Chapter 32: Still Anticipating Love
"Happiness is only real when shared."
-Jon Krakauer; Into the Wild
/
Rachel could feel Quinn's lips on her. She wasn't sure if she was dreaming or if she was awake but either way she loved this feeling. The she felt Quinn's lips again; this time a bit lower and the arousal that shot through her proved that she wasn't dreaming and this was very real.
A smile spread across her mouth.
Her eyes fluttered open and she felt butterflies. She could see messy blonde hair all around her and Quinn's mouth and tongue on her collar bone. A moan escaped her mouth without her permission and she felt Quinn's mouth leave her. And then Quinn looked at her and took her breath away.
Especially when that stunning smile overtook her face.
"Hey baby."
"Hey back at you," Rachel breathed out. "This was a great way to wake up Quinn but I gotta tell you… usually these morning wake up calls begin with your mouth a lot lower," Quinn chuckled at that.
"I know, I know but…" she pulled her bottom lip in between her teeth and Rachel saw her eyes shining with love. "I really wanted to take my time… and work you over until you were fully awake before I started to make love to you."
"Mm… I like the sound of that," she slid the fingers of both hands around Quinn's neck and pulled her into a heated but quick kiss. "Well I am awake now… fully."
"Fully?" Quinn's eyebrow arched with the question.
"Fully," Rachel repeated and pushed Quinn's hands between her legs and through her wet center. "See," she bit her lip this time and held back a moan when Quinn growled.
"Fuck."
"Yes please." But Rachel let out an exasperated huff when Quinn pulled her hand away and brought it to her mouth. Rachel watched with lust as Quinn licked and sucked her fingers clean. "Baby," Rachel's whine was desperate.
"Happy Birthday Rachel," Quinn replied sweetly before pressing a sweet kiss to her lips. Rachel smiled into it and then Quinn backed just far enough to look at her. "Do you feel different now that you're twenty one?"
"I don't know… I guess it'll be nice to drink legally without fear of always getting caught," Quinn giggled at her cuteness. "Also… I mean yeah I feel a little different."
"How so?"
"I don't know, older… more mature, more-"
"In love than ever with your hot, hot girlfriend," Quinn cut her off and she grinned.
"More in love than ever with my cocky, arrogant girlfriend," Rachel corrected as Quinn's lips pressed against her neck. She arched into it and tangled her fingers through that messy blonde hair. "Who is so… so hot," Quinn laughed into her neck before biting down causing the raunchiest growl to fall from Rachel's lips.
"I really missed this room Rachel," Quinn said before placing a kiss to the other side of her neck.
"You just miss that it's soundproofed and you can make me scream as loud as you want."
"I make you scream as loud as I want every time I fuck you," Rachel moaned. "Though it is nice knowing we won't have anyone- namely Santana- yelling at us," Rachel nodded and arched her neck the other way for Quinn's teasing kisses. "But I meant, I just really miss the room." Her lips moved down to Rachel's collarbone. "I miss this bed, and every moment we had in here," she trailed kisses down the valley of her breasts and then back up over the left breast where she sucked Rachel's rock hard nipple into her mouth. Rachel hissed at the tingling sensation, her hand falling onto Quinn's head and messing her hair up even more. When Quinn's hand cupped her other breast and she started to roll the nipple between her fingers Rachel moaned loudly.
"Oh... oh oh yessss," Quinn continued to alternate between lapping her tongue against the nipple and gently biting down on it until Rachel was practically shaking with want. And as Rachel's body rocked into hers Quinn switched her mouth and hand and started her assault on the other one; and she continued it until Rachel fingers were so tangled into her hair that it was becoming painful.
The good kind of pain of course.
"Mm, b-b-baby st-stop teasing," Quinn released the nipple with a pop but continued to roll the other one between her fingers. She leveled herself back up so that she was eye level with Rachel and pressed her lower half completely against Rachel's and the moan that fell from those beautiful lips almost sent her over the edge.
Rachel opened her legs wider and when Quinn's wet center pressed against her own the groan was primal… and laced with desperate want. Then Quinn rolled her hips.
"Oh…oh… oh," Rachel would've kept up with the Oh's but suddenly Quinn's mouth was covering hers and Quinn's insistent tongue was invading her mouth. Not that it wasn't welcome and she sucked on it.
"Mm," Quinn hummed into her mouth as their hips rocked together over and over and over until both girls pulled away from the kiss screaming.
"Oh fuck Rachel," Quinn shouted.
"Oh god Quinn so so, so so so good… fuck me… please fuck me," Rachel begged as she came and as soon as Quinn stopped shaking from her own release she pushed two fingers deep into Rachel pushing her orgasm quickly into a second one. "Yes Quinn… oh you're so good at this," Rachel humped her hand. "I love you," Rachel screamed as she came hard again all over Quinn's hand.
"I love you too," Quinn felt another orgasm wash over her watching Rachel come undone for a second time. Once she worked Rachel down from her high she fell in a heap beside her trying desperately to catch her breath. "Happy Birthday baby," Quinn said in between panting. She didn't even know or feel that Rachel had moved until Rachel's tongue was on her center. She gasped and looked down her body at the brown head bobbing between her wide open legs and those brown eyes locked on her. She was overcome with lust.
"Baby," Rachel's lips left her and a smirk appeared. That look made Quinn wetter; she winked before burying her head between Quinn's legs again and she didn't relent with her invading tongue until Quinn came undone a loud scream and her nails digging into her scalp. And even then Rachel continued to clean her up until Quinn's' body was shaking with a third… or fourth orgasm.
Who could count anymore?
