I'm back :)
Everyone knows by now that when Nathalie, Tina and Bea are together they love gossiping about Mercedes' love life.
Because, who wouldn't? The girl was dating Sean and then Sam comes back and claims that he will definitely make her fall in love with him again.
Mercedes sighed in defeat and gave the trio a look as she sat down on one of the tables of the courtyard with the rest of the girl coming after her, "I know what you three are dying to ask about."
Shrugging her shoulders, Tina couldn't even attempt to wipe the smile off her face as she looked around at the girls that seemed very interested in the topic of conversation, "Mercedes, what's the deal with you and Sam? You've been stealing glances in the choir room, and you still haven't told us what happened over summer vacation."
All that Mercedes could here was the different tones of pleas from her friends and she couldn't help but chuckle at how desperate they looked at her.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay," Mercedes interrupted them, "it's true. Sam and I spent a lot of time together at the lake," the rest of the girls oohed at her and Mercedes shyly smiled as she tried not to blush, "and... we had a fling."
"Please, I know that he's my ex, but tell us all the details!" Bea happily exclaimed and all the girls formed a circle, carefully and interested with the details of the summer romance.

The kids were ensemble to the choir room and were betting on what the assignment for the week was going to be. Bea and Momo had bet a The Rolling Stones and Tina, Nathalie and Quinn had settled on ABBA.
Mr. Schue finally entered the choir room with a huge smile on his face. Without saying anything, he picked up a board pen and walked to the whiteboard and, before he started writing, he turned to Finn who was sitting by the drums.
"Finn, give me a drum roll!" Mr. Schue ordered as he started writing some letters on the board. The kids tried their best to read what he was writing as it appeared letter by letter.
"Marryme," they said slowly, until they realized what it said, "marry me."
"Question mark!" Sugar added excitedly.
Mr. Schue turned around and gave a huge smile to his kids, "yes, I am proposing to Ms. Pillsbury," Mr. Schue confirmed and everyone break out into cheers, "this is the kind of news that you share with family, and you guys are my family."
"Not creepy at all," Momo mumbled and Nathalie elbowed to girl while trying to hold her laugh, "but we're happy for you!"
"We totally don't think you'll screw it up this time," Quinn added with a little smirk on her face and Tina and Nathalie elbowed the girl and Quinn gave them an annoyed look.
"Here's the thing: it's got to be perfect," Mr. Schue said firmly, "I'm sitting down with Emma's parents to ask for permission, and then this proposal needs to knock her well-washed socks off. And that's where you guys come in, okay? So the assignment for the week is to come up with a proposal number. And you know Ms. Pillsbury – it's got to be perfect."
The kids looked at each other and they had the same thought on their heads, they were going to make the best proposal ever.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
"How about I sing a Taylor Swift song?"
That was the first thing that Nathalie asked after she approached the table where Tina, Quinn, Bea and Momo were sat, and the four girls gave Nathalie a confused look.
Sure, Nathalie was still trying to get along with the new dynamic with the group because Quinn and Momo have feelings for her and she doesn't know who to choose.
"Which song were you thinking?" Quinn was the first one to question and Nathalie gave her a wide smile, "I'm glad you ask!"
Nathalie happily exclaimed and sat down next to her, where she laid her hand on top of hers, "remember when we used to have our weekly karaoke nights and we would sing Love Story and You Belong With Me till it was 3am?"
If you could see Quinn you'd see her wearing the brightest smile you could ever see while she remembered how simple their relationship was and how she deeply missed it.
"I do, I loved those nights! Are you thinking on singing one of the songs?"
"Both, actually."
"I'm intrigued," Bea spoke and rested her head on top of her interlaced hands, giving Nathalie her full attention, making the latter chuckle and shook her head.
"I'm sorry, sis, but time will tell."
"So, we'll never know," Tina sighed in defeat, "just great."
"Have faith in Nat, guys. She wants to give Mr. Schue the best performance and kick Rachel in the butt," Momo tried to ease everyone and gave a wink towards Nathalie, "I thought we already knew how Nattie is."
"You know me so well," Nathalie chuckled and got up from her seat, "I have to go and practice. See you in chem!"
