Chapter 2

Quinn rubbed her sweaty palms against her dress nervously and took one more deep breathe before she answered the incoming Skype call on her Mac.

A couple of days ago, she had an interview for potential internship in New York at a very popular Law Firm that she was recommended to by her Dad's old friend. She has been keeping it a secret from everyone especially her mother. If she didn't get it she didn't want her mom to make a big fuss about it which she knows that's exactly what her mother would do.

"Quinn Fabray?" She hears as a face pops up on her screen.

"Yes. How are you doing?" Quinn smiled warmly at the screen.

"I'm doing well. Thanks for asking." He replied.

"I don't want to drag this out. So let's just get to it. James Flood has highly recommended you to this firm and you dad was a respected lawyer as well. You are more than qualified and you charmed everyone at the interview. When can you start?"

"What?" Quinn asked shocked.

"Congratulations!" He smiled encouragingly.

Quinn immediately snap back into being professional.

"Thank you. Thank you so much. I can't wait to go to New York." Quinn tried to keep her excitement contained.

"Excellent. You will be getting an email shortly entailing everything you need to know when you start at the end of summer. Welcome to Brooks and Deacon's Law Firm."

"Thank you again!" Quinn expresses her gratitude once more before ending the call.

The blonde sat still in her bedroom for a second, trying to take this in.

She was going to New York.

A smile creeped on her face as realization was started to sink in. She knew the first person she wanted to tell the news to.

Quinn patiently knocked on the familiar door and waited for the one particular inhabitant of the house to answer.

The blonde was never had to initiate a meeting or pursue a girl before, but she finds herself everyday at these very doorsteps waiting for the gorgeous brunette to answer.

She found it thrilling.

It made her body fill with glee knowing that any second she would see Rachel's beautiful face.

She has playing the role of a friendly neighbor as Rachel requested and finding that she has quite enjoyed getting to know the petite singer without the intention of finding a way to getting her in her bed. Don't get her wrong, she has thought about Rachel in a sexual manner but there was something more she felt for Rachel. Something that she can't describe. It was an unknown feeling.

Before she could put more thought in why the brunette was causing her heart to flutter by the very sight of her, the door had opened.

"Quinn, It's always such a pleasure to see you." Rachel greeted.

Quinn smiled.

Nobody spoke the way Rachel does. It was almost magnificent as her singing. And Quinn found that charming.

"I think it would be more pleasurable if you saw me naked." Quinn flirted.

She couldn't help herself. They were friends but Quinn would always flirt.

Rachel blushed bright red. Never getting use to someone so enamored by her. In high school, no one really paid attention to her. And now she has the most beautiful girl she had every laid eyes on, complimenting her on how beautiful she was.

"You're a charmer. Is this the reason for you visit? To get me into your bed? Because we've talked about this, haven't we?" Rachel raised an amused eyebrow at the blonde.

"I would have to be a moron, if I stop trying to get the most gorgeous human being I have ever seen in my bed. But that is now the reason I came by today. I mean it can be, if you're up to it?"

"You will never get me in your bed." Rachel smiled playfully.

"Never say never."

Rachel and Quinn stared at each other lightheartedly challenging the other. Rachel was always tempted to fall for the blonde but she didn't want to be another notch in her bed. She had more pride and self loved than that.

"The reason?" Rachel asked breaking their stare.

"What reason?" Quinn suddenly forgot why she was here.

"Did you hit your head? Why are you here?" Rachel asked amused.

"Oh... yes.. I wanted to ask if you would like to join me running an errand for my mother. Since you two get along so well, you probably make sense of this list she gave me." Quinn produce the list to show Rachel.

"It looks like a simple trip to the market, which your mom does regularly." Rachel raised her eyes questionably at the blonde.

"Yes. It look like it. But you forget my mother's age and carelessness. She planning another get together with the piranhas and she forgot a few items."

"Piranhas?"

"The book club." Quinn simply answered.

"You don't like them."

"They don't like me."

"Ah..." Rachel nodded understandingly.

"So what do you say?"

"I'm driving." Rachel smirked.

She had taken a liking to Quinn's Audi.

Not the blonde.

Or so she tells herself.

