AN: I am pretty upset to see that even after 3 chapters, this story has no reviews. As a writer,, I enjoy reading reviews and responding to them. Without reviews, it makes the writer feel ignored. Therefore, I am giving this story one last chance. I will be posting this chapter and if there are still no reviews by the end of this week, I will discontinue the story. It is a waste of my time to continue writing something to be published online if it seems that no one is reading it.
Chapter 4: Irresistible
Quinn came over the next day right at the time we planned. It was weird not seeing her wearing a cheerleading uniform. Instead, she wore her hair down and she had a blue and yellow sundress on with a cardigan. I still don't understand how Quinn and Charlie can have such different looks but stil look beautiful in their own ways.
I lead her to my room so we could work on our duet. She looked around at how I set up what used to be the Pierce's guest room. "Wow, Jared. I love what you did with the guest room. I remember when Britt, San and I would have sleepovers and watch movies on the tv tha used to be in here. It's hard to believe this is the same room."
"Thanks. This is basically what my room looked like at home. I had different furniture but my walls were covered with posters and records like it is now."
"So do you have any ideas for our duet?" She asked while taking a seat on my bed.
"Well I haven't really heard you sing but if your voice is anything like your sister's voice, I think I have an idea.
"And what is this idea you have?"
"I have a feeling that you could do a good cover of Natasha Bedingfield's voice and I know this song that is by Simple Plan featuring Natasha Bedingfield. I think we could sing it together really well."
"Sounds interesting." Quinn mused, "I don't think I have heard the song."
"I could play it for you on my guitar. I would have to sing both parts though." I suggested.
"Go for it. I'd love to hear it." Quinn said with some excitement.
I grabbed my electric guitar and plugged it into my mini amp. After making sure everything was in tune, I began to play "Jet Lag," the song I had told Quinn about. After the first verse, I really got into it. I found that imagining that I was on a stage in front of millions of fans helped me get into the song I was playing. For the majority of the song, my eyes were either closed or looking off into space. I didn't notice how close Quinn had come to me until the end of the song. Her hazel eyes were filled with lust and before I knew it, her lips were on mine. Honestly, I was hoping to catch Charlie's attention. There was something about Quinn's twin sister that made me smile and caused my heart to beat just a bit faster. Don't get me wrong, Quinn is pretty too but deep down, I know that her and Rachel belong together .
Oh but I couldn't help kissing Quinn back. She was such a good kisser and her lips were so soft and addictive. I felt myself move my guitar from between us as she pulled me closer. I set my guitar on the floor, leaning against my bed as I repositioned the both of us so we were laying down on my bed. Our kissing turned into making out and I didn't think I would be able to stop myself. I felt a pair of soft hands begin to crawl under my shirt and that's when I snapped out of it. I pulled back breaking apart our kiss.
"Woah, wait. What the hell is this?" I asked while trying to catch my breath. "I had no idea you're into chicks!"
"I'm not gay," Quinn said in a husky tone as she tried to lean forward and recapture my lips. I put my hand on her shoulder to stop her"
"So you're bi?" I asked.
"I think the term is pansexual. You know, falling for someone's personality. I've never really paid attention to gender."
"So how come you kissed me when you are obviously head over heels for Rachel?" I asked.
"You kissed me back," she defended.
"That doesn't answer my question, Quinn," I arched an eyebrow up at her.
"Okay, yeah, you're right. I like Rachel a lot. But she obviously is still in love with Finn and she would never like me. I wouldn't say that I have feelings for you but when you started singing, there was something about your voice that turned me on. Now it's your turn. Why did you kiss me back?"
"Honestly, I haven't kissed anyone since my ex and I broke right before I moved here. I haven't had any action since. And I'm not going to lie, you are one hell of a good kisser. I don't remember the last time I made out with such a talented kisser. I guess I just got hooked to your kissing." I explained.
"So you don't have feelings for me whatsoever?" Quinn asked me.
"No offence but cheerleaders aren't my type. There's no doubt that you are extremely attractive but I tend to go for more artsy and quirky girls."
"Like Charlie?"
"Let's not get off topic," I told her.
"So if we are both single and we haven't had any action in a while and neither of us like each other romantically yet we still enjoy kissing each other, do you think we could continue…this?"
