Chapter 3

"So what's this show again?" Santana huffed as her and Quinn where in the car on their way to the ITV studio's.

"It's like a panel show thing, on gossip and stuff." Quinn replied whilst flicking through a magazine. Santana looked over at the blonde and frowned.

"We know nothing about celebrities over here. We're fucked." She moaned and attempted to read the magazine as well as Quinn.

"They don't really care about scores and stuff. It's a comedy show." The blonde muttered, smirking when she saw Santana's eyes flick to her.

"Ok Q, spill. How do you know? I know you've never seen the show so how do you kn—ohh." The Latina ended with a smirk before leaning back in her seat.

Quinn looked at Santana's smog luck and knew straight away that this wasn't going to be good. "Ohh? Ohhh what?" Quinn asked with a frown.

"You found out by Cooper." Santana stated as she turned to face the girl, a smirk covering her face. She knew her friend had some sort of feelings for Cooper, but she also knew Quinn didn't like going head first into relationships.

"So? I may have text him last night to find out what the show was about. To prepare us." Quinn defended.

Santana held up her hands in protest. "Hey! I wasn't judging or anything. If you wanna text that fine piece of man, feel free to." She said.

Quinn looked at her for a moment, an eyebrow raised. "Ok what? You always have an opinion." She complained.

"I just think it's cute how you don't think he likes you."

"He doesn't! We're just friends." Quinn defended, the pitch of her voice going higher which made Santana smirk.

"Bullshit. You've been texting him since you got his number, you'll be sitting there on your phone just giggling to yourself! Stop denying it Q. And by the way, you two would be SUCH a hot couple."

"I do not giggle to myself!" She mumbled, making Santana look at her with a doubtful look on her face. "and so what if I've been texting him? Friends do that. Anyway it will never happen, that would mean telling him about Beth, and the media would go crazy if we where together. AND he's 4 years younger than me." Quinn exclaimed.

"Alright, ok. Calm down." Santana said sarcastically. They both looked at each other for a moment before going back to sharing the magazine. The car ride continued for another 20 minutes before they felt the car pull to a halt. They flicked one more page through the magazine, knowing they can't get out before the driver clears the area. Quinn froze at the picture whilst Santana scoffed and nudged Quinn's shoulder. "Totally just friends." Santana stated dryly.

On the page was a picture of when Quinn had sat herself on Cooper's lap and was leaning in to talk in his ear. Sure her and Cooper knew what was really happening but to anyone else it sure looked personal. Quinn rolled her eyes and followed Santana when she got out of the car, flashing a quick smile to the paparazzi as they walked through the studio doors.

"Seriously, i hate this weather." Santana moaned. They where quickly met by a worker who took them to their dressing room where they had an hour to get ready.

The hour passed fairly quickly as half of it was spent getting changed and their hair and makeup done. They walked out to the set together and waved to the fans that where already there. "Hi, i'm Holly!" A very blonde pregnant Holly willoughby said as she approached them, a big grin on her face.

"Hey, nice to meet you. I'm Quinn." The blonde introduced herself.

"Santana." Santana followed not long after. Holly smiled at them both and ran them through the show and took them to their team desk.

"Crap. I gotta go to the loo. I'll be back soon alright? I think Fearne and Rufus are coming soon with Cooper so they'll come and introduce themselves." Holly said before she waddled backstage.

"I think I'm blind." Quinn mumbled as she squinted up at the stage lights which where still being tested for the show.

"Cooper!"Santana yelled.

Cooper had arrived at the studio late so had quickly got changed in his dressing room before rushing of to find Fearne. Him and Fearne were good friends by now, they often give radio 1 Misfit Direction's song exclusive so they talked on a regular basis.

"Fearne." He said when he saw the thin woman. She smiled when she saw him and gave him a hug, ruffling his hair in the process.

"C.J! Haven't talked in a while!" She said.

"Well this is a once in a lifetime picture." They heard a deep voice say from behind them. They turned around and saw Rufus Hound standing there with a smirk on his face. Cooper laughed and walked to him before pulling him into a man hug giving him a slap on the back.

"As nice as this reunion is. We where meant to be on stage 5 minutes ago." Fearne stated. The group walked through the halls to the main stage and where mid-laugh when Cooper heard his name being called.

When he turned around he saw that it was Santana that had called his name, he smiled at the girl and held up a finger to her, silently telling her he'll come over in a minute. "Guys I'm gonna go talk to Santana and Quinn." He told the pair as they where deep in conversation, only receiving a nod in confirmation.

He walked over to Santana and only then noticed that Quinn was there with her, giving his stomach butterfly's. He reached Santana with a smile, shocked when she jumped up and wrapped her arms around her neck. "Hey Santana. Y'alright?" He said as she pulled away. The girl nodded in reply and Cooper turned around to Quinn.

The blonde looked up at him with nervous eyes. Cooper opened his arms wide and shrugged, smiling when she walked into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest. "Quinn. Been ok?" He muttered into his hair. He felt her nod into his chest and ave her a tight squeeze before letting her go.

"So how are you two liking London?" He asked when him and Quinn pull apart.

"I love it so much, the shops are incredible." Quinn replied with a small smile.

