A/N : Hmm, did people not enjoy chapter 15? Because even though I don't write for the reviews, I have to say I was a little disappointed that it got only one. (Although it did receive more favs and follows and I did also recieve some lovely PM's - so thanks to those people, you know who you are!)
However as much as this story is featuring Puckleberry as a couple, you have to fully understand that this is not a complete full out story with just them. (Just like FRIENDS wasn't completely Ross and Rachel either; but also about the others too)
So yes there will be times when there isn't going to be a lot of things involving Puck or Rachel, because there is going to be 4 other characters that I also have to focus on.
I'm not going to be influenced like RM clearly was on the direction the show should take by viewers, or in this case readers - because I know exactly and have planned out where this story is going, and have pretty much an idea of what is happening in each chapter.
And as for last chapter, well I wanted to give Sam an interesting storyline (at least I thought that it was), but guessing no one else really felt that way about it.
Anyway, not dwelling on the lack of love for the previous chapter, it is what it is, and
I'll continue to write for me regardless, because without it, well I wouldn't be me at all.
So this chapter, I'm not completely happy with it, but it is what it is.
It's really hard to write around a song, as I had to do in this chapter and you will see why when you read it, why I needed it in the story and not just actually referred to.
Anyway let me all know what you think and I apologize for the delay in updating.
Enjoy,
love KJ. xxx
Chapter 16 –
Rachel was busily running around the apartment, packing things into a large bag that she had sitting in the living room.
"Shoes, shoes" said Rachel, running into her bedroom.
Mikki who was sitting at the table, reading the paper looked at her friend and laughed as she went running off.
"Rach, you still have like three days before you have to go to Philly" said Mikki.
"I know, but I want to be prepared" replied Rachel, as she came out of the bedroom, with a pair of her favorite shoes and put them in the bag.
"There's being prepared and then there is being over prepared" said Mikki, standing from the table.
"I just don't want to be in Philadelphia, and realize that I have forgotten something. Because then it's going to be on my mind, and that's going to impact my performance, and then people will hate the show and my Broadway career will be as good as over" said Rachel.
"Rach, just breathe. I'm sure you're not going to be thinking about forgetting something, if you have that is, when you get up on stage" said Mikki.
Rachel nodded and looked at her roommate and best friend.
"You're right" she replied.
"Yes, well I have been dealing with Rachel Berry dramas now for how many years" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"And my your dramas" replied Rachel with a laugh.
"Yeah, come on. We should be getting to the coffee house to meet the others" said Mikki.
"Uh huh" replied Rachel, and the two of them left Rachel's madness of packing till later and headed to the coffee shop to meet the others.
#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#
The six friends were in the coffee shop, much like they were on most Friday nights.
"So why don't you have Jay with you this weekend?" asked Brittany.
"Since it's the holidays, I'm going to have him for two weeks when I get back with Rachel from Philly, so Santana and Dani can go on a holiday just the two of them" replied Puck.
Brittany pouted. "I wanted baby snuggles".
"Well you can heaps of baby snuggles, I promise, when I have him soon" said Puck.
"Good, and if you and Rachey want to have a night to yourself. I will gladly babysit" said Brittany.
"I believe I am the first one who gets the babysitting rights" said Mikki, looking over at her friend.
"You always get babysitting rights, no fair" said Brittany.
Mikki laughed. "Fine you can have babysitting duty one night".
Brittany nodded with a smile, as Will entered the coffee shop and walked over to them all.
"Rachel" said Will, when he approached.
Rachel looked at her co star, as did all the others and stood up.
"Will hi" she replied.
"Hey" replied Will, giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
"So this place is cute" said Will.
Rachel nodded. "Yeah, and these are my friends. That's Brittany, Sam, Blaine and Mikki" she said pointing to each of them when saying their names.
"Hey, lovely to meet you" said Will.
"You too" said Blaine.
"And this is amazing guy, is my boyfriend Noah" said Rachel, as she gestured to him.
Will looked at him and held out his hand. "Lovely too finally meet you. Rach talks about you constantly".
"Yes, pleasure" replied Puck, shaking Will's hand.
"So you're playing Nick" said Mikki, as Rachel sat back down next to Puck on the sofa and Will grabbed a chair and sat on that.
"Yeah, it's a great role" he replied.
