Santana and Brittany strode towards Quinn.
"Sorry Dino, we were instructed to do a body check."Santana announced with a rare defeated look on her face, her hands across her chest.
"What?"Quinn almost spited her drink.
"Yea, Charlie said you're our prime suspect to smuggle in drugs. With all that fur and all…"Brittany chipped in. Quinn rolled her eyes in annoyance when she spotted Puck smirking at the corner of the room. Quinn threw a dirty look at him. It was obvious that he wants the girls to "touch each other". Not that it matters, now that Quinn was in this awkward, stuffy reptar costume that Brittany got for her when she apologized. But still….
She shifted uncomfortably.
"God, I'm a Reptar, I don't do drugs."
Brittany shrugged helplessly. "Just doing our job."
Quinn perked a perfect eyebrow, questioning. "Since when are you part of the Charlie's Angel? I have the impression that you're a swan."
"Well, I'm not a Charlie Angel. I'm a Charlie's Black Swan." Brittany grinned, as though stating the obvious. "Hi, I just got recruited." Santana smiled affectionately at the girl and her eyes was so soft that she could melt a rock. Quinn swallowed the laughter at the tip of her tongue. Santana was a total goner for Brittany.
"I'm aware we have a dog to do that drug sniffing thing if you're persistent..."Quinn shrugged playfully and her eyes trailed to Mercedes. Mercedes lifted her hand like a Diva and her eyes rolled to the back of her eyelid.
"Sorry green thing, I'm a pet dog, not a police dog."She sniffed as though to make her point and Quinn laughed.
"Speaking of that, the boy-who-unfortunately-lived, can you transform me to something glamorous, like Beyonce or something. Life as a dog kinda suck." Mercedes took a slip from her cup and switched her attention to Mike. Mike turned to Tina and they shrugged in synchrony. The look on their faces were epic.
"Sorry Bull, I've tried to transform Ginny..."Mike's voice trailed off. "...and I tried to transform Charlie's Angel no. 2..." Mercedes eyes swam across to Sam and Kurt. Sam looked so awkward in his Hogward's uniform, he fidgeted uneasily beside Quinn. Kurt, in his shinning silver coat, pink wig and with wings behind him, did a Queen's wave when he heard his name. The two of them were a total contrast.
Mercedes gave them a grateful scowl. "Thanks for the heads up witches."
Quinn laughed to her drink. She was surprised that she was beginning to enjoy herself, after what seems like eternity. Sam draped a lazy hand over her shoulders. "You looked happy."He said sincerely and Quinn felt a pang of guilt. She was so consumed by her pain that she had been painfully neglecting Sam's feelings the past few days. Her laughter slowly dissolves into a beaming grin. "I am."
She was happy. The fact that she's enjoying seeing the Glee kids teasing each other. The fact that she have not attended a party for so long. And the fact that Rachel was going to turn up as a white swan. She tried to prevent a smile from spreading across her face. She could not wait to see her in her costume.
"Where the hell are the White Swam and Ms Angelica?"
Quinn's eyes darted to the clock. It's another hour to midnight and Rachel and Frankenteen were not here yet.
As though on cue, a knock on the door made Quinn's heartbeat quicken. "Here she is, my white swan!"Puck excitedly skipped to the door and swung it open. He choked on his saliva when he was face to face with Finn instead. Finn scowled. "Gosh Finn, you could totally scare me to an erection with that." Puck coughed. Finn walked in awkwardly, pulling along a petite brunette. Puck gasped, and so did the rest.
"That scare was totally worth it."
Behind him was a stunning Rachel in white furry ballerina costume, showing off her perfect squared shoulders and God, her waist! Her already huge eyes were further enlarged by her make-up. She walked in apprehensively, gaze on the floor, unusually shy.
Puck cat whistled and Rachel blushed. Even Santana was humming at her with approval. Quinn's eyes traced along her tone legs before they disappeared into the costume and felt herself literally watered at that sight.. Rachel was breath-taking.
"I helped her with that!"Kurt called out from the corner of the room. Quinn was so engrossed with Rachel that she felt herself consumed, oblivious to the world. Was it weird that Rachel seems to move in slow motion? Her eyes anchored themselves onto her and made no intention to drop. And when Quinn met Rachel's eyes in silence that lasted just a second longer than it should have, she felt herself weaken and dropped her cup. "Shit."She cursed under her breath and Santana smirked loudly. Quinn felt a blushing crawling up her face.
