Chapter 8 – It should be just us.
Quinn parked her car right in front of Rachel's house. She was surprised with the size. Since they were waiting the insurance money she expected the girl to be a little less… well off.
The blonde checked herself a few times before getting out of the car and walking to the front door. She rings the bell and braces herself expecting to meet one of Rachel's fathers. However the one to open the door is Rachel herself. She doesn't even invite Quinn in, she just smile to the blonde getting out of the house and locking the door after her.
"Let's go, Quinn!" Rachel calls skipping her way to the other girl's car.
"What about…?" The blonde pointed the house with a confused look.
"My dads?" the small brunette asks, her tail swaying nicely around her and whit one of her ears crooked to the side. When Quinn nodded the girl couldn't stop herself from smiling. "Sorry, Quinn, they're not home. They went back to Nevis for the day… they will be back tomorrow."
"Oh, sure… sorry I…" the girl stopped speaking, her lion ears pulled back in something akin to embarrassment.
"It's ok, you know?" Rachel said getting her attention again. "I want to get to know you better and I want to meet your family too." She shrugged "That's why we're on a date right?"
"Double date…" Quinn finally started to walk to the car
"It will just be a double date when we meet them. Until then it is just the two of us." Rachel winks making Quinn flush.
"I remember that when we meet…" The blonde said opening the door for the kitty girl. "It was you who would end up all flustered… What changed here?" she closed the door and went to the other side so she could enter the car too.
"I got used to you. You stopped being so intimidating. And you got what you wanted. My attention. You name it." the girl answers biting her lips and showing of her fangs.
Quinn didn't answer. She just blushed more and started the car. Which made Rachel chuckle beside her.
The travel to the mall was quiet. The nice type of quiet, though. They shared little smiles and lingering glances, but nothing more.
I wasn't hard to find a parking spot, which surprised Rachel. It was a Saturday after all. Shouldn't the mall be a little more crowed?
Quinn opened the door for Rachel again making the short kitty girl beam at her. The Lion girl was trying her hardest to impress.
They were almost out of the parking lot when Quinn noticed a car.
"Damn…" She mumbled.
"What?" Rachel asked looking around and then back to Quinn.
"S and Britt are already here… I was…hum hoping for some time alone with you before they got here." Quinn admitted blushing.
"Cute." The brunette smiled and caressed Quinn's flushed cheek with her thumb. "But how do you know she is already here?"
"That's her car." The lion girl said pointing "You see the cheerio's sticker? Coach told us to put them on our cars. We have special parking spots in school, and discounts in some places."
"Really?" Rachel said eying the car with the sticker on it.
They weren't ugly. They just said 'We are the Cheerios!' with a small 'WMHS' under it and with the silhouette of a girl jumping while holding her pompons on the side.
"Yeah my car has one too… And you probably will have to put on yours." Quinn explained holding Rachel's hand, delicately pulling her toward the mall entrance. "They're not that bad…"
"Yes… not that bad. Also, I caught the reference." Rachel smirked interlacing her fingers with Quinn's. "Sue, subtle as always."
"Uh?" The blond asked arching her eyebrow.
"Seriously? 'We are the Cheerios'? Doesn't it ring any bells? Especially with Sue's obsession with winning! Not that I blame her on that… I'm very competitive myself." Rachel ranted. "And you're in glee club, how can you not notice?" Quinn only looked at her with one of her eyebrow arched. "Queens' We are the champions? Seriously?"
"Oh!" the blond exclaimed "I think you're seeing too much into it, Rach. I don't think coach meant it that way." She said holding her laugh.
Rachel just pouted. Making Quinn smile wider. They were already inside the mall and all kind of creatures walked around there. The ceiling was high even on the other floors, so giants and other large creatures could walk around too. There were centaurs walking in front of them and fairies flying above them. Rachel was even almost trampled by a giant at some point.
They were walking to where they agreed to meet when Rachel stops and look at Quinn with mischief in her eyes.
"We can walk around a little bit… so we can have some time alone. We are early after all." The girl suggested.
Quinn looks happy with the suggestion. She looks really happy. Her tail swaying and her furry ears almost trembling with excitement. It was a cute sight.
Rachel could notice that the girl was about to answer when they were approached from behind.
"Finally you two are here!" Santana voice sounds close to them, making Quinn sulk.
"We're early." The lion girl points out still frowning. She really thought she was going to have some alone time with Rachel.