"What do you mean by this?" I asked.
"Like you and me, two friends who casually make out for fun."
"So like friends with benefits?"
"Well I guess you could say that. I just don't know if I'm ready for any sexual activity."
"I get ya." I said.
"So is that a yes?"
"I don't see why not." I smirked at her.
"Soooo, do you want to continue what you interrupted?" Quinn asked shyly.
"How about work on our duet for a little bit and see what happens?" I suggested. Quinn agreed to my plan and I grabbed my guitar so we could practice together.
Santana's POV
Afterschool, I stopped by the music store to see if I can get any ideas for my duet with Brittany. I swear, I have a psychic Mexican third eye or something because every time we draw names for duets in Glee, I always pick Britt. It's a good thing because I don't need Frankenteen or Wheels getting paired with her. They would totally convince her to sing a love song with them. On the downside, Britt always wants to sing tunes from TV shows. Last time we had a duet together, she wanted to sing the Blues Clues theme song with me. So now, I decide on the song and I leave the choreography to her.
During my search for a song, my phone started ringing. I knew by the preset ringtone, it was Brittany calling. A year ago she set my phone so that whenever she called, the Hamster dance would play.
"Hey Britt-britt, what's up?" I answered my phone.
"San, you have to come over. There is a monster in Jared's room. It's gonna eat Jared and Quinn and then it's gonna come after me and Lord Tubbington, I just know it. You have to save me, San! I'm so scared."
"Relax, Britt, Jared is probably just playing her guitar. Did you see this monster?"
"No but I can hear it. It sounds like racecars and light sabers and the laser guns from star wars. Jared played her guitar in glee yesterday. It sounded nothing like this."
"Britt, sweetie, that was her acoustic…you know what. I'm coming right over to save you." I wasn't about to explain the difference between acoustic and electric to guitars to Brittany over the phone. I drove right over to Brittany's house and knocked on the door.
"Thank god you're here, San! The monster stopped making noise. I think it already ate Jared and Quinn." Brittany whimpered as she pulled me into a suffocating hug.
"Its okay, Britt. I won't let a silly monster hurt you. I'm gonna go check in Jared's room to see about this monster." Brittany let me go and I went over to Jared's room and quietly opened the door. As expected, there was no monster but what I did see made my jaw drop to the floor. Quinn Fabray was straddling Jared Pierce while they rolled all over Jared's bed while they played a game of tonsil hockey. Jared's arms were propping herself up a bit as she kissed Quinn back. I saw Quinn's hands begin to travel under Jared's shirt and before I knew it, Jared was pushing Quinn off her. I scurried away before either of them saw me standing behind the slightly opened bedroom door. I ran back and found Brittany in her room holding Lord Tubbington.
"What happened? Did the monster eat them?" Brittany asked worriedly.
"There's no monster Britt. I don't think we have to worry about a monster eating their faces. I'm sure they have got that covered." I smirked as Brittany calmed down and let her cat free from her arms.
"What are you saying?" She asked me.
"Don't worry about it. Let's work on our duet. I'm thinking we could sing "Me Against the Music," By Brittany Spears and Madonna.
"Ooh I love that song!" We started working on our duet and then Britt suggested we watch "The Aristocats" on her tv. I agreed and maybe 15 minutes into the movie, Brittany fell asleep.
I felt my stomach grumble and left my Sleeping Beauty so I could get a snack from the kitchen. As I munched on some oreo's that were in the pantry, I saw Jared walking Quinn to the door. "Bye Quinnalah!" I shouted, once again mocking her name
"See ya at cheerios practice Santana Claus!" She shouted back. Her comebacks will never beat my nicknames for her. Once Quinn left, Jared closed the door. I set down the bag of cookies and strutted over to Jared with my arms crossed.
"Hey San, Where's Britt?" She asked me.
"She's asleep in her room. We were watching the Aristocrats and she decided to take a little nap. I don't blame her. After her little freak out, I would expect a nap would be nice."
"What do you mean? Did she have like a panic attack or something?"
"She heard you playing your electric guitar and thought there was a monster in your room attacking Quinn and you." I explained.
"Really now?" Jared said with a chuckle.
