Disclaimer: Don't own anything : (.
CH2 : When new doors open…
Santana , Brittany and Rachel walked down the halls to the parking lot. The Latina's phone rang and she answered it with reflex.
"Hey Beyonce." She said .
"That would be awesome." She said with a smile and hung up.
Rachel turned to the Latina with raised eyebrows as Brittany opened the door to Santana's car.
"We're going shopping for the new bikini's and then we're meeting up with the group and going to see Eclipse." Santana explained. She then turned to Rachel. "You have a curfew?" Rachel shook her head.
"No, my dad's are gone most of the time." The brunette said bitterly. Santana started the car and they sped out of the parking lot and drove towards Latinas house. "You said the group… are they coming along?"
Santana snorted. "As if."
"So, heard Sylvester is giving the final so called 'quest' for the head cheerleader." Brittany said while rearranging her hair in her pocket mirror. Santana sighed frustratingly.
"Oh, what is it this time?" She said through clenched teeth, annoyed that Sylvester wasn't going to give her the title. Santana deserved it.
"You have to arrange the cheering tumble routine for our up coming baseball games." The sweet blond said , still distracted by her reflection. Rachel saw the Latina roll her eyes in the rearview mirror and decided to help out.
"Well, you could always divide the girls into three lines… the first line could do splits. Once they're done, the second line could perform a Salto and cartwheel out to left and right and at the end the third line could ..or maybe one of your more skilled cheerios could do a triple twist and the girls around her could do a flip and then the girl in the middle could do an x-out…" The brunette proposed, slightly embarrassed that even more of her past was revealed.
Brittany and Santana froze and stared at Rachel.
"Nice idea. I like it." Brittany said happily and looked at Santana for confirmation.
"How do you know all this Rach." Santana said .
"Promise you wont tell anyone? I don't want anyone to know anything- yet." The brunette said.
"Promise." The two cheerios said together and silently waited for Rachel continue.
The brunette continued. " Before I moved here, I went to 's High school, and I was a cheerleader-"
"You were a cheerleader? And what do you mean high school?" Santana interrupted.
"I came here at the beginning of Sophomore year. I did my freshman year in California. So as I was saying, I was a cheerleader and I was about to get nominated to head cheerleader but my Rabbi died and I had to move to Washington. I hated it there, and then my dads got an offer here in Ohio and that's how it all happened." Rachel finished.
"You were popular." Brittany said.
"Don't you miss it?" The Latina wondered.
"Yeah, but I didn't even have a chance to show the real me before I got a slushy in the face by Noah. Then I started wearing my bad clothes like these jumpers because I didn't want all my good stuff to go to waste…" Rachel said.
"I'm sorry I ever did this to you, Rach." Santana said.
"Yeah, me too." The sweet cheerio added. Santana parked her car in front of the mansion.
"Is this your house?" Rachel asked as they stepped out of the car. Santana nodded and took Rachel's hand, and opened the front door. "What are we doing here?"
"We're gonna change." Santana said and led the girl upstairs, letting her hand go when they neared a white door. The Latina opened the door and went straight to another door, opening it and walking in, probably the closet. Rachel took her time to take in her surroundings. The walls were Red, a passionate color that fit Santana. The room had Swedish floor with a huge rounded ,black carpet half way under the bed. The bed was black and had a leather frame, the sheets were also red and black.
Santana walked out of the closet with three outfits complete with shoes.
"I-I don't have and change of clothes with me." Rachel said but was pushed into the bathroom by Santana, with and outfit hanging down from the hanger.
Santana picked her out a tank top with stripes on it, from four shades of purple, grey skinny jeans and white gladiators.
This is the kind of outfit that Rachel wore in California… where she was popular, hot and where everyone liked her.
She stripped from her normal attire, the combination of skirt, knee high socks, tight shirt, granny jumpers and ballet flats.
