The Bond That Ties ch. 10
My head is pounding and my mouth taste like it's been stuffed with a bunch of cotton balls as my whole body aches especially my back but the last thing that I want to do right now is get up since this blanket that I'm laying on is warm and comfortable. I was about fall back to sleep when I feel something poking into my lower back and I was about to ignore, attempting to move away from it only find myself unable to as something holds me in place. I open my eyes instantly regretted as the sunlight peeks through the blinds to realize that I'm still at the Puckermans specifically Puck's room as the walls are covered with Sports Illustrated posters. I can't remember how the heck I got in here but quickly checking to see if I had a drunken one night but that thought was soon dashed as I'm still wearing the clothes from the previous night before turning to face who's in this bed with me.
I pray to God that it wasn't the Mohawk jock or my ex boyfriend as I shift carefully to come face to face with one Broadway obsessed nerd turned jock Rachel Barbra Berry which I guess that it's improvement from the previous options. I take closer at the sleeping girl that she looks peaceful when she asleep and not running her mouth about some musical or whatever as much of what happened last night except me explaining to Finn why I had broken up with him in the first place. I remember someone swooping in and putting him in his place or on the ground, everything's hazy then I'm reminded of something hard now poking my thigh to look down to see that the nerd's sporting a prominent bulge in the middle of her skinny jeans. I'll admit that I may or may not have overacted a little by pushing the tiny diva out of the bed as she falls hard from the sound of it, groaning loudly as I look over the edge of the bed to see her, rubbing her head pitifully causing me to feel bad.
The singer looks up at me before pushing herself off of the ground and disappearing into the bathroom then returning to place some Advil in my hand along with a bottle of water which I gratefully take as she looks at with worry and concern in her eyes. I was expecting Rachel start running her mouth but she surprisingly stays quiet before putting her shoes on, letting me know that she'll let Mercedes know where I'm at as a part of me didn't want her to go which is really weird. The next thing that happen catches me off guard as the basketball player presses a lingering kiss on my forehead before pulling back slightly, smiling softly as she walks out of the room without another word, confusing me the hell outta of me. I plop down onto the bed, closing my eyes in hope's that sleep would come but after laying there for a good ten minutes, I knew that it was pointless when the door opens slowly to see my sister walking like a zombie.
She plops down face first into the bed, groaning loudly before slowly shifting over to make room for her which she moves further onto the bed and after a couple minutes of silence, I knew that my sister had fallen asleep. It was long before she's snoring up a storm as this is familiar as we used to share a room when we were younger as the diva's snoring would keep up at night, begging my parents to allow me my own room. They would tell me that I would miss sharing a room but I didn't see how as I didn't understand with my kid brain although now that I have a room of my room of own, I find myself missing the fun times that we had, staying up giggling and talking about girl things. It wasn't long before my sister's snoring lulls me to sleep until Puck kicks out cause his mom was coming back earlier than expected and needed to put the house back to the way that it was.
Thankful I was feeling better than I had this morning thanks to Rachel taking care of me but Mercedes still hung-over as she moans about her headache and her stomach as Santana and Brittany weren't faring much better as I knew that it would have been better if I drive everyone home. The ride was silent for the most part as I thought that the two thirds of the Unholy Trinity had fallen asleep in the backseat until Santana asks something that catches me off guard before looking at her through the rear view mirror.
"What was that, Lopez?"
"I asked if my sister made you less of prude. I mean the way that you stuck to her lips all night and nearly cut a bitch for making out with hers before disappearing for the rest of the night. I assumed that ya'll did the deed"
"I DID WHAT?!"
"Ngh, too loud Quinnie" Brittany moans miserably.
"Sorry Britt but I didn't sleep with Rachel… at least I don't think that I did" I said frowning.
"What the hell do you mean you don't think?" Santana asked frowning. "Either you did or didn't cause I swear if you hurt my sister in any way I swear to god that I'll-"
"She was fine when we woke this morning fully clothed but I don't even going upstairs with her last night" I said frowning.
Santana lets out a sigh relief but there's a bit of my memory that's fuzzy and the only one that has the answers had left before I could even ask my questions but I will have answers. I drop Mercedes at home and Santana at Brittany's since she'll end up at some point before driving towards the Berry-Lopez residence, pulling up to Rachel and Hyori in the driveway using the basketball hoop attached to the garage. I park my car on the curb before walking towards when both basketball players turn to me as the diva smiles slightly as her teammate excuses herself to gives us some privacy by going inside.
