Six days later was when Tina was heading to her class with a huge grin on her face. She and Mike had skipped class because Mike had promised her to take her eat donuts. He also said how he always kept his promises and she teased him that it wasn't true. So the previous day Mike texted Tina he would come and pick her up. Little did Tina know that when she got into his car he had completely different plans than he seemed to have.
********Flashback*********
"Mike? This isn't the way to school" noticed Tina five minutes after she had gotten into his car.
"I know silly. Who said we're going to school?" he grinned but Tina looked at him confused so he explained "You say I don't keep my promises. I 'm proving you I do. I'm taking you for donuts" he smiled and Tina frowned.
"We're skipping class?" she asked and he laughed.
"Yeah why? You should be happy"
"I've never skipped class" she admitted and Mike looked surprised.
"Seriously? Then you should be definitely happy. Live a little" he teased her and she smacked his hand making him laugh out loud. Fifteen minutes later they reached their destination. It was freezing cold outside so Mike hugged Tina to warm her making her smile. When they got into the coffee shop they ordered their donuts.
"Which do you want?" he asked and Tina thought about it a little bit.
"The one with chocolate" she smiled and took out his wallet.
"Two donuts with chocolate" he ordered and took some money out handing it to the cashier.
"Mike what are you doing?" asked Tina pointing at his hand.
"Oh come on there's no chance you're paying for it" he stated smiling at her. She pouted and he kissed her cheek.
"Fine" she murmured and he chuckled. He took the donuts and gave one to Tina. They sat at a table near the window. Tina took a bite f her donut and gasped.
"Oh my god this is so damn good" she pointed out and made Mike laugh.
"I know where I take you" he took a bite of his donut too.
"Sure you do" answered Tina.
"So you're missing school?" he teased her after minute of silence.
"I still feel kinda bad but I don't quite regret it"
"That's great to hear. See? I always fulfill my promises"
"Yeah you do" Tina looked inside his eyes. He looked back at her admiring her beautiful black hair with the pink strikes.
"You want one more donut?" he took his gaze away and asked tried hard to swallow.
"Oh no I'm full thank you" she answered smiling. They talked for a long time about different things. About their families and their dreams. Their fears or hopes. Mike suddenly reached for his mobile phone and looked at the hour. So did Tina. Time had passed so fast.
"So you ready? You wanna head back to school?" he asked seeing her worried face.
"Yeah sure" she answered and they both got out of the coffee shop and made their way to the car. As soon as they reached school they got out of the car and entered the school. Before taking separate ways Tina turned to face Mike.
"Thank you very much for today" she sad in a sweet tone.
"It's nothing Tee. It was my pleasure" he answered and after Tina gave him a kiss on the cheek she headed to her locker.
*********End of flashback**********
When Tina got in the class she sat down and opened her notebook cheerfully.
"Where have you been?" she heard Kurt's voice behind her.
"Why are you in my class?" she asked confused but Kurt ignored her question with a wave of his hand.
"You didn't answer my question. You never skip class"
"I was with Mike. He promised me to take me for donuts and he fulfilled his promise" explained Tina with a grin on her face.
"You're spending too much time with him lately" noticed Kurt but he got cut by the teacher's voice.
"Mr. Hummel what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your own class?" With that Kurt took off but not before giving Tina a meaningful look. She just shrugged and looked away. Kurt was right. All those days Mike and Tina were inseparable. They spent time together day and night talking, laughing, watching movies and ordering Chinese. At school they were always walking around the halls together chatting or just holding hands. They both seemed extremely happy. In glee club they were sitting next to each other and dancing together.
"So I think you've been skipping your goal" said Mercedes at lunch.
"What do you mean?" asked Tina although she already knew what her friend was about to tell her.
"The whole point of this fake relationship was to make Artie jealous and have him back so you won't be miserable anymore. Then you claim that you have feelings for Mike and that this whole relationship might not be fake from your part. Yet you don't do anything to change this fake status and make it real.
"So?" asked Tina trying to sound cool.
"So you and Mike make a great job pretending to be lovebirds but I think you've forgotten about telling you it's not acting for you anymore"
"It's just… I don't know. It's so weird. Mike makes me feel so good"
"Then get together and problem solved"
"What if he doesn't feel the same?" asked Tina pouting. Suddenly she felt two hands around her and lips on her temple.
"Hey babe" she heard Mike's voice and smiled. Mercedes gave her a meaningful look. Mike used to call her babe even though supposedly they weren't together despite the fact they both wanted to. But they wouldn't admit it. Not yet.
"Hey handsome" answered Tina and pecked his lips. Kisses were also allowed in this fake/real relationship. Tina's heart would still beat like crazy every time Mike's lips met hers and Mike's hands would always find their way to her face and hair.
"How are you Mercedes?" asked Mike politely.
