"I can't believe I'm 25 years old and already getting a divorce." Aubrey cried.
Chloe tried to comfort and calm her friend down.
She had rushed over to Louie's Bar after Aubrey had called her and told her she caught her husband cheating on her. She knew Frank was a bastard.
"You're too good for him, Aubrey." Chloe trying to soothe the blonde.
"Like my dad always said,"If they can't see what's right in front of them, pack your bags."
Chloe frowned in confusion. She would never understand or how to respond to anything Aubrey's dad has told her.
"Screw it, Can I get a shot of tequila?"
Aubrey waved the bartender over.
"Oh no, sweetie we're not in Cancun." Chloe said trying to get Aubrey to change her mind. "Maybe a vodka cranberry or water?"
"No, Chloe, I need this." Aubrey waved her off.
"I don't think the answer here is to get wasted, let's just try to relax." Chloe tried again.
"Do you see how pathetic I am? I know everyone thinks I'm a bitch but I'm not." Aubrey said accept her drink from the bartender.
"Of course, not sweetie. Nobody thinks that."
Chloe cringed as she watched Aubrey throw back her drink. It looks like tonight was going to be one of those nights. She had to let Aubrey unwind and make sure she didn't get into any trouble.
"This would never happen to you. You're gorgeous, sweet and bubbly. Anyone would be a fool to let you go, but me..." Aubrey rambled.
"That's not true. Frank was just an asshole. You didn't do anything wrong. You deserve way better than that prick." Chloe said.
"I am done with men. Maybe I should be a lesbian like you Chloe."
"Actually, I don't really classified myself as a lesbian. I only been with one girl..." Chloe argued but she notice her friend wasn't even paying attention to her and was staring at something or someone across the bar.
"Oh, she's pretty."
Aubrey ignoring Chloe as she spotted a blonde talking to a brunette across the bar. She stood up and made her way towards them before Chloe could react.
"Oh no," Chloe ran to intercept Aubrey before she embarrass herself or worse get beat up by these girls.

"I can't believe you are assistant editor for GQ, before you know it you'll become the editor in chief one day." Santana told Quinn having all the faith in the world in her longest friend. Quinn will always strive to be on top. It was in her nature.
The two friends were out celebrating Quinn's promotion.
"It will be years before I make it that far." Quinn said raising her drink to Santana's. "Thank you though, S. It means a lot."
"Hey I know you'll be awesome. One day they'll even take away G and it would just be Q magazine."
"Hey girls," Aubrey interrupted the long time friends.
"We were in the middle of something, and I am not in the mood to be hit on right now by a sloppy drunk sorority girl," Santana sneered.
"I'm so sorry, my friend is drunk and she's had awful day." Chloe tried apologizing finally catching up with Aubrey but not soon enough to prevent the interaction.
Santana raised on unamused eyebrow and the girls.
"Stop Chloe, I can take care myself." Aubrey said trying to stand on her own brushing Chloe's hand away from her. "I wasn't hitting on you, señorita. I was trying to talk to your friend here."
"She's not interested." Santana replied.
"What? She can't answer for herself." Aubrey spat back.
"Oh my god, Aubrey stop please." Chloe said embarrassed.
"Look, I'm not going to tell you again. Back off..." Santana took a step towards the intoxicated girl.
"S, stop." Quinn got in the middle of the drunk girl and Santana before the situation blew up.
"I'm so sorry, she's not normally like this. She's not even into girls."
Chloe was trying to pull her friend towards the door. Quinn watched the redhead struggling with her friend who was fighting to get loose and Chloe was having trouble getting a good hold of her.
"You should take your friend home." Santana suggested trying to keep her cool.
"I'll go home when I want. And what I want right now is to talk to your friend." Aubrey spat.
"Aubrey! Stop!"
Chloe's night was definitely turning out bad.
Quinn stood slightly in front of Santana in case the Latina decides to over-react and hurt the other blonde. She definitely did not want to make a big scene and be once again thrown out of another bar because of Santana's short temper.
She looked at the struggling redhead who was having a hard time containing her intoxicated friend. She could definitely relate. There were plenty of times when Santana had managed to get herself in the same state the tall blonde was in. She had to play the same role Chloe was currently in. She couldn't help but sympathize with her.
"It's okay, S." Quinn silently asking her to calm down and go along with her.
Santana rolled her eyes. Quinn was being nice, a characteristic she developed in college and something she would never get use to. She was always use to the HBIC in high school.
"Well, Aubrey and Chloe, I'm Quinn and this is Santana." Quinn introduced charmingly.