"Are you feeling okay? Any lingering hangover symptoms? I could get something if there is or would like something to eat along I will have to warn you that I don't have a experience cooking animal byproducts since I'm a-"
"I know that you're a vegan, Rachel. I remember you constantly taking about that one documentary on farm animal" I said cutting her off.
"It's nice to know that someone other than my family listens to me when I speak" Rachel said smiling happily.
"That's why not I'm here and I know that you know that so cut the bullshit" I said glaring at her. "What happened last night? Why and how did we end up in Puck's room?"
Rachel sigh quietly before turning to face the hoop then takes the shoot as the ball sails through the airs follow going through the hoop, turning her attention back to me as she motions for me to follow her to the front porch. She sits on one of the chairs then gestures to the one across from her which I'm surprised that she didn't want me sitting down next to her before taking the offered chair before explaining me that she was the one that defended me against Finn. The tiny diva tells me that clung to her for the rest of the night, playing Truth or Dare along with finding out that I nearly rip one of my Cheerio's a new one before laying claim on her as the drunker that I got, the more handsy I got. I let Rachel upstairs with the intention to… I don't think that I want to know I had intended to do but thankful the smaller girl had put a stop to it before it went too far and the both of us doing something that we'll be end up regretting in the morning.
The small jock had tucked me into the bed with the intention of sleeping on the floor before I told her if she wasn't planning on sleeping with her then she was going to at least lie with me. My cheeks burn from embarrassment because it makes sense but I'm glad nothing had happened cause I don't think that I could handle losing my virginity soon and ended up pregnant out of wedlock. I look at Rachel, smiling gently because I'm glad that it was her that I woke up to because it has been anyone else than they would have had no problems taking advantage of a hot cheerleader drunk off her ass. I'm sure that she had drunken just much as I had that night but somehow managed to hold onto her morals as I know that she's does find me attractive but would lay a hand on me without my consent.
"Why didn't you tell me when you left?"
"You have made it perfectly clear that you don't like me very much and I didn't think that what happened last night was something that you would want to remember" Rachel said smiling sadly. "I chalked anything that you might have as the ramblings of drunk people to not be standing seriously so I figure that it would be better to keep quiet"
I didn't know whether to be thankful or insulted by what had just been as I stand up suddenly, walking around the table in front of the basketball player who's looking up at me with a confused look on her face. I take her face in my hands as I know that if I didn't do this now that I would lose my nerve and chicken out as I fuse our lips together and it happen, it was a barrage of fireworks going off at once and a string quartet was playing in the background. Rachel lets out a surprised gasp as I slowly pull back to her eyes were still close, lips puckered as I lean forward to peck those pink lips a few more times before pulling back as soon as the front door open to reveal Carlos Berry-Lopez in floral apron. The sight is disorientating because he always carried himself with a macho aura so seeing him like this is very weird as the police officer looks between the two of us before smiles warmly at he recognizes me.
"Quinn Fabray, what a sight for sore eyes. How have you been? Are your parents good?"
"It's nice to see you again Mr. Berry-Lopez and I have been good. My parents are well, I'll let them know that you asked about me" I said smiling politely.
"Please call me Carlos, I've known you since you and my girls were small" Carlos chuckles. "Are you staying for breakfast?"
"Thank you for the offer but I think that I should be going as I'm sure that my parents are waiting for me to show my face. Bye Rachel" I said waving.
"B-Bye Quinn" Rachel said waving dumbly.
I bring my hand up to my lips where Quinn's had touch as I know that this isn't the first time that she kissed me but it's the first that she did while being sober as I don't know if this is a sign that things are moving in the right direction. They are certainly looking up.
"What a nice girl" Papi said heading inside as Hyori comes outside.
"Are you sure that it's okay not telling Blondie that she try to give you a hand job?" Hyori asked raising an eyebrow.
"I wanted to tell her but what good would it do if she knew" I said running my hand through my hair.
"Well I guess, not like anyone else knows about it other than me and I'm not about to go spreading that around" Hyori said shrugging her shoulders.
"I want Quinn for more than just her body and I want to get her to see that I'm more than mine's. I just want to make her happy and now that's Finn out of the way, it makes things more complicated"
"More complicated how?" Hyori asked raising an eyebrow.
"Now that the quarterback/head cheerleader are no longer an item, every guy in the entire school has a shot to ask her out"
"Knowing that it makes all the more easier to become her friend while she's beating all these guys off with a stick" Hyori said wrapping her arm around my shoulders. "You can be that listening ear that she could complain to"
"Do you honestly think that it'll work" I asked not impressed.
"Have I let you down yet?"
"Well no but-"
"No buts, you're Rachel Barbra Berry and you got this"
