Chapter 32

Sam's POV

I walk down in the hallways holds my binder until I see Kate and Jake are laughing at each other in front of Jake's locker. Kate turn her face at me and waves me a hi. I smile at her until Jake turn his face at me and half-smiled at me.

I turn my face to my locker and open my locker and put my binder inside. Kate's photo is still sticking in my locker and no one know about this. She is like my guilty pleasures. Even something that I cant pull off.

But just like what my dad said to me. Never give up. There will be a time when Kate begged for my love then we get married and have sex. I even can imagine that.

I shut my locker and chuckle until Blaine shows me some cash. " Don't tell anyone and you don't have to thank me." Blaine says to me.

"Dude, what are you doing?" I chuckle.

"It's only 50 bucks. Just take the money. I know what you've been up to, and it just has to stop." Blaine says.

"What are you talking about?" I frown and shakes my head.

"Last week, I found a shortcut between my locker and the parking lot walking through the cafeteria cuts out 15 seconds from my daily routine and yesterday I saw something. You stole pasta. Listen, I know your dad's been struggling, and I just want to help. Help you feed your family. Hunger's a big problem in this country. Although so is obesity, which is confusing." Blaine says to me.

"Okay, can you promise to keep a secret?" I turn my face at Blaine.

"Yeah, of course." Blaine nodded.

"I have been stealing pasta. But it's not for dinner. It's it's art." I said to Blaine and walk away.

"What kind of arts?" Blaine shouts.

I didnt answer him but keep walking in the hallways until I turn my way to the arts room and show my macaroni arts to him.

"So what do you think?" I ask Blaine.

"Are those macaroni portraits?" Blaine asks me.

"They're my guilty pleasure. My art teacher thinks I'm some sort of a genius, like the ugly guy in Shine except with macaroni." I said to Blaine.

"Is this Emma Stone?" Blaine asks me.

"Yeah..And then you got LeAnn Rimes, Ralph Macchio. Those are the guys from Duck Dynasty. I even did Kurt." I said to him.

"The macaroni really captures him. Thank you for sharing this with me. This is really incredible." Blaine says to me and about to walk off.

"Whoa, whoa, not so fast. Now it's your turn." I stop Blaine.

"My turn for what?" Blaine frowns at me.

"For your guilty pleasure." I raise my eyebrows at him.

"I-I don't have a guilty pleasure." Blaine shakes his head.

"Okay, you're lying. Everybody's got that one thing that they like that they're so ashamed of that they refuse to admit it to anybody." I said to Blaine.

"I love Wham!" Blaine simply said.

"What?" I frown.

"The band Wham! They're like my favorite band of all time." Blaine says to me.

"Hi, guys." Tina knocks the door and standing in front of the door.

"Hey, Tina." Blaine smiles at Tina.

"Hey, Tina." I raise my eyebrows at Tina.

"Did you hear the news? Mr. Schue is out with the flu this week." Tina says to us.

"Hey, uh, just curious. Are you gonna go over to his house and straddle him while he's passed out and rub some ointment on chest?" I chuckle.

"That's was a phase. Anyway, don't bother coming to Glee Club this week. It's canceled." Tina simply said and walk away.

"Not necessarily." Blaine grins at me.

I raise my eyebrows and chuckle. Macaroni arts not really my guilty pleasure actually. My biggest guilty pleasure is Kate. Like literally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate's POV

I'm standing in front of the vanity mirror and looking at my outfit for today. A grey dress, bohemian cardigan, black converse, black fedora hat, and brown slingbag.

After that I walk out from girls toilet as the bells rings. My phone is vibrating and I just got a text from Blaine said that we have glee club. Isnt that Mr. Schue sick? I shrug and keep walking in the hallways and turn my way to the choir room with the other girls.

"Why are we here? I thought Mr. Schue was sick." Kitty frowns.

"Yeah, why are we here?" Tina asks.

"I was wondering the same thing." Unique simply said.

"Oh, come on, guys. Regionals is only a few weeks away. Even without an adviser, we can't afford to miss one week of preparation. Which is why Blaine and I asked you all to come here. We have come up with an assignment for this week." Sam says to us and walk to the white board.

"Please be songs about sweaters." Brittany simply said.

"Huh?" I raise my eyebrows as I see Sam write 'guilty pleasures' on the white board.

"Guilty pleasures." Sam grins at us.

"Come on!We all have some musical shame. You know what I'm talking about.You know, that secret love we dare not speak, but when it comes out on the radio, you can't help but turn up the volume and sing along?" Blaine says to us.

"Yeah, and we're supposed to sing one of those songs for regionals?" Ryder asks.

"No. Sam and I were speaking earlier, just, like, shooting the crap like two bros do, you know, and we felt really safe with each other." Blaine says to us.

"So we decided to reveal our guilty pleasures. And it felt amazing. I mean, letting go of this big secret made me feel so good." Sam grins at us.

