June 13th, 2011
It was the official first day of summer vacation. Sure school had ended on Friday. But today was the first Monday that the kids could sleep in for a bit. Quinn had invited the girls over to have a nice girls day/night laying out in the sun, getting some tanning and gossiping in before most of them left for California. It was also the day before Quinn's birthday, and her surprise party as well.
"It's so hot." Santana stated the obvious as she lay on her back on her towel in the backyard. She was between Brittany and Quinn, and next to Quinn was Rachel, then Tina, with Mercedes on the other side of Brittany. All the girls lay on the deck.
"They say it's going to be the hottest and most humid summers Lima has ever had." Rachel stated as she turned onto her back, her gold star tattoo in full view.
"Rachel…every time I see that tattoo. I just want to laugh my ass off." Santana said as she looked over her sunglasses.
"Every time I see it I want to cause physical pain to Nathan for letting me get it." Rachel stated angrily. Nathan was on the other side of the backyard mowing the lawn now, in only his board shorts and slip-on vans.
"It's to bad he doesn't have an older brother." Mercedes commented.
All the girls turned on their stomachs to stare at him for a bit. He was glistening in the hot sun, the muscles in his arms, legs, and back flexing as he pushed the lawn mower.
"So Quinn…have you two tried anything extreme in the bedroom? Cause I'm pretty sure he can do anything with a body like that." Brittany asked bluntly.
"That's something private Brittany…" Quinn said looking at the other blonde.
"Please Q…you weren't trying to be private that night before Regionals. I'm pretty sure everyone heard you." Santana laughed, her eyes still focused up at the sky.
"No offense mama... I seriously had trouble looking at you the next day…" Mercedes said blushing slightly.
"Traumatizing…" Tina said with a nod.
"LET IT GO!" Quinn yelled putting her hands over her face trying to hide the embarrassment.
"Seriously though Q. I mean we're all girls here…we can talk about this stuff now that all of us have boyfriends." Santana stated. This was true, the night after Santana's mom's birthday; Matt and Mercedes had hit it off. Although, most of the girls saw them getting together from a mile away.
"That doesn't mean I have to tell you what me and Nathan do in the bedroom." Quinn said.
"Oh. We KNOW what you DO in the bedroom. And it's not eating crackers and having tea. Well I mean there is eating but…" Santana was cut off by a bottle of sun tanning lotion hitting her stomach.
"Hey ladies. What are you gossiping about now?" Nathan smiled as he walked up the deck steps.
"Eating out." Brittany answered bluntly. Nathan blushed slightly before he spoke.
"Oh…uh…carry on then. Don't mind me." he said before heading into the kitchen.
"Smooth Britt. Smooth." Mercedes chuckled lightly.
"Anyways…before I was physically abused…seriously Q just spill it. What kind of kinky things is Nathan into?" Santana asked turning towards Quinn.
Quinn groaned, "I don't know…I guess…he likes it when I bite him…although I don't know why exactly…"
"So he likes a little pain with his pleasure…I'm pretty much knew that from all the bite marks we saw after new years…what else is he into…I want to have some good go to comebacks for our road trip." Santana said laughing slightly.
Quinn rolled her eyes and watched as Nathan stepped back out. "Do you guys want something to eat? Or drink or something?" Nathan offered leaning against the doorframe.
"Quinn really wants a screaming orgasm" Santana raised an eyebrow deviously.
"Santana!" Quinn scolded at her hitting her in the arm.
"What? It's a drink!" Santana said. Nathan just raised his brow before looking at the other girls.
"Do any of you NORMAL girls want something to drink? I have lemonade, soda, and water…and juice if you want one Brittany."
"I want Juice!" Brittany sat up quickly and took off her sunglasses.
"I'll have a water. Please" Tina said with a smile
"Me too." Mercedes replied
"A lemonade sounds appetizing. Please." Rachel said with a smile.
"Hey I'm normal damn it. Your girlfriend here is the one who probably has the most sex out of all of us, but STILL can't talk about it without throwing a bitch fit." Santana answered, "also. I'd really like a diet coke…."
"A diet coke…." Nathan hung on the last word waiting for the correct request.
"A diet coke…please." Santana sneered and rolled her eyes before standing up.
"You want anything baby?" Nathan said to Quinn.
"a good assassin that can kill Santana. And a lemonade please." Quinn answered giving Santana look as she stood up as well.
