The next day was a beautiful one. No clouds. Blue sky. It was a sight to see.
Rachel walked up to the main deck and quickly spotted Quinn eating with Sam.
Santana and Brittany were still sleeping.
"I need to talk to you." Rachel softly said.
"What's up?" Quinn asked.
Rachel felt guilty because she could see Quinn was having a great day already and she didn't want to ruin it with her own personal problems. She cleared her throat. "Alone?"
"I'll be downstairs." Sam said.
"Thanks Sam."
As soon as he was out of earshot, Rachel showed Quinn her phone.
"Are you seriously working right now?" she asked before she even looked at the phone.
Rachel rolled her eyes annoyed and gave the phone to Quinn. "Read the texts."
Quinn went to Rachel texts and her eyes widened. "How did he get your new number?"
"I don't know." Rachel was biting her nail nervously while Quinn read the texts out loud.
"Rachel we need to talk. / Rach baby please answer me. / I want to talk to you. / I miss you. / I want you back and I know that you hate me right now but I want us to give us another try. / Baby I'm on a plane heading towards you. / Hey babe can't wait to see you. I'm driving towards the hotel right now. / I'm here where are you?"
Rachel had tears in her eyes as she heard Quinn read what she had already read that morning when she woke up.
"First of all, what the fuck? Second of all, this is creepy. And third of all how the hell did he know where we were staying?" Quinn asked totally pissed.
"Q he's here. What am I gonna do? I can't see him. He... I... We…" Rachel started saying nervously.
"Honey stop. Take a deep breath."
She did.
"Now, calm down. He doesn't know where you are. We are on a boat. You are safe from his stupidity."
Rachel sighed. "What am I gonna say? I don't know how I'm going to act around him? I have ignored him on purpose as soon as he broke it off. Why now? I mean I have an idea since I've heard rumors but…"
"You're freaking out again. Deep breaths Rach."
Rachel nodded trying to calm down.
"It looks like he started texting you last night and hasn't stopped since. I think it's kind of creepy."
"I don't know what I'm gonna do."
Quinn felt the phone vibrate and looked at the new text. "Shit fuck. Don't freak out."
"What?" She asked afraid of what the text said.
"He said to look out in the water."
Rachel looked around her until her eyes widened in shock seeing her ex on a boat waving with a smile that used to make her knees go weak.
"Q damn it. I can't."
"Hey babe what's going on?" Puck asked.
Rachel jumped at Puck's voice and the way he kissed her cheek.
He frowned. "What's wrong baby?"
"Umm... I uh..."
Puck looked at Quinn who pointed out to the water. He saw a man with a pissed off look on his face, in a fancy outfit with a phone on his hand and the driver of the boat next to him. When he finally realized whom it was, his facial expression changed.
"Finn, really?" he asked and scoffed shaking his head. Dammit he could get a fucking break.
"We have no fucking clue why that son of a bitch is here." Quinn said.
"Noah…" Rachel started saying but was interrupted.
"Hey babe, you gonna let me up there?" Finn asked innocently.
Rachel couldn't take her eyes away from him. He looked so good and if she was honest with herself, she missed him.
"That asshole is not getting on this boat." Quinn said as the same time Noah said, "Hell no he's not welcomed after what you told me."
"He wants to talk." Rachel looked at Puck and he had a neutral look on his face and couldn't read him. But she was not going to let Finn get on the boat.
"I'm just gonna talk to him and that's all okay?" Rachel said.
"Do what you want. It was just sex between us right?" Puck asked knowing it was a low blow but right now he was hurt. She never told him it was Finn who broke her heart once again. Shocker right there.
Rachel was taken aback by his words but at the same time she couldn't really blame him. She started moving towards the stairs.
"Rach you can't possibly be thinking about going to him." Quinn said.
"It's just talking."
"You know it's not just talking." Quinn said sternly.
Rachel didn't want to hear her and grabbed her phone from her and walked towards the stairs. Quinn couldn't believe this. Puck was at her side while they both watched Rachel get on the boat where Finn was. Santana and Brittany were laughing as they made their way towards the two and noticed them watching out in the water.