Chloe was so embarrassed. Of course her friend had to choose the prettiest girls in the bar.
Santana watched as Chloe face was flushed. The Latina could already see she was already smitten by Quinn. She would never understand how easy and flawless Quinn can charm everyone. She makes it seem so effortless.
"Can I buy you a drink?" Aubrey smiled at Quinn before she smirked victoriously in Santana's direction, who in returned scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"We already got drinks." Quinn raised our glass to the blonde. "But there's this cafe I know around the corner that's opened where we can sit and get some coffee."
Chloe gave her an appreciate smile when she realize what the blonde was doing.
"That sounds great." Aubrey smiled in victoriously.
"Well, You girls have fun. I'll see ya Q," Santana said finishing her drink. "I'm sure Brit is waiting for me."
"Tell Britt I missed her tonight." Quinn requested. Unfortunately the other blonde had a late rehearsal and couldn't help them celebrate.
Santana nodded.
"Congrats again." She said before she left the bar.
0000000000000000
"So what were you celebrating?" Chloe asked the blonde.
On their way to the cafe, Aubrey stopped at a nearby alley way because she started to feel sick.
"A job promotion." Quinn answered.
"Do you think she needs help?"
Quinn could only cringed when she heard what was slapping on the pavement.
"Oh she does this a lot. Trust me you don't want to be anywhere near her. She can't control it. And it gets everywhere." Chloe said nonchalantly as she absentmindedly rubbed her arms when she felt a slight chill.
"Here," Quinn took of her jacket and offered it to the redhead.
"Oh no, I couldn't do that to you." Chloe waved her hands stopping the blonde's offer.
"I don't mind. And you seem to have your hands full taking care of your friend, but you deserved someone looking out for you as well."
"Thank you," Chloe accepted to coat and couldn't help herself as she instantly relaxing from the warmth and refreshing scent of the blonde.
"No problem."
"So what do you do?"
"I work for GQ Magazine." Quinn answered.
"That's great. Congratulations. Sorry we crashed your celebration."
"It's fine. I rather like talking to you than getting trashed at the bar." Quinn flirted causing the redhead to blush.
"So why was today awful for you friend, if you don't mind me asking?" Quinn inquired.
"She caught her husband with another woman and is divorcing that douche bag. I think this is great news because he was such an asshole to her, but I can't tell her that."
"Right. Never tell your friend that you were right all along when it turns out you were in fact right. I'm sorry to hear about that." Quinn said genuinely.
"She's never done this. Picking a girl up at the bar. She's not even gay. But thank you for helping me getting her out of the bar. I can't imagine what else she would have done." Chloe said not knowing what was going in her friend's head tonight and thankful that Quinn was cool about.
"No problem."
The two girls fell into comfortable silence came as the wanted for the blonde to empty her stomach on the concrete.
Quinn was stealing glances at the redhead and Chloe would blush when she her eyes would lock with those hazel eyes.
"What about you?" Quinn said taking a step forward.
"What?" Chloe asked shyly as she notice Quinn was standing closer to her than before.
"Are you involved with anyone?" Quinn whispered as she was leaning closer to the redhead.
Chloe's heart was fluttering when she realize that Quinn was going to kiss her. She couldn't help herself as she stared at the blonde's lips. She slowly shakes her head and closes her eyes anticipating the blonde's move. She can fell the blonde soft breath on her face.
"Wait Aubrey likes you." Chloe whispered trying to think straight.
"Like you said she doesn't even like girls. And I think you are absolutely gorgeous." Quinn smiled.
She let her hands fall to Chloe's waist holding loosely on the her own coat that she gave the redhead to pull her close to her body so there was no space between them. She let her head fall slightly capturing Chloe's upper lip. She moan at how soft her lips were. She smile when she felt Chloe responding as the redhead's cold hands came up to cup her face.
Chloe's hand was in tangled in the blonde's hair pulling her closer. Quinn didn't have to ask permission as she slipped her tongue into Chloe's willing mouth causing a muffled moan to escape. Quinn pushed her gently against the wall to kiss her deeper losing herself in the kiss. She let go of the redhead's lips and leaned her forehead against Chloe's as she tried to control her breathing. She bite her lip before she dived back in for another taste.
"Chloe, I feel awful."
Quinn and Chloe pulled apart quickly when they heard Aubrey walking towards them. Quinn's eyes followed the redheads tongue as she lick her lips tasting the blonde. She instantly became addicted to the redhead's lips and definitely wanted more.