"Happy Birthday to me," Rachel said from where her head was resting on Quinn's thigh. Quinn giggled and looked down at her sexy girlfriend and the sight of Rachel's face wet with her desire had her ready to go again.
"Oh it will be," Quinn growled and moved her leg. Rachel's head hit the bed and then she was being pulled to the edge of the bed. She watched Quinn kneeling on the floor and she wondered idly what she was doing until Quinn's mouth was on her and Rachel's legs draped over her shoulders.
And then Rachel's eyes rolled back and she got lost in the feeling of Quinn's incredible mouth.
Happy Birthday indeed.
/
A few hours later, Rachel was getting out of the shower after their third round and a short nap and was met with the sight of Quinn lying on the bed staring with lust in her eyes. She saw Quinn crook her finger and beckon her over; of course she went very, very willingly. Quinn reached out and tugged the towel off of her letting it fall to the floor. Her eyes raked over all of that exposed tan flesh and she needed to taste it; so she did.
She pulled Rachel until the girl was forced to kneel on the bed and that was when Quinn slid down the bed and reached for her leg. Rachel caught on to what she wanted and again she very willingly complied. She swung her leg over Quinn's body and knelt on either side of her head. She moaned when she felt those hands on her ass and that tongue filling her up so completely.
So perfectly.
And after another go around; she needed another shower.
Quinn joined her this time… which led to round five, or six.
So far Rachel loved every second of her birthday and it was still early.
She had no idea what Quinn had planned for her today but knowing Quinn it would be nothing short of spectacular.
They made their way into the kitchen to find Leroy and Hiram sitting on the couch reading the paper.
"Hello dad," Rachel kissed the top of his head. "Daddy," she said to Leroy and kissed his head as well.
"Hey baby girl, how are you feeling?" Leroy wondered and she knew he was teasing her just by the tone of his voice so she remained quiet. "I mean what with the workout that Quinn must've given you this morning." Both girls blushed bright red as Quinn sat in the chair and Rachel sat on her lap.
"Daddy you're so impetuous," she reprimanded but he merely smirked.
"Well… when my normally incredibly punctual daughter; who might I add hasn't ever slept later than six am since she was a toddler; finally makes an appearance for the first time at," he paused to glance at his watch. "Ten am… I must assume it's because Quinn was keeping you otherwise engaged," the blush on Quinn's face deepened under his scrutiny and Leroy just chuckled; he had always enjoyed making Quinn blush, and he doubted he would ever tire of it.
"I'm not discussing my morning with my fathers," Rachel said and her own blush was darkened.
"Thank Barbra for that," Hiram cut in and shot his still giggling husband a look that was a mix of annoyance over whether or not he will ever grow up; and adoration of the fact that he is still such a kid at heart.
"Oh whatever H," Leroy waved his portion of the paper at his husband. "You were just saying not even two minutes ago that you were wondering if they'd leave the bedroom at all today and-"
"Alright enough," Rachel huffed and hopped off of Quinn's lap, crossed her arms over her chest, and glared at her dads. "We are no longer discussing my sex life… got it?" Both men nodded and Quinn released a breath.
"Thank God," she whispered but then there was a loud knock on the door. Hiram answered it and a few moments later Puck walked into the room carrying a paper bag that was very obviously a bottle of booze, Rachel's eyes widened at the sight.
"Good morning Jew babe," he greeted her with a kiss on the cheek that she couldn't help but smile into. Then his eyes landed on Quinn who was still sitting. "Sup baby Mama?" He said and then leaned over and kissed her cheek as well.
"What are you doing here Noah?" Rachel wondered. "And why did you bring that?" She whispered the second part and tried to slyly point to his bottle. There was no reason to though because her dads had definitely seen it.
"Well it's not every day my best friend in the whole world turns twenty one and I am here to have your first birthday shot with you."
"But Noah my dads are-"
"It's cool, I asked first and they're in… they're going to do shots with us," Rachel's mouth dropped open in shock and Quinn let out a surprised chuckle.
"You what?" Rachel asked eyes wide as she looking between her dads.
"Well it's like Noah said," Hiram began but Leroy finished.
"It's not every day our baby girl turns twenty one," Rachel couldn't help but smile at that. "Let's do this," he said to Puck who nodded and then looked at Quinn.
"You in Q?"
"No I can't," she heard Rachel whine at her answer. She got to her feet, and kissed her cheek. "Sorry baby but I have to drive. I'm meeting Santana for…" she trailed off when Rachel's curious eyebrows rose and she couldn't help but smile at her adorable girlfriend. "What I have planned."
"And what do you have planned?" Rachel snaked her arms around her waist and held her tight.
"It's a surprise."
"Ugh," Rachel grumbled and pushed her away slightly. "I hate surprises."
"I know," Quinn kissed her cheek again. She motioned her head so that Rachel would go with her. As they exited the room they heard Leroy shout.
"Meet us in the kitchen Rach… come on Puck, I'll show you where we keep the shot glasses," their voices faded as Quinn led Rachel over to the front door their hands tightly clasped. Quinn turned to face her.
"I know you hate surprises but you'll love this, and I promise I'll do a shot with you later when neither of us has to drive. Have fun with your dads and Puck and I'll see you soon," she moved to kiss her cheek again but Rachel turned her head and their lips collided. She felt Quinn smile into the kiss and that filled her with butterflies.
"I love you," Rachel said against her lips and Quinn kissed her again.
"I love you back," she took a step away but Rachel pulled her back.
"I… Quinn I know that I'll love whatever you have planned and I promise I will do a shot with you but I really don't want to drink too much tonight," Quinn stuck her lip out in a pout.