"Yeah, but we got here earlier so we had to wait, hence you two are late." The gorgon scoffed.
"What are you even doing here so early?" Quinn snarled at her friend.
"Oh! I was anxious I couldn't stay still and ended up waking her up… she tried to have sex time, but got mad 'cuz I couldn't stop talking about today. So we came early…" she pauses a little before adding "…but not really."
"Oh…" Rachel says after some time of silence, blushing with Brittany's unintentional overshare.
"Britt… remember what I said about sharing?" Santana says rubbing her girlfriend arm
"Some things are just for us?" The tall nymph recites
"Exactly. Just for us." The gorgon says with a smile before turning to her friends and frowning. "So… are we gonna shop or what?"
Quinn frown at her, not really liking her rudeness toward her and Rachel, but before she can says something the little kitty girl tugs on her hands and points a store.
"We could start there. I need some shirts… and we go from there." She points out.
"This store sucks!" Santana scoffs.
"Please then, lead the way." The smaller brunette says rolling her eyes.
Santana takes them to a lingerie shop, saying they needed to start from the beginning. It wasn't really surprising and Brittany did squeal with happiness. But Rachel would bet she'd be happy no matter the store they chosen to begin from.
"Don't worry… she probably just want an excuse to see Brittany in lingerie…" Quinn murmurs close to Rachel's furry ear making it flutter
"I don't need an excuse for that, Fabray! If the only thing I wanted was to see her in lingerie I wouldn't have left the house… at least there I would be able to do something about that…" Santana fires back at Quinn.
The two girls looked like they were about to pounce one another. The blond had her ears pulled back and clenched teeth while Santana's snakes hissed framing the gorgon's head in a very menacing way.
Brittany didn't seem to be really fazed by their interaction. She just got hold of Rachel's hand and tugged her into the store.
"Don't mind them, Rachie! They're kind of always like that." The nymph said shrugging.
"But we're just going to leave them like that?" Rachel asked a little unsure looking back at them, who, apparently, didn't notice that they were left behind.
"Yea… don't worry! Now let's go! I need some new panties. San ripped my last good pair the other day…" Britt told the girl
"You're not commando are you?" the kitty girl inquired still a little worried, only that now, it was for a whole new reason.
"Oh! No… but they're all old now. I need some new ones." The blonde smiled at her pointing at her favorite section on the store.
Rachel wasn't exactly needing any underwear… she still had hers from before the fire. Not all her clothes were destroyed after all, just almost all of them were.
The girl still had to choose one when Quinn found her. Apparently, she and San snapped out of their little hassle. The lion girl smiled apologetically at Rachel.
"This is so weird… this is our first date and we're buying you underwear…" Quinn says embarrassed and looking away every time Rachel seemed interested in an item.
"Don't worry I'll finish here quickly and we can wait for them outside. I don't need much." Rachel reassures Quinn with a warm smile that was matched by the taller girl.
True to her word Rachel doesn't take long before buying what she wanted. A scowling Santana and a smiling Brittany soon joined them on the outside. The tall blond had a small bag with the store's logo on it, probably having found something to her liking.
"Why the sour face, S?" Quinn teases her friend. "Didn't get what you wanted?"
"Shut up, LezPussy!" The gorgon hissed through clenched teeth
"That doesn't even make sense!" the lion girl laughs out loud a little too happy to see that her friend's plan had failed.
Santana probably just wanted to embarrass her anyway.
The next shop is a shoes store… The gorgon didn't let they stay there for long thought. She apparently had a very strict secret agenda for this double date. And the only person to apparently notice it was Quinn.
Or maybe Brittany knew and was a collaborator. The lion girl wanted to believe that not, Britt wouldn't plot with San to embarrass her or even Rachel, but with the girl, sometimes, you never actually knew.
Maybe the taller blond thought she was helping them… But was Santana twisted enough to trick her beloved? Another person, yes, maybe, but she was always different when it came to Britt.
"Santana, can you stop bossing us around, please? Let me chose my clothes in peace." Rachel sighed accepting the third pair of pants given to her by the latina.
"Urgh, fine, but you got to try out the ones I picked up for you first." The gorgon huffed, her snakes hissing in annoyance…
"Come on San, there is some clothes over there that I want to try out!" Brittany says, dragging her girlfriend to the other end of the store.
Quinn truly smiled for the first time since they met the other pair when she saw them going away. She turned to Rachel still sporting her bright smile just to find the small brunette gone.
"Rachel!" Quinn called out in despair, not even thinking about sniffing the air after the girl's scent.