Present
Chloe pulled up to the construction site in the east village of Manhattan were she was meeting Rachel Berry for the first time. She stepped out of the cab and she recognized the brunette, who was on the sidewalk talking to her assistant.
"Miss Berry?" Chloe called out to get her attention as the brunette was facing away from her.
Rachel stop her conversation and turn to where she heard her name being called.
"Chloe, right?" Rachel asked as she reached out to shake the other girls hand.
"Yes, nice to meet. I'm really excited to be working with you on this project."
"Well I was really impress by your portfolio. I really wanted a personal relationship with the designer because I should warn you I'm very particular about my things and heard you were the girl for the job." Rachel said.
"Well thank you for even considering me. I'm going try to make this process as easy and less stressful for you while giving you a beautiful home that you have in vision."
"Let's go upstairs and do a walk through of the house." Rachel smiled already liking the other girl's enthusiasm.
"That sounds great."

Quinn sighed, straighten out the imaginary wrinkles on her dress before she knock on the door of her best friend's apartment.
"Hey, here's the wine Brittany asked for." Quinn said when the door opened to reveal Santana.
"Am I early?"
Quinn raised an amused eyebrow at the Latina's disarray appearance. It was evident that the two were in the middle of having sex. Which the blonde was not surprised. The last time her fiends were separated for a long period of time, their reunion consisted of a two week sex fest.
Which was why Quinn was a little surprised on why Brittany has arrange a welcome back party the first day the Latina was back and the next day arranged a dinner party with her and Chloe. She just past it off on the blonde really miss the get togethers the four of them would have before Santana had to travel so often.
"Shut up. Where's Chloe?" Santana tried to segue way the conversation while subtly fixing her hair.
"She got caught up at work so she's going to be running a little late, and is that a hickey on your neck? Are you guys 15 again?"
Quinn walked in her friends apartment and hanging up her coat then headed for the kitchen.
"Imagine being away from Chloe for 3 months." Santana replied fixing her hair to cover up the hickey the blonde had pointed out.
"Yeah but a hickey?"
Santana glared at her.
"Just drop it."
Quinn held her hand out in surrender.
"Did you have chance to talk to Chloe yet?" Santana asked opening the wine that Quinn brought.
"No, I tried calling and texting but she replied with her being super busy today." Quinn said defeated.
Santana nodded understanding. The four of them had turned out very successful in their own right and oftentimes their schedule didn't always compute with one another.
"You know I had time to think about it today. I can't believe I'm saying this but you were right. I was being a little ridiculous. I shouldn't be stress at all. Whatever Rachel and I had was over 10 years ago. That's a decade. And I love Chloe and I love my life. Chloe would understand the reason I never brought up Rachel because it never mattered." Quinn said.
"I glad you feel that way." Santana smiled evilly.
"Why are you making that face." Quinn said scared.
"Unlike you and Chloe and despite me being away from my girlfriend for 3 months, Britt and I actually had time to talk to each other." Santana said.
"Please get to the point Santana." Quinn said not amused.
"Did you even ask yourself how Rachel could have got in contact with Chloe? I know how naive you are in trying to past this as a coincidence or the world is out to get you but Britt had a workshop with Rachel 2 weeks ago and they caught up and Rachel told Britt she was trying to find an interior designer for a house she just purchased in Manhattan and my girl recommended Chloe."
Quinn mouth gaped as she sat their in shock.
"Why didn't Brittany tell me this?" Quinn said a little hurt.
"Lately we've all been a little busy for each other." Santana said.
"Come on don't make me feel guilty about that, S." Quinn pleaded.
"Hey, I'm not pulling a guilt trip on you. I'm guilty as well. I have to travel to Florida for three months and I probably need to go back in a month to make sure Sebastian isn't having sex with all our male clients. I'm just saying we're not able to hang out and tell each other everything like we use to." Santana shrugged her shoulders.
Quinn agreed nodding her head and thinking about what her friend said. They were such a close net group of friends and now that their career has taking off, it limited the time they spent together. Quinn never realized it until this moment.
Santana took a sip of her wine and gave Quinn a moment to let the information sink.
"Look I hate to drop this on you last minute but Brittany also invited..."
The door bell rang before Santana could finished.
"Oh... That must be Chloe." Quinn put her glass of wine on the counter before heading towards the door excitingly. "Can you believe I proposed to her almost 24 hours ago and I finally get to see her."
"Wait.." Santana tried but it was hopeless as her blonde friend had already opened the door.
"Hey Bab..." Quinn heart dropped as she stood there shocked. Standing in front of her was the not her fiancée as she expected.
