Chapter Sixteen
You're Pathetic
"My mother is never going to say yes." Quinn insisted as they stood in the living room of her house. "She already knows that I've been talking to Rachel behind her back."
"You've been talking to Rachel behind your mom's back?" Brooke wondered with a devious smirk on her lips as she cast her eyes toward her best friend.
"Yes."
"Just talking to her, or—" Her voice was suggestive in nature and Quinn knew exactly what she was implying.
"—Just talking, Brooke!" She interrupted. "I went over to Rachel's house to work on our glee assignment and my mom found out about it. Apparently she has been tracking my cellphone to see where I am and who I am talking to at all times."
"At least your mom cares to know where you are. I could be dead for a year before mine even noticed."
"I think I would rather have her not care at all."
"So that you could be with Rachel?" Brooke teased playfully, waggling her eyebrows at the blonde. Caroline was laughing at the interaction. They both watched as a blush covered Quinn's face and she crossed her arms, glaring at them.
"Enough." She muttered. "And by the way, talking about that here probably isn't the best idea." She motioned to her living room, knowing that her mother could be eavesdropping on them all.
Caroline's smile spread across her face and her blue eyes glimmered with excitement as she told her friends, "Your mom will be fine. Just leave the talking to me, I'll convince her to let you go."
"Hello girls." Judy said with a smile as she walked into the living room and witnessed the three of them talking. "It's been a while since you two have come over."
'That's because you are a crazy bitch…' Brooke thought to herself as she forced a smile. "Yeah, I know. It's been way too long Judy."
"Would you girls like something to drink, or a snack?"
"I could use a—" Brooke started, only to have Caroline elbow her in the ribs. "Ow. Never mind." She muttered out.
Caroline smiled brightly and took a few steps toward Quinn's mother. "No, we are fine Judy. Actually, we came over to ask your permission to let Quinn go on a trip with us this weekend."
"Go with you where?"
"My family has a log cabin in the woods up north, and they told me to invite Quinn and Brooke up to spend the weekend with us in order to get away from all of this tragedy. My mom thought it would be a good idea."
"Where is this cabin exactly, and are you three the only ones who are going?" Judy asked.
"I will write down the location and address for you. And yeah, it is just gonna be the three of us. You can call my mom and ask if you want." Caroline offered reassuringly.
"I think I'll do just that." She smiled and walked across the living room toward the telephone, picking it up and dialing the number. She and Liz had been friends for a long time and she trusted her. Putting the phone to her ear she listened as it rang. "Liz? Yeah. About this trip that the girls are planning, they have your permission right? And there will be an adult there? Who's all going? Okay, thank you." Judy hung up the phone and returned to the group.
They all stared at Judy with hopeful eyes. Even Quinn was growing excited about the idea of getting away from her family and out of the town. She wanted to escape.
"Okay you can go. But, I want you to call me frequently and to make sure that you bring your cellphone, Quinnie."
'So that you can track me down…?'
"I will."
O
Caroline was beyond grateful that her mother had been willing to lie for her. She had told her that Quinn's mom wouldn't let her go because she didn't like Rachel, and she had offered to lie for her. Maybe it wasn't the best "mom" thing to do, but she loved her for it. Now there was just one more person that she needed to convince.
Rebekah Mikaelson.
She knew that it wasn't going to be easy. Rebekah had not been attending school since the incident and she spent most of her time in her room alone. Caroline had visited her every day, but she had not been able to get her to leave the room. She always ended up crawling into the bed with her and snuggling up against her and talking.
Rebekah was broken and it was going to take time to fix her.
Caroline planned to put all of the pieces back together though. Even if it took forever. Some of it was because she blamed herself for breaking the other woman. Most of it though, was simply because she missed seeing her smile and having her tease her.
She missed Rebekah.
Opening the front door to the Mikaelson estate, she peeked her head inside and looked around. Rebekah had given her a key because of how often she had been coming over lately. Caroline made her way into the house, closing and locking the door behind her, before heading up the stairs toward Rebekah's room.
