Hangovers and Hook Ups
"Oh my God, why did I buy a home with so many windows?" momentarily forgetting that the windows was the sticking point in buying this home. "I will never drink again for the rest of my life", she mumbles to herself as she grabs her head in hopes that the pressure of her hands will stop the throbbing of her headache. Very gingerly rising from her bed she heads to her bathroom suite to grab some pain reliever, stopping only to grab a bottle of water from her mini refrigerator.
After gulping down half of the bottle of water she knew that she needs caffeine, and she needs it now. Wrapping her robe around her body she replays the events of last night in her head. Smiling as she walks down stairs to start the largest pot of coffee that she could make. She vaguely remembers walking back to her house this morning as the sun was reaching the horizon with other people, but she really wasn't sure who all are sleeping upstairs.
"Morning Rachel" Brittney said as she walks in the kitchen with a sultry look in nothing but one of Santana's tee shirts and a pair of panties.
"Good Morning, Brittney," handing Brittney a mug of coffee "how well did you sleep?" pretty sure that there wasn't much sleeping going on in Santana's room last night.
"Oh I'm well rested thank you," Brittney answers as she accepts the coffee. "Did you enjoy the party yesterday?"
"To be honest, I can't remember the last time that I had that much fun." Rachel answers realizing that she hasn't been this happy long before Brody had broken off their engagement.
"Good Morning beautiful ladies," Kurt says way too chirper for this early in the morning and pulling Rachel from her thoughts. "Isn't it a beautiful morning?"
"Hey Kurt, I didn't realize that you were here too," Rachel says as she offers his a mug of coffee. "Is Finn home alone?"
"Finn is a big boy and he really prefers to be alone in the morning, Finn is definitely not a morning person." Kurt is very pleased to see that Finn is on Rachel's mind.
"Uggh, I need coffee now!" Santana says barely louder than a whisper walking into the kitchen dressed just like Brittney. "Morning baby" she says to Brittney with a peck on her cheek as she takes the large cup of coffee from Rachel.
"Damn Tana, I can't remember the last time that you were this hung over" Rachel smirks.
"Shut up," she mumbles "what's wrong with letting loose every once in a while?"
"You seem like you had a very good time last night yourself, Rachel." Kurt smiles.
"I had a lovely time last night," as her thoughts took her back up on Finn's rooftop terrace "I however, woke up in my own bed alone unlike everyone else in this house." giving Kurt a smile to let him know that it was alright that he was there.
Once Blaine finally joins everyone in the kitchen, they were already deep in a conversation about the events of last night, and wondering if Quinn had came home; since obviously no one remembers who had actually headed to Rachel's after the party this morning.
"Hello?" Finn answers his phone after realizing what that annoying sound is.
"Are you still asleep?" Puck asks sarcastically.
Glancing over to his alarm clock and noticing that it was only 8 o'clock. "Well yeah considering that I've only been in bed for three hours!"
"Get your sorry ass up, Q and I were talking and we made plans for all of us for the rest of the weekend!" Puck says confidently.
"I wouldn't have thought that you and Quinn would have been doing much talking; anyway, what are these big plans?" Finn mumbles. (Give him a break; he hasn't had any coffee yet.)
"Well, I was telling her about your parents place in Malibu when we woke up this morning, and we just figured since we all have a long weekend that we should all take advantage of it."
"Wait, you want to take them to Malibu today?" Finn asks as he finally sits up.
"Sure why not, do you have any plans for the weekend?" Puck asks seriously, "and don't you dare say anything about work!"
"No, I don't have any plans except to just relax, and what makes you think that they would want to spend the week end with us?" Finn asks, "They barely know who we are!"
Puck starts laughing, "Seriously Finn; do you know where Kurt is, or where Brittney went after the party?"
"No I don't, I didn't realize that it was my turn to baby sit them!" Finn huffs, "I know that Quinn is with you at your house, and I assume that you know where Kurt and Brittney are!"
"Haha, smart ass", Puck says sarcastically, "anyway I feel like that they know us well enough to go away with us, so what do you say?"
"Sure why not, but don't ya think that you need to find out if they want to go away with us?"
"Just get your ass out of the bed and get ready and let Q and I worry about the others, Okay?"
"Fine, I'm jumping in the shower now and I need some coffee before I do anything, later dude." Finn says as he gets out of bed and heads to his shower.
As soon as Puck gets off the phone, Quinn picks her cell phone up and hits speed dial 2 for Rachel.
"It's Quinn" Rachel says as she answers her ringing phone, "Why hello Quinn how are you feeling this morning?"
Quinn immediately fills Rachel in on the plans that she and Puck has made. Rachel turns to her friends and tells them the plans, "What do you guys think?"
After a collective yes, Rachel tells Quinn that everyone was up for a weekend getaway. Once they have hatched out all of the plans the girls got off of the phone, Quinn telling Rachel that she would be home in a few minutes to get packed.
"Well guys, I guess we all need to get packed to go to Malibu" Rachel says looking at Kurt "Just how big is your parents place?"
"It's plenty big enough; hey Santana is it okay if I help you pack Rachel's things?"
Santana notices the look in Kurt's eyes and she knows that he has a plan answers with a shrug, "Sure but don't you need to pack your own bags?"
"Oh honey, I always have a bag ready to go to Malibu!" Kurt smiles "I go there as often as I can to get away from my busy life."
"I can pack my own bag guys" Rachel pipes in, "Quinn said that Puck wants to be on the road within the next two hours."
"I'm ready to go except for a shower, so why don't you show me your closet and I'll pack you up while you shower", adding "after I get your things packed up I'll run home and get ready myself."
"Okay" Rachel agrees then she turns to Brittney, "Britt, how about you, do you need to run home and pack?"
Brittney just shakes her head and tells Rachel that she always has a packed bag in her car because she rarely ever stays at her house. "But I think that I only have one bathing suit with me, so I may need to stop at one of the shops at the beach to grab a few."
Blaine and Santana heads up the stairs to pack their bags and to shower as Quinn walks through the front door. "Well, look who made it home", Santana tells Blaine as she directs a smirk to Quinn.
Shrugging Quinn replies, "Well by the looks of the two of you, I wasn't the only one who was entertaining after the party.", as she walks up the staircase to her own suite with a smile on her face.
Laughing Blaine turns to Santana and simply says, "Let's get ready, shall we?"
Everyone is standing in Finn's drive way after deciding to take Finn's Range Rover and Puck's Navigator. "Damn Kurt, why do you need three suitcases for three days?" Finn grumbles as he throws the last one in the back of his vehicle.
"I always have to be prepared for any event, I AM a fashion designer and I simply cannot be seen in the wrong outfit for any occasion." Kurt huffs.
"Dude, we are going to the beach, all you need to worry about is swimsuits and sunscreen", Puck looks around to the group and says "Okay, we're ready to roll."
Blaine and Kurt climbs into the backseat of Finn's vehicle as Finn helps Rachel sit in the front seat. Brittney, Santana and Quinn gets into Puck's vehicle as Puck looks over to Finn and asks with a wink, "Are you ready for this?"
Looking back to the front seat of his Range Rover and putting his Ray Bans on Finn says with a smile, "You bet!"
So they're heading to Malibu for a week-end getaway. Are Finn and Rachel on the same page? Will they finally let go of all their hurt and try to love again? WARNING: A major roadblock is on her way. How will everyone react to it. Will we leave Malibu with Finchel? Let me know what you think.
