CHAPTER ELEVEN
Quinn and Marley lay on the couch with a discarded empty pizza box in front of them and two used wine glasses and an empty bottled of wine. The two had spent the whole night just gossiping and talking with one another; successfully taking Quinn's mind off Rachel.
Quinn woke up when there was a forceful knock on her door for several minutes. Quinn wondered who could possibly be at her door at… One in the morning.
Quinn gracefully tried to get up without waking Marley who was peacefully sleeping against her shoulder. Quinn finally got off the couch and made her way towards the door, "Just a minute!"
Quinn was met with her distraught-looking girlfriend showing a general relief that Quinn answered.
"Oh thank God!" Rachel threw herself in Quinn's arms and kissed her like she hadn't seen her in years.
"Whoa, Rachel, not that I don't enjoy that greeting, but what was that for?" Quinn asked, still recovering from the kiss.
"Quinn, while I was out with Sam I couldn't stop thinking about you the entire night. I texted you like five times throughout so I could at least talk to you, but you never responded.
"Oh Rach, I'm sorry, it's just that Marley came over for some pizza and we stayed in the living room and my phone was in my bedroom."
"It's okay Quinn, I'm just glad I'm with you right now."
"Me too," Quinn and Rachel stood in the doorway just looking into each other's eyes. Their sweet moment was broken when Quinn heard Marley moaning and she woke up after napping on the couch.
"Is Marley still here or something?" Rachel asked after hearing the noises.
"Uh, yeah. I totally forgot. We both fell asleep on the couch and your knocking woke me up."
"Oh." Rachel said with a slight pout.
"Just go to my room while I say bye to Marley, okay?"
Rachel just nodded her head and gave Quinn a peck on the mouth.
As Rachel made her way to Quinn's room, Quinn went back into the living room with Marley.
"Oh gosh, Quinn, I'm so, so sorry for just crashing here like that." Marley said, apologizing profusely.
"It's okay, Mar. It's just Rachel just came here and she's waiting on me in my room, if you catch y drift and…" Quinn trailed off.
"Oh! No, no I totally understand. You need your—uh—your time and I'm just—I'm just gonna go now. Thanks for the Pizza, I had fun." Marley said, quickly grabbing her purse and her shoes, feeling like she was imposing on the couple.
"Marley it's okay. I'm sorry you couldn't stay we could've had like a slumber party," Quinn said with a laugh, following Marley to the door.
"Next time," Marley threw Quinn as smile, "Bye Q." Marley felt daring and sprung forward and gave Quinn a hug accompanied by quick peck on the cheek.
"Bye Marley." Quinn was a little surprised by the kiss, but just brushed it off as a friendly exchange.
Little did either of them know, Rachel saw the whole exchange.
Quinn was in her bra and panties lying in bed with her head against the headboard while Rachel lied on her chest in the same apparel with a dazed smile on her face. Rachel stroked Quinn's stomach and Quinn ran her fingers through the girl's brunette locks.
"Uh, I don't want to leave," Rachel said mumbled.
"Then don't."
"I don't have a choice. Ever since that night I spent at your house, Lia was so distraught the next morning that I wasn't there that she made me promise to always be home when she woke up."
"That was not smart of you to make such a promise."
"I know that now," Rachel said with a laugh.
"Just stay with me a little while longer," Quinn hugged Rachel closer to her.
"Just a little while." Rachel promised.
"So, how was your date?" Quinn asked in a dry tone.
"Quinn, you know you don't really want to hear about that. And why would you ask that after you and I almost had sex for the first time and I'm lying here with you, in your arms?" Rachel said, kind of aggravated Quinn was being this way.
"Well, I just wanted to know if he behaved himself and if your mission of convincing the public you're together was accomplished." Quinn defended.
"Yes… to both," Rachel changed her position so she was at Quinn's level against the headboard in the bed. "Now I have a question for you," Rachel said gaining eye contact with Quinn.
"Go for it."
"Are you aware that Marley is in love with you or are you just that oblivious?"
"What? No way, Marley is not in love with me." Quinn said looking at Rachel like she was crazy while shaking her head.
"Quinn, anyone with eyes can see it. The way she looks at you is enough evidence as it is."
"Mar and I are just really good friends and there's nothing more to it."
"Then why did she kiss you?" Rachel accused.
"Really Rach, you were spying? She kissed me on the freaking cheek! And if you must know, Marley is that affectionate with everyone, okay? She's an affectionate person."
"Quinn, she does not do that with Mercedes, okay? She really has feelings for you and if you just keep letting her think that things like kissing you on the cheek is okay, then she'll keep thinking she has a chance."
"Rachel, I really don't feel like fighting with you right now, okay? If it'll make you feel better, I'll talk to her okay?"
"That's all I ask, thank you." Rachel leaned forward to kiss Quinn and immediately Quinn responded. Quinn deepened the kiss forcing her tongue into Rachel's mouth, which Rachel happily accepted. Quinn's loud moan brought Rachel back to reality and Rachel pulled out of the kiss.
"I need to go Quinn," Rachel tried, but Quinn just moved to Rachel's neck and started rubbing the top of Rachel's thighs.
