Previously on Pink Doesn't Taste that Great
She looked at me skeptically as I unlocked my doors.
"Are you going to get in or not?" I asked
She opened the door and got in. I started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
"I hope you didn't have plans Berry we'll be gone for a while."
"I'm getting out of it right now." She said texting whoever.
"I'm all yours." She smiled
"That sounds gay Berry." I chuckled
"Whatever. Where are we going anyway?" she asked relaxing into the passenger seat
Pink Doesn't Taste that Great Chapter 5
QPOV
"Any chance of you telling me where we're going yet?" Berry asked.
"You said you want to get to me, you want me to rejoin Glee and all that other shit?" I asked
As she sat in the passenger seat she looked at me with a skeptical look on her face.
"Look Quinn, if you plan on harming me in any way I have to insist you take me back to my vehicle." She genuinely looked scared and I couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
"You are hilarious Berry I must admit. You go through all of this to want to be my friend and now you can't even trust that."
She turned to me as I kept my eyes on the road. "Tell me Quinn, what would you do if the tables were turned?"
I slowed the car to a stop pinching the bridge of my nose. She had a point even though I'd never admit it to her.
"Relax will ya? I'm hungry so I figured you'd want to grab a bite to eat."
"So you dragged us 30 minutes away from home just to get something to eat?" She asked as I pulled back onto the deserted road.
"You're a vegan right?" I asked
"I am but I hardly see what that has to do with anything." She said as I turned right onto the road we were to be on.
"You'll see."
My phone rang signaling a text. I took it up reading the text and smiling to myself.
Hey babe, we meeting tonight or what?
Tony I thought
I hit the reply button typing a quick reply.
Can't, busy
I returned my phone to its previous position as I turned into the bar parking lot.
Rachel's eyes bugged as she saw that we reached our destination. I got out of the car and walked around to her door. Opening I cocked my eyebrow.
"Do you plan to get out or will I have to drag you out?" I asked smirking
"Where are we Quinn?" She asked getting out hesitantly.
"Geez, it's a bar Berry. They have Vegan friendly food funnily enough and I could use a drink. Best part is I've been coming here so often with Tony I don't get carded." I said closing my door.
We walked over to the entrance and I opened the door.
"You'll be fine. Shouldn't be any brawls in here tonight; but we can always hope."
Berry screeched at my reply and entered. I greeted Skye at the bar and made our way to a table. The room wasn't its usual full at capacity but that could be because it was early. I told Rachel to take a seat and excused myself to the bar. After ordering some food and two beers Skye pointed over to the table where Rachel sat with a man I've never seen, his hand was around her shoulder and uncomfortable would never measure up to how she looked at that moment. I grabbed the beers and rushed back to the table.
"What the hell Berry, I bring you on a date and you attract wild life?" I asked sitting on the other side of her. The man's hand moved from around her shoulder.
"What, a date? This hot piece of ass with you Pink?" The man obviously drunk slurred at me.
"What's it to ya?" I asked pulling Rachel to sit on my lap handing her a beer. She must've been in shock because she made absolutely no attempts to move from there.
"I think this chick is going home with me Pink." I laughed and Rachel started to physically shiver at the man's words. I ran my hands along her sides trying to calm her.
"I doubt that." I said
As the man was about to stand and pull Rachel off my lap I smiled as I heard a noise behind him.
"Yo Quinn everything alright here?" Skye asked with her shot gun in hand.
"I don't know, do we have a problem?" I asked looking at the quickly sobering guy.
He turned to look at Skye hands raised
"Hey, no worries Skye, nothing to see here I was just leaving actually." He said grabbing his jacket and heading through the door."
"Good looking out Skye."
"Anything for Tony's girl Q." she said turning the safety on and returning behind the bar with Mark. Berry still sat on my lap and I chuckled as I attempted to move her.
"Berry you need to stand up." Hearing her name did the trick as she remembered where she was and who she was with.
"What the hell Quinn!" She exclaimed hitting my shoulder slightly.
"Oh relax will ya? Come on I'm taking you to the corner booth so none of these guys won't make that stupid mistake again."
