When you tell the world that you are mine
[part 2/3]
Both Rachel and Sam had kind of been avoiding each other in school during the day, but when they ran into each other on the way to the Glee meeting there was nothing that they could do about it, the needed to talk and try not to be to awkward.
As the two of them walked into the choir room together there was a few surprised looks from the rest of the group, but no one really said anything. Rachel sat down where she normally sat in the front. Sam sat in the back with the rest of the jocks and cheerios. Rachel could hear how they were all talking.
“So you are still alive?” Someone asked, and Rachel didn’t feel like turn around and see who it was that had asked that, she hoped that Mr. Schuester would be here soon so that they all could start off with their rehearsals, they all needed it, maybe she and Sam didn’t need it as much as some of the other pairs but it was always good to use the time to their advantage.
“I am still alive.” Sam said, Rachel recognized his voice. “And it wasn’t that bad.”
“The first time that we were doing a duet together...” Rachel knew that it as Noah that was talking. “She was singing so much that it made my ears bleed.”
“It was nothing like that.” Sam said, he felt like had to defend himself and Rachel, it had kind of been a fun night and Leroy had been fun to hang out with. “It was kind of fun and Leroy is the best.”
“Leroy?” Finn asked, Sam shook his head, the taller boy, almost giant, had been dating Rachel earlier in the year and he didn’t know the name of one of the girl’s fathers
“Yeah, her dad.” Sam said and looked at Finn, he was supposed to be one of Sam’s friends but sometime he never understood why he was friends with Finn in the first place.
“You got to call him by his first name?” Puck asked, and that peaked Rachel’s interest, she was going to find out what they were talking about, even if she knew that eavesdropping was a bad idea.
“Yeah, he told me that it would be too confusing to call him Mr. Berry or sir.” Sam said with honesty. Rachel was a bit surprised about that even if she had heard all of the conversations that Sam and her dad had had yesterday.
“He won’t even let me in to the house anymore.” Puck said and looked at Sam.
“Wait who is Leroy, is he the bald one?” Finn asked, and looked at Sam, who just shook his head; Finn was kind of a moron. Rachel wanted to laugh, her dads didn’t look that much alike, and there was no way of confusing them.
“No.” Sam sighed and he looked down to where Rachel was sitting and he got her attention, and he shrugged his shoulders, letting her know that he had no idea on why Finn was acting this way.
“So you can all him by his first name. What about the other one?” Puck asked, he had to know what Sam called Berry’s dads.
“You mean Hiram.” Sam said as he continued to talk to his friends, and the Glee clubs members eyes bulge as he mentioned
Rachel other father’s name.
“Yeah, that one.” Puck said and moved closer to Sam.
“He was working so I don’t know what I am supposed to call him but what Leroy said…” Sam said and smiled as he looked at Rachel; it wasn’t that strange to be in the same room as the small diva, he had emphasized her father’s name. Rachel smiled as she locked her eyes with Sam. “…he said that I could call him Hiram.”
“I dated her but couldn’t call them that.” Finn said, and to Rachel it almost sounded like he was jealous of Sam or something.
“Maybe that is the reason that you couldn’t call them by their first name.” Sam said, but he had an idea on what it was that had made Leroy agree for Sam to call him by his first name but that wasn’t something that Sam would disclose to this group right now, maybe at the end of
the week if everything went like he wanted it too.
And Mr. Schuester came in to the choir room, late as always, and he looked a bit flushed. “So how is it going with the duets?” No one really answered him, when he asked and he looked at Rachel. “Rachel? Sam?”
“Mr. Schue, it is going great for me and Sam.” Rachel said as she stood up, she had something more that she wanted to say, and she looked at the rest of the Glee club members. “And I think that we need to use this time for all of us to rehears our duets so that they are great when the time come for preforming them.”
“Yes, Rachel you are right about that.” Mr. Schue said and looked at Rachel. “And you can take a seat.”
Rachel sat down on her seat, and she could hear someone saying something to Sam. “So how is that Broadway duet coming along?”