Why was it suddenly so warm?
When the excitement and awe finally died down, Puck clapped his hand to grab everybody's attention. He cleared his throat. "Alright kiddos. Welcome to Puck's Puckerlicious Party. There are only 2 rules for today. When you're under, near, around the mistletoe, you kiss whoever that is near you. At 12 sharp, you kiss whoever that is near you. If you adhere to these rules, I can guarantee you, you will have the time of your life." With that, he pulled out what looked like mistletoe and stood beside Brittany. Almost all the glee kids rolled their eyes in irritation. Brittany excitedly pasted a kiss on his cheek. "I'm around the mistletoe!"She chirped and Santana scowled. Puck beamed in delight. "See what I mean?"
"Alright, as we wait for Santa's fat ass to roll through my door, shall we have a little fun?" Puck beamed innocently and the Glee kids frowned at that smile.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
Puck spun the bottle.
"God, no!"He groaned as he looked up to the other end of the bottle."It's Ms freaking big Angelica!" Finn hung his head low and scowled. He had so far been kissed by Kurt and Mike. Must all the guys take turns to mock at him and his costume? Mercedes gave a loud laugh which made both Puck and Finn sulk even further. Puck reluctantly plunged a light kiss on Finn's cheek which he wiped it off in disgust. Rachel patted his hand in comfort and Quinn felt a small part of her sore at that touch.
"Okay, let's up the chips. Whoever who got appointed next by fate will have to lock tongue for at least 10 seconds." A round of small grumbling erupted through the group. Kurt lifted his finger and was about to object before he was stopped by Puck. "Owner's rule." Kurt's shoulders slumped and whined softly. Puck grinned, secretly hope that he would finally get to see Quinn and Rachel getting down on each other. Quinn and Rachel were the only ones yet to be kissed anyway. He prayed silently.
Quinn and Rachel looked up and found each other. They tore their eyes away, embarrassed to be caught. "Here we go!"Puck spun the bottle again and everybody's eyes followed the bottle as it swirled in almost slow motion. Quinn's body tensed as she watched the bottle.
One round...two rounds and... Kurt heaved out a sigh of relief.
Finally, it stopped.
Puck gasped.
And so did Quinn and Rachel.
Brittany clapped her hands in delight.
"Yes! I always wanted to make out with Quinn!"Brittany cheered and Santana glared in rage at Puck. "But I still love you the best."She whispered and Santana's glare soften at her words. Quinn gazed up and saw the same horrific expression on Rachel's face. Quinn choked down a small squeak in the back of her throat.
She did not want to kiss Brittany in front of the Glee kids...Hell, she only wanted to kiss Rachel if she will have to admit.
"Come on Quinnie..."Brittany chirped and crawled slowly and seductively towards her. Quinn forced out a chuckle, even though she was starting to panic. Puck cat whistled and Kurt brought his hands to his eyes, mumbling, "God, I cannot see another lesbian kiss. My oesophagus is going to burst with lesbian love."
Quinn leaned back as Brittany approached closer and closer. Rachel stared, her chest tightened with sharp jealousy. This was totally unacceptable! Quinn's eyes darted to Rachel unconsciously and back, as though pleading her to do something.
Brittany was just inches away from her lips. Quinn then took a deep breath like she was about to dive underwater. Rachel's heart raced inside her as the scene proceed. The others, except herself, Santana and Kurt, leaned forward in anticipation. Every coherent thought in her head just went gibberish on her. She panicked.
She had to do something...anything.
Her eyes glanced to her drink and the electric socket beside her. A lightbulb flashed in her mind.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
"What the hell?" Puck shouted as the lights were cut off without warning.
"Puckerman, did you pay the bill?"
"Of course I did."
"Quinn?"
"Then what is this? It's almost time for countdown!" Mercedes groaned.
"Damn I missed my kiss!"
"Puck, if this is not fixed by Christmas your Mohawk will be gone for good."
"But Santana, Christmas is in...5 more minutes!"
"OMG, is that Santa's way of surprising us?"
"Who the hell is touching me!" Kurt screamed and the rest jumped in shock.
"Shit! I thought you were Rachel!"
"Damnit it's going to be midnight soon. Are you Kurt?" Sam questioned.