Caroline stared at the door and took in a breath. She reached out and pushed the door open, walking into the other woman's room.
Rebekah was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed writing in her journal. She wrote in her journal all of the time since the incident.
She glanced over at Caroline and offered her a soft smile. She was used to her coming over. "I was starting to grow worrisome that you might not show today."
"I plan to come over every single day. I already told you that." She returned the smile with a bright smile and walked across the room toward the bed, taking a seat on the edge beside the blonde Brit. "What are ya writing?" She leant over to look at the journal, but Rebekah closed it quickly.
"Nothing of importance."
Caroline knew that it was personal and that it was none of her business, so she did not press. Instead she moved up on the bed and rested her head against Rebekah's shoulder. "I'm sorry that I was late. I had to go and convince Quinn's mom to let her go with us this weekend."
"You are leaving?" Her voice was low and sad. She was going to miss the visits. 'I knew that it was only a matter of time before she tired of visiting me…'
"Yeah." She could hear the sadness in the other's accented voice, but she was planning on inviting her with. "Brooke, Quinn, Haley, Rachel, and I were gonna go on a road trip to my dads' cabin up north and have a fun weekend."
"I see." Rebekah muttered, feeling excluded. "In that case, I will miss your visits."
"Or you could come with?" Caroline offered. Her voice sounded more like a plead than a casual suggestion. She wanted her to say yes.
"Caroline…" She whispered. "I would love to spend time with you and only you, I am just uncertain I am ready for that."
"Come on Rebekah, please?" She leant forward and stared directly into Rebekah's blue eyes, begging her to come with her. "I really want you to go!" She forced a pout onto her lips and knit her brows together. "Please?"
Rebekah smirked and stared back at her amusedly. "That look is not going to work on me." She insisted. "I am not in the mood to have fun."
"You'd rather just sit around and mope all weekend?" Caroline whined.
"Preferably, yes."
"Please come with us?" She pouted even more as she leant in closer to her. "I want you there, Rebekah. We can do exactly what we do here while we are there. I just want to spend my weekend with you." She started to blush at the admittance, but she held her ground. There was no way that she was backing down.
Rebekah stared into Caroline's eyes, chewing on her cheeks and pursing her lips. "Fine. I will go. But only because I wish to spend time with you, Caroline."
Caroline's smile engulfed her as she lunged forward and captured Rebekah's full lips in a kiss. The kiss was short and sweet. They had not yet put a title on their relationship, but there was definitely something between the two of them. Neither was really prepared to figure it out, they just knew that they were happy together.
Smiling against Rebekah's lips she spoke, "You better get ready. We leave in an hour."
Caroline squeaked excitedly and jumped out of the bed, skipping out of the room. She was so pleased that her plan had worked.
O
Caroline lugged her suitcase over the curb and toward the car, throwing it into the back. Once it was inside she smiled smugly and wiped her hands. She couldn't stop smiling ever since Rebekah had agreed to go with them on the trip. But, she was still anxious that she would not show up. She was the only one who had not arrived yet.
"Okay." Haley announced as she carried a cooler toward the car. "I packed everyone some snacks and drinks for the drive there." She put the cooler in the car.
"I brought some of my favorite music that we can listen to on the trip." Rachel stated with a wide smile. "And also I am open for anyone who requires help with their parts at sectionals. I do not wish for this trip to be a distraction from the competition."
All of them turned and stared at her with looks of confusion. None of them wanted to worry about school on the trip, or to listen to Rachel Berry's music.
"Don't worry you guys." Brooke said, walking up to the group with a dimpled grin. "I brought some music too."
They all sighed and Rachel turned to look around at them with a hurt expression on her face, her eyebrows knit together and her full lips parted. "I do not appreciate you all implying that my music selection is insufficient for the trip. I have a wide assortment of song choices, all of which are spectacular."
Brooke laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
"I brought the car." Caroline announced with her hands on her hips and a proud smile on her face. She wanted to join in the conversation. Glancing around she looked for any sign of Rebekah, but she was nowhere to be found. 'She's probably not coming…'
"I brought myself. Is that sufficient?"
