Chapter 17:
The Faberry cat
Opening her eyes after an invigorating night of sleep is absolutely wonderful. Opening her eyes to see the sight that is Quinn Fabray in all her morning splendor is absolutely extraordinary.
Rachel thinks that sometimes Quinn's beauty isn't fair. She is certain that she looks awfully messed up, especially because she skipped her night routine last night. But here is Quinn, looking beautiful as always, without trying.
As much as she wants to spend the morning admiring her girlfriend's beauty, she needs to get out of bed. She neglected her night ritual; she can't do it with her morning routines.
After all the steps are completed, Rachel leaves her bedroom and goes toward the living room. She takes her bag and fumbles inside, she finds her cell phone and soon she is making a call.
"Hello, Mr. Hernandez?"
"Hello, is it my lovely Rachel Berry?"
"Yes!" She answers lively.
"How are you?"
"Well, I'm fine, thank you. I'm here in New York actually."
"I'm not working today."
"Yeah, I know, but uh…"
"Tell me."
"I was wondering, if it's not too much to ask, of course, can you ask Jimmy to bring some fresh fruits to me?"
"Of course! He will be there in a minute, okay?"
"Thanks! And uh… some flowers too?"
"Okay, which one?"
"I think… gardenias… and thank you again."
Jimmy is the eldest son of Mr. Hernandez, he is a fresh produce distributor; he works at The Manhattan Fruit Exchange.
It takes less than half an hour for him to arrive with her request.
"Hi jimmy, I'm so sorry if I'm being inconvenient, it's a special occasion, I promise." Rachel welcomes him into the apartment.
"No Problem, really, and you know my father."
"Yes I do… but thanks anyway, please come in."
He takes the fruits and the gardenias to the kitchen.
"Well, I gotta go, uh…" He awkwardly starts rubbing the back of his neck.
"Everything okay?"
"Can you, I… can you sign this?" He takes a little girl's notebook from his bag and opens in a white page. "It's to my youngest daughter, she asked me… and… You know, Joana won that DVD boxes from your friend, now my baby wants something for her too. It would be-"
"Of course!" Rachel cuts him off. "Is the least I can do. I'm going to get a pen."
"Oh, I have one… here." He hands her the pen.
She takes the Little Mermaid's notebook.
"What's her name?"
"Lucy…"
"Really?" Rachel smiles widely and signs:
To the lovely Lucy,
"You got your own style, now let it come through. And remember no matter what, you got to be you…"- Sebastian.
xoxo
Rachel Berry
"She will love this, thank you."
"My pleasure, really… and here, please take it." She offers him the money.
"Okay…" He accepts it but a little uncomfortably. "Bye Ms. Berry."
"Rachel, Jimmy, Rachel."
He smiles.
"Okay, bye Ms. Rachel"
She shakes her head and walks him to the door.
Rachel intends to prepare a nice breakfast for her girlfriend. She may not be a good cook, but her fruit salad is quite excellent. By the time she finishes cutting the fruits, the coffee gets ready. She puts the fruits in a bowl and adds a little bit of honey. She places the toasts, the fruit salad and the two coffee cups neatly on the breakfast tray. She puts the flowers in the water, except for a single one gardenia that she places on the tray.
Back to her room she sits on her side of the bed and places the breakfast tray in front of her.
She strokes her girlfriend's leg watching her reactions. Rachel takes her hand under the sheet and rakes her nails on Quinn's marvelous leg. The blonde sighs, a smile spreading across her face as Rachel ducks her head staring at Quinn with moony eyes.
"Who is creepy now?" Quinn says as soon as she opens her eyes.
"I'm not creepy baby. I'm just admiring God's most perfect creation."
Quinn blushes a little as she sits up and rubs her eyes. She then leans against the headboard.
"Also, I prepared our breakfast."
"What can I say?" Quinn picks up the flower reverently and takes it to her nose smelling its scent. Rachel watches her every movement.
"You can say that I'm awesome and the best girlfriend you've ever had."
"You are… do you know why?"
"Why?" Rachel demands playfully.
"Cause you're Rachel Berry."
"Let's eat silly." She says as she smiles in love.
