Chapter 38 –

Mikki and Blaine were out heading back to their apartment one Saturday afternoon after having been looking at flowers for the wedding.

They were walking along Lexington Avenue, when they saw Brody talking to a blonde woman near a hotel.

"I didn't think Brody worked out this way" said Blaine, as they neared him and then saw him kiss the blonde woman and then walk away.

"And whatever he's doing here doesn't look like work to me" said Mikki, looking at Blaine.

Blaine looked at her and shook his head.

Mikki looked over to where the blonde woman was, and saw that she was now on her typing on her phone, and looked at Blaine.

"Wait, right here" said Mikki, going to head over to the woman.

"Mik, don't" said Blaine.

Mikki though, however was now close to the blonde haired woman and cleared her throat. "Hi, excuse me?" she asked.

The blonde looked up from her phone. "Yes?"

"I was just wondering that guy you were with, who was he?" asked Mikki.

The blonde looked at her. "Are you interested in those type of services?"

"Services?" asked Mikki.

"Yes, male accompaniment that is what you were asking about isn't it" asked the blonde.

Mikki laughed slightly, trying to hide her shock at what she was hearing about Rachel's boyfriend. "Why, yes it is"

"Okay, yeah. Brody he is one of the best I have ever been with" said the blonde.

"Really now?" asked Mikki.

"Uh huh, and I can tell you he is worth every dollar I have given him" said the blonde.

"I bet he is" replied Mikki.

"So if you're interested I can give you his number" said the blonde.

"Umm, yeah that would be great. Because see my boyfriend over there, sometimes he just can't satisfy me" said Mikki.

"Oh, I know exactly what you mean. Some men just don't know how to please a woman" said the blonde.

Mikki just nodded.

"Do you have your phone?" asked the blonde.

"Oh, sure" replied Mikki, grabbing it out of her bag as the blonde went through her contacts on her phone to get the contact number for Brody.

"So this is his number" said the blonde, showing Mikki the number on her screen.

"Great, thank you" replied Mikki as she made a new contact, labelling it Gigolo, and entering in the number for Brody.

"Sure not a problem, and if you do give Brody a call. Can you drop my name, so I get a discount next time" said the blonde.

Mikki looked at her. "I can most certainly do that".

"Great, my names Terri Del Monico" replied the blonde.

"Well I will certainly pass your name on Terri" said Mikki.

"Thanks, and your name was?" asked Terri.

Mikki looked at her. "Umm Anne" replied Mikki, giving her middle name instead of her first name.

"Well, I hope you have a great time with Brody, Anne. And that your boyfriend doesn't get too jealous" said Terri.

"Oh he won't, we have an open relationship" replied Mikki, with a smile.

"Oh good, there the best kind" said Terri.

"Yes, thank you for this. I should get back over there" said Mikki, pointing to where Blaine was still standing, wondering what in the world Mikki was doing.

"Okay, lovely to meet you" said Terri.

"Yes you too" replied Mikki, and headed back over to Blaine as Terri also walked off, texting on her phone once again.

"You are never going to believe this" said Mikki, as she got back over to Blaine.

"Believe that you went and spoke to a complete stranger, yeah that I can" said Blaine.

Mikki looked at him and laughed. "Well yes I did that. But what I found out, well you're going to be disgusted"

Blaine looked at her and Mikki showed him the phone where she had the number and contact created for Brody.

"Gigolo" said Blaine.

"Uh huh, seems Brody is an, shall we say escort" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her, his eyes widening in shock. "He's a what?"

"He sells himself for money" said Mikki.

"Yeah, yeah. I get that, it's just hard to comprehend that's all" said Blaine.

Mikki nodded.

"We have to tell Rach" said Blaine.

"Oh and tell her what, we think your boyfriend is a gigolo" said Mikki.

"Yes, because we can't let her keep on dating him. Who knows who he is sleeping with and what he could have" said Blaine.

"As much as I agree with you, without proof actually of this, I don't know if Rach will believe me" said Mikki.

"Then get proof" said Blaine.

Mikki looked at him. "So what do you, my fiancé, want me to do? Call Brody and have me meet him somewhere and do what?"

