Disclaimer: I own nothing (for now).
A/N: Sorry for the delay but I have a good reason. I was selected to be one of 15 filmmakers chosen to write, shoot and edit a short film for the OutSet: The Young Filmmakers Project from LifeWorks and Outfest! My short film will be shown at the Fusion film festival and OutFest film festival in LA! I'm so excited! But I wanted to share my joy with all of you, and that's a big reason as to why I've been M.I.A lately.
Also, just to address a few questions.
Xom: Yes, this is pretty much AU and later in this chapter your question to the "highschool backstory" should be answered.
There.; Yes, Brittany will make an appearance. I will not tell you when and where. But trust me she shall appear soon!
Mm-Burnt-Toast-mM: I believe the answer to your question will be answered in this chapter, or at least implied ;)
So again, I hope you forgive me for the delay and please enjoy the chapter.
*~*~*~* Chapter 4
Quinn laid her head back against the chair as she threw her tiny black stress ball into the air and caught it.
"Excuse me, Quinn?"
Quinn shot her head forward as she sat up straight and stared at the person in the doorway.
"Yes?" Quinn replied as an intimidated brunette with medium length hair knocked on the door and hesitantly cleared her throat.
"Umm, I have the agenda for today," the brunette stated as she avoided Quinn's gaze causing the blonde to smirk and bid her forward. The brunette slowly approached Quinn and placed the papers into the blondes' awaiting hands causing the blonde to chuckle.
"You the new intern?" Quinn questioned as she raised an eyebrow and the brunette nodded her head and bit her lip. "This is your first internship huh?"
The brunette raised her head a little surprised as she briefly met hazel eyes and nodded once more. "This is my first, umm, anything."
Quinn chuckled as she stared at the young intern. "How old are you?"
"18."
Quinn raised an eyebrow at the intern and smiled at the brunette's nervousness. She reminded Quinn of Rachel of when she had first met the feisty diva back in their freshmen orientation for college. But back then Rachel had yet to show her feisty diva's traits. When they first met each other, the 18- year old Rachel was surprisingly nervous and very shy. But it wasn't until the pair had gotten to know each other better that the blonde realized that the brunette was as far away from shy as possible, the complete opposite in fact. Quinn chuckled once more as she faced the young intern and smiled. "What's your name?"
"Umm," the intern hesitated as she tugged at her shirt and bit her lip once more. "It's Jane."
"Jane huh?" Quinn stated as she smiled at the brunette and stood up as she extended her hand. "Well, Jane it's nice to meet you, I'm Quinn."
The brunette briefly bit her lip as she approached Quinn and shook her hand lightly. "It's nice to meet you too Quinn," Jane stated as she finally fully met the blonde's gaze. "I look forward to working with you."
"Same," Quinn stated as she felt the young intern release her hand and begin to exit the office. Images flooded Quinn's mind as she smiled to herself.
"Rachel Berry, it's nice to meet you," Rachel stated a little more confidently as she shook Quinn's offered hand. "I look forward to working with you, and becoming your friend."
"Friend huh?" Quinn questioned as she shook the tiny brunette's hand. " I look forward to becoming your friend too."
Quinn smiled at the fond memory as she shook her head and laughed. 'Rachel always knew what she wanted,' Quinn thought to herself as she chuckled but quickly coughed as flashes of the previous night's dream invaded her mind.
"Fuck, I'm going to cum," Quinn moaned out as she squeezed her eyes shut and felt the fingers pound her mercilessly.
"Say my name baby."
Quinn moaned as she felt he walls convulse and felt her release let go. "Rachel…"
Quinn quickly shook her head at the images and coughed once more. 'Fuck what is going on? I keep having these inappropriate thoughts about Rach. I-I should take Rachel out- out, I mean for drinks, tonight. It's been awhile since her and I have hung out,' Quinn thought to herself and nodded. 'Yeah, that's it. I'll take her out for drinks, that's all. Rachel and I can just have drinks and maybe I can finally get to the bottom of her, fuck, I mean of all of this.'
Quinn sighed as dropped her head to her desk. "I'm so fucked."