Caroline's eyes widened and her heart leapt as she turned and stared at the woman standing behind her. Rebekah had shown up. "That is more than sufficient!" She exclaimed excitedly. She was wearing a look that told Rebekah that she was so happy that she had shown up. "Alright!" Caroline turned and looked at her friends. "Now everyone get into the car and let's get this show on the road!"
O
Caroline was driving, her eyes focused on the road. Rebekah was sitting beside her in the passenger seat staring out the window. Quinn and Rachel were sitting in the center seat behind them. Both looked uncomfortable and awkward as Quinn stared out the window and Rachel tried not to look too obvious about staring at the blonde. She was obvious. Brooke and Haley were snuggled up close to each other in the back seat.
Every time that the car would hit a bump in the road or Caroline would make a turn, Quinn felt Rachel's arm brush up against hers. She knew that she could move it and solve the problem, but she didn't want to.
She enjoyed the contact.
Honestly, she wanted more of the contact.
Rachel stared down at their hands that were brushing against each other and she smiled gently. She knew that she needed to be the daring one despite her fear. Extending her fingers she allowed them to brush against the back of Quinn's hand, enjoying the soft skin that she felt beneath them. Rachel did not plan to back down from her pursuits on Quinn, no matter what she told her. She knew that the other woman loved her and she would break down her walls.
The cheerleader chewed on her bottom lip as she stared at their hands. She was having an internal battle with herself. 'Should I pull my hand away…? I don't want to… but… I don't know.'
Quinn could already tell that it was going to be a very long trip.
Casting her hazel eyes toward the window and watching the fields pass her by though, she could feel a strange relief. A guilty weight and fear lifting off of her shoulders. She still felt the guilt of God judging her, of never making it into Heaven and being condemned to Hell. But, knowing that her parents were far away helped her to not worry as much. It sort of felt freeing.
"You guys wanna play the radio game?" Caroline asked from driver seat. Looking up at the rearview mirror in order to see her friends.
"Yeah, totally!" Brooke screamed out from the back of the car. She loved the radio game.
"What is the radio game?" Rachel wondered curiously, looking over at Quinn.
"It is a game that we made up when we were in the eighth grade" Quinn informed. "The three of us used to go on a lot of family trips together and we needed a way to preoccupy ourselves, so we invented the radio game."
"How does it work?" Haley asked with a smile. She could tell that Brooke was excited to play. She was practically bouncing around the back seat.
"It's pretty easy to play, really." Caroline said. "You just ask the radio a question, anything that you want to know the answer to, and then whatever song comes on is the answer to your question! It's a lot of fun!" She smiled brightly and chanced a glance over at Rebekah in order to see how she was doing. Rebekah had not really responded to the idea as she continued to stare out the window lost in thought.
Caroline frowned and returned her eyes to the road. "So, who wants to go first?" She had to force her enthusiasm and she did not like it.
"I'll go first!" Brooke shouted. She took a moment to think about a good question. It was too early in the game to really choose anything risky, so she decided to just stick with a generic question. If she had her way she would get to ask a lot more. "Is this weekend going to be really fun?"
The blonde clicked next on the Pandora Radio app on her phone and silently prayed that it would be a positive song. She wanted Rebekah to enjoy the weekend and forget about all of the heartache.
"I gotta feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night,
That tonight's gonna be a good night,
That tonight's gonna be a good good night.
Tonight's the night, Let's live it up,
I got my money, Let's spend it up.
Go out and smash it, Like oh my God,
Jump off the sofa, Let's get get OFF!"
"Thank god." Caroline muttered before joining in with her friends singing along to the song that they all loved.
Brooke was in the backseat singing loudly while Haley stared at her with perplexed eyes. She had never heard the song before, but she was enjoying watching her girlfriend go crazy and sing along with it. She certainly was not embarrassed about not being able to sing when she was in the car.
Rebekah stared over at Caroline and asked her, "You do not truly believe that this silly game can tell you the future do you?"
Caroline sighed and smiled. "You would be surprised."
