Chapter 22: Lost in Your Wonderful Ways
"You don't find love, it finds you. it's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and
what's written in the stars."
-Anais Nin
/
Rachel was leaning against the door frame of the dance room; she was watching Tina finishing up in Cassie's dance class and she couldn't help but smile as Cassie continued to show Tina her brand of love which Rachel was… and still is very familiar with.
"Do you think that just because you are a two time national show choir champion; that makes any difference to me? You could be a two time Tony award winner and I would still say that your dancing needs work… and do you know why?"
"N-No," Tina stammered in a way that reminded Rachel of the shy Tina she used to know.
"Be-cause YOUR dancing… needs work!" Cassie yelled and then Rachel giggled. Cassie's heard her and looked over smirking. "Well, well, well if it isn't the biggest pain in the ass to ever grace my classroom." She waved Rachel in and Rachel walked closer. She knew Cassie was about to try to embarrass her or make a fool of her and she didn't even care.
She knew how the woman really felt about her and that was all that mattered.
She winked at Tina as she walked by noticed she looked more comfortable now that she was there.
"Listen up!" Cassie called to the class that had lined up in front of her. "Here to grace us with her presence is Miss Rachel Berry," the class cheered but the cheering died out when they saw Cassie glaring at them. "Miss Berry has landed a role in an off-Broadway production and all of a sudden she thinks she is a badass or something," her eyes landed on Rachel's again. "Talk to me when you get a real role."
"Oh you can damn well bet I will," Rachel sneered and Cassie held back a laugh. She looked over at her class. "You are all dismissed for today," she called and the students started to leave. As Tina crossed in front of her she held her hand up to stop her and Tina looked nervous.
"Not you," she said and then she looked at Rachel. "You two know each other right?"
"Y-Y-Yes Miss July," Tina stammered again.
"I thought I saw you at that party," she smiled at Tina. "What's wrong Chang? I don't bite."
"Don't listen to her Tina… she does bite I saw it happen once," Cassie laughed. "And she is only picking on you because you're good."
"Wait, hold the fucking phone," Cassie yelled and looked at Tina again. "How do you know each other?"
"We went to high school together," Tina answered feeling a bit more sure of herself after what Rachel had said.
"Seriously do they like breed talent in Ohio or something?" She sounded annoyed and Tina noted that Rachel was smirking and nodding.
"See I knew you liked me; and Tina too," Rachel teased. "But seriously I came here today for a reason."
"I hope it wasn't to look at my ass Rachel because that is highly inappropriate," Cassie teased right back, and Rachel laughed.
"Am I dismissed Miss July?" Tina asked nervously. "Because I have class with Miss Tibideaux and I don't want to be late."
"Yeah you're free to go… but I want to see improvement by the next class or I will make you perform a routine in front of the entire class."
"Yes Miss July," Tina said as she left.
"No she won't," Rachel called after Tina and saw her friend smile at her.
"I'll see you later at the party Rachel," Tina called and Cassie looked from one girl to the other.
"I'm hurt Rachel… I thought we were friends."
"We are Cassie; in fact that is why I'm here. I'm having a party tonight at my place to celebrate how awesome I am," Cassie rolled her eyes. "And I would like you to come by if you're not busy."
"I-I don't know I mean I might have something."
"My mom will be there."
"What time?" She asked a little too anxiously and Rachel laughed at her eagerness and walked away. "Oh fuck you Rachel," she yelled after her.
"The party is at 7… call if you need the address," she turned back with a smile. "And thank you Cassie, really. I don't think I would be in the right mindset or have the right temperament to already have an off Broadway role if it weren't for you." She watched as Cassie smiled and nodded. "Which is why I didn't give you shit for being mean to Tina; I know it's just because you think she's good and let me tell you something… she is amazing."
"I already know that Berry… I know talent when I see it and then I try to crush that person's spirits just enough to toughen them up for this business."
"I know that Miss July," she said before ducking out of the class.
Quinn was happy; Rachel had picked her up at the train station for their anniversary weekend which was being kicked off with a celebratory party in Rachel's honor for having landed the role in The Glass Menagerie.
Quinn was sitting on the couch in Rachel's apartment and she was very, very happy.
She was happy because Rachel- her incredibly sexy girlfriend- was currently straddling her lap and sucking on her neck.
"Mm Rachel… that's um," she trailed off because words were failing her with Rachel's hot mouth and tongue doing what it was doing. She let her head fall back against the couch and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as Rachel continued to assault her neck.
Rachel was in heaven; not only was Quinn in New York for their anniversary weekend she was also currently underneath her and completely at her mercy. She knew she would never tire of this feeling and she would never get tired of making Quinn's body respond like this.
"Baby," she moaned into the neck before pulling her face away and looking at her face. When her eyes opened; Rachel saw the incredible mixture of love and lust looking back at her.
And that was one of her favorite looks on Quinn.
"God I love you," she hummed and then Quinn smiled and she looked even more beautiful- if that were possible. "And I love getting lost in you Quinn."
"I love every single part of you Rachel," she replied and saw Rachel's eyebrow quirk up in a way that Quinn knew was a challenge.