"After that, can I eat something else?" Quinn teases. "You kind of fell asleep on me last night…"
"Quinn! I was very tired." Rachel huffs childlike, which makes Quinn smile.
"Okay." She runs her fingers through her hair. "Should I be worried about you cooking for me?" She takes a spoonful of fruit salad.
"Hey! I'm not that bad." Quinn arches an eyebrow. "Okay, but I didn't cook, not exactly anyway; and you should know, my fruit salad is quite excellent, I'm a vegetarian and I used to be a vegan. So, fruits are my specialty."
"Yeah, you just wash them and eat."
"Exactly." Rachel giggles.
"Mmm, this is actually good."
"Told you." Rachel rolls her eyes and drinks the coffee.
Despite the fact that Rachel could give her rocks to eat and she would eat anyway, Quinn enjoys the food.
Not too long after they finish eating, Rachel starts leaving a trail of kisses on her girlfriend's leg. She goes up and up until she reaches the blonde's collarbone.
Impatient, Quinn grabs the short hair on Rachel's neck and pulls her to a demanding kiss and Rachel opens her mouth as an invitation to the blonde's tongue, what takes place quickly. The blonde releases her girlfriend's hair to cup her ass, bringing Rachel more into her lap as Rachel wraps her arms around the blonde's neck and bites on her bottom lip lightly. Squeezing her girlfriend's ass, Quinn presses their lips together again, sucking hard on the brunette's tongue.
She is on her way to Rachel's "prizewinners" when her phone starts ringing. She huffs and takes the phone. Rachel kisses her cheek and moves away, what makes Quinn whimper.
"I'll be right back."
The singer takes the tray and walks toward the kitchen.
After she finishes the call, Quinn leaves the bedroom as well; she is in her way to the kitchen when she hears the buzz on Rachel's phone. She doesn't want to spy, really, but Finn's name on the screen made it impossible not to.
From Finn: U r making impossible 2 me not to love U Rach, kidding, I lov it! xx
She manages to keep calm.
Just a message Quinn…
She nibbles on her bottom lip eagerly. Then she starts checking the previous texts.
From Finn: k, I love you
From Finn: That was stupid, but you got me…
From Finn: I'm leaving today, going 2 lima, but hey, I wanna see you, don't be a strange just because you're in love with Quinn fabray
From Finn: I thought about what U told me, yes I can do it, I lov U, so…
From Finn: hahahahaha
From Finn: she was ok, don't worry
From Finn: good I guess
From Finn: I saw Quinn today
Her heart is beating fast. It's wrong, but she needs to see Rachel's messages.
love you 2
She sees red and her jaw clenches.
haha, yes I got you
I told you before, I don' want to live without you in my life, you were my first friend Finn…
Of course, as friends, cause she loves me more!
She loves U, she is kind of tough sometimes, but she does
This actually makes Quinn melt. But the feeling soon goes away because of the next messages.
She didn't do anything bad, did she?
It's everything okay? How was it?
What the fuck! She was really concerned about me doing something bad to him?
"Is it my phone?" She hears Rachel's voice behind her.
"Yes…You have a new message." She says rudely.
"Were you checking my messages?"
"Mm, just the finchel's ones."
"What?" Rachel gets confused especially with the tone Quinn is using.
"I gotta go, you know I have a full agenda today." She hands the phone to Rachel. "Here, you might want to check Finn's new text." Rachel takes it.
"Are you upset?"
"Because you were texting your boyfriend?"
"What are you talking about!?" Rachel shouts annoyed.
"No, I'm not… really…and don't wait for me."
Quinn walks toward the bedroom as Rachel stood there for a moment; she is trying to digest everything and also thinking about some way to fix things.
She reads Finn's last text and sighs.
"Great."
The singer gets in her bedroom and finds the bathroom door closed. She sits on the bed.
After what seemed to be an eternity, Quinn exits the bathroom.
"It was a drum, he wanted it a long time ago, it coast me nothing as it is the brand I use, you know, for my personal instruments."
"Whatever, I gotta go."
"Quinn!"
"Rachel!"
"Oh my God! You're so… so…"
"What? I'm so what?"
