The days had turned into weeks and pretty sure Christmas vacation was right around the corner. The trophy case at McKinley High sported several new trophies to keep those decade old ones some company. Alejandro had lead the Knights to their first ever state championship title game where he along with Finn, Puck, Mike and Matt once again found themselves breaking records on route to a 37-14 against a more than game Central Cincinnati wildcats who almost knocked out Alejandro from the game. Now that football season was officially over the boys had switched their attention to basketball with once again Alejandro became a standout at his point guard position. With Finn, Puck, Matt, Sam and Mike coming off the bench the McKinley High Knights once again found themselves with an undefeated record of twelve and zero. Currently the young athletes were sitting in the choir room each at a various state of boredom while the girls and Kurt talked about their upcoming trip.

"We're going, going back, back to Chi-town, Chi-town" Harmony sang Santana and Sugar smiled at the young girls enthusiasm while Rachel sat off to the side nestled into Brittany who was currently running her fingers thru brown locks of hair.

"Damn man this has been a hell of a year so far. State champs in Football and Cheerleading not to mention the swim team with those two dolphins over there." Artie commented pointing at Sugar and Harmony who had taken to spin around while singing as loud as they could. "Where's Mr. Shue? Shouldn't he have been here ten minutes ago?"

"I don't know." Answered Dro from his spot on-top of the rafters with Tina who was laying her head on his chest. "But if he doesn't show up in the next two minutes I'm heading out. I've got some sleep to catch up on." Finn and Puck nodded in agreement. Another couple of seconds passed in silence before Quinn spoke up.

"Shouldn't we be you know singing something?" She turned her attention to the petite diva that was still wrapped around her cousins arms. "I'm surprised you haven't belted any Barbra by now."

"To comfy to sing." Rachel mumbled before burying her face in the crook of Brittany's neck. "You smell good."

"Well lucky for me that I showered." The blonde teased earning a smack for her troubles. Alejandro and Tina had gathered their things and were already at the door when it suddenly opened and a flushed looking William Shuester. His hair was all over the place and it appeared that he had somebody's lipstick on his lips. He stared at his two students who were looking at him with a raised eyebrow and amused expressions.

"Hi. Kids." He squeaked out clearing his throat and moving further into the room looking up to see the rest of the club staring back at him. "Sorry I'm late. I uh… I got held up by someone-thing . I was held up."

"You alright there Mr. Shue?" Finn asked as he took a seat. "You're all red and sweaty and…. Is that a hickey?" that last statement got everyone's attention and in an instant half the girls and Kurt we're circling around the Spanish teacher who just nervously chuckled. "Damn Mr. Shue didn't know you'd be getting your freak on." The crowd laughed while Will just played it off getting the group to get back on their seats. Once he had everyone's attention he looked back down at his notes.

"Alejandro, Tina where are you two headed?" he asked the two teens who we're already halfway out the door. "Practice is about to start"

"Practice started forty five minutes ago." Dro pointed out. "I've got things to do Mr. Shue but I'll catch you guys later." Once the couple was gone Will took a deep breath and turned to look at the rest of the group who we're at various stages of getting ready to head out. "Where are you guys going Practice isn't over!" he did his best at intimidation but just like Sue had told him so many times before 'You just end up looking like a kicked wet puppy and that's just sad.' Shaking that vivid memory away he quickly went up to say something to else only to notice that he was the only one in the room. "I guess practice is canceled." He looked around just to make sure he was the only one there before pulling out his cell phone. Once he found the number he was looking for he clicked on the picture and waited for the line to be picked up."

"Hello?"

"So the kids just walked out on me." The melodic laugh caused him to roll his eyes but smile none the less. "You done?" another round of laughter was his answer. "I'm glad you find this funny Shelby." On the other line and across town Shelby Corcoran who was currently getting a couple of tomatoes and Jalapeno peppers out of her fridge.

"It's a bit funny." She said in between giggles. "I told you that you were going to be late." She hummed. "But you weren't complaining now where you?" the last part was said sultry and she couldn't help but smirk at the gulp she received as an answer. "Want to hang out later?"

"I wouldn't mind." Will replied. "Oh wait aren't Emma and Your brother going mini golfing today?"

"Yeah…. Why? Want to go annoy them?" the mischievousness wasn't lost on Will who chuckled at the idea of messing with his best friend and his girlfriend's brother. 'She's not my girlfriend.' Will quickly reminded himself. "Hello?"

"Hey? Sorry I spaced out." He nervously chuckled.

"Is that a nice way of saying I bore you?"

"What? No. no it's not that I promise."

"Relax huerito consetido." Shelby purred once her laughter had gotten under control she loved to rile him up it was so easy and at times she could honestly say that she did it on purpose. "So should I call Emma and schedule a double date?"

"I mean if you'd rather do something just the two of us I wouldn't be opposed." He chuckled rubbing the back of his neck. Man he'd gotten super rusty at flirting with women how'd he get Shelby's attention he'd never know nor question since she was interested.

"Trying to get me all alone I see." Was the response he got and he couldn't help the shiver that traveled up his spine at the sound of Shelby's sultry voice. "Perhaps another time for the one and one I just got a text from Emma inviting us to go with them later."

"When did you text Emma?"

"Oh I'm a multi-tasking machine. So what do you say? Pick me up at seven thirty?"

