Those Ever Present Feelings

Chapter 3- Uh Oh!

Rachel brings one shaky hand up to the doorbell and rings it. She hears someone running to the front door, and is rewarded by a flash of blonde before she is enveloped into a huge hug.

"RACH! I'm so glad you made it!" Quinn seems to be a little excited.

"Hey Quinn, I wouldn't miss this for the world! I get to have a slumber party with the unholy trinity, why would I ever miss this!" Rachel didn't even register that Santana and Brittany were hovering next to the front door watching their interactions very closely.

"Babe look at them! They're totally into each other!" Santana whispered to her girl.

"I know Sanny, what have I been trying to tell you for ages! They want each other's sweet lady kisses!" Britt didn't even try to whisper- she was completely oblivious to the other girls, they were too busy chatting to notice anyway.

Quinn led the other girls upstairs into her huge bedroom, all set up with sleeping bags and her TV and Santana's karaoke machine.

Santana pulled out a bottle of tequila from her bag, along with some pre mixed vodka drinks.

"Okay, if I am going to be spending my Friday night with the midget I needs to get my drink on!"

"SANTANA! Stop calling her that, it's not nice! We're all friends now; well we said we would try anyway!" Quinn looked livid.

"Alright Q, JEEZ! I'll behave… Snixx might not but I will try!"

Rachel had missed the whole exchange between the two as she was still taking in the sight of Quinn's bedroom.

"Wow Quinn, this room is HUGE! You're so lucky to have all this space; this is about the same size as my bedroom, bathroom and my study room all in one!"

Quinn smiled indulgently at the petite diva, grabbing her hand she leads her into her ensuite bathroom.

"Oh my Barbara! This is HUGE! It has a hot tub in here? Why have you got a hot tub in here?"

"I convinced my parents that I should have one, being the youngest Head Cheerleader in McKinley history, due to all the exercise I need something to relax my muscles, plus it's always nice to show it off!" Quinn laughed at Rachels shocked expression.


Back in the bedroom, after pulling Brittany and Santana apart from their lip locked embrace, they settled in to their respective positions in front of Quinn's wall mounted flat screen TV to watch a movie.

"Alright bitches who wants a drink?!" Santana decided to break the silence between the four girls- she was sick of the so called covert glances Quinn and Rachel were giving each other and she was tired of it. She had caught Rachel staring at Quinn until the blonde looked up and she looked away. Quinn would then, in turn, stare at the diva until she looked too. She was hoping a couple of drinks might give them some courage to finally get over themselves and admit their feelings for each other. All three girls nodded in the affirmative, and Santana and Quinn headed down to the kitchen.

"Alright Q spill your guts. We both know you want the midgets berries now sort your shit out and get it over with already!"

"No need to be so crass Santana. I know I like her but how do you know she likes me? I don't want to put myself out there only for her to shoot me down."

"Q, judging by the looks she's been giving you all night, I have a feeling she won't. she's been giving you the biggest puppy dog eyes I've ever seen! You're both lucky Snixx hasn't made an appearance cause you both would have heard about it by now!"

Santana and Quinn made their way back to the bedroom where Brittany and Rachel were waiting, carrying shot glasses, salt and lemons.


After a few shots, the girls sat down with their premixed drinks and settled in to watch the movie. Brittany and Santana were cuddled up on the floor together, and Quinn and Rachel were sitting on Quinn's comfortable couch. The girls were getting comfortably drunk – not too drunk but enough to remove their inhibitions. Halfway through the movie, Quinn yawned and accidentally brushed Rachel's arm as she stretched, making Rachel jump and shift slightly. Rachel yawned and shuffled closer to Quinn, snuggling into her. Quinn shifted so she could put her arm around the diva, stroking her arm lightly.

"I-is this okay with you Quinn? If you're uncomfortable I can move.."

"NO! Don't move, I mean it's fine, it's actually quite nice."

Rachel looked up at the blonde, not realising how close their faces had become. Quinn closed the gap between the two and pressed her lips to the diva's. Rachel was shocked but returned the kiss, running her tongue along Quinns lip, requesting entry. Their tongues begun the slow dance that seemed to go too fast yet slow at the same time. Rachel pulled away still with the look of shock on her face.