"I think this sun is getting to both of you. Maybe it's better if we go inside. We've been out here for like…2 hours already." Mercedes commented
"Definitely. I don't want any of us to get heat stroke." Rachel said as she got up and dusted herself off.
All the girls walked in to see Nathan rummaging through the fridge for their drinks. He placed all of them on the counter for them. Nathan turned back towards the fridge and got out some ingredients to make a sandwich. Turkey, roast beef, 2 slices of cheese, and bacon filled his hands before he knew it. He quickly threw it together on a French roll and stood in front of the girls.
"Can I have half?" Quinn asked
"Make your own…I'm like…super starving right now." Nathan answered taking
"Please?" Quinn asked again giving him a look she knew he couldn't refuse.
Nathan breathed in deeply, "fine…" he huffed taking his half and sliding the other on the plate towards Quinn.
Santana made a whipping sound before she said "Whipped." As he left the kitchen. Nathan threw her a one-finger salute before he walked upstairs to his room.
"I think it's sweet that Nathan does these things for Quinn." Rachel commented.
"Yeah cause Finn is even more whipped than Nathan." Santana commented.
"Santana does have a point. Finn is pretty whipped." Tina confirmed.
"No he isn't, we have just have a very open relationship…" Rachel tried to justify her actions.
"Oh please Berry, you made him tie your shoes the other day. When you obviously could have done it yourself since you're already closer to the ground." Santana shot back.
"I thought Rachel didn't know how to tie her shoes. That's why she never wore shoes with laces…" Brittany said as she sipped on her Capri-sun juice pouch.
All the girls just looked at Brittany before turning back to the conversation. They talked some more and ate whatever had been in the fridge and the freezer, the heat still sweltering even inside the house with the A/C on. They watched a few movies in the basement and played rockband for a while before Santana had pulled out a bottle of rum and they decided to play a game of never have I ever.
"Never have I ever…made out with Brittany." Rachel said laughing slightly.
"That's a cheap shot berry." Santana said before taking a swig from the bottle.
"Never have I ever…been vegetarian." Quinn said looking at Rachel.
" I don't think this is fair…" Rachel whined before taking the bottle from Santana and taking a swig.
"Never have I ever…kissed Nathan." Tina said looking at Quinn. Rachel unconsciously lifted the bottle to her lips before she heard Santana speak.
"You kissed Nathan? Whoa whoa….when did this happen?"
"I…" Rachel looked at Quinn who just shrugged and looked down at her hands.
Rachel told the girls of what happened. Most of them were shocked that she didn't tell them in the first place, especially when it was so traumatizing.
"Dang…" Mercedes said, wide eyed at the end the story.
"You should have told us Rachel…we would have helped you…" Tina said.
"So Nathan just laid there? The whole night? Didn't make a move?" Santana asked trying to clarify everything.
"He was a complete gentleman." Rachel said with a small smile towards Quinn.
They decided to stop playing once they knew they'd had enough for the night. All the girls ate again almost clearing out the fridge, and left just a bit after 11pm. Quinn cleaned up a bit downstairs before heading upstairs towards Nathan's room. She opened the door seeing him laying in bed, the fan on high, listening to some music through the earphones on his iPhone. He looked up and smiled at her before he sat up.
"Hey. How was your girls day?" he asked as he watched Quinn walk over and sit a the edge of the bed.
"It was fun. Thanks for giving us some space and everything." Quinn said with a smile.
"No problem baby. But I got a surprise for you tonight." Nathan said before getting out of bed quickly.
"What kind of surprise?" Quinn asked as she raised her eyebrow.
"A special birthday surprise. But we have to drive somewhere. So…get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs." Nathan said before leaving a kiss on her forehead. Quinn got up and walked over to her room and put on a simple floral print summer dress and ballet flats before walking downstairs.
Nathan waited for him at the bottom of the staircase, leaning on the rail, hands in his pockets. He looked up and smiled at her.
"Ready?" he asked her.
"mmhmm" Quinn nodded.
"You have to be blindfolded though." Nathan said taking a bandana out of his pocket.
"Please tell me this isn't going to turn into some prank you and Santana have planned." Quinn said as she raised her eyebrow.
"I promise baby. This is a good surprise." Nathan said before putting the blindfold over her eyes. "Is it too tight? Can you see anything?" he asked her as he stood in front of her making faces at her.
