"Wait. Do not you understand what you mean to me?' Rachel asked, making her way to Quinn.
Quinn only stared at her, questioningly, as if she thought Rachel would have hated her.
Rachel continued.
"When we first met, you were everything I wanted to be: you were beautiful and popular, and you had Finn."
Quinn shrugged as if it were nothing, "How the mighty have fallen."
"No you don't understand," Rachel pressed. "I still see you the same way okay?" Quinn just stared at Rachel disbelievingly, like there was no way she wasn't lying. "That's why I got so crazy. Because I wasn't seeing the new Quinn. The still-beautiful, but humbled and inspiring Quinn." Rachel paused.
"The Quinn I've been in love with since freshman year"
Rachel mumbled the last few words so quietly Quinn almost didn't hear them. Almost.
"What?" Quinn breathed out, shocked that the girl she's been in love with ever since she eavesdropped on her and Finns conversation in the hallway was confessing her feelings to her.
Rachel took a deep breath. "Quinn, I've been in love with you for as long as I can remember. At first, I just thought you were hot, which, I'm still not wrong about that part," They both laughed a that. "But when I got to know you, seewho you really are, I fell in love before I even knew what hit me. I know it's impossible for you to share the same feelings as me, but I just wanted you to know. I don't love Finn, the way I want to love you, Quinn." Rachel said, voice wavering towards the end, overcome with emotion from confessing her love.
Quinn thought for a minute, thinking about the right words to show how unbelievably in love she was with the girl standing self-consciously in front of her.
"Rachel, I've been in love with you since sophomore year. I was a bitch to you because I didn't want to admit it. That's why I slept with Puck. I thought maybe I just wasn't attracted to Finn. I never even thought I could be gay. But when I saw you from across the hall one day, I knew I couldn't deny it anymore. I want to love you, Rachel. Not just be in love with you. I want to be with you more than anything in the entire world Rachel. Even though I don't deserve this amazing, talented, hot, girl in front of me, I want to try to make this work." Quinn stated, never breaking eye contact.
They both had tears of happiness streaming down their faces from their speeches.
"Well then," Rachel replied playfully, after a few minutes of comfortable silence, taking in everything that just happened. "I guess we should seal the deal. With a kiss perhaps?" Rachel asked, batting her eyelashes, knowing this was an offer Quinn couldn't refuse.
"A kiss will have to do for now." Quinn replied with slightly more teary voice than Rachels, but in the same playful tune.
As Rachel bent down to kiss Quinn, they both knew that this what all the name calling, pornographic drawings on the bathroom stalls, and slaps lead to.
The perfect kiss.