"Oh yeah… and what's your favorite um… part," she said the last word in a tone that had Quinn so turned on.
The word was dripping with sex.
"Well," Quinn sat up and leaned over Rachel's neck. "I love that when I kiss this part right here… you shiver," she kissed where her neck meets her shoulder and of course Rachel shivered.
"Hmm," Rachel sighed happily.
"And I love that when I glide my fingers right here," she trailed her fingers up Rachel's inner thigh and under the hem of her skirt. "That it leaves a trail of chill bumps," they both looked at Rachel's leg and saw that she was right. "But mostly I love that I'm the only person that knows these things about you," Rachel nodded. "The only person that has ever known what turns you on."
"And the only person who ever will Quinn," Rachel promised and even though Quinn knew that without a doubt; her eyes still lit up upon hearing it.
"I love that we know each other so well… mind, body, and soul-" Rachel interrupted her with a kiss.
"I love that about us too Quinn," she said between kisses but when Quinn deepened the kiss she moaned into it and knew that there would be no more talking. She felt Quinn's hand slide up the back of her shirt and then she grasped the hem and pulled the shirt over her head. She tossed it to the side and then reconnected their lips. Quinn was reaching for the clasp of her bra when they heard Santana's voice.
"Fucking hell," Rachel squealed and Quinn did her best to cover up her half naked girlfriend as Santana, Brittany, and a girl they had never seen before walked in.
"What the fuck Santana!" Quinn yelled as Rachel discreetly reached for her shirt to put it back on.
"Oh don't fucking yell at me in my own house Q… and you said that Britt and I needs to leave tomorrow night for your yearly anniversary freak fest not tonight… so don't fucking yell at me for coming home to my house. If you want to fuck Berry she has a bedroom," Quinn smiled at Santana as Rachel- now fully dressed- climbed off of her lap. She looked over at the girls.
"It's fine… it's just boobs right, we all have them and we've all seen them," she looked at Santana's friend and smiled. "Hi… I'm Rachel and this is Quinn," she pointed to a still sitting and blushing Quinn. "And I'm sorry you walked in on that."
"It's cool," the girl said with an awkward wave. "I'm uh… Sofia; and I work with Santana at Starbucks."
"Oh," Rachel said with a smile. "Well it's nice to meet you."
"Enough of the pleasantries Berry… you needs to call your boy Man Candy because Sofia is just the girl he has been looking for all this time… and we're going to make it happen," Rachel's smile widened and she walked over to her.
Brittany in the meantime sat down next to Quinn and rolled her eyes.
"Oh well then it's a real pleasure to meet you," she held out her hand and the girl shook it. "Brody is wonderful and you are just going to love him."
"Oh so… he does have a name," she said with a nervous chuckle. "Santana has been referring to him as Man Candy for days now," Rachel laughed at that. "And I'd really love to meet him but I don't think I'm looking for anything serious I just broke up with someone like a month ago and-"
"It's fine Sofia," Rachel cut her off holding her hand up to shush the girl and she complied. "Just meet him… he's lovely and the worst that could happen is that you gain a new friend, right?" Sofia nodded.
"Yeah that's the worst that could happen," Brittany said quietly for only Quinn to hear and Quinn giggled.
"Yeah so get one of your ugly as fuck dresses on Berry and call Man Candy because tonight… Auntie Snix wants to party." Rachel squealed and rushed off to her room to get ready while Santana brought Sofia to her room. Brittany again looked at Quinn.
"This is going to end badly isn't it?" She asked and Quinn nodded.
"Probably; but it's in our best interest to just let Rachel and Santana do this and hope that Sofia and Brody are still friends with them when it inevitably explodes in their faces."
"So we support them… but we say as little as possible."
"Exactly," Quinn agreed. "Now, let's go get ready to celebrate my amazing girlfriend being, well… amazing." Brittany giggled.
"We really miss having you around Quinn," she said sincerely and Quinn nodded. "I mean obviously Rachel misses you the most but we all miss you. It's just not the same."
"I know but-"
"No I get it Quinn… you don't have to explain to me. I understand how important this is to you. I just thought you should know that we all miss you just as much as Rachel does."
"Thanks Britt."
"Well not as much as Rachel because she seriously misses you," Quinn giggled at that. "Like to an annoying level."
"Yeah I understand that. I know Sawyer is sick and tired of hearing me whine about Rachel."
"Got that right bitch," Sawyer's voice sounded and both girls looked up to see her walking into the apartment followed closely by Puck.
"Hey guys," Quinn got to her feet and greeted them. "So you just walk in now?"
"Yeah I do… because Rachel once said to make myself at home and this ain't your house so why you bitching?" Quinn hugged her.
"Glad you could make it."
"Are you kidding?" Puck said. "My Jew bro is making the big time and the Puckasaurus never misses a party."
"Oh the Puckasaurus huh? I thought you retired him when you got all domestic," Quinn said and he giggled.
"Oh Q," he draped his arm across her shoulder and smirked. "The Puckasarus is still here… he just only sees one woman now."
"He sure as fuck does," Sawyer agreed.
"Whipped," Quinn teased.
"Quinn!" Rachel screamed from her bedroom. "Quinn get in here I need you!" Quinn quickly walked toward Rachel's bedroom and she heard both Sawyer and Puck laughing at her.