"It's fine. I can't see anything." Quinn said honestly. Nathan led her to the car and they drove off. He was taking her back to the high school, and knowing that Quinn knew the route so well, he took the long way and threw some figure 8's in there as well. By the time they arrived it was 20 minutes to midnight. Nathan parked on the other side of the campus as to confuse Quinn more.
"Okay we're here." Nathan said as he got out and went to Quinn's side of the car. He walked her all the way to the choir room, and made her sit down in one of the chairs in the back corner. He walked down to the front of the room and looked at her.
"Okay. Take off the bandana" Nathan said as he watched her. Quinn followed his directions and untied the bandana and lowered it. She looked around and frowned, "why are we at school? And how did you even get us in here?"
"I may have asked Mr. Schue to lend me the key." Nathan said with a small laugh.
"What are we doing here Nathan?" Quinn asked.
"This exact position that we're in right now. It's the moment we first saw each other. Except last time there were 12 other people in the room with us. But all I saw, was you. I saw you and everything else just kind of slipped away. I wanted to know all about you. I wanted to know what kind of pizza you liked, I wanted to know if you preferred Pepsi over coke, I wanted to know if I could fall in love with you…
…and I did. I fell madly and deeply in love with you. I remember picking your name out of the hat and just knowing that it was your name, because it was just as beautiful as you. And when I heard you speak, I'm pretty sure my heart just stopped beating...and to this day…even after everything that's happened…you still take my breath away. " Nathan said as he walked closer to her, he walked up the steps and kneeled in front of her. He reached down into his pocket taking out a small box.
"Nathan…" Quinn looked down and covered her mouth with her hand.
"It's not an engagement ring. I know you said you wanted to wait until you graduated from college…this ring…" Nathan started as he opened the box.
"…Was the ring Henry gave my mom as a promise that he would never hurt her. That he would help her through every thing at her own pace…And to honor that promise…I want to give it to you. As a promise to help you through whatever trouble no matter what it is, a promise that I will never hurt you, that I'll be there when you need me. That I trust you with all my soul, want you with every inch of my being, and love you with all my heart." Nathan looked at the clock on the wall, it was exactly midnight.
June 14th 2011
"Happy Birthday Quinn Fabray." He said as he slipped the ring on her right hand ring finger.
"I love you so much Nathan." Quinn said with tears in her eyes. She leaned down and hugged him tightly before releasing and back away to kiss him passionately. Nathan wiped away her tears with his thumb before he took her hand in his and gave it a firm squeeze. They walked down the hallways of the school towards the car, the small echo of footsteps resounding off the walls.
"How long have you been planning this?" Quinn asked
"Two weeks before school ended. Getting the keys was the hardest part. But it all worked out for the best." Nathan said with a smile as he opened the passenger side door for her. They drove home listening to some soft music, their fingers still intertwined with each other over the center console. Quinn kept looking down at her right hand admiring the ring that Nathan had just given her. It had a silver band and princess cut diamond in the center. She had seen Jesslyn wear it around her neck on a necklace, and knowing it was hers made Quinn feel so honored to wear it.
Once they arrived home, Quinn exited the car and waited for Nathan to walk to her side of the car.
"There's one more thing…" Nathan said grabbing her by the hips. They were outside in front of the garage, the hot summer night encasing them in silence.
"What is it?" Quinn asked as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
"It's your birthday. Which means… somewhat midnight birthday sex…" Nathan said as he raised an eyebrow. "So tell me Quinn Fabray…what's one of your biggest fantasies?" Nathan whispered into her ear before he left a trail of kisses down from her ear to the base of her neck. Quinn smiled and bit her lower lip before she answered.
"Why don't we go upstairs into you're my room…and you can find out." Quinn said dragging a finger down his chest. They both hurried up stairs, not caring about the noise they made since Henry and Riley were out of the house. They were in Columbus visiting some of Henry's family members. Once the door was closed to Quinn's room, their lips crashed together in a passionate frenzy. Quinn was pretty sure that Nathan emitted a low growl from his lips as she dug her nails into his chest once his shirt was off.
"So…what's your fantasy…?" Nathan said as he sat at the edge of Quinn's bed, Quinn straddling him in her underwear and bra. Quinn blushed at the thoughts rushing through her head. Nathan saw the look on her face, the change of color in her cheeks.
"you can tell me baby…" Nathan said reassuringly running and hand through her hair.
"I…I like…having you watch me…while I…" Quinn's words trailed off, her mind racing.
"While you what?" Nathan asked even though he knew what she was about to say.
