Chapter Seven: Beginning of Winter Break
Rachel and Faith had been dating with little incident for a little over two and a half months now. The brunette had been more like her old self when it came to glee, bossing everyone around and annoying Mr. Schue to the point he was ready to pull his hair out, to which Faith thought was just hilarious.
It was the last day of school before winter break, and the ground was cover in two feet of snow, but since this was anticipated, the salt trucks came out early to clear the roads, which unfortunately meant they had to attend that last day, but luckily it was almost over so they weren't too upset.
Quinn, Santana, and Brittany were going on a ski trip, Aspen. Yeah, Quinn and Santana's families were rich, and since Santana had come out a few weeks prior, they invited Brittany to come along with them.
Now Rachel and Faith, they were just going to spend winter break together in Lima. Rachel's dads were visiting Hiram's family, meaning they would have the entire house all to themselves for a week. The final bell had rung, signaling the beginning of their vacation, all the students were so excited, some even left their backpacks, bolting out of the school as fast as their legs would carry them.
The two girls held hands as they exited the school, Faith carrying both their bags, less rushed then the rest of the other students. As Faith threw the backpacks in the front of her truck, Quinn passed them with Santana and Brittany in tow. "Hope you two enjoy spending your vacation in this little hell hole, while we're skiing in Aspen." She snarked, gesturing to her and her friends, as she passed by to get into her car.
"Leave 'em alone Q!" Santana glared, shoving Quinn.
"Thanks Preggers. Oh, and have fun screwing your shrimp dick boy toy, just don't get knocked-up, again." Faith smirked. "Even though Rach and I might be stuck here, we're gonna have a hell of a lot more fun than skiing, I'd rather get a face full of Berry than snow any day." Faith added getting a slap on the arm from her blushing girlfriend, and a high five from a smirking Santana.
"Gross!" Quinn exclaimed, while Santana and Brittany laughed. "And what's with you two, why do you always take their side?! You're supposed to be my friends!" Quinn screams, glowering at her friends as she gets in her car, speeding out of the parking lot.
Faith laughed, and kissed a grinning Rachel. "That was uncalled for, just because her sex life is severely lacking, doesn't mean you should make fun of her for it." She said trying to hold in her laughter, but she couldn't contain it, and all four girls were laughing their asses off.
"Damn, I wish you would have said that to Q's face, she woulda fucking flipped." Laughed Santana.
Rachel rubbed her chin, looking contemplative. "Hmm, maybe when she gets back from her magnificent vacation." She giggled.
"God this is fucked up ya know?" Faith comments, looking between her girlfriend and two of her former tormenters.
"What do you mean?" Rachel inquires.
"Us." Faith gestures to the four of them, "Since that double date we all been sticking up fer each other."
"Would you rather me be a mega bitch again?" Santana asks, arching her eyebrow.
"No!" Rachel accidently yells.
"She's just kidding, she really likes you two, she said that Faith is like the sister she never had." Brittany chirps happily.
" Brit, that was private." Santana whispers, blushing. "And geez Berry, it was a joke, since I came out, I haven't been as much of a …" Santana starts.
" Cunt?" Faith smirks.
"Fuck you white me." Santana throws back. "But, yeah, I was a total cunt to you both, and I'm actually sorry about it." She shrugs, opening her car door for Brittany.
'See you guys when we get back!" Brittany smiles.
"Yeah, see you bitches later." Santana grins, waving bye to the other two girls, before she shuts her door, pulling out of the parking lot.
They both watch the other couple's car leave. "I don't think I'll ever get use to Santana sticking up for me against Quinn." Rachel shakes her head.
"I know, FUBAR right?" Faith laughs, as they both get into her truck and leave for Rachel's house.
"So… would you like to watch a movie when we get home?" Rachel inquired, breaking the comfortable silence they had fallen into.
Faith laughed to herself, "Yeah, that'd be nice, ya gonna make me popcorn?"
"Sure, I always do love." Rachel replies sweetly, making her girlfriend's grin grow even wider. "What?" She asked when she caught sight of the other girl smiling widely.
Faith shook her head, "Nothin, yer just so cute when ya say such domestic stuff."
"What's that supposed to mean… domestic?" The other girl asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.
"As in ya always sayin, "When we get home." Like we live together, and ya say it no matter if we're going ta yer place or mine." Faith supplies. "I think it's cute." She adds with a shrug.
"Aww, you're the cute one baby." Rachel whispers, linking their fingers together for the rest of the ride to the brunette's house."
When they arrived at Rachel's, she was the first one to jump out, asking Faith if she would get their bags.
"Always do." Faith grumbled, grabbing their bags. She was too busy with getting their stuff that she didn't see the snowball Rachel had launched at her, resulting in being totally blindsided by a stinging face full of snow. Sputtering, she wiped the slush from her face, and blinked at the sight of her girlfriend bent over, giggling, with another snowball in her hand.
"Oh, you so did not just do that," she growled, icy water dripping down the back of her neck.
Rachel gasped with laughter. "You turned...right when...and the look on your face..."