Rachel wanted to turn around and punch whoever it was that had said that in the face, but before she had a chance she heard Sam’s voice.
“We are not doing a Broadway number; we are doing an duet that we both agreed on.” Sam said.
“You got to choose between couples of songs that Berry wanted to do.”
“No, we decided on it together and actually it was one of the songs that I wanted to do.” Sam said, and he took a couple of steps down so that he was sitting next to Rachel, and he placed his hand on her thigh.
“Sorry.” He whispered as he leaned closer to her. “I should have been sitting her from the start, now I know the next time.”
Rachel smiled and took his hand and intertwined their fingers, it was the most natural thing that she could do.
“I have booked a couple of class rooms that you guys can use for the rehearsal of your songs so that no one else will know what
song that you will do until it is time for the competition.” Mr. Schuester said. “One group can be hear, another in the auditorium and we also have the astronomy room, I can also let one of you use my office.”
Sam looked at Rachel, to see what room that she wanted to use, before he raised his hand and tried to get Mr. Schue’s attention.
“Yes, Sam.”
“Rachel and I would like to use the auditorium if it’s okay.” Sam said, they were the first ones to ask about a place to sing but he knew what the reaction would be from some of the members of the group if they had demanded the auditorium.
“Ah, hello to the no…” Rachel closed her eyes, she knew that would happen, she could feel how Sam tensed as Mercedes had said that. “You can’t just think that you two could use that room, Beiber.”
“Hey.” Sam said he didn’t like where this was going, and he was going to stop this before it went any further, he was pretty sure that Mr. Schue wouldn’t do anything about it. “I didn’t hear anyone else ask about being there before I asked.”
“Don’t you think that it’s better if someone else also gets that chance to use the auditorium, you two don’t need to hog it all the time.” Mercedes continued on, and Sam was about to reply when Rachel got up and walked to Mr. Schuester and he could tell that she was asking their teacher something.
“Sam.” Rachel said as she was back at her seat and grabbed her bag that was under the chair. “We are leaving.” Sam stood up
and walked out the room with Rachel.
“So now she has him trained like a little lapdog, just like Quinn had, doesn’t he do anything by himself or think for himself.” Santana asked as she and the rest of the group saw Rachel and Sam leave the choir room.
“Those storm outs aren’t as effective as they used to be.” Artie noticed.
“So who wants to use the auditorium?” Mr. Schuester asked, “There will be two groups that will practice there and I think
that will work.”
“We will be there.” Mercedes said she was once again doing her duet with Santana; they were going to kick some ass this time.
“We can be there too.” Mike piped up; he didn’t really talk that much.
“Okay great, so Mercedes and Santana, and Mike and Tina will take the auditorium.” Mr. Schuester said, and he had planned this out from the start with the pairing for the duets, he knew how would do the best with each other and how wouldn’t do the assignment. He was after all a teacher and he did act like someone at some actuations and this was one of those. “The Finn and Quinn can take the astrology classroom, and the rest of you can stay in her to rehears.”
“Where is treasure trail and Beiber rehearsing?” Santana asked as she looked around the room, there was no chance in hell that Rachel would have agreed on rehearsing in Schuster’s office.
“I let them go home so that they could rehears there instead.”
“Then we want to leave too.” Puck said as he looked at Schuester.
“The only reason that I let them leave is because I know that they actually will rehears and not do anything else.” Will
said as he looked at the rest of his students.
////
Sam and Rachel were at the parking lot by his Jeep, and Rachel looked at him. “Sorry about that.”
“You have nothing to apologies for.” Sam said and walked up to her and he put his arms around her and held her close, he had no idea why he had done it but it looked like Rachel needed a hug and who was he not to give her one. “if anyone should be apologizing it’s the rest of the Glee club.”
“Thanks.” Rachel said as she placed her head on his shoulder. “I needed to hear that.”
“What are friends for if not helping each other out.”
“We’re friends?” Rachel asked surprised in a small voice she hadn’t really thought about it that way.