"See ya!" the five girls bid their goodbyes, all going to their respective classes.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
After the successful performance between Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, Santana and Bea, Nathalie decided to summon Mr. Schue to the auditorium to show her own version on Love Story and hope that the teacher would choose this song.
"Nathalie! I'm so sorry I'm late, Coach Sue decided to give me one of her interesting talks," the older man spoke as he walked down the stair of the auditorium and gave the girl, who was seating on a small bench with the guitar given by Finn on her lap, "you told me you want to show me what you got?"
"Yes," Nathalie confirmed and adjusted the strap of the guitar, "I believe this song is the perfect choice for a wedding proposal and it does relate to you two a bit. If you think of it, your relationship started as forbidden, because you were married and Emma was already in love with you and was trying to do everything for you to notice her. Then, in the end, the guy in the song, aka now you, proposes to the girl, aka Emma, and live happily ever after."
Why does this sound so familiar to her?
Maybe because that's how her relationship with Quinn started. Forbidden. God, she hate yet she loves that word. It's kind of bittersweet for her, she loved those late night hookups where no one knew about what they were doing behind closed doors. But she hated because she was dating someone else, Finn. And she wanted to be with Quinn, to hold her hand in the hallway, to go on cute little dates where they would just look at the sky and dream about the future, or go to a karaoke bar where they would show off everyone their awesome chemistry, or would just drive around town while listening to Taylor Swift-
Okay, she's getting off track.
What she's trying to say is that she misses Quinn like crazy. And, while she was singing the song to Mr. Schue, she became emotional. And that tasted bittersweet, she thought that she could move on from her, yet she just wanted to finish the song and go and profess her love to Quinn.
And yet again, she had to talk with Momo about her decision. In a way, Nathalie knew that Momo knew that she would choose Quinn in the end and made the most of her time with the girl.
As the song came to an end, Mr. Schue was also wiping a few of his tears while he proudly clapped for the girl's performance. She was right, that song represented their relationship, not more than ever when Emma's parents were reprehensible with their daughter marrying him.
Nathalie gave him a little bow and, without professing any word, she walked out of the auditorium, looking for the girl she had to give some explanations,
Momo.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
Apparently it was easy to find Momo. Since the rest of the glee club were in the choir room giving Artie a word about his little date with Becky - caught by Finn and Rachel and told by Tina to Nathalie - Momo of course was in dance room.
But, she wasn't dancing.
The girl was lying down on the floor while listening to You Belong With Me.
Nathalie just laid down beside her and Momo let out a huge sigh as the pre-chorus kicked in, "you know what's funny?" Nathalie let out a hum sound and waited for Momo to answer her own question, "this song does relate a lot to me."
She knew this would come. Nathalie sadly thought and turned her head to watch every emotion on the other girl's face. Because one thing Nathalie loves about Momo is that the girl wears her heart on her sleeve and can't hide her true feelings and thoughts from people.
"And you know what's even funnier? I'm okay with it."
I'm confused.
"Because, I knew this day would come where you would come to me and say, 'I choose Quinn'. I knew it, but I took my shot and was almost successful with it," Momo turned to look at Nathalie with glassy eyes and gave her a smile as she moved her finger through her arm, giving her goosebumps, "because I got to know you," she then rested her thumb over the girl's lips, "to kiss you," then at her cleavage, "to touch you."
God, Momo loves this girl.
"You're better than any poem I've read till today," Momo whispered and she delicately traced her finger trough Nathalie's body, remembering this moment till the other girl would say the next few words.
"I'm so sorry, Momo," Nathalie murmured and grabbed the other girl's hand while she felt a tear leaving her eye.
Momo smiled, "I'm not," she spoke and gave a tiny laugh after Nathalie gave her a confused look, "cause I know I'll eventually have my chance. Because I know, while we're in this school, you obviously would only think about Quinn. Because she's maybe the love of your life. But," Momo left a kiss on the girl's lips, and smiled after Nathalie reciprocated the kiss, "I want to be the love for your life."
Momo got up from the ground and helped the other girl out, who looked a mix of confused and sad at the same time. The girl could only hug her tightly, smell her perfume and smile as she felt Nathalie hugging her in the same intensity as her.
