22 July 2013: Edited this chapter again more thoroughly where it should flow better now.
A/N: First I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day the other weekend. My own mother dragged me all over Texas that weekend because she wanted to stretch her Mother's Day into an entire weekend. Second, I sincerely apologize for the major delay. I was expecting to have this done like three Tuesdays ago, but between the constant interruptions from family members(of ALL ages) and the major fact I get easily distracted & lose focus has pushed this a lot of days behind. I did however make this longer than I intended it to be to make up for the delay. Next, I want to thank everyone for the reviews, favorites, and follows. This story truly means so much to me. Ok without any more delay here's Chapter 2.
I definitely do not own the show Glee, the songs, or universities...though it would be nice if I did because I'd be debt free and rolling around in money ;-)
Chapter 2: Clubs & Movie Nights
Santana's POV
Only a couple more hours before movie night. A night in before classes resume with the besties/roommates is a much needed event. It has been a nice day at work so far, even though it has been extremely busy. Tina won't be in to work for another hour; she was scheduled for the later shift. The current waiters and waitresses on shift are Fiona, Whitney, Anthony, Vincent, and Mercedes. Out of all of them you would say you're the closest to Mercedes Jones. Tina will always be your numero uno at work, but Cedes is definitely number two in your book.
Mercedes and you actually met here at work. You became cool with each other when you both realized the other can take an insult and dish it out quickly without any hard feelings. After that day everything fell into easy stride with your friendship. Once you found out where she is from, her attitude and how she carries herself made some sense.
She is from Pennsylvania specifically Allentown, which is about 50 minutes outside of Philly. Most people wouldn't know about Allentown, but you on the other hand do since your home state is her next door neighbor. You and Quinn grew up together in Hillside, New Jersey. It's less than 90 minutes from Hillside to Allentown. A few times you have made it down there in about an hour because yes you just LOVE to drive fast. Allentown has its own amusement and waterpark all rolled into one. You and Quinn have been going there a few times every summer since you were five years old. Good ol' Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom. You only went there once this summer. You, Quinn, and Mercedes made Kurt, Blaine, Tina, and Sam go with you guys since they had never been let alone heard of the park with the exception of Tina who had knew about, but just never been there. They all had fun of course, even Kurt who bitched and moaned the entire 4 plus hour drive there.
Now Sam Evans is Mercedes' boyfriend. He is an extremely Country White boy from Tennessee. The two met their sophomore year at Howard University. At first when Cedes told you they both go to Howard, you were a little surprised. Howard University is a HBCU (Historically Black College & University). Now it wasn't the fact that Sam is White going to a Black University that surprised you, it was mainly because he is a farm boy from Tennessee. Once you got to know him you could see why he chose Howard. Now another BIG factor about Sam is the fact he has these King Kong sized lips. You have honestly never seen lips that big before and you knew that potential friend or not, you were not passing on the perfect insult opportunity. You had gone through tons of insulting lip names, but you liked Trouty Mouth the best, so that's what you have been calling him since.
The door swings open breaking you from your past thoughts to see one of the key figures you were thinking about walk in. "Hey Wendy" you say with a smirk.
Mercedes just shakes her head at you and says "you know she is actually from your home state right dork?"
You look up for a split second then shrug "Whatever. Anyways your order is ready" and you lift your chin towards your left to point out the food waiting to be served.
She says "alright" but just looks at you for a minute like she is debating to say something to you. You raise your eyebrow towards her and give her that look that says just spit out whatever the hell you want to say. "Okay okay. I was thinking about whether I should ask you if I should pick up any extra tickets for the HU vs. HU game. I remember the last time you came to one of our games and how you almost got into a fight" she says.
You smirk at her remembering the almost epic you fight you got into with the other team's spectators. Quinn had to threaten you with revoking your "rights" to her employee discount for you to stop you from continuing the rapidly increasing heated argument. You look at Mercedes for a second before you tell her "Look, you know them assholes started it and I was just defending our team."
Mercedes laughs at you then proceeds to say "You don't even go to Howard so explain to me how it is OUR TEAM?"
"Whatever. Your school's football team does suck ass, BUT as long as they still have that AMAZING band, cheerleaders, and color guard they will forever be my team. Not to mention the FOOD is so damn GOOD! Like I can get my eatz on while watching them hotties do flips and splits. Best combo EVER!" Mercedes laughs even harder at your little rant while shaking her head. You were only telling her the truth though. Football games at Georgetown royally suck in comparison to Howard. "Mercedes, I promise to TRY to control my rage issues. So yes please can you and Trouty pick up **you pause to mentally count how many extra tickets would be needed** 5 extra tickets? I'll give you the money once I'm off the clock" you tell her.
She smiles at you and says sure then passes you an order. You take the order and nod at her. She then grabs her ready order and heads back out into the dining area. Once again you think about how fortunate you are to have met her.
You look at the clock and see its 4:30. Only 90 more minutes before you get to head home to your Cold Stone ice cream. You start daydreaming about how you can't wait to have that oh so deliciously yummy goodness in your mouth...Wanky, when your ace boon coon comes strolling into the kitchen smiling this megawatt smile at you. He pauses for a second while tilting his head slightly to the right, then his smile gets impossibly bigger, and focuses his eyes on you. You are trying to figure out what and why the hell does he have that damn face busting smile on, while he comes walking towards you with this determined look. You put down your cooking utensils just to be on the safe side because you never know with him. When he gets to you, he reaches over you grabbing the remote to the speakers turning them up. Before you can fully process what song is playing he has already put the remote down and grabs your hand, spinning your body into him. He looks into your eyes, smirks, then opens his mouth and starts singing.
[Vincent:]
En un llano tan inmenso
tan inmenso como el cielo
voy a podar un jardin
para que duerma tu cuerpo
After listening to those few lines it hits you like you ran into a brick wall. Holy Shit how could you not realize it was Marc Anthony and La India playing. You should have known just from Vincent's big ass cheesy smile.
en un mar espeso y ancho
mas ancho que el universo
He spins you back out and brings you right back to him, then grabs your other hand in his. Whelp looks like you about to get your duet on with your lezbro.
voy a construir un barco
para que nade en el sueño
He starts leading you around the kitchen right as you are about to start singing.
[You:]
En un universo negro
como el ebano mas puro
voy a construir de blanco
nuestro amor para el futuro
en una noche cerrada
voy a detener el tiempo
para soñar a tu lado
que nuestro amor es eterno
He stops your dancing for a second right before you both start to sing together.
[Us:]
Y volar, volar tan lejos
He resumes leading you around throwing in spins and turns. You love moments like this. He has honestly been the only one of your friends down here that knows how to lead you around when it comes to Spanish music.[Vincent:]
Donde nadie nos obstruya
el pensamiento
volar, volar sin miedo
como palomas libres, tan libres como el viento
[Us:]
Y vivir, vivir lo nuestro
[You:]
Y amarnos hasta quedar sin aliento
soñar, soñar despiertos
[Vincent:]
En un mundo sin razas
sin colores, ni lamentos
[Us:]
Sin nadie que se oponga
en tu y yo nos amemos
Since you really don't have to pay full attention to the food at this moment you happen to be fully engaged in singing and dancing with your bro. And since you haven't been paying attention you didn't realize you two have procured an audience now.
[Vincent:]
Desde una montana alta
alta como las estrellas
voy a gritar que te quiero
para que el mundo lo sepa
que somos uno del otro
y jamas nos dejaremos
y aunque nadie nos entienda
por nuestro amor viviremos
[Chorus:]
soñar despiertos
vivir lo nuestro...
[You:]
Voy a detener el tiempo
y mantener a mi lado
nuestro amor que es sagrado
[Repeat Chorus][Vincent:]
Solo vivire lo nuestro y amarnos
hasta quedar sin aliento
[Repeat Chorus][You:]
Volar tan lejos
como palomas libres
tan libres como el viento
Still in your own little bubble with Vincent singing and dancing around, you both haven't realized your audience has grown some, along with phones out recording everything.[Repeat Chorus]
[Vincent:]
Voy a gritar que yo te quiero
para que el mundo ya sepa
que yo te amo
sin ti me desespero...