"Babe, You haven't called me that in years." Rachel smiled as she took advantage of Quinn's shocked frame and walked past her into the kitchen to greet Santana and Brittany.
"I wasn't..." Quinn tried to explained. As she closed the door and followed the petite brunette into the kitchen.
"I guess you were expected Chloe." Rachel said as she observed Quinn's surprised expression.
"Yeah." Quinn said slowly trying to take in the situation.
"Well, when your fiancée got done with me, she said she had to run back to the office to finished some paper work. So she should be here any minute." Rachel explained nonchalantly as Brittany finally came into the room.
"Hey Brittany." Rachel walked forward to give the dancer a hug. "Thank you so much for recommended Chloe. We had a great first day meeting. I think she's going to work out really well."
"Your welcome Rach. Chloe's the best. I know she'll take care of you." Brittany said before turn to greet the other blonde.
"Hey Quinn." Brittany greeted the stoic blonde. "You look pale."
"She's just in shocked, baby." Santana said handing Brittany her wine glass.
Quinn felt 3 pair of eyes staring at her, waiting for her response. Luckily she was saved by the bell.
"I'll get it." Quinn let out a uncharacteristic squeaked that cause her to receive weird looks from everyone in the room beside Rachel who was giving her an amused look. Quinn was shocked on how Rachel just walked in her with such ease and familiarity. She quickly walked back to the entrance way hoping to god that this time she opened the door she would see her fiancé.
"Hey sweetie," Chloe said as she saw Quinn on the other side of the door.
"Hey," Quinn stepped forward and pulled Chloe into a crushing hug.
Chloe was surprised by the abrupt hug, threw her arms around the blonde's neck, returning the embrace.
"What's going on." Chloe said still locked in the embrace.
"I haven't seen you since last night." Quinn said holding her even tighter.
"I know, I'm so sorry I had to run this morning..." Chloe was cut off by the blonde's lips.
"You don't have to apologize." Quinn said when she pulled away from the kiss to leaned their forwards together. She just wanted to breathe and Chloe presence always calms her down. She took a step back and pull the door close to the apartment so she could have a moment alone with Chloe before they went inside.
"What is it?" Chloe watched confused as Quinn closed the door. "Did Santana cook again? Her food is too spicy for me. I don't want to be rude and not eat..."
"No, no..that's not..." Quinn interrupted.
"You have that worried look on your face. What is it?" Chloe asked as she intertwined their fingers.
"Okay, um I don't know why I haven't told you this before but I didn't want to go in there without being honest with you and..."
"Is this about Rachel?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah."
"I know about Rachel. I know you guys dated in high school. That was 10 years ago. She's a friend of Brittany's and now she's a client of mine and I have no problem with."
Quinn looked confused.
"I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. I'm sorry I'm acting like a spaz. This is all hitting me at once. I mean in the last 24 hours my best friend comes back from Florida, we got in engaged and then Rachel shows up, someone I haven't seen in 10 years. It's a lot to take in." Quinn said.
Chloe smiled. In the 3 years they been together she has never seen Quinn at all flustered.
"I know baby. Just relax. It's just dinner."
"You are okay with this?" Quinn asked with bewilderment. "Chloe, I don't want you to ever be uncomfortable. We can leave, S and Britt would understand."
"You and Rachel were the past. I know you love me and we're getting married. I trust you, Quinn." Chloe said as she pressed her lips over Quinn's. She instantly felt the blonde relax in the kiss. Quinn was the first to pull away. She absentmindedly was rubbing her finger over the ring on Chloe's finger.
"I love you."
"I love you, too. Now let's face the music before Santana starts yelling in spanish and accuse us of having sex in her hallway."
Chloe pulled on the interlocked fingers towards the entrance of their friends apartment.
000000000000000000000000000
Quinn watched with distress as her fiancée and her ex-girlfriend socialize with ease as if they been friends forever.
Quinn had zoned out of the conversation and observed with bewilderment on how these two women were getting along so well.
Chloe was always friendly to everyone and didn't have a mean bone in her body but Rachel is the one surprising her tonight. She and Rachel didn't really exchange any words with each other since she greeted the little brunette at the door.
She was so in shocked that she didn't get the chance to take in diva's appearance. Rachel was still has beautiful has ever. The baby fat in her cheek has transform into an elegant structure. Her smile was still as radiant then she remembered. As she watched how the brunette threw her head back and laughed, Quinn felt the warmness inside her just from the familiar sound. It was like music to her ears.
As she loses herself staring at Rachel, she didn't realize there were 4 pair of eyes staring expectedly at her and the conversation at the table had stop.
