My Man

Chapter 20: coming between us

The following weekend, the group decided to go out to officially celebrate Rachel getting the part in the production. Kurt had made a call to one of their favourite bars: 'callbacks' to reserve them a large booth for the night and they were all ready to party.

Rachel stood in front of the mirror wearing her outfit proudly, she wore her new black mini dress that showed off her long tanned legs along with the tall light pink Prada pumps, courtesy of Puck. "Looking good Rae" Sam smiled from behind her. "Hudson's going to have to keep his eye on all the other guys in there tonight because all their eyes are going to be on you" he complimented playfully and she blushed in return.

"Where's everyone else?" She asked putting on her earrings.

"Waiting for you" he mocked, "but you of all people know how impatient I am so I came to see how long you would be" he whined jokingly.

"Hey, this is my night and I have to look perfect" she stressed, playing with her hair in the mirror.

"Rach, you look fine now can we please go?"

"Fine? Just fine? Crap I need to change" she mumbled as she rushed around the room until Sam stopped her by her shoulders and turned her to face him.

"Hey calm down munchkin, you look beautiful" he told her sincerely. "Now can we go?"

She laughed at his abruptness but nodded nonetheless and the pair met the others in the living room. "If I wasn't gay and engaged to your brother I'd be all over you right now" Kurt joked playfully as he looked her up and down. She giggled before turning to Finn and hugging his waist, it had been two days since she had seen him as they were both busy with work so she was looking forward to having him all night.

"You look unreal baby" he whispered against her lips. As they were about to connect, the sound of an uncomfortable Puck clearing his throat stopped them.

"As much as I'd love to see my best friend and my little sister go at it in the living room, i think we should go now" he said sarcastically so they all left and headed to the bar.

...

They'd been at the bar for around 4 hours when Santana went to help Rachel bring the next round of drinks over. As they were walking back, Santana stopped abruptly and Rachel looked at her in concern. "What is she doing here?" Santana asked incredulously as she pointed to their table to see Charlie sitting in Rachel's seat.

Rachel threw her head back in exasperation and groaned, "I am going to kill Sam" she huffed. "We're celebrating my new part why the hell would he invite her?" She whined.

"Because he's stupid" Santana answered simply, the girls giggled before reluctantly heading to the table. Kurt looked at them with wide eyes as he mimed shooting himself in the head causing Rachel to laugh out loud and everyone looked at her questioningly.

"Oh hi Rachel" Charlie greeted with a huge fake smile plastered on her face.

"Charlie" she nodded, "you're in my seat" she noted.

"I didn't see your name on it" Charlie joked back, scooting closer to Finn knowing it would anger Rachel even more.

"Let's go and dance Rach!" Santana exclaimed, she wanted to see a Rachel vs Charlie smackdown more than anyone but she didn't want Rachel's night to be ruined. As they danced, the girls made sure to send evil eyes in Sam's direction at every given opportunity so he knew that he would be in for it later.

"Hey!" Santana squealed after a while to get Rachel's attention, when she looked her way she grabbed Rachel's hand to pull her closer and they began swaying to the music. "I think people think we're gay" she whispered playfully in her ear.
