Chapter 1
Los Angeles, USA
"Ah, finally. I've been calling you like a zillion times for these past three days."
Those words hit Quinn's ear even before she had a time to say 'hello'. When she finally recognized the voice on the other line, Quinn laughs lightly, "Puckerman, I know how much you miss me, but could you please lower down your voice? I don't want people around you thinking that we're an item or something, there have been some rumours about an affairs between actresses and their managers. But sorry Puck, you know that I play for other team."
The Mohawk-haired guy (who is also Quinn's manager and bestfriend) laughs humourlessly, "Oh how funny."He said with a flat tone.
Quinn stands up and walks towards the big window in her office, gazing through the street out there, phone still on her ear. The streets are full of crowds, people are wearing their coats and walk along the sidewalk. It's just a very common view that most people didn't care about. But Quinn likes it. She likes to see the crowds from her office building, especially when the sunlight streaming brightly through the window. God, she loves spring morning.
"It's a good thing that you're out and proud now, Quinn. As your manager, I was so afraid that it'll damage your career, but I was wrong. Maybe some people still can't believe about that, but mostly they started to accept you for who you really are."
"Thanks Puck, I'm glad that it didn't end up with a dramatic news." She lets out a relieve breath. "Anyway, I knew that you've been calling me and I'm sorry that I haven't answered your calls. You know, I've been preparing for a short movie project with Michael Chang (the director) in London. I have to be there next week, so.. gotta finish with all interviews and commercials in here." Quinn explains.
"I know that directing an indie movie has been your passion lately, but I have an offer for you."
"What is that? And you know, I didn't quit from acting. But working with Michael Chang and directing a short movie is quite a catch for me."
"Yeah I know. So, you know my cousin Jesse, right? His bestfriend, Rachel, is a singer and she was just release her new single. Have you ever heard about her? Well, she's not quiet famous yet. Jesse said that she took a time off from broadway for a little while and try her luck on writing her own song."
"Hmm.. I've never heard about her before. So what's your offer?"
"So, coincidentally Michael Chang is also the director of Rachel Berry's music video for her new single. And Jesse told me that Rachel is still looking for an actress in her music video. So, would you want to help my cousin's bestfriend with her work? They'll shoot the video in London too. And I think you'll be a perfect model. What do you think?"
Quinn leans her head against the window and sighs softly, "Do I have any other choice?"
"No." Said Puckerman with a triumph laugh. "Okay, it means that you're agree with my offer. Oh, Quinn, just so you know, it'll be just the two of you in that video and your face will not be seen throughout the music video. Just Rachel's face would be seen in the whole video."
"What? Why?" Quinn furrowed one of her right eyebrow, this is one of her talent besides acting.
"To be honest, I think that your face is too gorgeous to appear in the music video" He said jokingly. "But don't worry, eventhough it's just the back of your head that would be seen, the whole world would know that it is you, Quinn Fabray. Who knows, what if her single will be on top 40 and her music video become popular? People will recognize you even by just looking at the back of your head. It's a win-win for us. Oh, I'll forward to you the email that Jesse sent to me. It was Rachel's song and I guess she's quite great."
Quinn sighs again, I little bit over-dramatic this time, but she smiles anyway. Her bestfriend is just ridiculous sometimes, but she thinks that the offer is quite great, besides, she likes to help people. "Noah Puckerman, I'm a very busy person, either in here or later in London. So tell me, why would I have to spend my precious time to appear on your cousin's bestfriend if my face wouldn't be seen throughout the whole video?"
Puck doesn't even paying attention to Quinn's question, and then he asked her teasingly, "Busy? You mean busy for asking some girl for going out with you?" and then he chuckled, "When will you introduce your girlfriend to me? I'm your bestfriend you know."
Quinn raises her eyebrow again, "What do you mean? What girlfriend?"
"A girl that I saw with you exit the restaurant last night. Is she the one who keeps you busy lately?" asked Puck. Quinn narrows her eyes to remember about last night, and some other dinner things before last night, "She isn't my girlfriend."