"Yeah because Quinn Fabray knows better than anyone what it's like to be whipped," Puck called after her but she didn't even care.
"Hey babe," Quinn said walking into the room, closing the door behind her. "What did you need me umphffff-" as soon as she turned to look at Rachel she felt those lips crash into hers and herself being pushed into the nearby wall. "Mm," she moaned and submitted to the kiss.
"I need your hands on me Quinn," she husked when she pulled out of the kiss. Quinn's lips trailed down her collarbone. "Ooh and your lips… we were doing something wonderful before Santana interrupted and I really need to finish that."
"Mm," Quinn hummed again this time against her heated flesh. "I agree… so where were we?" Rachel stepped back and peeled her eyes over Quinn's luscious body and then licked her lips.
"I believe you were sitting," she said and led Quinn over to the bed and then pushed her down onto it. "And I was," she didn't finish with words instead she pulled her top off and straddled Quinn's hips. "I believe I was right about here… and your hands were," she slid them up her back to her bra strap. "Right… about here," she finished and then started to kiss and suck on Quinn's neck.
"Oh right," Quinn arched into her touch and pulled her bra open. Rachel pulled back to remove her bra. As Quinn stared both girls felt their desire pooling.
"I want you Quinn," Rachel husked.
"So take me," Quinn laid back against the bed and Rachel bit her lip.
"Yes ma'am."
And then she did.
Over and over again.
The party was in full swing and Brody still hadn't arrived.
"He's not even going to show up is he?" Sofia wondered as she stood next to Santana. "I haven't even met him and he's already not interested."
"No dude listen… he's just running late. I know him, he's a decent guy… seriously and you know it takes a lot for me to say that. Stop thinking the worst. He isn't your ex, he's different."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Of course I'm right I'm Santana fucking Lopez," she saw her friend smile and then her own smile widened when she saw Brittany dancing toward her.
"Hey baby," Brittany cooed.
"Hey baby," Santana repeated.
"So I was just dancing and this part of my body," she motioned to her whole front side. "Was lonely without you pressed against it," she grasped Santana's wrist and pulled her closer. "Dance with me."
"Mm… I'd love to babe but, Sofia… I'm not going to ditch her until Man Candy shows up," Brittany smiled and grasped Sofia's wrist with her other hand.
"You're dancing with us too," Brittany told her and could see that she was nervous. "Don't worry we won't touch you in the naughty ways… I save that for Santana, and she saves it for me. Right babe?"
"You bet your ass I do," Sofia laughed at that, smiled at Brittany, and joined the two girls as they danced.
When Brody finally showed up; he rang the doorbell and it was Rachel that answered the door. As soon as she opened the door she saw his worried face and the apologies were falling from his mouth.
"I'm sorry Rachel… I'm so sorry I was stuck at work. We got a new lead actress and I had to stay late and do a chemistry test and-" Rachel held her hand up instantly shushing him.
"It is not me you need to apologize to," Rachel told him and he nodded. She opened the door further and she pointed Sofia out to him," she tugged his arm so that she could whisper in his ear. "Her name is Sofia… she's a bit worried that you blew her off, and she's gorgeous… so go over there and give her some of that charm. Maybe flash that stunning smile, and get yourself a good girl for once," he smirked. "And don't piss me off with that stupid smirk."
"Come on Rach," he teased. "Maybe I'm not such a good guy after all… maybe I am just a pig."
"Oh please, you're so far from a badass Mr. nice guy from Montana," he giggled. "And remember if you piss this girl off you'll have Santana to deal with." His eyes popped out of his head at the thought and he nodded dumbly. Rachel couldn't help but giggle.
"Right… be nice and use my charm."
"Good boy," Rachel patted his arm and sent him on his way. She watched as he walked over to the girl and started up a conversation. Within seconds she was smiling with him and Rachel couldn't help but smile too.
Maybe this girl would be his dream girl.
Then she felt arms circle her waist from behind and she knew instantly from the gentle caress that it was her own dream girl. She leaned her head against Quinn's shoulder.
"What are you thinking?" Quinn whispered into her ear.
"I was just thinking that maybe Brody has found true love with this girl," then she felt Quinn's lips press against the skin behind her ear.
"Mm… true love." Rachel turned in her arms and hugged her tight. "I'm so proud of you Rachel and still so very much in love with you," Rachel bit her lip and pulled Quinn into a heated kiss.
"What the ever loving fuck?" Santana's voice boomed and Rachel pulled off of Quinn's lips to see what was happening. Quinn was dazed for a moment but then she looked over too.
What they saw was that Santana was standing in front of the open door and standing outside was Jesse St. James.
Rachel heard Quinn let out a low growl and it turned her the hell on. Then she noticed Santana's fierce eyes on her.
"So Rachel…care to tell me why Jesse St. Cockhead is standing in front of me right now?" Rachel let out a heavy sigh and Quinn's smile widened.
She had never been happier that Santana was her best friend.
"He's the male lead in my show."