"Look, you're upset because of the text; I get it, but let me explain-"
"No!" She cuts Rachel off abruptly. "I don't want to hear anything!" She shouts. "I'm leaving."
She starts walking and Rachel follows her. The singer grabs her arm and holds it tight.
"Let go of me!" Quinn demands.
"What is going on with you? He was just texting to thank me."
The actress goes toward the coffee table and takes Rachel's cell phone.
"Thought about what you told me, yes I can do it; I love you, so…"
Rachel sighs.
"Quinn…"
"Can we not talk about it now? I feel like I'm going to say something stupid." Rachel can see her eyes watering. "I love you okay? I…"
She can't finish her sentence because Rachel gets close and grabs Quinn's waist, pressing their lips together.
When they finally pull away, Quinn takes a deep breath and leaves her.
"Fuck! I'm in love with the most stubborn woman alive!" Rachel shouts.
"You know, I came here to hear from you every detail about the faberry tale." Rachel smiles at the mention of that name. "Quinn is so frustrating, and you're telling me you guys just had you first fight? Tell me everything."
"Kurt!"
"What? Come on, you are willing to tell me."
"Quinn saw Finn's texts"
"Rachel! Are you sexting Finn?"
The singer draws her lips into her mouth, trying to keep calm.
"I'm not even answering this."
"Okay, that's a no, what is the problem then?"
Rachel gives him her cell phone. And Kurt reads the texts.
"Well, honey, it's not a big deal, for me, but, you know, I suppose that it's different for her."
"I know that, and I wanted to make her see that those texts are just between friends."
"And?"
"She left!" Rachel throws her hands in the air. "You know her…"
"She will listen, she loves you okay?"
"Okay…"
"So, tell me again why I can't take you to dinner?"
"I don't want to call attention, okay? I'm being discreet."
"Rachel Berry! Are you hiding your relationship?"
"I'm not! I said I'm being discreet."
Kurt frowns at her.
"Kurt! What you expect me to do? I've been always discreet regarding my relationships okay?"
"Yeah, especially when said relationship is with a girl." He points out.
"I was discreet when Finn and I were together! He is a guy!"
"And David? The Broadway couple. "
"That was because of him. Besides, that kind of attention was the main reason why I ended that relationship."
"Oh, I thought it was because he was the turbocharged version of Jesse."
"Okay, I heard enough from you and Santana that day okay?" she sighs. "Oh my God!"
"What?"
"She was talking about Quinn, wasn't she?"
Flashback:
"It's about damn time Rachel, I honest couldn't bear him anymore!"
"I hate to tell you this divalicious, but I'm with Santana."
"He wasn't that bad." Rachel pouts.
"Are you kidding me? Jesse 2.0?" Kurt teases.
"Yeah, at least I'm not covered with eggs… ugh! I swear, I'm done with these morons! From now on, Rachel Berry will only commit to a relationship if she is one hundred percent sure!"
"Do you know what you have to do? Stop looking for you leading man, you need a person who loves and completes you, stop looking for the singing prince charming. You were so obsessed with this ideal that you couldn't see what was right in front of this big nose of yours."
"What was right in front of me?"
"Santana is saying Rachel." Kurt narrows his eyes at the Latina. "Is that you were obsessed with the idea of finding that perfect man who would sing duets with you, you would marry Blaine if he wasn't gay!"
"Are you kidding me? She would marry you!" Santana teases.
"That's not true…" she pouts again.
"Come on, Rachel, you were more excited about the idea of singing with him and having little singers than with the kiss…"
"Berry, you're looking at the wrong direction… trust me…"
Now:
"Yes she was."
"Was I that blind?"
"Honey, Quinn had hidden her feelings so well, that she actually hid it from herself… Rach, I remembered something Finn told me…" He looks at the gardenias on the coffee table. "Why did you choose a gardenia for Quinn's corsage?"
Rachel follows his eyes focus.
"He asked me for advice and I love gardenias." She shrugs.
"Lilies, you love lilies." He points out.
"Lilies are my favorites but I do love gardenias, they are beautiful, Quinn is beautiful so."
"They mean secret love."
"We're not talking about that."