As we moved to the other booth she relaxed a bit. Our food arrived as we sat and I thanked Skye and started to eat.
"Don't let your food get cold. Its good trust me it's my favourite." I said pointing to her plate.
"Can I have something other than beer to drink?" She whispered taking her fork up.
"Sure what do you want?" I asked in between bites
"Soda is good." She replied
"Coming right up." I said raising my hand
RPOV
How the hell did I get in this position? I thought to myself.
I get that I wanted to be friends with this girl but this is starting to feel like more than I bargained for. After the incident with the man Quinn refused to leave my side but also refused to talk. I decided to start a conversation with her after she's finished eating hoping to get at least one answer to the many questions plaguing my mind.
"Quinn, how did you and Tony meet?" I asked
Her eyes turned dark and she leaned into me.
"Listen up Berry, if we're going to be friends you need to know. Tony is out of bounds for us nothing to do with him, this bar, or what happened tonight is to leave your mouth. If you know what's good for you, you'll remember that." She said taking a swig of the beer I refused.
I nodded and drank the remainder of my soda.
Looking at her watch she got out of the booth.
"Come on."
I slid out walking closely behind her. We passed the bar and she said something to Skye the bartender before slipping her some money.
"Hey Q, are we seeing you and your friend back here tonight?" She asked before we exited
"Not tonight babe, I got some business to take care of tonight." She replied. The bartender looked me over.
"Feel free to come back anytime baby, you're hot and Lord knows I've never been with a Jewish girl." She said
I gulped and Quinn reached for my hand.
"Skye, she's off limits." Quinn gritted.
"She's yours Q?" Skye asked licking her lips, not taking her eyes off me. I shrunk into Quinn a little.
"You could say that." Quinn said pulling me through the door.
As we entered her car Quinn started it and pulled out of the parking lot.
"What did she mean?" I asked
Quinn shook her head in annoyance.
"What do you mean Berry?" She asked
"What does Skye mean by asking if I belong to you?"
"Look let's not make a big deal out of it, I wanted you to try their food which you have to admit was amazing; Skye thinks you're hot and she would get you if she wanted but knowing you are with me will stop her from ever attempting to get at you. Even though she knows you really aren't mine because I'm with Tony or whatever."
"I must admit the food was great." I said settling into the passenger seat we were some ways out from the park and I needed to process this entire trip.
"Yea I knew you would like it. Think of it as my first step to showing how much I wanna be your friend or whatever." She said waving her hand nonchalantly
"Progress is progress." I murmured to myself. Had she heard what I said she made no indication but instead continued on to Lima.
Quinn dropped me off to my car, made sure I got in and then drove behind me just to make sure I got in safe. I promised to see her tomorrow and she promised to send me a text as she got home.
I entered my room to see my dads on the living room couch sitting with the television on and wrapped into one another.
"Hey dad, daddy."
"Hello sweety how was dinner?" Daddy asked. I texted him to let him know I was going to dinner with a friend. Unsure about telling the truth I decided to omit certain parts.
"It was great, I'm going to go shower and then hit the books I have an assignment to work on. Goodnight dad, daddy." I said walking over to them kissing them both.
"Night Rach." I heard as I ran up the stairs.
I decided to shower and settle into bed before I looked at my phone. I hadn't looked at it since the text I sent my fathers and I must've been missed a lot. All thoughts of school work abandoned from my mind as I settled into my bed and covering up the only light being my cell phone.
Sure enough, 5 text messages and 6 missed calls printed on the screen of my phone.
The first 3 text along with all calls were from Finn wanting to know where I was. 1 text came from Santana about our Glee assignment and another from Kurt about a skirt he wanted to buy for me. The final text was from Quinn, I smiled thinking about the possibilities of what she could've said.
Hey Berry, I did as you asked and I'm texting as I got into the house. However I really want to leave again and since my favourite Jew is probably in bed I have nowhere to go. Any suggestions?
I smiled at her text and hit a quick reply.
Well Quinn I'm sure Noah is still awake and playing some video game so you can always give him a quick call. – R.B
I sent reply and wondered if she was still awake or not. My phone vibrated signifying the answer to my question.
