Here you go! A little chapter with some cute Quitt-ness Review please! It's nice to know some people are still reading this. Lol. I had more to this chapter, but I decided to cut it because if I continued it would've been super long - which ultimately means I have half of the next chapter done, meaning a closer update. ANYWAYS, lately I feel like Heather and Dianna want Quitt to happen. AM I RIGHT? K, thanks. Have a nice day ;)
CHAPTER 24
A few more weeks of the school year had passed and Glee club began their preparation for competition with Mr. Schuester's weekly assignments. Sam had recently joined the club, but was still the awkward quarterback, still trying to fit in. Much to Quinn's dismay, Brittany and Santana made up after their little fight, however Santana gave Brittany her space. Quinn couldn't figure out whether Santana was keeping her distance because she was plotting some big plan to take Brittany away, or if she got the picture and lost interest. Quinn had a feeling it wasn't the latter; after all, they were all cheerios together, so she knew that Brittany and Santana couldn't really not interact with each other. And Puck, well he was off in juvie for crashing his mom's car into a convenience store and stealing an ATM machine. He needed a break from the late night talks from Santana.
Mr. Schuester, announced the weekly assignment was duets with a little added competition. "You all have til Friday to choose a partner and the performances start on Monday." Mr. Schue explained. The majority of the New Directions were pretty excited to partner up and compete against each other especially for the free gift certificate to Breadstix.
The next day, at their lockers.
Quinn stood at her locker, waiting for Brittany, who seemed out of it since yesterday after Glee club. The day before, Brittany had asked Quinn to take her straight home, not even asking if she wanted to stay for dinner like she usually did. All Quinn got was a quick peck and "I love you, bye" before Brittany bolted into her house like she had some really important plans. She didn't even hear from Brittany the whole morning, but luckily since they had the next class together, she was bound to see her girlfriend and see what was up. They had been doing so well and she didn't want anything or anyone to ruin that.
"Quinnie, sorry I didn't pick up any of your calls yesterday or this morning. I've been trying to think of a duet for us to sing ever since we got our assignment and I was thinking that we could write a duet for each other. What do you think Quinnie the Pooh, isn't that an awesome idea?" Brittany said beaming, clearly excited to sing a duet with Quinn.
"Aww Brittany, baby, that's…" it became clear to Quinn why Brittany was such in a rush yesterday and she felt bad for even slightly thinking that another person was involved.
"Yeah that's why I was a bit more spacy than usual. I just wanted to surprise you with a duet idea, because we're gonna look so hot singing a song together."
And Quinn felt even more guilty about what she was about to tell Brittany.
"We definitely would look hot singing a duet to each other, but um Finn and manhands asked me if…"
"…but that would be like a tr-uet, a threesome or something…" Brittany interrupted. Quinn heard the sadness in her voice, but continued, as she held Brittany's hand.
"Yeah…they asked me to partner up with Sam since he's new to glee club and still a bit socially awkward. They want him to feel welcome and they don't want to be scared off, you know? They thought I'd be the best candidate since I'm the head cheerio…" Quinn explained to Brittany.
"But you're neighbors…and I thought…I assumed that you'd be my partner, since we're more than neighbors…"Brittany retorted, shrugging her shoulders somewhat understanding what Quinn was getting at.
"I thought you and I would be partners too, but I think they have a point. We need a 12th member and I've heard him sing before. He's good."
"Yeah, that makes sense…" Brittany nodded, also wondering how Quinn heard Sam sing.
"If you don't want me to, I won't. He could sing with Mercedes or Santana or something." Quinn urged on. If Brittany didn't want her to, she wouldn't. She would convince the next popular cheerleader to take her spot as Sam's duet partner, even if it meant that she actually had to have a conversation with Santana.
"No, no it's okay. We do need another member and if Finn and Rachel want you to, you should. I mean, they are the Queen Bee's of glee club, just like you're the Queen bee of the Cheerios." Brittany gave Quinn a small smile.
Quinn returned the smile even though she felt a little guilty for turning her own girlfriend down for a little duet competition for Glee club. "We could have our own private little duet." Quinn said pulling Brittany closer, not caring who saw.
"Yeah? Then can we do it?" Brittany suggested, giggling at herself for even coming up with that little pun.
"Hi Quinn. Hi Brittany." Sam walked by the two blondes interrupting their moment in the hallway. Sam was a dork, but you couldn't hate him if you tried.
"My girlfriend wants to be your duet partner. You should feel special." Brittany turned away from Quinn and stared Sam straight in the eye."
"What can I say? I know how to charm 'em." Sam said smiling.
"No funny business, mister." Brittany said poking Sam in the chest. "I'm serious. I'll get Lord Tubbington to sit on your face."
"I…what? Okay…wait, are you serious? I thought you were joking…you're not going to sing a duet together? I thought you were dating."
"I'm serious as a block of cheese and we are dating…if you win the gift certificate, I'm taking your half, just so you know."
Quinn just stood there smiling at the little banter going on between the other two blondes.
"No funny business…I promise." Sam defended with a smirk. "But, I'll see you guys later, gotta get to class." Sam said, still a little confused.
Brittany narrowed her eyes at the back of Sam's head as he walked away. Quinn let her attention go back to Brittany and she found the little display of jealousy adorable, because she had yet to experience it.
"Baby B, look at me." Quinn said snapping Brittany out of her thoughts and Brittany was met with a smirk. "Remember, it's just a duet."
"You have a thing for blondes." Brittany replied with a straight face.
"I have a thing for one blonde and me and that blonde should get to class too before we're late." Quinn leaned up to give her girlfriend a quick peck before taking her hand and walking down the hall.
"That's not natural." Brittany said as they reached their classroom and took their regular seats in the back. Quinn gave Brittany a questioning look.
"His hair. I don't think he's a natural blonde. I am though, and that's why you love me." Brittany said proudly as she flaunted her own hair.
"I love you for more than that…a lot more than that."
