Happy Reading!

Sam was shocked. The very woman he couldn't get out of his mind was HERE. His guardian angel must love or hate him right now, he wasn't too sure.

"Hi Sammy." Rachel said, with a smile.

"Rach..." Sam began. He wanted to say more but he couldn't ignore the cheers of the crowd.

"Sammy! Sammy!"

"Um...i don't know what to say Rachel." Sam continued.

Rachel gave him a warm smile. "We will talk afterwards. Your fans are waiting to hear your amazing voice."

Sam nodded. She was right. "Show must go on..." he replied with a wink.

Sam cleared his throat. "Hello Nashville. Nothing like a Ghost from your past coming back into your life. Mrs. Rachel St. James everyone." He gestured to the crowd.

"Rachel Berry, Sam!" Rachel added.

Whoa he wasn't expecting that. Blaine and Adam cleared their throats. Right back to work.

Sam tuned up his guitar again. Lights dimmed in the venue.

[AN: Ghost of You and Me is by BBMak]

**Sam is having flashbacks thinking of Rachel**

[Sam]
What am I supposed to do with all these blues
Haunting me
Everywhere no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will the night be over

I didn't mean to fall
In love with you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me through
It isn't love
It's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by phantom ships
Lost as sea and one of them is mine
Raising my glass I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I wonder why the stars don't seem to guide me

I didn't mean to fall
In love with you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me through
It isn't love
It's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

The ghost of you and me when will it set me free
I hear voices call following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go when will the night be over

I didn't mean to fall
In love with you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me through
It isn't love
It's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

I didn't mean to fall
In love with you
And baby there's a name
For what you put me through
It isn't love
It's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

As the song draws to a close, Sam is still reminiscing... Rach....

Sam looks at the crowd, and the crowd were wiping tears. His eyes locked to one pair of chocolate doe Bambi eyes.

Before he knew what happened, Rachel ran up onstage and pulled Sam into a long awaited hug.

Having Rachel back in his arms even for a moment...its his safest place to hide from the outside World.

Rachel whispered in his ear "I missed you too."

The crowd awed. Well, some girls looked on with jealousy, but whatever. All that mattered was that his Rachel was here.

Blaine looked on at his two best friends with a smile.

Adam nudged Blaine. "Um does he not realize that he has a performance?" Adam said.

Blaine smiled. "It can wait. This can't. "

Sam kissed Rachel's cheek. There would be plenty of time to talk.

"I am so glad you are here. But, I couldn't have Ms. Berry walk away without a song. " Sam said to Rachel and the crowd. "Will you sing for us, Rachel?"

The crowd cheered. Rachel could never turn away from a performance.

Rachel nodded. "Only if you sing with me Mr. Evans?"

Sam blushed. "I have just the song in mind. "

While singing this together, both remember the last time they sang this together in her basement. Happier times. The night they made love.

"Time After Time"
(originally by Cyndi Lauper)

[Rachel:]
Lying in my bed
I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new

Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after

[Sam:]
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said

Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

[Rachel with Sam:]
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you ([Sam:] I'll be waiting) ([Rachel:] I will be waiting)
Time after time

[Rachel:]
After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray

[Sam:]
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay

[Sam with Rachel:]
Secrets stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats out of time

[Rachel with Sam:]
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

[Rachel:]
You said go slow
I fall behind

[Rachel and Sam:]
The second hand unwinds

[Rachel with Sam:]
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

The crowd cheered. Sam couldn't resist, he excused himself for a moment. He took Rachel's hand to lead her backstage.

Blaine cheered. "Get your Berry, Sammy!"

Rachel giggled.

Soon they were in Sam's dressing room, pinned her against the door. Locking it so they wouldn't be disturbed. Tomorrow and all the worries and talks could wait.

"Sam what are you doing? Rachel asked.

Sam stared into her eyes. And smirked. In his best Elvis voice.

"Something I should be done a long time ago Baby."

Sam swept in and crashed his lips with hers.

His safest place to hide. All that mattered most. Rachel was here with him, and he will be damned if he let's her go without a fight.

Rachel pulled back a moment. "Sam..."

Sam silenced her and then trailed his lips down Rachel's neck.

"Rach, in the nicest way possible, shut up. Just feel. " Sam told her.

Rachel had to admit, this assertive Sam Evans was a turn on. She loved his lips.

"Kiss me Sam Evans." Rachel said, with a smile.

Sam kissed lower. "Yes ma'am..."

Talk can wait til later. This Samchel moment was a long time coming....

AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'll be updating all of my stories soon.

Merry Christmas!