"Holy shit! Are you fucking kidding me?" Santana said.
"Damn it!" Brittany whispered.
Quinn ran her hands through her hair and sighed looking at Puck who was still looking at the smaller boat arriving at the beach. "Why didn't you stop her?" She asked.
"You know as well as I do, she would have gone either way. It's Finn."
"Damn it he is a fucking asshole and he is going to screw with her mind promising what she wants to hear." Quinn said pissed off walking away.
,,,,,,,,,,
Rachel was seating across from Finn who in return had a smug look on his face. She rolled her eyes internally and looked passed him to where the sailboat was. She wanted more than anything to go back and be with Puck but she needed to do this.
"How did you know where I was?" she asked.
"I have my ways," he smirked.
"And by resources you mean, you fucked my manager or publicist to get info? So which one is it?" she asked passive aggressively.
He was taken aback at her forwardness but shook it off. "Baby..."
"Do not… call me baby." She glared.
"Rachel, I made a mistake. I don't know what I was thinking but I am so sorry and I want you back. We belong together." He said pleadingly yet knowingly.
"Really?" she smiled.
"Yes. I made a mistake and as soon as I realized it, I looked for you. You and me are golden. We can get married, have as many kids as you want and even get a white picket fence. Come on what do you say?" he asked proudly.
Rachel saw the way he looked so smug and self-righteous. He thought he had won this since the moment she laid eyes on him. She smiled sweetly and leaned in closer to him. "Finn if you would have come to me a month after we were done or if I'm honest with myself a week ago I would have maybe given you a second chance but not now."
"Baby I know you. You can't live without me. You love me too much." Finn said smugly.
She chuckled. "Actually you're right."
He smirked knowing he had won.
"I did love you and I've learn how to live without you."
His smirk faded.
"You see, I don't think you and I would work again. You are a self-centered, egotistical, man whore son of a bitch. If you hadn't broken up with me I wouldn't have seen it because I was so blindly in love with you. So really I should thank you for doing me a favor. Don't ever try this again unless you wanna embarrass yourself."
She stood up from her seat and started walking away. He was in awe and in shocked not knowing what to do or say until he saw her walk back to him and he smiled.
"I knew you weren't serious." He smirked.
She smirked and she held the back of the chair she had occupied just moments ago. "It's sucks doesn't it?"
"What?" Finn asked.
"I heard you haven't gotten real work since we broke up."
His eyes widened.
"You never loved me and if you did it faded a long ass time ago. You just wanted to be with me so that people would think you actually had talent. I bet it sucks doesn't it?
Finn didn't know what to say.
"See you around Finn." She winked at him and walked away from him proudly.
,,,,,,,,,,
Rachel was smiling widely as she walked towards the smaller boats. She couldn't wait to see Puck and tell him the great news. Her smiled faded when she saw her friends and Sam with their luggages and Puck's sailboat moving further away from the beach.
"Where is he going?" she asked her heart beating rapidly and it hurt horribly.
"Where do you think? You chose Finn over him or at least he thought you did because from what I see you didn't right?"
Rachel shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Quinn sighed. "He apologized and Ethan brought us here."
"I made sure Finn knew we were completely done." Rachel explained.
"To late mama. He is headed to Italy for his next film." Santana said.
"I'm sorry Rach." Brittany pouted.
Rachel shook her head in disbelief and pushed the tears away as she saw Puck's boat sail away. "You know what? He was right. It was just sex. Let's go home."
Quinn, Santana and Brittany looked at each other and knew very well Rachel was lying immensely but weren't going to say anything. For now anyway.

FIN
Don't hate me please (hides under the blankets) There will be a sequel so that the beautiful Puckleberry reunites.
I finally have a couple of ideas where I'm going with this (honestly this is where I had stopped writing cause I had no muse) but I would love to read your opinions to where you would like this to be headed.
p.s. the sequel would be a year later and Rachel and Puck are extremely busy with their careers.
