My Man

Chapter 41: a kiss can change everything

"Morning" Rachel smiled to see Sam sat on the couch drinking coffee. She was up and dressed in a gorgeous bikini outfit as she moved to the kitchen to pour herself an orange juice.

"Hey" he smiled softly as he saw her. "Where is everyone? I figured now that the suns back out after yesterday they'd all be up"

"I'm not sure either, I know that Finns still knocked out" Rachel smiled at the thought of Finn who she had left in bed sprawled out nakedly. "What's up?" She asked worriedly as the smile on his face faded and he stared into space, ever since they'd watched the movies the day before he had been zoning out a lot.

"Nothing" he replied unconvincingly.

"Sam" she stated knowingly as she raised an eyebrow and sat beside him. "I think you've forgotten that I know you better than I know yourself, somethings up so spill!"

"Rach..." he trailed, hoping she'd understand that this was something he didn't want to talk about.

"Sam" she retorted teasingly. "You're on vacation, you're not supposed to be depressed"

"Rachel, please just drop it" he pleaded.

"Why can't you tell me what's wrong?" She pouted and gave him the puppy dog eyes, knowing it would lead him to relent.

"Rach" he sighed when she continued to look adorable and attempt to convince him to tell her whatever it was that was troubling him.

"Fine!" He snapped causing her to smile triumphantly. He didn't say anything for a few seconds causing her to look at him questioningly.

He took a deep breath before leaning forward and grabbing her face before attaching his lips to hers, she was frozen still for a few seconds whilst her brain struggled to process what was actually happening. As soon as she did, she pulled away and looked at him confusedly with wide eyes.

"Sam I- what was that?" She managed to get out as she shuffled away from him.

He hid his face in his hands and rubbed it frustratedly. "Rach- I" he tried to talk before taking a deep breath. "I think- I think I'm still in love with you" he whispered.

"What?!" She hissed. "No you're not" she said adamantly, as if it would change his mind completely.

"Watching all those videos yesterday reminded me of what we had. We were in love Rachel and let's face it, I haven't been that happy since" he explained.

"That was puppy love!" She exclaimed. "Sam, I'm in love with Finn. What we had wasn't real love and I know you know that, you're the only one here who's single and I get that's tough. But declaring you have feelings for me is not fair, you know I have Finn and he's one of your best friends. You can't just kiss me and expect me to love you" she said tearily before running upstairs.

She ran straight to Santana's room where her and Puck were both in their swimwear about to head out, they both looked at her confusedly until they saw her tears.

"What's wrong?" Santana asked, standing up to stand next to her best friend. When she didn't say anything, Santana turned to Puck knowing what was stopping Rachel. "Out" she said sternly.

"Wait what?" He asked confusedly, "she's my sister and this is my room" he argued.

"I'm her best friend and we need girl talk, out!" Santana raised her voice. Puck muttered something inaudible under his breath before Santana shoved him out and locked the door, dragging Rachel to sit on the bed so she could explain.

"What's wrong?" Santana asked as she softly wiped her tears.

"Sam kissed me!" Rachel exclaimed as new tears fell and Santana gasped.
