Sorry it took a little longer, I kind of lost my muse, but...yay, it's back again!
Happy reading!
Sam was sitting in his hotel room strumming on his guitar trying to keep his mind off of Quinn, though it was kind of impossible. He wanted really badly to pick up his phone and call her, but he knew that she was out. She had said that she would be out all day with Santana and that was only three hours ago. However he desperately wanted to know if she would join the band, he was really hoping she would...it was definitely a good choice to choose her...in his opinion anyway.
"What are we doing?" His sister Stacy asked as she watched him strum absentmindedly.
Sam snapped out of his gaze into 'space' and glanced at his younger sister, "uh, nothing...just strumming."
Stacy nodded, "oh, okay."
Sam looked around, "hey, when did you get back, I thought you'd be at the park all day?" That is what his mother told him.
The little girl smiled, "we're not back, I'm just grabbing your basketball...Stevie and I want to play, and there's not one at the park."
Sam just now realized she was holding his orange basketball, "well, it's nice that you asked," he commented sarcastically.
His sister just rolled her eyes, "oh, please I knew you'd have no problem with it." That was all she said before she walked back out the door.
Sam sighed and continued on with his strumming as he sang quietly, "oh, and I was like baby, baby, baby...oh. Like baby, baby, baby...no." He stopped strumming and glanced back at the picture of him and Quinn that was still on the desk, "I thought you'd always be mine, mine."
Quinn had found three movies that she absolutely loved: Riding In Cars With Boys, Crossroads, and The Runaways, they were definitely going home with her today. She carried them with her as she walked the isles of the store; it may have had a stupid name, but the store was absolutely amazing.
Santana however was looking in the music section, they both knew what the other liked so they decided to split it up: Santana would take the music, if Quinn would take the movies. So far luck was on the Latina's side she found the Coyote Ugly soundtrack which she absolutely loved, the Britney Spears Blackout CD which she knew Quinn wanted, and Eminem's Encore CD.
The raven haired girl and the blonde met back up near the bathroom, "any luck?" Santana asked.
Quinn nodded and showed her the movies, "amazing," she said as her friend looked them over.
Santana glanced back up with a disappointed face, "really?"
Quinn rolled her eyes, "come on, Santana, these movies are amazing...first of all Riding In Cars With Boys is a true story that tells about a high school drop-out who got pregnant at fifteen, yet she has her baby and still tries to live life to the fullest, of course she deals with challenges along the way. I mean hello, this movie is kind of like me...except I had a girl and not a boy, and I didn't drop out of school...and I didn't keep my baby...but anyway it's truly an amazing movie, Drew Barrymore is like the best actress out there, if I were to become an actress, which I doubt that would happen, I would like to work alongside her...also this is by far one of the best performances of Brittany Murphy, I mean she was always great, but this was definitely one of my favorite movies of hers, right after Clueless." She paused for a moment to make sure Santana was still listenting.
The other girl was of course listening, she had never in her life heard Quinn say that much before and she knew that if she didn't listen Quinn would probably spiral into a depression over Frankenteen again...and besides that, the movie did seem kind of interesting.
Quinn looked at the other movies in her hand, "secondly," she began, "Britney Spears in Crossroads...hello amazing, then there's the fact that Anson Mount is a very good looking dude, and Taryn Manning with Zoe Saldana make two very hilarious characters, Mimi is awesome."
Santana couldn't help but notice that Mimi the one Quinn pointed to was pregnant, was she trying to tell her something with the two pregnant girl movies?
Quinn then held out The Runaways, "Dakota Fanning is totally awesome, obviously she is one of the best actresses of her time, and Kristen Stewart did a pretty damn good time in helping bring the band back...come on San, you'll like'em if you give them a try."
The Latina looked at her friend, "is there a pregnant girl in that movie," she nodded her head toward the one Quinn was currently holding up.
Quinn laughed, "no, it's about an all girl rock band."
Santana nodded, "okay." Good.
Quinn shrugged, "oh, I also found this, cause I know you love it so much..." She pulled another movie out and showed it two her friend.
"Thirteen!" Santana gasped, "oh my God, I love this movie!" She glanced at the blonde who smiled in return. "Thanks Q."
