The Next Morning.
You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war.
You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door.
You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we stopped keeping score.
You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.
Kurt Hummel shot out of his sleep hearing the loud music and rubbed his eyes trying to figure out where he was. He looked around and saw a few pictures a two girls smiling and one of with Rachel and Simone with goofy faces. He looked down at the bed and saw that he slept on girly sheets.
Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.
He got out of the bed realizing that he was no longer at the Hudson-Hummel house anymore. No he was at his new Bushwick loft apartment with his best friend Rachel Berry and other roommate Simone Edwards.
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
The conversation he had with Simone really got him thinking. He needed to know how Rachel was feeling about their roommate.
Try to tell you "no" but my body keeps on telling you "yes".
Try to tell you "stop", but your lipstick got me so out of breath.
I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself.
And I'll be waking up, feeling satisfied but guilty as hell.
Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you.
(Making me love you)
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
(I let it all go)
Got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo.
(Like a tattoo, yeah)
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, crawling back to you.
He made his way to the kitchen wanting the music to stop. He tried not to laugh seeing Simone and Rachel both dancing to the music.
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
(Yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night
(Oh)
And I know I said it a million times
(Yeah)
But I'll only stay with you one more night
(Yeah)
Both girls saw him and pulled him and danced with him. He tried to stop them but he finally gave in and danced.
Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Yeah, baby, give me one more night (whoa, yeah)
Yeah, baby, give me one more night (oh, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, but baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you.
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go.
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Simone and Rachel lip sync to the song dancing around Kurt having fun.
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
That I'll only stay with you one more night
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
And I know I said it a million times
(Oh, I said it a million times)
But I'll only stay with you one more night
(Yeah, baby give me one more night)
Kurt walked over to the radio watching the girls dance some more as the song finishes.
So I cross my heart and I hope to die (yeah, yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)
And I know I said it a million times (yeah, yeah)
But I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)
I don't know, whatever.
He turned it off as the girls stop dancing and looked at him with smiles on her faces.
"Good morning Kurt." Both girls spoke while laughing.
"Um good morning. Do you two always play loud music in the morning?" Simone frowns.
"I'm sorry did the music wake you?" He nodded while rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Sorry Kurt I didn't mean to wake up you enjoying your sleep. I would hate to be the kind of roommate that disturbs your sleeping patters. I promise not have the music so loud next time. Well I have a early class. See you both later. Enjoy your day off Rach." Simone kisses her cheek then waved at Kurt before grabbing her bag and left.
"So are you hungry Kurt?" Rachel asked Kurt yawned.
"I'll make it myself Rach. Don't you have to get ready for class? aren't you going to be late?" Rachel shook her head.
"No classes today thank goodness I'm so happy. I'm spending the whole day with you so you can finally see New York for a what a great place it is. We need to get stuff for your side of our apartment then we can get some lunch." He nodded surprised that she was actually going to spend the whole day with him.
"Are you sure your not skipping?" Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Honestly Kurt I no classes. It's not like high school anymore. We don't have classes everyday or all day for that matter." Kurt frowns.
"Sorry I sometimes forget that we graduated McKinley High months ago." Rachel walked over to him and hugged him.
"It's okay Kurt. It takes time to get use to. So Simone made me Vegan Cinnamon Rolls. There's more on the counter if you want some." She tells him.
"We do have non vegan breakfast choices. Feel free to do as you please." She said as she went back to her coffee
Kurt walked over to counter and saw the very inviting vegan cinnamon roll and took one taking a bite of it.
"Wow these are really good." He said while chewing. She made a disgusted look watching her best friend.
"That's gross Kurt. Talk to me after your done chewing. Also I know there good since our roommate made them for me. so don't eat too many of them while I'm taking my shower." He just waved her off enjoying his breakfast.
She left the kitchen area and walked into her space picking out what she wants to wear for the day and grabbed her towel and walked into the bathroom locking the door behind her.