"But babe it's your twenty first birthday, this is the day you should drink the most."
"I know but I also don't want whatever you have planned to be lost in a cloud of a drunken haze," she saw Quinn's pout turn into a smile. "And also I want to take you somewhere, later on… and I really need to be sober enough to drive."
"I could drive and you can still drink… and you know Puck will be chasing you down trying to get you to drink with him."
"I know and that is why I plan on pretending to be wasted," Quinn nodded with a mischievous look in her eye.
"Okay so where do you want to take me?"
"It's a surprise," Quinn laughed because of the irony. "But I promise you will love every second of it… just like I'll love every second of my party," Quinn's smile faded and her mouth dropped open.
"How'd you find out?"
"I didn't."
"Then how'd you know?"
I didn't… not until now anyway," Quinn blushed and Rachel pulled her into a heated kiss that had her forgetting… everything.
When Rachel pulled back, Quinn's dopey smile was in place.
"Go have your shot and I'll see you soon," Rachel nodded pressed another quick kiss to her lips and turned away. Rachel squealed when Quinn slapped her ass. She looked back to see her grinning face. "See you soon starlight," she winked and Rachel watched her go with a smitten grin.
When she got to the kitchen she saw the four shot glasses on the table and Noah was pouring what looked like whiskey into them.
"Are you sure this is a good idea… it's ten in the morning?"
"Shh, baby girl. I have waited twenty one years for this, stop being so damn parental," Leroy watched as Rachel laughed at that and took her shot glass from Puck.
"Here is to my Jew babe; who loved me before anyone else ever did and always… always had my back. I love you Rachel," again she couldn't fight the smile.
"We love you too baby girl," Hiram said.
"Happy birthday Rachel," Leroy said and they tapped glasses and did their shots. Both Rachel and Puck drank theirs in one sip, and with no problem; while Hiram could only do half of his and Leroy choked and sputtered with his.
"Fucking hell Puck what did you just give me… gasoline?" He asked and again laughter filled the room.
It didn't take long for Puck to convince Rachel to play video games with him as he was under strict orders from Quinn to keep her occupied until the set up for the party was complete and he had every intention of losing as many games as he had to until Quinn texted him.
Ah, the things he did for his Jew bro.
When Quinn pulled into her driveway she saw Santana's car and she knew immediately that the girl would not be happy to have been waiting. She parked her car beside Santana's and was surprised to see that she was sitting in the car, filing her nails with a look of distain on her face. They got out of the car at the same time.
"What the fuck Q? I have been waiting for like an hour. Next time you can't get your head out of Berry's ass give me a call so I'm not fucking waiting on you."
"Sorry I-"
"Outside… in December… in Lima fucking Ohio," Santana continued as if Quinn hadn't even spoken.
"I'm sorry San, I was giving Rachel-"
"Do… NOT… finish that sentence; like ever," Quinn laughed, and walked toward the house; Santana followed.
"Why didn't you just go in? My mom's home."
"Because she's a freak like you Q. I didn't want to walk in on her and Richard doing anything that might scar me for life by seeing it." Again Quinn chuckled because she couldn't really argue with that.
/
An hour later, the house was almost set up for the party; complete with a makeshift stage set up in the huge living room.
"I still can't believe you're making me do this," Santana grumbled as they pushed the couch toward the far wall; Quinn stopped at those words, stood up straight, and glared at her best friend.
"Oh come on Santana, you love Rachel and it's annoying already that you're still denying it. Just fucking sing to her… it won't kill you!" Santana's mouth had dropped as Quinn yelled.
"No I didn't… I didn't mean it like that. I just meant; I can't believe you're making me sing a fucking country song."
"Oh," Quinn let out a chuckle.
"Yeah," Santana pouted. She was still really pissed that Quinn was forcing her to sing a country song. She did understand her reasoning behind it but she was still pissed about it. "I mean Rachel is cool, you know for a hobbit with a horrible fashion sense and even more horrible taste in women."
"Oh please, don't give me that shit." Quinn said as they pushed the couch flush against the wall. "You think I'm hot and you have always wanted a piece of this."
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Santana barked laughter throwing herself onto the couch. "That's fucking nasty Q."
"Oh come on, you've always been jealous of Rachel because she has me and you don't," Quinn didn't actually believe the words she was saying but it was always one of her favorite pastimes to tease Santana.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Santana bellowed again. "Stop it, you're gonna make me pee," Quinn had also sat down on the couch.
"Fuck you."
"You wish," Santana had decided to turn the tables on Quinn.
"No you wish."
"Maybe," Santana said with a shrug and Quinn's eyes widened comically. "I had this dream once where you and-"
"Whatever you do," Quinn held her hands up. "Do not finish that sentence," Quinn cut her off causing more raucous laughter out of her friend.
"I was just teasing you Quinn… trust me, the only time you have ever entered my dreams was to annoy the fuck out of me, the same way you do in waking life. So basically you're my biggest nightmare."
"Oh like you're a dream come true, Satan." Quinn teased her back using Rachel's nickname for the girl. Soon a comfortable silence fell between them and lasted several minutes before Santana spoke again.
"So do you think Rachel will cry?"
"You've met Rachel right?"
"Yeah," Santana rubbed her hands together evilly. "Ooh I hope the midget cries."
"Santana that's mean."
"You've met me right?" Santana responded and Quinn's lips quirked up into a small grin.
"Come on," Quinn tugged at Santana's shirt sleeve prompting her to get up. "We have more work to do."
"Fucking hell… why are we friends?"
"Because you love me," Quinn answered with her stupid pout that Santana had always been powerless against.
