*Bold and Italic are Quinn's thoughts.
Blink. Smile. React. Do something, Fabray! QUINN! BREATHE!
The blonde took a deep breath. She realized that she had not been breathing. Her eyes had been made hostages by those deep brown eyes from the moment that they met with her hazel ones. The silent tension in the crowd was quickly evaporating. Not even a minute had passed from the moment when George announced the winning bid to the flurry of raised voices and the screams of photographers, cameras, guests, and onlookers fidgeting in their seats.
The hall burst into applause, and several people, especially the organizers of the event, rose in choruses of yeahs and wows, that spread as fast as gunpowder fuses throughout the place. Everyone, it seemed, wanted to witness and record the unexpected event. Nearly seven hundred phones were raised in the air, adorning the hands of the people present. In a few seconds, videos, photos, and uploaded statuses would be on social networking sites all over the world.
O-oh-m-y-G-o-d! Oh my God! OH MY GOD! ONE MILLION DOLLARS! She offered-She will give a million dollars-for a kiss-AKISSFROMME? A MILLION? FOR ME?ohmyGodohmyGodohmyGodohmyGodohmyGodohmyGodohmyGod!
Quinn couldn't control the erratic beats of her heart, which seemed to want to leave her body, at all costs, by the actress's chest.
George kept gesturing to all sides, screaming into the microphone to a wild audience. Quinn heard loose phrases such as: "Unbelievable!"; "The most coveted kiss in history"; "The most exciting auction of his life" and other gems.
Huh? What? How? Of HIS life? What? Helloooo, the pressure of a million dollars for an exchange of saliva is on the shoulders of this little girl right here.
The only person who remained indifferent to all the confusion was the small and mysterious brunette. Without taking her eyes off the actress, she quietly climbed the stairs that led to the stage and stopped a few steps from the blonde. The half-smile turned into a slight giggle, which spread all over the girl's face with a dazzling brightness, and Quinn saw the look of absolute satisfaction adorning the brunette's face.
George cut the distance between them, breaking the strange and intense visual connection they maintained, and with his microphone in hand, fired the pressing question.
"What's your name, Miss?"
Some people in the audience seemed calmer, and a few others twisted their mouths and rolled their eyes, irritated by the question of the presenter, but the brunette seemed to be enjoying everything like never before.
"I'm Rachel. Rachel Barbra Berry."
George's eyes widened and Quinn didn't understand why. She didn't recognize the name, but George looked like he just committed a huge gaffe.
"Miss Berry-"
She interrupted him. "Rachel."
"Rachel." George repeated her first name with a foolish grin. "This bid was-"
"Actually, George," Rachel interrupted again. "I have to admit, I'm seriously disappointed."
George opened his mouth to say something, but she cut him off for the third time.
"In my opinion, the bids were an outrage." After fixing her gaze on Quinn, she continued. "I mean, look at her. My duty was, at least, to do justice to such a gorgeous goddess by giving a bid worthy of her beauty, but now, really looking at her… I dare to say that I didn't make it." Quinn couldn't move; those brown eyes didn't allow her to. "Maybe if I have a chance to try again…" The brunette paused for a moment, lost in her own thoughts, and with a bite of her lower lip concluded. "No, even then, I won't be able to succeed."
Quinn?
Huh?
Close your mouth.
Okay...
The audience shared a laugh. George followed the rhythm of the public; however, his discomfort was notable.
"So without further ado ..." George turned to Quinn, taking her by the hand and leading her toward the brunette.
What? Already? Like this? In front of all these people?
Fabray, calm down.
N-no.
No?
What part of "this woman paid a million dollars to kiss us" didn't you understand?
Would you please control yourself? GIRL! This is not the first time you kissed a stranger in front of other strangers. Helloooo, you're Quinn Fabray, the actress, remember?! For God's sake, you have to collect yourself! Make your poker face and get in the game!
You know what? You are right! Pokerfacepokerfacepokerface.
You're such a dork.
"Your prize, my Lady." With a little bow, George walked away, leaving Quinn face to face with Rachel.
Rachel watched Quinn curiously, her lips curling into a crooked half-smile.
The actress leaned toward the brunette's face, ready to get it over with.
Pretend! You came knowing that you'd kiss someone. Forget this little detail that she gave a million dollars to feel your lips on hers, and just do it.
"Hello," the brunette whispered suddenly.
Quinn stopped a few centimeters away from Rachel's mouth, and just like that, her eyes got lost in the brunette's gaze again.
Rachel took advantage of Quinn's momentary distraction. With a firm, but undeniably gentle gesture, her right hand slid down Quinn's nape and closed the distance between them by joining their lips. The blonde lost all control and threw her arms around Rachel's neck, deepening the kiss, and leaving the audience, already perplexed, extremely ecstatic.
Thank you for all reviews, FF and FAV. Tks a lot. Really. Everyone.
I can not respond to everyone, but I caught a few who made suggestions and questions to answer here, okay?
I know some of you, like R3dN0te must be wondering, "What the hell this Rachel does for living?" XD
I know. I know. But I can guarantee that Rachel has a bank account that allows certain extravagances. And hello, this is Rachel Berry, as my dear colleague, TIGGRAIN said "You can never have too much theatrics Especially in the story with Rachel Barbra Berry." Tks TIGGRAIN. So don't worry, she got this and more.
and BolliBollicao I could not believe you actually read the entire original story - in Portuguese - because you could not stand the curiosity! XD Oh God. Thank you! What I can say? I'm extremely flattered.
So I'll be waiting for you comments and I'll posting the next chapter as soon as possible.