[You:]
La, la, la, la,la
[Repeat Chorus][Vincent:]
Ahhhhhhh! Vivir lo nuestro
[Repeat Chorus][Vincent:]
Dejame, dejame amarte
hasta quedar sin aliento...
[Repeat Chorus][You:]
Vamos a vivir un sueño...
He ends your dancing by dipping you while finish singing the last note. Next thing you hear is whistle noises and clapping. He pulls you back up to a standing position and you both look towards the door. You see Tina, Mercedes, and Anthony at the door smirking at you and Vincent while still clapping. Vincent recovers first laughing out loud then pulls you into a side hug and says to you "Thanks for the dance" then plants an embarrassingly loud and wet sounding kiss to the top of your head.
You push him away from you and punch him in the arm. "Gross. I don't want your puppy wet kisses bro."
He shakes his head and laughs at you before saying "That was fun, but need to go check on my customers now. See you in a bit." Anthony and Mercedes head back out to the dining area as well, after Anthony grabs one of his tables their appetizer.
Tina strolls further into the kitchen, while you go back to what you were preparing and making a few minutes ago before your song and dance interlude. "What song was that you and Vincent were singing" Tina asks you. "
It's Vivir Lo Nuestro by Marc Anthony featuring La India you tell her with a small smile on your face. Just thinking about the song always gives you these oh so good feels. You never understood why you feel such a connection to the song, but you love the fact you aren't the only one who has this unexplainable connection to it because Vincent does as well. Just one of the few reasons he is your lezbro.
Tina disrupts your thinking and states "I never knew Vincent could sing and dance to Spanish music like that." You chuckle some while continuing making the food.
You glance at her before saying "He's half Dominican, half Italian. His mom is the one is Dominican. That's why he can speak the language fluently and dance like it's nobody's business."
Tina throws you a smile. "If I didn't already know you were a lady lover and I would say you two would make an awesome couple. I mean you two had all this chemistry floating around the entire kitchen. I actually told Mercedes to come watch because neither of you were paying attention to anything else going on" she tells you with a little laugh.
You just shake your head at her. "Whatever Tina. We have been lezbros for a long time now and this wasn't the first impromptu dance we've done together. He's been my dance partner at a few Spanish clubs that it's become second nature to dance like so. Shoot him dancing like we're together has kept all the trolls away that used to approach me in the beginning. That's why we are so in-tune with each other's moves."
You look up at the clock and see it's almost 5:00. You go back to focusing on getting these two orders done, but then turn back to Tina real quick and quirk your eyebrow at her. "Ummm Girl Chang why are the heck are you here so early? Not that I'm complaining, but you are never here more than 15 minutes prior to your shift. And if I include our little convo here and you watching my little performance you are like a good 45 minutes before your shift."
Tina smiles at you and simply states "Got bored so I figured I'd come in early to keep you company for a bit. And I'm totally glad that I did because I would have never gotten to record your duet with Vincent."
You nod in acknowledgement because you are finishing up these orders, before your head snaps in her direction with your eyes narrowed at her. "You recorded us singing and dancing around the kitchen" you questioned her in an elevated tone.
She smirks at you and says "Sure did and sent it to Quinn, Kurt, and Blaine."
You look at her in disbelief. "Damn you Mulan! You know them bitches are going to use that shit against me as blackmail in the future."
"Yup yup yup. We have to have SOMETHING to keep your behind in check, ESPECIALLY with the semester starting back up" Tina says this to you and throws a wink at you.
You laugh at her behind that and just shake your head. You actually aren't embarrassed about her recording the impromptu performance with your dude. You already know that you have some pipes on you and can dance your ass off ESPECIALLY to Salsa, Merengue, and Bachata. You just like making a fuss about shit.
Tina is now playing that 4 pictures, 1 word game called What's the Word? and has enlisted my help while I'm working on the orders. You know you suck at games like this if you aren't focusing solely on it. Tina tells you the four pictures on that are up now. You honestly can't think of what the damn word is. You continue to wrack your brain when Jo Jo come strutting in. Your eyes trail over her body to see what she is wearing.
"Hey" she says to the both of you with her eyes lingering on for a bit. She shakes out of her leering at you and glances between you and Tina and says "What's up".
Tina pauses looking between the two of you for a second before saying "Hey Jocelyn. Just playing What's the Word? with Santana before my shift starts."
Jocelyn says to Tina "oh I love the game", but is looking you up and down the whole time.
You continue with the food and try to ignore Jo Jo's leering. Jocelyn Fernandes, beautiful 24 year old bisexual Portuguese woman, who has wanted your cinnamon roll since the day she saw you. The thing nobody knows besides Vincent is that she did get your cinnamon roll and more than once at that. He only knows because she was at the same club as the two of you one time and she kept giving you drinks all night, then at some point after you were good and tipsy he caught you and Jo Jo making out on the dance floor. You never wanted to hook up with a coworker, but you did and now you find her always leering at you any chance she gets.
You glance at Tina and see she has her analyzing face on while looking back and forth between you and Jocelyn. Shit, if Jo Jo doesn't get ahold of her leering she's going to spill the beans without realizing it. You look at the time and see its 5:20 now and see an opening to get Tina out of the kitchen before confirming anything. "Hey Tina." She gives you her full attention after you say her name. "Its 5:20 now. Your shift is about to start soon."
She looks between the two of you one more time before looking back to you and saying "Yeah. Right. Come talk to me before you leave okay?"
You look at her and nod "Okay" you say. Tina leaves and now it is just you and Jo Jo.
Jo Jo has gone back to her predatory leering at you. Even though she was awesome in bed every single time, chick is a little too possessive for you liking. You are also not looking for a relationship right now and she is. You sigh and look at her because she is STILL staring at you more specifically; she is staring at the girls Carmen and Vanessa. You clear your throat loudly trying to grab her attention, which you do after the third time. "You know you may want to start getting ready because you start in 5 minutes." She looks up at your face after you tell her this and when you go to turn back to finishing up an appetizer, she has moved into your personal bubble and places a small kiss to your temple, before continuing on to get changed.
Before she walks to far off you tell her "Jocelyn you really need to stop all of that while we are working. You know how I feel about everything." You see something flash across her face, but you are unsure of what it was because she didn't linger long after that and continued on to get changed. Only 30 more minutes before you can go home to your much needed ice cream.
Brittany's POV
You are in the kitchen still in just a beater and boy shorts making a few grilled cheese sandwiches. Jake, Puck, and you have been lounging around all day since you guys woke up. Mike joined in on the lounging around once he got back home from his 08:30 class. The boys decided on hitting up a club tonight. They suggested one of your usual spots because they don't check your IDs anymore since you go so often. Even if they did check IDs, Mike and Puck are over 21, so they would just buy yours and Jake's drinks. You hear the sizzle of the cheese that is oozing out the middle of the sandwich, rolling down the side of the bread and onto the pan. You have been in the kitchen for a while now. You originally came in here to make yourself a couple of sandwiches, so you would have something on your stomach for when you get your drink, but now you are pretty much using the entire loaf to make everybody grilled cheese. It's all Jake's fault. If his ass didn't come in here for some juice and saw what you were doing you would have gotten away with making just your sandwiches, but no such luck. If you didn't love them fools so much you would have told them to fuck off.
A loaf and a half later you're done making the sandwiches. You bring two fingers up to mouth and whistle for the boys. You put your plate with your sandwiches on it to the side, while you hear what sounds like a stampede coming from your living room and making its way to your kitchen. Mike somehow managed to get to the kitchen first with Jake and Puck not trailing far behind him. You lean against the counter nibbling on one of your sandwiches and watch the boys piling sandwiches on their plates.
