-Chapter 7-
-Quinn pov-
"I can do this" I take a deep breath and knock on the door in front of me "I have to do this"
"Hang on!" After a few minutes the door opens to a confused but smiling face "Uh hey! Wha-what are you doing here?"
"I am here to take you out!" I grab her hand and drag her away from her room "Come on!"
"Quinn I am in pajamas!" I stop and look at her before dragging her away again "I need to change!"
"You will be perfectly fine!" I get her to my car and open the passenger door "You will want to just go with this"
She raises a eyebrow and just gives a nod. I let her into the car and close the door. I think about what I am doing and sigh. Two weeks has been long enough.
I need to get this done.
-Time skip-Rachel pov-
This ride has been very long and uncomfortably silent. Quinn has not said a word to me. She has been super focused on wherever she is taking me. I sigh and grab my iPod from my pocket.
"You have your iPod on you at all times?" I nod and she lets out a chuckle "I should have expected that"
"Where are we going?" So it is silence again...we are pulling up to a house "Who are we seeing?"
"Someone" She parks and turns off the car "Follow"
I roll my eyes and get out of the car. I follow Quinn to the door and wait. She knocks and steps back to wait. I get my answer on who it is when the door opens.
"Hey" I scoff and look away from the girl in the doorway "I deserved that...I have a confession about what happened"
"About you kissing Santana?" She nods and I scoff again "I can not wait to hear this rich excuse!"
"Brittany told me to do it" I soon have a phone facing toward me and a visible message "She has second thoughts on letting you have Santana and wanted me to get you two apart"
"She was given a promise to a high cheerio spot next school year" The girl frowns and looks at the ground broken "She will be lucky to be on at all"
"It was not her fault completely" Quinn raises a eyebrow and I give her a challenging one back "You owe me"
"Fine!" The girl smiles and Quinn sighs "Anything else you have to say?"
"Brittany's vacation ends today and she is probably heading to Santana" I growl and the girl steps back scared "That is just a guess!"
"She's not growling at you" Quinn steps away and motions to the car "Come on Rachel"
I nod and look at the girl "Thanks for your help" She nods and I look at Quinn "You have a plan?"
"Nope do you?" I smirk and nod which she smirks at in return "Oh this is going to be good"
-Santana pov-
"Then she left me!" I sniffle and eat another spoonful of ice cream from my 20th tub...today "I just want her back you know?"
"Well what if she moves on?" I look at Brittany and my heart breaks more at the thought "Santana you two obviously just do not mesh well"
"Maybe" I sigh and sniffle again "I just wanted to finally be happy"
"Well you can still be happy" I look at her confused and she slowly moves the tub away from me "I think this could be the year that you finally be free"
"Free?" She nods and sits on my lap facing me "What are you doing Brittany?"
"We could be the best lesbian couple there San" She smiles and leans closer "All you have to do is come back to me"
"Britt it is too soon" I move my head and she follows "Britt come on"
"FUCK THE PLAN!" Soon Brittany is tackled off of me and I am watching a pair of fists fly "YOU EVIL BITCH!"
"RACHEL!" I watch Quinn shoot across my living room and pull Rachel off of Brittany "We had a plan that we talked about!"
"Fuck the plan!" Rachel gets free so I act quickly and stop her "Let me go!"
"What is going on?" I wrap my arms around Rachel and feel her anger start leaving "What caused this?"
"She text the girl to get us separated" Rachel looks me in the eyes as she turns in my arms "She text the girl and told her she could get a high part in cheerios if she did it"
"Is this true Brittany?" I get no response and look at the girl who has been my best friend for years "Brittany! Is this true or not?!"
"We could finally be out Santana" Brittany sighs and sits up "God I think you broke my nose!"
"Good!" Rachel hides herself in my body "You tried to ruin the best thing I have going in my life"
"Britt I think it is best for you to leave" She looks at me shocked and I have to look away "Please Brittany...just for a little while"
"Fine" Brittany stands up "But do not expect love and adoration from me when you find out she is not worth it! She is what she always has been Santana! The same prudish Rachel Berry!"
"Get out!" She scoff and leaves "We take it at your speed Rachel"
"A date" I look into Rachel's eyes and she pokes my chest "You take me on a real first date and no kissing other girls!"
"Deal" I smile and look at Quinn "Thank you"
"Treat her right or next time I take her" I gulp and nod at the seriousness on her face "Have fun Rachel! Behave Santana"
"This is going to be a stress filled summer for sure" I look down at a smiling Rachel "But I am happy it will be with you"
"I am happy about that as well" I give her a kiss on the forehead "I want to earn those lips of yours"
"Sure I will go" We both look at a smiling Quinn as she walks to the front door "Be good and stop the dang drama already!"
"Go!" She flips me off as she leaves "Unbelievable that girl!"
"Sing for me?" I look down at a pouting Rachel "I want to hear your lovely voice"
"I would do anything for you" I move us over to the couch and she lays on my shoulder "Got any suggestions?"
"Anything" She cuddles into me more and I smile happily "Just to forget about our troubles"
-Santana singing-
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place."
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call "Loneliness"
But it's better than drinking alone
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
I look down to see Rachel peacefully asleep on my side. I smile lovingly and grab the throw blanket from behind us. I cover us up and lay down with her on me. This feels absolutely right in every way.
I can only hope for more moments like this one.