“Yeah, friends.” Sam said, and as he said it he felt a bit hurt, he didn’t know why. “And we don’t have to rehears if you don’t want to.”
“Haven’t you heard about how the show must go on.” Rachel said and she lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him, and she saw a smiled on Sam’s face.
“I just wanted you to smile.” Sam said and he opened the door to the Jeep and help Rachel in to the car. “And of course we will rehears, so your place or my place?”
“If it’s okay with you I would like to go home.” Rachel said and she looked down on her lap, and she could feel Sam’s hand on her thigh, squeezing it.
“You choose what how we do this.” Sam said and smiled at her, he wanted to make her happy and he didn’t know how to do it any other way.
“Then we will be rehearsing at my house.” Rachel said and Sam closed the door to the Jeep before he went and opened his own door and sat down in the driver’s seat. “And I think that my dad will be home.”
“Leroy will be there?” Sam asked and his face lit up, he liked the man and he could see Rachel’s smile be even bigger than before.
“No, my other dad will probably be home so you got to meet him too.” Rachel said and she reached for Sam’s hand, she felt safe when she had some physical connection with the football player.
“So I will get to meet Hiram.” Sam said and nodded. “That will be awesome.” Rachel couldn’t keep her smile of her face, the boy was kind of cute, and she had to admit that.
////
The two teenagers had reach the Berry house, and there was a car on the drive way and Rachel turned to Sam. “You will be meeting my dad.”
“Sweet.” Sam almost yelled and he jumped out of the car and hurried to the passenger’s side of the car and opened the door for Rachel and helped her down. Neither one of them had seen the man that stood and looked out the kitchen window and looked at them.
“It was very nice of you to help me.” Rachel said as they walked inside the house. “And I will just grab us something to eat, what would you like?”
“I don’t need anything.” Sam said, and he followed Rachel to the kitchen. “But I’ll keep you company.”
“Rachel.” Rachel looked up as she heard her name.
“Dad, I thought that you would be in the study.” Rachel said and walked to a bowl of fruit and took an apple and banana.
“why are you home early?” Hiram asked as he looked at Rachel. “I thought that you had Glee this afternoon.” He couldn’t really keep track on all of his daughter’s activities.
“I’m sorry about that; it’s kind of my fault.” Sam spoke up, Rachel just looked at him, she didn’t understand why he would take the blame for that.
“And you must be Sam.” Hiram said as he looked at the blonde boy.
“Yes, I am Sam, Mr. Berry.” Sam answered even it wasn’t a question. The man was still eyeing Sam, he had yet to decide if he liked the boy, Leroy had loved him, so that was a plus and his little princesses seemed to like the boy.
“And what did you mean by it’s your fault that you are here early?” Hiram asked, this was the question that would probably give him the best idea on if he was going to like this boy or not, and if he was going to be good enough for Rachel.
“We were going to rehears for or duet this Friday and there wasn’t enough places that we could use in school.” Sam said and he kept eye contact with the man, he remembered that Leroy had said to keep eye contact with Hiram when he spoke to him. “And I offered that Rachel and I could rehears here or at my house.”
“So why are you here?” Hiram asked, he liked that the boy was honest and didn’t look somewhere else when he was talking to him, it was a sign of respect.
“I asked Rachel where she wanted to rehears and she said that she wanted to be at her house.” Sam said and smiled, not a creepy one just to show that he understood what Rachel wanted.
“Good. You two can go and rehears now if you want.” Hiram said and turned to Rachel and gave her a hug and he whispered in her ear. “I like him, you should keep him.”
Sam hadn’t heard what Hiram had whispered but it was something that made Rachel blush and that made her even cuter if that was eve possible.
“So we are going to go.” Rachel said and grabbed Sam by his arm and dragged him down the stairs to the basement, he had no idea on why they went down there, and he had thought that they would be in her room.
Sam could hear Hiram call after them; well it was more towards Sam. “I like you and I trust you don’t do anything to change that.” Sam gulped he hadn’t thought about that possibility, the only reason that they liked him was because he wasn’t dating their daughter. He blinked a couple of times; he hadn’t really thought about that part, could he see himself dating Rachel. The answer to that was a hell yes, and he was a bit surprised at first but Rachel was cute and nice and she had really pretty eyes.