You are funny you know that? I meant you Berry. P.S. What you wearing?
I scoffed typing my reply.
Oh did you well I am in bed but a tad too wired to sleep at the moment. P.S. I don't see how that's any of your business. – R.B
Well I can't sleep either and I dont have to be at school tomorrow. Where's your bedroom? P.S. It is my business I have to make sure you're decent
Why do you want to know the location of my bedroom? – R.B
Because I'm parked 2 blocks away and I'm currently outside your house waiting to see how best I can get into your room.
I jumped from my bed phone still in hand to my window. Opening it sure enough standing behind the Oak tree in front my bedroom was Quinn Fabray. She looked up at me and smiled. Signaling for me to step back she climbed the tree slowly but surely ending up on a branch outside my room.
"Move over Berry." She said grinning widely.
"Quinn what the hell are you doing?" I hissed trying to keep my voice down as my dads were still very much awake and downstairs.
"Just move will ya?" She asked I stepped back and she maneuvered onto my windowsill and hopped onto the floor.
"Hey." She whispered closing my bedroom window and taking her shoes off placing them under my window incase.
I stood there still in shock at Quinn Fabray in my bedroom on a school night.
"What are you doing here?" I whispered walking over to my bedroom door locking it so my dads wouldn't surprise us with a visit.
"My mom is pretty much passed out at home and I couldn't sleep as I said. You said you were too wired to sleep so I'm here to entertain, besides it's still early and I'm bored."
I walked over to my bed only now noticing what she had been wearing. Her old Cheerios letterman and a WMHS track pants.
"Stop checking me out Berry." She whispered sitting on the bed with me.
"I-I wasn-" I stuttered
"I know I'm kidding, lighten up. Do I make you nervous?" She asked
I nodded "A little. Is that a bad thing?"
She crossed her feet in my bed and I made myself comfortable.
"Yes it is, I want you to feel as comfortable as you make me feel. Well over the past couple days at least." She admitted.
I nodded and a yawn escaped.
"So you are tired." She said her pink her swaying in the darkness.
"Not really." I lied
"Yeah, I totally believe that. Get your ass under the covers now Berry." She instructed
In the darkness she pulled the covers back and I got under them.
"This really isn't necessary Quinn."
"Yeah whatever Berry just scoot over a little." She said laying on top the covers.
"Are you going to be comfortable?" I asked
"Don't worry about me, just relax and close your eyes." She replied
I hadn't realized exactly how tired I had been until I felt myself relax; the heat from her body prickling at my skin as she hummed lowly to herself.
"Is this normal for friends?" I whispered
She turned to face me.
"I say make up your own rules as long as you have fun doing it."
"So are you having fun?" I asked yawning again.
"Put it this way Berry. Spending time with you makes me feel something I have never EVER felt and I don't know what it is but I don't think I can stay away anymore."
"I don't want you to." I said closing my eyes.
"Good because I'm starting to get used to you Rachel Berry and I'm glad we decided to be friends."
"I'm glad you finally gave me a chance." I mumbled
Silence fell upon us and a thought came into my mind.
"I miss it you know." I said
She sighed slightly
"What do you miss?" She asked
"I miss hearing you sing." Her breath hitched and I started to drift. I felt her move but made no indication that I was awake any longer when I felt her hand stroking my cheek.
"I miss singing, but the real reason I came over is because I missed the feeling I get being with you; like the person I am supposed to be will be found because of you or something. I miss hearing you sing and I miss singing but I think if we continue to be friends you'll save me from myself before it's too late. I just hope it's not too late and I don't get you hurt."
I opened my eyes to find hers closed. Her breath evened out and I felt a patch of wetness pool where her head rested next to mine. She was crying.
well i'll admit i like this chapter...tell me what you think to be clear since the story is in the past i think it's safe to go from both POVs and some sexual content may be included in chapters soon to come but wait and see. i'm totally winging it with this story which i think is a good thing.
Today's Poll: Should Finn and Rachel break up next chapter? well any drama really, should there be drama next chapter?
Let me know what you think
Specks :)