"That I would." 'I do not see myself enjoying this weekend in the slightest… well perhaps the slightest because of Caroline… but I am not in the mood to enjoy it.'
Gripping the wheel tightly, the blonde clenched her jaw in frustration. She could not handle the negativity. It was not that she did not understand it, she did, it was that it really hurt her. "I'll go!" She announced. "Is Rebekah going to stop being grumpy and have a fun weekend and start smiling again?"
Rebekah stared at her with a look of mortification. "No matter what the song says it does not prove anything."
Caroline simply shrugged her shoulders and clicked the next button.
"It's four Am, I'm waking up to your perfume,
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own,
I don't know if I'm home, or if I lost my way into your room,
I'm spiraling into my doom,
I'm feeling half alive, but I know one day you and I will be free,
To live and die by our own rules,
Free, despite the fact that men are fools.
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try and save me.
It's okay that we're dying, but I need to survive tonight, tonight.
And I was trying to disappear,
But you got me wrapped around you,
I can hardly breathe without you,
I was trying to disappear, but I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now."
Caroline smiled as the song came to an end. She felt that despite it being a sad song, it was still a positive answer. That it was a sign that she would be the one to pull her out of her depression. Glancing over at Rebekah she watched as the other blonde rolled her eyes.
"It is only a silly game."
"Keep telling yourself that." She grinned. "You can deny it all that you want, Bekah, but you are so going to enjoy this weekend!"
Rebekah could not help but smile as she looked back out the window.
Quinn furrowed her brow as she watched their interaction. She understood why Caroline was concerned and that she blamed herself, she was a caring individual when it came to people that she loved, but she did not understand what else was going on between the two of them. Looking over her seat, she caught Brooke's eyes and the brunette just shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay! Someone else's turn!"
"I suppose that I can ask a question." Rachel said. "Though, I am already aware of the answer I guess I will test the validity of this game, will I be a star on Broadway?"
"Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down,
I'd just stare out my window.
Dreaming of what could be, and if I'd end up happy,
I would pray.
Trying hard to reach out, But when I tried to speak out,
Felt like no one could hear me.
Wanted to belong here, but something felt so wrong here,
So I prayed, I could break away.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky,
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change,
And Break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
But I won't forget all the ones that I love,
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change,
And Break away.
Wanna feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree,
Feel the rush of the ocean.
Get onboard a fast train, travel on a jet plane, far away,
And break away."
"It seems that I was mistaken about this game. It is completely valid." Rachel smiled. "I will take that answer as a very good sign for my future on Broadway."
Quinn smiled and looked over at her, catching her large excited brown eyes with hazel. She got lost in them momentarily. "I told you so."
Rachel felt her heart start to race in her chest as she stared back into those mesmerizing eyes. She loved looking into them. Biting down on her bottom lip she forced herself to have courage and willed her hand to move. Gently she placed it on top of Quinn's and held onto her hand. Rachel expected her to pull away. She didn't. She looked around quickly to make sure that no one had witnessed what happened and then smiled and stared down at their hands. She wasn't as scared with her parents miles away.
"You should go, Quinn." The petite diva encouraged.
"Alright." She stated, looking away and blushing brightly as she felt fingers trace over her hand. She loved when Rachel touched her. "Uh… What is going to happen after high school is over?"
They all stared toward the radio as they waited for a response.
"Cursed by my imagination,
Teaming with echoes of situations.
I do not feel well, pressed beneath this spell.
Polishing my social skills,
With one more drink, and two more pills.
I do not feel good, I thought by now I would.
But then again, it's like a thousand paper cuts,
Soaked in vinegar.
Like the battles with yourself,
That leave you insecure.
It's all just a numbing charade,
Until the day you finally wake up, and you're not afraid."
"Wow… that sounds promising." Brooke stated.
"It's probably not as bad as it sounds." Caroline tried to make the situation better. It sounded like things would be bad and maybe get better. At least that was how she was going to take it. "Alright, I have a question! Should I or should I not get into the relationship that I am thinking about getting into?" 'Please, please, please be positive!'