"And figured if we all share musical shame with each other, we could all become a more cohesive team for regionals." Blaine says to us.

"Unique knows no shame, baby." Unique simply said.

"So, besides Unique, does anybody else have something they would like to share?" Sam asks us. "Guys, this is a great team-building exercise."

"Okay, well, then you guys go first." Jake says to them.

"We thought instead of telling you, we could show you!" Sam and Blaine take off their sweater and Wham!'s song start playing.

I'm laying flat in my bed while looking at the tv with Blaine and Sam are sitting down on the carpet floor and eating cheetos also chips.

"So, let's tell us about your guilty pleasure. Sam and I already told you." Blaine grins at me.

"Lindsay Lohan?" I raise my eyebrows at them.

"We already know that. Anything else." Blaine sayd to me.

"Yeah. Anything else." Sam nodded.

"Nah this is too embarassing." I shake my head.

I cant tell them even they my bestfriend. But my guilty pleasure is smelling Sam's armpit. His armpit has smell that really different from anyone else and I know this is disgusting but I like that.

"Come on, we are not in an interview or anything else, Kate." Blaine says to me.

"We're best friends." Sam says to me.

"I cant. This is too embarassing and disgusting." I said to them.

"Do you have feelings for me?" Sam frowns at me.

"What? No. No." I shake my head.

"Then what? I love Wham!" Blaine raises his eyebrows at me.

"Okay, mine is Barry Manilow. I love Barry Manilow." Sam says to us.

"I already knew about that." I simply said.

"What?" Blaine frowns.

"When we were on the way to Finchel Cancelled Wedding, Copacabana was playing on the radio and we sang along." I said to Blaine.

"And I guess I have to tell everyone else." Sam mumbled.

"Yeah you should and I'll tell you mine." I said to Sam.

"You cant do that." Blaine shakes his head at me.

"Okay I cant tell you guys. This is too embarassing." I whimpered.

"We promise we wont tell anyone else." Blaine says to me.

"Promise?" I raise my eyebrows.

"I swear." Blaine nodded and shows me his fingers also Sam.

"Okay this is the secret between three of us. If anyone else outside our circle know that. I will kill both of you, I swear." I said to them and jump from my bed and sit down in front of them.

"What's that?" Blaine frowns at me.

"I guess I know that." Sam raises his eyebrows at me then smell his armpit.

"Okay I dont get it, you guys." Blaine yelled.

"Sam..." I roll my eyes.

"Is it right?" Sam laughs.

"I will murder both of you if you both start having inside joke like this." Blaine protest.

"Dude, chill out. Her guilty pleasure is smelling my armpit." Sam laughs.

"Okay just spreaded it out." I sigh.

"Wh-what?" Blaine laughs out loud. "That's disgusting. I even dont wanna smell my armpit."

"I agree with that." Sam nodded as agree.

"I know it's disgusting even when I think about that I feel like Sam's armpit poisoning me." I said to them. "Like this." I take Sam's arm and raise it then smell his armpit.

"Eww Kate that was super disgusting." Blaine groans.

"But that was my guilty pleasure." I protest.

"Haha we know that." Sam laughs and put his hand around my shoulder then kisses my head.

"But still disgusting." Blaine frowns.

"Okay this is our secret. Even though we mad at each other or we fight, dont ever tell this to anyone else." I said to them. "And actually I have one more."

"What's that?" Sam asks me.

"I love Taylor Swift." I simply said.

"What? I cant count how many times you said you hate her." Blaine chuckles.

"But the fact I love her. I mean, she got many awards about her music and even though her voice was like an auto tune but sometimes I feel like her songs is my life soundtrack whatsoever." I said to them.

"Okay here is the thing. You tell them that you love Taylor Swift, and I will tell them about Barry Manilow." Sam says to me.

"Alright. But no one of you tell them about Sam's armpit not even Jake." I said.

"Yes. Your secret is safe with us." Blaine nodded.

"Great. I feel so clear after telling you guys this." I grin at them.

"And please dont smell his armpit in front of my face. That's disgusting or I wanna barf." Blaine simply said.

"I wont." I roll my eyes and move my seat sit down next to Sam and looking at the tv.

I turn my face. Blaine and Sam are really focus to the movie. I take Sam's arm and move his hand to bit up on my bed. Sam turn his face at me and let out a sigh. I grin at him and lean my head near his armpit.

Sam moves his hand and put his hand around my waist. I keep leaning my head near his armpit and watching tv also smelling his armpit at the same time. My guilty pleasure ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glee Club

Sam is standing in front of us and look scared at us. I just raise my eyebrows and take glances at Blaine until Sam let out a sigh and start speaking.

