Spence and Joe Berry were sat on the sofa drinking a bottle of wine
"It's nearly 9 o clock Spen, where on earth could they be?" Spence turned and kissed his husband he probably would have continued kissing him had the door not burst in and the two men turned towards the door and laughed as a group of weary teens made their way in through the door
"Did you leave anything in the mall?" Spence teased the group of exhausted looking teens. After a round of greetings
"Dad, Daddy we're going to head down to the basement and chill if the boys come by can you please tell them we love them but they simply are not welcome today" Rachel told them as she and her friends made their way downstairs.
It was some hours later, there chips and dips, ice cream and chocolate and a multitude of assorted candy treats were strewn across the basement, Kurt was sprawled across a beanbag painting Mercedes' nails a dark red colour, Quinn was laid on her front looking up at the giant flat screen TV that was playing Grease, Santana was studying the back of the various empty packets and muttering something about how she'd have to move into the gym in order to work off all the calories, and Rachel and Brittany were curled up in an arm chair. They were all exhausted from their day shopping and their wallets had taken some serious beatings, and then Kurt had insisted they go see the new romantic comedy and then Brittany had wanted ice cream and during the ice cream pit stop Santana had confessed that she and Artie had kissed which had sparked ooooohs and ahhhhs, she'd told them his promises that he was going to woo her and then she'd pulled a piece of paper from her purse and began to read
""The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that's what you've given me." "I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul and to me, this has always been enough." She paused and smiled at the faces gazing wondrously at her "San, I'm not great with words but you love the notebook so I borrowed some of the words, and yes this is me wooing you". Her friends had gone crazy oohing and ahhing. Now back in Rachel's basement, Kurt pulled his gaze away Mercedes' hands
"Santana Lopez if you do not stop reading that damn note I will burn it" he laughed as Santana froze and quickly folded the paper up and slipped it back into her purse, her friends giggled "So Miss. Lopez if you and Mr. Abram's are once more that means you no longer need Mike do you…." He trailed off and started blushing.
Quinn started to grin and turned to face Kurt "Mike?" she asked innocently
"Operation Chanel" Brittany voiced her thoughts out loud and then as everyone turned to face her "ooops I forgot it was a secret" and she hid her face into Rachel's shoulder
"Operation what?" Kurt screeched
"Chill Beyonce" Santana drawled "Mike thinks your cute and you" she looked at him pointedly "you may be the gayest thing I've ever seen but you've never been kissed have you?….so you and Mike could…" she raised a perfectly groomed eyebrow and looked right at him and suddenly let out a filthy cackle as she saw Kurt turn beautiful shade of red and his gaze settled on a dark corner somewhere trying to ignore his so called friends around him.
The giggling (from the girls) and huffing and puffing (from Kurt) eventually subsided, it was strange the glee kids had been friends but recently they were really starting to feel like family.
"Guys" Rachel called out breaking the silence "I was thinking about songs for sectionals and I think we should do seasons of love" this suggestion was met with immediate approval
"You know if we're talking about songs then I have a suggestion" Santana said leaning forwards "but I'm not sure what you'll think but Kurt and Rachel sang it a few years ago at a show and it was seriously awesome" she stopped to look at Rachel's face which was rapidly starting to resemble a Cheshire cat
"Stop talking in riddles Diva's" Mercedes said with a snap of her fingers
"Don't Dream It Be It" Santana said simply. "Rocky Horror Picture Show, I know costume wise we cant go the whole hog but that song is slamming". Kurt squealed and jumped to his feet and started pacing muttering ideas.
"Which leaves one more song" Quinn said thoughtfully "you know I think we could do creep, get Artie and Puck on the guitars and its beautiful"
"Done and done" Rachel said excitedly "we should get some sleep and then tomorrow run ideas then Monday we can speak to .
It took a while but eventually they all dropped off and slept so soundly they didn't even hear when the boys turned up around 4 in the morning to deposit a small box in the letterbox
"Thanks guys, for helping out with this" Artie said as Matt returned to the truck
"No problem dude" he replied.
**********Next time we see Tina return and we find out what was in the box***********