She put on the outfit Santana picked and looked at herself in the mirror, remembering the times from California. She brushed her hair with her hands and swept one of her side to the other side a bit, making her look better. She walked out of the bathroom to see the both cheerios already dressed.
The Latina had put on a long white shirt that had a red heart on it and said 'Kiss Me', black long leggings and red gladiators.
The sweet Blond had put on a pink shirt that said I love Ken, with a strike across his name and instead, underneath it said Shoes. She had put on short denim shorts along with pink ballet flats. Both girls putting on lipstick. Santana chose hot red while Brittany decided on soft pink.
Santana turned around and smirked at Rachel's out fit.
"You look smokin' Rach." Santana complimented and took some black tube from her vanity and walked towards Rachel.
She opened the tube and Rachel sighed with relief when she realized it was mascara. Santana applied the mascara to Rachel's top lashes and smiled at her creation.
I'm gonna bet with Puck that Mike's is gonna walk into the nearest object when he see's Rach. The Latina smirked smugly.
I don't know if I'm right, but I think that Puck wants to get back together with Santana… Rachel's thought trailed off.
I wonder if Matt owns any unicorns… The rather not smart blond thought.
"Let's go." Santana announced and walked for the door. The three friends walked down the stairs and walked towards the car, opening the doors and jumping in.
"So, you said you wanted to tell us the secret." Santana said looking at Rachel through the rearview mirror.
"Ill rather show you." Rachel said uneasily.
"You don't have too…" The blonde said trying to comfort her new friend.
"I want to." Rachel reassured them with a smile. The two friends smiled back at her.
"Who do you like Rach?" Santana asked suddenly, Rachel seemed startled and stared at her.
"Don't you think it's a bit too soon for that? You know, after the whole Finn thing?" Rachel asked. The two cheerios exchanged a glance and shrugged.
"No." They both said in unison.
"Well," The brunette started. "I might have a small crush on Mike." She admitted looking down at her lap. Brittany squealed and startled Rachel.
"Sorry, I think I had too much Vitamin E today." Brittany quickly covered.
"Vitamin D, Britt." The Latina corrected her friend.
"Oh." Brittany said in return.
Santana parked the car when they finally reached the mall, the three of them wandering from shop to shop, never finding what they were looking for. Finally, they reached a big surf shop called Beach City, all of them grinning at each other they ran in, reaching the bikini isle quickly. Why? Before the entered the mall they each promised each other that they wont get the same bikini's, which obviously turned to a bet, of who was going to get the best one. Rachel ran to the dark shades of the isle while Santana ran to the black section. Brittany said she preferred the bright bubbly colors.
After over an hour of trying on the bikini's, Santana decided on a Black Bikini with neon colored shapes on them. She went to the fitting room again and reappeared satisfied. She twirled in her bikini as Rachel and Brittany made wooing noises. Brittany picked out a white bikini with red, blue , green and yellow polka dots and she chose that one. Rachel finally decided on something more elegant. A purple triangle bikini with gold trims. She tried it on and walked out of the fitting room.
"You look Hot Rachel." Santana said with a bright smile and Brittany smiled in approval and nodded.
"You said you wanted to show us the secret." The Latina reminded Rachel, who sighed an turned around.
The two cheerios gasped when they saw what she meant.
Rachel still remembered it when she got it on her 16 birthday. It was a tattoo of black stars above her butt. Her uncle convinced her dads to let her have it and it was a present from him. She loved it, and of course, it was the perfect metaphor of her becoming a star. Perfect.
"Oh, My, Fucking, God. I'm Jealous… You're hotter than me." Santana yelled when she finally comprehended what Rachel was showing them.
"You look so hot Rach, if you weren't straight I would be totally into you right now." Brittany rambled.
"Thanks guys. It was a present from my uncle on my 16 Birthday." Rachel explained as she turned around.
