Rachel was behind the bar helping her mother with he orders. The party turned out to be a real success.
"Oh god, i didn't expect this many people" Rachel said grinning to her mother who was coming back with an empty tray.
"Baby girl go have fun" Her mother said smiling, putting her hand on the try Rachel was about to pick up.
"But mam you need help" Rachel said smiling. She didn't really like to mingle.
"No i don't honey" Her mother said laughing. "I have staff here all night. Now please step away from the bar and go see your best friend, she just walked in."
Rachel turned around to see Quinn running towards her with a big smile "Hey best friend" Quinn said hugging Rachel "I'm so glad your here for all the party's this year" Quinn said letting go of Rachel.
"I know, i'm happy to be home" Rachel said smiling "I didn't meet anyone like you while i was away"
"I bluddy bet you didn't" Quinn said in a serious tone "I am one of a kind" She said smirking "Come on lets dance i love this song" She said pulling Rachel to the dancefloor.
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Dance. Dance. Dance. Just dance.
Rachel and Quinn had been dancing for about a minute when someone stepped in between them.
"Do you mind" Quinn said annoyed walking to stand next to Rachel.
It was one of the guys from the football team, he was called Thomas, he was the thickest person ever.
"Hello Rachel Puckerman" Thomas said trying to sound seductive, but instead just sounded ridicules.
Quinn pretended to be sick while Rachel tried not to laugh.
"Hello Thomas whoever" Rachel said.
"My name is smith. Thomas Smith" Thomas said proudly.
"Oh my god" Quinn laughed "When i thought you couldn't get anymore thick you do" She said still laughing.
"Anyways" Thomas said ignoring Quinn looking back to Rachel. "I was thinking that maybe me and you could go somewhere quiet and you know make out?"
Quinn let out a strange noise and put her hand to her mouth. "Don't mind me" She said looking at Rachel who was about to laugh.
"Sorry Thomas, weren't you there when my brother told you all to back off"? She asked.
"Don't worry babe, he came to see me in private and said only me was aloud to ask you out, he knew you wouldn't be able to resit me" He said trying to look sexy.
"He did, did he, I have to go now" Rachel said dragging Quinn's arm "I'm already dating someone" She added not thinking.
"You are?" Both Thomas and Quinn asked in surprise
Rachel looked at Quinn and raised her eyebrows. Quinn then understood.
"Yeah she is" Quinn said nodding "She's dating" Quinn said looking round the room.
"Me" Said a voice coming in and putting an arm around Rachel's neck. "So back off".
"Yeah" Rachel said joining her fingers with the guys. "Sorry i'm taken" She added
"Oh right" Thomas said nodding. "Sorry Sam, i didn't mean to"
"It's fine" Sam said moving his arm from Rachel's neck and putting it round her waist dragging her closer. "But no hitting on her again" Sam said warning him off.
"Yeah, their's others"Thomas said walking away.
As soon as Thomas was out of sight, Sam loosened his grip. "Wow your lucky i stepped in, Thomas? I bet everyone wished they were you" Sam said laughing.
"I know" Rachel said rolling her eyes. "You saved me" She said laughing kissing his cheek.
"For this kind of prize i will save you whenever" Sam said winking "How about a dance?" Sam asked.
"Yeah" Rachel said blushing "But first i need to go kill my brother but after that i will" She added with a smile.
"Okay, i will find you later" Sam said still looking at Rachel. "Hey Q" He said nodding.
"Hey" Quinn nodded back and took Rachel's arm.
"I'll help you find Puck" She said walking away. Once they were away Quinn slapped Rachel's arm "You lucky bitch! Sam is so hot, he totally has a thing for you" She added.
"I don't know" Rachel said uncomfortable.
"Whats there to know?" Asked Quinn "He is cute, kind, caring and has the whole package. Give him a chance" Quinn smiled.
"Okay" Rachel said shrugging. "Where is my brother" She said changing the subject.