"Yeah and it's fucking annoying," she got to her feet.
"One of my goals in life… is working then," Quinn winked and Santana rolled her eyes.
"I hate you Quinn."
"You love me."
"Yeah, like I said it's fucking annoying."
"And I love you," Quinn said sweetly.
"Don't get gross on me."
"And you want all of this," Quinn wiggled her hips as she said it and Santana curled her lip.
"I said DON'T get gross," she grumbled but still followed Quinn out of the room.
This bitch better appreciate all that she does for her.
And Berry better appreciate all that she puts up with for her.
Rachel had been going crazy for the last couple of hours. She knew that whatever Quinn had planned for the party would be so worth it but that didn't help her current mood.
Noah had effectively distracted her for most of the time since Quinn left but he had left twenty minutes earlier before giving her strict orders from Quinn to get ready.
Which she had of course done.
She wore one of her shortest skirts from high school; complete with knee socks and a button down top for easier access.
Which she would need later.
Also for later, she had a duffle bag near the front door ready and waiting for Quinn to arrive
She was pacing the floor when the doorbell rang and she bolted to the door and opened it to see Quinn looking as stunning as ever.
She was wearing a yellow dress, which had always and would always look so sexy on her. She also had a white cardigan over it and her still short and sexy hair was pushed back with a yellow headband.
She was fucking hot.
"Wow," Rachel breathed out at the sight.
"Wow is right," Quinn replied and Rachel felt a little smug as she watched her sexy girlfriend's eyes raking over her body. Then she gasped when Quinn pulled her and crashed their lips together.
Rachel fisted Quinn's cardigan in both hands and pulled her into the house. Quinn kicked the door closed behind her, then turned Rachel around, pushed Rachel into it, and kissed her again. Just as fiercely and with more passion. Quinn's hands roamed over Rachel's body and she slid her hands up Rachel's thighs while her tongue explored that incredible mouth.
"Quinn," Rachel said breathlessly. "I… oh fuck," Quinn's lips were now on her neck.
"I want you Rachel," she said against heated flesh.
"Oh… me to but um… the… p-party, the party and you went to so much. Oh wow," Quinn had started to suck on Rachel's neck and Rachel gave in to her desires. But it seemed Quinn was fighting her own; and suddenly those lips were gone but Quinn's hot body was still pressed into her.
"You're right."
"No I'm wrong… I-I want it Quinn."
"You'll get it," Quinn promised and her sparkling eyes were now staring into Rachel's own. "Later… but now we need to celebrate your birth," Rachel let out a frustrated sigh.
"Fine," she grumbled but Quinn could see the smile behind the pout. She watched Rachel pick up a duffle bag she hadn't noticed.
"What's that for?"
"Later," Rachel purred and that one word was laced with so much sex that Quinn felt arousal shoot through her. Rachel pulled her out of the house and locked the door.
"Let's um… skip the party and get to the later now."
"Nope," Rachel said adamantly and shook her head. She swooned when Quinn opened up the car door for her. "You went to so much trouble and I know it'll wow me."
"Oh you have no idea," Quinn said innocently and Rachel felt her own arousal spike.
Stupid girlfriend.
With her stupid sexy voice and naughty promises.
As Quinn got into the car and drove away Rachel reached for her hand and interlocked their fingers.
"Thank you for this Quinn."
"You don't even know what it is yet."
"I don't need to know what it is to know it's wonderful… you never fail to wow me."
"I love you."
"I love you," Rachel repeated and rested her head against Quinn's arm; she was looking forward to being wowed.
And Quinn was right; she had no idea just how wowed she would actually be.
When they walked into Quinn's house Rachel was all giggles as everyone shouted surprise. It wasn't a surprise but she went along with it anyway. Quinn leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"Have fun babe… I gotta go set up for your real surprise," Rachel's eyes widened and Quinn winked before she walked away.
She was staring at Quinn until she felt arms wrap around her.
"Happy birthday Rachel," she tensed up because it was Sugar that was hugging her and the last thing she wanted was for Quinn to see this and strangle the girl.
"Thanks Sugar … but please unhand me this instant," Sugar reluctantly let her go and Rachel took a step back, and then another. They talked easily about what Sugar had been up to and Rachel was actually quite proud that she was studying fashion at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and doing very well. But she was also pretty sad that Sugar was the only one she got to really talk to because then Noah was there handing her another shot. She took it with him but decided from that moment on to avoid all drinking by pretending to be drunk.
She was still trying to make the rounds to catch up with her friends when Quinn's voice over the speaker had her stopping in her tracks.
"Hello everyone," she said and the chatter died down as all eyes were on Quinn; standing on a make shift stage in in her living room, and Rachel got the sneaking suspicion that Quinn was exacting her revenge.
Finally.
"First of all, I would like everyone to give my beautiful girlfriend a resounding Happy Birthday," Rachel's eyes were locked on Quinn as everyone shouted Happy Birthday to her; Rachel blushed and looked down.
"Rachel," their eyes locked again. "Would you please take a seat," she pointed to a chair that was a few feet away from the stage. Rachel walked over and took her seat. "Now most of you were at my birthday party last year, and if you remember at all the speech I made at the end of that I promised I would one day get Rachel back for what she did and that revenge will happen today," everyone cheered and Quinn looked back at her mortified girlfriend.
"Hey baby," Rachel rolled her eyes at that. "I gathered everyone here today; to not only celebrate you and your birth… I also got everyone to pick songs to sing to you; that reflect on what an amazing impact you have made on their lives." Rachel grinned as Quinn continued.