"No, no I do not want you do anything with him" said Blaine.

Mikki laughed and wrapped her arms around him. "Don't want to go anywhere near his disease ridden dick anyway" she replied, kissing him.

"Can you call him, and ask to meet him somewhere and be there with Rachel when he arrives" said Blaine.

"Ohh, dinner tonight" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her. "Good idea, at the Boathouse since we're trying the menu with Rachel because of vegan dishes".

Mikki nodded and then dialled the number that she had gotten off Terri for Brody.

After a few rings, the call connected and Brody answered. "Hello, Brody speaking" came his voice on the other end.

"Oh yes, hello this is Anne. Your number was passed on to me by a woman called Terri Del Monico and she told me that you provide services to women" said Mikki, taking on a southern accent in order to talk with Brody, so that he would not be able to place her voice.

"Yes, that is correct" replied Brody, on the other end.

"That's wonderful, so if you're free by any chance tonight. I would love to schedule some time with you" said Mikki.

"I do have something else on, but I could maybe fit you in around eight o'clock" said Brody.

"Eight o'clock would be fine. And would it be okay if we met at a restaurant first, just so I can see if I am okay with this, I never done anything like this before you see" said Mikki.

"Sure, we can have a drink and if you want to continue things that can certainly be arranged" replied Brody.

"Okay that would be great. Do you know the Boathouse in Central Park? I'm going to be there with some friends a little earlier in the night, so that would be most convenient for me" said Mikki.

"The Boathouse will be fine" replied Brody.

"Okay, I will see you then. If you can't find me just ask for me at the host station, I may still be having dinner" said Mikki.

"I will do that" replied Brody.

"Look forward to meeting you properly" said Mikki.

"Yes you as well" replied Brody.

"Bye" said Mikki and ended the call and looked at Blaine and smiled.

"Brody will be meeting Anne tonight" she said, with a smile.

Blaine laughed. "And of course at eight o'clock we are still going to be there with Rachel when he gets there looking for Anne".

"That we will be" replied Mikki, with a nod.

"Okay then, well Anne I think, needs to be getting ready for her date with a gigolo" said Blaine.

Mikki laughed and the two of them continued onto their apartment, before going out to dinner later that night.

Saturday afternoon, Dave Karofsky who had been on a run, headed into the coffee shop and went over to the counter where Kurt was busily working away as usual.

"Hi Kurt" said Dave, as he sat down on one of the stools located at the counter.

Kurt looked at him and smiled. "Dave, hi. Just a give me a minute and I will be right with you".

"Sure, okay" replied Dave, with a nod.

Kurt finished making the order he was in the process of doing for another customer and handed it to them and then went over to Dave.

"Well this is a lovely surprise to see you here on the weekend" said Kurt.

Dave smiled, seeing that the barista had started to open up more and more to him over the times he had come into the coffee shop.

"Yeah I just can't resist those caramel macchiatos that you make Kurt. You've got me addicted to them" said Dave, with a laugh.

"Well I'm glad, because that means you will never go now to another coffee shop" replied Kurt, with a laugh of his own.

"That is very true" replied Dave, with a nod.

"So one regular caramel macchiato" said Kurt.

"Hmm, make it a large. I went for a run just then, so why not indulge a little" said Dave.

"Okay, one large caramel macchiato coming right up" said Kurt, as he walked over to the coffee machine and started on Dave's order.

"So busy day?" asked Dave.

Kurt looked over to him. "Steady one".

"Do you ever take time off?" asked Dave.

"Sure, I have other staff who fill on some weekdays for me after the morning rush. But I like being here, I like the people" said Kurt.

Dave nodded. "So I take it that you're probably going to Mikki and Blaine's wedding then?".

"I am, yes" replied Kurt.

"Yeah, me too" replied Dave.

"Oh, really. That was nice of them to invite you" said Kurt.

"Yeah, I was kind of shocked I must say when Mikki handed me an invitation. But she said she didn't want me to feel left out since all the others that work with will be there" replied Dave.

"Hmm that's Mik for you, definitely a sweet one" said Kurt, with a laugh one as he steamed and frothed the milk.

"So are you going with anyone?" asked Dave.