“So I listen some more to the song last night.” Rachel said as she grabbed the cd with the instrumental version of the song. “And I don’t want to sound like a diva or that I want all of the solos but I think that we might need to change some of it so that I sing a bit more.” Sam was about to say something but before he could Rachel was talking again. “But only if you agree with me, we will decide on it together it was after all you who came up with the song.”
“Rach, slow down.” Sam said as he took her by her shoulders and held her there. “I was going to agree with you, we both know that you have a much stronger voice than me.” Rachel blinked a few times; she wasn’t sure on what she was going to do say. “And there for we should use it to advantage and we will win this and then who knows.”
“You really think that?” She asked and Sam could hear that she was surprised by what he was saying.
“I know so.” Sam said and took the small singer into his arms for a hug, he loved to hug her and hold her and if he could he would do it for the rest of his life. He shook his head a couple of times, here he was again falling for a girl way to fast but Rachel was different from Quinn right?
“How do you always know what to say and on what time to say them?” Rachel asked as she looked Sam in the eyes and she bit her lower lip, she could see that it was something there, and he leaned closer to her, she could feel his breath on her lips this was it, he was going to kiss her for the first time. Rachel closed her eyes and she leaned closer to him and that was when they heard someone coming down the stairs.
“I heard that Sam was here.” A voice boomed and the two of them jumped a part and both of them spotted a flushed face, and in this moment Leroy Berry didn’t have his two greatest fans in the same room as him.
“Leroy.” Sam greeted as he saw the man. “I met Hiram earlier and he seemed to like me.”
“Oh, he likes you.” Leroy said and he looked over at Rachel and he saw her face. “And can say that he isn’t the only one.” Rachel just glared at her father, why did he have to come down stairs at this moment couldn’t he have waited a few minutes. “So what are you doing?”
“Daddy, we were going to rehears the song.” Rachel said and she was till glaring at him, hoping that he would understand.
“So when are we going to see this duet between the two of you?” He asked and looked from Rachel to Sam waiting for one of them to say something.
“It depends on if we win or not.” Sam said and looked at Leroy. “And if we win it will be during Nationals.”
“So I have to wait that long before I can see they two of you in a duet.” He almost sighed, “You will be so cute together.” Sam and Rachel looked at each other before they looked away from each other, it was something that Leroy saw and he lifted his hand and hid his smile, had seen this already yesterday that there was something there and that neither Rachel nor Sam had acknowledge that then but it seemed like they were heading there. “So I’ll leave you alone with this and you can come up stairs when you have rehearsed.”
And they could see Leroy going up the stairs and the heard some mumbling from him but they couldn’t really hear what it was that he was saying.
“So the song.” Rachel said and clasped her hands in front of her as she stood in front of Sam.
“The song, right.” Sam said nodding his head agreeing with Rachel. Just like yesterday Sam was the one that started of the song. “I’m blinded by your presence.” He looked over at Rachel and smiled. Before they continued on with the song together.
“in this moment that we’re in.” The looked at each other for a second before the turned away blushing a little, this was going to be hard rehearsing this together now but they had to power through it.
“If God was to describe you.” Sam sang as he looked at Rachel, and he really thought that the words that he was singing was true, he had no idea how to describe Rachel Berry in this moment.
“Where would he begin.” Rachel sang and she looked at Sam who was backing her up with tis line.
“Your colous blend together.” Sam sang and he knew that this was a line that when they were preforming they should be singing together, and not have Rachel backing him up.
“And you become the light.” They both sang, and Sam could see the light in Rachel’s eyes and he smiled. “If only you could see the way you shine.” Both of the sang, and Sam wished that Rachel would see her in the same way that he was seeing her at this moment, a truly beautiful girl, that knew what she wanted and wouldn’t let anyone get to her.“Darling, when you tell the world you’re...” Sam sang and took a step towards Rachel and placed his hands around her waist before he moved her closer to him as he breathed out the last word of that sentence. “…mine” And as he sang the last word he brushed his lips against hers he hadn’t planned on kissing her but she just looked so beautiful in that moment that he couldn’t stop himself from doing just that.