"Wait." Quinn stopped her before she clicked the play button. She didn't know that Caroline was thinking about getting into another relationship. "You're thinking about getting into a new relationship?"
"Yeah." Her body tensed and she could practically hear Rebekah smirk beside her.
"Who do you like?"
"That's really not important—" She tried to dismiss the question, but the other woman was not having it.
"—Yes, it is…" Quinn smiled reassuringly. "Who is he? Do we know him?"
"Yes, sweets." Rebekah teased beside her. "Please do tell us who this new love interest of yours is. I am most curious."
Caroline's blush intensified. 'You wanted the teasing back! God… be careful what you ask for next time Caroline!'
Brooke smirked deviously. "I know who it—" She was silenced by Haley who was giving her a death glare. She had told her not to make it harder on Caroline and now she was going to tell the one person who would do just that? She shut her mouth, but her smirk remained.
Quinn glanced around at everyone with a scowl on her lips and a raised brow. She felt like they all knew who Caroline liked and they were deliberately keeping it from her. It upset her. Even Rachel was wearing a knowing smile. "Okay, what is going on here? What do you all know that I don't?"
"Nothing!" Caroline insisted angrily. "It doesn't matter, none of you know him!"
She clicked next on the radio and ignored them all.
"Can't you see? There's a feeling that's come over me.
Close my eyes; you're the only one that leaves me completely breathless.
No need to wonder why,
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny.
'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings,
And time held its breath so I could see, Yeah,
You set me free.
There's a will, there's a way,
Sometimes words just can't explain.
This is real, I'm afraid,
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting,
You make me restless.
You're in my heart,
The only light that shines there in the dark.
When I was alone, you came around,
When I was down.
You pulled me through, and there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you."
"I'd say that means go for it." Quinn said, staring at the back of her friend's head. She was upset with her for keeping secrets from her.
Rebekah smirked and looked over at Caroline. "As fate would have it."
"I thought it was just a silly game."
"I thought that you said that it wasn't."
Caroline did not respond as she strummed her fingers against the wheel and her heart raced. The song had told her to go for things with Rebekah and she was planning on doing just that. It just scared her to death. 'At least she is teasing me and smiling again… that makes all of this embarrassment worthwhile…'
"You should ask something, Haley." Rachel told her best friend. She knew that she was trying to hide away and never have to say anything.
Haley looked up at Brooke who smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Why not?"
"Okay… Uh…" The tutor bit down on her bottom lip and thought about it. She knew what she wanted to ask. "Will Brooke and I stay together for a very long time?"
Caroline clicked play.
"All around me are familiar faces,
Worn out places, worn out faces,
Bright and early for their daily races,
Going nowhere, going nowhere.
Their tears are filling up their glasses,
No expression, no expression.
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow,
No tomorrow, no tomorrow.
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad,
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take,
When people run in circles,
It's a very, very mad world, mad world.
Children waiting for the day they feel good,
Happy birthday, happy birthday.
And I feel the way that every child should,
Sit and listen, sit and listen.
Went to school and I was very nervous,
No one knew me, no one knew me.
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson,
Look right through me, look right through me."
Haley pouted as she heard the lyrics. It did not sound like Brooke and her would be together for long at all. Brooke was not pleased with the lyrics.
"I am sorry Haley." Rachel said with a sad expression.
The tutor laughed and waved her hand. "It's just a game, Rach."
"Like Hell it is! Okay, my turn." Brooke announced angrily. "Will Haley and I be together forever?"
"You can't repeat questions, Brooke." Quinn said.
"It's not a repeat, it's a different question!"
"Brooke! You just have to accept your answer! You know the rules." Caroline shouted from the front of the car. She always did this whenever she got an answer that she was not happy with.
Brooke pouted and stared over at Haley who laughed at her girlfriend's immaturity. It was adorable how upset she had got at the radio for telling them that they would not be together for long, but it was just a game. "It's just a game." She insisted, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. Brooke temporarily forgot about the game as her eyes fluttered closed and she moaned out against the soft lips.
Pulling away a little she stared down into Haley's eyes. "Trust me. This game has been right a lot of times, Hales."