"While I touch myself…watch me, tell me what you want me to do myself." Quinn said looking into his eyes. Nathan just nodded and kissed down her neck before he sat down next to her on her bed. He kissed her lips passionately before he backed away and watched her.
"Take off your bra first…" he whispered. Quinn followed his directions and reached behind her taking her bra off and laying back.
"Now your underwear…" Nathan spoke watching as Quinn's fingers moved down her body to the hem of her boy short underwear. Nathan unconsciously licked his lips as he looked down between Quinn's legs.
"It's not polite to stare…" Quinn whispered as her hands ran through her hair and down towards her breasts. Nathan watched her hands caress herself, cupping one breast while the other pinched an already hard nipple between her fingers. Nathan breathed in deeply, swallowing hard before speaking the next words.
"Touch yourself…between your legs…" Nathan said confidently, watching one of her hands as it trailed down from her breast to between her legs.
"H-how do you feel?" Nathan asked, his breath now heavy, his jeans becoming way to tight for comfort.
"…So good…" Quinn moaned as she rubbed two fingers against her entrance before coming back up to her clit.
"Tell me…tell me how wet you are baby…" Nathan said leaning in closer, watching her fingers do what he wanted to do so badly.
"I'm…so wet Nathan…" Quinn inhaled sharply as she hit just the right spot.
"I want to see you…" Nathan stopped and leaned in closer, whispering in her ear, "I wanna see you fuck yourself Quinn…hard and fast…just how I do it…" he said before hearing her moan loudly at the change of pace.
"Imagine my fingers doing this to you…pushing up…curling into all the right places…getting you closer to the edge…" Nathan kept whispering into her ear as Quinn pumped her fingers in and out of herself. Nathan watched intently clenching his fists to keep from reaching out and touching Quinn, and more importantly from touching himself.
"I can't help myself…" Nathan whispered in her ear before he ran his hand up her thigh.
"Good…neither can I…" Quinn panted out before she attacked his lips with her own.
"Take your pants off." Quinn demanded. Nathan got out of bed with ninja like speed, much like Quinn had seen him do when he woke up and noticed he was late for morning drills. He pulled down his jeans quickly before standing in front of Quinn in only his boxers.
"I saved those for you." Nathan said with a cocky smile. Quinn licked her lips before she bit her bottom lip and reached out to pull his boxers down before she pulled him down on top of her. Nathan started off slow and hard, but because Quinn was already built up, it didn't take long for her to start moaning loudly again every time he entered her.
"damn baby…your so wet…feels so good…" Nathan said into her ear as he increased his speed.
"…Harder." Quinn let out loudly. Nathan replied with a hard thrust, a low grunt escaping his lips. He could feel the sweat starting to form on his body and because of the heat wave Lima was having, their sex-capades were ten times hotter. Nathan looked down to see Quinn with her head thrown back, her hips raising up to meet his, thrust for thrust. Sweat was starting to form on Quinn as well, her hair sticking to her forehead. Nathan changed position slightly, leaning back a bit, lifting one of Quinn's legs up and holding it on top of his shoulder. Quinn's back arched at the new spots he was hitting and soon enough she was screaming Nathan's name at the top of her lungs as she came.
Nathan kept pumping in and out slowly, letting her ride it out trying to reach his own edge. He pulled out letting her calm down laying next to her looking over, her breathing still ragged.
"You didn't…" she panted out looking down at him, still hard and wanting.
"It's gonna take a little more than that baby..." Nathan laughed slightly. He heard the shift in the bed and then saw as Quinn straddled his hips looking down at him, her blonde hair curtaining around him.
"What's it gonna take then…?" she said into his ear, her tongue darting out of her mouth to lick the shell of his ear.
"Whatever you want it too…it's your birthday after all…" Nathan groaned feeling her wetness against his lower abs. Quinn leaned down to kiss him passionately, grinding down against him.
"It's gonna be a long night…" Quinn said seductively before she bit down on his shoulder lightly.
The next morning Nathan woke up first, his arms wrapped around Quinn protectively, with Quinn's arm on top of his. His fingers felt the ring on her right hand. It was the next step in their relationship, having her be his and for people to know it. He knew Quinn would probably tell all the girls today about it. But Nathan had a harder task, keeping Quinn out of the loop for her surprise birthday bash.