"Rachel…"
"Kurt!"
"Okay… What about a glass of wine? We need to gossip." He conceals.
After two hours of talking, drinking wine and eating dinner, Kurt announces that he has to leave her.
"No!"
"I have to…"
"I want you to stay…"
She pouts.
"I threw my hands in the air and said show me something… he said, if you dare come a little closer… Round and around and around and around we go… Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know… Not really sure how to feel about it… Something in the way you move… Makes me feel like I can't live without you… And it takes me all the way… I want you to stay"
He giggles and sings too:
"It's not much of a life you're living… It's not just something you take, it's given… Round and around and around and around we go… Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know… Not really sure how to feel about it… Something in the way you move… Makes me feel like I can't live without you… And it takes me all the way… And I want you to stay"
They sing together:
Ohhh the reason I hold on
Ohhh cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
Cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
And it takes me all the way
.
I want you to stay, stay
I want you to stay, ohhh
They start laughing.
"Cheers to that!" Rachel shouts animatedly.
"Cheers!"
In this moment, the intercom buzz and Rachel goes to answer.
"Who? Uh… okay, you can let her in."
Rachel goes back to Kurt.
"I really have to go honey."
"Okay, give me a hug." She demands.
"Who is your guest?"
Rachel nibbles her thumb's nail.
"Rachel?" Kurt tries again.
The doorbell rings and Kurt goes toward the doorway to open it as he is curious.
"Oh hello!" He smiles cynically and then he turns to Rachel. "I guess this is my cue to leave." He turns to the gust again. "hi Veronica it's been awhile." he hugs her.
"Hi, Yeah, how are you?"
"I'm fine. It's too bad I can't stay. Mm, honey, don't forget you messed up with someone… and this…" She points subtly to Veronica. "Won't help…"
"Yes I know Kurt… bye…" Rachel says annoyed.
"Bye divalicious!"
He leaves them.
"Am I missing something?" Veronica asks smiling amused.
"Not really… we've been drinking."
"So, can I come in?"
"Sorry, come in."
Rachel allows her inside.
"How did you know I was here?"
"Hm?"
Veronica couldn't pay attention on Rachel's words; not when Rachel is wearing the shortest of all the shorts, showing her toned and endless legs.
"Ronnie?" Rachel rolls her eyes.
"What?"
"How did you know I was here?"
"I have my sources, so, tired of your fake boyfriend? You do that a lot uh?"
Rachel laughs and sits.
"Sit." She demands.
"Okay…"
Veronica sits a little too close in fact she is about to kiss the singer, but Rachel stops her.
"We need to talk."
"Sure…"
Veronica takes off her jeans jacket and Rachel does her best to keep her eyes away from the blonde's chest, which is a very difficult task since her sweetheart neckline dress is doing a very good job at showing her c cup breasts.
"I'm dating someone."
"uh…" The blonde frowns. "Is it…?"
"Finn? No… it's Quinn."
Veronica bursts out in laugh as she thinks Rachel is joking, the brunette only takes her glass and fills it with wine, sipping on it nonchalantly.
"Are you done?" She question the blonde.
"You and Quinn? You're kidding right?"
Rachel shakes her head in negative.
"Do you want some wine?"
"You're serious?" Veronica asks, surprised as Rachel nods. "Yeah, I might want some wine."
"I'll take a glass."
She stands up and goes to the kitchen, quickly returning with a glass.
"She finally had the guts to take you." Ronnie states.
"Kind of." Rachel sighs.
"Oh fuck. I guess this ruins my incredible plan, you know, to win Rachel Berry's heart."
"Are you sure it was Rachel Berry's heart and not something else?" Rachel fills the other woman's glass.
"Hey! Says the lady who has never been in a serious relationship with a girl."
Rachel frowns at her.
"Well, until now."
"We still can be friends…" Rachel informs.
"I figured you'd say that." Ronnie drinks her wine.
"So, can't we?"
"Sure… and that bitch too, although, she really doesn't deserve my friendship."
Rachel giggles.
"So, can I win a goodbye fuck?"
"Veronica!" Rachel reprimands though she is smiling.
"Anyway, we both know it wouldn't be a good bye."