"I love animals more than anything but why are we at a dog shelter?" Rachel asked confused as Quinn leads her into an animal shelter that looked nothing like a grocery store that she thought the were going to.

"So there is an item that wasn't on this list I didn't tell you about. I want to find my mom a puppy." Quinn admitted.

"To cook for her Piranhas friends? Quinn that's evil. I can't let you do that." Rachel said outraged.

"Noooo.." Quinn drawled out calmly as she looked at Rachel like she was insane.

"Oh..." Rachel said calming down. "Good. I'm sorry I panicked a little.

"Yeah. I doubt they're going to let me adopt now with your little dramatic outburst." Quinn joked.

Rachel lightly smacked her arm.

"Nobody heard me. I wasn't making a scene. So we're good."

"You thought I was going to somehow give my mom dog meat and let her serve it to her friends? How would I do that exactly?" Quinn asked amused.

"Shut up." Rachel said slightly embarrassed.

"Do you think I'm that evil?" Quinn teased.

"Stop." Rachel warned.

"No, I'm very interested on why that idea came to your head..."

Rachel clamped her hand over the blonde's mouth interrupting her teasing which she know could go on for awhile.

"I'm sorry. I prematurely thought that you were going to slaughter an animal and feed them to your mother's friend. Now can we move on?" Rachel pleaded.

Quinn grinned with happiness shinning in her hazel eyes.

Rachel swallowed thickly as she suddenly aware how close she her body was to Quinn. She closed her eyes as she could smell the blonde's sweet fragrance gently passed her nose. Rachel felt her pulse quicken just by their closeness and her palms were getting sweaty.

When she felt the blonde nodding her head, she slowly removed her hands from the blonde's mouth and her eyes watched as Quinn slowly licked her lips. She internally groaned as she saw a flash of a pink, wet tongue. She finds herself always fighting the urge to grab the blonde by her neck and kiss her.

Rachel shook her head as she tries to get rid of those thoughts and took a step back from the blonde.

"I'm sorry." Rachel apologized.

She finds herself more embarrassed than she was before.

Quinn grabbed the brunette's hands and interlocked their fingers, gently pulling her closer. Quinn tipped her chin up to meet their eyes. Sometime it was hard to decipher what the small singer was thinking. At times she felt like Rachel wanted her as much as she wanted Rachel. But sometimes she could never figure it out.

Quinn gently smiled and raised her hand to brush Rachel's fallen hair out of her face. Quinn lean in slowly and smiled when she saw Rachel do the same.

"Can I help you girls?"

The moment was interrupted and Quinn cursed inside her head. Rachel jumped back from the blonde and ran a hand through her hair.

"Yes." Rachel cleared her throat. "My friend is looking for a puppy for her mother."

Quinn glared at the intruder. She didn't feel in the mood to get a dog anymore. She had almost kissed Rachel and it was ruin. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before she address the newcomer.

"I going to be leaving at the end of summer to New York and I was thinking of getting a puppy the accompany her while I was gone..."

"New York!?" Rachel snapped her head to the blonde in shock. She doesn't know why she is so excited but the thought of having Quinn in New York with her was made her very ecstatic.

"Yeah." Quinn smiled coyly at Rachel. "I got an internship at one of the most popular Law Firm."

"Quinn! Congratulations!" Rachel wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck. "I'm going to have another friend in New York."

Quinn took the moment in the embrace to notice how they fit together. Their height difference complement each other perfectly.

"Maybe we can be roommates?" Quinn playfully whispered against her cheek.

"Don't push it." Rachel smiled at how relentless the blonde could be. She would never admit it but she loved when Quinn flirted with her.

"So um..." The unnamed volunteer stood awkwardly as he watch the two girls get lost in their little world.

They slowly untangled themselves from each other and looked at the volunteer that had interrupted them.

"Shall we take a look around?" He asked.

Quinn smiled when she felt Rachel hold her hand.

"Yes."

"Ms. Corcoran!"

Shelby groaned at the voice calling her name. Noah has sought her out more than she could count and she was frankly getting tired of it. All she wanted was to get to her house in peace. She enjoyed her job but today has just been terrible also add to the fact that she hasn't had sex in awhile due to Quinn constantly turning her down.