When they broke the kiss, Rachel moved her fingers over her lips, she could still feel the tingle from his kiss, and she smiled at him and all Sam could do in that moment was smile back at here.
“Why did you do that?” Rachel asked as Sam held her close to his body.
“Because I wanted.” Sam said and kissed the top of her head. “And mostly because I wanted to.” Rachel just smiled it him, she felt safe and Sam felt the same about her that she felt about him.
He put his hand under her chin like he had done before and this time she leaned down and kissed her, he couldn’t help himself, and he asked himself why he hadn’t kissed her earlier, when it felt so amazing.
“I think that we have rehears enough for tonight.” Sam said and he took Rachel’s hand and intertwined their fingers, as he walked them up the stairs.
“Oh.” Rachel said, she had hoped that they were going to rehears some more that was at least what she wanted.
“Rachel, if you look at the time you would understand why I said that.” Sam said as he saw that Rachel looked a bit sad. “And I would love to rehears some more.” He said and he a sparkle in his eyes.
“Oh.” Rachel said and lifted her free hand to her lips as she realized what Sam meant.
“But before I leave there is something that I need to talk to your fathers about.” Sam said as the two of the stood in the hallway.
“I’ll come with.” Rachel said and she couldn’t remove the smile from her lips.
“No!” Sam yelled, that was not the plan, and he saw Rachel’s face fall. “I mean, that is not necessary, I can talk to them myself.” He said as he looked at Rachel. “It won’t take long, if you want you can wait here and then you can walk me to my car and then I have to walk you back to the door.”
Rachel looked at him and smiled, and she nodded and Sam almost ran to the livingroom where he had seen Rachel’s fathers sitting. She could see the three of them but she couldn’t hear what they were talking about, and after a minute both of her fathers were smiling and they were shaking Sam’s hand and she had no idea on what it was that he said but she guessed that she was going to find out.
She walked Sam to his car, and he looked at her and smiled, he waited for Rachel to ask him what they had talked about but he was not going to tell her just yet, there was still something that he needed to fix.
“So what did you want to talk to my fathers about?” Rachel said and she bit her lower lip and realized it before she wet her lips with her tongue. Sam had to close his eyes and he fisted his hands together, why did she have to do that.
“I can’t tell you just yet.” Sam said and leaned down and pecked her on the lips. “That would ruin the surprise.” Rachel just smiled as she leaned in to his body, the had just kissed for the first time earlier that night but it felt like they had been doing it for forever. “I still have to walk you to the door.”
“You don’t have to do that.” Rachel said as she let go of Sam.
“Yes I have to do that.” Sam said and he placed his arm around her waist and he walked them to the door. “And just so you know I will be here tomorrow morning and pick you up for school so you better be ready.” As Rachel was about to go inside the house, Sam took her hand and tugged her closer to himself. “I just need one more kiss, you know for the road.” And he placed his lips on hers and she could feel ho he tugged lightly on her lower lips nibbling on it. When they broke apart from the miss Rachel smiled. “Good night, and I will see you tomorrow.”
“Good night, Sam.” Rachel said and she walked inside and when she closed the door she couldn’t help but to squeal a little and she jumped up and down and if she had looked out the window she would have seen Sam doing some kind of dance moves as he walked to his car, almost whistling to himself.
“So are we going to have to have a talk with Sam?” Leroy asked as Rachel walked into the living room.
Rachel shook her head but she was looking down on her lap. “Well, not yet anyway.”
“So you think that we might have to talk to Sam?” Hiram asked and Rachel just nodded her head she knew that they meant by that and she was happy that they wanted what was best for her.

When you tell the world that you are mine
[part 2/3]
Both Rachel and Sam had kind of been avoiding each other in school during the day, but when they ran into each other on the way to the Glee meeting there was nothing that they could do about it, the needed to talk and try not to be to awkward.