"What the fuck?" Santana yelled and looked back at Jesse as Rachel and Quinn walked toward them. "If those lips," she poked him in the face and he pulled back defensively. "Go anywhere near Berry's lips… scripted or otherwise… Snix will be all over your pretty face, and when she's done it won't be so pretty anymore St. Dickwad."
"Oh so he's Jesse St. Dickface?" Quinn heard Sawyer ask and she couldn't help but laugh. She was glad that this girl was also a great friend of hers. She then saw her girlfriend's glare land on her and she knew she needed to calm Santana down because this was Rachel's first big chance, after all.
"Santana calm down," Quinn got in between Santana and Jesse. "His character and Rachel's character are brother and sister so there will be no kissing," she watched as her best friend calmed down before her eyes but could see that she was still giving Jesse the death glare.
"Even still," Santana glared at him. "Watch your step St. James or you will pay the price," he nodded and she stepped aside to let him in. Then Santana felt Brittany's body collide with her own.
"Santana I find it so fucking hot when you defend Rachel."
"I-I didn't… I wasn't-"
"You were and it's so hot and right now I want you to take me to our bedroom and do insanely dirty things to me," Santana's eyes darkened and she pulled Brittany away from the party and into their bedroom; where they remained for the rest of the night.
Quinn looked at Rachel with her eyes wide and they both giggled.
"I guess Brittany likes Santana's gooey center," she said and Rachel curled her lip.
"Quinn don't ever say that again," she shook her head. "I don't need to hear about Santana's center." Quinn's face blushed bright red.
"No I meant her softer side."
"Oh… Oh thank Barbra," Rachel said relieved and Quinn started to giggle.
"Wow babe you have a pervy mind."
"I know," Rachel said defeated with a heavy breath.
"Hey," Jesse's voice interrupted their banter and Quinn glared at him.
"Hey Jesse thanks for coming," Rachel said sweetly and made sure she interlocked her fingers with Quinn's, to keep her grounded and- as usual- it worked.
"Yeah I wouldn't miss it Rachel," his eyes moved to Quinn's and saw fire looking back at him. "And Quinn, I wanted to apologize for how things looked that day… I was just trying to show Rachel that I've changed and I just would like to be friends."
"It is what it is Jesse," Quinn said with a shrug. "But you should know that I have my eye on you and if you cross a line with Rachel I will make you pay," he gulped and nodded. "And this time I'm not about to have a baby so… I'm pretty sure I'll do more damage." Her eyes darted to his crotch quickly before they locked on his own eyes again. He fought the urge to cover his junk but instead he nodded again and Quinn looked at Rachel.
"Come on baby I would like some alone time with my little star," Rachel melted at those words and looked at Jesse quickly.
"Make yourself at home… the drinks are in the kitchen and I'll be busy with the girl of my dreams," Quinn dragged her off with a giggle and Jesse watched. A part of him would always wish he did things differently with Rachel but he was happy as long as she was. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and found a drink.
Hours later, everyone was quite drunk. Rachel sat on Quinn's lap and was looking around the room. She saw that Brody and Sofia were making out in one corner and Sawyer and Noah were making out in another. She heard Quinn chuckle and knew she was looking too.
"Looks like everyone is getting some," she whispered and then Quinn's eyes bulged out at what was happening up against the breakfast bar.
"Yeah and um… Rach," Quinn said and the tone of her voice had Rachel looking at her. "And when you say everyone… you weren't kidding." Rachel followed her eyes and saw that Shelby was currently being pressed against the breakfast bar by Cassie who was kissing the hell out of her.
"Oh my!" Rachel shouted and covered her eyes; Quinn giggled.
"I-I thought your mom was still seeing Paul."
"I thought so too," Rachel peeked through her fingers at the sight of her mom and her teacher making out like teenagers. "Oh shit Quinn… I-I don't want to look anymore."
"So look at me instead," Quinn cupped her chin and forced their eyes to meet. Quinn smiled that shy smile that she reserved for Rachel only.
"Take me to bed Quinn and get those disturbing images out of my head."
"Yes dear," Rachel got to her feet to let Quinn get up and she dragged Rachel to her bedroom where they spent the remainder of the evening.
Meanwhile the party went on as the three hostesses were taking shelter in their respective bedrooms.
The next morning, Rachel was the first to get up and as she looked around the room; she noticed that some of the party goers had left but most of them were passed out in different positions around the apartment.
So it didn't surprise her that while she was making coffee; Shelby walked into the kitchen and sat at the breakfast bar. Rachel curled her lip at the memory of what had happened in that exact same spot.
"I-I guess I have some explaining to do," Shelby said upon seeing Rachel's expression; Rachel smiled, and put a cup in front of her. She also put one in front of herself and poured coffee into both.
"Let me save you a bit of embarrassment… which is more than I can say for you," she watched as her mom's cheeks blushed bright red. "I-I um, I know about you and Cassie in college."
"She told you!" Shelby shouted and stared with wide eyes.
"Not exactly," Rachel told her and watched as her mom calmed down. "See, she was picking on me in class and Quinn was teasing me that she may have had a crush on me," Shelby nodded. "So I confronted her about it and she said she didn't have a crush on me but that I reminded her of the girl she was…" Rachel trailed off remembering that she had promised not to reveal Cassie's feelings to her mom. "O-Of the girl she had a fling with in college. It wasn't until you guys saw each other at the concert that I realized that girl was you… which explained why I reminded her of you."