Kurt looked at him, and laughed. "Nope, I am sadly single, and hence it will be just me"

"Yeah, same here" said Dave, with a nod.

Kurt poured the milk into the cup for Dave, and then added a generous amount of caramel to finish it off, and then walked over to him.

"Here you go, one caramel macchiato done the Kurt Hummel way with extra caramel" he said, as he handed Dave the cup.

"Thanks" replied Dave, as he added grabbed a lid from the counter and placed it on the cup.

"Not a problem" replied Kurt, with a smile, and went to head back to the coffee machine, so that he could do a quick restock.

"Yeah, umm did you maybe want to go to the wedding together?" asked Dave, looking at Kurt.

Kurt turned and looked at him. "Together?"

"Yeah, it's just that we both don't have dates. And it would give us someone to talk to if don't find anyone else there appealing" said Dave, with a laugh.

"Yeah, that be nice I think. I'd like that" replied Kurt.

"Really, wow. Okay" said Dave, with a laugh of relief.

"So we can organize times and all that closer to the date" said Kurt.

"Umm, yeah of course, sure" replied Dave, now slightly flustered that Kurt had in fact actually agreed to going with him.

"Uh huh, you know where to find me" said Kurt.

"I do. I'll see you later Kurt, thanks for the drink" said Dave and stood up from the stool and went to see.

"See you Dave" replied Kurt, with a smile of his own.

Dave went to leave and then turned back around with a laugh. "I almost forgot to pay you".

"On the house" replied Kurt, as Dave went over to him.

"I can't ask that you do that Kurt" said Dave.

"I do it each morning for you of a weekday, and Mikki all the time. Don't worry about it, take it, it's on me" replied Kurt.

"Thanks Kurt, I'll see you later" said Dave, with a smile.

"Bye Dave, later" replied Kurt.

Dave left the coffee shop with a smile, and Kurt also got back to his own work, he too with a smile of his own.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

That evening, Mikki and Blaine along with Rachel were sitting in the Boathouse restaurant, from where the food that they were currently sampling more than likely was to become part of their wedding menu.

"So you didn't mind that desert then" said Blaine, as the waitress cleared their dessert plates, the final course that they had gotten for the night.

"No not at all, I think if you do have any vegans they will like that choice" said Rachel.

"Okay, great" replied Blaine, looking over to Mikki who kept looking at her watch, as the time approached eight o'clock.

"Everything okay sweetie?" asked Blaine.

"Umm yeah, I was just looking at the time because I have some things on an eBay snipe, and kind of hope that I get them" said Mikki.

Blaine laughed. "Do I even want to know what you're bidding on now?"

"Would you be mad if I told you they were games for the Playstation" said Mikki.

"For me or for you? Because I do believe that was my christmas gift but you have spent more time playing it then me" said Blaine.

Mikki laughed. "Well you have liked the games that I have gotten so far, so why are you complaining".

"True" replied Blaine, with a laugh, as he saw the hostess at the front of the restaurant point over to where Mikki was, since she had told her that someone else would be joining them later in the evening and they called her by her middle name Anne.

Brody walked over in the direction of the table, and since Rachel was the one with her back to him, he was unaware that she was there.

He looked rather surprised when he saw that Anne, was apparently Mikki and that Blaine was also there as well.

"There must be some sort of mix up, I'm sorry" said Brody.

Rachel turned hearing his voice and looked at him. "Brody" she said.

"Uh hi Rach, I have to go" he said, and went to walk away.

"Why Brody, after all Anne did call you here" said Mikki.

Brody stopped and looked at her, and Rachel looked at her also.

"Anne? Isn't that your middle name?" asked Rachel.

Mikki nodded. "It is"

Brody looked at her. "Did you call me?"

"I did actually, after I found out your dirty little secret about what you really are" replied Mikki.

"What he is, Mikki what are you talking about?" asked Rachel, looking at her best friend.

Brody looked at Rachel and then at Mikki, and it was obvious that he was not impressed in that moment since his actual job was becoming apparent.

"Either you can tell her or we will" said Blaine.

"And we will do so gladly at that" said Mikki.