“Yeah, friends.” Sam said, and as he said it he felt a bit hurt, he didn’t know why. “And we don’t have to rehears if you don’t want to.”
“Haven’t you heard about how the show must go on.” Rachel said and she lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him, and she saw a smiled on Sam’s face.
“I just wanted you to smile.” Sam said and he opened the door to the Jeep and help Rachel in to the car. “And of course we will rehears, so your place or my place?”
“If it’s okay with you I would like to go home.” Rachel said and she looked down on her lap, and she could feel Sam’s hand on her thigh, squeezing it.
“You choose what how we do this.” Sam said and smiled at her, he wanted to make her happy and he didn’t know how to do it any other way.
“Then we will be rehearsing at my house.” Rachel said and Sam closed the door to the Jeep before he went and opened his own door and sat down in the driver’s seat. “And I think that my dad will be home.”
“Leroy will be there?” Sam asked and his face lit up, he liked the man and he could see Rachel’s smile be even bigger than before.
“No, my other dad will probably be home so you got to meet him too.” Rachel said and she reached for Sam’s hand, she felt safe when she had some physical connection with the football player.
“So I will get to meet Hiram.” Sam said and nodded. “That will be awesome.” Rachel couldn’t keep her smile of her face, the boy was kind of cute, and she had to admit that.

The two teenagers had reach the Berry house, and there was a car on the drive way and Rachel turned to Sam. “You will be meeting my dad.”
“Sweet.” Sam almost yelled and he jumped out of the car and hurried to the passenger’s side of the car and opened the door for Rachel and helped her down. Neither one of them had seen the man that stood and looked out the kitchen window and looked at them.
“It was very nice of you to help me.” Rachel said as they walked inside the house. “And I will just grab us something to eat, what would you like?”
“I don’t need anything.” Sam said, and he followed Rachel to the kitchen. “But I’ll keep you company.”
“Rachel.” Rachel looked up as she heard her name.
“Dad, I thought that you would be in the study.” Rachel said and walked to a bowl of fruit and took an apple and banana.
“why are you home early?” Hiram asked as he looked at Rachel. “I thought that you had Glee this afternoon.” He couldn’t really keep track on all of his daughter’s activities.
“I’m sorry about that; it’s kind of my fault.” Sam spoke up, Rachel just looked at him, she didn’t understand why he would take the blame for that.
“And you must be Sam.” Hiram said as he looked at the blonde boy.
“Yes, I am Sam, Mr. Berry.” Sam answered even it wasn’t a question. The man was still eyeing Sam, he had yet to decide if he liked the boy, Leroy had loved him, so that was a plus and his little princesses seemed to like the boy.
“And what did you mean by it’s your fault that you are here early?” Hiram asked, this was the question that would probably give him the best idea on if he was going to like this boy or not, and if he was going to be good enough for Rachel.
“We were going to rehears for or duet this Friday and there wasn’t enough places that we could use in school.” Sam said and he kept eye contact with the man, he remembered that Leroy had said to keep eye contact with Hiram when he spoke to him. “And I offered that Rachel and I could rehears here or at my house.”
“So why are you here?” Hiram asked, he liked that the boy was honest and didn’t look somewhere else when he was talking to him, it was a sign of respect.
“I asked Rachel where she wanted to rehears and she said that she wanted to be at her house.” Sam said and smiled, not a creepy one just to show that he understood what Rachel wanted.
“Good. You two can go and rehears now if you want.” Hiram said and turned to Rachel and gave her a hug and he whispered in her ear. “I like him, you should keep him.”
Sam hadn’t heard what Hiram had whispered but it was something that made Rachel blush and that made her even cuter if that was eve possible.
“So we are going to go.” Rachel said and grabbed Sam by his arm and dragged him down the stairs to the basement, he had no idea on why they went down there, and he had thought that they would be in her room.