"Well yes, but Rachel of course is going to be the star of the show" said Puck, putting his arm around Rachel's shoulder.
"Oh she will be. I can definitely see this being Rachel's big break out on Broadway" said Will.
"So you've done a few shows then?" asked Sam.
Will nodded. "Original Link in Hairspray and also played a major role in Light in the Pizzazz, as well as having done some other roles in small parts and chorus such as 42nd Street, Chorus Line and Wicked".
"So you must be pretty old then. You look old" said Brittany.
Will looked at her and laughed. "I'm 35".
"That's old compared to us" said Brittany, as Kurt came over with some of the coffees that the others had ordered.
"Can I get you something?" asked Kurt, looking at Will and then become quite shocked when he realized a Broadway actor was in his shop.
"A latte would be great" replied Will.
Kurt nodded. "You're Will Schuester right, you were in Hairspray?" asked Kurt.
"I am and I was" replied Will.
"You're amazing. I really loved the song "It Takes Two" and was so glad they only had Efron sing a small part of it in the movie version" said Kurt.
"Well thank you, it's always nice to meet a fan" said Will.
Kurt nodded. "Yeah, it you could sing here tonight, that would be totally amazing".
"Actually, I was thinking of it anyway. Rach already mentioned that you have like an open mic night here" said Will.
"Yeah, I'll get you your coffee and you can decide what you want to sing. Anything you want" replied Kurt.
"Okay" replied Will.
Kurt just nodded, still a little star struck and went back over to the counter to get the coffee order.
"So what I just go up there?" asked Will, looking at the others.
"Yeah, and you can either choose to play the piano or there is a song bank with like a million songs in it" said Blaine.
Will nodded. "Well I don't play the piano, only the guitar and ukulele".
"So song bank it is I guess" said Mikki.
"Yeah" replied Will.
"Are you going to do something from one of your Broadway shows?" asked Rachel.
Will shook his head. "No that's kind of cliché, I want to show another side of my musical talents tonight" he replied, standing up and going over to the song bank.
"So he's nice right" said Rachel, when Will was out of earshot.
"He's kind of old" said Brittany.
"Cute in a way though, and older guys can actually be better in the long term" said Mikki.
"Why do girls always want older guys?" asked Sam.
"Because girls mature faster then guys" said Brittany, as Will grabbed the microphone, after having found the song he wanted to perform.
"Uhh, hi everyone I'm Will Schuster and for those of you who don't know me, I'm an actor on Broadway and about to star in the newest musical to hit the stage Funny Girl, with the beautiful, gorgeous and talented Rachel Berry over there" said Will, pointing in her direction.
Rachel blushed and Puck glared at him.
"So tonight, I wanted to sing something for you. Something fun, that shows off my vast musical talents. So enjoy" said Will, grabbing a microphone and hitting play on the song bank machine.
Bust it
This here's a tale for all the fellas
Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us
Will moved away from the stage and went over to the others sitting down.
Get shot down 'cause you're over zealous
Play hard to get, females get jealous
He looked at Rachel and smiled.
Okay smartie, go to a party
Girls are scantily clad and showin' body
A chick walks by, you wish you could sex her
sang Will, as he winked at Rachel. Which saw Puck giving him the biggest of death stares.
But you're standin' on the wall like you was Poindexter
he continued and pointed at Puck.
Next day's function, high class luncheon
Food is served, and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much, you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
continued Will as he moved near Brittany and sang.
Said she wanna dance 'cause she likes the groove
So come on, fatso, and just bust a move
Uh, hey, ya, uh, uh, hey, ya
Just bust a move
Uh, hey, uh, ya, uh, hey, ya, uh, uh
You're on a mission and you're wishin'
Someone could cure your lonely condition
Lookin' for love in all the wrong places
No fine girls, just ugly faces
sang Will as he looked at Puck with a smile.
From frustration, first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a light of hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
Your movie's showin', so you're goin'
Could care less about the five you're blowin'
Theater gets dark just to start the show
Will made his way over to the show and over to Sam.
And then you spot a fine woman sittin' in your row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello
continued Will pointing out a girl in the coffee shop that was indeed wearing a yellow coloured shirt.
Come sit next to me, you fine fellow"
You run over there without a second to lose
sang Will going over to her and putting his arm around the unknown girl.