"I love Barry Manilow." Sam suddenly said. "I mean, not just, you know, the Barry Manilow Love on Ice Tour, but-but I think he's an amazing songwriter and performer, an I also believe he's underappreciated, has amazing hair, and has done a hell of a lot of good for this world through his light-rock talent. This is who I am, and I make no apologies." Sam says to us and takes Barry's blazer as the music start begin.

Sam:Her name was Lola, she was a showgirlWith yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to thereShe would merengue and do the cha-chaAnd while she tried to be a starTony always tended barAcross the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4They were young and they had each otherWho could ask for more?

Sam (New Directions):At the copa (copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana)The hottest spot north of Havana (here)At the copa (copa!)

Sam with New Directions:CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the copa.... (Sam: they fell in love)

New Diretions:Copa, Copacabana

Sam with New Directions harmonising:His name was RicoHe wore a diamondHe was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing thereAnd when she finished, he called her overBut Rico went a bit too farTony sailed across the barAnd then the punches flew, and chairs were smashed in twoThere was blood and a single gun shotBut just who shot who?

Sam (New Directions):At the copa (copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana)The hottest spot north of Havana (here)At the copa (copa!)

Sam with New Directions:CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the copa.... (Sam: she lost her love)

New Directions:Copa, Copacabana Copa, Copacabana, CopacabanaMusic and passion, always the fashionOoooh, oooh, oooh

Sam with New Directions harmonising:Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a showNow it's a disco, but not for Lola,Still in the dress she used to wear,Faded feathers in her hairShe sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blindShe lost her youth and she lost her TonyNow she's lost her mind

Sam (New Directions):At the copa (copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana)The hottest spot north of Havana (here)At the copa (copa!)

Sam with New Directions:CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the copa.... (Sam: don't fall in love)

Sam (New Directions):(Copa) Don't fall in love (Copacabana)Don't fall in love (Copacabana)(Copacabana)

Sam with New Directions:Copacaba-a-na

Sam ended up his song with full of applauding from the others. I guess that everyone loves Barry.

"That was so brave." Blaine applauding.

"You've given me the courage to stand well, sit in front of my peers and proudly state that I'm a Fan-ilow as well." Artie says to us.

"Guys, I like him, too." Jake says to the others.

"Music aside, the guy's got style. All right, if it was '79, I'd be rocking the Manilow center part instead of the Bieber." Ryder grins at us.

"No wonder his hair like that." I whisper at Jake.

"Babe, dont make jokes here." Jake chuckles.

"Are you guys kidding? You guys really like Barry, huh?" Sam asks us.

"Dude, everyone loves Barry, but thank you for making us finally say it out loud. Go Sam." Blaine's applauding.

"We love the Barry! Best number ever!" Artie yelled happily.

"Okay your turn." Sam points at me as everyone start turn their face at me.

"What? No. I dont have any guilty pleasure." I shake my head.

"We already bet, if I brave myself to tell them that I love Barry Manilow, you have to tell them your guilty pleasure." Sam says to me.

"You make a bet with yourself." I simply said.

"Come on, Kate." Blaine says to me.

"Alright, alright." I let out a sigh and walk to the front. Everyone just look at me and raise their eyebrows at me even Jake. I take a deep breath and let out a sigh. "I love....."

"Taylor Swift." Sam simply said as the others turn their face at Sam. "She loves Taylor Swift."

"But you said that you hate her many times. Even everytime we wanna sing her song you always refuse that." Artie frowns at me.

"I know. I know that. I mean I know she is super skinny and makes everyone uncomfortable just like Marley but she is an amazing song writer and singer. I mean watch Billboard or Teen Choice or Kids Choice or any other award. She got the most one despite of all her relationships drama and being menizer. I dont know how to say that but I like her. Even though her voice sometimes sounds like auto-tune but her songs are like my life soundtrack. So I already prepare a number and this one is my favorite song from her." I said to them and take a bench and sit down on the front.

Kate:You were in college working part-time waitin’ tablesLeft a small town, never looked backI was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say "Can you believe it?As we’re lying on the couch?"The moment I can see itYes, yes, I can see it now

Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?You put your arm around me for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughterYou are the best thing that’s ever been mine

Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together,And there’s a drawer of my things at your placeYou learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded,You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes

But we got bills to pay,We got nothing figured out,When it was hard to take,Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?You put your arm around me for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughterYou are the best thing that’s ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?You saw me start to believe for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughterYou are the best thing that’s ever been mine

Oh, oh, oh

And I remember that fightTwo-thirty AMWhen everything was slipping right out of our handsI ran out crying and you followed me out into the streetBraced myself for the "Goodbye"‘cause that’s all I’ve ever knownThen you took me by surpriseYou said, "I’ll never leave you alone"

You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the waterAnd every time I look at you, it’s like the first timeI fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughterShe is the best thing that’s ever been mine" Whoa

You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughterYou are the best thing that’s ever been mineDo you believe it?We're gonna make it nowAnd I can see itI can see it now

I ended up my song and the others are stand up from their seat and applauding for me. I'm just smiling at them after singing this song.