"Fine you know… just chilling out" she responded with a smile.
"Good" he said and then turned his face to Tina "So… how about taking my girl somewhere nice tonight?" he suggested and Tina's eyes widened a little bit.
"Where?"
"Uh oh surprise" he teased her and she smacked his abs. As soon as she felt his six pack she shivered and turned her face away cause it was getting WAY RED. She hoped that Mike didn't notice.
"So it's a deal? I'll pick you up at eight?" asked Mike and Tina nodded. He just smiled and before he went away he kissed her hair.
"Ok it's not normal don't you see it? I mean which fake couple goes on a date on Friday night?"
"Us?" asked Tina but seeing Mercedes' look she added "We're just having fun. Time passes so fast and well when I'm with him" she admitted. Mercedes didn't comment further her friend's declaration. After lunch Tina was walking to her next class when she heard a voice from inside a class.
"Help please?" It was Artie. She decided to go and see what he wanted.
"What's going on?" she asked entering the classroom and Artie's eyes light up.
"I need something I can't reach" he explained and Tina rushed to help him. In the back of her mind she noted that it was the first time they've been together alone since the day she told him to move on. The day she and Mike gave their first kiss. The day that rocked her world. As Tina looked the floor she saw a mess. It seemed like Artie had already tried to get what he wanted unsuccessfully and he had thrown like everything on the floor. Looking again at Artie she kept a neutral face.
"Which one do you want?" she asked and reached to catch the one he pointed at. She then stooped to put the rest of the things in their previous position. Artie tried to help her and for a minute she thought it was kind of him to help her. But then Artie's hands found the back of her neck and pushed her face towards his. As a result Artie's lips locked hard with hers. Tina's eyes widened for a moment but after realizing what was going on she pushed him away and slapped him.
"What the hell woman? What are you doing?" asked Artie caressing his cheek.
"What are YOU doing Artie?" whispered Tina unable to shout at him.
"I told you I won't give up on you" he confirmed simply looking into her eyes.
Tina didn't respond. She shook her head and quickly exited the classroom. She entered the girls' bathroom and there was when tears started to run down her cheeks. She was waiting for this damn kiss so long. Yet she felt so confused about it. It really surprised her. It made her happy too because it was a proof that Artie really wanted to be with her. Yet it was awkward. Mike's kiss felt… well nothing like Artie's. In Mike's kiss she could feel the heat rising in her body. Artie's was more simple… and forced. Tina decided to stay in the bathroom for the rest of the hour. She tried to fix her ruined makeup but more tears started appearing in her eyes so she gave up and just lay on the floor with her head in her hands. When she heard the bell ring she stood up and looked herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red.
"Fuck" she thought and tried to calm down. As she got out of the bathroom she received some curious looks from a couple of cheerleaders but she ignored them.
"Okay what's going on with you? You've been to class only one hour today" she heard Kurt come near her as she opened her locker. Tina didn't answer and Kurt took her face in his hand turning it so he could look at her. Seeing her red eyes he hugged her tight quickly.
"Tina sweetie what happened?"
"Artie kissed me" answered Tina and Kurt's eyes widened. After a minute Mercedes joined them and she looked as shocked as Kurt did.
"Ok we have a big problem here" stated Mercedes and Tina rolled her eyes.
"Oh really? Big news"
"So let me get this straight. From having Artie then breaking up with him then being with Mike to make Artie jealous then starting having feelings about him you get to have him AND Artie on your knees fighting for who is gonna be your boyfriend because they're both crazy about you? That's a great progress girl" pointed Kurt and Tina turned to look at him.
"Ok clearly this is all in your mind. We don't even know if Mike likes me like that and the fact that Artie kissed me doesn't mean he is CRAZY IN LOVE with me again or something"
"You're slow girl. You don't understand anything. First Mike is SO obvious. It's like he's screaming Tee I want you mineee or something like that. Like it's written on his forehead. Second Artie kissed you. Some time ago he didn't even give a shit about you. Which means something has changed. And what changed is that he understood –late I know but still- that he wants you by his side. Results: Mike Chang begging on his knees for you, Artie Abrams begging on his knees for you aka fight between those two for you. Simple"
"Okay you've lost it. Like seriously" Tina tried to ignore him but something inside her told her that Kurt wasn't that wrong. His words really made sense after all.
"So what are you gonna do Tina?" asked Mercedes and Tina shrugged.
"I don't know. I really don't know" she said after taking a deep breath. From the corner of her eye she saw Mike talking with his friends. Their eyes met and he winked at her. She gave him back a weak smile. Again this warm sensation filled her body making her shiver. It was like his eyes pierced hers making her not wanting to look at anything else but him. And then Artie's face popped into her mind and erased all the warm feeling Mike had just transmitted her.
"What on HELL am I gonna do?" thought Tina feeling the most desperate person in the world.