"But because I am a writer and a romantic at heart, and because I knew you'd love it… I made them all choose songs that are out of their comfort zones." She knew by the way Rachel's eyes widened that the girl liked that idea. "So without further ado, playing the music for all of the songs performed today," she took a deep breath. "Please join me in welcoming to the stage Noah Loca," they all cheered as Puck and Sawyer's band got on the stage and picked up their instruments. Quinn looked at Rachel. "I love you baby and I hope you enjoy the very first Rachel Berry birthday concert event," the room erupted in cheers again and Rachel got to her feet and yanked Quinn off of the stage. Their lips collided in a heated kiss that had the room cheering again. When Rachel pulled back she saw that dopey grin.
"I love it Quinn… and I love you."
"Just wait, you're going to love me even more by the time this is over."
"I do not doubt that," Rachel pecked her lips again and then went back to her seat as Quinn once again climbed on stage. "First up tonight I'd like to welcome the people who brought Rachel into this world. Her dads Hiram and Leroy, her mom Shelby and accompanying them, her mom by proxy… my mom Judy," the crowd cheered again as Quinn hopped off the stage and Beth ran into her arms. Quinn picked her up and hugged her before moving to the side and taking her own seat with Beth on her lap.
"Rachel," Hiram began. "We love you so much baby girl and we're so, so proud of the woman you have become. But your daddy and I wanted to remind you of the little girl that had all of the biggest dreams."
"And we're singing an R&B song," Leroy began. "And for a couple of guys who are more comfortable with the Broadway I hope you enjoy this," he handed the mic to Shelby.
"Your dads told me about the airport and how you used to dream so big and Quinn told me about your favorite book so I hope that even though I didn't see the little girl with the big dreams, I hope you'll let me be there when they come true anyway," Rachel wiped her tears away and nodded. Shelby handed the mic to Judy who was already crying.
"You saved my baby girl Rachel… you saved her just by loving her and keeping her safe when I couldn't and for that you will always be a daughter to me, and R&B isn't my thing either so I hope I don't wreck this."
"You won't," Rachel shouted through her tears and the music began. As soon as it started she recognized the song. It was from one of her favorite movies based on her favorite book and she knew Quinn was behind this song choice.
She instantly fell deeper.
And then her dads were singing and she focused on them.
[Hiram and Leroy]
Seize… upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So, young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time...so gold
[Judy]
Steal… away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever...and be in time
Stay gold
[Shelby]
But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
[Shelby, with Hiram and Leroy]
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold
[All]
Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold
When the song faded out Rachel jumped on stage and kissed and hugged her two dads, and her two moms as they all cried together.
"That was absolutely beautiful and I loved it so much you guys, thank you."
"You're welcome," all four said together. Rachel hopped off the stage and Quinn got back on stage after Beth ran back to Shelby with a huge grin on her face.
"Hey babe," Quinn began with a sparkle in her eye and Rachel felt the butterflies. "How am I doing so far?"
"You're amazing Quinn," she shouted and the smile that crossed Quinn's mouth was simply beautiful.
"You're amazing Rachel Berry and her to prove that further in a song that is very far out of their range please welcome Kurt, Blaine and Mike." Rachel's eyes widened at the combination of those three singing together and was instantly curious as to what genre they'd be singing.
"As Broadway guys ourselves," Kurt said. "This choice was a bit tough for us. I mean when Quinn said alternative rock I literally choked on my wine." The whole room laughed at that. "But then as we searched and searched through tons… and I mean tons of songs," his eyes widened as he said it and Rachel couldn't help but laugh. "We found a song that speaks perfectly to what we wanted to say." He handed the mic to Blaine who then looked at Rachel.
"And what we wanted to say; was that sometimes we as humans let fear guide us, but no one but ourselves can control whether or not we let the fear win. So Rachel please remember that you are bigger than any fear and we will always be here to support you," she was crying again as Mike started to talk.
"No matter what happens Rachel… no matter how we grow and change you will always have us in your corner. We may be a pretty odd family but we are family, and we will always be here for you, no matter what tomorrow brings." The music began and Rachel vaguely recognized the song but it wasn't until the chorus that she knew what song it was.
And- of course- it was perfect.
[Kurt]
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I, can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
[Mike]
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I am beginning to find
That I should be the one behind the wheel
[All]
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes
[Blaine]
So if I decide to waiver my chance
To be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine
And hold my own and drive?
[All]
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I am beginning to find
That when I drive myself my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, yeh
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes
I'll be there
(Noah Loca musical solo)
[Mike]
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive?
[Kurt and Blaine]
So whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, yeh
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes
[Mike]
I'll be there.
When the song ended she was a crying mess again and she hugged all three boys as they got off the stage to greet her.
"I love you," she whispered to each of them. And they each returned the sentiment.
"How's the show so far?" Quinn asked and everyone cheered again; Rachel took her seat and looked up at her amazing girlfriend and their eyes locked. "If you think listening Kurt, Blaine, and Mike singing alternative rock was a stretch wait… because you haven't seen anything yet, as our next act will prove. Here to sing a Broadway showstopper for you Miss Rachel Berry, may I present Artie, Sam, Sawyer and Puck," Rachel laughed at the thought of Sam and Mr. Hip Hop himself Artie singing a Broadway song to her; but that was nothing compared to the idea of Noah Puckerman doing it.
Sawyer spoke first.
"You know when Quinn told us our genre was Broadway I wanted to kick her, but once Noah decided on this song I knew Quinn was right to make us do this. Happy Birthday Rachel and I'm sorry if my nerves over performing a Broadway song for you of all people messes me up a bit."
"You'll be fine."
