"Are those Santana's keys?" Quinn asked wide eyed
"Yep. Do you want Chinese, pizza or Breadstix? Im hungry and I'm sure its going to take at least an hour for them to talk their stuff out. How did she know to come here anyway?"
"Breadstix Santana is obsessed with their bread sticks. She text me wanting to hang out because Britt had a family thing, I told her I was here. She came over to make sure I wasn't being held hostage or something else ridiculous. I think she's actually proud of the way you handled Azimio and Karofsky. How did you get her keys?"
Rae snorted. "I called her a coward before stealing them."
"And you're still breathing?! Rae Berry I am impressed."
Rae snickered before popping the painkiller that she should have taken during glee.
"Here," Rae thrust the Breadstix menu at Quinn. "Order what ever you want, an extra order of bread sticks for Santana along with whatever else she wants and the ones that are circled are what Britt and I always order. Money is on the counter to cover it. I need a shower. I didn't really 'wash' all the grime off me earlier before my mini breakdown."
Walking in to the bathroom, Rae struggles out of the sling and attempts to unbutton the shirt before giving up and just pulls it over her head. After turning the water on, Rae sighed in relief as the hot spray hit her aching muscles. Slowly Rae washes away the sweat and traces of blood from her face and body and gingerly washes around the stitches before painfully washing her hair. Once done Rae just stands under the spray enjoying the hot water beating down on her back. Feeling the water begin to cool, Rae sighed and turned off her shower and got out. Slipping on the black silk boxers and matching pj pants she had left on the counter. Rae brushes out her hair and makes a mental note to ask Britt to re-do the shave of the undercut. Pulling on a black beater, Rae exits the bathroom and is immediately engulfed in a bone crunching hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.." Britt murmurs over and over as she buried her face in Raes neck.
Rae looks up at the approaching footsteps and sees Quinn in the doorway to her bedroom wearing a small smile.
"Santana has gone home but is coming back with a change of clothes. Looks like you have the Unholy Trinity bunking here tonight Berry."
Laughing softly Rae turns her attention to the taller girl in her arms. "You know I would do anything for you Britt." Rae began softly. "I love you Duckie you are my best friend. Who else would I go chasing after, to get to the end of a rainbow to find the pot of gold and a leprechaun with?... hmmmmm?"
Hearing a watery giggle Rae smiles and nudges the taller blonde to wrap her legs around her waist and walks out into the living room holding the taller girl effortlessly. Sitting down gently on the couch, Rae runs her fingers through Brittanys hair. "Besides, Duckie," Rae breaks the comfortable silence softly "I know you are madly in love with her so I fully expect you to keep her from killing me seeing as I had to call her a coward to get her stay and talk to you."
"Oh Rae you didn't?" The bubbly blonde gasped absolutely horrified.
Rae shrugged and winced at the movement "It worked didnt it?"
"What am I going to do with you Rae-Rae? You know..." The blonde trailed off looking up at Quinn who was trying hard not to giggle at the two friends and winked before continuing "I'm going to miss you when you are gone. I'll visit your grave everyday with Lord Tubbington, and we will bring you fresh flowers." Britt finished solemnly before dissolving into a fit of giggles when Rae shoved her onto the couch and began pouting.
Huffing Rae got up and walked to her kitchen and grabbed a bottle from the six pack of Pepsi she had bought at the store on her way home. Still pouting Rae looks over to Quinn and notices her body trembling in the effort to suppress her giggles.
"Go ahead Quinn. Laugh. You are going to hurt yourself by holding in your laughter." Rae sighed as walked away from the kitchen. A small smile graced her lips when she heard Quinn's tinkling laughter.
"I'm sorry Rae. I couldn't resist." Brittany apologized after finally gaining control of her giggles. "Let me make it up to you with back massage? I noticed that your back is as hard as a rock, and that cant be helping the healing process of your shoulder."
"Sounds great Britt. Besides you know that I can never stay mad at you."
Quinn picked up her phone as it vibrated notifying her of an incoming text. "Santana is going to pick up our order from Breadstix and should be here in the next 10 minutes."
Nodding in acknowledgement Rae walks into her bedroom and falls face first onto her bed. Feeling the bed dip slightly Rae simply points to the beside table knowing that Brittany was going to ask where the special oil that she got from her Sensei was. Brittany had been giving her body massages ever since she found out that the tiny guard had been getting more active in her martial arts. The bubbly blonde was explaining this to the head cheerleader as she helped Rae remove her beater. Britt motioned for Quinn to come over and watch as she poured a small amount of oil between her hands and rubbed them together to warm them up. Britt then began at
the base of Rae's spine slowly rubbing her thumbs in circles and applying pressure in all the right places feeling Rae's spine pop. "Harder" Rae grunted out once Britt reached her mid back. Laying her hands flat on the pint sized girl Britt pushed and Quinn heard a distinct pop -pop sound. She was alarmed for a second until she heard the low groan of satisfaction that Rae let out. Laughing softly Britt cracked the rest of Rae's back before working on the knots. Once she was done with all the major knots Britt motioned for Quinn to get on the bed beside her. Once on the bed Britt poured a small amount of oil in Quinns hands and motioned for her to rub them together as she had before placing them on Rae's back. Soon Quinn's hands were gliding up and down the tiny guards back with alternating pressure under Britts direction. Rae was humming in pleasure as she felt all the muscles in her back relax. Quinn blushed when Rae let out another low groan when her hands loosened another knot.