"Little longer," Quinn begged as she continued to gently nip Rachel's neck.
Rachel almost gave in but grabbed the girl's hands and kissed her gently, "I have to go." Rachel got out of Quinn's bed and started putting her clothes back on.
"Okay, but I don't like it." Quinn got out of her bed as well and put on a robe so she could walk Rachel to the door.
Rachel and Quinn got to the door and Quinn did not want her girlfriend to leave.
"Call me later and let me know you made it home safely," Quinn said grabbing Rachel's hips and looking into her beautiful brown eyes.
"Of course," Rachel leaned forward and kissed Quinn, "I love you."
"I love you too, baby." Quinn kissed Rachel again and then finally let her go.
Rachel POV:
Rachel made it home at about four in the morning, but luckily it was a Saturday so she could sleep all day. Rachel was trying to sneak in, but she should've known better.
"Well, well, well, look what el gato dragged in," Santana said with a smirk from the couch.
"Please, San, I'm not in the mood for your jokes."
"I can't believe you stayed out all night with trouty mouth."
"For your information, I went to Quinn's house after my outing with Sam."
"Oh, and how did your outing with Sam go?" Santana asked genuinely curious at her best friend's outing.
"It was so weird. Before the date his publicist gave is a play-by-play at how the date should go and that was weird in itself. But when we got out of the limo and the actual date started, Sam was acting like this was legit. Like he paid, he pulled out my chair, knew what my favorite wine was, it was just crazy."
"Whoa, well how was the PDA part?"
"Horrid. He kept touching my leg but the cameras couldn't see under the table. And kissing him was just…Ugh. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone… not even you." Rachel said cringing.
"Well what do you expect? It's like making out with a fish. Did he try to use tongue?"
"Oh he tried, but I just discreetly stepped on his foot and bit his tongue really hard. When we got back in the limo later he kept apologizing and saying how his manager and publicist made him be creep. I kind of believe him for some weird reason."
"Yeah, I mean, he is a good guy and you did already chat with him about guidelines. I guess he cares more about satisfying his people instead of you."
"Yeah, I guess. I think I'm finally going to get some sleep."
"Okay, well, Mags is in your bed because you weren't here to tell her goodnight and she got really upset. I tried singing to her and everything, so I just suggested she sleep in your bed, but she said I'd have to sleep with her. So, we slept in your bed and she's still there."
"Okay, well, I'll just shower and then get into bed with her."
"Okay, Good morning."
"Good night? Morning?" Rachel said walking away confused.
By the time Rachel made it into bed it was six and she knew her daughter would probably wake up within the next three hours. Rachel cuddled up behind her daughter and closed her eyes so she could go to sleep.
Rachel felt like she was on a rocking boat and to be completely honest, was starting to get a little seasick. Rachel opened one eye and was met with her daughter smiling in her face while still rocking her.
"Hi mommy," Magnolia whispered.
'Well, at least she was whispering,' Rachel thought. "Good morning beautiful. Why are you shaking mommy?" Rachel said sweetly and sleepily.
"Because it's twelve and I want to have a tea party with you. And because I haven't seen you since last night!" Lia whisper-yelled.
"Okay, Okay, just give me a few more minutes," Rachel said closing her eyes again. Rachel couldn't fall back asleep because she felt like someone was watching her. She opened her eyes and her daughter was in front of her, just staring.
Rachel was just about to get up, when she heard the voice of angel, her saving grace, "Magnolia!"
The voice was recognized as Quinn's. As much as Rachel wanted to greet her girlfriend and thank her for getting Magnolia out of her face, literally, Rachel decided to get some more sleep.
An hour later, Rachel walked downstairs to find Quinn in a princess crown, having tea with her daughter in her princess dress and crown.
"Hi mommy! You wanna join our tea party?"
"I would love to." Rachel leaned down and kissed Magnolia and then walked over to Quinn and gave her a kiss a well. Rachel sat down in between Lia and Quinn at the tea party and Rachel didn't realize how hungry she was until she tried to take a big bite into a plastic stone. The diva's antics had everyone at the small table giggling.
"Santana said she'd bring us tray of sandwiches for us to really eat." Quinn informed Rachel, still laughing at her girlfriend.
"Good!" Rachel said relieved.
Maybe they're done now, and we need more tea," Magnolia grabbed a tiny hand-bell next to her and raised it to give it a little shake, "Oh kurtis!" Magnolia shouted not so gracefully.
Rachel and Quinn laughed when Kurt walked out of the kitchen in a black and white butler's suit, carrying a tray with tea and sandwiches on them.
"Here you go m'lady," Kurt said placing the tray on the table.
Magnolia leaned over to give Kurt a kiss on the cheek and happily took a sandwich off the tray.
"This is too great, if San walks out in a maid outfit, I might lose it," Rachel said laughing at Kurt still.
"Oh Santana," Quinn called with a malicious smile.
Santana walked out in a maid's outfit, and not the sexy kind, with a pout on her face.
"This is too great!" Rachel began to laugh harder and everyone else started to join in.
