AN: So, yes the song is from Empire. Yes I totally saw this week's episode, saw the performance and was like yes that's it. So here it is. Yes the song is You're so beautiful by the Empire Cast. Damn these songs are good, and catchy and they get stuck in my head far too often. Glee should have done more original songs.


"I bet you were expecting excitement, not Charlie being busy with making connections and having to meet all these 'important' people." Rachel says as she takes a seat in Brittany and Santana's VIP booth. She smiles at them, and looks over at where Charlie is talking to someone a smile on her face as she shakes another person's hand. "Part of her job is making sure that the new artists that signed with the label feel like they're important and what better way than to do it at her launch party," Rachel explains.

Brittany pouts as she watches Charlie, "She's leaving in a few days Rachel, her album drops on Tuesday, and she's super busy these days." Far too busy, she'd been flying all over the country doing interviews getting her documents in order for her world tour promoting her new album like crazy. "She barely has time to talk to us anymore, is this what it's going to be like when she goes on tour?"

"It's difficult when Quinn has to go to different locations to shoot and I have to stay here because I have obligations. It's really difficult at times, sometimes the time difference is hard on us, and we just miss each other. And you wonder of course, well I do. I think about whether Quinn misses me, and then when she doesn't pick up her phone right away, I wonder what she's doing or who she's with. But it's part of the job and the career. Quinn loves to act and Charlie likes having her music heard and performing for the fans. It'll be easier for you guys though, sometimes I don't get to see Quinn in person for long periods of times. You're basically going to see Charlie twice a month sometimes more. So it won't be that bad."

Santana grumbles and watches Charlie for a moment, she hasn't even looked up at them. Instead she's been kissing people's asses all night. "Does Quinn ever not call? Like does she get so busy she just forgets about you?"

"Sometimes she doesn't really get breaks during the day it's just non-stop and I'd rather her grab something to eat and keep her strength up than talk to me. Some days it's a bit of a whirlwind. Radio interviews, talk show interviews. Doing some public signings, doing some very public charity work. Doing surprise visits and occasionally showing up and surprising a group of people, and still having to do a sound check, practice, and then go on stage and perform. That doesn't mean that she's forgotten you." Rachel smiles and locates Frannie who seems annoyed with Quinn.

Santana sighs and looks at Brittany. It was Charlie's launch party but they hadn't seen much of Charlie throughout the day. She had needed to leave super early to do a talk show first thing in the morning and it had been one interview after another promoting her new album doing teases throughout the entire day. She hadn't even had time to get ready with them which was half the fun of going to these events. The moment that they had arrived she had given them both a quick kiss on the cheek and introduced them to a few people before being pulled away by Russell to meet some of the shareholders. One of them had brought his bratty nephew to the event. Then it had been different artists every time that Charlie had a moment alone, people bombarding her with requests and talking business not to mention the gratuitous photo taking. "Do you think she'll at least make time for us when we come visit her?"

Rachel smiles as she watches Frannie pull away from Joe and follow Quinn as they go and collect Charlie, "I think that you don't have to worry about Charlie being too busy for you. She already has the worst track record when it comes to dealing with the media. She does things when she wants to. So she'll probably blow off a few interviews just to make time for you."

Brittany nods and frowns as Quinn pulls Charlie away from talking to Artie, "Rachel? What are they doing?"

"Performing together. It never happens not really. Quinn and Charlie occasionally team up but Frannie? They must have some sort of blackmail on her. Frannie doesn't perform normally at all, she thinks she's above that." Rachel points out as Charlie heads to the baby grand piano that is in the club.

Brittany blinks and she sees Charlie look up at them and motions for them to come over, and join her as her fingers hit some familiar notes. Immediately Brittany lights up and looks at Santana grabbing her arm. "Santana—she's playing it." An incredibly stripped down version of the song with just a piano backing.

"Ladies and gentleman, can we get a round of applause for my sisters who after much prodding, a bit of begging, downright bribery and a hint of a blackmail have agreed to do this song with me." Charlie says into the mic her fingers hitting the keys as the music plays. She grins as she glances at Frannie and Quinn who have mics and she can definitely hear her mother squealing and pulling out her phone to record this. She shakes her head and nods at her sisters as she counts them in. This is mostly for Santana and Brittany and she turns to locate them but they have both left their VIP booth. She finds them approaching the makeshift stage. "You're beautiful."

Sometimes you feel insecure
Trust me babe I understand
Even with no manicure
Just know that I'll still hold your hand

Quinn looks over at Frannie and nods at her helping Frannie along. Rachel enjoyed hearing her sing and had insisted on giving her lessons so they could do duets together. Frannie on the other hand could sing well enough that harmonizing with the rest of them wasn't completely out of the question, and she knew for a fact that Frannie actually did like this song. She had seen it on Frannie's iPod. Harmonizing isn't the trickiest part of the song Charlie dominates the vocal range hiding any imperfections that Frannie might have. She meets Charlie's eyes and nods as she sings her own solo with Charlie switching to backing vocals immediately.