Judy had rented out a country club clubhouse and invited all the glee kids including their families, as well as some of Quinn's other friends from school. Because contrary to popular belief, Quinn did have friends outside of Glee club. Nathan decided that he would probably make her breakfast and then take her out to a movie and then tell her that he was going to take her out to dinner so she would dress up. It was all planned out, and hopefully things would go according to plan.
Nathan untangled himself from Quinn and went over to his room to get dressed before heading down stairs to start breakfast. He made her favorite banana pancakes, cooked up some apple wood smoked bacon, and fried up some hash browns. Nathan heard soft footsteps approach as he was serving everything into plates. He turned to see Quinn in his button-up shirt from last night and a new pair of boy short underwear. Her hair was tied up in a messy ponytail. He smiled at her before walking over to her, his hands rested on the small of her back.
"you know. You look extremely beautiful like that." Nathan commented as he pressed his forehead against hers.
"I look horrible." Quinn frowned and pouted, her arms wrapping around his neck.
sweatpants, hair-tied, chillin' with no make up, that's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong…
Nathan recited one of his favorite hip-hop songs. He had slowly been getting Quinn into listening to more kinds of music. Quinn just blushed and kissed him softly before retreating.
"I made you breakfast. Thought you needed some good grub after last night." Nathan said.
"Thanks baby. And you made my favorite." Quinn smiled before looking down at her plate, her stomach grumbling.
"Yeah and you better like it." Nathan furrowed his eyebrows, a smile creeping onto his face.
"Dork…" Quinn laughed out before taking her plate to the table. They ate quietly for a bit before Nathan asked if Quinn would want to go out for a movie.
"Sure. What movie?" Quinn asked as she finished her last piece of bacon.
"You're the birthday girl. You pick." Nathan said with a smile.
"The hangover 2 is still playing." Quinn said
"And you call me the dork." Nathan said as he raised an eyebrow.
"What? I loved the first one. If we do have kids, and it turns out to be a boy. We're naming him Carlos." Quinn nodded with a smile
"Yeah…except neither of us look remotely Hispanic…I'm only a quarter Mexican. Which would make our baby like…an eighth Mexican…" Nathan stated
"I guess. We could always name him Alan. Or Doug." Quinn said as she pulled one of her knees up to her chest, resting her foot on the chair seat. Nathan glanced down between her legs before he licked his lips unconsciously. He eyed the now dark red hickeys on her inner thigh. Quinn quickly got up and walked over to the sink to wash her plate. Nathan kept his eyes trained on her butt, the hem of his shirt showing just enough of his favorite of Quinn's assets.
"Stop staring at my ass Nathan." Quinn said looking over her shoulder giving him a coy smile.
"Not my fault you have it all out there. I'm kinda glad you aren't a cheerleader anymore. I'd probably need to take cold showers at school or something." Nathan said before he stood up and walked over to Quinn, rinsing off his plate and placed it in the dishwasher.
"Come on. I gotta see what times the movie comes out at." Nathan said as he smacked Quinn in the behind playfully. Quinn jumped at the sensation before she turned around and followed Nathan upstairs.
"You know…I kinda like it when you do that." Quinn said as she ran a hand through her hair.
"Well I kinda like it when you bite me…so it measures out well…we both like a little pain with our pleasure." Nathan raised his brow.
"I think we figured that out last night…" Quinn said. Nathan just smiled before leaning down to kiss her quickly. He walked into his room and sat his desk, opening up his laptop. Quinn sat on Nathan's mini-couch at the foot of his bed, turning on the T.V.
"The next movie is at 3:45. We can go to that one if you want." Nathan said, his eyes still on the screen.
"It's…." Quinn looked at the clock, "12:02 right now. but yeah. 3:45 sounds good. What do you wanna do till then?" Quinn said looking at Nathan.
"Whatever you want to do…I don't really care." Nathan said before he stood up to go over too her.
"Whatever?" Quinn raised one of her eyebrows
"Again? We did it like 5 times last night…" Nathan said kneeling down in front of her.
"It's fun being a girl…we can go forever almost…" Quinn said as she ran her fingers through Nathan's hair and rested her hands on his shoulders. Nathan's hands were running up and down Quinn's calves before he ran his hands up higher pushing her legs farther apart. He looked at her seductively before leaning up to kiss her.
"Let's test this theory…" he said before he moved his kisses to her inner thighs. He avoided leaving any more hickeys and just kissed each one tenderly. His fingers moving up to the hem of her underwear, curling around them before pulling them down Quinn's legs. Quinn bit her bottom lip as she watched the scene unfold. His lips leaving wet kisses on her inner thighs, his hands coming around to grab her ass.