"Go put your clothes on, we need to make it to the movies before 7. It already 6:45." Santana said with a smile as she began walking to the check out. Rachel and Brittany ran back to the changing room and changed quickly. Both of them meeting Santana at the check-out in record time. The girl paid for their bikinis and walked toward the cinema.
"Okay, you won Rach. You won the bet." Santana said as she neared the group of friends. Rachel did a happy dance and smiled widely.
"Won what bet?" Matt asked as he walked up to Brittany and offered her a red rose. The girl except Tina squealed when Matt gave Brittany the rose. Brittany just blushed as they stared at each other with shit eating grins. Santana walked over to Puck, who extended his arm and the Latina accepted it.
"Lookin' Nice Berry." Puck said with his trademark smirk and him and Santana made their way to cinema room 6. Mike made his appearance then , standing up from the floor beside a pole.
"This style fits you." He said with a small smile. "Is your cheek feeling better?" He said, his finger once again trailing her swollen cheek. Mike was just looking for an excuse to touch her. Rachel felt dazed so she just nodded. She saw that Kurt, Brittany and Matt were already gone after Santana and Puck, so she made her way to the aisle to buy her ticket. Mike stopped her and held up two tickets.
"You didn't have to do that, Mike." Rachel said with a sigh.
" I wanted to." Mike said with that smile again and it made Rachel melt. His other hand came from behind him and it revealed a soft pink rose. Rachel gasped and stared at him in shock.
"For me?" Rachel managed..
"For you." He said softly, handing her the rose.
"Thank you." She said, giving him that smile that made her eyes twinkle. Mike smiled in return. Rachel took the rose and breathed it in. Mike offered his arm to her and Rachel took it, slightly leaning into his form.
They Entered Cinema room 6 and went to sit beside Santana and Puck. The credits and adds just ended and the movie began
Half way through the movie she saw Tina and Artie gone, and Brittany and Matt cuddling while Puck stared at Santana with a stupid look on his face, while Santana watched the movie, slightly leaning into Puck. Mike still had his arm left out and Rachel still had her hand in it, both of them leaning into each other, both of them doing these actions unconsciously .
"I'm gonna get some candy, want anything?" Mike asked Rachel.
"No Thank You." Rachel declined politely with a smile throw in his direction. Mike nodded and walked out of the cinema room. The Latina followed, knowing this is the perfect time for them to talk.
When they both made it out of the room, Mike not even knowing Santana was following him.
"I know your little secret." She said smugly. Mike turned around quickly.
"What?" He asked confused. The Latina rolled her eyes once again.
"Let's just say that a little birdie told me something very interesting." She said with a smirk. Mike's brows furrowed before he realized what she was saying, he looked down at the red carpet, finding it very interesting. "I wont tell her. Maybe Ill give her hints, but you're gonna take care of it yourself. Just don't hurt her, I wanna keep her. She's a great friends Mike. Get close to her and get to know her. Oh and just to be clear, she looks even hotter in her bikini than in her current outfit. You'll know what I mean when you see her on Friday." The Latina said.
"Friday?" Mike asked.
"The Pool Party. We're having a Pool Party on Friday at her house." Santana said with a smile. "C'mon . Don't wanna miss the battle scene." Santana said. Mike nodded and they went back inside.
Back when they were sitting again,
"Didn't get any candy?" Rachel asked when she saw him with nothing.
"Nothing good." He lied swiftly, or so he thought. Rachel rolled her eyes because she knew that he knew that she knew that he was lying.
When the movie ended, everyone stood up and stretched as they made their way out of the cinema. Santana and Puck were talking and laughing while Matt and Brittany were already gone and Mike's arm swung around Rachel's arms, none of them noticing. Rachel didn't want the night to end yet.
"Hey, you wanna come to my house guys?" She asked everyone. Puck and Santana who were in front turned to them and immediately noticed Mike's arm, but didn't say anything.
"Sure, I'm only allowed to be out until 10 though. My mom has a night shift." Puck said.