"Well, it is wrong now." She smiled and kissed her again. "I'm never leaving you, Brooke Davis."
"Mm…" She kissed her once more. "Okay, good."
Quinn tried not to let the sounds coming from the back seat affect her. She sighed. "Is everyone here finding happiness and moving on without me?"
"You could be happy, Quinn." Rachel insisted beside her, squeezing down on her hand.
She blushed and shrugged her shoulders. "I wish that I could."
"You can." She smiled. "If Quinn allowed herself to do what truly makes her happy, could she finally be happy?"
Caroline smirked as she pressed the next button on the radio. All of them knew exactly what Rachel was implying. That she was really asking if Quinn admitted her feelings to her would she finally be happy.
"I'm tugging at my hair, I'm pulling at my clothes,
I'm trying to keep my cool, I know it shows.
I'm staring at my feet, my cheeks are turning red,
I'm searching for the words inside my head.
I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect,
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it.
If I could say what I want to say,
I'd say, I wanna blow you away,
Be with you every night, Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see,
I want to see you go down on one knee, Marry me today,
Guess I'm wishing my life away,
With these things I'll never say.
It don't do me any good, it's just a waste of time,
What use is it to you what's on my mind?
If it aint coming out, we're not going anywhere,
So why can't I just tell you that I care?"
Quinn's body was tense after the song came to a conclusion. She did not know how to respond or what to say. Everyone in the car was staring at her aside from Caroline and Rebekah, and she knew what they were thinking. Turning, she caught brown eyes with hazel and watched Rachel's smile spread.
"I told you so."
O
They had all moved into their rooms and settled in after Caroline gave them the grand tour. It was already late, but she told them that they would go out and see the hot tub and the lake tomorrow. Then they had all suggested that they have a scary movie night in the living room. There was a big screen television and tons of couches and chairs.
It would be fun.
Well, for everyone aside from Caroline and Rachel who both hated horror movies.
Rebekah had escaped to her room and she had not returned to the group. Caroline had the feeling that she would not be back, and she was not going to allow that. Opening the door to the room that the other blonde was staying in, she smiled brightly as Rebekah turned to look at her from the bed. She was writing in her journal again.
'I wonder what she is always writing in her journal…'
"Hey." Caroline greeted with a smile as she slowly walked into the bedroom.
"Hello, Caroline."
"Do you just plan on spending the entire weekend cooped up in this room?" She wondered, taking a seat on the bed in front of her.
"That was my plan, yes." Rebekah stated honestly with a gentle smile. She sat up all the way and scooted across the bed closer to Caroline.
"Well, that plan sucks!" She stated bluntly.
"Sorry to disappoint." The British woman laughed and shook her head, her long blonde hair cascading down over her shoulders. "I just do not feel up for socializing."
"Okay, I get it. Really I do." Caroline's words said that she understood, but she sounded disappointed. Rebekah hated being the reason that she was upset, she just could not bring herself to want to talk to others and have fun. "But, all the girls wanted to have a scary movie night tonight and I really want you down there with me."
"I'm sorry, I just—"
"—Oh come on! Please?! Who else am I going to hold when I get scared?"
She smirked. "I see. You only wish to use me then?"
"Pretty much." Caroline teased back with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders. Rebekah raised a brow at her and she started laughing, leaning forward and staring up into beautiful blue eyes. She lifted her hand and stroked blonde hair away from Rebekah's face and then pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead. Staring into her eyes she said, "That, and I really want to spend time with you and see you happy again."
"You really want to see me happy again?" She leant forward a little, her full lips twisting up.
Caroline blushed brightly as she felt her breath rushing against her lips. "Yes." She breathed out softly.
"Then please do kiss me?"
"I uh—" Her blush intensified as she bit down on her bottom lip and stared down at Rebekah's inviting lips. She wanted nothing more than to taste them again, to feel their softness against her own. Finally, she cupped her cheek with her hand and leant in kissing her with passion and fever.
