Chapter 10
Quinn steps into her apartment to see Kairi, Santana and Brittany watching some show on the T.V. She walks up and sits on Kairi's lap giving a quick kiss.
"Ugh, PDA much?" Santana jokes. Kairi leans in again, kissing Quinn hard before smirking at her cousin.
"Nice flowers Q" Brittany comments seeing the bouquet the other blonde was holding. Kairi looks at it before looking back at Quinn who was now sitting next to her.
"Thanks Britt though I don't know who they're from" Quinn reasons out taking the card and giving it to her girlfriend. Kairi takes the card and reads it.
"I hope we'll be able to get together in the future. Secret Admirer" Kairi reads out loud scoffing at the message, Santana taking the card and reading it with Brittany.
"Kairi looks like you've got some competition going on" Santana laughs amused with the person who dared to send flowers to Quinn.
"It seems like it. I wonder what I can do to them once I find out who they are" Kairi jokes but with her dark voice that would send shivers down anyone's body. Santana nods in agreement. It was in their nature to become possessive over their other half, one characteristic the two Latina's shared.
"San, what would you do if someone sends me flowers and ask me out on a date?" Brittany ask, curious. Santana raises her eyebrow already picturing the poor victim.
"First I would find out who they are, meet them, threaten them to back off and if that doesn't work, I can always follow through my threat which will cause them trauma" Santana smiles evilly and laughs seeing Brittany's scared and amused expression. The blonde leans in kissing Santana gently.
"PDA much?" Kairi remarks using the same phrase Santana used on them. Santana just glares at her after she pulled away from her blonde. "Ow!" Kairi exclaims after getting hit by Santana but snickers all along. They start to argue leaving their blonde girlfriend and fiancée to shake their heads when Quinn remembers the party.
"Oh yeah, I have this party tomorrow night with my office friends and I want you three to come along" Quinn says, stopping the argument between the two Latina's. Kairi nods immediately followed by Brittany then Santana. A party would be nice for a change.
Quinn takes Kairi's hand in hers as they walked to the club where the party was being held. She sees some of her office mates before walking to Rachel Berry.
"Hi Quinn, I'm so glad you came" Rachel says happily. Kairi eyes her up after seeing the twinkle in the short brunette's eyes when she greeted Quinn. Quinn lets go of Kairi's hand to hug her co-worker.
"Of course I'll come. You don't mind me bringing someone right?" Quinn gestures to her three companions. Rachel smiles brightly.
"No problem at all Quinnie. Are they your friends?" she asks, studying the three women.
"Well yes. Actually this is my" before Quinn could finish Rachel interrupts, shaking hands with Kairi, Santana and Brittany.
"Nice to meet all of you. I'm Rachel Berry, Quinn's partner" Rachel proudly claims, getting a subtle glare from Kairi.
"I'm Brittany and this is my fiancée Santana" Brittany gestures to them, Santana giving a small wave.
"And I'm Kairi, Quinn's girlfriend" Kairi says, wrapping her arm around Quinn's waist in a territorial manner. "Nice to meet you" she adds, feeling Quinn's hazel eyes on her.
"Oh, I didn't know Quinn has a girlfriend. Quinn, you never told me you were in a relationship" Rachel says innocently. Kairi frowns, her grip on Quinn's waist loosening as she takes in Rachel's words. "Every time we talk about how our love life is, Quinn wouldn't say anything and walks back to her office, so we all..I mean, I assumed she was single after she and Noah broke up" Rachel adds making Kairi let go of Quinn's waist and just then Noah walked up to them.
Oh great. Why not make it worse? Bring the ex-boyfriend here so that we could talk. Kairi thought loathingly. Quinn looks at Kairi who was avoiding her while she smiles at Noah.
"Noah have you met Quinn's girlfriend yet? Did you know she has a girlfriend?" Rachel asks once Noah was standing beside her. The man smiles at his ex before turning to look at Kairi who was looking at him with blank expression.
"Yeah, we met already. Come on ladies, the party is just about to start" Noah escorts them to a table just as the party starts. Kairi subtly studying Rachel's interaction with Quinn. At one point, Rachel does this overly friendly way of holding Quinn's hand, Kairi lets it go then Rachel does this smiling like a love sick puppy at Quinn, looking at her with adoration in her eyes that just irked Kairi before she excuses herself to go outside. She didn't look at Quinn's worried look as she walked across the club to get to the backdoor and sighs in the breeze that hit her.
