"Quinn, I'm never listening to you ever again!"
"God! Stop screaming, Rachel! I know, I'm never listening me either." she cringed as she tried to get up from the couch where they had both passed out after a night of too much drinking at that end of term party Quinn had dragged them to.
"How did we even got home?" whispered as she slowly massaged her temples to try appeasing the terrible headache she was feeling. "The last thing I remember, I was dancing with that girl and -"
"More like she was giving you a lapdance." Quinn cut her
"It was completely innocent, It's not my fault things got a little wild, you know I can't handle too much alcohol."
"Good luck telling that to Lily.."
"Oh gosh Lily!" she gasped. " I was supposed to call her last night." she quickly searched for her phone that had slipped under the coffee table.
"Shit!" she cursed after checking the screen."Seven missed calls, she's going to be so mad at me." Rachel sat back next to the tall blonde and closed her eyes. Along with the missed calls were about ten text messages from her girlfriend, each one getting more unpleasant as the hours had passed.
"Quinnie, can you get me an aspirin please?" she whined, lying back on the couch and putting a cushion on her face.
"I'm not your servant, go get it yourself and bring me one too, I'm dying over here!"
"Pleaaaaaase, pretty please Quinnie-boo."
"Fine, fine, just stop talking." she replied before painfully getting up to go get the aspirin from the medicine cabinet.
Rachel smirked, amused that begging and pet names always worked on Quinn and she always got anything she wanted from her roommate and had met here in New York, almost two years ago, introduced by mutual friends and immediately appreciated each other and became inseparable from day one. Rachel was at NYADA, whereas Quinn was at Juilliard, graduating in Writing and Communication. After about three months, they just ditched their respective campus arrangements and decided to rent that small but nice apartment together. Everything had been perfect since then, well until Rachel started a relationship with Lily, at least that's what Quinn thought.
Quinn came back with two little tablets and a bottle of water and handed them to her.
"I'm gonna take a shower, you better call the She-Hulk."
"Stop calling her that, she's not always angry!"
"She is and you know it but whatever" she retorted heading once again towards the bathroom. Rachel quickly swallowed the pills and picked up her phone again, deciding it would be probably better to go with a text message first. .
Hey sweetheart, I'm really sorry about last night, I'll make it up to you, promise!
Call me on your break? xox
After a minute she heard a buzz signaling her of the reply.
I'm busy, call me tonight. If you remember!
She sighed and got up, deciding they could use a little breakfast even though it was almost one in the afternoon. Searching through the pantry for ingredients to make pancakes, blueberries one as Quinn loved, the thought back to the conversation she had had a few days back with her beautiful girlfriend. She was trying to think of ways she could bring the topic to Quinn without her getting upset.
Everything was almost ready when Quinn appeared looking gorgeous and fresh, wearing a short short showing off her amazing legs and a small tank top that fitted perfectly. She squealed seeing pancakes and everything else Rachel had prepared.
"I seriously love you right now Rae, you know that." she said immediately stuffing a large piece of pancakes in her mouth, not even bothering sitting own first. Rachel just smiled and serve her a big mug of freshly made coffee.
So how's She-Hulk?
Rachel cringed but didn't correct her. "She's mad." she simply answered.
"Well duh." smirked the blonde.
"That's not funny!"
"Sorry Rae, she'll get over it, where is she again?"
"Out of town for business, meeting some people who want to invest in her dad's company or something like that, I don't really know."
Quinn simply nodded and continued eating the delicious pancakes.
"What about you? Are you seeing Noah today?" asked the tiny brunette
"Nah, I don't plan on leaving the apartment today and I'm sure he's busy with football practice or something."
"You guys are so weird, you've been together for like what, 4 months now and you barely see each other, doesn't it bother you?"
"Not at all, we're just cool about it, no pressure."
" Sometimes I wish Lil would be more like you"
Quinn stopped her fork mid-air, looking confused. "What- what do you mean?"