Mike passing you on the way out the kitchen and gives you a peck on the forehead then tells you thank you. Jake follows behind Mike and does the same, but instead pecks your cheek. You stand straight up grabbing your plate to head into the living room with the boys, when Puck comes up behind you and slaps you on the ass with a smirk on his face he says "Thanks." You turn slightly to your left and with your right hand you punch him dead in the chest. He somehow manages to not drop his plate, but he does rub at the spot on his chest where you punched him. "Damn Britt. No need for Sonya to make an appearance" he says.
You raise your brow to that. "You know damn well Noah that was not Sonya making an appearance. I barely tapped you, you crybaby" you say with a smirk crossing your lips while you continue on into the living room.
You're sitting between Jake and Mike on the sofa watching Swamp People because the boys love this damn show. There has been a marathon on all day and the worse part about it is that you all have already seen all these episodes. Puck and Jake always said you can never get bored watching them country folks wrastling alligators. You love giving them hell about always watching this show whenever it is on, but deep down you don't really mind because you love the show too. After you have finished your food and placed your plate on the coffee table you check the time on the DVR box. You see it's only 08:00 PM and you figured you'd start getting ready for the club in 30 minutes. With that plan in mind you lean over and rest your head on Mike's shoulder. You feel more than you see Mike placing his plate on the side table next to him, then him throwing his arm around you so you can lean into him more.
You are not the real affectionate type of person, but you do let the boys and your family see this side of you though. It's actually pretty funny to you that all four of you have badass I don't give a fuck kind of attitudes towards almost every other person outside of your circle. Jake is the softie per say of the four, but you have a feeling it has more so to do with his fiancé. She has definitely been a positive addition to Jake's life and it's truly nice to have another female around at times especially when you have to deal with these baboons on a daily basis.
You check the time again and see only 15 minutes have passed. You decide to say fuck it and just go get ready now. You sit up off of Mike and get of the sofa. The boys look at you briefly before turning back to the TV, as you are about to head up the stairs you hear Puck shout "Don't go swimming in the shower." You smirk to yourself because you know it's true you do tend to use up the hot water at the most inconvenient times and usually Puck is left taking a cold shower.
40 minutes later
You are standing in only your towel staring at the clothes in your closet debating on what to wear. You know you aren't in the mood to wear a skirt or even a dress tonight. You grab a couple of tops and a couple pairs of pants and throw them on the bed.
You don't know how long you have been staring between the different outfits, but next thing you know Puck comes barging into your room. You turn to look at him for a second before returning your gaze to your clothes. Puck walks further into your room to stand next to you. He then asks "Have you seen my black and grey boxer briefs? I can't find them anywhere and I don't really feel like wearing these Koala boxers that you had bought for me."
You look back at him and down to the boxers he is wearing. You smirk to yourself because you had gotten him those as a gag birthday gift on his last birthday and he only wears them when he needs to wash clothes. "Nope, but maybe you should go commando because those things won't get you laid" you say while chuckling some.
Puck huffs then says "True true". He turns to leave, but then throws over his shoulder "Black leather pants with the dark green top" as he walks out the door.
You look back at your bed at the clothes he said and nod. Puck has always been helpful in the wardrobe department for you. You know it's because you would always drag his ass with you whenever you would go shopping for pretty much any and everything from lingerie to basketball shorts. You never really figured out why he didn't ever put up much of a fight like most guys usually would. You grab up all the other clothes and hang them back up. You head over to your dresser to grab a set. You decide on a black lacy bra and boy shorts set. You put them on and drop your towel. You head into your en suite bathroom because yes you got the master bedroom in the house. You fix your hair into a high ponytail with side bangs because it's easier to deal with in a hot, sweaty club. Once you finish you put on your clothes then apply some light makeup on. You grab your black boots and head downstairs.
You see the guys sitting in living room ready to go once you make it down the stairs. You lean against the wall and put on your boots. You grab your purse and pull out some money and your id tucking them into your bra. Puck and the boys stand up and you all head towards the door.
Mike locks up the house and you all jump into Puck's Dark Green Hummer. You sit up front with Puck while Jake and Mike are in the back. "Yo bro don't forget LeLe is at the Cafe and not her house" Jake tells Puck.
"Aight aight I got you" replies Puck. You look at the dashboard and figure you guys would get to DuPont Circle by 10:30ish.
37 minutes later
Puck pulls up in front of La Riza Cafe. Jake hops out and strides into the Cafe. A couple minutes later they walk out and you hop out of the truck real quick to give LeLe a hug. You've known each other for about 3 years now and she is the pure definition of a hugger. Jake and Marley, who was dubbed with the nickname LeLe by Puck, have been together for 3.5 years now. You and Puck knew Jake was serious about her because after 6 months of them dating he formally introduced her to you two over dinner. She is one of the sweetest girls you have ever met and it's funny to you to see how she turns Jake into mush whenever they are together. To the outsider looking in, they would be scratching their heads trying to figure out how she fits in with the four of you especially when you all go out to the clubs, but homegirl doesn't scare easily and actually LOVES going to the clubs with yall. You actually remember the first time Jake said she was coming with yall to the club. You, Puck, and Mike shared a skeptical look because her personality is not one you would think would go to the clubs they go to, but of course she proved you all wrong. Now that you guys are back in the truck after hugging, you are all on your way to 973 on U Street.
As Puck makes his way through Saturday night DC traffic you turn slightly around so you can see LeLe. "You ready to start back on Monday" you ask her.
She nods her head and replies "yeah. I kind of miss being in the dorms and I will be a RA this year so room and board is free."
You both go to GW together, but she is a grade behind you. You love the fact she stays in the dorms because you have somewhere to take a nap between classes if you need to. And now that she will have a private dorm it's even better because she won't have Nadia as her roommate again. Yeah, Nadia is one of them clingy stalkerish chicks. You made the mistake of sleeping with her last year and even when you told her it was a one-time thing, she still stole your number out of Marley's phone and was blowing you up. You never went back to Marley's dorm for the rest of the year and you blocked her number.
You are pulled from your thoughts about Nadia when you are coming to a stop outside of the valet parking. No matter which club you go to in DC you always have to get valet parking because all the early birds got the free street parking. You all get out of the truck and start to walk over to the club after Puck receives his parking ticket from the valet. You see that there is a long line to get in, but because of how often you all come you never have to wait in line. Also helps that the guy at the door went to high school with you and Puck.
Before you guys reach the door, Xander sees you coming and is unlatching the rope. He gives all of a head nod in acknowledgement because he has to portray a hard exterior when it comes to this crowd of attendees. Funny thing is under all that muscle is the biggest cuddly bear that you have ever met. He has a 4 year old daughter who has him wrapped around her little fingers and his wife Gina is a sweet, but feisty woman.
Once inside all of you head to the bar on the second floor. LeLe is playing DD tonight like usual. She only ever has 2 to 3 drinks at most in the beginning of the night and is always completely sober by the time you all leave.
You wave the bartender down because you always get noticed quickly whether it is a male or female behind the bar. You notice as they approach that it is Sasha. You of course have hooked up with Sasha on numerous occasions. She is kind of your fall back go to piece, if you don't find anyone male or female worthy to sleep with. Tonight will be no different. Sasha slides up to you while bearing the enthusiastic smile on her face. "Hey Brittany, the usual for you guys" she asks.
"Sup Sasha and yeah the usual. You know we don't ever stray from what we know" you say to her.
Truth is you guys do experiment when Puck throws a party at the house, but you guys never risk such in public. Sasha starts making the drinks, but every so often looks up and throws you a flirtatious look. You simply smirk at her. Once she's done there are 8 shots of Tequila, 1 Blue Motorcycle, 3 Jag Bombs, and a Sex on the Beach. You and the boys polish off the shots first and quickly while Marley grabs her Sex on the Beach. The rest of you grab your drinks and leave the bar. The drinks always go on one tab because it is so much easier to keep track of.
Mike leads the way to the VIP section because being frequent flyers has its perks. By the time you reach the VIP area you see that Puck went MIA already. The rest of you find a booth to sit in and start conversing while drinking. After about 15 minutes and ¾ of your drink is gone does Puck decide to make a reappearance.
