Such great heights

Chapter 9

The light breeze coming from the open window made Quinn stir awake. She lifted her head from the comfortable spot against Rachel's bare back to check the clock on her nightstand. 9:37 PM. She groaned softly and laid back down against her sleeping partner, who was hugging her fluffy pillow with a death grip. Legs spread and mouth slightly opened, Rachel looked like a cute kitten sprawled in the middle of her big bed. The escort smiled at the sight and retrieved the warm duvet from the foot of the bed, where they had kicked it during their passionate intercourse. Quietly, she tugged it over their bare frames before settling back against her lover's back, who snuggled closer to her.

Sleep seemed to have abandoned her, so she just laid there staring into space whilst her fingers idly traced imaginary circles up and down the brunette's forearm. Her nose brushed along the girl's hairline, breathing into the scent of her shampoo mixed with sweat and sex. Her breath was slow and deep and her body was so warm, against hers. She had no idea how or when she got so lucky to deserve this girl lying beside her, but she was thankful for having met Rachel that fateful evening.

"Mm..." Rachel purred into the pillow, hugging it a little tighter before reaching for her girlfriend's arm and tug her closer, in her semi asleep state. "What time is it?" She kissed the blonde's palm and rested her rosy cheek against it, shutting her eyes closed once again.

"It's past Ten, baby." The escort dropped a soft kiss against her bare shoulder and nuzzled the tanned skin with the tip of her nose, making the brunette giggle lightly. "Do you want to order some take out and watch a movie?" She ghosted her lips over her small tattoo, holding Rachel a little closer as she rested completely on top of her.

"That sound like a good idea, do you have musical movies?" Rachel turned her head to stare at the blonde through her eyelashes, making it impossible to say no to her adorable face. When Quinn nodded, she beamed at her and placed a soft kiss on her awaiting lips, before reaching for the phone on the nightstand and handing it to the girl. "I'll get a vegetarian pizza with no mozzarella cheese, please!"She slipped out of her girlfriend's grip and walked toward the bathroom, making sure to add some seductive sway on her way.

"Damn, I am whipped already." Quinn fell back against the mattress and brought her phone to her ear, placing the orders at her favorite pizza place.

Twenty minutes later, they were sitting side by side on the blonde's couch, finishing their pizzas with their feet propped on the coffee table in front of them. Rachel was singing along, leaving Quinn to smile at her because she loved seeing her so happy; the blonde pushed her empty box on the floor and stretched her arms over her head, letting a grunt out because she had forgotten about her aching ribs. "Fuck" She rubbed her sore spot and rested her head back against the back of the couch, breathing in deeply.

"How can you always forget about the ribs' injury?" Rachel leaned over and pecked her lips, massaging the spot with her own hand. "If you put unnecessary pressure on them, they will take longer to heal." She mumbled and snuggled into her girlfriend's side, who nodded and wrapped an arm over her shoulders.

"How are your dads?" Quinn pressed a kiss against her forehead and looked briefly down at her, who had turned her gaze away from the TV.

"They are always so busy with their jobs, but at least it keeps them from missing me too much." She chuckled and nuzzled her nose against her well defined jawline. "They are excited about me visiting for Christmas break, although we do not celebrate it." She shrugged and slipped her hand up the escort's wifebeater, tracing the shape of her abs. "Do you have plans to go back to Texas for Christmas?"

"Hell no. I have been spending Christmas in NY with Brody, since we moved out of that horrible place, I'd never go back let alone for a holiday I used to love." She mumbled and traced along the edge of the brunette's shorts, fingering the fabric. "I'll have to make sure to deliver your Hanukkah gifts before you leave, then." She smiled and nuzzled the tip of her nose along her hairline.