Sam could hear Hiram call after them; well it was more towards Sam. “I like you and I trust you don’t do anything to change that.” Sam gulped he hadn’t thought about that possibility, the only reason that they liked him was because he wasn’t dating their daughter. He blinked a couple of times; he hadn’t really thought about that part, could he see himself dating Rachel. The answer to that was a hell yes, and he was a bit surprised at first but Rachel was cute and nice and she had really pretty eyes.
“So I listen some more to the song last night.” Rachel said as she grabbed the cd with the instrumental version of the song. “And I don’t want to sound like a diva or that I want all of the solos but I think that we might need to change some of it so that I sing a bit more.” Sam was about to say something but before he could Rachel was talking again. “But only if you agree with me, we will decide on it together it was after all you who came up with the song.”
“Rach, slow down.” Sam said as he took her by her shoulders and held her there. “I was going to agree with you, we both know that you have a much stronger voice than me.” Rachel blinked a few times; she wasn’t sure on what she was going to do say. “And there for we should use it to advantage and we will win this and then who knows.”
“You really think that?” She asked and Sam could hear that she was surprised by what he was saying.
“I know so.” Sam said and took the small singer into his arms for a hug, he loved to hug her and hold her and if he could he would do it for the rest of his life. He shook his head a couple of times, here he was again falling for a girl way to fast but Rachel was different from Quinn right?
“How do you always know what to say and on what time to say them?” Rachel asked as she looked Sam in the eyes and she bit her lower lip, she could see that it was something there, and he leaned closer to her, she could feel his breath on her lips this was it, he was going to kiss her for the first time. Rachel closed her eyes and she leaned closer to him and that was when they heard someone coming down the stairs.
“I heard that Sam was here.” A voice boomed and the two of them jumped a part and both of them spotted a flushed face, and in this moment Leroy Berry didn’t have his two greatest fans in the same room as him.
“Leroy.” Sam greeted as he saw the man. “I met Hiram earlier and he seemed to like me.”
“Oh, he likes you.” Leroy said and he looked over at Rachel and he saw her face. “And can say that he isn’t the only one.” Rachel just glared at her father, why did he have to come down stairs at this moment couldn’t he have waited a few minutes. “So what are you doing?”
“Daddy, we were going to rehears the song.” Rachel said and she was till glaring at him, hoping that he would understand.
“So when are we going to see this duet between the two of you?” He asked and looked from Rachel to Sam waiting for one of them to say something.
“It depends on if we win or not.” Sam said and looked at Leroy. “And if we win it will be during Nationals.”
“So I have to wait that long before I can see they two of you in a duet.” He almost sighed, “You will be so cute together.” Sam and Rachel looked at each other before they looked away from each other, it was something that Leroy saw and he lifted his hand and hid his smile, had seen this already yesterday that there was something there and that neither Rachel nor Sam had acknowledge that then but it seemed like they were heading there. “So I’ll leave you alone with this and you can come up stairs when you have rehearsed.”
And they could see Leroy going up the stairs and the heard some mumbling from him but they couldn’t really hear what it was that he was saying.
“So the song.” Rachel said and clasped her hands in front of her as she stood in front of Sam.
“The song, right.” Sam said nodding his head agreeing with Rachel. Just like yesterday Sam was the one that started of the song. “I’m blinded by your presence.” He looked over at Rachel and smiled. Before they continued on with the song together.
“in this moment that we’re in.” The looked at each other for a second before the turned away blushing a little, this was going to be hard rehearsing this together now but they had to power through it.
“If God was to describe you.” Sam sang as he looked at Rachel, and he really thought that the words that he was singing was true, he had no idea how to describe Rachel Berry in this moment.
“Where would he begin.” Rachel sang and she looked at Sam who was backing her up with tis line.
“Your colous blend together.” Sam sang and he knew that this was a line that when they were preforming they should be singing together, and not have Rachel backing him up.