"Yo we have got to go up to the fourth floor. There are some MAJOR hotties up there" Puck tells you and Mike.
"So why did you come back down here if there are that many hotties" Mike asks Puck.
"I needed another drink and since Sasha is down here with the tab, it's just easier plus wanted to grab my wingmen" Puck replies.
You just shake your head and turn to Mike. You give him the look and he nods then you two take the rest of your drinks to the head. You place the glasses on the table and get up. You look over at the lovebirds and ask if they are coming.
Jake says yes so you all head up to the Reggae floor. This club has 7 floors and a different genre of music on 5 of the floors. The other 2 floors are Old Skool music on the 1st floor and a variety/blend of genres on the 7th floor.
After making a short detour to the bar, all of you make it to the 4th floor. You hear Lil' Vicious' song Freaks coming through the speakers, so you grab Mike by his tie pulling him out onto the dance floor. Jake and Marley are trailing behind you two and of course Puck has wandered off again.
You like dancing with Mike and even Jake a lot. You don't dance with Jake too much anymore because you know he prefers dancing with his woman. Marley is a pretty decent dancer especially since she hasn't had any true training. She has actually gotten even better over the years of being with Jake. I also think it has something to do with him popping her cherry and being sexually active. It really loosened the girl up...a lot. You actually know exactly when it occurred because it happened in your house in your guest room. She did eventually talk to you about all of it because she had become really close to you and you would listen to her without judgment. After the talk you made Puck start making sure the guest room was stocked with condoms on a regular basis until Marley was on the pill for a number of months.
While dancing with Mike, you watch how they move with each other. They are so in tune with each other and it is pretty amazing to watch. Mike and you are extremely in tune with each other, but not on the same level as Jake and Marley. Part of you is slightly envious of such, but you would never admit such to any of them. You'd rather eat something off of Fear Factor before admitting that shit.
After a couple of songs pass, Mike and Jake go to get you guys some more drinks leaving you and Marley on the dance floor. You are innocently dancing and goofing off with Marley when you spot a couple of girls checking you out. One of them is seriously hot and could definitely be a potential for tonight. You look at LeLe and raise your eyebrows while subtlety throwing your head to the left.
She catches on and chuckles some at you. "I swear I don't know why Jake and I play along with your games. You are so lucky we are secure in our relationship and that we love you because I don't know many straight girls in relationships who would do such" LeLe tells you.
"I know and this is why I love you two so much. I promise I'll keep it toned down. This one doesn't look like she needs much of a show plus Jake and Mike will be back soon with our drinks" you reply.
Murder She Wrote by Chaka Demus & Pliers comes on next and you smirk to yourself knowing this will be a piece of cake. You slide around LeLe dragging your a finger of your right hand up her left arm. You settle behind her and place your hands gently on her hips. You start guiding her along. You look up at your potential and see you have her attention still. You start moving your hands very slowly up LeLe's sides and back down past her hips and onto her thighs. You hide your face real quick because this shit is too funny how easily this potential is obviously getting worked up.
LeLe turns her head to the right slightly and says "I can't believe how you can get these females damn near eating out of the palm of your hand by dancing with another female. This is freaking ridiculous. Oh...you got about 45 seconds to drop your last move because I see the boys."
You chuckle slightly and say "With your head turned this way from talking, you actually put the cherry on top." You wink at her and plop a kiss to her cheek right before Jake hands the drink to her, while Mike does the same with yours.
You thank Mike and toss your head over to look at the girl. You see her still looking your way. Yup she's definitely yours tonight.
You look to Mike and toss your head slightly in the direction of the chick. He looks and nods his head. He tells Jake and Marley that you'll be over there getting some new dance partners. Jake laughs and says aight, while Marley just shakes her head with a small smile on her face. You and Mike head over to the girls. The potential looks away when she realizes you are heading her way.
Before you get there you see her whisper to her friend and you simply smirk at Mike. You both reach the girls and simply hold out your hands. The other girl didn't miss a beat grabbing Mike's hand as he leads her onto the floor.
Your girl hesitates slightly and asks "What's your name?" You just look at your hand and back at her while lifting an eyebrow. She looks like she's weighing her options, but eventually she grabs your hand.
You lead her to another area away from Jake, Marley, Mike, and this chick's friend. You grab her hips and spin her around to where her ass is up against you. You start a slow grind into her. After a couple minutes at this pace, you lean towards her and whisper your name into her ear. You feel her shudder from the whisper.
After another minute to compose herself a little bit, she turns her head to the side. "Kendra" she says.
After a few songs you feel she has loosened up a lot and you noticed she isn't a bad dancer. She has been grabbing at the back of your neck and it has been putting a little extra umph into her grinding. You figured she must have hit her limit because she spins around and leans up to whisper in your ear. "How about we go back to your place" she says.
You looked down at her with a smirk plastered across your face because you just knew she wouldn't be able to resist you even though she seems to not register on your gaydar. You really don't care because she won't be the first straight girl you make scream your name.
You throw your head slightly towards the door and grabs her hand to head in that direction. You catch Mike, Jake, and LeLe's eyes and chuck them the deuces. You see Jake and LeLe laughing at you, but you see Mike throwing you a wink and you know he will also be bringing the friend home tonight. You lead her out of 973 then she takes over and leads you to her car.
Santana's POV
Sunday afternoon
It's less than 24 hours before the semester resumes. You look at your phone and see it is already 1:30 in the afternoon. You decide it's time to roll your ass out of bed and head out amongst the living.
You reach the kitchen and see Kurt is still in his traditional onesie footie pajamas. He honestly has no shame, but you can't help but think that is why you love him so much. He is brewing a fresh batch of coffee. You see he hasn't grabbed the mugs, so you take out 3 because you know Q will be in here as soon as the coffee scent makes its way towards her nostrils. Once the coffee is done brewing Kurt pours coffee into all 3 mugs and then you take over. Not even 30 seconds later Q comes shuffling in from the living room. She grabs her mug and shuffles back out the kitchen.
Before she gets out of the kitchen you see Fuego waiting patiently for her to come out of the kitchen. You swear that damn dog loves her more than you, which may be true because on weekends and during the summer she lets him sleep in her room. She does make sure to put on his doggie diaper first though because he's still skittish and that causes him to have some leakage at times. She even made him this big ass pillow for him to sleep on. She turns the corner and you see him right on her heels. You simply shake your head. It warms your heart that he's so affectionate towards her the most even though he is yours. You still have Daemyn at least.
Daemyn doesn't have a designated or preferred room he likes to sleep in, but he does stay out of Q's room. It seems he likes to roam the house at night, but does eventually end up in either Kurt's room or yours. Kurt made him 2 big pillows. One that is made of purple flannel and the other is some crazy ass design he put together. The pillows are in our rooms placed at the side of the bed we tend to favor the most. You are pulled out of your pillow thoughts when you hear Q yelling. "Dammit Daemyn get your fat ass out of my spot. Why do you always plop your ass right here?! I swear I'm going to hide pinky from you for a whole week if you don't get down" you hear Q yell.
You and Kurt start snickering because you both think he does that shit on purpose just to get a rise out of Quinn. Kurt turns to you and says "You know he is too damn smart for his own good. And have you noticed how stubborn he is getting lately?"
"Yea I saw him turn his back to Q the other day when she was fussing at him and when she walked around to continue her rant, he simply turned his back to her again. I honestly couldn't stop laughing about it Kurt. I wish I would have recorded it so you could see him. I have never felt so damn proud of him" you say trying not to laugh again about it.
"Let's take him outside before Quinn pops a blood vessel" Kurt says. You simply nod in reply.
You grab your mug and phone as you follow Kurt out of the kitchen and head towards the back door.
You whistle loudly then shout "C'mon fat boy. Bring pinky." You finally hear a loud thud signaling he finally got out of Quinn's spot. You hear Quinn plop in her spot and pat the seat next to her signaling for Fuego.
