February 2017
Hurriedly, Rachel tried to find the source of the ringing, pushing past her keys, a book and her makeup bag her hand finally grasped the vibrating phone and pulled it out from the black hole that was her bag.
"Hello, Rachel Berry speaking?" Rachel answered after taking a deep breathe.
Listening intently to the person on the phone Rachel grabbed her keys and began to unlock the door, slamming it shut before rushing into the house.
"Why, Thank you. Thank you so much. I look forward to it. Yes. Tomorrow?… 11 sounds perfect" As soon as the line went dead Rachel let out a shriek into the quiet and empty looking penthouse flat. Trying to contain her excitement Rachel began searching through the house, walking into the study she found a note plastered on top of the huge mac screen that sat on the desk.
'Forgot to get something for Dinner, went food shopping. Will be back around…. 6ish..
Love you Q x'.
Rachel tossed the note in the bin and giggled to herself, looking at the lit up screen behind her, seeing the blonde's work she decided not to touch it and grabbed her folder before heading into the dining room/living area. Settling at the breakfast bar Rachel opened up her folder, opening it up to the page of possible venues. Including 'Central Park' 'The Foundry' & 'All Saints Church'; at the moment Rachel's favourite location was The Foundry as they had the perfect space for a quiet ceremony and then a larger space for the reception. Continuing to flick through the pages and write down little notes, wherever she found the space, on the borders of each photograph; the door latch clicked and Rachel jumped up. Rushing to the door she attacked the blonde in a huge hug as the other girl struggled to get into her own apartment with the shopping bags.
"Rachel baby, calm down, let me put these bags down and then you can jump me okay?" The taller girl laughed before walking toward the kitchen and setting the bags down.
Rachel followed the girl.
"I did it, Quinn! I got the part!" Rachel screamed, Quinn's face lit up and rushed over to her fiancé picking her up and holding her close before giving her a passionate kiss on the lips.
"I knew you could do it" Quinn mumbled softly before kissing her again. Once they had popped open a bottle of champagne that they saved for the first time this happened Rachel called her dads, Shelby and Kurt who all congratulated the brunette. Once she had finally finished her phone call with Kurt she walked back into the kitchen where Quinn was preparing their dinner. Sniffing the air Rachel smiled.
"And what's for dinner tonight baby?"
"Like you don't know just by smelling the air" Quinn replied continuing to stir the red sauce in front of her.
"It wouldn't happen to be my favourite vegan spaghetti bolognese" Rachel bit her lip trying to act all cute.
"Yes it would be Miss Berry" Quinn walked toward the girl "You didn't touch my work did you?" She questioned seriously.
Rachel shook her head. "Why?"
"Because this might be what gets me from an intern to a assistant" Quinn smirked at the thought.
"Wow that's amazing Quinnie" Rachel gave her a small peck before her phone began to buzz on the counter" without looking at the caller ID Rachel answered the phone.
"Rachie! You never called me to tell me that you got the part"
Rachel could hear the blonde pouting through the phone "Brittany I'm so sorry, It's not that I forgot, It's that I wanted to tell you in person when you get back here in a few days!" Rachel tried to save herself.
"Oh okay! Lord Tubbington is super proud of you, and so is Sanny but she can't talk right now because we're having sexy times"
Rachel's face became bright red at the thought "BRITTyouCAN'Tcallmewhenyourdoingthatstuff! Call you later! BYE!" Rachel hung up the phone without taking a second breath causing Quinn to burst out laughing, Rachel scowled at the girl before going back to her spot on the breakfast bar while Quinn returned to dinner.
The next day Rachel got up and did her usual 45minute work out on her elliptical before hoping in the shower. After making sure her make-up and hair where acceptable she began planning her outfit for the day, she decided on a simple pair of black skinny jeans and a red pussybow blouse with a pair of red ballet flats. Grabbing her phone and keys Rachel threw them in her bag and walked out of the house, getting downstairs she smiled at the doorman Henry who got up to call her a cab.
"No worries Henry I'm walking today" Rachel smiled before waving at the old man, closing the door as she went. Walking down the street toward Broadway Rachel hummed a familiar tune, once she reached her destination she pushed the door open, the smell of fresh brewing coffee hit her fast but also invited her in.
Emily Stonëm waved her hand as soon as she saw the petite brunette walk into the bustling café, watching the girl approach she was still happy with her casting choice.
"Morning Rachel" Emily stood up and shook the girls hand.
"Good Morning Emily, I just want to say thank you again" Rachel smiled.
"Honestly, thank you for attending the audition, your talent is amazing" she watched the girl blush and smiled. "So, what would you like?" She asked Rachel whilst flagging down a waitress.
"I'll have a black coffee, 2 sugars please" Rachel asked when the waitress arrived.
When both coffee's arrived Emily began to describe to Rachel how the project would work. "Obviously we still are looking for a few cast members including your male lead, however we have a few men auditioning today, so we would love if you would come and read with them during the audition" Rachel nodded "We're very excited to be able to open such a great show especially since there wanting to bring it back to Broadway" Rachel nodded again "As you know its going to be rehearsed and performed at New World Stages, and hopefully after maybe a 5-6month run we are going to move to Broadway, and yes we have made sure to get an understudy for the 3-4 weeks of your wedding." Emily smiled at the girl.
"Wow, it sounds like such a brilliant project, I'm so excited to be playing this role and having the opportunity to be in a show like this is such an amazing one." Rachel gushed.
"Well would you like to make our way to the theatre so we can begin to audition your love interest Miss Berry?" Emily asked.
Rachel nodded before pulling out her purse, however Emily stopped her.
"Its on the production costs"