Okay, yes, Kairi's not much of a jealous type but once someone's eyeing her girlfriend she will not tolerate it. AT ALL. And that damn Berry got the nerves to flirt with my girlfriend when she knows she's clearly TAKEN! Her phone blasts and she takes it angrily.
"Kairi Zoldyck" she tries to calm her voice since she didn't look at the caller id.
"Whoa, mija, what got you so angry?" Kairi hears her mom's voice and relaxes a little.
"Sorry mom…it just that someone sent Quinn a bouquet of roses earlier and now a friend of hers is flirting with her. I'm just pissed" Kairi explains getting a laugh from the woman.
"Oh mija, you are just like me, getting all jealous but I do believe you got some your father as well"
"Did dad call you again?" she says knowing her dad wanted to be a part of their family. Yeah, too late for that.
"Yes, he's wants to meet you tomorrow. He's in New York for a few days and wants to see you"
"Why didn't he call me himself?" she asks getting a bit irritated.
"Well, I told him I'll ask you first before he can meet you. He's really persuasive so try and listen to what he has to say, okay mija?"
Kairi thought about saying no before rolling her eyes. Might as well get this over with once and for all. "Okay mom, tell him to give the details for tomorrow. I got to go, I need to check if Rachel's doing something to Quinn"
"Okay sweetie. Love you. Take care okay. Tell the others I said 'hi'" Kairi hums in recognition.
"Bye mom. Take care. Love you too. I will" she hangs up before walking back to the club and to their table just to see Rachel snaking her arm down Quinn's back. She rolls her eyes, before she could walk back to them, her phone vibrates. She looks down to see a new text message from an unknown number. She opens it quickly and reads her dad's plan for tomorrow. She types a quick 'okay' and resumes walking to the others. Quinn sees Kairi walking back to them and untangles herself from Rachel to let Kairi wrap her in her arms. Quinn sighs when Kairi did just that, this is where she belongs.
"Where have you been?" Quinn whispers loudly enough. Kairi tightens her hold on the blonde before answering.
"I needed air" she pause, buries her head on Quinn's shoulder, kissing the exposed skin. "My dad wants to see me tomorrow" she adds. Quinn looks back at her to see a blank expression on her face.
"Why?"
"I don't know" Kairi shrugs. "Come with me tomorrow?" Quinn nods her head before kissing Kairi softly.
"I should've known he wants to meet me at a place like this" Kairi states getting of the car and seeing a posh hotel. Quinn looks at the building to see what Kairi meant. She looks back at her girlfriend for some answers, Kairi reading her easily. "My dad likes to show his status" Kairi states flatly, walking up to Quinn's side and taking her hand. "We should go inside, he's probably there waiting for us and the sooner we finish this, the better" Quinn nods and they walk to the front doors. Quinn's breath was taken away when she sees the chandelier hanging above them, the marbled floors and the amazing paintings on the wall.
"Ms Zoldyck?" a woman around her 30's smiles at them. Kairi nods and they follow the woman through the lobby and to a room away from the busy lobby. "He's been waiting for you" she says before going back to the front desk. Quinn looks at her girlfriend, seeing the scowl and frown on her face, she leans in and kisses her. Kairi smiles instantly, her frown gone as she gazes at Quinn.
"I'm here okay?" Quinn caresses Kairi's cheek in a comforting manner before opening the doors to see a man, intimidating man, sitting on the leather chair, looking up at them and smiles. Quinn somehow sees the resemblance of Kairi's smile on her dad.
"I was hoping you'd show up. You brought a friend with you I see" her dad says standing up.
"You don't mind right? Or else I wouldn't even be here" Kairi answers rather coldly. The man shakes his head, gesturing them to sit. Kairi leads Quinn to the chairs and takes her hand immediately after they are seated. "And Quinn's not my friend, she's my girlfriend" she adds seeing her dad in shock at the revelation. "Let's get this over with. Tell me why you wanted to talk to me" Kairi says, snapping the man out of his shock state.
"Kairi I wanted to talk to you. Know about you. You're 26 right? It's been 21 years" he says with a sad smile. Kairi glares at him but relaxes when Quinn squeezed her hand.
"You wouldn't miss anything if you didn't leave us" Quinn squeezes her hand again to comfort her girlfriend. She knew the story and knows how much it hurts Kairi just remembering it and now, here they are, across the man who caused all the hurt.