You and Kurt are seated outside for like 5 minutes before you see Daemyn come outside through the dog door that Blaine and you installed. He comes to where you two are seated and jumps up into the seat Quinn usually sits in.
Kurt looks at you and asks "Why do you think he ALWAYS sits in Quinn's spots? I mean he like NEVER listens to her. I sometimes truly think he finds some kind of enjoyment out of pissing her off."
You look at Daemyn briefly reaching out to scratch his head before looking back to Kurt and replying. "Honestly Kurt I have no idea. I think she did something to him and this is his way of getting back at her. I mean there had been a couple times where I pissed him off and my damn shoes suffered the consequences."
Kurt laughs then says "Oh my god I totally remember that one time where he chewed the heel off your favorite pair of boots. He stayed in my room for like a week after that. That was the only time I thought he was going to find a new home."
You smile and look back at Daemyn. "I would never get rid of my fat boy. I love him too much even more than a pair of boots. Shoot I bought him a dog to keep him company while we were out at work and school."
Kurt looks over at Daemyn now too and snaps his fingers. Daemyn moved out of your reach and off the chair to go to Kurt. He handed Kurt pinky so he can throw it for him. Kurt threw pinky off the deck and into the yard. Daemyn took off to get the ball.
After a few minutes of silence with Daemyn's footsteps being the only noise Kurt breaks it. "You and Blaine have the same class schedule this semester again right?"
You take a generous sip of your coffee and nod your head. "Yeah we do. You know so it will be easier to study together and that we can cover for each other just in case the other misses class or something. Plus I'll admit it is nice knowing someone in your class before you even step foot in the room on the first day. I mean shoot I don't have to acknowledge any of them dipshits if I have Blaine beside me. Tina actually has 2 classes with us as well."
Kurt smiles at you with a look across his face like he is in on a secret that only he knows. "What" you say to him.
"I just wanted to say thank you again." You look at him slightly confused so he continues. "You know for introducing me to Blaine. If it wasn't for you I don't know if we would have ever even met. So thank you."
You shake your head at him. "Whatever Rosie. It wasn't like I set you two up on purpose or something. I had invited Blaine over to study for a midterm exam since he was strangely the only person not to get on my last nerve in the class."
Kurt gives you that look like he knows half of what you said is complete and utter bullshit, which in all honesty it is.
You'll never admit it to him, but after a few interactions with Blaine you knew he was a great guy. Heck he easily went with the flow of your sarcasm and insults without even blinking an eye. So after finding out he doesn't have a boyfriend, you decided to invite him over to study during a time you knew Kurt would be home. After that initial introduction Blaine came over more often to study and then after like the 4th study session, he finally asked Kurt to go out for coffee some time. Of course Kurt said yes and now the rest is history.
When both mugs were empty Kurt went back inside to refill them. Your mind in the meantime floats back to last night. When you had got home from work last night Kurt and Quinn was getting everything set up for movie night. You let them know you'd be back down after you shower. About 20 minutes later you are back downstairs, you hair is still slightly damp and in your usual white beater and boy shorts. You see that they literally have the living room all ready to go. Kurt was even nice enough to make you a bowl of your ice cream with the works. You guys do rock, paper, scissors to see whose movie choice is first. Quinn won and she chose Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief.
We all got cozy for the movie. Q in her recliner with Fuego in her lap. You didn't even realize the boys were inside. You and Kurt are on your recliner sofa with Daemyn closer to Kurt who happens to have the popcorn. You already know that Kurt is going to toss Daemyn popcorn throughout the movie like he always does. At some point during the movie Daemyn had got up on the sofa between you and Kurt. He laid his head in your lap and you have just been rubbing his head absentmindedly. You don't know how many times you have seen this movie, but it never bores you. You love that damn Satyr especially the scene when they are in the Lotus Hotel and he breaks out into that dance number to Pokerface. Also Rosario Dawson playing Persephone can you say hot?
After seeing this movie for the first time you found out that it was based off of a book series. You bought the set and finished all 5 books in 5 days. You couldn't put the damn books down once you got started. You were so invested in the series that it seeped into your dreams and for almost 2 weeks you were dreaming about Greek gods. You even read the spin-off series which isn't complete just yet and you are anxiously waiting for the 4th book to come out in a couple months.
After Percy is over you let Kurt pick the next movie, while you head outside with Daemyn. You grab the pack out of your purse while en route to the back door. Kurt and Quinn know you smoke Blacks, but you try not to do it when they are outside with you. Quinn doesn't mind and at times steals a black off of you, but Kurt hates it because the smell lingers in his clothes and hair. You only ever see him tolerate it whenever you all go to a party.
You only smoke half of it and put the short back in the pack once you put it out. You walk back in and see more popcorn has been made and that Kurt has brought out the Moscato. "Which movie did you pick while I was outside?"
He smiles at you and replies "Oh you'll see."
After all the coming to theaters and coming to dvd crap has passed we are at the main menu. You look at Kurt and say "Are you fucking serious right now?! We are watching Safe Haven?! Another Nicholas Sparks book turned movie."
Kurt simply smiles and says "Yes we are and I have tissues next to me just in case you start crying again."
You pinch the bridge of your nose while shaking your head. "I was not crying last time. I told you it was just my allergies acting up again. You know how Daemyn is like constantly shedding."
Quinn decides to jump in now and says "Whatever Santana. You know good and damn well it wasn't your allergies acting up. Just admit it the movie touched your heart."
You start mumbling under your breath to yourself that you will go to your grave saying it was just your allergies, while in truth those damn Nicholas Sparks' movies always make you cry at some point during the movie, except for Nights in Rodanthe. You just couldn't get into that movie for some reason. Kurt and Quinn are still looking at you and you just wave your hand at them saying "Just start the damn movie already."
Whether it was you or Daemyn you will never know, but at some point you started cuddling into him. He has always been in tune with your emotions since he was a puppy, so he knew to remain against your side. Kurt also placed the tissue box by Daemyn who in turn nudged it towards you, so you can get a tissue. Kurt's extra training has struck again. You don't know any dog besides the Canine Good Citizen type of dogs, that can pass you a damn tissue when you are crying or on the verge of crying. You are starting to wonder what else Kurt has taught Daemyn while they were hanging out together.
You are snapped out of your thoughts by something extremely wet hitting your exposed thigh. You look down and see Daemyn has tossed pinky into your lap. You will never get over the fact that Daemyn's slobber seems to seep into the damn ball after a good 2 retrievals. You hear laughter and look up. You see its Kurt laughing at you. You roll your eyes at him and throw the ball into the yard again.
"Oh Santana. If you only wore more clothing then you wouldn't have deal with Daemyn's saliva on you" he says to you and chuckles a little more. You mumble whatever in his direction and grab your refilled mug to take a sip.
Kurt breaks the silence after a few minutes once again. "You know I'm actually kind of glad we start back up tomorrow. I mean all of our friends that don't live in the area return. Also that means more parties to attend. And think of all the games we are going to be attending as well."
You smile at Kurt once he mentioned the parties and games. Now that he mentioned the returning friends from out of state you realize that Tina, Blaine, Mercedes, and Sam got lucky about not having to return home during the summer.
One of our professors was travelling abroad all summer and need someone to housesit. Our professor approached both Tina and Blaine about the offer and they said yes without thinking twice about it. They even had the balls to ask if 2 other friends could help. Blaine went into detail about Mercedes and Sam. Everything from where they are from to their upbringing to the college majors to where they currently work. Since our professor had such a soft spot for Blaine and Tina she agreed especially when she heard how Sam can pretty much train any un-trainable animal.
The professor has 3 puppies which are all different breeds. One is a 9 week old male Akita, the second is a 4 month old female Boxer, and the last is a 6 month old male German Shepherd. Sam and his geeky self was all excited about training the pups once Blaine and Tina told him and Mercedes they had found them a place to stay at during the summer. Now that you are really thinking about it Blaine and Tina wouldn't have had to go home anyways because you would have let them stay with you.