"Seven Thirty it is."

"Great I'll wear something special and who know maybe you'll get more than a hole in one tonight." Not waiting to hear a response Shelby hung up grabbing her phone and holding close to her chest a grin etched across her face and a blush coloring her cheeks. She felt like such a teenager and to be honest she liked it.

"What's with the creepy smile?" Eric raised his hands in surrender once he saw the murderous stare his older sister was sending him and slowly walked out of the kitchen. Once he was gone Shelby looked back to her phone and saw she had a message. Opening it up she couldn't help but snort at the simple text inside.

YOU ARE EVIL – Will

"Oh huerito you have no idea." She mumbled before returning to her task of making dinner for her family. Back at McKinley Will had just closed up the choir room when he saw Emma walking up to him with a face splitting smile and he already knew who was the cause of that.

"I take it you spoke to Eric?" Ignoring the dreamy expression and even dreamier sigh that escaped Emma Pillsbury, they began to make their way towards the exit waiving at several faculty members and janitors they'd run into at one point they bumped into Principal Figgins who simply said hello and have a wonderful weekend before practically running out the building. The two long-time friends talked about various subjects as they made their way towards their respected vehicle's once they were there Emma turned to Will and asked him.

"So when are you finally going to ask Shelby to be your girlfriend? You two have been seeing and texting each other for a couple of months now. Why haven't you made a move?" it's true; Shelby and him had been texting at first something that didn't even start till a week after their little club incident four months ago and it was Shelby who had taken the initiative.

FLASHBACK

Will was sitting at his desk watching as his Spanish 102 class finished up their latest pop quiz when he felt his phone vibrate. Choosing to ignore it he went began to look over last night's previous homework when he felt it vibrate again. Sighing in defeat since he figured it was probably Emma wondering if they we're still on for their usual Tuesday night Doctor Who marathon. Giving the class one final glance he quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He raised an eyebrow when he saw who had texted him.

So you forgot about me – Shelby C.

Looking at the class and seeing that everyone was still occupied Will opened his phone to respond.

I could never forget about you, -Will

Then why haven't I gotten a text let alone a call from you? – Shelby C.

How much of a wimp would I sound like if I told you that I was going to call on several occasions but I chickened out at the last second. – Will

And why exactly would you chicken out? I don't bite…. Well not unless asked. – Shelby C.

He did his best to muffle the laugh that escaped his lips as he shook his head this woman was something else.

Well that's good to know. To be honest I don't know I guess if I had to place it. I'd say it's because…. Well because you are so beautiful and funny and I have no doubt that you are all kinds of smart and to be honest I'm just funny and smart. – Will

Well lucky for you that I'm looking for someone to make me laugh. Got any plans for tonight? – Shelby C.

Not that I can think of. – Will

Great want to meet up for some coffee? – Shelby C.

I'd love to. – Will

Great I'll text you my address in a few and figure out something from there. – Shelby C.

Sounds good. I'll be looking forward to your text. – Will

Adios Huerito bonito. – Shelby C..

Adios Mujer Hermosa. – Will

He didn't know where the sudden courage had come from and for a split second he had regretted sending out that last text but when another text came in his fears where quickly forgotten.

Keep talking like that and I'll want more than coffee. – Shelby C.

Giving his phone a final glance Will put it back inside his pocket before turning his attention back towards the class he smiled politely at Santana when she went up to his desk and handed over her test.

"Gracias Santana." A mumbled grunt was his response but he couldn't find it in himself to care. Grabbing the offered piece of paper from the half Latina he gently placed the test on top of his desk. "Remember guys once you are done with the test you are welcome to work on other homework or talk to your neighbor but please make sure that your neighbor is already finished with the quiz and no cheating I'm looking at you Mr. Puckerman."

"Oh come on Mr. Shue that was a one -time thing."

"One time is to many Noah." Ignoring his students protest Will kept his attention on the class even though he was dying of anticipation for another text from Shelby Corcoran.

End of Flashback

"Still don't know what you're waiting for Shelby's totally into you. Lord only knows why." Emma chose to ignore the finger William was currently showing her. "Seriously Will man up and claim what's yours."

"You mean like you did with Eric and almost got not only kicked out of Denny's but also got both of you arrested?" Emma did her best to quell the blush that had threatened to overtake her entire body at the memory of her and Eric being questioned by several security officers for their very public display of affection in the middle of the local grocery store. Luckily Eric had been able to get things straightened out and they we're let go with a warning to keep it PG or keep it at home.

"Shut up. At least it worked." She countered. "We've been together for three months next week."

"And I'm very happy for the both of you Emm's but Shelby and I are comfortable with the pace that we are going at." Emma let out a snort but got into her car and started it up. "What was that?"

"What was what?"

"That little snort you just did there? What was that all about?"

"Nothing I just had to clear my throat. Well Eric and I will meet you and Shelby at the mini golf course at around eight fifteen so don't be late Mr. I have to properly condition my hair."

"That was once during college how long are you going to hang that over me?"

"How long do you plan on living?" Emma countered back. "Bye William. I'll see you later."

"Yeah, yeah get out of here already." Laughing as she pulled out of her parking spot Emma gave the very irritated looking Will a final wave and kiss before turning left and driving away from the school.

"Why am I friends with her again?"

Hey Here's another one. Let me know what you think. Please and Thank You. 88