"There" Quinn pointed towards Puck and Santana. Quinn followed Rachel she loved the Puckerman twin arguments.
Rachel walked to the table and crossed her arms.
"Hey little sis" Puck smiled
"Hey baldy" Rachel said to Puck "Santana you look beautiful by the way" She said smiling
Puck touched his hair "Baldy?" Puck asked feeling if his hair was there "I guess i don't get you new humor".
""Oh you will". Rachel said glaring at Puck "When you have bleach in your shampoo, you will get it" She added.
"What did i do?" He asked
"Two words! Thomas Smith" She she glaring "Your going to pay" She added.
"Oh i'm scared" Puck said lowering his head.
"You should be" Rachel said in a warning tone.
"Anyways" Puck said "I'm staying at Santana's tonight so-"
"But Noah! You promised you would drive me home at midnight" Rachel said in a angry tone. "It will be 6am in London and i said i would skype Jessie".
"Chill out will you" Puck said sighing "I think you should move on" he added.
"That's not the point" Rachel said hitting her brothers head "And don't worry i am moving on".
"I asked Finn to drive you home" Puck said laughing "I'm just messing, i don't want you to mess up your calling time with Jessie, so Finn will" Puck added.
"I heard my name" Finn said walking over with three drinks. "Hey girls" Finn said ignoring Quinn and looking at Rachel.
"Don't worry, it was only because my sister was threatening me" Puck said laughing.
"It's more of an warning Noah" Rachel added
The song wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton started playing in the background.
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.
"I love this song" Quinn said smiling "Come on Rach let's dance" She said jumping up and down.
"Yeah, to get hit on by another perv" Rachel asked "Nope".
Finn was about to ask her dance. But before he could open his mouth Sam was there.
Sam took Rachel's hand and placed it on his chest. He started singing along.
""You have a nice voice" Rachel said smiling "Maybe we could duet" She laughed
Sam nodded "A duet with you? Of course" he smiled "But i would love a dance first" He added with a smile.
Finn was stood glaring at Sam.
"Okay let's go" Rachel said twirling in Sam's arms. "I'm moving on" She mouthed to her brother.
"Yeah, it's good your moving on Rach" Quinn said glaring at Finn.
They had been dancing for a few minutes.
"So can i ask a question?" Sam asked with a worried tone in his voice.
"Shoot" Rachel said smiling.
"So if i asked you out on a date would you accept?" Sam asked looking down.
"Yeah i would" Rachel said smiling "But you know my brother would kill you" Added Rachel.
"I'll deal with your brother" He said smiling.
Once the song was over, Sam let go of Rachel but didn't want to.
"Thanks for the dance Sam" Rachel said kissing his cheek "But know i need to dance with Q" She added laughing.
After dancing for a while with Quinn, Rachel saw her brother leaving with Santana. They decided to sit down and order a drink.
"So" Finn said joining them and sitting next to Rachel "You've got loads to pick" he said forcing a smile "So who you leaving with tonight?" He asked in a bitter voice.
Rachel laughed. "Well you" She said winking.
"Yeah?" Finn asked surprised.
"Yeah, your driving me home" She said laughing. She looked at her watch "It's almost midnight, i'm just going to say bye to mam" She said with a smile walking away.
After she left Quinn started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Finn asked aggressively.
"You gotta love karma" She said laughing louder.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" He asked frowning.
"You don't deserve her" Quinn said getting up "She is finally letting go of you so back off" Quinn warned him.
"We'll see" Finn said also standing up noticing Rachel coming.
"Ready to go?" Rachel asked. She looked at both Finn and Quinn and knew something was wrong "Eveything okay?" She asked.
"Eveything's good" they both replied.
Rachel hugged Quinn goodbye and turned to smile at Finn.
He put his hand on her back and the two walked out.
As soon as his hand touched her back they both shivered.
Rach calm down, nothing will ever happen between us, Rachel thought to herself.
Stop it Finn, just calm down. Finn thought shaking his head.
This was going to be the longest drive home ever.