You pull out of your thoughts once again realizing you didn't reply to Kurt. "You know you are right Kurtsy. The parties and games are a nice consolation prize for returning back to the hours on top of hours' worth of studying we will be enduring this semester. Oh, Cedes and Trouty are buying the tickets to the HU vs. HU game for us. It's the second weekend after the semester starts so make sure you are off of work that day because I already gave her the money for all of our tickets."
He smiles at you and says "Are you sure you are going to behave yourself this time? Last time you nearly got into a fight and almost had us ALL thrown out behind it."
You shake your head at him. "Are you guys going to always bring that up every time we go to an HU game? I mean the fight didn't happen and I didn't get us thrown out."
Kurt smiles at you "You only stopped instigating the fight when Quinn threatened you with her employee discount" he says.
"Whatever Kurt and yes I plan on TRYING to keep my cool this time, but if they start something it's gon be something." He gives you a funny look and you are trying to figure out why he is looking at you like this. "What" you say to him.
He holds up one finger and says "Did you just halfway quote DMX & Swizz Beatz song Get It On The Floor?" You look at him with a shocked expression, even though you can't see what you look like right now you know for a fact it is a shocked expression.
You open and close your mouth a couple of times before you can get the words out. "How the hell do YOU know about DMX & Swizz Beatz let alone the exact song the lyrics are from?"
He makes a weird noise at you and proceeds to tell you "Girl please, you blast rap music all the time when you are angry or trying to get hyped up. Plus Blaine listens to rap as well so he subjects me to it quite frequently when I'm in his car."
Damn you forgot Blaine loves rap as much or maybe even more than you do, so of course his boyfriend would hear it on a somewhat regular basis.
You roll your eyes at him. "Anyways what else have you taught my dog to do because I sure as hell didn't teach him how to pass me a box of tissues." You change the subject because Kurt calling you out on rap lyrics is just too weird.
He **tsked** at you. "You know Santana he actually learns to do stuff on his own. I didn't teach him that. Honestly I was shocked when he did it to me for the first time. He actually picked up the box and dropped it into my lap when I was watching Atonement. I even looked at him in disbelief and he had the nerve to nudge the box until I took a tissue, only then did he lay back down next to me on the sofa."
Santana shook her head. "Wow fat boy is really too smart for his own good. What was Q doing when you went inside to get more coffee?"
"She was reading a book with her faithful sidekick in her lap. You would think that he was her dog as much time as he spends with her." he says with a chuckle.
You smile "Yea you are right. He's good for her though. He's actually more loyal to her than me and I was the one who bought him." He smiles and nods in agreement.
After a minute you say "I'm heading inside to get on the sticks wanna join me or am I playing against the CPU again?"
He waves you off and says "Maybe later. I want to enjoy the peace while it lasts plus Daemyn keeps on bringing me pinky and he doesn't seem like he's tired out just yet."
"Ok whatever. See you when you come inside" you reply. On your way to the living room you are debating on which game to play. MK pops into mind, so once you get into the living room. You fire up the PS3, pop in MK, grab the controller and plop down on the sofa. Quinn doesn't even acknowledge your presence until she hears the main menu.
"Dammit Santana!" You simply smirk at her and press X after you have chosen Katana. Q was in for a long afternoon of video games.
Brittany's POV
You are all sitting outside on the patio furniture. You and the boys are smoking Newports. Marley is used to the smoking, to the point it doesn't bother her anymore and she even smokes with you on the occasion, but only when you break out the hookah. "Yo B. Why do you always make you conquests do the walk of shame alone when you know we are up? I mean even Mike had the courtesy to walk his to the door. And weren't those two friends?" Puck says.
You shrug at Puck and take a puff. "I don't ever feel like getting up when they all want to dip out, so why should I? You guys are still going to make comments whether or not I'm there and it would probably be worse if I was present because I know I'd be laughing along with you dumbasses. I still get their digits regardless if I walk them to the door. They always leave them on the nightstand" you say to them.
Mike, Jake, and Puck laugh at you, while LeLe just shakes her head. "You know Britt one of these days some girl is going to give you a taste of your own medicine and you aren't going to know what to do. I would include guys, but I think they prefer that sort of treatment you give them" LeLe tells you.
You ponder that for a minute. "I doubt that will ever happen LeLe. Have you seen the girls in this area? Outside of you there aren't any females in this area that are worth more than a night in bed with me and sometimes that can be a waste. And don't let that compliment go to your head too much we all know I'm speaking the truth about DMV chicks."
You look around at the boys and they are all nodding their heads in agreement with you and Jake even leans over to peck LeLe on the cheek. "She's a keeper" Jake says with a twinkle in his eye as he stares at her. She blushes at all the compliments being thrown her way.
"Don't fuck up lil bro or I'm gonna have to kick your ass for being a dumbass. She's the best thing to come into your life and ours as well" Puck says with a sincere smile on his face.
"I'll try not to bro. She's stuck with me all these years and I'm still shocked I didn't scare her off after meeting yall" Jake says with a chuckle.
You all fall out laughing. "Yeah I'm shocked you didn't go running for the hills when Jake introduced you to us. We aren't the easiest bunch to get along with" you say.
LeLe smiles at all of you before saying "I knew if you guys were anything like Jake that we would get along fine. Jake had a tough exterior at first, but slowly he let me in because I never gave up on him."
You all ponder that for a second and you realize that LeLe has a damn gift. This chick saw right through Jake's exterior and by default did the same with you, Puck, and then eventually Mike when he joined the crew.
You continue smoking and you return your gaze to LeLe. "LeLe what does your schedule look like for this semester? I already know Mike and I have the same hours, but different classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And on Tuesdays and Thursdays have completely different hours because of work" you tell her.
She pulls up her class schedule on her phone and starts rattling them off. "You have close to the same hours as me on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And on Thursdays you have pretty much the same hours as Mike. That's good, that's really good. Just in case you are over here instead of in the dorms one of those nights, we don't have to worry about going in early or something to get you to class on time."
She smiles at you and replies "You don't always have to worry about me getting to class you know. There is always the metro."
Everybody looked at her like she grew a second and third head for a split second before laughing. "Good one LeLe" Puck says.
"Like we'd really let you walk down to the metro from here" Mike says next.
"Girl we know you grew up in the area, but your whole demeanor screams innocent, plus Lil Puck would kick all our asses if we let you do such a crazy thing" you say to her.
Jake just nods his head in agreement with all of us.
Puck looks around at us after the laughter dies down and asks "Yo do we have any meat in the freezer?"
You think about it real quick before answering him "I think we have some ground beef and hot dogs in the freezer, but probably not enough for what you're thinking of doing."
Puck throws his head towards Jake "You mind making a run to the commissary lil bro? The meat is always cheaper, but still really tasty. Plus we more than likely need more brews and liquor."
Jake nods his head "Yeah I'll run on base the commissary and shoppette are still open. **he faces Mike** You mind riding with since I am underage still and I believe my dude Los is working the shoppette today so he won't mind you buying the stuff."
Mike says "Yea I'm down. Let's head out before the commissary closes because it is Sunday."
Jake insists on driving as Mike, LeLe, and him head to the gate to go out to the driveway. You don't know why they are going back or forth about it because all of our cars have decals on them now since Jake got them all registered just in case he needs to use any of them.
You and Puck head inside when you hear them pull out the driveway. Faith and LT stay outside in the shade sleeping side by side. You two start pulling everything you need for the barbeque from the fridge and freezer.
You text LeLe telling her that you are out of potatoes and if she could remind the boys to pick some up. She replies back right away saying "okay."
Puck is at the sink washing his hands when he asks "Are you really ready for this semester?"
