Hey guys i got inspired by some posts on tumblr to do this story. It's going to be very short. Maybe 10 chapters only so read on and enjoy. It's going to be fun to write. Based on the song Take Her From You by Dev.
DISCLAIMER: NO CHARACTERS ARE MINE (EXCEPT CADEN, because I no longer watch glee so I have no idea what Brody is like so I made up my own guy for Rachel. Plus the name Brody sounds douchey)
Happy Reading
Take Her From You Chapter 1
RPOV
"Are you sure we want her here?" Kurt whispered to me. I gave him a disapproving look at what he was insinuating. His eyebrow raised a little in question and I noticed the subtle differences in the man standing before me as opposed to the boy I met years ago.
"Kurt we need another roommate, you said so yourself just last week, she's your friend too" he gave me a look.
"I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Why can't Caden take the room?" he asked I sucked my teeth, hearing the ridiculousness of my boyfriend being in another bedroom when he could just share mine with me.
"Okay fine, she is a good acquaintance of yours, but she is my friend Kurt. She wants to move to New York; we have each other why should she be alone?" I asked He put his arm around my shoulder and kissed my cheek.
"Damn you Rachel Berry and your warmhearted logic" he replied. We walked to her door. She's only been here 30 minutes and already she had her suitcases strewn all over the floor and clothes on the chair. She looked at something on the walls before turning to us. The smile on her face resembled the one when she was up to no good. Kurt cringed a little, still feeling the fear or Santana's stares.
I stepped forward to her and she took my hand.
"Come here" the excitement in her voice left me curious. She pointed to the pall pink walls.
"I'm going to repaint the room, what are your favorite colors?" she asked looking from me to Kurt and back to me. Kurt took a step inside and came to stand by us. He cocked his head to the side and put his hands out in front of him as if he was taking a photograph.
"I like a light blue for these walls" he replied
She looked at me now. "And you? She asked me excitedly.
I shrugged trying to figure out her angle.
"Kids dinner" Caden shouted from the living room. Kurt scoffed earning himself a nudge from me.
He left the bedroom leaving Santana and I alone. She played with the pendant around her neck and sat on the air mattress. Over the years I got to know Santana's nuances; like right now I could feel the feeling of being overwhelmed coming from her. I sat next to her on the mattress so she would know that I am here for her.
"Hey" I said taking her hand "you made a good decision and it may feel like you haven't but you did"
"Are you sure? I feel like the world is pushing me here for a reason"
"New York does that to you. This is a good thing, and you are surrounded by friends"
She gave me an exasperated look. "Okay fine, you and Kurt will get to that place at some point. You've got me, we're friends now right?" she nodded "okay then, and Quinn is only a couple miles away. This is where you're supposed to be; take advantage of this great thing"
Santana continued holding on to her pendant not saying. Her other hand was still in my own when Caden poked his head through the doorway.
"Hey ladies. I got Chinese" he said winking at me. Santana dropped my hand and looked at me.
"Your boy toy or Kurt's?" she asked looking impressed nonetheless.
"Santana this is Caden, Cade this is Santana Lopez, our new roommate"
She gave him a thumbs up for a greeting.
"Nice tofinally meet you Santana sorry I missed you and Quinn, I think on your last visit. I'm going to go eat now. Join us when you're ready. It's great to have you here Santana" he said walking away
She mumbled something looking back at her stuff. "My room is a mess. Go eat Rach; I'll do some cleaning up here before I eat"
I waved her off. "I'll help you Santana, it's no problem at all. It'll give us some girl time. I'll admit that living with two boys can be a pain at times. It's nice to have another girl here"
She put her hand around my shoulder and her head against my own. "This is going to be fun"
Hours later we were all lying on Santana's air mattress exhausted from unpacking. Caden's hand was around me while one of my feet stretched over Kurt and Santana.
"Oh my god. Santana it must be illegal to have that many scarves" he said looking at the scarf rack that he spent the latter part of the evening filling for her.
"Don't worry Lady Hummel, you can borrow them" she replied tired.
Caden nipped on my neck, and then blew on the slight wetness he left there. I smiled at the feeling, as he whispered in my ear.
"I missed you today" I could feel his erection against my butt, which made me smile. Santana looked at me with a questioning look.
"Night guys" I said hurriedly getting off the mattress leading Caden out the room and into ours. He lifted me into the air when we ran across the living room to our bedroom. Luckily the door was open. He walked us through the door, closing it with his foot and walked us over to the bed.
"Gooooood morning" I said walking over to the table. Kurt sat at the table with a bowl of cereal. He mumbled morning to me and went back to trying to wake himself. I went over to the marble counters beside the sink for one of the bowls
Kurt and I bought together when we first moved in. I pulled the seat out and sat next to Kurt when a door opened.
Santana came stumbling out of her room with a blanket over her head. She zombie walked towards us, stopping abruptly. The look on her face went from misery to disbelief in 1.5 seconds.
"Holy naked man" she said
Kurt and I looked at one another then behind us. Caden was walking towards the kitchen table in all his glory. Kurt grimaced at the sight, I smiled, and Santana had a look of disgust on her face.
"Dude you are all kinds of naked" she said standing next to Kurt.
Caden shrugged pulling the chair next to me out. "I'm pretty comfortable with my body, what can I say"
Kurt dropped his spoon in the bowl and got up abruptly.
"I need to get out here" he said walking towards his room. Santana turned following him.
"Wait up Kurt. I suddenly have the need to be 500 miles away from where his nuts are touching that chair" she said
QPOV
"Hey Loser" I said walking towards Santana. She stood in the exact spot of Grand Central Station we met in couple weeks ago when we came to talk to Rachel. She gave me a smirk walking towards me.
"Hey yourself bitch" she replied pulling me in for a hug. Shocked that she actually willingly hugged me a thought ran through my head that Rachel must be rubbing off on her. I pulled away from her, looking around.
"Where's Rachel?" I asked still looking around to see if she would appear. In the crowds of people walking around us, none of them even remotely resembled Rachel. Santana took the lighter of my bags from me.
"Come on let's get going" she said. I raised my eyebrow and her shoulders slumped a little.
"You're a pain in the ass you know that? She's at school; Kurt is heaven knows where and hopefully Caden will be wearing clothes"
"Wha-"
"Long story, let's just say it's a good thing you're gay for Berry"
She turned heading towards the door without giving me a chance to offer a rebuttal. I tightened the grip on my bag walking to catch up to her.
"Hey I'm not" I looked around realizing we were starting to cause a scene "I'm not into Rachel"
"Whatever you say Quinn; want to get something to eat before we go back to the loft? There's this really cool place I think you would like"
"Santana I'm not into Rachel. She and I are friends" I replied as we walked down the street.
Santana hailed us a cab back to the apartment, which I spent mulling over how good it would be to see Rachel again. It hasn't been a long time, but something about her not being in the same building as I am day in and day out was eating at me. Thank god we had an entire week to catch up in both New York and Lima for the wedding. Rachel called Santana on our way saying she would meet us in an hour at the restaurant Santana told me about. It gave me just enough time to get my stuff situated in Santana's room, wash up and maybe some shopping.
I couldn't wait to see everyone from my past life, well most of them.
"Hey, look alive we're here" she said. We paid the driver and got my luggage from the trunk. As we started walking up the steps to the second floor Santana smiled. "We have a little time to catch up before we meet Rach so you can tell me about those New Haven honeys"
"As if I would even notice" I said rolling my eyes.
Okay so this is it so far. Love it? Hate it? Definitely more to come soon.