And what comes next, hey bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Just bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
In the city, ladies look pretty
Will moved over to Blaine as he continued to sing.
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says, "no way"
sang Will as he tapped Mikki on the head.
Girls are fakin', goodness sakin'
They want a man who brings home the bacon
He winked as sang in the direction of Mikki.
Got no money, and you got no car
Then you got no woman, and there you are
sang Will as he pointed to Blaine.
Some girls are sadistic, materialistic
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
They're lyin' on the beach perpetratin' a tan
So that a brother with the money can be their man
sang Will with a wink at Brittany
So on the beach you're strollin', real high rollin'
Everything you have is yours and not stolen
A girl runs up with somethin' to prove
So don't just stand there, bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Just bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Break it down for me, fellas
Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
Sang Will as he went over to where Kurt was behind the counter of the coffee shop.
He's hopin' you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say "neato," check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting
Kurt looked at him as he continued to sing, and he went over to the others with some coffees.
So you start thinkin', then you start blinkin'
A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin'
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
Will put his arm around Kurt's shoulder and gave him a nod and Kurt just looked at him and shook his head.
And then you're feelin' really fine 'cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin'
Look at the girl, and your heart starts thumpin'
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do, G, bust a move
You want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Just bust a move
If you want it, you got it
If you want it, baby, you got it
Move it, boy
Will went up to the little raised stage area when the song finished and put the microphone back.
People in the coffee shop politely applauded, and Will went over to Rachel and the others, and grabbed his coffee and then sat down.
"That was awesome, right" he said.
"It was something" said Blaine, looking at his friends.
"So besides Rachel any of you sing?" asked Will.
"Yeah, I'm a music teacher at Julliard" replied Blaine.
"Wow, that's impressive" said Will, looking at him with a nod.
"And Puck can play the piano and guitar as well" said Rachel.
"So maybe you and this guy here or even Rachel since we know she can obviously sing, can do something then" said Will.
"I'm resting my voice" replied Rachel.
"And I really don't feel like singing anything tonight" said Puck.
"Hmm, that's a pity. I would have loved to have heard something from you" said Will, looking at him.
"We're not all in the business of showing off" said Blaine, and Will looked at him.
"Hmm, so what other stuff besides you being a music teacher are you all doing?" asked Will, looking at the others.
"I'm football coach at one of the nearby high schools" said Puck.
"Football, yeah you look that type" said Will.
"His team are actually state champions" said Rachel.
"Hmm, impressive" replied Will and looked over to Mikki.
"What do you do?" he asked.
"I work in advertising" replied Mikki.
"I'm a dance teacher at Julliard" said Brittany.
"Model and actor" said Sam.
Will looked over to him. "Really, been in anything good?".
"Umm yeah the new Daredevil movie that is releasing soon actually" said Sam.
"That's kind of a big thing" said Will.
Sam shrugged his shoulders. "It's nothing big really, but Mik knew one of the guys working camera, so he was able to get me a small part in it" said Sam.
"You know camera men in Hollywood" said Will, pointing to Mikki.
Mikki nodded. "Yeah my ex from high school. Puck and Rach actually know him as well, since we all went to high school together" said Mikki.
"So that's how you all know one another, I was wondering about that" said Will.
"Well actually, only Rachel, Mikki and I went to high school together. And Mik is actually also my cousin" said Puck.
"Yeah, I met Puck in college we were roommates freshman year, became buds and then both of moved to New York, where we met Britt who I work with and Sam became my roommate over a year ago when I put an advert out for a new one" said Blaine.
"Okay, so kind of a like a collective group of friends, from everywhere really" said Will.
"That's pretty much it, although I would say these guys are more like my family" said Brittany.
"Aww, that's sweet Britts" said Sam.
"I know, but you are" said Brittany, with a smile at him.
"Well as much as I would love to stay some more, I really need to be getting back to the apartment and finish packing for Philly" said Rachel.
"Rach, we've been through this" said Mikki.
"I know, I know. I just want to be organized though" she replied.
"I'll go with you then, make sure you don't go into full meltdown when packing" said Puck, with a laugh.
Rachel looked at him and frowned and Puck kissed her.
"I'll see you at the run through tomorrow Will" said Rachel, standing from the sofa.
"Sure" replied Will, as Puck also stood up.
"Really nice to have met you Noah" said Will.