"Stop it!" The singer hits the blonde's shoulder.
"Come on! It's Quinn Fabray we're talking about. She will screw up."
"She won't." Rachel says firmly.
"Okay, listen." She places her hand on Rachel's thigh. "I really care about you, you were never just… you know…"
"I know Ronnie, and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm completely in love with her, I really would give us a try."
Maybe it was the wine or maybe it was the fact that she was really into the talk but Rachel doesn't hear Quinn's arrival.
"That's really great." Quinn looks at the glasses then she looks at Veronica's hand that is currently on Rachel's thigh. "Really Rachel?"
"Quinn, she…"
"Spare me." Quinn turns around.
"Quinn!"
Rachel stands up very quickly despite being a little tipsy. She holds Quinn's arms.
"Leave me alone!"
"Oh my God! Quinn can you just please."
The actress releases herself and starts walking away.
"Where are you going?"
"Away, anywhere."
"Really bitch? Are you leaving her here with me? That's just too easy." Veronica teases.
"I'm going to fucking kill you!" Quinn shouts and goes toward the other woman.
"Stop!" Rachel grabs her waist and says to veronica. "Can you please go now?"
"Alright, I'm leaving… just because you're asking."
The actress is breathing slowly, she is doing her best to keep calm. Even though she is really mad at Rachel, the brunette's touch still soothes her.
"Quinn, always a pleasure. Mm, you need to take care of your rage issues." She says as she puts on her jacket.
"Ronnie!"
"Leaving… I suppose there will be no kiss hm?"
Quinn releases a laugh.
"I forgot how funny you are! That's not gonna happen ever again!"
"We'll see…" Ronnie teases again.
"Ronnie, stop it…"
"Sorry, I'm leaving… bye Quinn."
Still upset, Quinn huffs and walks toward the bedroom as Rachel takes Veronica to the door.
When she gets into her bedroom she is relieved to see that at least the bathroom's door is open. When she enters she sees that Quinn is preparing her bath.
"I'm tired and I need a bath…" Quinn starts undressing.
"Sure, can I help you?" Rachel asks trying to focus on hazel eyes instead in that amazing body in front of her.
"No."
"We were just talking." Rachel tries out.
"Her hands were on your thigh." Quinn says sarcastically and gets inside the bath.
"Yeah, I know that seeing from your perspective that scene might have seemed somewhat suspicious and inappropriate for a person who is committed, in fact if I was in your place, I would have suspected as well, but I can assure you that nothing happened, nor would happen even if you had not appeared. Actually, I was just explaining to her that you and I are currently dating, and very much in love, she was surprised but-"
"Rachel you're rambling" Quinn cuts her off. "And you don't do that anymore, except when you are nervous, why are you nervous?"
Rachel nibbles on her bottom lip, trying not to look at her girlfriend's naked body.
"You still make me nervous, I guess." She mumbles.
Okay she is mad, but she always thought Rachel's rambling very cute.
"Do I?" She teases with her husky voice.
Rachel nods.
"Can we please talk?"
"What are we doing?" Quinn questions teasingly as Rachel huffs. "Okay, after I finish here…" She conceals.
"Quinn…" Rachel whines.
"Rachel!" She says resolute.
"Fine! I hate when you do that! It reminds me… never mind." She leaves the bathroom.
She does her best to not seem desperate, after all she did nothing wrong! She tries to watch TV, to listen some music. It doesn't work. Soon she is on the bed leaning against the headboard, biting her nails.
Right now she is so concentrated on her index finger nail that she doesn't notice that Quinn exited the bathroom.
"It reminds you of the way I used to treat you."
Quinn says in a serious tone as they lock their gazes onto each other.
"Yes… look, she came here, I didn't invite her and the wine, Kurt was here, we were drinking. It wasn't for her." Rachel explains eagerly.
Quinn nods calmly.
"It's okay. I guess I was just jealous. I have this exhaustive day and I kept thinking about."
"What?"
She sighs and sits on the edge of the bed.
"When Finn and I, when we were dating, you just needed to snap your fingers and he'd run into you."
Rachel looks at her. She is torn, Rachel can see it, and now she knows it's not just because of the texts.