She thought about finding someone else but she keep missing the blonde.

She sighed heavily before turned around to face Noah.

"What is it, Noah? Everyone should be out of the class. I made sure of it."

When Quinn had asked him to distract Shelby, he thought distract her with sex. But Shelby keep turning him down. So he had to fake being a security guard for the school while she worked and try to keep her at the school as long as he can to give Quinn some time with Rachel.

"Oh, it's nothing like that. I was just wondering if you want to grab a drink." Puck asked.

"No, thank you." Shelby quickly declined and opened her door to her car.

"Just one drink." Puck tried again.

"I have other plans." Shelby lied.

"Oh come on, one drink with Noah Puckerman and I promise you won't regret." Puck flirted.

"What did you say?" Shelby frowned.

"What?" Puck look confused.

"Your name?" Shelby gave him a stern look.

"Noah." Puck looked scared.

"Your full name."

"Noah Puckerman." Puck answered timidly. He can almost see the wheels turning in her head trying to piece things together.

"Puckerman." Shelby repeated to herself trying to remember where she has heard that name before.

"Well, my friends call me Puck."

"Puck." A light bulb lit up above Shelby's head. She remembered her first time with Quinn, the blonde had mention a Puck. She asked if she had slept with a Puck.

"Okay... No drink then. Sorry I bother you." Puck quickly walked away before she started interrogate him resulting in Quinn getting angry with him. And that's something he does not want to do.

Angry Quinn was scary.

Shelby noted his quick departure and her suspicion was growing. There was something fishy going on.

She doesn't know what.

But she's going to find out.

"Should we name him? Or should we leave that to your mother?" Rachel asked as she was holding the Siberian Husky while they got him a few essential items from the pet store. She was slightly getting attached to him every second.

"Definitely us. Mom will probably name him something ridiculous." Quinn said as she strolled through the aisle.

She already had a handful of items in her cart.

"I suppose your right. She did name you Quinn." Rachel joked.

"What's wrong with Quinn?" Quinn asked offended.

"Nothing, It's just a boy's name." Rachel shrugged.

"It's a unisex name." Quinn defended furrowing her brow.

"I never heard of it before." Rachel had a glint in her eye to let her know that she was just teasing.

"I'll have you know that Quinn is my middle name. Lucy is my first name and my mother is the only person that calls me by that name."

"Lucy?" Rachel smiled filled her face as she let the name roll off her tongue.

"You have a problem with Lucy too? Lucille was my grandmother's name."

Rachel lift her head slightly as if she was taking a moment to ponder the name.

"I like it."

Quinn rolled her eyes.

She wasn't really fond of her name.

"So, what did you want to name him?" Rachel asked as petted the small pup.

"How about Kibbles, or Alpo?" Quinn said as she saw bags of dog food behind Rachel.

"Those are names of dog food," Rachel scrunched her face in distaste.

"At one point in your mind you thought he was going to be food." Quinn teased.

"Did you know that Rachel thought I was going to feed you to the gossip queens, huh? Isn't that ridiculous? How can anyone think about hurting you?" Quinn playfully asked the pup who looked at her with big eyes.

Rachel shook her head and nudge the blonde softly.

"How about Alfie or Ollie?" Rachel suggested.

"What about Charlie?" Quinn rubbed the dogs head.

Rachel pursed her lips.

"He looks like a Charlie doesn't he?" Rachel look down in her arms at the silent pup.

"So you Sir are now, Charlie Fabray. How does that sound?" Quinn asked the pup playfully.

Rachel grinned as Charlie loved the attention the blonde was giving him. Even he wasn't immune by Quinn's charm. Rachel couldn't help but be swoon by the blonde's sweet interaction with the new puppy.

"He's so adorable Lucy." Judy said as she played with the newest family member in the living room.

"He's very playful." Rachel added.

"His name his Charlie." Quinn smiled at the interaction. Her mother and the pup connected better than she imagine.

"What's is the reason behind this?" Judy asked a little suspicious of her daughter.

"There has to be a reason." Quinn asked coyly.

Judy turned to address Rachel.

