My Man

Chapter 7: blast from the past

The next day, Rachel woke up and stared up at the ceiling reviewing the last few days that had been one heck of a rollercoaster. She'd met Finn Hudson who she had fallen for scarily quick, had some nasty run ins with Jesse st James and nearly lost Beth. It was strange waking up alone as the past few nights had been spent with Finn, but she got up and intended to make the most of the day.

Feeling refreshed, she decided to put on a pair of black leather shorts with a strappy red bralette with white sneakers, wavy hair, simple makeup and some matching sunglasses. She felt satisfied with her appearance and was pleasantly surprised to see Santana already up and unpacking groceries.

"Morning" Rachel smiled. "You look great today San" she remarked, her best friend was wearing a white matching short skirt and cami set with sandals.

"Damn rach, looking fine" Santana replied as Rachel grabbed a glass of orange juice out of the fridge.

"You want to do something today?" Rachel asksed, it had been a while since the two of them did something fun. And yes, Rachel remembered their shopping trip and didn't count it in the 'fun' category for a reason.

"What do you suggest?"

"Well, it's the middle of summer so I wouldn't mind getting some ice cold cocktails in my system" Rachel smirked and Santana quickly agreed.

The two went to Shelby's and sat outside which had been decorated with small fountains and comfortable seating. They sat and talked with their drinks in hand as they both enjoyed each other's company and didn't realise how much they had missed small days out together like this.

"Rae?" They were interrupted by someone shouting and they whipped their heads around to see Sam smiling. Rachel smiled back, happy to see her friend whilst Santana rolled her eyes and took an extra long swig.

"What are you doing here?" Rachel asks when he finally walked over.

"Well, Quinn just wanted to spend the day with Beth so I figured instead of intruding I'd call on my bros and head to uncle will's bar where he gets me some freebies" he teased as he sat at the table much to Santana's dismay.

"Who else is coming?" Rachel asked, hoping that Finn would be joining them.

"Finns coming too so don't worry, and so is puck and one of Finns pals from work. I think his name is Charlie." Rachel nodded trying to hide her excitement whilst Santana obviously cheered up when hearing the news that puck was coming too.

One of the waiters came over having seen Sam arrive and Rachel cursed under her breath to see Brody Weston. She didn't see him when she entered so had hoped that it was his day off, but clearly she wasn't so lucky. Brody had worked here for a couple of years and seemed to make it his duty to hit on her and make her feel uncomfortable at every given chance.

Sam and Santana knowing the guy simply rolled their eyes and prepared themselves to get ready for whatever the douche bag was going to say.

"What can I get you?" He asks although his gaze is fixated on Rachel, more specifically her breasts.

Bagging a girl like Rachel Berry would do wonders for him, or so he would tell himself, a girl with beauty and money was everything he could possibly want so he wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"I'll just take a beer" Sam said dully.

"A Cosmo"

"Umm, I'll have a sex on the beach" Rachel answered rather quickly and praying that he would have no witty response.

"Well Rachel I can certainly have that arranged" he smirks, Santana flips him off and tells him to hurry up before she beats his ass, and being naturally scared of her, he does so.