"You're goin to pay for that, Rach." Faith bent over and scraped together a double handful of snow, ignoring the burning cold. Rachel's face changed from laughter to worry, and she started backing up towards the house.
"Come on baby, it was just an innocent prank, no need to retaliate." Rachel pleaded.
"Hey, yer the one still holdin a snowball; this is just a preemptive strike." Faith said, taking a step forward, crushing the snow into the perfect shape.
Rachel sidled around the other side of the truck. "Preemptive...? You've been watching way to many action movies." The other girl says backing up further, hoping to delay the cold ice she knew was going to be hitting her relatively soon.
"Ya gonna talk, or ya gonna run babe?" Faith smirked, smiling cheekily at her girlfriend.
Rachel made a run for the front door, but Faith circled the truck just as fast, and whipped her snowball. It caught the brunette square in the chest, and splattered all over her reindeer sweater. Rachel retaliated with the ball she was holding, but Faith ducked it and charged.
"Hey!" Rachel was running in earnest, now. "Come on, that's one each. We're even now, aren't we love?" she called over her shoulder.
"Not until ya eat snow, Berry!" Faith yelled, chasing her through the snow covered yard. Rachel floundered, trying to break through the mid-calf deep snow in her front yard, trying to see how close Faith was getting and still trying to choose the best direction to flee.
Faith, with her trail already broken and several inches of height on her side, closed in on her prey quickly and tackled the other girl into the snow. Rachel struggled mightily for position, almost slipping out of Faith's hold, but her girlfriend grabbed her wrists and straddled her, cutting off her escape.
"Now..." Faith said, as menacingly as possible. "Yer gonna regret sooo much about the last five minutes... Lover."
Rachel wriggled like a caught fish. "Never!" She gasped, even though the snow was extremely cold, she felt warm with Faith pressed so intimately against her, and wrists bound by the other girl's tight grip.
Faith didn't answer, instead opting to take a handful of loose powder and let some of it drift down onto Rachel's face, grinning as she spat and grunted, twisting her hips under the other girl's weight. Faith hissed as the contact suddenly became unbearably delicious, her lover all red-faced and gasping beneath her. She lifted away a little. "Don't start what ya can't finish, babe, least not out here anyways." she smirked, lightly shoving some snow in her girlfriend's face, before standing up.
Rachel glowered at her, brushed the snow away, then reached for the hand Faith offered to help her up, and roughly pulled her back down on top of her. "You got snow up my sweater." she pouted, glaring, flipping her and Faith's positions so she was on top now. "And haven't you learned by now, I always finish what I start?" She added, leaning in close till their lips were barely touching.
"Damn Rach, that so ain't fair." Faith breaths, winding her finger through Rachel's long brown hair, pulling her in for a heated kiss.
"Mmm, how about we finish this in the comfort of my nice warm bed, hmm?" Rachel asked.
Once they were up and out of the snow, they started making their way towards the front door. "I'm sorry I threw a snowball in your face." Rachel said smiling.
"No, ya ain't." Faith accused, giving her girlfriend a pointed look.
"Well...not great deal. But some." Rachel said, reaching out as Faith drew level with her and grabbed her hand, interlacing their fingers. "But on the positive side, any outdoor activity earns you hot chocolate."
"It better." Faith smirked, bumping Rachel's shoulder lightly, causing her to slip, but Faith was quick to grab her before she fell.
"Thanks love." Rachel said, still holding onto Faith, trying to get her footing back.
"No prob, I got wicked fast reflexes." Faith replied smiling at her girlfriend.
"Ouch, the snow was really scratchy and wet, I need to go change." The other girl whines, pouting.
Faith smiled at how adorable her girlfriend looked, giving Rachel a light slap on the ass, before pecking on the lips. "I'm sorry I tackled ya in the snow."
"No you're not!" Rachel accused, glaring.
"Nope." Faith opened the door to the house and let Rachel lead her in. "Not even some." She chuckled, closing the door.
They walked up the stairs to Rachel's room to get out of their cold wet clothes; the brunette opened the door, and went over to her dresser to get her and Faith some clean warm clothes to change into.
"Even though you're unapologetic, I still love you." Rachel told Faith lovingly, as she helped her get undressed. "Here are some warm clothes for you to wear, until we get the rest of your stuff at your house."
"Thanks baby, mmm, these feel so good. "Faith said, wrapping her arms around the other girl, nuzzling her neck.
"Mmm" Rachel groans at the feeling. "Nope, sex later, movie now. You promised." She pouted.
Faith grumbled, "You and that damn cute little pout a yers, gets me every time." letting go of her girl, so she could set up the movie they were going to watch. "Anything but Funny girl or Les Miserable's, they're great movies an all Rach, but we've watched 'em like twenty times already, and personally, I'd like ta only remember Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Hows about a comedy type movie or somethin?" Faith asks from her spot on the bed.
"Fine, but that's only because you're a geek at heart, and you use to have a crush on him." Rachel huffs, glaring at her girlfriend. "How about…. Bring it On?"
"Alright, believe it er not, I really do like that movie." Faith admits.
