Chapter 6 Dirty Little Secret

She ignored him for a week, well he ignored her too but she tried to tell herself that she was the one indeed doing the ignoring. It wasn't until there was a tap at her window well over a week later that she decided it was truly her turn to ignore him. Going over she opened her curtains and just stared at him.

"Let me in, Rach." Noah said and she shook her head before shutting the blinds, curtains, and turning the light off for good measure. An hour later he was still out there and she groaned as she opened her curtains to see him.

"What can I do for you, Puck? Should I call 911 for someone stalking me in my second story window?" She asked in a much harsher tone than she realized until his visible flinch said otherwise.. "Sorry, come in, I guess. Though I don't know why." She moved away from the window after opening it and placing herself firmly on the bed with her arms crossed.

He climbed through her window just like she had been doing for months and scratched his head awkwardly making her roll her eyes. "Didn't think you'd get this far?" She asked.

"Not really." He replied as he moved to sit at her desk figuring that having some space between them would be for the bed, he was right. Her glare struck through him making his insides hurt and he sighed. This wasn't going to be easy.

He dug his heels into her carpet having no clue exactly what he wanted to say or really why he had shown up. He had missed her he guessed and that was probably the worst feeling like ever.

Slowly he looked up and at her happy to see her state had softened allowing him to decide to move over next to her.

"I'm sorry for last week, we crossed a line or something and it shouldn't have happened either time." He said softly her frown making him sigh. "Don't Rach, I know what you said but it's not right. I can't lose my best friend."

Before he could say anything else she interrupted him by kissing him making him pull back immediately. "Rachel." He mumbled and she shook her head.

"This is what I want. I have wanted you for month, Noah. Finn and I haven't been a real couple in months or ever, I don't know. I know that I like you, doesn't that mean something?" She asked and he sort of nodded sort of recoiled kind of afraid of her.

He was actually really afraid of her but that wasn't anything new.

"So what do you want to do?" He mumbled as he kept his distance from her still promising himself not to give in to her, not yet.

She shrugged though clearly haven't figured that out in the last week.

She hadn't.

"I don't know." Rachel said honestly as she moved from her bed and looked out the window he had just climbed in. "Breaking up with Finn would ruin what we have going with glee, not when we have a chance of winning." She murmured with a small shrug again. "I don't know what to do." She looked at him hoping for some answers and smiled softly. He was who she wanted to be with, that was all there was to it.

"I'm going to break up with him." She promised and for the first time he smiled at her making her heart swell as she walked over and sat on his lap before kissing him.

"We'll do what you said, sneak around for a bit." He murmured to her and she nodded back. "It'll be okay. This week has been hell without you around." He had never planned on falling for Rachel Berry when he first came through her window yet here he was practically head over heels without even realizing it.

Before he could push their kissing any farther she was off his lap and gesturing to the window. "Leave please, you will have a progress report after I have ended things with Finn and then we can talk. Until then we can't do this anymore. I will not cheat on Finn anymore than I already have, it's not okay nor is it right." She stated firmly.

With a nod Noah got up and walked over to her and let his fingers graze her sides before kissing her cheek. "Until next time, Rach." He whispered before heading out the window.

Note: Hi! Super short chapter but I really wanted to get a chapter out and needed this one to be shorter for muse reasons so that I can get a kick start on the next without any issues. Look for it soon!
