in Ashley."
"Ashley?" puck asked vaguely recognizing the name.
"The new blonde. She was in pink. Pretty?"
"Oh her."
"Yeah."
"Yeah that's fine."
"Ok then we have a deal."