Brittany got up and left the bedroom having heard Santana come down the stairs. She smiled as she heard Rae emit another low moan under Quinn's hands.
"Really, I come back and those two are fucking?" The Latina asked while scrunching her face as unwanted images begin to flash in her mind.
"No. I showed Quinn how to give Rae a back massage and where to apply pressure to work out the knots." Britt shrugged "It was the least I could do after she risked bodily harm in getting you to stay and talk to me."
"Britt... I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter you are here now and we talked it through." The bubbly blonde interrupted giving the brunette a kiss.
Santana sighs happily as she wraps her arms around Brittany and holds her for a few minutes longer.
Quinn was gently rubbing her hands up and down Rae's back feeling for any residual knots in the muscles underneath her hands, and if she was honest with herself, she was enjoying the sounds that Rae was making wondering if those were the same sounds the point guard would make in bed. Rae squirmed underneath her when Quinn hit a ticklish spot. Quinn leaned forward to purr in the shorter girls ear. "Awww is Rae ticklish?"
Whimpering slightly Rae nodded her head hoping that Quinn would show mercy on her. Smirking devilishly Quinn lightly traces her fingers up Rae's sides enjoying the smaller girls squirming, before running them down the middle of her spine. She freezes for a moment when she hears Rae's muffled moan. Before Quinn can say anything Brittany popped her head in the doorway. "Dinner is here."
"Ok be out in a minute." Rae replied.
Quinn got up off the bed and washed her hands of the oil before heading out to the living room. Rae waited before getting off the bed. Locating her discarded beater, Rae slips it over head and begins to tug it down as she walks out of her bedroom.
"Oh My God." Quinn whimpers softly. The other two cheerleaders look up to see what Quinn is looking at.
In the doorway Rae was looking like a wet dream for most girls, her silk pants were riding low on her hips showing off the muscle definition and the v-cut that most guys and some girls strive for as she attempted to pull the beater down.
"Holy shit Berry. You could give Mike and Sam a run for their money." Santana exclaims
"Huh?" is Rae's baffled reply as she stops mid motion.
"Your abs Berry." Santana replies with an eye roll. "You are seriously cut."
Rae blushes and mutters out "Oh." before continuing to tug the beater in place as she made her way into the kitchen.
"So Berry," Santana began after everyone was finished eating "how did you end up with a space like this in your dads house?"
"Well they rehabbed the basement into a mini apartment. It's soundproof and allows me to make as much noise as I want and in the back room is a mini dojo. But they did it as a consolation for being gone all the time. That and I hated being kicked out of my room whenever family came over or when they held their work mixers, which was often, and being relegated to sleep on the couch down here. The dojo was already down here, they installed it after I got my yellow belt showing my commitment to karate. One Sunday night after being away at a weekend karate tournament, they surprised me with my 'own apartment'. When they get back from their holiday they're supposedly going to begin construction on a private entrance for me."
"So how is it with all this sound proofing that Puck hasn't convinced you to throw a party?" At Rae's arched eyebrow Santana blushes and ducks her head sheepishly "Right. Sorry." She mutters in an apology that Rae understands is more than just for asking a silly question. In her own way the Fiery Latina was apologizing for having tormented the smaller girl for the last two years.
"It's in the past." Rae replied through a yawn. "Britt, you and Santana can have your pick of the guest rooms upstairs. Quinn, if you like you can either bunk in my fathers room for the night or you can crash down here where you wont be subjected to the inevitable sounds of those two engaging in intercourse. I would offer you my old room but that has been claimed by Noah when he crashes here. You can have my bed and I will crash on the couch. For now however, Britt how about you pick out a movie from my collection and no Santana I don't only own musicals."
Curling up in the corner of the couch getting comfy Rae motions for Quinn to join her as the other two girls cuddle up together on the other end. Brittany had decided on the first season of True Blood. Halfway through the second disc Rae had fallen asleep as Quinn had been softly running her fingers along the smaller girls abs. At the end of the second disc Brittany got up ignoring Santana's whine of disgruntlement and cradled Rae in her arms as she carried the smaller girl to her bed. Once she got Rae settled the bubbly blonde made her way back to the living area and pulled the pouting Latina to her feet.
"You need to go in there and sleep with Rae. Not like that." Brittany teased as Quinn blushed "Rae has terrible nightmares from being bullied for so long. Just cuddle her and rub her back when she whimpers or cries out. She wont remember any of it in the morning."
"Ok Britt. Try to get some sleep, we have practice in the morning." Quinn reminds the other two as they disappear up the stairs.
Cleaning up their mess Quinn makes sure that everything gets put away before lowering the volume on the tv and curling up with the smaller girl. She hears Rae let out a small whimper and follows Britts advice by spooning the tiny guard. After a few minutes Rae's whimpers stop and Quinn falls asleep with the scent of Rae's body wash and shampoo enveloping her senses.