"Yeah you too" replied Puck, looking at the older guy.
"See you guys later" said Rachel.
"I'll call you tomorrow Rachey" said Brittany.
"Okay, I'll see the rest of you later" said Rachel.
Sure Rach" replied Sam.
"Bye guys" said Puck, and he and Rachel left the coffee shop.
The remaining four looked at each other and also Will.
"Well as great as this has been to meet you all. I really should get going as well" said Will.
"It was really nice to meet you" said Brittany.
"Yes, nice to have met all of you as well. And I hope that you will get a chance to see the show" said Will.
"Oh we will, as soon as it opens on Broadway we're going to be going" said Sam.
"Right, opening night in fact. Rachel has already made sure we all have the date clear" said Blaine.
"Well I'll see you all then" said Will, standing up from where he was sitting.
"You will" replied Mikki.
"Bye" said Will and left the coffee shop.
"He's certainly interesting" said Sam.
"From what I have seen typical Broadway person, thinks they're the greatest thing ever" said Blaine.
"And he definitely thinks that" said Mikki and the four of them remained at the coffee shop a little longer to talk amongst themselves.

Rachel and Puck were up in the apartment after having left the coffee shop, and the others who had decided to stay there and have more coffee.
Puck still was highly unimpressed with the way Will acted and also was pretty sure that Rachel hadn't minded the attention. He was sitting on the sofa flicking through the channels of the tv, whilst Rachel made some tea.
She walked over to him and placed the teas on the table and then sat down next to him on the sofa, kissing him on the cheek and Puck looked at her and smiled.
"What's wrong?" asked Rachel.
"Nothing" replied Puck, with a small smile.
"Noah come on, I know you well enough to know when something is bothering you" said Rachel.
Puck sighed and muted the television, throwing the remote on the sofa next to him and looked at Rachel.
"I just don't like that Will guy" he replied.
"You don't like him" said Rachel.
Puck shook his head. "He just seems kind of sleazy and the song he sung tonight proved it".
"Oh he was just having a little fun" replied Rachel.
"A little fun. He sang a song called Bust A Move to a full coffee shop audience and was really inappropriate in the way he made reference to some of our friends with the lines in it" said Puck.
"That's just the actor in him though, it's not like he literally meant anything by it" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her. "Do you like this guy?" he asked.
"Of course I do, he's my co star" replied Rachel.
"No, I don't mean in that way. I mean do you like him as more then that" said Puck.
Rachel looked at her boyfriend. "Noah, no of course not. I can't believe you would even think that".
"Well here clearly likes you a lot, and he wasn't afraid to let everyone there tonight know that" said Puck.
"I can't believe you're getting worked up over this. Will is my co-star" said Rachel.
"Your co star who you're having to kiss on stage every time you perform" said Puck.
"Noah, you are the only one I have eyes for I promise" said Rachel, kissing him.
"I know, it's just I can't be there every night that you're on stage to keep an eye on him" replied Puck.
"You don't need to be keeping an eye on him Noah, because I promise the only man for me is the one right here" she replied.
Puck looked at her and nodded. "Okay, yeah I believe you on that. It's just that it scares me other guys finding you attractive and all that. Because let's face it I am not the best looking guy on the planet".
"You are to me, and besides looks aren't everything and I love you for more than the way you look" said Rachel.
"Really" said Puck.
Rachel nodded. "Yeah, I love how sweet and kind you are, even though you try and put on this tough guy act. And I also love how protective you are of your family and how you won't let anyone hurt them. I love the way you make me feel and how you can make me feel instantly better with just a hug or a kiss. I love that you aren't afraid to cry if we're watching a sad movie and I also am completely in love with your singing voice, and love it when you sing to me when it just the two of us around and no one else. I could go on and on, telling you what I love about you Noah Puckerman, but all you need to know is this. You are it for me, there is never going to be anyone else that I will ever love as much as you" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her and smiled. "You are so amazing Rach. And I am never going to love anyone as much as you either" said Puck, kissing her.
"Hmm, I think we need to be proving to one another just how much" said Rachel, with a smile.
"Agree, and apartment is empty and we know that Mikki won't be hearing you when you scream" said Puck, kissing her.
Rachel laughed and the two of them headed to her bedroom, forgetting all about the teas that Rachel had just made.
SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#SNOTYLWGTBTW#
Tuesday morning, Rachel was again running around the apartment madly, making sure that everything she needed was packed for the two week run in Philadelphia.
"Rachel, stop" said Puck, going over to his girlfriend and pulling her in for a hug.
Rachel looked at him.
"If you haven't got everything you need. Let me know and I will go and get it for you. For the next two weeks I want you to focus on nothing but being brilliant on stage" said Puck, kissing her.
Rachel just nodded and kissed Puck back.
"I'm so looking forward to the next two weeks alone, and not having to see this every single day" said Mikki as she came out of her bedroom.
"Sure, you're going to use an empty apartment to your advantage as well" said Puck, looking over to his cousin.
"Totally, late night movie nights are definitely planned" said Mikki.
"Fun" replied Puck, with a laugh.
"Yep" replied Mikki, as the door to the apartment opened and Blaine, Sam and Brittany walked in.
"There's our soon to be Fanny Brice" said Blaine, going over to her and giving her a hug.
Rachel laughed at returned the hug.
"Thanks" she replied.
"You're going to be amazing Rachel" said Sam, giving her a hug as well.
"I know, just kind of scared as well, this is it. What I've been dreaming of since I was a little girl" she replied.
"Well you're going to be great, and this is from all of us for good luck" said Mikki, as Brittany handed her a gift bag that she had with her.
"You guys, didn't have to get me anything" said Rachel.
"I know, but I saw this and thought it was pretty perfect for you" said Mikki.
"And so you wouldn't see it she had it sent to me for safekeeping" said Brittany.
Rachel laughed and looked in the bag, to see a Barbie box.
"A Barbie doll" said Rachel, taking it out of the bag, but then gasped when she saw what the Barbie, or rather who the Barbie was.
"Oh my god, thank you, thank you" said Rachel, looking at the Barbra Streisand Barbie.
"Taking by that reaction, you don't have one" said Brittany.
Rachel shook her head and looked at her friends.
"You guys, are just the best friends ever, thank you" said Rachel, handing the doll to Puck who looked at it as Rachel went over to her friends and hugged them each.
"You deserve all this Rach, and when Mikki told us what she had found we knew instantly it was perfect for you" said Blaine.
"Thank you really. I don't know how I would have gotten through everything after what happened with Jesse if it wasn't for you guys" said Rachel.
"Well we're always here for you, you know that" said Sam.
Rachel nodded.
"We better get going Rach, otherwise we're going to miss the train" said Puck.
"Yeah" replied Rachel, with a nod.
"Good luck, you're going to be fabulous" said Sam, giving her a hug.
"Exactly, and we will be thinking of you when that curtain goes up on the first performance" said Blaine, hugging her also.
"Break a leg" said Brittany, hugging her.
Rachel looked at her. "Not figuratively of course, I just mean good luck and all that" said Brittany.
Rachel laughed. "I knew what you meant Britts, thanks" she replied.
"Good luck, but most of have fun with it too Rach. You've worked hard for this" said Mikki, hugging her.
"Thanks" replied Rachel.
Puck picked up his small bag and also Rachel's slightly larger bag.
"See you guys in two weeks" said Puck.
"Bye" said Rachel, blowing kisses at her friends as she opened the door and her and Puck left the apartment.
"So pizza here tonight?" asked Sam, looking at the others.
"Why is it always here at my place you guys seem to be?" asked Mikki.
"Because you have the best apartment, duh" said Blaine.
"Fine, as long as you also bring wine and or beer as well, you guys can hang out here tonight again as usual" said Mikki, with a laugh, as her cell phone which was on the table in the kitchen area started to ring.
"Well I have some private music lessons booked today, so I'll see you tonight" said Blaine.
"Yeah, and I'm going to meet Cyndy since we hardly get a chance to have some girl time and go shopping" said Brittany.
"Have fun then, tell Cyndy I will call her soon" said Mikki.
"I will" replied Brittany.
Mikki nodded as her cell phone that was sitting on the kitchen table started to ring.
"See you guys" said Brittany.
"Yeah bye" replied Sam, and Brittany and Blaine left the apartment.
"Hello" said Mikki, as she answered her phone, and Sam went over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
Mikki listened to what the person on the other end of the phone was saying.
"I can't come in, I've made appointments today, knowing that I had the day off" said Mikki, to the person on the other end, and then groaned in frustration at what was being said by the other person.