"I'm over here!" Kurt echoed from another corner of the room.
"Thank God."
"Rachel? Can somebody turn on the lights?"
"Shut up guys! It's 30 seconds to Christmas!"
XOXOXOXOXOXO
Rachel panted as they finally slowed to a stop. She dropped Quinn's hand awkwardly. "Well...erm... Sorry, I just thought..."Her face warmed with her blush. God, she had no explanation. Quinn felt her face lifting to a smile. Rachel looked so adorable and she fought the urge to cuddle her.
"It's fine you know. I wanted to get out of there too. Black Swan is not exactly my kind of diet."She joked and saw Rachel relaxed considerably. Comfortable silence slowly overtook them.
It had been so long since it was just them again.
"You looked good though."Quinn broke the silence. Her eyes roamed around Rachel and a familiar warm swelling inside her.
Rachel looked up, startled, and instantly forgot how to breathe when she felt herself boring into a pair of breath-taking hazel eyes. She dropped her gaze and tried to ignore the double over in her stomach. Her head ducked shyly. "Thanks, you looked good too." Quinn laughed at her comment. "God Rachel, how can anybody look good as a Reptar?" A menace flashed across her face. Rachel's eyes widen as she glanced up to Quinn's. She whispered, "Quinn Fabray can."
They stood there as time froze, lost in each other's eyes. The unspoken misses and feelings consumed them so badly that they felt hollow inside.
"10!"
"9!"
"It's going to be Christmas soon..."Quinn murmured under her breath, eyes still swimming in Rachel's.
"8!"
"Yea..."Rachel breathed out.
"7!"
"And you know about Puck's rule..."Quinn bit her lips. Rachel's body went rigid the moment she realized where this conversation was leading to. Her heart pounded rapidly against her rib cage.
"6"!"
"Oh yeah...his rule..."Rachel took a step closer to Quinn, apprehensively. Her throat muscles rippled as she swallowed her saliva.
"5!"
"... how serious he is about his rules..."Quinn added and closed the gap between them. Quinn could almost breath her and her heart skipped a beat at that thought. Her hands twitching to reach out to her.
"4!"
"I know...he's totally obsessed with it." Rachel agreed, taking another small step. They were into each other's personal space and Rachel wondered if Quinn was able to hear her heartbeat.
"3!"
"I think we should not let him down...it's his party afterall."Quinn leaned forward and their body finally met each other. They felt a jolt of electricity through their veins at the contact.
"2!"
Quinn wrapped her arms around Rachel and lowered her head. Just when Rachel thought her heart cannot beat any faster, she was so wrong. She felt like she could fly at her touch. But Quinn was holding her, keeping her grounded with her own body. Rachel closed her eyes, anticipating the moment.
"1!"
"Merry Christmas Rachel."Quinn whispered and her breath brushed across her lips. Rachel shivered inside her at that warmth.
Then the world screeched to a stop.
Their lips met and nobody moved for awhile, contented just to feel each other's lips. It had been too long. When their mouth slowly parted, they moved in a familiar synchrony. Quinn felt an unwanted jolt of arousal when Rachel's tongue swiped across her lips. She wanted to feel it again, so she kept her mouth tight against Rachel's, refusing her access. And when Rachel's hot tongue traced her lips knowingly, Quinn moaned into her. Quinn eased herself closer to Rachel and their whole body melted into each other- chest to chest, hips to hips, thighs to thighs, yet it was still not enough.
When the tip of their tongue finally contacted, fireworks ignited.
They were full again.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
A blonde pulled a little girl along the walkway as her eyes dropped to the piece of paper on her hand. Her sister's handwriting sometimes... She shook her hand.
"Are we there yet..."The girl grumbled and stomped her feet.
"Yes sweetie. It's just in the front."She pointed. She wanted to bring her daughter there before midnight but the little detour took up much of their time.
"Mommy!"The girl exclaimed in horror.
The blonde frowned. "What the matter sweetheart?"She asked.
"Look! The T-Rex is eating!" She shouted, a horrific look on her face as she pointed.
The blonde trailed her eyes to the source and a warm smile spread across her face.
"Sweetie, that's not eating. That's loving."She laughed.
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Anyway, I found out I'm nothing without you
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Merry Christmas! (: Hope all your wishes come true!