"Baby…"
"When it was about the two of you I always was left over."
"We are friends, please believe me."
"I do, but please don't hide anything for me."
"I wasn't hiding." Rachel gets close to her.
"I know… I know; but I will need you to constantly remind me that. I'm a little insecure." She licks her lips as tears stream down her face. "God! I was insecure when I dated him and I never loved him."
"Please don't cry baby." The singer tucks blonde hair behind Quinn's ear tenderly.
"I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have left you like that. I don't know how to deal with my emotions, and you know, historically, around you, well let's just say things get worse."
Rachel smiles at her girlfriend.
"Is that because you like me?" she teases.
"No, it's because I'm crazy about you; I love you with all my heart Rachel."
"I love you too."
They stare at each other intensely for awhile. Then they lean slowly forward, until their lips touch each other. Quinn puts her hand on her girlfriend's neck caressing Rachel's skin with the pad of her thumb as Rachel slides her hand inside Quinn's robe and cups the blonde breast, making the blonde moan in their kiss when she pinches it. The blonde tightens her grip on Rachel's neck as they kiss more passionately, with mouths wide open, licking each other's tongue.
Quinn pulls away to remove Rachel's shirt and the brunette raises her arms up in the air so Quinn can take it off of her. The blonde takes the bra off to, tossing it away carelessly, pushing greedily Rachel's back onto the mattress, kissing all of her girlfriend's skin. Lips, jaw, neck, collarbone, she takes her time worshiping every inch of Rachel's breasts.
"Oh, oh baby…" Rachel pants.
They kiss again and Rachel unties Quinn's robe, taking it off. She moans at the sight of her girlfriend's naked body.
Licking all the way to Rachel's belly, Quinn goes down and takes off Rachel's short, fully aware of how short that short is, and how sexy those legs are. She moans when she sees how wet her girlfriend is, removing the brunette's panties in one motion which makes Rachel moan.
She gets back to Rachel's lips again and they kiss desperately.
"You're mine…"
She slides her fingers on Rachel's clit, rubbing it slowly.
"Yesss…" Rachel moans.
She then slips two fingers inside her girlfriend's wet core.
"Mine…" She bites Rachel's bottom lip.
"Yes baby, I'm yours… take me…"
She thrusts her fingers deep inside, searching for Rachel's sweet spot, her thumb rubbing the brunette's clit and her lips licking and sucking her girlfriend's breasts. She doesn't know when she started, but she is now rocking her hips against Rachel's thigh. She releases a loud moan when Rachel lifts her leg to increase her girlfriend's pleasure.
"Oh fuck…" Quinn screams and thrusts her fingers harder and deeper.
"Mm, oh, oh, oh baby… oh yeah! I'm…" Moaning and panting, Rachel bursts into an intense orgasm. "Quinn!"
"You're so fucking beautiful… I love you, oh fuck, oh yeah Rach!" Quinn goes over the edge as well.
They start kissing again, a slow but passionate kiss.
"I love make up sex… actually I love sex with you…" Rachel says after they stop kissing.
"I'm not done with you, you know that right?" Quinn teases.
"You know I love you, no matter what, but I love your smile too much to see you sad… give me a smile."
"What?" Quinn arches an eyebrow.
"Come on." Rachel pleads playfully.
"No…" Quinn teases.
"Please…"
"No…"
"What if I do this?" She starts tickling Quinn. But it doesn't work.
"I don't think so…"
Rachel then straddles her girlfriend and keeps the tickling.
"You're not making me smile; you're turning me on."
The singer huffs, crosses her arms over her chest and pouts.
Not fair… how can I resist this?
Quinn thinks as she can't help but smile.
"This one… it makes you even more beautiful." Rachel beams.
Quinn sits up to press their lips together.
"Isn't it amazing that moments ago we were fucking and now we're acting like children?" Rachel inquires happily.
"Isn't it amazing that I'm going to fuck you again right now?"
"Not if I fuck you first…"
Quinn feels her wetness oozing from her just because of Rachel's husky sex voice.
This is new.
"I'm committed to this project; it was a break, just that…" She raises her hands. "Have I ever given you reasons to doubt my professionalism?"