Both women moaned out into the kiss as their lips moved against each other and Caroline pushed Rebekah back onto the bed straddling her waist. The kiss was needy. Rebekah placed her hands on the other woman's perfect hips, pulling her body closer to her own as Caroline tangled her hands in blonde hair. The kiss was not rushed though, it was deliberate and they both were taking time to memorize each other.
Caroline ran her tongue along Rebekah's bottom lip before tugging it between her lips and biting down on it.
"Mmm…" Rebekah moaned out into her mouth and lifted her hips off of the bed. She needed more contact.
Suddenly, Caroline pulled out of the kiss and stared down into blue eyes. She was breathing heavily and trying to control her need and desire, but it was difficult when Rebekah was beneath her. The other woman was undeniably attractive. "They are waiting for us." She laughed a little.
"I don't really care." She reached up and twisted her hand in blonde curls pulling her back down into another heated kiss.
O
Haley was in the kitchen waiting for the popcorn to finish popping. Caroline had put her on "popcorn duty" before running upstairs to check if Rebekah wanted to watch movies with them. Personally she was excited to watch horror movies. They were her favorite genre and she had never really had friends who would watch them with her. Rachel was afraid of the Lion King for Christ's sake.
Brooke walked into the kitchen and she stopped in place, looking Haley over. She bit down on her bottom lip as her hazel eyes roamed over her perfect shoulders and down over her back where a little sliver of skin was exposed where her tank-top and shorts met. Her perfect legs were exposed for her to see.
'God how can she not know that she is hot as hell?'
Brooke walked up to Haley who had her back turned to her and placed her hands on her hips, smirking against her ear. "Mmm… how is it possible that you make popping popcorn look so sexy?"
Haley blushed brightly and smiled leaning back against her girlfriend's body. She felt the comfortable warmth surround her and melted into it. "I don't."
"I disagree." Brooke stated in a deep and husky voice. She leant in and placed heated kisses along the exposed skin of the other woman's neck, feeling her body shake and hearing her let out soft humming noises. She ran her tongue along the sensitive skin and Haley moaned out louder. "You don't even understand how sexy I think you are, Haley."
Brooke traced her fingers along her hips as she pressed her body closer to her back. Haley could feel her hardened nipples through her top and it caused wetness to build and her arousal to rise. She wanted her. "I want you all the time." She whispered hotly against her neck. "To kiss you." She kissed her shoulder. "To touch you." Her voice dropped even lower as her fingers traced along her stomach beneath the waistband of her shorts.
Haley sucked in a sharp breath as she felt those fingers infiltrate an area that had never been touched by anyone before.
"Brooke." Her voice quavered.
Brooke pressed her fingers even lower, teasing the skin beneath the waistband of her shorts and pushing them under her panties. She stopped moving them and let them rest directly over Haley's heated womanhood. Her own body was reacting to the contact. She had wanted to touch Haley for so long that being this close to touching her nearly was enough to push her over the edge.
Haley moaned out and leant forward bracing herself against the counter and opening her legs wider to give Brooke better access to the place she needed to be touched.
Nibbling on her ear she asked teasingly, "Yes, Haley?"
"I want you."
The words caused Brooke's body to quake and a loud moan to escape her throat.
"Are you two coming—" Rachel's voice echoed off of the walls as she opened the kitchen door. Her brown eyes widened at what she saw before the other women pulled apart from each other and stared across the room at her. Haley looked like a deer caught in headlights as she blushed brightly and ducked her head from her best friend's stare.
"I guess no one's coming now." Brooke flashed Haley a dimpled smirk as she reached over her shoulder and opened the microwave taking the popcorn out and turning around to face Rachel. "Popcorn is ready."
"I-I-I apologize for um—interrupting the two of you, but the movie is about to begin. Quinn went to get Caroline and Rebekah and I just wanted to check on your progress." She quickly rushed out of the room feeling uncomfortable.
Haley turned to glare over at her girlfriend. "You are terrible!"
"You love it." Brooke grinned and slapped her ass before skipping out of the room.
Sighing she laughed and shook her head. "Yeah, I do."