"Really really. I was going to come over later but Britt called me in panicking for me to come save you all. I came over and she said the monster stopped making noises and begged me to check on you two. She thought the monster ate you."
"So you pretended to check on us to calm Brittany down?"
"Oh no. I actually checked on you guys to calm Britt. I didn't see any monsters but I did see something quite interesting."
"What did you see?" Jared asked. I could see the worry in her eyes.
"Oh nothing. Just you and Quinn mackin' on your bed. Pretty wanky, I must say."
"Oh god." Jared gulped.
"Care to explain, Squirt?" I teased her with her old nickname.
"We were practicing our duet and well Quinn was turned on by my singing so she kissed me and she's like a really good kisser so I ended up kissing her back but we don't like eachother that way so we agreed to be like friends who make out for fun."
"Slow down Junior Peirce. I'm not going to punish you for having a little fun with a hot cheerleader. So you got yourself a fwb. If that's what you want, then I'm proud of you. You're gonna be like a mini womanizer. Everyone knows I'm the womanizer of Mckinley high. I guess that makes you my side kick or something," I joked.
"Just whatever you do, don't tell anyone." Jared said defensively.
"Oh you know Quinnie is just going to run along and brag to her smokin' hipster clone."
"She's not. Quinn and I already agreed that we wouldn't tell anyone. Not even Charlie. You just so happened to catch us."
"Wait a minute. Quinn usually tells Charlie everything and Charlie does the same for Quinn. There must be a hell of an explanation to why Quinn would keep this a secret from Charlie. Holy shit, My psychic Mexican third eye is picking up something. You totally like Charlie Fabray!"
"What makes you think that?" Jared tried to play it off as if I was wrong.
"On the first day of school, you were totally checking Charlie out. You blushed when she Rachel said that Charlie is bi. Actually, you blushed a lot around Charlie on the first day. You agree to try out as the lead singer for her band in a heartbeat yet you were unsure about joining the glee club. Once Charlie told you she was in glee too, you trried out for the club faster than road runner runs past Wile E. Coyote. Now you agree to be fuck buddies with her twin…"
"We're not actually going all the way. We are friends with benefits and the benefit is making out." Jared interrupted.
"Same difference. You make out with Quinn for fun and you don't want her telling Charlie. I know why you don't want Charlie to know. Everyone knows that Charlie is a romantic kind of girl. Studs don't stand a chance with her. If Charlie were to find out you are fooling around with her hot cheerleader clone, any chance you ever had with having a relationship with Charlie will be gone with the wind."
"Okay, you're right. I like Charlie. I want to take her on dates and treat her better than anyone has treated her before. I wish it was her that I was paired with for the duets. Quinn is cool and all but there is just something about Charlie that makes her special. If she found out that I made out with Quinn, I don't think she would even want a friendship with me." Jared confessed.
"Then you need to end your arrangement with Quinn and go after Charlie." I told Jared like it was the obvious choice.
"I can't. I don't even know if Charlie likes me that way. Confessing my feelings for Charlie could ruin our friendship. Quinn just needs to grow a pair and realize that her love for Rachel is returned. Until then, Quinn can practice kissing a girl by making out with me and I can get Charlie to help me set Quinn up with Rachel."
"Wait, you know for a fact that Quinn likes Rachel? Like did she tell you?" I asked. Jared nodded her head, " I knew it!" I shouted.
"So do you understand where I am coming from?" Jared asked.
"Somewhat. If your main goal is to get Quinn and Berry together, I'm in. As long as you are working to get those two together, I won't make you stop playing around with Quinn. I'm just warning you, If you hurt Charlie, you'll be hearing from Auntie Snix."
"You still call your evil side Snix?" Jared smirked at me.
"Yes and trust me, Snix isn't as nice as she was when you were 7."
"Alright. I promise I will do anything I can to make sure that fooling around with Quinn doesn't backfire and hurt Charlie." Jared told me. I could tell she was telling the truth.
"Alrighty then Junior Peirce. Lets think of some plans to set those two lovebirds together." I said. I could only hope Jared would keep her word. Charlie is like a smarter version of Britt. Neither would ever harm a fly and I would hate to see either upset.