Panic did such amazing things to people… No matter which race they were.
Quinn was about to call the girl again when she heard her. "What?" Rachel's voice came from behind her.
The blond girl quickly turned around but the brunette still out of sigh. Well, until she saw the girl's waving tail disappearing behind a shelf full of clothes. She followed the gray furred tail until she found her date.
Rachel was bent down, tails up, looking at the lower shelves not noticing how flustered Quinn was becoming.
"What?" the kitty girl ask again looking at her before straightening up.
"A-are you really gonna try the clothes Santana got you?" she asks out of the blue
"Yeah… I mean, why not?" Rachel shrugged and then smiled at her "Want to choose some clothes for me too?"
"Only if you want me to…" Quinn answers, not really wanting to leave Rachel's side. "But for now… maybe you should just try out these ones… no?"
Once again Rachel just shrugged. "Sure…Where I can try out the clothes?" The brunette asks looking around for the dressing rooms.
The blond girl just grabbed her hand pulling her in the right direction. There were six stalls for the customers, two of them already being used. They were big enough to fit an ogre and the curtains used as doors were of a deep green color.
On the wall outside of the stalls there was a tall mirror and also some benches. If it wasn't for the two curtains pulled shut and the sound of movement inside the stalls you would think they were alone there.
Rachel enters one of the cubicles and closes the curtain after sending a small smile to Quinn. Not long after that, Santana and Brittany joined them. The tall blonde quickly entered the stall beside the one used by Rachel.
"Did shorty already tried out something?" Santana asks sitting next her best friend.
"No she just got in… I don't know if she will show me though." Quinn shrugs while answering.
"No fun!" Santana protests before smiling deviously. "Berry, don't forget to come out and give us a show!" the gorgons says aloud
"I will!" Rachel says back happily.
Quinn should know she could hear them… she had planned asking for Quinn's opinion from the start, but hearing the tone of Quinn voice when she said she wasn't sure about it made Rachel want to show it to the girl even more.
The first pair of jeans was easy. It wasn't as tight as the others, but it had a low cut that a hole for her tail was barely needed.
"Good!" Santana clapped her hands.
"I don't know…" Rachel hums looking at the big mirror.
"It looks good! What you're not sure about?" Santana asks in horror
"S, don't pressure her." Quinn tried to sound stern, but was too busy checking Rachel out. "But, Rachel… they look... Rally good on you."
I mean, you could see her stomach… her abs… she sure had a great body, and her ass… And that's when she notices what Rachel wasn't so sure about. The pants clearly weren't made for their kind of folks or any other creature that had a tail.
"Oh!" Quinn exclaims…
"Yeah…" Rachel breathed happy that she understood.
"What!?" The gorgon asked really confused.
"We have tails dumbass." Quinn says rolling her eyes "These pants may be low cut, but they're not made for us to wear."
"I thought all pants came with a tail hole by now!" Santana defended herself.
Quinn was probably about answer with a harsh remark when they were interrupted by Britt and another woman.
The woman simply smiled at them and went away, while Britt gave Rachel a tight hug before sitting next to her girlfriend.
"You look good, Rachie." The nymph says with an easy smile.
"Thank you, Brittany, but I'm not keeping this one." The kitty girl answers before giving a last look to the mirror "I do look good on them though… a shame."
"Why she isn't going to keep them if she liked?" Britt asks confused when Rachel once again went inside the stall.
"It probably hurts her tail." Quinn answered.
Brittany nodded in understanding. Quinn often told her that their tail can be very sensitive. Not only to arousal, but to pain too.
While they waited for Rachel to come out again the woman on the last stall came out and went away leaving them alone in the room.
The second pair fitted Rachel perfectly. They were obviously too long on her, but the waist line and the tightness were just perfect. It easily got everyone's approval.
The third and last pair picked by Santana seemed to be causing the girl a little problem tough. Rachel had disappeared inside the stall 10 minutes ago and still no signal of her coming out of it.
"Hey, Berry! What's happening in there?" Santana asks getting annoyed with the wait.
"Uh… just some little trouble…" the Kitty girl sounded a little embarrassed which couch Santana's curiosity, of course.
"Need help?" the latina asked with a mischievous smile.
"Actually? Yes I need help." The small brunette answered before popping her head out of the stall still holding the curtain closed. "Hm… Q-quinn… could you help me a little bit?" She asked blushing, her ears pulled and trembling a little.