"Oh wow," Shelby let out a heavy sigh. "Small world huh?"
"Yeah," Rachel agreed. "And mom," Shelby's eyes met hers. "I don't care if you're gay or bisexual or just a friendly drunk," Shelby laughed at that. "But I do care about you and your feelings… I thought you and Paul were-"
"We broke up."
"Oh." Rachel couldn't think of anything else to say so she just closed her mouth and waited for Shelby to talk.
"Yeah he um," Rachel could tell that her mom was fighting tears. "He wasn't ready to settle down and I am… I have been for several years," Rachel nodded remembering how lonely her mom has been for years.
"Okay and mom," Rachel covered her hand with her own. "I get that you're lonely but you don't have to do this alone… I'm here I don't want you to ever hesitate to call if you need me," it was those words that caused Shelby to finally lose it with the tears. "And also I don't know how Cassie feels about all of this," she lied; still keeping her promise. "But if you were just having fun, or were trying to stop the hurt or whatever… you have to be honest with her…because despite her affinity for being an evil bitch, she does have feelings and-" Shelby held up her hand to shush her and Rachel complied.
"I'll take care of it and make sure she knows I'm in love with someone else," Rachel pouted. She really did feel sorry for Cassie. She was the only one who knew that Cassie was still very much hung up on Shelby; but she just nodded. Shelby got to her feet and leaned over the bar to kiss Rachel's cheek.
"Thanks kid… you're such a grown up," Rachel beamed at that and Shelby left the room to find Cassie and talk to her as Quinn entered the room.
"Hey baby," Rachel greeted a still sleepy and slightly hung over Quinn. She chuckled at the tired look on her face and the hair; which was messed and sticking up in several different directions.
"Hey Rach… I was cold and alone and hung over and I missed you… plus I'm a little sore from our sex fest last night," Rachel giggled. "Can we please go back to bed because I have big plans for you later and I don't want to be a mess?"
"We can do whatever you'd like my love," Rachel moved closer, wrapped her arms around Quinn's neck and pulled her into a chaste kiss, and then rested her forehead against Quinn's.
"I love you Quinn… and I love getting lost in your wonderful ways," Quinn smiled at that.
"And you say I do words well."
"You do everything well," Quinn giggled at that. "Especially me."
"Happy Anniversary Rachel," Quinn said sleepily. "But can we go sleep for the rest of the day?"
"Yes," she agreed and as Quinn pulled her toward the room she couldn't help but revel in that fact that today celebrated five years of getting to love Quinn and being loved by Quinn. "Happy Anniversary to you too, my love."
"Hm," Quinn hummed as she shut the door behind Rachel and looked at her with lust in those sleepy eyes. "Maybe there is time for a quickie before we go back to sleep."
"Oh you're so romantic babe."
"You just wait until tonight."
"I got something up my sleeve too," Rachel said defiantly and Quinn arched her eyebrow.
"Challenge accepted Berry," she teased before pushing a giggling Rachel to the bed and hovering over her. Rachel used all of her strength to flip them over and then she straddled Quinn's waist.
"I plan on recreating our first anniversary… well with a few changes."
"Oh, so no getting tied up," Quinn teased.
"Oh no that'll happen… but there will be," she trailed off and lowered her lips to Quinn's. "Never mind it's a surprise." Quinn laughed pulling Rachel into a heated kiss; which of course led to other things.
But they did eventually fall asleep and were able to sleep off their hangovers.
Quinn walked out of Rachel's room wearing a dark blue dress that hugged her body in the sexiest ways. She was waiting on Rachel who had been finishing up in the bathroom. She couldn't believe that tonight she would get to celebrate five years of loving Rachel.
And being loved by Rachel.
When Rachel finally emerged from the bathroom she lost her breath.
Rachel had been taking her breath away since day one and today was no exception.
Not with her gorgeous girlfriend standing before her wearing a red dress that stopped just above her knees and looked perfect with her skin tone. She felt her mouth water.
"Damn Rachel… you are fucking gorgeous."
"Says the most beautiful girl I have ever seen," Rachel stepped closer and wrapped her arms around Quinn's waist. "You look stunning yourself."
"Well I may have bought this dress with you in mind," Quinn said with a smile and a shrug.
"Oh yeah, and what kind of things were on your mind when you bought it Quinn?"
"I may have been imagining you yanking it off of me when I was in the dressing room trying it on," Rachel's smile widened at that and then she remembered something.
"Wait! Was that the day last week when you randomly started to sext me even though I told you I was in class?"
"Yup that was the day," Quinn blushed.
"Ooh and if I remember correctly you touched yourself in that dressing room didn't you?"
"I did," Quinn admitted and Rachel moaned.
"Mm… you may have to do that again for me to see."
"Whenever you want me to… I'll do it tonight if you want."
"Hm, as tempting as that sounds babe, I already have something planned for later and you are going to love it."
"Of course I will… I will be naked with you naked and there is nothing better than that."
