CHAPTER TWO
Later that night when Kurt and Rachel came home, Santana welcomed them home with a box of pizza; an empty box of pizza.
"Really Satan? You couldn't have left at least two slices?" Kurt shrieked.
"I tried, but I needed to get my grub on. Besides, maybe if you didn't take so long to get home then there would be some left for you."
"By the remains in the box it looks as if this pizza was pepperoni and I'm a vegetarian so I wouldn't have been able to eat it anyways," Rachel said as she grabbed some vegetable soup for Kurt and herself.
"Good work Rizzoli, now you and Isles can stop yapping my ear off." Santana said throwing the empty pizza box away. "How about I treat you musical fiends to a lovely viewing of Chicago on pay-per-view?"
"That's very nice of you Santana," Rachel said.
"Yeah, a little too nice." Kurt said glancing at Santana skeptically.
"Just bring your soup in the living room and I'll start the movie."
When the movie ended, Kurt decided he needed to head to bed for some beauty sleep, which left Santana and Rachel for some girl-talk.
"So Berry, you still keeping Ms. July's bed warm? I never thought you were the Golden Girls type, but hey, if you like that stuff," Santana finished with a shrug.
"First of all, Cassie is not that much older than me. There's only a nine-year age difference, which happens to be less than Jay Z and Beyoncé. Second, I hardly think my love life is any of your business," at this point Rachel was furiously blushing.
"Did you just use the L word? Wow Rach, this must be pretty serious." Santana was intentionally prying so she could know what Rachel's relationship status was.
"It's not really that serious we've just had sex a couple of times, that's it. I mean she does inappropriately touch me while 'teaching' me new dance moves and shamelessly flirts with me, but we've haven't actually slept together in over a month."
"Wow Berry, I didn't know you had it in ya!" Santana said playfully nudging Rachel with her shoulder.
Rachel giggled and shoved the taller girl back, "Oh please, San you're like the biggest player of us all. When's the last time you got your Mack on?"
"That's none of your business," Santana said dismissively. Truth was, Santana hadn't had sex since she slept with Quinn and that was six months ago.
Rachel noticed the hurt in Santana's eyes so she put a comforting hand on the girl's knee, "San, what's going on with you?"
Although they fought a lot, Rachel and Santana really cared about each other and considered themselves best friends.
Santana shook her head escaping her thoughts about Quinn, "It's nothing, I'm okay" she finished with a sad smile.
"Well okay. Hey, how about we sleep out here on the couch and watch 'Mamma Mia' what do you say?"
"I guess that doesn't sound too bad."
"Yay!" Rachel started clapping and smiling then went to go get the movie for them to watch.
When Rachel came back she had a blanket for her and Santana to share. Santana hit play and the smaller girl cuddled into her side. Santana rested her head on top of Rachel's as they started watching the movie. Santana's phone started vibrating on the coffee table right as both girls were dozing off. Santana reached over Rachel to see who texted her.
"Is it Quinn?" Rachel asked with her eyes closed and her head still nuzzled in Santana's neck.
"Uh yeah, she said she got an earlier train and will get here around 9am."
"That's great! Now Kurt and I can go with you to pick her up from the train station."
Santana was a little disappointed to be honest. She wanted to have those few hours with Quinn one on one. Rachel jumped when her phone vibrated in the pocket of her pajama pants. Santana tried to sneak a glance at Rachel's phone to see if Quinn texted her as well. "Uh, w-who is it?" Santana tried to casually ask.
"Its just Cassie." Rachel said putting her phone on the arm of the couch.
"What's she doing texting you at two in the morning?" Santana asked seriously. After she thought about it for a second it finally dwelled on her, "Oh my God. It's a booty call, isn't it?" Santana sat up so she could look Rachel in her eyes.
Rachel kept her eyes on the soft blanket in front of her, slowly stroking the fabric with her fingers. Rachel's eyes started watering and she was struggling to hold back tears.
"Rachel, you don't deserve to just be her go-to girl when she's horny," Santana said scooting closer to Rachel and wrapping her arms around her.
"You don't think I know that? I guess I just thought being her booty call was better than not being with her at all, you know?"
"Yeah I understand." Santana really did understand. That's how she felt with Quinn. Santana knew that Rachel deserved better and she cared about Quinn's happiness, so she decided to do something absolutely crazy. Santana moved her arms from around Rachel and looked her in the eyes, "Rach, you are drop-dead gorgeous and any girl would be lucky to have you as more than just their booty call. You got a thing for blondes, huh?"
Rachel was blushing and put her head down in embarrassment, "Thanks San, but what do you mean blondes?"
Santana took a deep breath so she wouldn't lose the nerve to help two of her closest friends, "I mean everyone and their mother knows you have a think for Q."
"W-W-What are you talking about? That is absurd!" Rachel shot up and was stammering nervously.
"If your reaction to my suggestion isn't enough of a clue, your obvious fawning over her all four years of High School is."
"Well anyone can see how beautiful Quinn is and she really does have the purest heart and after all she's been through she's still so successful."
Santana saw the admiration and love in Rachel's eyes and knew she was doing the right thing when she says, "Well I know that she really likes you, Rach."
"You can't be serious. I can't believe you would so cruel to try to get my hopes up just so I could get rejected and Quinn and I's friendship would be ruined! That's low, Santana; even for you." Rachel ripped off the blanket covering their legs and quickly stomped off to her room.
At least Santana knew for sure that Rachel and Quinn felt the same way about each other. Now all she had to do was wait for Quinn to make a move. Santana didn't know how it would change her and Quinn's dynamic and she was honestly terrified to find out.
On the Train; Quinn POV…
I can't even sleep on this train ride because I'm so excited to see Rachel and Santana. Oh and I also want to see Kurt, but mainly Rachel and Santana. My plan was to take Rachel to a restaurant with primarily vegetarian options, then take a walk around central park and I'd stop at one of the benches and ask her to sit with me. Then, I'd take her hands in mine and tell her how I feel. I'm getting so nervous just thinking about it. I lied my head down on the cold window of the train when I saw I had a text from Santana,
San: Don't worry Q, Berry likes you too.
What the hell is she talking about?
Q: What the hell are you talking about?
San: I just talked to her. I swear she likes you back
I couldn't close my mouth in shock. This is unbelievable. The feeling in my heart right now is almost too much to bear. I was lost in the excitement when I felt moisture on my cheek. Oh my gosh I'm actually crying right now. I almost forgot to text Santana back.
Q: I swear San, I love you so much! Thank you :)
San: No problems Q. love you too.
Normal POV
Quinn didn't think anything of Santana's short reply and decided to send a quick text to Rachel.
Quinn: Can't wait to see you in a few hours. I hope this text doesn't wake you up. Sweet dreams, beautiful Xx
Quinn read over the text after she sent it and thought maybe it was a little too much. She rested her head back against the window and had a death grip on her phone, hoping Rachel wasn't asleep so she would text back.
Rachel: No worries I was already awake. I can't sleep because I'm so excited to see you tomorrow :). P.s you're the beautiful one xx.
Quinn started happily dancing in her seat ignoring the questioning looks she was receiving. She couldn't believe Rachel called her beautiful and sent kisses back!
Quinn: Thanks for making me blush like a little girl :p
Rach: Anytime Fabray ;)
Quinn thought she was going to pass out when she received the winky face. She really couldn't wait to finally be with Rachel.