You hate how Puck always knows when something is up with you. You look at him a shrug. "I'm as ready as I can be. This will be the first semester that Mike and I don't have a class together." You lean against the fridge before continuing. "Don't get me wrong Noah, I love my majors, but I have a feeling the classes are just going to drag unless I find a buddy to keep me entertained. Finding Mike was pure luck and I don't think that same luck will come back around this semester. I just don't want to be bored is all."
Puck looks at you and you see him thinking through what he wants to say since he knows this is serious. "You know we are two peas in a pod when it comes to making friends and who we let in, but I think you may have to put yourself a little out there this semester. **He lifts his hand to show he isn't finished saying his bit yet** I'm not saying do like you did with Mike because honestly you are right that was pure luck and I'm still grateful you found him. What I'm saying is your classes are getting harder and possibly more boring, so to survive you need to find someone to study with. Just find the least annoying person in the class, but who also knows their stuff to study with, because honestly the last person you brought home was like the most annoying person I have EVER met. Yea she is really sweet, but her mouth wouldn't stop moving."
You are laughing so hard at Puck to the point your side hurts. "Really Puck?! She's not that bad if you know how to tune her out at the right moments. Plus nobody told you to hook up with her. Just be lucky she didn't go all Fatal Attraction on your ass." He just shakes his head mumbling something that sounded like "that never happened."
"Anyways speaking about girls and hooking up, when are you going to slow your roll some? Like really has none of these girls showed any kind of potential besides being a one night thing, Sasha not included because I know she is your fall back girl. And now that I think about it why hasn't anything happened between you and Sasha besides sex?" he asks you.
You pause for a second to gather your thoughts and words before replying. "The girls I've been with this summer don't see anything in me besides a hot body and a potentially good lay. Now you know as well as I do that I am AMAZING in the bedroom, so they are right in thinking a potentially good lay, but I'm more than that. I will slow my roll when I come across a girl that doesn't fall for any of my tricks. That I truly have to put forth work into getting to know her and what not, because while I'm getting to know her she will be getting to know me. She will see me for more than my body and except me as I am flaws and all. Now as for Sasha, I do believe she wishes for more from me, but I can't do it. Yeah she may be like the only female in a long time that has set foot in this house and in my bed more than once, but you can't date a fall back. I'm not that damn cruel to lead her on like such. She knows it's only sex between us and nothing more. If we had started out differently then maybe we could have been more, but we didn't. And don't even get me started on the guys. The guys I've been in contact with present company excluded have been good for nothing besides sex and even then more than half of them have been weak in that area. Plus you know when it comes to a relationship I'll have more success with a female then I would with a male in this area."
Puck just looks at you when you finish. "You have been thinking about this for a good minute haven't you?" he asks.
You just simply nod your head at him. "I can't help, but think about it when I see our lil bro with LeLe. We may have a rough exterior to everyone outside of our circle, but I know deep down you and Mike are with me on this. You want to find that one girl that will make you stop running around the DMV chasing pussy. Noah, the last and only relationship you ever had with a girl was with me back in our sophomore year of high school. Even then it wasn't a true relationship. It was just a mutual agreement to lose our virginities to each other and us pretending to be a couple to keep the creepers away from me whenever we went out. And by junior year we didn't need to pretend anymore because word got around not to fuck with us."
Puck smiles at the memory. "Ah yes I remember us breaking a few bones in some bikers after one wouldn't stop trying to grab your ass" he says while laughing.
You laugh with Puck at the memory. You two have truly been through it all together. Puck calms down some, looks you in the eye and says "I think we may have better luck this year. My spidey sense is giving off vibes that our luck relationships wise will change for the better."
"I hope you are right Noah. I really hope you are right, but enough with this shit. Let's start prepping for the barbeque because you know they are gonna talk shit if we haven't started a damn thing by the time they get back."
Puck nods his head at you and then walks off towards the garage to get the charcoal, while you wash your hands before you start forming the patties for the burgers. You just realize while you were humming that there is no music on right now, so you stop to wash your hands again before you grab the remote for the stereo. You see that your iTouch is already hooked up to it. You select your Hip Hop playlist and turn back to the sink to wash your hands again once you hit play. The house fills with the beat to Lil' Kim's The Jump Off.
[Intro: You]
Whoa! (Whoa!) Whoa! (Yeah)
Jake, Mike, and LeLe walk into the house unnoticed because of how loud the music is.
Aiyyo Tim man this the jump off right here man! (Jump off!)
Jake, Mike, and LeLe walk into the kitchen and Jake joins in with you.
You: Whoa! Jake: (Whoa!)
You turn around and smirk at Jake. This has always been a song you guys get down to together. He sets down the bags on the counter and walks towards you.
You: Whoa! Jake: (Whoa!)
You: Whoa! Jake: (It's Queen Bee nigga)
You: It's the jump off Jake: (Come on)
Jake reaches you and takes your hands which thankfully haven't had the chance to touch the meat again since you started the music.
[Verse 1: You (Jake)]
I been gone for a minute now I'm back at the jump off (Jump off)
Goons in the club in case somethin jumps off
And back up before the hive let the pump off
In the graveyard is where you get dumped off
Jake and you start dancing and doing goofy moves.
All we wanna do is party (Woo!)
And buy everybody at the bar Bacardi (Woo!)
Black Barbie dressed in Bvlgari
I'm trying to leave in somebody's Ferrari
Spread love that's what a real mob do
Keep it gangsta look out for her people (For her people)
I'm the wicked bitch of the east, you better keep the peace (Aiyyo!)
Or out come the beast
You two continue dancing like dorks while rapping along with the song.
We the best still there's room for improvement
Our presence is felt like a Black Panther movement
Seven quarter to eights back to back with 'em (Back to back)
And I'm sittin on chrome seven times platinum
You just noticed that LeLe is once again recording your performance on her phone. You throw your head in LeLe's direction so Jake can turn around and look. He turns and laughs because he sees her recording.
[Chorus: You & Jake]
This is for my peeps, with the Bentley's, the Hummers, the Benz
Escalades twenty three inch rims (Oh!)
Jumping out the Jaguar with the Tims, keep it real
And live good, East coast West coast worldwide
All my players in the hood stay fly
And if your balling let me hear you say ride (ride)
Jake starts dancing towards LeLe, while you head over to Mike with a smirk on your face.
[Verse 2: You (Jake)]
It's Lil' Kim and Timbaland niggas shit ya drawers (Come on)
Special delivery for you and yours (Now)
I rep for bitches he rep for boys (Uh ha)
If you rep for your hood then make some noise
You start grindin' into Mike's crotch and he automatically grabs your hips.
I got my eye on the guy in the Woolrich coat
Don't he know Queen Bee got the ill deep throat?
You look over at Jake and LeLe and you see Jake bumpin' and grindin' with LeLe hardcore.
Uh! Let me show you what I'm all about
How I make a Sprite can disappear in my mouth...HO!
Shake up the dice, throw down your ice (What)
Bet it all player fuck the price
Money ain't a thing throw it out like rice
Been around the world cop the same thing twice
Rub on my tits (Huh!) squeeze on my ass (Oh!)
You grab Mike's hands to touch your tits and ass at the same time you say the lyrics. And they all laugh at your antics.
Gimme some UH! Step on the gas (Ah)
Pop the cork and roll up the hash (Roll it!)
You know what we about, sex, drugs and cash
[Chorus: You & Jake]
This is for my peeps, with the Bentley's, the Hummers, the Benz
Escalades twenty three inch rims (Oh!)
Jumping out the Jaguar with the Tims, keep it real
And live good, East coast West coast worldwide
All my players in the hood stay fly
And if your balling let me hear you say ride (ride)
[Verse 3: You (Jake)]
Enter the world of the Playboy pin up girl
Butt naked dressed in nothing but pearls
You wanna meet me cause ya, know I'm freaky
And ya, wanna eat me cause ya, say I'm sexy
Got a man in Japan and a dude in Tahiti
Believe me sweety I got enough to feed the needy
No need to be greedy I got mad friends that's pretty (Hey!)
Chicks by the layers (And) all different flavors (Woo!)