"No there isn't," she slid her hand around the back of Quinn's neck and pulled her into a heated kiss. She felt Quinn's tongue push into her mouth and she welcomed it eagerly. They only separated to breathe and Rachel opened her eyes and met those hazel pools of love. "So are we doing the thing I have planned or the thing you have planned first?"
"Well we agreed that I would handle dinner and you would handle entertainment right?" Rachel nodded. "So dinner first."
"Actually presents first and then dinner," Rachel told her and saw excitement cross Quinn's face.
"Okay," Quinn stepped out of her embrace and heard a slight grumble from Rachel which made her smile. She watched Rachel walk toward her room to get Quinn's gift.
When Rachel returned with gift in hand; Quinn handed her the wrapped box she had in her overnight bag but Rachel shook her head.
"No way Quinn… you first," she handed her the box she was holding and watched as Quinn tore into it.
Inside was a very familiar sight.
It was a black journal with her name imprinted on the front cover; she looked up to see Rachel bite her lip and then shrug.
"What? I'm predictable."
"You're perfect," Quinn said and opened the front cover knowing there would be something written inside and when she saw the quote she grinned.
"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then."
-Lewis Carroll; Alice in Wonderland
When Quinn looked back at her she saw tears in her eyes and she knew Quinn well enough to know they were happy tears.
Quinn was so happy.
No one knew her better than Rachel did and that was the best feeling in the whole world.
"I love that even though we have both changed so much in the last five years, we are still the same two girls who fell in love at first sight," Rachel said and Quinn nodded. "And I want you to know that no matter how much you change I will still be right by your side… changing with you."
"That's good to know," Quinn kissed her with equal amounts of passion and love. When she pulled away she cupped Rachel's cheek, "And you'll see when you open your gift that even though we have changed a lot… some things never will," Rachel arched her eyebrow and then ripped into the package out of sheer curiosity.
What she saw took her breath away.
It was Quinn latest filled journal.
She loved that this was their thing.
Well one of their things.
She would always give Quinn a blank journal and Quinn would always give it back once it was full. It was full of doodles, and poems and short stories and diary entries but each and every one of them were about her.
"Quinn," she said in a love-struck tone and then she flipped to the back of the book knowing that there would be a quote there.
Because she knew Quinn so well.
And she was right.
Some things would never change.
And written in Quinn's handwriting was one of the most beautiful passages she had ever read.
"Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing her? Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home? What we had wasn't about sex, or about being with someone just to show off what you've got, the way it was for other kids our age. We were, well, meant to be together. Some people spend their whole lives looking for that one person. I was lucky enough to have her all along."
-Jodi Picoult; The Pact
Rachel's eyes locked with her own and Quinn could see that there were tears swimming in them. She stepped into Rachel's arms and pressed an incredible kiss to those equally incredible lips and the quote proved to be completely true.
They both felt like they were home when they were together.
When the kiss broke Rachel stared at the face of her angel and felt her insides turn to mush.
"I'm so in love with you Quinn… it hasn't ever stopped it's only gotten deeper."
"Me too… to all of it," Quinn pulled her into another short and sweet kiss. "Now let's go because I'm about to sweep you off your feet Rachel Berry."
"You always do my love," and with that Quinn pulled her out of the apartment and toward the part of the night that Quinn got to choose.
When the taxi pulled up in front of Ellen's Stardust Diner; Rachel let out a squeal that caused Quinn to become very proud of herself; and maybe just a bit smug as well.
"Oh my Barbra… Quinn! I have been dying to go here."
"I know," Quinn said as she paid the driver and got out. She then helped Rachel out as well. When the taxi drove off and they stood in front of the famous restaurant. Quinn wrapped her arms around Rachel's waist. "Are you sure this is okay though … I mean it's not the fanciest place in the world and-"
"Quinn the waist staff sings… it's perfect," she leant up on her toes and pressed a sweet kiss to Quinn's lips. "You're perfect."
"Not even close… I'm just happy to make you happy," she said and Rachel swooned. She loved when Quinn was like this… so free with her emotions. Quinn pulled Rachel's hand into her own and stepped away from her. "Come on babe we have some celebrating to do."
/
After a wonderful dinner where Rachel reminded her of a kid in a candy store every time the waist staff broke out into song. They were walking hand in hand down the busy New York street.
"This is so nice," Rachel said as she cuddled into Quinn's arm. "Why don't we do this more often… walk the streets of the city that never sleeps?"
"Because when we're here we usually don't leave the bedroom," Quinn teased and Rachel laughed at how true that was. "But we will. When I move here we can do this as much as you want."
"Mm," Rachel let out a contented hum. "How about on Sunday mornings. I find that Sunday mornings are the most peaceful times in New York." She saw Quinn nod. "I mean we could get up early and get coffee and then just spend the morning walking around and getting to know each other better."
"That sounds perfect," Quinn shot her an equally contented smile. She loved what Rachel had just said. They had already been dating five years and it would be six almost seven by the time she moved to New York and Rachel was talking about still getting to know each other. There is always more to learn because people always change. "I love getting lost in you Rach."
"So it's a date then?"
"It is… every Sunday for the rest of our lives," Quinn promised.