"Brody, what are they talking about, what do you do?" asked Rachel.

"You got to understand firstly Rachel, that I only started because I was in debt with student loans and all that" said Brody.

"Oh my god are you a drug seller?" asked Rachel, quietly.

"No, no. I would never touch the stuff" replied Brody.

"What not even a Viagra every now and then, because what you do must be exhausting" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her and tried not to laugh, but couldn't help but burst out laughing anyway; and Rachel looked at her confused.

"I started accompanying women when they go out, and Mikki must have seen me somewhere and found this out" said Brody.

"Accompany women, how?" asked Rachel, it slowing dawning on her just what Brody was doing for a job.

"Well you know out to dinner, and sometimes other things might happen" said Brody.

Rachel looked at the guy that she thought was her boyfriend and faithful to her in horror.

"You're an escort?" she asked.

"I think I like gigolo better" said Blaine.

Brody glared at him and then looked at Rachel. "Gigolo, escort, they're such horrid words to describe it"

"Well what would you call it?" asked Rachel, still mortified about what she was finding out.

"Male companion" replied Brody.

Rachel glared at him. "Get out. Get out of here, I never ever want to see you ever again".

"Rach, baby. Come on, we can work this out" said Brody.

"Work what out. You're a male whore who sells yourself to women for money" said Brody.

"Rach, please. I care about you" said Brody.

Rachel looked at him and scoffed. "If you cared, you wouldn't be going around sleeping with other women"

"I'm sorry, Rachel really" replied Blaine.

"Just leave Brody, before I have the staff here remove you" said Blaine.

Brody glared at him and then looked to Mikki and then Rachel.

"Fine" he replied and walked away and then out of the restaurant.

Rachel turned back to the table and grabbed her serviette and dabbed at the corner of her eyes, where tears had started to flow.

"Rach, are you okay?" asked Blaine.

Rachel nodded. "Do you mind if we head on home?"

"No of course not, we're pretty much done here with the food" said Mikki.

"Yeah" replied Rachel, standing up and getting her coat from the back of the chair and putting it on.

"We're really sorry, you found out that way Rach, but there is really no easy way to tell someone that their boyfriend is selling their body for sex" said Mikki.

"I know, and you're right in thinking that I probably wouldn't have believed you if you told me that Brody was a male escort" said Rachel.

"I'll go pay the check" said Blaine.

Mikki looked at him and nodded. "Okay sure sweetie".

Blaine headed over to the hostess desk to pay for the meals, and Mikki put on her own coat, whilst Rachel grabbed her handbag.

"Come on let's get home" said Mikki, putting her arm around her best friend and the two of them headed over to Blaine and headed back to the apartment block.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Blaine, Mikki and Rachel got back to the apartment block and headed up the stairs to their floor.

"Did you want to come in, Rach?" asked Mikki.

Rachel looked at her friend and shook her head, her face now a little blotchy, since she had cried a little in the cab on the way home. "No, I think I just want to be alone".

"Is Sam home?" asked Blaine.

Rachel shook her head. "He's at work tonight"

"We don't mind if you come over Rach" said Mikki.

"Thanks all the same, but I really do want to be alone" replied Rachel.

"Sure, but you know where Blaine and I are if you want to talk or whatever" said Mikki.

"Thanks" replied Rachel, looking at them both with a smile.

"Come over any time, you want" said Blaine, lightly touching Rachel on the shoulder.

Rachel looked at him and nodded.

"And just so we're clear, you're not mad at me or Blaine are you?" asked Mikki.

"No of course not, I know you only did what you did, because if you were to tell me what Brody was actually doing, I probably wouldn't have believed you" said Rachel.

Mikki nodded. "Yeah, well I still hate that you had to find out like you did".

"Don't be. You're my best friend, and I could never hate you for looking out for me" said Rachel.

Mikki gave Rachel a quick hug. "You too, mine".

Rachel smiled.

"You know where we are" said Mikki.

"I do, thanks guys. I love you" said Rachel, going over to her apartment door and opening it.

"See you Rach" replied Blaine.

Mikki just looked at her friend and gave her a reassuring smile as she entered the apartment and closed the door behind her.

