Chapter 2
“Come to the game tonight?” Beth held Rachel on her lap while sitting on one of the uncomfortable chairs in the cafeteria. Rachel leaned back into Beth’s strong embrace and rested her head against Beth’s shoulder. “Don’t I always?”
“She does” Brittany chirped beside them, matter-of-factly. “Doesn’t she San?”
Santana grunted an affirmative reply, typing away on the small pad of her blackberry. “Who ya textin’ Lopez?” Beth asked lazily, leaning forward to steal one of Rachel’s fries. Rachel slapped her hand away playfully. “Sexting Fabray. I don’t text. And it’s none of your business” Santana replied half-heartedly.
“Gee S, defensive much?” Beth shot at her, resting her hands on Rachel’s inner thighs “Must be someone special. Mommy perhaps?”
“Fuck off Beth” Santana growled. “The only mother I’d be sexting is yours. Damn Mama Fabray’s ass is fine”
Rachel felt Beth stiffen, and knew Santana had pressed the wrong button. She gripped Beth’s hands to remind her that she was still there. She had no doubt that when riled up, Beth wouldn’t hesitate to throw her to the floor and jump over the table to tackle Santana. “Take that back” She snarled, leaning forward so quickly that Rachel’s stomach was rammed into the edge of the table without warning. “Take it back now”
Santana did nothing but smirk, in that tauntingly infuriating way that Rachel knew Beth despised. “Nah. I don’t feel like it. You know what I do feel like? Your Mama bending over for me like the good little bitch she is”
Rachel slipped off of Beth’s lap before she was thrown off, and tumbled to the floor at the exact moment that Beth launched herself across the table. It was a blur of red and white, blonde and brown as Beth tackled Santana to the floor, shrieking in her mother’s defense and swinging punches left, right and center. “Don’t talk about her like that” Beth screamed furious, as she latched on to a handful of Santana’s hair. “I-I bet she likes it up the ass” Santana gasped, managing to keep the shit-faced smile painted onto her face through every punch Beth threw. Rachel was certain she had never seen Brittany so scared.
The crowd grew around the two of them, and Rachel propped herself against the metal chair while the WMHS students cheered and clapped.
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
“Whooo hoo! Girl on girl!”
“Beth stop it!” She yelled helplessly, looking down on them from over the table. “Stop it now!”
She watched horrified as one of Santana’s hands grabbed a fistful of blonde hair and tugged backwards, slamming Beth’s head against the bottom of a metal chair. Beth’s knee jerked Santana in the stomach as she fell backwards to the floor, clutching her head in agony.
“Girls!” Mr. Schuester rushed forward pulling Beth up onto her feet. Rachel moved forward to grip onto the other side of Beth’s body, wrapping her arms around the cheerleader’s waist. Beth staggered backwards, clutching her head in both hands as Santana stood up, looking nothing more than a little flustered. Mr. Schuester rushed forward to help her up “Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Fabray” She sneered in Beth’s direction, ripping her arm out of Mr. Schuester’s grip, “C’mon Brit”
Brittany took Santana’s hand and followed her out of the growing crowd, leaving Beth and Rachel in the centre. “Nurse” Mr. Schuester spoke firmly, “Take her to the nurse”
Rachel nodded quickly and half-carried Beth out of the cafeteria to the nurse.
--
“She’ll be okay” Nurse Brown assured her as she sat next to the tiny bed which Beth was lying on. Beth moaned as the nurse pressed an ice packet to her bruising head. “Just a little bump”
Rachel squeezed Beth’s hand and smiled lightly as Beth squeezed back.
“Beth?” A soft voice from the door caused Rachel’s heart to thump loudly in her chest.
“Mom?”
Quinn Fabray glided into the room, her long wavy hair floating behind her like a goddess; Rachel tried her hardest not to stare. “Beth? Honey, what happened?”
“Nothing” Beth mumbled, averting her gaze.
“She got into a fight” Nurse Brown said disapprovingly. Beth scowled at her. “Hit her head on one of the cafeteria chairs-“
Quinn said nothing, but Rachel saw the flicker of disappointment flash in her eyes.
“I’m fine” Beth spoke over the top of the nurse, “It was barely even a fight mom…”
Quinn sighed, before turning to Nurse Brown, “Is she going to be okay?”