"w-we sh-should move up to the bed…" Quinn stuttered as his lips moved closer to her hot center. Nathan stopped and looked up at her, straightening up for a bit.
"I want you to watch me." Nathan said before he went back between her legs. He nipped at her outer lips before taking one long, slow, lick through her wet slit. Quinn gasped loudly, her hands going to the top of his head. He continued for the next 45 minutes, just taking slow licks and nips, thrusting his tongue in and out of her, but never giving her release. Quinn had a good layer of sweat all over her body now, the pressure building up inside her almost to much to bare at this point.
"Nathan…please just…" Quinn moaned out. Nathan just groaned and kept licking her before speaking against one of her inner thighs.
"Please what…I thought you could go forever…" Nathan said as he nipped at her inner thighs.
"This is torture…" Quinn panted out pushing herself into his mouth.
"Tell me what you want Quinn…you have to be specific…" Nathan said playfully before giving her one firm lick.
"Please…just let me cum Nathan." Quinn pushed out finally. Nathan brought his lips up to her clit and sucked hard. Quinn came instantly, her fingers tugging at his hair harshly, making Nathan groan loudly, causing an even better sensation for Quinn. Nathan kept sucking lightly before licking up all she had to offer.
"50 minutes babe…I think that's a record for you…" Nathan said lowly, kissing up Quinn's neck. Quinn couldn't answer, she was still coming down from her high, she just nodded and swallowed hard, trying to catch her breath. She would swear that she was seeing stars after that.
"I'm gonna shower. I'll see you in there? I mean once you get the feeling back in your legs." Nathan joked before walking over to his bathroom.
Quinn joined him a bit later and after they both got dressed, ended up playing Halo: Reach on the Xbox for a while.
"When are Henry and Riley getting back?" Quinn asked as she kept her eyes intently on the screen.
"Uh…tonight?...something like…tha…FUCK YEAH HEADSHOT!" Nathan said excitedly, jumping up in his seat slightly. Quinn just frowned at him before laughing at his enthusiasm.
"Sometimes I wonder why I'm with such a dork…" Quinn said as she rolled her eyes. Nathan paused the game quickly and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Excuse me? do I have to remind you about what happened the last time you played Black Ops with me?"
"so I was telling Santana that she had to watch her back handsprings because she's putting to much pressure on her right wrist…" Quinn started as she was playing Black Ops with Nathan one night.
"oh and what did she say?" Nathan said looking at the screen looking for his perfect opening.
"well before she said anything I said she was probably gonna roll on her wrist really bad if she kept doing it…and then she was like…get off my ba….OH MY GOD! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM! YOUR CHEATING!" Quinn stood up quickly pointing at Nathan.
"What are you talking about! You totally walked into my claymore!" Nathan shouted frowning.
"Point taken…" Quinn said with a nod. "Movies now then?" she said putting down her controller.
"Yeah. There is one more thing though. I have another surprise for you, after the movie. So your gonna have to be blindfolded again." Nathan said.
"Nathan you've already done a lot for me…" Quinn started.
"It's just dinner. But the venue is a surprise. I promise it's nothing to fancy. Just something special. Trust me." Nathan said with a small smile.
"I trust you." Quinn said before following Nathan downstairs.
The movie was just about 2 hours long with the previews. Quinn had cried a couple of times from laughing so hard. And she even snorted once, which she didn't do often unless something was truly funny. Nathan thought it was a cute attribute, and only made him laugh harder.
"Seriously one of the funniest movies ever…" Nathan said as he walked out of the theater with Quinn.
"The scene with the French bread was hilarious!" Quinn said laughing again. Nathan just admired her, he always found her laugh infectious.
"what?" Quinn said calming down and giggling slightly, noticing Nathan staring at her.
"nothing…you just look really pretty when you laugh…" Nathan smiled as he held her hand on the way through the mall. Quinn blushed slightly before she felt Nathan bring up the hand he was holding and left a soft kiss on the back of her hand. Once they got to the car, Quinn knew what was coming up and watched as Nathan took the bandana out of his pocket, placing it over her eyes. She noticed that the drive was long, so she had no idea what restaurant was even this far away.
"Are we there yet?" Quinn whined.
"Almost. 5 more minutes I promise." Nathan chuckled lightly.
"how about now?" Quinn said jokingly.
