Pink Doesn't Taste That Great Chapter 10
RPOV
"Oh come on Berry, seriously stop fidgeting Tony is going to love you." Quinn said looking taking my hand with her free hand.
Things have been weird the past couple of days though in my mind I hadn't decided if it was a bad thing or good thing yet. After Quinn and I had our conversation in her room she took her first shower in a very long time then we went downstairs for dinner with her mom. Things between them were as tensed as they were with Quinn and I; maybe everyone just needed time to adjust, or at least that's what I'd like to believe. The weirdness hadn't been just with Quinn and I but I didn't know how else I should explain Santana and Brittany talking to me.
Flashback
School was almost over and I sat there wishing the time to drag along faster. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I knew it could only be one person.
Can you come over after school? – Q
I read the text twice then looked around to make sure Mr. Schuester did bust me for texting in Spanish. I saw Mike looking my way and when he realized I caught him he gave me a goofy grin and making me smile and went back to his book I smiled back then typed a quick reply to Quinn.
Sure, I've been collecting your homework assignments for the past couple of days so I was going to come over anyway. – R (p.s Glad to see I got you hooked on something you claimed to be "lame")
Her reply came instantaneous.
Oh man I'm suspended, don't I get a break? – Q (p.s shut up you are the only person I do it with)
Quinn Fabray the very notion that you assume that because you aren't in school that you have been excused from school work is beyond me. Not only will you be doing your assignments but I will be right there with you while you do them to make sure and I myself will be taking them in. – R (p.s I guess this makes us both lame)
I looked around to make sure no one was looking when I waited for her reply.
You're no fun at all. What are you doing? – Q (p.s I guess we are)
I'm in Spanish – R
What color vest is Mr. Schue wearing today? – Q
I laughed out slightly causing the people nearest to me to look around.
"Is there something you would like to share with the class Rachel?" He asked
"No Mr. Schuester." He looked at me with his eyebrow raised and turned back to the board talking to the class.
You almost got me in trouble Quinn. And it's brown today – R
Sexy – Q
That's disturbing Quinn, I have to go he's getting suspicious I'll see you in a bit – R
Can't wait – Q
I was about to place my phone back in my coat pocket when I felt it vibrate again.
Be safe Rach – Q
When I arrived at Quinn's house she ran out the door and up to me.
"Oh thank God I was beginning to think I was the only person alive." She said hugging me tightly
"Since when are you so melodramatic?" I asked walking to the backseat.
Quinn stood there pouting at me as I handed her my backpack and took the books out.
"Bite me Berry." She replied
"Oh such witty comebacks." I said walking up to her front door. She stopped and turned to me with an eyebrow raised and that evil smirk on her face. "I may have been intimidated by that smirk once upon a time Quinn but it doesn't scare me anymore."
She smiled brightly. "Good, I don't want you to be afraid of me."
I smiled back walking into the house. "So what's up Fabray, why did you want me come over?"
"Well I'll answer that question but we gotta wait for some guests."
I stopped suddenly in my tracks, stiffening. Quinn turned around to catch my facial expression.
"Not those type of guests silly; it's only Santana and Brittany." She said holding my hand
"That doesn't make it any better." I complained
"Oh whatever don't worry Rach I won't let anyone hurt you again ever. Besides I bet you'll love what's going to happen tonight."
I looked at her skeptical and she pouted again and squeezed my hand.
"Please, for me?" She pleaded
"Fine." I breathed as someone knocked at the door jumping me
"Speak of the devil and her angel." Quinn murmured running to the door.
"Okay we're here, what do you want?" Santana asked walking into the house with Brittany. They came to stand by me as Quinn closed the door and joined us.
"Well Rach, San, Brit I am going back to blonde and you three are helping me.
"Yes!" Brittany said pumping her hand triumphantly. We all looked at her questioningly.
"What? I love the pink hair and I'm glad you're taking showers again Quinn but I want my awesome Quinnie back and she was blonde."
"I missed you too B." Quinn said wrapping her arms around her friend holding on tight.
"Okay enough of this for me. Rachel and I will go get the stuff set up while you two hug it out. It's a good thing I keep the bleach in my car" Santana said motioning for me to follow. I looked over my shoulder to Quinn who was still caught up with Brittany.
"Come on Rachel, I don't bite." Santana urged leading me to Quinn's bedroom.
End of Flashback
QPOV
"RACHEL." I yelled she spaced out a while back and I hadn't been able to get her attention. "Berry." I pinched her and her face snapped towards mine.
"Why'd you do that?" She asked rubbing her arm
"Well you looked like you were catching a stroke or something. I've been calling your name for a little over 5 minutes now to tell you that we're here."