"Now," Momo cleared her throat after they step back from the hug, "I want you to go and be with Quinn. Go tell her you love her and want to be with her in the same desire as I want to tell you. Which, trust me, is a lot."
Nathalie smiled at her and gave her a kiss on her cheek, making Momo smile as well and accompany the girl towards the exit of the dance studio, where she let out a huge breath and sadly smiled at her in the mirror as she wished she had said to Nathalie:
I love you way too much. And because I love you in this intensity, I just want you to be happy. And you'd be happy with me, but you'd be happier with her.
But, sadly, she couldn't put this huge weight on her shoulders, because Momo loves Nathalie way too much.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
So the marriage proposal was a tremendous success, Emma of course said yes.
But Mr. Schue didn't use any of the ideas given by his students throughout the whole week and ended up choosing Sam's, who had a sudden idea after Rachel's Without you performance.
Not gonna lie, Nathalie did love doing the performance in the school's pool ( side note, Bea and Tina totally hated it ) but the worst part was that her eyes were red because of the pool chlorine.
Nathalie stood in front of a mirror inside the girl's locker room trying to stop the burning feeling of her eyes as she washed her hands and face with soap. She sighed and started crying because it was coming to a point where it was hurting her a lot.
Luckily, Quinn knows Nathalie too well.
The girl had been looking for her on all bathrooms to finally found her on the locker room. She sighed in relief and walked towards Nathalie on a fast pace after she heard sniffles coming from her.
"Here," Quinn softly spoke and turned Nathalie's body to her direction, "open your eyes a little bit and it'll be all over."
Nathalie did what was told and Quinn dropped a few drops of saline eye. She started blinking rapidly and smiling in relief as she felt the pain fading away.
"Thank you," Nathalie murmured and smiled as she felt Quinn kissing the top of her head.
"Don't need to thank me," the other girl reassured and wrapped her arms around her waist, "Momo and I spoke. And she told me that I would receive great news from you."
"She didn't tell you?" Nathalie shockingly asked and Quinn shook her head, "she did not. She said it's not her place to tell."
God, she's amazing.
Nathalie softly smiled and wrapped her arms around the girl's neck. Quinn took a deep breath and felt her heart drumming fast on her chest as she felt Nathalie coming closer to her, "maybe I should just show you..."
That was the last thing she said before Nathalie pressed their lips together, making both sigh in blissfully. Quinn missed this, she missed kissing Nathalie and being so close to her.
After a few seconds, the girls separated and Quinn looked at Nathalie with a smile plastered on her face, and even got bigger after she saw the necklace she gave to her last year around her neck. She couldn't help but gasp as she let out a few tears, "you choose me?"
"It's you who I want Quinn," Nathalie started talking, "despite everything and how confused I was, the song that I performed to Mr. Schue just gave me the clear message of who I want to be with. I love you, and I just want to be with you again," Nathalie smiled but cleared her throat while she awkwardly looked everywhere but Quinn, "of course, if you want me back."
"Of course I do," Quinn whispered and pecked her lips again, "you have no idea how happy I am. I love you so much."
"I love you too," Nathalie smiled and pressed their lips again, both happy that they are back at each other's arms.
But the question lingers, did Nathalie make the right decision?

Hey!!
I just want to deeply apologize for not uploading for a whole month. Unfortunately, as I said on my profile, a person who I deeply love unfortunately passed away, so I decided to take a few time off of social media and get my head straight.
When I thought I was better to come back, writer block's kicked in, I didn't want to write at all and I had a lot of tests and oral presentations.
I'm now finally getting on track with writing and posting new books for you all, but I have to say that the updates won't probably be weekly, but it will be when I think the chapter is perfect to be delivered to you guys.
Because I don't want to put pressure on me to get the chapter done before a specific date.
So, I please beg you, don't pm me asking for me to update, because that will put a huge pressure on me and I don't want that.
Anyways, sorry for the long rant, also thank you for sticking around and comment/vote on this book. It means the world to me.
You guys are loved,
xxglistxx
P.s: it's not the end for Nathalie and Momo, don't forget that New York is just around the corner 😉