You're so beautiful (shake it, shake it)
Give the world a show (move it, move it)

Charlie quickly stands up a bit, moving her body doing the dance slightly as her playing picks up and she notices Brittany and Santana being helped onto the stage by Puck and she grins at them giving them a small wink as she sings the next part.

Go up down, up down, up down
Go up down, up down, up down
Shake it fast, it's yours

Santana pulls Brittany to Charlie who shifts so they can be on either side of her and she gives them each a quick kiss on the cheek. "Sing with me," she mumbles quickly as she breaks out singing the next verse of the stripped back song.

Girl you so perfect underneath the surface

You got a smile like the sunshine

You keep it sexy, your shoes are Giuseppe

You got me tongue tied

Charlie says finishing her chorus as she looks at the people on the stage and nods that it's time for the hook, it's a stripped down version of the song and they sing the song one more time together. She's pleasantly surprised that Brittany can sing to. Even if her voice isn't necessarily a powerhouse like Santana's.

You're so beautiful (shake it, shake it)
Give the world a show (move it, move it)
Go up down, up down, up down
Go up down, up down, up down
Shake it fast, it's yours

The song finishes with Charlie playing a little piano solo at the end as the entire club breaks out into cheers. "Give it up for Frannie and Quinn Fabray everyone." Charlie says into the microphone. The applause gets louder and Charlie laughs into the mic pulling back and looking at Santana and then Brittany. She turns to Brittany, "Sing with us?" Charlie asks surprising Brittany all together.

Singing with Charlie was Santana's thing but she looks over at Santana who nods as Charlie moves the song into a once again stripped down version of, You Make Me Feel. She's not a hundred percent sure what part to sing so she sings along with Santana. The crowd is screaming for them and Brittany relaxes a bit as Charlie joins in and they sing the song together.

You make me feel so
La La La La La

Charlie grins as they finish the song together before once again switching gears and it's then that Santana realizes that they're going to go through Charlie's entire album together. All fifteen songs, as they sing Cross My Heart Next, followed by My Immortal.


Two days. That's all that Charlie had left before she was kicking off her tour. Her album was dropping and already the reviews were pouring in from critics who had gotten their hand on Charlie's new album. Charlie was already struggling with the balance of the tour and them. There were very few texts during the day. Not even when Charlie was being shuttled between places. She even had an official body guard now. They even had a new driver because Puck was busy actually working. The fans were camping out and she was being swarmed by fans signing autographs and taking pictures. She barely had any room to breathe. It bothered Brittany to no end, more than she thought it would. She knew that it was part of Charlie's job that didn't mean that it didn't suck. Charlie hadn't even eaten dinner with them, they were lucky to see her before midnight only for her to be gone first thing in the morning.

Brittany sighed as she closed the fridge. Santana was busy at work and she had just finally wrapped up with Dani. She had a rare moment to herself in the apartment and she felt a bit lonely. Everyone was busy right now and that sucked. She was about to text Rachel to see if she had any free time when the door opened and Charlie slipped in closing the door, with a huge sigh. "Charlie?"

Charlie turned to Brittany in surprise, she thought she'd get about an hour to just close her eyes and rest. She was exhausted and the tour hadn't even started. "Brittany? What are you doing home?" Charlie asks smiling at her as she moves to approach Brittany, who doesn't really smile back at her.

Brittany huffs, of course Charlie forgot. "I told you I had the day off today. Remember yesterday? When you came home?" Charlie gives her a blank look and Brittany lets out an annoyed huff.

"I think I was dead on my feet when I came home, I'm sorry Britt. Things have been—hectic," Charlie explains running a hand through her hair. She smiles at Brittany but Brittany seems considerably more interested in making herself a sandwich. "Britt?" Brittany ignores and Charlie sighs and crosses the room and enters the kitchen and wraps her arms around Brittany. "I'm sorry."

Brittany sighed and put the knife down and turned in Charlie's arms to look at her, "Is this how it's going to be when you leave? Are you going be too busy for us? Even when we do visit you?"

Charlie shakes her head, "No once the tour starts it becomes easier and I'll still be busy but I won't have a million people trying to tell me things. What are you wearing, which guitar brand do you want for the tour. We need you to produce someone's music before you go." Charlie bitches slightly. "It's like getting ready for a trip, there's a lot of stuff to get done. A lot of people who want me right now but the moment you get on the trip it becomes easier. But I made sure that there is at least two hours scheduled for you and Santana every single day. I tried to go for four hours but they laughed at me." Charlie said kissing Brittany gently. "And the days that you and San are going to be there, my days are basically cleared. I mean I'll still have to do a show and stuff but my days and after the shows are scheduled for you and Santana."

Brittany kisses back and pouts. "I'm going to miss you Charlie," she says quietly.