She straightened up looking around. "Okay I'm nervous."
"It's going to be fine Rach." I said reassuringly
She scoffed "Easy for you to say he's met you already." She mumbled reluctantly getting out of the car.
I raised an eyebrow. "Stop being so dramatic Berry."
We walked to the entrance of the bar when she stopped sudden and looked at me.
"By the way if I looked like I was having a stroke why did you pinch me?"
I shrugged my shoulders "Swing and a miss?"
"Something is seriously wrong with you Quinn."
I held the door open for her knowing she'd be greeted by Skye standing at the bar.
"Yay the hot chick is back." Skye smiled from behind the bar.
"Shut it Ramirez. I swear your mouth will get you in trouble one of these days."
"Whatever Fabray doesn't make her any less hot." She smiled in Rachel's direction who smiled back shyly.
"You are so fucking lame." I said
"Must you two always fight?" Tony asked walking out of the kitchen towards us.
"Where would be the fun without us fighting?" Skye asked
Rachel looked tense so I grabbed her hand rubbing circles to calm on her palm to calm here. She looked over at me and smiled shyly.
"It's okay." I whispered leaning in to her.
"Forgive these two. You must be the infamous Rachel Berry." He held out his hand to shake hers. Naturally her hand slid from my own and she took his smiling brightly as he led her to a booth.
"Hey Skye give me 2 beers and a soda for Rachel."
Fixing our drinks she looked at me.
"I love your new hair Q."
"Old hair depends on how you look at it." I shrugged sitting on a bar stool
"Almost makes you look innocent."
"Ha Ha very funny Skye, I don't give you shit about your hamster tattoo."
She looked at me slightly angry and I smiled. I could hear Tony laughing loudly so I thought to myself things must be going well with them.
"You leave chewy out of this, he was a good hamster." She said "So what's the deal with you and sweetheart over there." She nodded in Rachel's direction.
"What? Nothing we're friends."
"Uh huh I believe that shit." She said sarcastically handing me the drinks.
"We really are." I replied my frustration growing
"Whatever, get your sexy ass over there she looks nervous as a mofo."
I laughed taking the drinks to the table.
RPOV
"You must be the infamous Rachel Berry." The man said holding his hand out to mine. I took it shaking his as he led me over to the nearest booth.
"So Rachel, Quinn told me she explained everything to you." I nodded "Well I'm not going to ask you if you have a problem with it but –"
"Can I interrupt you for a second minute Tony? I care about Quinn, I really do and because of that I will trust her judgment but I will be honest and please don't take any offence to this but if Quinn is harmed in any way I will not be pleased and I don't know if she's told you but an angry Rachel Berry isn't good for anyone."
Not taking my eyes off him I watched as his facial expression went from shocked to unreadable in 3.5. I got scared not knowing exactly what to say or do to make this better; but then he laughed. Seeing the surprised look on my face made him laugh harder than before and his face turned ever redder.
"You are either really bold or really stupid girl." He said seriously. Fear bubbled in me and I knew I stepped in it.
"I'm s-"
"Don't apologize but let me ask you something. Do you know how many people would speak to me like that?" I shook my head. "No one, Quinn is stubborn and I do spoil her but she would never speak to me that way. It's refreshing to have someone do that without worrying about what I'll do to them. Here's the deal, I can tell Q cares about you and after your little threat I know you care about her and that's great she needs someone like you in her life."
Just then Quinn joined us at the table with drinks in hand. She gave Tony a beer, then placed a soda by me.
"Why did you get Tony 2 beers?" I asked
She sat next to me looking astonished.
"This is mine." She replied disbelievingly
I took it from here. "Quinn Fabray, you are not driving me anywhere with alcohol in your system."
"But Rach-" she pleaded
"Don't you 'but Rach' me. You aren't even 21." I chastised. Skye snickered loudly from behind the bar. Quinn sneered at her.
"Shut up Skye." She muttered grabbing my soda
"I like her Quinn." Tony said smiling as Skye handed me another soda and slid in next to Tony taking the beer.
She snickered at Quinn again when their phones all alerted them of messages. Three BlackBerrys were whipped out and seriousness crossed all their faces.
"Shit." Skye and Quinn said in unison.
"Rachel, can you do me a favor?" Tony asked looking at me calmly. I tensed and Quinn took my hand.
My tension eased slightly and I nodded.
"Let your parents know you won't be home tonight."
Yeahhhh she isn't going home tonight. I wonder why...hmmmmmm Well reviews get me to update quicker #justsaying. Time to am the story up a bit though so next chapter will have in a Faberry moment. (that is if you guys review of course)