"Think she will be okay?" asked Blaine, as he opened the door to their apartment, and Mikki and he walked inside.

"Honestly, I don't know. Not something someone likes finding out that their boyfriend is a male whore" said Mikki, as she placed her bag down and took her coat off.

"Yeah" replied Blaine, as he took Mikki's coat from her and hung it up and then took his off, hanging that as well.

"You're not are you?" asked Mikki, with a laugh, as she went over to the phone in the apartment and grabbed it.

"What not?" asked Blaine.

"A gigolo, a male prostitute" said Mikki, with a smile.

"Oh yeah totally" replied Blaine, with a laugh and went over to her and kissed her.

"Hmm, don't believe you" replied Mikki, with a laugh, as she went through the contacts on the phone and then connected a call.

"Who you ringing?" asked Blaine.

"Puck, just thought he would want to hear what a jerk Brody turned out to be" said Mikki.

"Is that such a good idea?" asked Blaine, as the call connected, and Mikki just nodded her head in his direction.

"Hey cous, what's up?" asked Puck, obviously having seen the caller id to see who was calling.

"Umm, needed to talk with you about something kind of important" said Mikki.

"What can't you and Blainers decide on a meal for the wedding or something, and you want a deciding vote?" asked Puck.

Mikki laughed. "No, nothing like that. We have that sorted out, went out with Rachel tonight do to that".

"Because of vegan dishes" said Puck.

"Exactly" replied Mikki.

"Okay then what you need me for then?" asked Puck.

"I just thought you might like to know that it's over between Rachel and Brody" said Mikki.

"Over" replied Puck.

"Yeah, umm it turns out Brody lied to Rachel about what he really did for a job and well I kind of found out today and got Brody to come along to the restaurant under a false pretence" said Mikki.

"Okay, what does he really do?" asked Puck.

"He engages women for money" replied Mikki.

"He what?" asked Puck, slightly louder than his normal voice.

"Yeah, he's a gigolo" said Mikki.

"I swear if I ever get my hands on him, he won't have a dick anymore" said Puck.

"I don't think that's going to be necessary, Rach pretty much told him never to call her again, so you're likely to never see him" said Mikki.

"Still though, if I do. He better run" said Puck.

Mikki laughed.

"Is Rach, she okay?" asked Puck.

"Doing as good as expected" replied Mikki.

"She with you and Blainers now?" asked Puck.

"No, she's in her apartment, she wanted to be alone, and I understand that she just wants some time to herself" said Mikki.

"Yeah, yeah of course" replied Puck.

"Okay, well. I should let you go. I just thought you should hear it from me and what happened, since I am the one who essentially found this out" said Mikki.

"Thanks Mik, appreciate it" said Puck.

"Talk tomorrow" said Mikki.

"Sure cous, later" replied Puck.

"Bye" said Mikki, and ended the phone call.

"Guess Puck didn't take it too well what Brody really does" said Blaine as Mikki put the phone back in the charger.

"He wants to cut of Brody's dick, and I can understand that" said Mikki, with a laugh.

"Not the only one" replied Blaine, with a laugh; before the two of them sat down on the sofa and watched a movie before they headed to bed.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Puck walked up the stairs of the apartment block where Mikki, Blaine, Rachel and Sam lived; and went over to the door of Rachel's apartment.

He knocked quietly on the door, just in case Rachel was asleep, even though it had only been about fifteen minutes since he had received the call from Mikki about what had happened.

Knowing that Rachel was potentially upset at the moment, made him want to come over and see her, if not to talk but to just be there for her, because he knew how devastating it could be to find out something about someone you thought you knew, was not the truth.

There was no answer, and Puck knocked again, just slightly louder than before.

"It's open" came Rachel's voice from inside.

Puck opened the door of the apartment and walked inside, and saw Rachel sitting on the sofa, glass of wine in her hand, and half empty bottle on the table.

"Hey" said Puck, as he closed the door.

"Hi" replied Rachel, as Puck walked over to the sofa.

"Mik called me, told me what happened tonight" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him and nodded.

"You okay?" asked Puck.

Rachel didn't say anything, instead she just burst into tears.