Kurt put another one a plate and sits down at the table. Some of Rachel's vegan stuff was pretty good. He thought.
"Rachel can I ask you a very serious and personal question?" Rachel looked at him saying sure as they shopped.
"Do you have some type of romantic feelings for Simone? I mean I see the way you two are and I was just wonder-" He just gets cut off by Rachel speaking.
"Kurt If I knew I would tell you but I really don't want to talk about feelings. I'm not putting any labels on my sexuality. Besides I don't know if she even has feelings for me."
He was about to speak but Rachel keeps going.
"Also I still don't know what's going on with me and Finn. It's been months since I've heard from him. I just need focus on school right now Kurt. Can we drop it please?"
"Yes I'm sorry for asking. I just want you to be happy with whoever your with. We'll always be like family. She nodded clearing her throat really glad this conversation is being dropped.
"So what do you think about this bed set?" Kurt asked her as they looked around. Rachel shook her head no and they kept looking.
A Week Later.
Rachel walked into her's, Kurt's and Simone's apartment sighing. She just got kicked out of dance class for calling Miss July out for blowing her chances of being on Broadway. She thought she did great with her dance. She can be sexy but Cassandra July thought otherwise.
Simone looked up from her paper and saw the annoyed look on Rachel's face.
"Something happen babe? Wait why are you home this early?" Simone asked from the kitchen table. Kurt was at his interview for
"I got kicked out for calling Miss July out since I learned about her first broadway show mishap. She said I wasn't good when it came to my dancing or my singing. She said Brody was great and I just snapped. I guess It cost me my chances of staying at NYADA now." Simone frowns.
"You did that Brittany Spears performance with Brody Weston?" She nodded wondering what the big deal was. Brody seemed nice.
"Don't even think about falling for a guy like him. He's not right for you. Promise me you won't go there. Promise me?" Rachel stared at her surprised.
"Okay I promise not to go there Simone. Now what am I suppose to do about dance class?" Rachel asked while put her bag down and got a water.
"Well tell me what you said and we'll figure out what to do next." Rachel sits down and tells her everything.
"Oh babe you really went there huh?" Rachel nodded sighing feeling stupid.
"Cassie July is a hard woman to crack. She'll fight back hard. Trust me there have been times that I've snapped but I learned to control my ill feelings towards her.
Rachel sighs. She really doesn't know how she's going deal with a whole four years with Miss July hating her.
"Hey no sad faces. Let's go to Central park and get some ice cream. Vegan of course." Rachel looked a ther and smiled.
Simone leans over pushing a strain of Rachel's hair behind her ears staring into her eyes. Rachel just stared into her eyes then cleared her throat.
"So are you ready to go?" Simone pulled away nodding and they left the apartment living Kurt a note telling him where they were going to be.
Simone watched the people as her and Rachel walked around the park in enjoying their ice cream. She stared at Rachel thinking she's so pretty.
She heard laughing and looked at Rachel.
"What's so funny?" Rachel moved close to her and pointed to her nose. She took her finger and wiped the ice cream off her nose before putting it Simone's mouth.
"Oh." Simone laughed and sucked it off Rachel's finger. Both girls never took their eyes off each other.
"Mmm taste even better licking it off your finger." Rachel blushed laughing and went back to eating her ice cream.
"Hey I heard that this park in two days is playing old movies. I think, You, me and Kurt should go see it that night." Rachel's brightly smiles.
"That sounds like fun. I can't wait to tell Kurt." They smiled at the happy old couple as they held hands.
"Don't you ever wish you had a love like that?" Simone asked as they walked around slowly.
"Everyday I wish for that. Broadway might be my dream but who wants to be alone at the top? I don't want to be alone forever." Simone moved closer to her and played with her hair.
"Your not going to be alone forever. You have your best friends with you. You also have Finn if he decides to show up." Rachel rests her head on Simone's shoulder.
"No babe. Now is not the time for tears. Remeber happy thoughts." Rachel laughed.