Mafioso that's how this thing go (Yeah)
Now everybody come get with the lingo
You and Jake continue to dance with LeLe and Mike.
Shake your body body, move your body body (Body body)
On the dance floor don't hurt nobody body (Body body)
I'm the one that put the "Range" in the "Rover"
When I'm steppin' out the "Range" yo it's over
Coming through in the Brooklyn Mint gear
We 'gone do this just like Big Poppa was here
You and Jake separate from Mike and LeLe right before the last chorus facing each other.
[Chorus: You & Jake]
This is for my peeps, with the Bentley's, the Hummers, the Benz
Escalades twenty three inch rims (Oh!)
Jumping out the Jaguar with the Tims, keep it real
And live good, East coast West coast worldwide
All my players in the hood stay fly
And if your balling let me hear you say ride (ride)
[Outro: Jake]
Yeah, to the what, yeah, oh, yo, keep your bread up, yeah, and worldwide
And stay fly nigga, yeah man, right right right right, Queen Bee, LB
Two thousand and, fucking three, why not? we making it hot
She back at it, why wouldn't she be? come on, yeah
B.I.G. Freaky Tah, yeah yeah yeah, L's, light 'em, oh...
You and Jake are still facing each other at the end when you put your hand up and Jake caught on right away. You both went into this long ass handshake that you, him, and Puck created years ago. When you two finished, yall start laughing and you heard Mike and LeLe join in too.
You look at them and say "Okay now that everyone got a good laugh in let's get the food ready for the grill because I don't feel like hearing Puck's mouth about what's taking so damn long to make some patties." You all divvy up the tasks amongst yourselves and get to work.
15 minutes later
You, Mike, and Jake are heading out back with a shitload of patties and stuffed hotdogs on three huge trays. Marley is still inside finishing up the potato salad.
Puck looks at yall and says "About damn time. Thought yall got lost in there or something."
You roll your eyes at him and set your tray down. You head over to your spot and drop down into the chair while pulling out a newport from your pack. Mike comes to sit next to you while you see Jake head back inside.
You tilt your head to the right to look at Mike. "I'm not ready for summer to be over. We had a lot of fun and we aren't going to be able to chill like this once tomorrow comes."
He reaches over you to grab your pack and pluck a cigarette for himself before responding. "Well look at it this way. We are halfway through our college years. We only need to survive a couple more years and then it can be like this summer all the time. Hell it will probably be better than this summer" he says before lighting up his newport and inhaling.
"Yea I guess you have a point" you tell him.
Jake and Marley come back outside both hands filled with Coronas for all of us. You like when everyone stays at home and chills like this. LeLe actually lets herself drink more than her usual two or three drinks. Jake passes one to his brother and another to Mike. Marley gives you the extra in her hand before sitting down next to Jake.
A few minutes pass where everyone is just sipping and smoking then of course Puck breaks the silence. "Ay LeLe Momma Rose is closing the Cafe for Labor Day right?" he asks.
"Yes she is Puck. She has been every year, so all her employees can enjoy the day" she replies.
"Good good. She is coming over for the barbeque right?" he asks.
"Yes Noah she is like she has been for the past couple of years" she says while shaking her head.
Puck glances over and says "Hey I was just double checking. It is next weekend. Shit lil' bro you're gonna have to make another trip to the commissary to get a shit load of meat, but the works this time since our folks will be joining us."
Jake was about to say something, but got interrupted by Faith running over to the gate barking. Everyone looked at each other trying to figure out if the other knew that someone would be coming over. You and Jake head towards the gate when it all of a sudden swings open. Faith had stopped barking at the culprit, but nobody came through the gate yet. Finally we see who comes through the gate and it's none other than Rachel Berry.
Pucks says loudly "What the hell Rachel?! You just don't walk into someone's backyard uninvited. Why didn't you call or text Brittany or Marley to say you were coming over?!"
"Well Noah, I wanted to make a grand, but surprising entrance and even though Faith alerted you of my presence ahead of time, I still got the shock factor from all of you when I walked through the gate" she says so fast that you are once again shocked you even caught everything she said.
"Rachel, how did you get here anyways? You don't have a car, the metro is not within walking distance and I doubt you paid a taxi to come all the way out here" you say to her.
"Well as you already know that school starts back up tomorrow and I arrived on Friday with my dads to get my stuff out of storage and placed into my dorm room. Thankfully, I got a single dorm room this time so I can do vocal training whenever I please. Anyways to answer your question my dads just dropped me off. I asked them if they could bring me here prior to their departure back to Lima" she replies.
Everyone is now just shaking their head because nobody planned on nonstop talking Rachel Berry to be here. Rachel is like that kid that gets on everybody's nerves, but is too nice for any of us to be mean too.
"Are you still Vegan Rach because we are grilling up some burgers and hot dogs, but we don't have anything vegan" you say to her.
"No worries. I knew you wouldn't have anything vegan because none of you knew of my arrival, so I brought my own vegan dish. Mind if I use your oven?" she says.
You simply nod and say "Sure you remember where everything is in the kitchen right?" you say. Rachel nods happily before skipping off towards the backdoor of the house.
You go back to your seat and down the rest of your Corona. "Why didn't any of us factor in the fact that with school starting that Rachel would start popping up?" you say.
Everybody just shrugs and then Marley speaks up. "We got spoiled by the summer of not having anyone, but us that we forgot people would be returning."
Everyone murmurs their agreement. "Looks like I'll definitely be getting tipsy tonight. Anybody needs another while I'm in there?" you ask.
Everyone nods their heads and LeLe offers to go in with you to retrieve the Coronas.
Once inside and in the kitchen you see Rachel has just finished placing her dish in the oven and setting the timer for 20 minutes. You open the fridge and start passing LeLe bottles. You close the fridge then you and LeLe start popping open the bottles and sticking limes into them. You pass one to Rachel, who just takes it from you. She used to be hesitant about drinking in the past because she is underage and not at home, but she soon realized that it was okay to drink with you guys and nothing bad would happen. You and LeLe head back outside with everyone's Coronas with Rachel trailing behind you.
You get outside and hand everyone their drink before sitting down. Rachel sits down right next to you invading your bubble. You hop up real quick before heading over to Puck to check on his progress with the food. You ask him how much longer and he says about 15 minutes until everything will be finished.
You head back over and look at Mike with pleading eyes. He gives you a nod and you sit down in his lap. At least with Mike you don't feel like your suffocating, you'll be able to handle Berry after a few drinks in your system. Berry opens her mouth and starts' talking about God knows what. You start taking your beer to the head because you need to get tipsy and fast for a night of Rachel Berry.
A few hours later
It's a little after midnight and you're lying down in bed. You have a great buzz going right now and just want to go to sleep, so you can get up in a few hours to run with Mike before school. You just can't seem to get to sleep right now because Rachel Berry is bunking up with you and she won't shut up. You can feel your buzz slowly slipping away from you as each word passes her lips.
You without turning over you say "Dammit Rachel I'm trying to go to sleep. I got to get up at 5 with Mike to run, so can you please just shut up and go to sleep."
Rachel doesn't respond for what feels like 30 minutes when it actuality it was probably only one minute. You turn over and see Rachel is knocked the fuck out now. You just shake your head and let the sandman lull you to sleep. Before you're completely asleep, you swear you hear Rachel say "Goodnight Brittany. Thank you for always being such a good friend to me." Then you're out like a light with the start of a new semester a mere few hours away.
A/N 2: Well that was chapter 2. I hope you all enjoyed it. I will be starting chapter 3 tomorrow and should have it out a lot quicker than this chapter since the spring semester is done. Any questions, comments, or concerns you can reach me on here, Twitter, or Tumblr.
A/N3: Also go and purchase on Amazon the book: The Puppetmaster (Shay Sable) by Helen West. She is an amazing Brittana fanfic writer and we should give her our support. :)
All grammar and spelling mistakes are mine. And if you haven't heard of the songs used in this chapter you should go check them out.
Deuces for now.