"And when we have kids we can bring them to the park," Rachel added and the smile that crept across Quinn's mouth at that told her everything she ever wanted to know about this girl. "We're going to be together forever aren't we?"
"That's the plan," Quinn said and then Rachel stepped away from her and hailed a taxi.
"Baby," Quinn whined. "I liked walking."
"So did I but we still have another part of the date," Rachel held the door open for Quinn who smiled at her chivalry. She was usually the chivalrous one but she didn't mind being treated like a lady by her lady. "So be prepared to be swept off your feet Quinn Fabray," she joined Quinn in the taxi and told the driver the address. Quinn cuddled into her side and she let out a happy sigh.
"You always sweep me off my feet Rachel… you have been ever since the day I told you I was pregnant and you loved me anyway," she felt Rachel smile against the top of her head.
"Well I had just gotten you… finally," she said dramatically and heard Quinn's amazing giggle. What she wouldn't do to always hear that sound. "And I wasn't about to let you go."
"Good because now you're stuck with me."
"I wouldn't call it stuck Quinn."
"Well then what would you call it?"
"Blessed," Quinn's eyes landed on hers at that. "It's fate baby… you and me… we were written in the stars," Quinn pulled her into a heated kiss that lasted until the taxi came to a stop and the driver announced their arrival.
This time Rachel paid him and got out to help Quinn out. Quinn smiled at the gesture and loved that with most things… she and Rachel were always equal.
Quinn didn't notice where they were right away because she was lost in Rachel but when she turned and saw the awning of the huge building she squealed.
"Oh my god!" she looked up at the sign that read: Strand. Which was a huge bookstore on Broadway and then she looked back at Rachel with adoration. "Baby."
"What do you say we go in there and you get your nerd on," Quinn nodded eagerly. "Which will in fact turn me on and then we can go home and have sex all over my apartment."
"Sounds perfect," Quinn looped her arm through Rachel's as she led her into the store.
"Will you buy me a book Rach?" Quinn asked in that sweet seductive tone that never failed to make Rachel's knees weak.
"Of course I will… I'll buy you whatever you want."
Two hours later after watching Quinn flit around the stacks reading passages of books to see if that would be her next discovery and after watching her get lost in the world of imagination. Quinn had settled on two books. One she had never read and one Rachel was sure she already owned but didn't question it.
"I want these two," Quinn said and Rachel looked them over. The first was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and the other one was Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski.
"Don't you have this one babe?" Rachel asked motioning to the John Green book and Quinn stared at her with love in her eyes.
"I do… and I love that you knew that," she told her and then kissed her cheek. "And I'm buying it for you… because you Rachel Berry need more books," Rachel took the other book out of her hands and smiled.
"So I buy this one then?"
"You do," Quinn looped her arm through Rachel's again as they walked toward the checkout.
"So you're buying me a book because I don't own enough?"
"Yes."
"But Quinn… in less than two years you will live with me," she heard her breath hitch and she continued. "So that means that by proxy; I will have more books than anyone should ever have."
"There is no such things as too many books Rachel," she chastised and Rachel giggled knowing that was going to be her answer.
"I guess you're right… nerd," as they waited in line Rachel felt Quinn's hot breath on her ear; she smiled, and became instantly turned on.
Well more turned on.
She was already buzzing with arousal from watching Quinn shop for books.
"I'm so hot for you right now baby," Quinn whispered in her ear and then pulled her earlobe into her mouth and bit down gently. Rachel shuddered.
"Me too," Rachel husked and Quinn giggled. "Watching you with books is amazing foreplay."
"Oh so what you're saying is you're already ready."
"So ready."
"Oh good… me too," she hummed and Rachel growled.
It was the longest taxi ride ever as far as Rachel was concerned but she couldn't be angry because right now she was lying on the bed and Quinn was straddling her hips and kissing the hell out of her.
"Fuck me Rachel," Quinn husked when the kiss broke.
"I have a plan," Rachel said and flipped them over. Quinn didn't say too much as Rachel methodically and too fucking slowly removed her clothes while placing kisses all over her heated flesh. Once Quinn was naked Rachel walked to her dresser and pulled out two red scarves that instantly had Quinn thrumming.
"Baby is that-"
"It sure is," Rachel walked back over and bit her lip. "Do you want to?"
"Hell fucking yes Rachel," Quinn nearly shouted and put her hands up at each corner of the bed. Rachel straddled her waist and Quinn could feel how soaked she was through her thin panties. "Get naked." She demanded and Rachel nodded.
"Oh I will," she kissed Quinn's right wrist before she tied it to the bed. Quinn moaned at the sensation. And then Rachel did the same with the left wrist. Once Quinn was completely at her mercy she slipped off her waist and stood at the end of the bed.
Quinn watched and her mouth watered as Rachel pulled her dress up and over to head. She watched as all of the tan and flawless skin was revealed to her. Rachel was left in only a white thong and matching bra.
And Quinn was practically drooling.
Rachel had always had an amazing body but her dancing class was definitely paying off. Quinn's eyes peered over all of Rachel's new muscles and her perfectly defined abs and she just wanted to run her tongue over every inch of her and she told her so.
"I want to lick you from head to toe Rachel," she husked and Rachel giggled.
