A/N: Hello! Sorry that it has taken me awhile to update Samchel. I've been so busy plus began writing a new Smytheberry story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Rachel Berry has never felt happier or more complete than right now, as she is wrapped into Sam's strong arms. Seriously if she hadn't witnessed "White Chocolate" in action as a stripper and seen his rock hard abs she wouldn't believe how muscular he was.
Rachel never thought she would ever find love again. Especially after losing Finn, the love of her life. She hadn't always thought you never got another chance at love. Especially with the very guy who once turned her down to Prom because she wasn't "his type". She was lost in her thoughts, when she felt Sam's arms tightening around her.
Sam knew he should feel lucky as hell to have the love of Rachel Berry. This was Finn's girl. Jesse's girl. Puck's Hot Jewish American Princess. Brody's obsession. Blaine's "Maria". And now? Now she was Sam's everything. His endgame? Possibly, if the universe allowed them. He would never be able to replace Finn. He knew that. He would just like to think that there was room in her heart. That in moments like these, that it was HIM and not a ghost that was on her mind. He still felt like he was competing with the past.
Sam sighed. "What is Rae?"
Rachel sighed back. "Nothing, Sam."
"Sweetie, I know you. You're still thinking of Finn. Which I get, but honestly is there room for me too?" he questioned.
Rachel turned to face him, and gently cupped his cheek. "You're the one who matters most. Finn will always have my heart. But, you are the one I'm in love with."
Rachel gently kissed him before falling asleep in his arms. Sam caressed her back. She had never been more beautiful.
"Don't Close Your Eyes"
[Sam]
I know you loved him
A long time ago
Even now in my arms
You still want him I know
But darling this time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool
Holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
Knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day
That you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
As Rachel laid in his arms, he gently kissed her than falling asleep with his love.
"I love you Rachel, more than you will ever realize," he vowed.
Little did Sam know she was listening. "I love you too, Sam..."