O
Caroline had said that she was going upstairs to get Rebekah less than fifteen minutes ago and she still wasn't back. Rachel had gone to check on Brooke and Haley and she had said she would go and get the others. Quinn did not think to knock before opening the door to her room, but after she did she wished that she had.
She just stared. Not necessarily disgusted by the sight itself, but disgusted with herself for not being disgusted.
Caroline was completely topless in the bed with Rebekah straddling her waist. She was only wearing a bra and her jeans.
Her best friend was the one to notice her staring and she blushed brightly as she did, letting out a squeak and covering up her exposed chest. "Oh god, oh god, oh god." She muttered to herself as she closed her eyes and prayed that Quinn would disappear. She could not believe that of all the people to walk in on the two of them it had been her.
Rebekah did not look as shy. In fact she merely turned and glared at the woman standing in the doorway, a scowl on her lips. "Do you just plan to stand there and stare at us all night?"
Quinn cast her eyes away from the two women and blushed. She had never expected that Caroline's new love interest was Rebekah. It upset her a lot. Now another one of her friends was dating a woman behind her back.
"What is going on here?"
Rebekah stood to her feet and smirked as she walked toward Quinn, still only wearing her bra. "We were playing chess." She replied sarcastically before rolling her eyes. "What does it look like we were doing?"
Caroline was still on the bed searching around for her shirt.
"I so did not need to see this." Quinn growled out, her fingers digging into her forehead as she stared back up at Rebekah. Making sure to only look her in the eyes. Caroline glanced over at her friend knowing that she was about to go crazy and explode like she always did.
"Care to know the remedy for that?" Rebekah asked spitefully, taking a step forward and glaring down into hazel eyes with cold blue.
Quinn glared back at her with a clenched jaw. She did not respond.
"Next time try being considerate and knock. I am not keen on being interrupted while making love." The words she chose were a slap in the face to the other woman and she knew it, she wanted her to know exactly what they had been doing.
"M-making love?" Quinn glared over at Caroline who had found her shirt and ran up behind Rebekah. "So you two are like dating now or something!? God! What is going on around here!?" Her voice cracked with frustration.
"Quinn, it's not what it looks like—I mean it is what it looks like, but—"
"—You are really going to justify our actions to her?" Rebekah asked shooting a glare at Caroline.
Caroline stared over at Rebekah and then over at Quinn a few times with an open mouth, she did not know what to do or say. No matter what someone was going to be upset with her.
Rebekah turned her attention back to Quinn and took another step toward her. "We were making love. Shagging. Having hot passionate sex." She spat at her. "And I honestly do not care if you have a problem with it."
"But, this isn't possible! This can't be happening. You aren't gay Caroline, you can't be! Your room is covered in half naked men, you've dated tons of guys, and you have been obsessed with Tyler for as long as I can remember."
"I'm not gay."
Rebekah scowled.
"Then what the hell is this?" Quinn practically shouted at her friend.
"I'm not gay, but I do have feelings for Rebekah." She offered both of them a small smile.
"That doesn't make any sense!" She laughed humorlessly and shook her head, her blonde hair swinging around. "Am I the only sane person left in this group!?"
Rebekah glared down into Quinn's eyes and spoke in a dangerously low accented voice; the seriousness of it was almost deadly. Neither of them had ever heard her speak in such a way. It was terrifying. "If it is sane to torment yourself by hiding your obvious feelings for Rachel by hurting her, because you are terrified that a God, who may or may not exist, gives two shits about your love life. Then yes, I suppose you are the sane one here."
Quinn stared into blue eyes and the words finally sunk in. She had not screamed them at her, they had not been louder than usual, they were simply logical. She was hurting someone because God cared who she had sex with. That was ridiculous. Why should he care? Why should anyone care? Everyone else was moving on and having fun because they were free to enjoy life and she was a prisoner to her own beliefs.
"You're pathetic, Quinn Fabray." Rebekah stated bitterly, still upset that the two of them had been interrupted. "And next time you should be polite and knock." She leant down and picked up her shirt off of the ground, pulling it over her head.
Rebekah smirked. "Now who is up for a movie night?"