"I will drop your ass off in the middle of nowhere Quinn Fabray" Nathan answered back.
"On my birthday? That's so mean…" Quinn said laughing.
"don't tempt me…" Nathan said with a small smile. After about 7 minutes they arrived at the country club. Nathan quickly texted Judy letting her know that they were there.
"Okay there's a step here…so watch out…" Nathan said as he led Quinn to the front of the clubhouse. Quinn was completely lost, she heard the opening of a sliding door and she held on to Nathan for dear life.
"Okay…take off the bandana." Nathan said to her seeing the crowd of people in the room. Quinn pulled the bandana down to see all her friends and their familes there yelling out,
"SURPRISE!" everyone shouted.
"OH LORD!" Quinn jumped slightly placing her hand over her heart in surprise before starting to laugh hysterically.
"Happy 18th Birthday sweetie." Judy said approaching Quinn, giving her a tight hug. Tears of joy filled Quinn's eyes. She had honestly thought that people had forgotten her birthday because of the lack of texts and calls. But she saw all of her friends there, giving her hugs and congratulating her for her birthday. Her sister and brother-in-law were there as well.
"Happy birthday sis." Gwen said giving her sister a hug, her baby bump now showing even more. George gave Quinn a hug as well.
"How's the baby doing?" Quinn asked, placing her hand on her sisters stomach. She smiled feeling a small kick from her soon-to-be nephew.
"Obviously kicking like crazy. But he's healthy and supposedly right on schedule to be due at the end of July." Gwen said rubbing her stomach.
Nathan was talking with the Glee guys as they huddled around the appetizer table.
"So you packing up for California?" Mike asked as he grabbed a couple more shrimp from a bowl.
"Yeah. I think Quinn said she was going shopping with the girls and Kurt for clothes. I already have a bunch of shorts and tees so I'm set. What about you two?" Nathan nodded towards Finn and Puck.
"Rachel and I went shopping today cause she said we needed something cool to wear to the parade…but other than that I'm all good." Finn said as he grabbed another bacon wrapped scallop from one of the trays.
"Me too. I mean not that I need to dress up, just a bunch of muscle tees, show off these guns." Puck said flexing his arms. How Puck managed to wear a tie, and a button up shirt with the sleeves cut off was amazing, Nathan thought.
"Quinn, where'd you get that ring?" Mercedes asked as she sat with Quinn, Kurt, and the other Glee girls.
"Nathan gave it to me last night as my birthday present." Quinn said showing the ring to the girls.
"ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?" Brittany said excitedly.
"babe…that's when it's on the left hand…" Santana corrected her.
"It's a promise ring…it was really sweet…" Quinn blushed.
"Spill it Q. we all wanna know." Santana said. Quinn told the girls the story word for word. All the girls were so into the story.
"That's so romantic…" Rachel said as she looked at the ring again.
"Yeah…it was…I…I really thing he's the one." Quinn said.
"You really love him don't you." Tina said with a smile.
"I do. I don't think I've ever been this happy with anyone. He makes me feel special." Quinn said looking down at the ring.
"Don't ever tell him I said this. Because if you do, I'll deny it. But I like him. For you I mean. I see how happy he makes you, that he takes care of you, that he helped you through your whole…depression thing. It's almost so adorable it makes me want to vomit." Santana said playfully.
"only you can start saying something sweet and just kill it at the end…" Quinn rolled her eyes and smiled at her best friend.
"And you love me for it." Santana winked at her.
The rest of the party was amazing. Most of the kids danced and talked the night away. Quinn thanked everybody who came, completely happy with her life at that moment. Shelby even came with Beth, and although it was a bit awkward for Rachel, she took it well and even played with Beth and Riley.
The party came to an end too soon. And soon it was just Quinn and Nathan back in Nathan's room.
"So did you enjoy your Birthday?" Nathan asked as they lay in bed together.
"Best birthday yet. Thank you for everything today Nathan, I don't know how I'll ever make it up to you." Quinn said running her hand over his cheek. Nathan grabbed her right hand and ran his thumb over her ring.
"You wearing this ring. And you being here with me in this moment, makes everything worth it Quinn." Nathan whispered softly. Quinn scooted closer and kissed him chastely.
"I love you Nathan." Quinn said rubbing small circles over his brow with her thumb, moving them to his temple. Nathan closed his eyes at the feeling before leaning in to kiss her again.
"I love you too. Happy Birthday baby." Nathan said before they drifted off to sleep.