"When Quinn was a teenager she broke the refrigerator-How? I don't know-probability related to her bringing a -"

"Mom!" Quinn stopped her mom was a pleading look.

"I want to know." Rachel was encouraging the older Fabray to reveal Quinn's embarrassing stories.

"Too bad." Quinn told her.

"I guess how doesn't matter but as an apology she worked all summer to buy the newest and latest refrigerator. So forgive me for being a little suspicious of Quinn, even though he is the cutest thing ever." Judy said.

Rachel smiled at the blonde expectantly. She nodded encouragingly towards the blonde.

Quinn sighed.

"Well I'm leaving at the end of summer, so Charlie here will kept you company so your not completely alone in this big house."

Judy frowned.

"So you decided on what you plans are?" Judy asked anxiously.

Quinn smiled.

"Brooks and Deacon has offered me their spot as an intern in New York." Quinn said nonchalantly.

"Oh my god." Judy eyes lighting up in excitement before jumping up and pulling the younger blonde with a crushing hug.

"O..kay" Quinn squeaked out surprised by her mother's strength, slowly returning the embrace.

Judy managed to pull Rachel into the hug too.

"I'm so proud of you." She whispered in the embrace.

"Thanks mom."

"And you guys are going to be in New York together." Judy hugged her tighter. Her dream of her daughter being in a relationship, not only a relationship but with her best friend's daughter, who was so perfect for her daughter.

She couldn't be more happier.

Rachel stepped back and watched the mother daughter interaction, or mostly Judy fussing over Quinn She thought she would be jealous of the relationship they had that she always wanted with her own mother but that couldn't be further from the truth. She was so happy for the both of them.

Quinn caught her eye and rolled her eye playfully at her mother's reaction.

Rachel smiled at her.

"Your mom seems really happy."

"She's deserves it." Quinn said as she walked Rachel out.

"I had fun."

"Thanks for coming with me. We made a great choice with Charlie."

Rachel nodded in agreement.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Rachel gave her a small wave before turning around to leave.

"Wait..." Quinn grasp her wrist gently pulling her back, urging her to turn around.

"Yes?" Rachel looked expectantly at the blonde.

"Is it me, or did we have these moments today where you wanted to kiss me." Quinn said bluntly.

"It's just you." Rachel teased.

Quinn smiled at the lie.

"I'm sorry misinterpreted your actions for signs, that despite the attitude you put on, that you might actually like me."

"I admit that I don't find you to be a complete jerk that I thought you were one we first met, but Lucy don't misconstrue that to me having any feelings for you."

Quinn's stomach flipped at how adorable the brunette looked under her street lamp. The glow to her face highlighted her undeniable beauty.

"So you don't want to kiss me?" Quinn pouted.

Rachel laughed and shook her head at the sight of the blonde's lip jutted out like a child.

She walked slowly towards the blonde to close the remaining space between them without touching. Reaching up she brushed Quinn's hair out of her face. Her fingers slowly trailed down the blonde's skin softly, starting from her cheekbones to those irresistible lips.

Quinn closed her eyes as she was in trance by the gently soothing touches. She unconsciously wetted her lips and leaned slightly forward as she anticipated for the brunette to make the first move.

It took all the strength that Rachel had to bypassed Quinn's lips to gently leaving a whisper of a kiss on the blonde's cheek.

"Goodnight Lucy." Rachel whispered in her eyes before she stepped back and walked away.

Quinn breathed heavily, her face slightly flushed. She opened her eyes to see Rachel already crossing the street.

"Thats...You know... That's not...Very uncool Berry." Quinn stuttered as Rachel left her hot and bothered.

She could hear Rachel laughter echo across the street.

Quinn gently touched the spot on her cheek that Rachel's lip were. She couldn't help herself get giddy at the simple kiss. Why was Rachel creating such a reaction when she had barely touch her. She couldn't understand all this feelings she was having for the singer. It was more than anything she has ever experienced.

Quinn waited until she saw Rachel was safely inside the house before entering her own with a an extra bounce in her step.

She hated when people called her by her first name but with Rachel she didn't mind it at all.

Neither girls realized that an angry and hurt Shelby had witness their whole interaction from across the street.