Quinn nodded, "yeah, yeah...so what did you find?"
Santana showed her the CD's, "well first is the Coyote Ugly Soundtrack, cause you know how much I love that movie, and the music on it's pretty good also...then I found Eminem's Encore CD, I figured I could put the songs on your ipod, you tend to complain about my rap music...but I know you listen to it too." She smiled at the face Quinn was making at that moment. She laughed, "then I found this for you..." She showed Quinn the Blackout CD, "I know how much you love Britney Spears, and I know that this one is missing from your collection, so I figured what the hell, I'd grab it for you."
Quinn couldn't resist she just had to hug the other girl, "oh Santana, thank you, thank you, thank you!" To top it all off she gave a big kiss to the cheek of the other girl which really annoyed the hell out of that other girl.
It was seven o'clock now, and Finn stood on the porch to the Berry's house shifting his weight from left to right as he stared at the doorbell. He was kind of nervous to ring it, he decided now would be the better time to tell Rachel they chose Quinn, well it was either now or at their first rehearsal (which he was sure Rachel would want to come to). He shook his head and took a deep breath before reaching forward and pressing the button. It rang and there was an answer imediately.
"hello, Finn, I wasn't aware that you were coming over?" Rachel said as she let him in.
Finn stepped inside and shook his head, "yeah, sorry, I should have called."
"nonsense, nonsense...my fathers are out at dinner, they asked me to join them, but I kindly declined stating that I had already earlier eaten with Mercedes, Kurt, and Blaine." Rachel smiled as she walked toward the kitchen.
Finn followed behind slowly, he was trying to figure out how to word it in a way that she wouldn't get angry...he really had lost all the confidence he had at the coffee shop hoping she wouldn't get mad.
Rachel walked over to the sink and began to wash the dishes, Finn assumed he had interrupted her. She pulled out a plate and began scrubbing it with the soaped up blue sponge. "So why are you here, may I ask?" She shot a glance at her boyfriend.
Finn stood in the doorway of the kitchen ready to run for it, "uh, I just wanted to see how your movie went?"
The small girl sighed as she placed the plate in the other sink to be rinsed, "not good...well, the others seemed to enjoy it, but I found it to be quite terrible. The plot was awful, the acting was mediocre, and it wasn't funny at all."
Finn was a little confused, "oh, what'd you go see?"
Rachel picked up another plate and began to wash it, "Scream 4."
Finn chuckled, "really, you didn't like it?"
Rachel shook her head, "not really, no."
Finn sighed, "oh, cause I thought it was pretty awesome when I went to see it with Quinn."
Rachel looked at him, "you went to see it with her?"
Oops, maybe I should've left that part out, Finn thought as he shrugged, "well, we were dating at the time, and she really wanted me to take her to see it...I mean, she loves the Scream movies, she has the first three!" He scratched his head, "plus, I couldn't exactly say no, I wanted to see it also, and we both enjoyed it...wait...you and I weren't together at the time, Quinn and I were, so it shouldn't matter to you."
Rachel sighed, "fine, I guess you're right...well, no wonder you dated her, you both have terrible taste in movies."
"Well, at least she enjoys something other than musicals," Finn said it before it reached his brain. Next thing he knew he was being hit in the shoulder with something that made a splosh! type of sound. He looked at her, "did you just throw a sponge at me?"
Rachel nodded while she gave him her best glare, "you're lucky I wasn't holding a knife at the moment Finn Hudson!"
Finn waved his hands, "wait, wait...Rach come on don't be mad, I didn't mean it like that!"
Rachel rolled her eyes, "is this really what you came over here to talk about...movies?"
Finn shrugged, "no, not really."
She stepped toward him and he couldn't help but flinch. Rachel continued to glare as she asked, "then what did you want?"
The tall boy couldn't help but stumble on his words, "w-we picked a l-lead for our ba-band."
Rachel nodded, "oh, and who might that be?"
Finn swallowed hard on the lump that formed in his throat, "Quinn."
And I'm gonna end it there...
...hope you enjoyed it, and please let me know what you think...
...thanks...