SLopez (9:12am): hahaha.
RBerry *(9:12 am): What's so funny?
SLopez (9:13 am): I don't believe you really convinced admin to let you put an asterisk next to your name.
RBerry* (9:13 am): Of course I did. It's imperative that I have a symbolic star next to my name.
SLopez (9:14 am): Right…
RBerry* (9:14 am): =[
SLopez (9:15am): Geez, Rach. Lighten up, I'm just kidding. I know you're going to be a big star someday so that star has to be next to your name.

"I swear to God, Lindsay is just out to ruin my life!" Santana bellowed as Rachel opened the door to the fuming Latina.
"Hi San," Rachel stated as she took a seat at the kitchen bar and watched as the Latina stormed to the kitchen island and placed down a few take out boxes.
"All she does is bitch," Santana stated as she walked over to the cabinet, pulling out two plates and utensils. Rachel leaned her chin on her hand as she watched the Latina storm around the kitchen preparing their meal, while she muttered "evil bitch" under her breath.
'So, adorable,' Rachel thought to herself as Santana stopped in her tracks and whipped around to face the brunette.
"Adorable?" Santana questioned as Rachel's eye's widened in shock.
"Did I just say that out loud?" Rachel questioned as her cheeks began to color and the Latina nodded.
"So you think I'm adorable huh?" Santana asked as she sauntered over to brunette with a plate of food in hand and placed it in front of the diva. Santana slowly leaned into the brunette, as her lips brushed along the diva's ear and slowly breathed out. "Glad to know."
Rachel blushed as Santana leaned back and smirked at the brunette, earning a slap from the smaller girl. Santana gave a low chuckle as she pulled the brunette off her seat and led her to living room couch.
"I hope you like Pad Thai," Santana stated as she sat down next to the brunette who nodded.
"I do. Thank you," Rachel stated and smiled.
The meal went by peacefully and the pair soon found themselves brainstorming of what their game plan would be.
"San, no," Rachel stated as she tried to lift Santana's head off her lap.
"Seriously Rach, do you think me just sitting next to you, is going to make Quinn jealous?" Santana questioned as settled herself into a comfortable position, with her head staring up at the diva. Rachel stared down at the Latina as she started biting on her lip.
"You know, you're going to ruin those sexy lips of yours if you don't stop gnawing on them," Santana stated as she stared up at the brunette and placed her fingertips on the smaller girl's lips to stop her actions. Rachel immediately stilled as she felt the Latina caress her lips and slowly glazed her cheek. The brunette unconsciously closed her eyes at the soft touch as she felt herself being pulled in by the Latina, her lips getting closer and her breathing becoming more rapid.
"You're so beautiful," Santana stated and caressed Rachel's face once more as she felt her lips just a breath away from the brunette's, and with neither of the pair hearing the opening of the apartment door.
"Hey, Rach-" Quinn began but quickly shut her mouth as she stared at the pair who lay in a very intimate position.
Rachel snapped her head up at the sound of her name and met cloudy hazel eyes as both her and Santana sat up from their compromising positions.
"Oh, umm, sorry," Quinn stated lamely as she stared at the pair. "I didn't mean to interrupt you two."
"No worries," Santana stated as she slung her arm over Rachel's shoulders and quickly gave a brief a kiss to the brunette's cheek. Rachel immediately blushed at the contact and gave a shy smile.
"Umm," Quinn stated awkwardly as she watched the pair interact. "I think I'm going to head out again. I'll, uh, see you later Rach, err, Santana."
"Later," Santana stated as she watched the blonde quickly exit the room and immediately turned her attention to the brunette who gave a small smile and shrug.
"I guess that worked," Rachel stated as her eyes met fiery brown ones and saw the Latina lean in once more.
"Santana, what are you doing?" Rachel questioned as she placed a hand in front of the Latina's chest to stop her. Santana slowly glanced down to the hand in front of her and quickly placed her hand over the brunette's as she carefully moved it to the side. "I'm finishing what I started," Santana stated as she slowly leaned in and captured the brunette's lips on hers.

"I'll take a double," Quinn stated as she sat down at the bar and watched as the bartender poured the clear liquid into a tall shot glass. The blonde quickly picked up the glass and knocked back the drink, feeling the familiar burn.
"Rough night?" He questioned as he refilled the glass and stared at the blonde. Quinn stared at the glass, observing the liquid swish within the glass as flashes of Rachel and Santana burned in her mind. She shook her head at the images as she quickly knocked back the shot and stared at the bartender, "You could say that."