"I'm going to miss you to Brittany," Charlie said with a smile. "You and Santana, I wish you two could come with me. I'm going to miss sleeping with you," Charlie admits. She loathed sleeping alone and she was going to be force to for four months.

Brittany smiles at this and kisses Charlie deeply for a long moment, "And the sex?" she says with a mischievous smile.

"Oh god, I'm going to die without the sex," Charlie says with a groan now that Brittany's reminded her. Sure it had been cut back with how busy she was but they still had sex at least five to six times a week.

Brittany kissed her again deeper this time unbuttoning Charlie's button shirt as she did, "How long do we have?"

Charlie blinked, she had never had sex with just one of them before. "Fifty minutes," Charlie said immediately as she pushed back against Brittany gripping her waist as she pulls her closer to her. It had never taken her long to get hard and she was standing at attention now. It's just enough time to get out a few orgasms between the two of them. She doesn't have time to thoroughly dominate Brittany. Not to mention the fact she is exhausted. But she quickly unbuttons her shirt enjoying the feeling of Brittany touching her and groping her breasts. She kisses Brittany hard only pulling away to pull Brittany's shirt off as she roughly palms Brittany's breasts.

It's her pants that go next as she quickly steps out of her yoga pants kicking them to the side as she grinds herself against Charlie's dick and Charlie grips at her hips tightly. It's the roughness that is turning her on as Charlie breaks their kiss and bites the area where her shoulder and neck meet giving her what she imagines is an impressive love bite. She moans and grabs Charlie's shirt. "Charlie," Brittany manages to get in a breathy moan. "Remember, you need to go harder than that—" She's cut off by Charlie letting out a low annoyed growl and pulling away from her. She blinks slightly confused only to have Charlie turn her around pressing her against the island in the kitchen keeping her tightly. She shivers as Charlie presses her body against hers and gives her yet another love bite this time on her shoulder. There's the sound of Charlie's belt being unbuckled and the sound of Charlie's zipper.

Charlie at least has the wherewithal to check if Brittany's wet enough for what she wants to do. She's rewarded with a healthy amount of Brittany's wetness and she quickly guides her dick in and pushes into Brittany with a hard thrust. She lets out a low groan, Brittany has always felt tight around her dick. "Fuck."

Brittany grips the edge of the counter as she feels the quick hard thrusts from Charlie. She moans and quickly begins to move her hips grinding against Charlie's hips every single time they crash against her ass. The feeling of Charlie's dick slowly sliding out of her and the attention that Charlie is giving just her. "Charlie. Fuck. Charlie, harder. Please. Fuck me harder," Brittany begs.

Two hands grip Brittany's waist and for once Charlie just gives Brittany exactly what she asked for pushing Brittany against the island roughly as she moves her hips faster, pounding Brittany hard and without an ounce of restraint. It doesn't take long for her to feel Brittany's pussy tightening around her dick and Charlie groans but keeps on going. "Cum." Charlie says hissing in her ear. She curses under her breath as Brittany's body tenses and she feels Brittany's pussy spasm against her dick. It doesn't stop her as she continues to fuck Brittany through her orgasm.

There was nothing soft and gentle about this particular act and Charlie isn't holding anything back. It doesn't take her long for Charlie to push her again and she lets out a guttural moan as she squeezes the edge of the island tightly. Charlie fingers tighten around her hip and she feels Charlie slowing down slightly, there's an immediate rush of warmness as Charlie cums inside of her and she shivers at the feeling. Charlie slowly pulls out of her and she slowly lets go of the island turning around and kissing Charlie again hard. She wanted more at this moment in time. "Charlie I—" she begins when she hears Charlie's phone go off. It's definitely Puck's ringtone. She frowns their fun for the day is over. She sees Charlie make a face and she kisses it. "Can we do this again?" Brittany asks as she runs her hand along Charlie's dick getting it hard again as Charlie lets out a low groan.

Charlie, "Definitely." Charlie promises kissing Brittany. Her phone continues to ring and she makes a face. "What?" she hisses at Puck as she pulls on her pants. Charlie grimaces at the fact that she's hard and she needs to zip them up.

'Dude you need to get laid.' Puck says immediately in his usual easy going tone. 'You need to get here or we're going to be late for your meeting.'

Charlie grumbles and looks down at her hard dick and sighs, "I'll be down as soon as possible," she grumbles as she looks at Brittany who has gone back to making a sandwich. She pulls on her shirt and buttons it quickly and adjusts herself and zips up her pants after she finally goes soft. She waits until Brittany finishes making herself a sandwich before she steals it and leans up and kisses Brittany before she can say anything. "Thanks Brittany, I love you. I have to go."

"Charlie!" Brittany yells after her dominant who laughs as she runs out of the door. She rolls her eyes at Charlie's antics but smiles that's her soulmate. Her soulmate who just stole her sandwich, she grumbles and starts again.