"Hm, that sounds like fun… but I want to try something… new," she trailed off and Quinn sucked in a breath as she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra and let it fall to the floor. And then Quinn watched with bated breath as the thong was also removed. Rachel stood before her completely naked. Quinn wanted to rip her arms free, and all of a sudden couldn't remember why she wanted to be tied up anyway.
And then Rachel climbed on the bed and spread Quinn's legs so that she could kneel between them.
"And wh-what's that?" Quinn wondered finally finding her voice.
"I believe the technical term is tribbing," Rachel answered and then watched as Quinn's confusion washed over her. A few moments later Quinn remembered what that meant.
"Oh… Oh," she repeated with a wicked grin.
"So you're in," Rachel wondered in that innocent tone and Quinn nodded wildly before pulling her lip between her teeth. Rachel gripped Quinn's hips and lowered her own hips down until their bodies were pressed together. Both girls moaned as their wet clits pressed together.
"Oh… Oh," Quinn moaned at the sensation.
"Fuck," Rachel nearly growled at the amazing feeling. She put her hands on the bed to steady herself and started to buck her hips… very slowly at first.
She almost came on the spot from the sensation as her clit rubbed deliciously against Quinn's.
"Oh fuck Rachel... that's- that's," she threw her head back revealing all of that amazing smooth skin of her neck to Rachel who leant her head down and started to kiss, nip, and suck at it. "OH my fucking god!' Quinn cried as she started to move her hips in circles and the added movement sent chills down Rachel's spine as she pulled off that delectable neck.
"Fuck yeah Quinn… just like that," she hummed and stared into Quinn's gorgeous eyes.
"This is…"
"Fucking amazing," Rachel finished. She could already feel the pull low in her belly and by the look in Quinn's eye she knew she was close too. Rachel reluctantly pulled off of Quinn's body.
Quinn instinctively tried to reach for her to stop her from moving, forgetting that she was tied up and she groaned at the slight pain in her wrists, and then she whined.
"Rachel!"
"I'm- I'm sorry… I just wanted to," she trailed off and Quinn watched as Rachel balanced on one knee and moved the other one over her hip. She was confused at first but then Rachel lowered herself and when her hot, wet center slid deliciously against her own; Quinn moaned so loudly she was sure the neighbors heard them.
"Oh wow," she said surprised. Rachel shook her head.
"Yeah."
"That feels incred- oh fuck!" Her words died in her throat and a moan escaped when Rachel bucked her hips and the sensational was out of this world. "Wh-Why haven't we done this before?"
"I don't fucking know… but we're doing it a lot more from now on."
"Fuck yeah we are," Quinn shouted. She was so very close already. From the foreplay of book shopping while Rachel was watching her the way Rachel always watches her to this amazing sensation she was going to come.
And soon.
And hard.
"Baby," Quinn nearly growled and that set Rachel's body on fire.
"Come for me Quinn," Rachel huffed knowing she was very close herself. She reached over and started rolling Quinn's stiff nipple between her fingers. Quinn's body stiffened as soon as she pinched that nipple and she came with a shout.
"Oh yeah fuck… Rachel! I'm coming!" And she sure did because Rachel felt her come all over her; which in turn sent her over the edge.
Quinn was still shaking when she felt Rachel come hard.
"Fuck Quinn… I love you so much!" she yelled as she fell over the edge. And then she fell against Quinn's body.
Both girls were a sweaty and panting mess as they came down from their incredible highs.
"I love you too," Quinn husked in between pants; her voice was scratchy from the screaming. Rachel maneuvered her body so that she wasn't tangled in Quinn's legs anymore and she fell to the bed beside her.
"That was…" she took a few deep breaths before continuing. "That was wonderful."
"Yeah it was… but can you please untie me."
"Oh," Rachel sat up. "Right sorry," she kissed Quinn quickly before untying her. As soon as Quinn was free she flipped Rachel onto her back and straddled her. Rachel moaned as Quinn's wet core pressed against her abs and her eyes darkened with lust.
"My turn," Quinn said holding up the scarves. "Can I?" She saw Rachel bite her lip and nod.
"You sure as fuck can," Quinn followed Rachel's lead and she kissed each wrist as she tied them up. "What are you going to do to me Quinn?"
"I'm going to eat you out all fucking night… but I'm going to make you beg for release," Rachel groaned but her body was thrumming with the excitement as Quinn lowered herself between her legs and kissed her clit.
Rachel shook with anticipation.
"I'm going to tease you until you can't stand it and then I'm going to tease you some more," Quinn told her before licking a line through her slit.
"Quinn," Rachel whined and then lost her breath when those amazing eyes landed on hers.
She would never tire of getting lost in Quinn's wonderful ways.
"Yes baby."
"Please don't tease me."
"But Rachel, don't you remember Celibacy Club? It is all about the teasing," Quinn winked and Rachel thought about what she had just gotten herself into.
"Well it better be about the fucking pleasing too," she knew it would be torture but she also knew that Quinn would make her come… and come hard so she surrendered herself completely.
"It will be," Quinn promised before she drove her tongue deep inside Rachel and Rachel didn't doubt her for one second.
And just like always it was fucking perfect.