"Hey, hey, come here, come here" said Puck, sitting on the sofa with her and taking the glass of wine from her and placing it on the table nearby, before pulling Rachel into a hug.

"Why does this always happen to me" said Rachel, as she cried.

"Hey, don't think like that. You're a wonderful person" said Puck, as he rubbed circles on her back, knowing that it was one of things that calmed her when she was upset.

"I can't be, there must be something about me, if guys keep on insisting on cheating on me" said Rachel, pulling away from Puck's hug and wiping at her face.

"Well they're idiots for doing that" said Puck.

"You cheated on me" said Rachel.

"And I'm a stupid idiot" replied Puck.

Rachel looked at him and laughed. "Yeah you are, but you're still one of my best friends"

"And I always plan to be" said Puck.

"Thank you" replied Rachel.

"Honestly though Rach, those other guys they don't know what idiots they really are. Because I hate myself every day for what I did to you, and I really wish that I could change what happened" said Puck.

"Me too, it was such a silly thing to fight over. I lost my cool, and if I haven't already said it, I am truly sorry for everything I said that night" said Rachel.

"You don't have to say it at all Rach, I think we're both sorry on both our parts" said Puck.

Rachel nodded and leant towards Puck and kissed him on the lips.

Puck for a moment returned the kiss, but then pulled away. "Rach, we shouldn't"

Rachel looked at him. "Sorry, I just wanted to remember. I know you're dating that girl Lauren now".

"We're not dating, we're just friends actually" replied Puck.

"Oh, I thought since you were maybe saying about asking her to Mikki and Blaine's wedding" said Rachel.

"No, really don't see the need to have someone with me at a wedding who is just a plus one for the sake of it" replied Puck.

Rachel nodded, some more tears falling from her eyes. "Still sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you. I just don't know what I'm feeling at the moment"

"Hey, enough of that. Don't cry over that jerk, he's not worth the tears" replied Puck, as he wiped away the tears as they fell down her face.

"Okay" replied Rachel, with a small laugh.

"Good, because you are beautiful Rachel Berry, inside and out and don't you let anyone tell you otherwise" said Puck.

"Thank you Noah, for coming over here. You didn't have to come here and see me a blotchy horrible snotty mess" said Rachel.

"Even though you are crying, nothing can hide that you're beautiful Rach" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him and smiled.

Puck looked at her for a moment, also smiling and then lent in and kissed her.

Rachel although shocked by it first, returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck; and neither of them pulled away this time.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

The next morning, Puck awoke and smiled to himself, as he realised that last night was indeed not a dream, and he did in fact have a sleeping Rachel curled up against him; her head resting on his bare chest as she slept peacefully.
He gently tucked her cascading hair behind her visible ear and kissed her gently on the forehead.

Rachel let out a little sigh, as she felt the kiss and opened her eyes. She looked up and him and smiled, blinking a few times herself to make sure that it was also not a dream and in fact real.

"Morning princess" said Puck.

"Hmmm, morning yourself" replied Rachel.

"Sleep well?" asked Puck.

Rachel nodded. "I did. I always slept so well when you were in the bed with me"

"Yeah same here" replied Puck.

"About last night, and what we ended up doing" said Rachel.

"Don't think anything of it, it was something we both wanted and needed" said Puck.

"So it was just that, us being there for one another?" asked Rachel.

"If that's what you want it to be, then that's what it will be Rae. I'm not going to rush you into anything you don't want" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him and smiled. "I just don't want what happened to ruin things between us".

"It won't okay. Think of it as a friends, helping out friends" replied Puck, with a smile.

"Well as your friend, I thank you. It was nice to be with someone who was so in tune with me and my body. I haven't felt that good in ages" replied Rachel.

"We are pretty good together aren't we" said Puck.

Rachel nodded. "Thank you though for understanding that, I just don't want to commit to anything at the moment".

"I do, and honestly I am in the same boat. After my disaster of a relationship with Marley, the last thing I want to do is jump into another one at a fast pace" said Puck.

"If something is meant to happen with someone it will" said Rachel.

"Exactly" replied Puck.

Rachel smiled and moved up to Puck a little more and kissed him.