"Happy Birthday Rachel and I'm nervous too," Sam said.
"Thirded," Artie shouted. Sam handed the mic to Puck who stared at Rachel with love in his eyes.
"What up Jew babe?" Rachel smiled under his gaze. "I love you so much you know."
"I know," she said quietly while nodding.
"This song is actually perfect to follow the last one because the words are very similar and it proves that even though Broadway and alternative rock are very far away from each other on the musical spectrum; they can still have the same message and still work so very well together… kind of like all of us… and kind of like you and Quinn," he looked over at his baby mama and shot her a wink. She blushed and looked at Rachel who was still staring up at Puck; so she just watched her.
"This song is from the seminal Broadway classic Fame; and it speaks of, not being afraid of the future because we got this… you Rachel, you got this. Happy Birthday and I love you. I mean who else but Rachel Berry and Quinn Fabray could get Noah Puckerman to sing a Broadway song… by choice and for fun?" They all laughed as the music began and as soon as it started Rachel was already crying.
[Puck]
We have arrived at a moment in our lives
When the future passes into our hands
We can find out, are we really strong enough
To fulfill what the future demands
[Sawyer]
We can stand on the edge
And look out into space
And be awed
By the wonders we see
[Artie]
We can all make a pledge
That the whole human race
Will become what we want it to be
[All]
Bring on tomorrow
Let it shine
Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day
It's yours and mine
We can make a difference
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
[Sam]
Long, long ago in a world we never made
We were children who were making believe
Closing our eyes
We were travelers in air
To a land we would not want to leave
[Puck]
But the fairy tale land, fades away as we grow
And we all have to say our goodbyes
And we now understand, that this world that we know
Can be ours if we open our eyes
[All]
Bring on tomorrow
Let it shine
Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day
It's yours and mine
[Sawyer]
We can make a difference
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
[Artie]
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Bring on tomorrow
It's not too late
[Sam]
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
[All]
Bring on tomorrow
Let it shine
Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day
It's yours and mine
[All] (Artie)
We can make a difference
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait (We can't wait)
[All]
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait
After the song ended Puck took off his guitar just in time to be nearly tackled by a very excited Rachel Berry.
As Rachel hugged Sawyer, Artie, and Sam; Quinn waited and watched to give them a moment to connect… and after a few minutes her voice broke them all out of their reverie.
"Did you think that was the biggest surprise of the night, Rachel?" She teased as Sawyer and Puck rejoined their band on stage and Rachel took her seat again. "Puckerman singing Broadway is nothing compared to Santana Lima Heights Lopez singing… country," Rachel gasped and they heard Santana swearing in the background. "Now that is a feat," Quinn winked at her girl and Rachel was again filled with butterflies.
Like always.
"This is a moment you have all been waiting for… please welcome to the stage McKinley High's own Troubletones featuring Tina Cohen-Chang." Quinn said as Mercedes, Sugar, Santana, Brittany, and Tina all got on the stage.
"I think I speak for everyone when I say that country is not our strong suit," Mercedes said and they all nodded as did the rest of the party.
"But there is nothing we won't do for you Rachel," Tina said and their eyes locked. "Happy Birthday." Santana pulled the mic from Tina's hand with a grumble; Rachel waited for a snarky remark or a playful insult; so she was as surprised as everyone when Santana said nothing of the sort.
"Rachel you and I have always had a playful and sisterly type of relationship but I always knew that when shit went down you'd have my back and I hope I relayed that to you as well."
"You did," Rachel promised with a nod.
"I know I gave you shit…we all did, at some point about you being bossy, or short, or annoying as fuck," the crowd laughed and so did Rachel. "But I don't think any of us has ever told you just how amazing and beautiful you are."
"I have," Sugar said but Santana ignored her. In fact everyone did, except for Quinn who growled a little.
"But it's time we changed that and this song is the perfect way to do that, I love you Rachel," Santana admitted to a room full of the friends and family.
And so fucking what.
"I love you too Rach," Brittany added right before the song began. As her friends serenaded her and told her in song exactly what they think of her, the tears were flowing and the love was pure.
[Tina]
She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up that day
she learned to sing
[Mercedes]
Then the colors came, erased the
black and white
And her whole world changed
when she realized
[All]
She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly
[Brittany]
Like the purest light in a darkened world
So much hope inside such a lovely girl
[Santana]
You should see her fly, it's almost magical
It makes you wanna cry, she's so beautiful
[All]
She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly
[Brittany and Sugar]
God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,
give her strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
[All]
She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly
[Tina and Sugar]
God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
When the song ended Rachel hopped on stage and pulled a very disgruntled Santana into a tight hug.
"That was beautiful Santana," Quinn teased.
"Fuck you Quinn." Quinn laughed at that.
"But seriously you guys that was just wonderful."
"I agree," Rachel said through her tears and looked at Quinn. "Thank you so much for this I loved it and I love you."
"Oh it's not over yet," Quinn winked. "Take your seat," she waited until the stage was clear and Rachel was sitting in her seat before she spoke again. "Now in the tradition of keeping this song like the original I'm going to ask my best friends Santana and Puck to sing back up for me," Santana nodded and joined Quinn and Noah Loca on stage. Quinn nodded to them before turning her attention back to the girl of her dreams.
"Hey babe, did you like you present so far?" Rachel nodded. "Well I wanted to sing a song that spoke to how much I love you and the genre I chose was… classic rock," there were a few laughs heard; mostly from Santana. "But as you know there are a million power ballads that came out in the eighties so this took for-fucking-ever." Rachel laughed. "But I found one… when I found you Rachel, I found happiness… and happiness is only real when shared so not only am I thankful that you loved me back I am so very lucky. Every day with you is still just as wonderful as the first day and each day… I am still anticipating love," Rachel smiled and a single tear fell from her eye. When I found you I found the love of a lifetime," with those words the music began and as Quinn opened her heart and laid it out for the whole room to see Rachel fell deeper.