"Aha, don't lie to me, Quinn."
"She. Is. Not. My. Girlfriend" She emphasizing every words. "Anyway, what is it all about? Did you just quit your job as my manager and become a papparazi now?"
"Hey, I was just asking, Quinn" He laughed as he heard her reaction.
Suddenly, the door of her office was open and then Quinn turns around. Her eyes focus on the blonde-haired girl, with a tall figure- which almost looks like herself. She raises her right hand, greeting the other blonde without saying anything, and gives her a quick smile. A smile that made both boys and girls would be crazy over her.
"I gotta go. Talk to you later, Puck." Without waiting for Puck's answer, she shuts her phone off and put it on the pocket of her jeans, and then she turns around to her sister, "Frannie, you should talk to your mom."
Frannie Anne Fabray, she's three years older than Quinn, but they both had that-almost-identical faces which every single person wouldn't get tired of staring at them in font of their television. They both an actress, well- Frannie is more a fashion model than an actress. They both had that perfect body figure and perfect flowing blonde hair. But Quinn's hair is just about her lower neck while Frannie's is much longer.
"Good morning too, Q." She said while she was smoothing her dress and sits on the couch. "And what should I talk about with your mother?" She asked to her little sister with her narrowed eyebrows.
Quinn groans and let herself sits beside her sister, "Frannie, you really need to talk to our mom. I'm glad that she accepted me after I came out to her as a lesbian, but.. She really need to stop introducing me to her friends' daughter, or her assistant- or just like what happened last night, someone that she was just met on beauty shop! This is crazy." She closes her eyes and resting her head on the couch, "Why she was so obsessed with the idea of getting me a… girlfriend? I know what I'm doing. Besides, I'm so busy now, I can't just playing around with them."
Frannie giggles softly when she heard her sister complaining about the blind dates that their mother has set up. She feels a little relieved because she's already married. If she hasn't married yet, she knew that she'll trapped with the whole blind date things. "So, I guess your dinner last night didn't really work out? You don't like that girl?"
Quinn opens her eyes and then she looks at her sister with a serious gaze, "Do you believe if I told you that 'that girl' was just graduated from High School?" Frannie eyes widen and then she bursts out into laughter, "Oh my God! Mom really out of the line sometimes. You should talk to her by yourself, Quinnie."
"I tried, but mom won't even hear me. She said that she was just wanted to help me because I'm too busy and I don't have a time for relationship. She said that I should respect her effort." Quinn said with a miserable tone.
"Maybe after she tried three times and failed, I think she will give up." Frannie shrugs.
Quinn shakes her head quickly while she is checking a new incoming emails on her phone,one of those email was from Puck. "Oh, I don't think so. She asked me yesterday what kind of a girl that I like and right for me. I bet she won't give up."
"And what did you said?"
"I said that I'll continue this conversation after I came back from London."
"Oh so you're really going to London next week?" asked Frannie. "You know, mom never feels comfortable with the idea of you travel abroad. Especially when she knows that you'll working on movie or video projects or whatever. I bet that you'll stay a little longer when it comes to acting or helping the director to direct something. Have you told mom about this?"
Quinn nods "Oh yeah, she was ranting about this and she looked a little disappoint. But it's okay, the important thing is finally I could run away from all those crazy blind dates for a little while."
"Well, there's always a bright side from everything. Maybe you'll meet someone in London." Frannie nudged Quinn's side teasingly and Quinn just give her a little smile and shakes her head.
Do you want to play this music?
She clicks Yes
And by the time Quinn's office was filled with Rachel's voice, Quinn doesn't even remember what conversation she just had with her sister, her mind is focus on the peaceful and calming voice that she's never heard before.
Quite good? Puck must be kidding. This is beautiful, this is-
"Who's singing that song? I've never heard of it before, but she's great."
And with Frannie's question, Quinn blinks a few times and back in her realization. She doesn't answer her sister question but she is sure about one thing: She can't wait for London.
Reviews are very welcome :) And oh, Rachel and Quinn are in their 22-ish year old.