"I'm not tearing up. I just felt like having my head on your shoulder since your playing with my hair. It relaxes me." They finished their ice cream then threw away their trash.
Simone grabbed her hand and stared into her eyes. "I'm going to be here for you babe." Rachel smiles at her while lacing her fingers with hers.
"Thanks Hon." Simone chuckles and they kept on talking about different things. Not noticing that Kurt was standing far away staring at them.
"So what are you going to do when Finn does show up?" She looked at her.
"I really don't know but I guess we'll see when that day comes." Simone squeezed her hand.
He turned around and walked back to the subway back to Bushwick. He can tell them his news when they come back to the apartment.
Back At The Apartment.
Kurt was on facetime wth Santana while sitting on his new bed. He told her the news of his new job and what he thinks is going on between Simone and Rachel.
"Are you sure your not just seeing things Lady Hummel? I mean it's Berry of all people. She's all about Frankenteen." Santana said on the other shrugging.
"Of course I'm not seeing things Santana. Simone confessed to me last night that she has feelings for Rachel." Kurt exclaimed.
"They were also holding hands in the park today while eating ice cream. That seemed like a date to me." He told her.
"Well maybe Berry isn't as straight as we all thought. Is this girl ugly or something?" She asked him.
Before he answer that, the door slides open and he heard voices and laughing.
"You can see for yourself. Rachel and Simone come here and say hi to Santana." Santana glared at him not in the mood to be saying hi to Berry and her supposed lesbian lover.
Rachel and Simone walked over to him holding hands as always. Rachel peaked her head waving.
"Hi Santana." Rachel said smiling. Santana was surprised to see how different Rachel looked.
"Damn Berry why didn't you dress like that when we were in high school? is your hair lighter?" Rachel laughed nodding.
"Yeah I needed a New York change. Say hi to mine and Kurt's roommate Simone." Rachel moved out of the way and Simone smiled nicely at her waving.
"Hi there." Santana couldn't believe her eyes. This girl was gorgeous and this was the girl that Rachel was getting her mack on with? What the hell? She thought.
"Hi nice to meet you Simone. I'm Santana Lopez." Simone says nice to meet you then got off Kurt's bed.
"Come on babe so we can figure out what to cook tonight for dinner. It was nice meeting you Santana." Simone said before pulling Rachel with her.
Kurt raised an eyebrow at the two as they walked away then looked back at Santana who had her eyes wide open in shock.
"See I told you." Santana shook her head.
"Damn she's totally fuckable and more. I'll tell you if I wasn't with Brittany then I would totally be with that girl. I'm coming to visit you next weekend so I can see for myself what's going on with those two. Keep me posted on this budding romance." Kurt nodded saying that he will.
"See you Lady Hummel." They both hang up and Kurt went to tell the girls his big news.
"Girls I have news to tell you?" They walked out of the Rachel's side staring at him.
"Is this about your interview, how did it go?" Simone asked.
"Ohh yeah Kurt did you get the job?" Kurt nodded and both girls squealed hugging him.
"We're happy for you Kurt. We should go out tonight and celebrate." Simone imformed them.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Rachel nodded.
"Yeah Kurt. We shouldn't be stuck in the house. You got a job at Vogue. com. That's huge." They both pouted.
"God two girls with the pout. Fine we'll go out." They jump up and down.
"Come on Kurt, we need to help you wear something hot." Simone grabbed his and Rachel's arm pulling them to his side and they start looking.
Before Going Out.
All three of them ate dinner then they got ready. Rachel was putting on her makeup when there was a knock on the door. Since Kurt and Simone were still getting ready, she sighs getting the door. She slides the door open with a smile and froze up seeing who it was.
"Finn?" He stared at her smiling. She just frowns staring into his eyes. Simone walked out first.
"Hey babe does this dress look good on me?" Rachel turned around staring at Simone's dress and nodded.
Finn and Simone both stare at each other then stared at Rachel unsure what to do or say. Rachel just stood there with her head down.