“She’ll be fine” The nurse replied, “All she needs is a little rest”
Quinn was attentive, Rachel noted as she took in every inch of her beautiful features. Her head was tilted as if she were holding onto every word the nurse said, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration.
Rachel stared openly, her mouth falling open a little at the sight. Quinn Fabray possessed beauty she had only dreamed of seeing.
“Rach?” Beth tugged at her hand and Rachel’s mouth snapped shut.
“Huh?” She said stupidly, completely unaware of how long she had been staring.
“I asked if you wanted to come over after school” Beth said slowly, “Were you listening to me?”
“Of course” Rachel responded immediately, “Of course I was listening to you”
Beth blinked. “So…?”
“Sure!” Rachel said, a little too eagerly. Beth frowned slightly. “Okay… cool”
“Cool” Rachel repeated, her face flushed. She felt like an idiot.
“I’ll take her home” The sound of Quinn Fabray’s voice caused her head to snap up. She even spoke like an angel.
“What about my car?” Beth interjected loudly.
Quinn raised an eyebrow. “Rachel’s coming over anyway, isn’t she?” Rachel nodded quickly. “Problem solved” Quinn smiled as Beth slumped back. Rachel tried her best to swallow the lump in her throat as Quinn’s golden eyes twinkled, amused.
Three-fifteen came around quickly, and Rachel practically ran to get to Beth's car in the parking lot, ignoring Finn's yells about glee rehearsal.
Rachel pulled Beth’s mini-cooper into the Fabray’s driveway, sucking in her breath nervously. She couldn’t stop replaying Ms. Fabray’s gorgeous smile over and over. The smile for me, Rachel thought, her heart hammering excitedly at the thought.
She pulled the key out of the ignition and stepped out of the car, careful to avoid a row of neatly planted flower beds and hopped over the lawn to the front porch, locking the car as she went.
She rapped on the door eagerly, swaying slightly as she waited for a response.
“Rachel” Ms. Fabray smiled, and Rachel almost fell flat on her face, “I’m sorry, I just got out of the shower”
Rachel’s eyes went wide, she opened her mouth to say something before her mouth fell shut. She was in a towel. A skimpy little white towel.
Ms Fabray stepped away from the entrance, her long blonde hair in damp curls around her shoulders… the shoulders that were wet and bare…
“I-I-I-I... b-brought the car” Rachel stammered, gesturing outwards, unable to take her eyes off of Ms. Fabray’s chest. “B-Beth’s car. It’s in the driveway”
Ms Fabray smiled again, her gaze light. “Come in, Beth’s in her room”
Rachel nodded quickly, slipping off her shoes and entering the house, thinking it best to get as far away from Ms. Fabray, a half naked Ms. Fabray, as possible. “Thanks Ms. Fabray”
“Please,” Ms Fabray waved off, “Call me Quinn”
Rachel stomach lurched. “O-kay” She said hesitantly, “Quinn.”
Quinn beamed at her, “Let me know if you girls need anything”
Rachel nodded, before scampering up the stairs, her heart pulsing uncontrollably. She stopped at the top and sank down on to the floor where she knew she was out of view, a blush covering her face. Giddy, she stood up and smiled, pushing Beth’s door open. The sight of Beth lying on her bed, her eyes closed in sleep and her mouth slightly open made her stomach churn with guilt.
She moved forward, and perched herself on the side of Beth’s bed, reaching to brush a blonde lock of hair off of her face. She looked so peaceful, so angelic and serene that Rachel smiled gently, leaning down to press a kiss to her girlfriend’s forehead. It was at times like these, when Beth was quiet and not trying to grope any part of Rachel's body that she could grab on to that Rachel could truly appreciate her girlfriends beauty.
In fact, if she tilted her head slightly sideways, she could pretend that Beth was Qui-
"Rachel?" Startled, Rachel was snapped out of her thoughts and met by Beth's sleepy aqua eyes. Rachel smiled, and squeezed her hand gently. "Hey"
Beth stared for a moment and then pulled her forward so Rachel crashed on top of her, eyes widening in surprise as Beth's hands cupped her ass. "Beth!-"
"Shh" Beth murmured into her neck, "Relax baby"
Out of the corner of her eye, Rachel swore she saw Quinn lurk past the door. With a blink, she was gone.