“And you become the light.” They both sang, and Sam could see the light in Rachel’s eyes and he smiled. “If only you could see the way you shine.” Both of the sang, and Sam wished that Rachel would see her in the same way that he was seeing her at this moment, a truly beautiful girl, that knew what she wanted and wouldn’t let anyone get to her.“Darling, when you tell the world you’re...” Sam sang and took a step towards Rachel and placed his hands around her waist before he moved her closer to him as he breathed out the last word of that sentence. “…mine” And as he sang the last word he brushed his lips against hers he hadn’t planned on kissing her but she just looked so beautiful in that moment that he couldn’t stop himself from doing just that.
When they broke the kiss, Rachel moved her fingers over her lips, she could still feel the tingle from his kiss, and she smiled at him and all Sam could do in that moment was smile back at here.
“Why did you do that?” Rachel asked as Sam held her close to his body.
“Because I wanted.” Sam said and kissed the top of her head. “And mostly because I wanted to.” Rachel just smiled it him, she felt safe and Sam felt the same about her that she felt about him.
He put his hand under her chin like he had done before and this time she leaned down and kissed her, he couldn’t help himself, and he asked himself why he hadn’t kissed her earlier, when it felt so amazing.
“I think that we have rehears enough for tonight.” Sam said and he took Rachel’s hand and intertwined their fingers, as he walked them up the stairs.
“Oh.” Rachel said, she had hoped that they were going to rehears some more that was at least what she wanted.
“Rachel, if you look at the time you would understand why I said that.” Sam said as he saw that Rachel looked a bit sad. “And I would love to rehears some more.” He said and he a sparkle in his eyes.
“Oh.” Rachel said and lifted her free hand to her lips as she realized what Sam meant.
“But before I leave there is something that I need to talk to your fathers about.” Sam said as the two of the stood in the hallway.
“I’ll come with.” Rachel said and she couldn’t remove the smile from her lips.
“No!” Sam yelled, that was not the plan, and he saw Rachel’s face fall. “I mean, that is not necessary, I can talk to them myself.” He said as he looked at Rachel. “It won’t take long, if you want you can wait here and then you can walk me to my car and then I have to walk you back to the door.”
Rachel looked at him and smiled, and she nodded and Sam almost ran to the livingroom where he had seen Rachel’s fathers sitting. She could see the three of them but she couldn’t hear what they were talking about, and after a minute both of her fathers were smiling and they were shaking Sam’s hand and she had no idea on what it was that he said but she guessed that she was going to find out.
She walked Sam to his car, and he looked at her and smiled, he waited for Rachel to ask him what they had talked about but he was not going to tell her just yet, there was still something that he needed to fix.
“So what did you want to talk to my fathers about?” Rachel said and she bit her lower lip and realized it before she wet her lips with her tongue. Sam had to close his eyes and he fisted his hands together, why did she have to do that.
“I can’t tell you just yet.” Sam said and leaned down and pecked her on the lips. “That would ruin the surprise.” Rachel just smiled as she leaned in to his body, the had just kissed for the first time earlier that night but it felt like they had been doing it for forever. “I still have to walk you to the door.”
“You don’t have to do that.” Rachel said as she let go of Sam.
“Yes I have to do that.” Sam said and he placed his arm around her waist and he walked them to the door. “And just so you know I will be here tomorrow morning and pick you up for school so you better be ready.” As Rachel was about to go inside the house, Sam took her hand and tugged her closer to himself. “I just need one more kiss, you know for the road.” And he placed his lips on hers and she could feel ho he tugged lightly on her lower lips nibbling on it. When they broke apart from the miss Rachel smiled. “Good night, and I will see you tomorrow.”
“Good night, Sam.” Rachel said and she walked inside and when she closed the door she couldn’t help but to squeal a little and she jumped up and down and if she had looked out the window she would have seen Sam doing some kind of dance moves as he walked to his car, almost whistling to himself.
“So are we going to have to have a talk with Sam?” Leroy asked as Rachel walked into the living room.
Rachel shook her head but she was looking down on her lap. “Well, not yet anyway.”
“So you think that we might have to talk to Sam?” Hiram asked and Rachel just nodded her head she knew that they meant by that and she was happy that they wanted what was best for her.