"That was so brave to deny your words and let your deep dark secret come out. Good job." Artie says to me.

"Thank you, Artie." I smile at Artie.

"And got to be honest that you sang that song better than the original one. You're amazing, babe." Jake smiles at me and walks closer to me then hugs me.

"Thank you." I smile back at him and walk to my seat next to Jake. "Your turn, Blaine." I point at Blaine.

"What? I-I didnt join to bet with both of you last night." Blaine shakes his head.

"But you were there." Sam simply said.

"Yes, and it would be unfair if we share that but you didnt." I said to Blaine.

"Come on, Blaine. Dont be ashamed." Tina says to Blaine.

"Do that or I wont let you getting back together with Kurt. I've planned to tell him that you sort of changed to be a better person actually." I grin at Blaine.

"Okay, fine. I'll do that." Blaine sighs and walks to the front.

He is sitting down in front of the piano and start playing the piano. Sometimes he turn his face at us but sometimes he starred at Sam. I know this.

Blaine:How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh You're the only one who really knew me at all 

How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave 'cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all 

So take a look at me now, Well, there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Oh, take a look at me now, Well, there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face 

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all 

Oh, so take a look at me now, Well, there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Now take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space, ohBut to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face 

Take a good look at me now, 'cause I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds It's the chance I've got to takeTake a look at me now (Oh, woah)Take a look at me nowOh, hmm

Blaine ended up his song and that was sad actually. We stand up from our seat and applauding for him.

"So, who was that about exactly, Blaine?" Tina asks Blaine.

"Shut it." Kitty mumbles at Tina.

"Uh, it was about Kurt, obviously. That breakup's still a fresh wound. But it's really about the musical genius of Phil Collins, and like any musician of his time, when you dominate that period with such success, people tend to make fun of you and put them down, but the truth is he's a musical legend, and I'm tired of people making fun of him. And I'm gonna dedicate a good part of my future ensuring that his genius is understood and appreciated. I am no longer in the closet about my love for Phil Collins." Blaine grins at us.

"All right, everybody, give it up for Blaine Anderson." Sam says to us and applauding for Blaine.

I turn my face at Sam and he just take glances at Blaine. I guess he knows that he is Blaine's guilty pleasure. Ugh okay I promised that I dont wanna tell this to anyone else so I better to keep it shut.

~~~~

Sam's POV

I'm walking enter the auditorium and Blaine is sitting down in front of the piano and playing it also write something.

"What's that?" I asked Blaine.

"I wanted to do one more Phil Collins song before they made us put our guilty pleasures back in the closet." Blaine says to me.

"Well, maybe we don't have to. I mean, everybody seems to be having so much fun with them out on the table. Maybe life's just better this way." I said to him.

"I don't know about that. I think if we always indulged ourselves in that kind of thing, I think we'd make a lot of people pretty uncomfortable." Blaine says to me.

"You don't have to be uncomfortable. Dude, it's okay. I-I get it. Your your guilty pleasure is me. Um... I mean, I-I've known all year, and you know, frankly, I'm an attractive guy, and you are into dudes, and if you weren't into me, I'd probably be pretty offended." I said to Blaine.

"Hm-hm, um you're not freaked out?" Blaine asks me. "Because I don't want to jeopardize our friendship. I mean, you've been there for me.."

"Dude. Okay. Just stop." I cut him off.

"Throughout this whole Kurt thing.."

"Nothing's gonna change. Stop. Nothing is going to change." I cut him off.

"Oh. Okay?" Blaine raises his eyebrows at me.

"We're like we're like brothers. I trust you, and you know, to tell you the truth, the attention feels kind of kind of good. It-It's flattering. Hug it out. Let's go. Come on. Hug it out." I said to Blaine as we both start hugging each other.

"Thanks, man." Blaine half-smiled at me.

"And actually I kinda have guilty pleasure on someone too." I simply said.

"I know that. It's Baby Hummel right?" Blaine chuckles.

"How could you know that?" I raise my eyebrows at him.

"The way you look at her is different and I kinda eavesdrop your conversation with Burt when we brough the puppy to her house. Those affection already show them off. You're into her." Blaine says to me.

"I mean, even though she can be annoying, spoilt like baby, love smelling my armpit. I cant deny that I love her more than best friend to best friend." I sigh.

"And you let her to date anyone else?" Blaine raises his eyebrows at me.

"What am I supposed to do? I want to see her happy. Just wait for that. I believe that she is going back to be mine. Well, she is already mine and will always be mine. I even already get permission from Burt. She can date anyone else but she has to marry me." I grin at Blaine and walk off.

"Haha you sounds crazy and desperate in love." Blaine laughs.

"I am." I simply shout.