"My Parents are gone to Puerto Rico again, so no curfew for me." Santana said, and Rachel turned to Mike.
"Sure." He said with a smirk. The four glee club members made their way to Santana's car.
"Shotgun." Puck yelled as they neared it. Santana rolled her eyes and Mike and Rachel smiled at them, wondering if they're back together yet. The two teens sat in the back, both on different sides, and both missing the contact. Through out the whole ride, Puck watched them with a knowing smirk on his face. He grabbed Santana's phone and sent a text to everyone besides Mike, Rachel, Quinn, Finn and Mercedes.
Mission Get Cherry Together: ON THE GO.
He pressed send and gave the phone back to the Latina who smiled at him, knowing that the plan is finally working.
When the teens entered the house, their mouths were wide open , well except Rachel's, at the beauty of the house. They living room was a classic black and white theme while the kitchen was red and brown. And the house itself was three stories. The teens sat down on the sofa, observing their surrounding.
Something caught Puck's eye.
"Berry? Why do you have a laundry basket in you livi- Oh." He realized what he was saying and looked down sheepishly .
"Yeah." Rachel said while walking to the kitchen. "What do you guys want?"
"Anything you're having Rach." Mike said and Santana agreed.
"You have any beer?" Puck said.
"No, but I have Wine-"
"Sweet." Puck called out.
"-but we're not drinking on a school night." Rachel finished which made Puck sigh. Rachel came out with three glasses of Orange Juice and one glass with some purple liquid.
"Wine?" Puck asked happily.
"No. Cranberry juice." Rachel said, which made Puck's face turn into disgust, but he still drank it.
"Do you have any Cherry Juice?" Santana teased, but of course Rachel and Mike didn't know what she meant. Puck laughed out loud and startled both of them.
"How many times exactly did your mom drop you on your head when you were little?" Rachel asked.
"None. You don't know what she mea-"
"Yes they do. They just haven't thought about it." The Latina said confidently.
Puck checked the clock beside the plasma TV and sighed.
"Gotta go." He said while standing up.
"Ok." Rachel said sadly, because one of them is going to be gone, but she walked him to the door and told him she'll see him tomorrow.
"You want to stay over Santana?" Rachel asked the Latina as she sat back down. Santana smiled and agreed.
"It'll be soo great, Ill put together some of your clothes from California and we'll make new outfits." She said happily.
"Guess that's my que to leave." Mike said as he too, stood up.
"You don't have to." Rachel protested when Santana was already upstairs looking for the brunettes room.
"It's okay. Ill see you at school tomorrow." He said with that sweet smile and Rachel smiled back and they made their way to the door.
"Thanks' for the movie thing." Rachel said awkwardly. Mike smiled and kissed Rachel on the forehead.
"Have a good night. Sweet dreams." He wished the girl. Rachel just nodded, still overwhelmed by his actions. Mike smiled again and then he was gone. Rachel closed the door and locked it, shutting the lights of in the kitchen and living room as she made her way upstairs, to the Master Bedroom. See, since her daddies are gone most of the time, they gave her free reign of the house and let her have the Master Bedroom. She opened the door and the door from her walk in Closet was opened. Santana was in there with clothes all laid out everywhere, as she slowly pulled together outfits.
"It was a date." The Latina said.
"No it wasn't." Rachel said, but still could keep the stupid shit eating grin off her face.
"Yes it was. I bet he's skipping all the way back to his house now." Santana said as she turned around with her famous smirk and an outfit put together. It looked perfect.
"You're wearing this tomorrow. I'm gonna pull some more outfits together and then we can sleep." Santana said.
The girls spent their night laughing, gossiping and putting together outfits.
Just before they went to sleep, Santana asked Rachel a question.
"Do you like Mike, now?" She asked.
"Yes." Rachel smiled.
Rachel heard something along the lines of 'good' when Santana muttered something, but she let it go and let sleep overtake her visions.