Giggling, Rachel puts in the DVD, and hops on the bed next to Faith, cuddling in close and laying her head in Faith's lap. The movie starts, and Faith begins running her finger through Rachel's hair, then lightly scratching up and down her back.
"Mmm, that feels nice." Rachel moans, wrapping one arm around Faith's waist and the other under her head on Faith's lap.
They're watching the movie, and it's at the part where the cheerleading squad needs to find a new member and this badass looking girl named Missy comes in killing the competition. At that moment, Rachel turns her head in Faith's lap, and looks up at her, then back at the screen several times, a contemplative look adorning her face.
"What?" Faith asks amusement evident in her voice.
"Well, I was just thinking that you bear a striking resemblance to the Missy character.
Faith cocks her head, looking at said actress. "Yeah, I guess, but I got a better personality and I'm way hotter."
"Ok, you've got me there, but you do sort of look like her." Rachel giggles, laying her head back down on Faith's lap, nuzzling her stomach, before turning her head back towards the TV screen to watch the rest of the movie.
"Well, ya know, you kinda remind me of the hot blonde cheerleader, all bossy and shit." Faith says snickering.
"What!? I am nothing like her!" Rachel whines. Faith can tell even without looking at her girlfriend that she's pouting.
Faith nudges Rachel until she rolls over to look at her, "So are." she adds playfully.
"No! She's an annoyingly bossy blonde know it all that her teammates severely dislike. If anything, she resembles Quinn, not me." Rachel states distastefully.
Faith just makes a clicking noise with her mouth adding more fuel to the fire. "That is you, ya know, just not the blonde part."
"So you think I'm an annoying, bossy, brunette know it all?" Rachel says through grit teeth, tremendously hurt at what her girlfriend is implying.
"Don't do that. I was just teasin ya. I love you Rach I didn't mean ta hurt yer feelins." Faith concedes, hoping to get herself out of the hole she seems to have unknowingly dug herself into.
"Fine, I won't argue, but I'm still upset with you." Rachel grumbles. "And for some ungodly reason, I still love you, though sometime I do wonder why." She teases.
"Good, now can we finish the movie?"
"Yes" Rachel huffs, going back to her previous position of using Faith like a giant body pillow before they started bickering, until the green eyed monster makes an appearance. "Do you really think Kirsten Dunst is hot?" Rachel sneers in an unsavory tone.
Faith laughed at her girlfriends tone. "Are you jealous?" she counters playfully.
"I asked you first."
"No, I don't think she's anywhere near hot. I'm partial ta brunettes myself." Faith smirks, quirking an eyebrow.
"Good answer." Rachel says leaning up to give Faith a chaste kiss. "And yes, the thought of you finding someone other than me attractive made me slightly jealous." Rachel grumbles.
"Only slightly?" Faith asks. "Cause ya seemed out right "I'm gonna reach in the TV and kill the blonde bitch" jealous ta me." She adds, laughing until Rachel pinches her thigh. "Ow, damn!" she squeals.
"Ok fine, you're right, but can you blame me? Your mine and I won't ever give you up again, not without some sort of altercation." Rachel confesses.
"Ya weren't pissed when ya found out I had a crush on Wolverine." Faith points out.
"Yes, well, that's because he is a fictional character."
"So does that mean I can hang up a giant poster a Vamperilla in my bedroom?" She laughs, when Rachel slaps her really hard for asking that question.
"No, you very well may not!" the other girl hisses through grit teeth.
Deciding to quit teasing her girlfriend, Faith holds her hands up in surrender. "Ok, I won't, I was just kiddin anyways."
"For your sake I hope you were, because I would have torn that slut's poster down faster than you could blink, sweetie." Rachel fake smiles.
Faith kissed the top of Rachel's head and started scratching her back again. "I love ya Rach, yer just too damn cute when the green eyed monster gets ahold a ya." Faith smiles a genuine dimpled smile.
After making up, they continued watching the rest of the movie in a comfortable silence. Rachel had ended up falling asleep during the movie, so Faith gingerly untangled herself from her girlfriend, as not to wake her, and went to turn off the TV. Faith picked the other girl up, moving her to her side of the bed, then slipped back into bed, covering them both up.
Rachel groaned and stretched, groggily rolling over to lie partly on top of the other girl. "Mmm… Hey love. Sorry I fell asleep." She apologized, slipping her hand under the bottom of her girlfriend's top, so she was touching bare skin. "But with you scratching my back, I couldn't help but succumb to the pull of sleep."
"It's alright, ya looked too cute ta wake up, I tried movin ya as gently as I could, sorry fer wakin ya." Faith said chuckling a bit.
"That's ok; I tend to wake up when I don't feel your arms around me anyway." Rachel admits blushing, tucking her head in Faith's shoulder, wrapping her other arm tightly around her waist.
Brushing a lock of Rachel's hair behind her ear, then lightly running her fingers down her cheek, Faith kisses the other girl on top of her head. "Yer too cute, y'know. Goodnight Rach, love ya." She breaths, snuggling more into her girlfriend's embrace.
"Goodnight my love, sweet dreams." Rachel replies, closing her eyes and kissing Faith's shoulder before falling into a peaceful night's sleep.