"You truly are a wonderful guy Noah Puckerman, and one day some girl is going to be very lucky to have you" said Rachel.

"Yeah, I should probably get going" said Puck.

Rachel nodded, moving away from him and wrapping the top sheet around herself. "Sure, of course"

Puck grabbed his boxer shorts that were near the side of the bed and quickly slipped those on and stood up, then put his other clothes on from last night back on as Rachel watched him with a small smile.

"I'll see you Rach" said Puck, quickly kissing her on the top of the head, before he went over to the door and went to open it.

"Wait" said Rachel, quickly.

"What?" asked Puck, turning back and looking at her.

"Sam might be out there, and I don't want to be answering any questions about last night. I just want it to stay between us" said Rachel, standing from the bed and making sure that the sheet was wrapped around her body and that she wouldn't trip on it.

"Umm what if he is?" asked Puck.

"I'll go and ask him to get something from Mikki and Blaine's" said Rachel, as she went over to the door.

Puck smiled and nodded as he stood behind the door and Rachel opened it. She walked out in the living area of the apartment, and saw that Sam was nowhere to be seen, and that his bedroom door was closed.

"Coast is clear" said Rachel, in a whisper towards the direction of her room.

Puck quietly walked out as to not make too much noise and looked at Rachel.

"Okay, now I will say see you later" said Puck, quietly.

"See you later" replied Rachel, quietly also.

Puck quickly kissed her on the lips, both of them letting their lips linger for a moment, enjoying the connection.

"Bye Rach" said Puck.

"Bye Noah" replied Rachel.

Puck quietly walked over to the apartment door and opened it, he turned and gave Rachel one last smile before he left, closing the door behind himself.

Rachel then headed back to her room, closing the door of that behind herself, and got rid of the used condoms from her night spent with Puck, before she headed to the bathroom to have a shower and get ready for a new day.

That evening, the six of them were around at Mikki and Blaine's apartment. Sam and Brittany had now found out what had happened and what Brody's actual profession was; and like the rest of them were as equally as disgusted.

However what none of them knew, was what had happened between Rachel and Puck that very same night also. And that was something the two involved were going to keep to themselves.

"You know I didn't actually think anything of it, but Brody did hit on me once" said Brittany, as they sat around talking after they had eaten.

"He hit on you, how?" asked Rachel.

"Well it was more the way he said what he said, but he said if I was ever looking for something fun to do any time, I should give him a call" replied Brittany.

"Eww, the sleaze" said Sam.

Brittany looked at him and nodded. "Yeah, pretty sure he would have tried something with me if I actually had said sure".

"Honestly Rach, you are so much better without him in your life" said Blaine.

Rachel nodded. "Oh I know, and for right now I am done with men"

"You're not going to be dating for a while?" asked Mikki.

"That's exactly what I mean. I just want to be single, and concentrate on me. I have good friends, I have My Fair Lady coming up. And that I think for the time that is more than enough" replied Rachel.

"Well if you ever need someone to act as a boyfriend for any jerks, I'm here for you, after all what are roommates for, if not to be a faux boyfriend ever now and then" said Sam, with a laugh.

Puck glared at him, however he did not notice this as Rachel laughed.

"Thank you Sam, I will keep that in mind" replied Rachel.

"And I agree with you Rachel, we don't need anyone else in our lives, when we have one another as friends" said Brittany, with a smile.

"That is certainly true" replied Rachel with a laugh, and the six of them continued to talk, thankful for the company of good friends.


End Note:
So no more Brody - and congratulations to those who guessed what the storyline involving him was!
As for Terri being the one we saw him with! Well I needed someone we were familiar with and she seemed like the perfect character for that role!

But what does this all mean for Puck and Rachel - who have clearly spent the night with one
another, after the whole Brody debacle?!
Does it mean Puckleberry is back on?! And are there any ramifications of that night together?! (And yes, they totally did it more than once, as evident by 'condoms'. However I do not write smut, so don't ask for a detailed scene of the happenings!)

Guess you'll have to wait until the next chapter to find that one out!


Have a great festive season and I will see you all soon, with a lovely new drama filled
chapter!

Until then,
love KJ xoxoxoxo