"Okay, okay. Fine I will be there in half an hour" said Mikki and ended the call.
"Work?" asked Sam.
Mikki looked at her friend and nodded.
"Yep, even though it was meant to be a day off and I had planned appointments at the hairdresser and gynecologist" said Mikki.
"Okay I don't need to know about lady doctor appointments" said Sam, with a laugh.
Mikki laughed also. "Well it's just the same as a guy getting one of their examinations, nothing to be ashamed of".
"Right yeah okay. So I'll grab some pizza for tonight and we can watch some movies" said Sam.
"Sounds liked a plan to me" said Mikki.
Sam nodded. "Okay, well I'll see you tonight then".
"Yeah, see you tonight. I should go and put on something other than this, because I don't think Sue will be too impressed with me rocking up to work in this kind of dress" said Mikki, referring to the long style maxi she was wearing with open toed shoes.
Sam laughed. "Yeah, later".
"Later" said Mikki, and Sam left her apartment and Mikki then went to change before she headed into work for the day.

Friday night in Philadelphia, it was the opening night for the previews of Funny Girl. Rachel had spent the morning with Puck, having a relaxing day and then in the afternoon gone to the theatre for last minute run through, to make sure all was set so that opening could commence.
She was sitting in the dressing room, that was solely hers, since there were quite a few costume changes and she needed to be able to do this quickly and efficiently in a large space. Putting the final touches to her makeup, even though majority was done by a makeup artist to make sure coverage was even, a knock on the door moved her out of her train of thought.
"It's open" said Rachel, glancing over to the dressing room door.
The door opened and Puck walked in with a huge bunch of flowers. "For the loving leading lady, flowers".
Rachel looked at her boyfriend and laughed. "You got me flowers already, Noah".
"I know, these aren't from me" said Puck.
Rachel stood up and went over to him, and grabbed the little card that was attached to the flowers.
"Dearest Rachel. Good luck on opening. Can't wait to see you back here soon on the Broadway stage. Lots of love Mikki, Blaine, Sam and Brittany" read Rachel, from the card.
"Told you weren't from me" said Puck, with a laugh.
"Ohh, that's so sweet of them" said Rachel, taking the flowers and going and placing them on the table along with the others that she had received including those from Puck and her dad's back in Ohio.
"Yeah, sweet sure. But I get a text message from Mik, half an hour ago telling me she's ordered them from a nearby florist, but wasn't going to pay fifty dollars extra for delivery. So she said her cousin would collect them as he was close by" said Puck.
Rachel laughed and grabbed her phone off her dresser. "I still think it's sweet" she replied as she sent a text message to her friends back in New York to thank them for the flowers.
Puck laughed also and nodded.
"Ms Berry, ten minutes to stage" said one of the stage hands coming into the dressing room.
"Okay thank you" said Rachel, looking at them with a nod.
"Well I should be getting to my seat" said Puck, looking at Rachel.
Rachel went over to him and hugged him. "Thank you for being here with me, I couldn't have gotten through these last few days without you by my side".
"Of course, anything for you my gorgeous American Jewish princess" said Puck.
Rachel smiled and Puck kissed her on the cheek, so not to ruin her makeup.
"You're going to be fabulous Rach. I love you, see you after the show" said Puck.
"Intermission. Please come backstage then. I'll make sure they know to let you through" said Rachel.
"Okay" replied Puck, with a smile.
"Good luck, I love you" said Puck and went to leave the dressing room.
"Love you too" replied Rachel.
Puck gave her a last smile and then left the dressing room.
Rachel headed to side of stage, doing last minute vocal exercise warm ups, before the curtain finally opened on her biggest performance yet.
End Note:
Song used in story does not belong to me, just borrowing for the sake of entertainment, I therefore disclaim this (Bust A Move - Glee version sung by Matt Morrison).
I know that Will was kind of sleazy in this - but it's for a reason and well you will soon see as to what effects this is going to have on everyone.
Like I have said, I have planned this all out. So I know exactly where this is going, how many chapters there are and also how it will end completley.
I also have another new story up on here, titled "Brother, Oh Brother" it is completely different from anything I have written for Glee before; and I would love for you all to check it out and tell me what you think.
Anyway, bear with me guys because the best is yet to come!
Love KJ. xxx