Like she did over and over again with this girl.
She was still anticipating love too, and she knew she always would.
Loving Quinn would never get old.
[Quinn] (Puck and Santana)
I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true with love that we can share
With you I never wonder - will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me
I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
A love to last my whole life through (Ahh)
I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
During the music break Quinn watched as Rachel wiped the tears off her face and then stared at her with pure unconditional love and that feeling was everything.
With every kiss our love is like brand new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
We know that we will be together because our love is strong
I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
A love to last my whole life through (Ahh)
I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
During Noah's guitar solo Rachel found those hazel eyes and saw nothing but love in them. I love you- she mouthed and Quinn repeated the action.
I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
A love to last my whole life through (Ahh)
I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
(I finally found the love of a lifetime) Love of a lifetime
(I finally found the love of a lifetime ) I finally found the love
(I finally found the love of a lifetime )
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime (Ahh)
As the song ended Rachel pulled Quinn off the stage and into a scorching kiss while the room cheered around them.
"Did I do well?"
"You did perfectly," Rachel whispered and then claimed those lips again; and that was how they remained for the rest of the party. Puck tried time and again to break them apart to give Rachel more booze but she still had a plan for later with Quinn and remaining sober was a necessary part of that plan.
Also kissing Quinn was the best way to celebrate her birthday anyway.
Quinn smiled at her girlfriend when she saw where Rachel was bringing them.
"I should've known that this is where you'd want to go," Quinn looked around at the familiar spot near the airport. "What do you want to do here?"
"You," Rachel said honestly as she turned the lights off but left the car on; because it's December in Lima, Ohio and there was no way she was going to freeze.
"Mm," Quinn waggled her eyebrows. "What did you have in mind?" Rachel didn't answer with words, well not right away.
No.
First Quinn watched as she climbed over the console and into the back seat. Quinn was fully enjoying the view of Rachel's amazing ass under her very short skirt. Once Rachel was in the back seat of the car she opened the duffle bag which was on the floor and pulled out their favorite toy.
"You…" Quinn blushed at the sight of their strap on. "You want me to fuck you here for your birthday?" Rachel shook her head no but before Quinn could speak again; Rachel did.
"I want to fuck you… here, at our airport… in the back seat of this sexy as fuck car of yours," Rachel bit her lip and saw Quinn nod. Rachel quickly pulled her skirt and panties off and proceeded to pull the strap on into place. Quinn watched with desire in her eyes at the visual seduction happening before them. Rachel looked so hot sitting there with her shirt still on but naked from the waist down, and a thick silicone shaft protruding from her waist.
"God babe you look so good," Quinn told her. "But you know what would look better?"
"Your naked body bouncing up and down on my dick?" Rachel asked and heard Quinn growl.
"God Rach," she felt herself become wetter at those words.
"Was that not it… because it is for me?"
"No that's yeah… that thought is very sexy but what I meant was is if all of you was naked," Rachel looked down at her shirt and then back up at Quinn; a naughty smirk on her face. "Then say it Quinn, say what you want and use the dirty words," Quinn practically hopped over the console to join Rachel in the back. She straddled Rachel's hips and moan in pleasure when Rachel's shaft rubbed against her clothed center.
"I want to see your boobs."
"Dirtier Quinn," Rachel demanded but Quinn's fingers were already under her shirt and playing with her nipple.
"No bra," Quinn said with mock surprise.
"Of course Quinn… I wanted easier access, for you." Quinn growled again. "So now," with a huge amount of self-control, Rachel removed Quinn's hand from under her shirt. "Say it."
"I want to see your tits Rachel," Quinn blushed as she said it and Rachel thought that was the cutest thing ever. She nearly ripped her shirt off in her haste to remove it but the sight of Quinn licking her lips made her forget all about it…
All about everything actually.
"Are you going to fuck me real good baby," Quinn husked and Rachel felt herself get hotter and wetter. She loved that once Quinn started to talk dirty she didn't really stop.
"I want to but um… she trailed her fingers over Quinn's abs just under her already hiked up dress. But you still have all of your clothes on. With that Quinn pulled back and yanked her cardigan off, the dress was next. Rachel watched all of that perfect skin being revealed to her she raked her eyes over all of it. Stopping first at Quinn's tattoo of Beth's name under her left breast and then she got distracted by the breasts themselves when Quinn took her bra off; and then her eyes landed on Quinn's gold star tattoo. It still made her feel so special whenever she saw it… and also incredibly turned on.
More than she already was.
Quinn saw her looking and couldn't help the smitten grin on her face.
"You like?" Rachel responded by running her fingers over it
"Yes, very much," she looked up into her eyes. "I love every inch of you."
"Good, then run your fingers over this," Quinn took the hand that was caressing her tattoo and moved it over her soaking wet panties.
"Mmm," Rachel moaned at the wetness that was all for her; that was always all for her. When she started to caresses her; Quinn started to rock her hips hitting both Rachel's hand and the strap on; and it was doing incredible things to her body.
"Baby… more," she begged.
"You still have more clothes on."
"Then take them off… fucking rip them off, I don't care I just need you," and that was it… Rachel's primal instincts took over and she did rip those panties off of Quinn. Quinn was rocking her hips against the strap on and Rachel watched.
"Ride me baby," Rachel requested and Quinn looked down at her. The desire burning within both girls was very intense in a good way.
