Against the Wall

She wondered if this was how Olivia felt when she drank wine.

The wine was expensive.

The company was nice, they were friends from her new job.

Her safe job that Huck wanted her to have with safe friends with safe boring husbands.

She wondered if Olivia was bored before meeting the President.

Before Olivia her life was safe, she was one of these overly boring pretentious people.

Was this why Olivia had so much wine?

"Quinn is Huck coming?" Stacey asked, she had long blonde hair and giggled until Quinn wanted to strike her.

"I'm not sure he might be late." Quinn forced herself to smile as the group of women giggled.

They were irritating the hell out of her.

She would prefer Abby's relentless teasing to the company of this pack of hens.

Lately, the girls wanted to meet him. They didn't understand OPA or anything outside of filing claims at the insurance company and George Clooney.

Huck was busy.

Sometimes he was too busy for her.

Tonight she didn't want to be alone, these women she called her friends didn't understand and would never be able to.

"He's so mysterious, we've began to think he's not real." Jane laughed and drank, she threw back her head full of curly red hair and the others joined in.

Quinn grinned and picked up almost empty glass of wine.

"When is he going to put some babies in that oven?" The table broke out in unnecessary laughter, Quinn actually blushed.

Her sex life was rarely up for discussion, no one knew or cared to know. If it did come up for discussion it was awkward.

"Soon hopefully, will you pardon me I just have to go powder my nose." the girls cackled as she disappeared unaware that she was making her way towards the front door.

Quinn walked quickly down the dark street, she felt a pair or eyes on her.

She was being followed, she had felt it all day.

Quinn walked quicker and screamed when she felt a pair of hands grab her and drag her into the alley.

"Where the hell are you going?" Huck asked while slamming her back against the brick wall of a closed bicycle shop.

"I just want to..." Her voice drifted into a distinct murmur.

"I'm waiting..." he gripped her shoulders tightly, she frowned and felt an onslaught of tears about to come. He knew good and well what she was doing.

She was running.

He knew today would be hard for her so he stayed close to her side without her seeing him.

Now she was running and even appeared scared.

"I can't help it, ok. This is the day my life changed forever. Everyone and everything changed and it's hard-"

"I've offered you that life back more times than I should have." Huck saw her turn her head and look away. He grabbed her chin roughly and forced her to look at him. "Look at me when I'm talking to you."

"Huck I'm-"

"You're having a pity party. You have friends that love you. A husband who adores you. Quinn, you've got to let them go and live in the present with us." Huck underestimated her strength and hadn't seen the slap coming, it echoed through the dark alley.

"Huck!" she exclaimed as he stroked the side of his face, "I'm sorry, I-" He moved quickly pushing her back against the wall looking deep in her eyes. They were nose to nose, he could feel her body against his and smell the expensive wine. Her eyes were wide with a bit of shock but mainly fear.

"You're acting like a little girl." He growled, for a moment she had been frightened. He may have been her husband but she still remembered what he was capable of.

Who he really was at the core was frightening and she had hit him.

It had been years since she hit him.

She wondered if he would walk away from her, that's the last thing she wanted at this moment.

He closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against her own and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. She leaned forward wanting more, she didn't want to be alone tonight.

"I didn't waste my time on a little girl, I married a strong woman." Quinn opened her eyes and looked at him, he already removed his jacket and tossed it onto the floor. "I love you, Quinn. I need you to try to be strong for me and you. Those women back there adore you, don't act like a child."

"Huck, I'm sorry but they're awful. I can only tell them so much, they ask so many questions-"

"Oh, so the shoe is on the other foot and you understand now?" He placed his hands on the cracking brick on both sides of her head.

"l guess, and they ask about our sex life and it's odd." She could see him smirking was this amusing to him? She placed her hands against his chest to push him but decided against him.

"What's funny?" she asked, he moved in closer kissing her. She grabbed ahold of his shirt and pulled him closer. Quinn felt his warm tongue snake into her mouth, it had been a long time since they were this close. Her hands moved up and down his chest as she tugged at the flimsy shirt.

"Quinn we're in an alley." He said against her lips, the words didn't deter her at all instead her hands moved towards his waist.

"Yeah, a dark one." She kissed along his jawline and down his neck. "No one would see, besides you're always at work..." Huck's breathing became labored as she drew patterns along his neck with her oddly skilled tongue. She took advantage of his momentary distraction and slipped under his arm, she turned him around, she pushed him backwards against the wall and quickly unbuckled his pants. "We really don't have time to do things like this anymore."

"I can make time..." She pulled down his pants and knelt before him. "I've missed you, Quinn."

"I know," She said arrogantly before tugging down his boxers. The uneven gravel bit into her knees but the pain hadn't overrode her need for him.

Huck on the otherhand was being controlled by his need for her. He hadn't forgot how affectionate she could be and didn't try to control the moans pouring out of his mouth.

He thrust shallowly into her mouth and wrapped his hands into her long hair. He sank into her mouth holding her in that position until she pushed against his thighs. He hissed as she sank her fingernails into the back of his thighs, he yanked on her hair pulling her back.

"Get up." He said and she followed his Command. He grabbed her shoulders roughly and turned her around forcing her back against the brick wall. "Do you always have to wear those stockings?"

"I like them..." She sighed as he tore viciously through the stockings like he always did. "You're buying me more tomorrow..." He lifted her off the ground easily.

The girls left the lounge worried about Quinn. After half an hour they found out that she wasn't in the bathroo. And her car was still parked down the block. They walked down the boulevard nervously, Jane stopped walking when she heard the sound of giggling.

It was familiar.

It was Quinn.

"Hey Quinn! Where did you go we were worried sick and thought-" Stacey stopped talking as she moved to Quinn. The entire group was silent as they watched Huck freeze against the wall, his pants were around his ankles and Quinn's legs were around his waist while her arms were draped around his neck.

"Um... It's finally nice to meet you ladies." Huck said motionlessly. "Quinn has told me so much about you..."

"Ladies could you give us a moment?" Quinn asked and they all turned around blushing furiously as they scattered out of the alley.

Moments later Huck and Quinn stepped out of the alley,

"I'll see you at home." Huck said, he gave her a soft kiss on the cheek and left her and the pack of nosy, giggling women alone.