A few days later and they got back to L.A.
"No, I understand, don't worry… I just needed to check." Brian explains.
"Okay." Rachel gives him a half smile.
"Can I say something?" He asks.
"Sure."
"Don't come out…"
"What?" Rachel gets confused.
"You and Quinn, you know, don't turn it public…"
"Excuse me?" Rachel says roughly.
"I know, it's different now than it was five years ago for example, but we never know…"
"You're saying what I think you're saying?"
"Think about her career." He knows Rachel would listen more carefully if Quinn's well being is the subject.
"What about it?"
"You don't want people putting a label on her, do you?"
"No, of course not…"
"She has a great future as an actress. You don't want to ruin that." He arches an eyebrow. "Look, I'm your producer, I want-"
"You're right, you're my producer." She cuts him off. "I have my publicist to take care about these things, so let's focus on my music." She says finishing the talk.
But the truth is that he just expressed everything that was going through her mind lately. She never thought of herself as a coward, so, what exactly does she fear? Once again she lets go and forgets about it.
She will not be able to avoid this issue for a long time though.
Rachel gets home and for her surprise, her friends are there. It is nice, very nice to have them there, but something is wrong, she can feel it.
"Hey baby." Quinn welcomes her with a kiss.
"Hi…" She smiles. "Hi B, Hi Satan. What are you guys doing here?"
"Calm down hobbit, it will be quick and soon your lady will be able to fuck you."
"Actually, I can't … anyway."
"Gross." Santana grimaces.
"You're a girl too Satana, you know that right?"
"I take pills." Santana explains casually.
"You know that that is not really health, our body needs-"
"Whatever Berry…" Santana cuts her off playfully.
"I always got confused with the pills anyway." Brittany shrugs.
"Okay, can we just focus?" Quinn turns to Santana. "Okay?"
"You might want to check your twitter Rach…" Santana informs.
"Why?"
"Baby, no matter what, I'm here… okay?"
"What happened? You guys are freaking me out…" Rachel panics.
"It's my fault Rachel… I…" Brittany bites down on her bottom lip sadly.
"What B?"
"Santana and I were feeding your cat and-"
"Is she dead!?"
"No… she is fine… I would never let her die."
"Oh, okay…" Rachel gets calm again.
"But… I took a picture and…"
"What?"
"I kind of posted on twitter; I called her the faberry cat…"
"You what!?" Rachel shouts.
"Rach…" Quinn tries to calm her down.
"Well, it's not a big deal… I suppose…" She shrugs.
"More and less…" Quinn says worried.
"The twitter kind of went crazy…" Santana adds.
"That's why he said that…" Rachel frowns as she gets thoughtful.
"Who said what?" Quinn questions her.
"Brian, he told me to not turn us, our relationship, public…"
"He said what?!" Santana shouts this time.
"Did he?" Quinn asks again.
Rachel nods.
"He can't be serious, I'm going all-"
"I actually agree with him, I don't wanna go public." Rachel cuts the Latina off. "You have your career Quinn; I don't want to jeopardize that."
"I don't care…"
"I care, you going to deny it, I'm going to deny it… that's it, end of the story…"
"Rach,"
"That's the end of the story…" Rachel says resolute.
"No it's not… I'm not gonna hide us." Quinn informs upset.
"It's not hiding, we will be discreet, as I said, and you're going to deny the rumors!"
"So what, are you going to run to Finn again?"
Rachel eyes pop open, shocked; she stares at her girlfriend in disbelief and walks away.
And it was the most difficult storm out of her life.
"I'm leaving with Santana and Brittany, this way nobody will suspect about our dirty little secret!" Quinn shouts at Rachel's back.
"You do whatever you want…"
Rachel keeps walking because if she stops she will fall.
"I'm so sorry Quinn. It's all my fault." Brittany says sadly.
"No, B it's not… let's go."
"Are you sure?" Santana asks concerned.
"Let's go." Quinn says again.
Meanwhile…
When Rachel gets in her bedroom she collapses on her bed.
She doesn't know!
Then tears start streaming down her face.
She is not a Berry…
And Rachel cries herself to sleep.