In the best way.
Quinn lifted her hips and Rachel watched as she settled into Rachel's lap completely.
"Oh fuck," Quinn moaned quietly as she took it inch by inch. She knew Rachel was enjoying the view so she decided to give her more to look at. She lifted her hips to the tip and sunk down again with another loud moan. And as Rachel bit her lip and watched she suddenly had penis envy.
She wanted to feel how deep she was inside Quinn.
"Baby," Quinn begged again and she continued to rise and fall on Rachel's lap. When Rachel's eyes snapped up to Quinn's face she lost her breath at the beauty. Quinn was so fucking beautiful and she was so lucky to be the one with the best view in the house.
"Damn Quinn you are so beautiful," she said sweetly and Quinn blushed.
"So are you… I ne- I need-"
"What do you need?"
"More," was all Quinn said. And it was all she needed to say because Rachel got the message. She thrust her hips up. "Oh fuck yeah."
Both girls started to thrust. Rachel's hips went up, Quinn's went down and the loud slapping of skin was only drowned out by their incredible sexy moaning and howling. Rachel's blunt nails dug into Quinn's strong back; which only turned Quinn on even more; and she rode harder.
She knew she was going to be incredibly sore the next day.
But she also knew it would be very, very worth it.
"Quinn," Rachel moaned desperately fighting her orgasm. Every time Quinn slammed down into her lap the clit insert rubbed her perfectly.
"OH god Rachel… I need- I need more… fuck me, please!" And again it was like something snapped inside of Rachel and she tossed Quinn onto her back and knelt between her legs never once pulling out of her.
Quinn gasped when there was a sudden movement and her back hit the backseat but then Rachel was between her legs and Rachel was pounding into her and a feverish rate and all of her other senses became clouded by the sense of what she was feeling. Rachel's hips hit hers over and over and over again and she felt herself clench on that cock and the pull started low in her belly.
"Fuck I'm coming Rachel!" She shouted and that seemed to reignite Rachel's already fast pace. Quinn came hard and Rachel was right behind her screaming Quinn's name as well. She continued to thrust slowly as she worked them both down from their highs but the gentle thrusting was enough to send Quinn over the edge of orgasms number two. The sight of Quinn coming again; her body shuddered violently but otherwise she was quiet with a barely there moan and curling toes.
"Wow," Rachel said or tried to… no words came out. She cleared her throat and tried again. "Wow," Quinn was still shaking but her eyes locked on Rachel's. "That was the sexiest sight ever."
Once Quinn could move, hell once she could form words again she spoke.
"What was sexy… me riding you or you pounding me like it was your fucking job?"
"Both," Rachel chuckled. "But I actually mean the orgasm you just had."
"Which one?" Quinn teased again.
"Well… both," Rachel shrugged. "But the last one… wow you just looked so beautiful, and knowing my actions made you feel that good was incredible."
"You certainly were incredible," Quinn husked and both girls were acutely aware that the strap on was still deep inside Quinn. "You are very talented Rachel Berry." Rachel winked and then pulled out. Quinn shuddered again and Rachel dipped her head. Just as her tongue was about to touch Quinn she felt the girl's hands on her shoulders.
"No babe, please wait I'm-I'm too sensitive."
"I just want…" she trailed off and licked a stripe through Quinn's center; causing another shudder to pass through her. Rachel then moved back up Quinn's body and crashed their lips together in a hot kiss that had them both dripping again. Especially because they could both taste Quinn's desire. Rachel pulled out of the kiss and looked deep in the eyes of her soul mate. "Sorry I just really needed to taste you."
"Don't ever apologize for that," Quinn giggled. "I just need a few minutes," Rachel licked her lips and nodded. She let Quinn have her minute as she took the strap on off and tossed it back into the bag but not before she pulled a blanket out.
Quinn saw this and her eyes lit up with just how much of a romantic her girlfriend was.
"You want to cuddle?" She wondered with a sickeningly sweet tone.
"I do… but I still want more," Rachel winked and Quinn laughed again.
"Are you trying to break a record today?"
"What record?"
"How many times can I make Quinn come?"
"Ooh… no, but that is a great idea," Rachel's eyes lit up as Quinn pulled her closer. They cuddled under the blanket and stared out at the bright lights of the airport. "Why haven't I ever documented this before? I'm going to have to work on this."
"Rachel."
"Yes Quinn."
"Shut up… and cuddle."
"Well okay but later on we're working on more of those orgasms."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," it was quiet for a few moments and then Quinn spoke again. "Rachel?"
"Hm."
"Did you have a good birthday?" Rachel turned in her arms and looked into her eyes, then she nodded.
"It was perfect… seriously Quinn. You made this one of the most memorable days ever. Which is hard to do because every day with you is memorable."
"Still anticipating love?"
"Still… and always," Rachel promised and kissed her nose before settling back in her arms. It's always going to be the same as it was in the beginning… every kiss with you feels like the first."
"I feel that way too." It was quiet for another few moments before Rachel spoke again.
"So how many times did you… today because I want to start documenting this. I'm serious about this Quinn I-"
"Rachel."
"Shutting up," Rachel said but there was no denying the smile on her face. Especially with Quinn's hot breath in her ear and Quinn's strong arms around her. She felt so safe, and loved, and cherished.
And she was, and would always be anticipating love, with Quinn.
Because it was always perfect.
And this was the best birthday ever.
But she knew Quinn would top it… next year, or the year after. Or in twenty or forty years, because she knew she and Quinn would be together and just as in love as they are now for the rest of their lives.
And that was the best feeling of all.