"It's good. Needs to improve it's weather though." Santana scoffed.

"Yeah, London's alright. Not much a fan of it myself." Cooper said with a shrug. Both the girls snapped their heads up and looked at Cooper.

"Your not from here?" Santana asked.

"Nahh. I'm from Manchester. Don't even live here." Cooper said.

They continued to make small talk until it was time for everyone to take their places. The recording light on the camera came on and Keith Lemon done the typical introduction from walking through the crowd.

"Holly..." Keith started.

"Yes?"

"Boob's are looking fit as flip tonight." He stated. "Who's on your team tonight?"

"Well on my right we have one member of Some Direction, it's Santana lopez!" She said, pausing as the audience cheer. "And on my right it's another member, it's Quinn Fabray!" She finished off.

"Santana..." Keith said with a flirty look to her.

"Yeah?"

"Quinn?" He continued.

"Mmm?"

"I'd smash both your back doors in." He said with a laugh. The two girls laughed and smiled at the audience as they laughed along. "Bang tidy." He added.

"Fearne." Keith said as he turned to the smaller woman.

"What?"

"Your nostrils look huge tonight. Boobs look decent though. Well as decent as boy boobs can look." Keith said, his trademark cackle echoing though the studio and mixing with the crowds laughs.

"and your looking very ginger tonight." Fearne returned.

"Fuck you. I'm strawberry blonde." He said the smile not leaving his face and him not missing a beat. "Who's on your team tonight?"

"Well on my left i have Rufus Hound!" She shouted as the crowd broke into houling noises. "And on my right i have Cooper Rockwell!" She screamed, laughing when the cheering turned very high pitched.

"Cooper! Why do people call you CJ?" Keith said.

"Cooper Jackson Rockwell. Someone called me it years ago and it stuck." He said with a shrug. "Why?"

"Just wondering." Keith stated.

"Why is it, even when you ask a normal question...it sounds dirty?" Cooper wondered out loud.

The show went well, Cooper, Santana and Quinn each earning laughs from the audience. Before they knew it the show was over and Keith was saying the final words,

"If i don't see you in week, I'll see you through window!" He said down the camera as the closing music started to play. Keith, Rufus, Fearne and Holly all started to get up and move to the centre since they had about 30 seconds to kill before the camera was cut. They started dancing in the middle jokingly. Cooper smiled and joined them, laughing when he saw Santana and Quinn dance their way over to him.

He put an arm around each of them and danced with them, laughing at Keith when he did his Russian dance. "and we're out!" He faintly heard over the laughter. People in the audience started to get up to leave straight away.

"I feel like a pimp." Cooper joked.

"Yeah well make the most of it." Santana said.

"Why? Do i smell or something?" He asked as he pulled them closer.

"Oh no, you smell hot. I just prefer the smell of Britt." Santana said as she removed herself from under his arm.

"You like my smell don't you, Quinn?" He whined with a pout.

Quinn laughed at his attempt at a pout and nodded at him. He smiled at her and wrapped his arm tighter as they laughed. "So when do you guys leave?" He wondered.

"Tomorrow." Quinn answered with a frown.

"That's soon. What are you guys doing for the rest of the day?"

"Shopping" Came from Santana.

"Nothing." Quinn answered at the same time.

Cooper let out a laugh and looked at both girls. "Alright...Quinn...do you think that maybe, since your not doing anything, we could go out for a meal or something? Or we could go to Harrods or something?" He stuttered out, removing his arm from around Quinn's shoulders and wiping his palm over his jeans.

Quinn looked at him, like, really looked at him. She knew she liked him more than she should, and she knew she was falling heavy. But then at the back of her mind there where thoughts that kept on nagging her. He's too young. He lives the other side of the world...for another month.

"You don't have to if you don't want. I'm not forc—" Cooper started when Quinn didn't answer.

"I'd love too. How about we do both?" Quinn said with a warm smile.

Cooper felt himself let out the breath that he had been holding and knew that a smile was covering his face. "Really?" He checked.

"Yeah, really. I need to go back to my hotel to change though. So how about i meet you outside Harrods in a hour and a half?" She said, sensing that he was nervous. Cooper nodded and smiled at her.

"Q. Leave pretty boy alone. We need to go." Santana said as she approached the two. Santana turned to Cooper and gave him a light hug before walking ahead of Quinn.

"See you in a while?" Cooper muttered as he stood awkwardly in-front of Quinn. The blonde looked at him before she leant up and wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.

"Later." She mumbled into his chest as he gave her a light squeeze. She pulled away from him and gave him a small wave before chasing after Santana, not catching the grin on Cooper's face.

Sorry this took so long! Blame college.

So yeah, next will be the date. That should be up in the next few days considering it's already written, but the quicker i get reviews, the quicker it will be posted. (Blackmail for the win.)

So yeah, not sure when the next chapter after that will be since I'm having guests over for a week or so and my mum's going in hospital on Thursday and won't be able to do anything for a while which means BROGAN TO THE RESCUE!

So yeah, review and let me know.

(BTW, yes i know how poorly i wrote Keith, but it's so bloody hard! If you haven't saw him, you should really watch Celebrity Juice, YouTube it.)