Not noticing the change in her friend expression, Rachel turned around to the counter to get some more coffee.
"You know, you're a free spirit, I just want a non-complicated, drama free relationship, it's like everything I do is never enough for her."
"Oh right." Quinn murmured, feeling a little disappointed by the answer she was given.
"Anyway, I don't feel like going anywhere else either, so what shall we do? Rachel finished her fruit salad and put her plate in the sink.
Quinn did the same with her plate and mug and started cleaning up the table.
"Well there's a Stephen King's movies marathon, I was planning on watching that all day, join me?" she offered.
"Uh, I don't know, some of his movies are really creepy, specially the clown one." the smaller girl shivered, never been a big fan of this genre.
"Oh come on Rae, it'll be fun and I'll protect from the big bad clown and the even from the psycho dog. A lazy day, just you and me what do you say?" Quinn looked so excited that she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Alright fine, just you and me." she smiled.
So all afternoon and evening was spent with the snuggled together in front on the television, with Rachel hiding her face into Quinn's neck every time she got scared about something on the screen. The blonde couldn't be any happier, she loved those special alone time with Rachel, even more now that their bodies were pressed together and she could smell the sweet perfume of her skin, she smelled like raspberries. She wouldn't dream of being somewhere else.
The girls later had a light dinner and it was then soon bedtime. True to her word Quinn even checked all the rooms of the apartment after to make sure there was no crazy clown as Rachel got a little paranoid.
"You were right Quinnie, it was kind of fun, thank you for protecting me of these evil creatures." she joked and leaned forward to kiss her lightly on the cheek.
" It was a pleasure, Ma lady!" she smiled, feeling a little flushed. "Goodnight Rae."
"Night, sweet dreams." she replied going to her bedroom.
Finally comfortably installed in her bed, Rachel dialled the number she now knew by heart, preparing herself for what she believed wouldn't be a very enjoyable conversation.
After a few seconds, a lovely but rather cold voice welcomed her.
"Hey baby, how are you? I miss you"
"Seems you weren't missing me all that much last night!"
"Please Lil, don't be angry, I had forgotten my phone at home. I'm sorry!"
"I spent half the night waiting for you Rach, not a call or even a text. I hope you had fun at least!"
"It was fine, please can we not fight, I'm really sorry, it won't happen again. I promise."
She heard a loud sigh but then the voice on the other end of the line became much softer.
"So how much do you miss me."
Rachel smiled and relaxed
"I miss you so much darling, I can't wait for you to come back."
"And did you think about what we talked the other day?"
The dark-haired girl immediately tensed up once again.
"I'm thinking about it but I need to discuss it with Quinn first, you know"
"No I don't know, why do you have to discuss it with her?"
Lily was starting to raise her voice and Rachel could feel that this would turn into an argument once more.
"I don't understand why you always need her approbation, she's not your mother, she"s not your girlfriend. It's like she's more important than me! Every time it's Quinn this, Quinn that, I'm getting tired of that."
"Don't start with that again please, you are my girlfriend, there is absolutely no reason for you to be jealous of Quinn. I just need to discuss that with her, she's my best friend and we've lived together since I moved here, doesn't that count for something?"
There was a huffed, followed by a small "Fine."
"What time are you getting here, do you want me to come pick you? Rachel asked to change the subject.
" I land around 11:30, I'll come around directly from the airport, is that okay?"
"Of course baby, I'll make you lunch and we can catch up a little. I can't wait to see your sexy little ass" she smirked.
In the other room, Quinn was scribbling down in her journal, she had started it at first to have some kind of practice for class but then it became a habit where she would write about everything and anything but mostly about her roommate.
...her laugh just fill the place, I don't understand how she does that to me...when I let myself dream...maybe in another world...she could be mine...
She quickly finished and put the diary in her side drawer and sighed contentedly. Sure, she doubted nothing would ever be possible between them but as long as she had the girl next to her, literally just a few feet away from her, she would be happy.