"Why is everyone staring at me?" Quinn asked catching Santana's smirk.
"Honey, Rachel asked you a question. Are you alright?" Chloe asked feeling Quinn's forward s if she was coming down with something. "You look a little warm."
Quinn grabbed Chloe's hand from her forehead and intertwined them under the dining table.
"I'm fine." Quinn gave her a smile to hopefully ease her worries.
"What was the question?" Quinn asked Rachel avoiding her eyes.
"I was just congratulation Chloe on your engagement and was wondering how you proposed?" Rachel asked softly that made Quinn make eye contact with the brunette. She caught a small shakiness of the brunette's voice that she was sure nobody else heard. She knew the brunette with silently berating herself even though nobody probably caught it but Rachel always love the control in her voice if not nothing else in her life.
"Umm... It wasn't grand proposal or anything. I went back and forth with a lot of ideas. I couldn't really come to a conclusion without being tacky or insincere."
Quinn was now looking at Chloe and tighten her grip on their interlocked fingers. It was strange and awkward telling your ex, who you thought you were going to end up with, how she proposed to another women.
"When I came home, I saw her in the kitchen, and I just felt so happy that I knew that all that matter was this feeling and I wanted to propose to her right then because that was the feeling I wanted to remember when I think about when we decided to join our lives together."
"Aww. Baby." Chloe swooned.
"That's so romantic." Brittany gushed.
"Gross."
Quinn rolled her eyes. Of course Santana would ruin the moment.
"And of course before Santana could come over and ruin one of the most important moment of my life."
Out of the corner of her eyes she saw Rachel's face drop slightly but the brunette recover so quickly that she thought she imagined it.
"These two are the most cheesy people I ever met." Santana said.
"Santana, didn't you once wore a duck outfit to one of Brittany's student's 3rd birthday party." Quinn said.
"Shut it, Fabray."
"Alright guys." Chloe stopped the two immediately before it got quickly out of hand as they are know for. She watch as Brittany rubbed the Latina's arm in an effort to calm her which always works.
Rachel smiled as she felt a little bit nostalgia at the two friends spat insults at each other.
"She looked like Big Bird." Rachel heard Quinn muttered under breath. Rachel smiled as Quinn always wanted the last word. Chloe must have heard it as well Rachel thought as she caught the redhead giving Quinn a small playful nudge on her elbow for her cheap childish retort. Which cause Quinn to retaliate with a push of her leg to connect with Chloe's and started an all out footsies war under the dinner table.
Rachel turn her attention to Brittany as attempt to distract her from watching Quinn flirt with her fiancée . She felt she was intruding in on an intimate moment between the two. She couldn't help but experience a pain in her heart that she was not expecting. She thought all her feeling for the blonde has disappear in the last 10 years.
Her feelings for Finn were completely gone and she dated the dubious boy longer than she dated Quinn. That didn't stop Finn coming to New York when he got bored of his life in Lima and tried to romance the brunette only to get denied multiple of times. She felt that Finn only wanted her when he got bored or something in his life wasn't going right.
After Quinn, Rachel had a hand full of guys that she dated but none of them ever stuck long enough. None of them could hold her interest.
"Hey Rachel, I ran into Finn and Kurt the other day. Is Finn staying with you while he visits?" Brittany asked. She missed her old Glee friends.
Quinn stopped her movements as Brittany question got her attention.
"You still hang out with that douche?" Quinn asked.
"Quinn!" Chloe chastised.
"Not that it's any of your business, but Finn visits Kurt once in a blue moon and I'm cordial but in no way do I have any form of relationship with Finn romantically or platonically." Rachel answered.
"I'm glad we're finally in agreement about Finn but I was referring to Kurt." Quinn said.
Quinn and Kurt had never gotten along. Kurt still holds resentment from the Cheerio's since the whole slushy faze. He particular couldn't stand Quinn. She would never understand this because most of her slushy attacks were aim at Rachel who later forgave her and even dated her.
Even when Quinn, Santana, and Brittany change over a new leaf and join the Glee club, he still had this hateful attitude towards her. She would never understand nor does she care.
"Kurt is my best friend and has been since high school." Rachel replied.
Quinn rolled her eyes. All Kurt has done in high school was to steal Rachel's ambition and made her feel guilty about it everything she had accomplished. She remembered when Fancy Pants ran for school president and Rachel later decided to run against him and he tore her up about it.
"Whatever."
"What is your problem with Kurt?" Rachel asked. She also never understood in high school what her best friend and girlfriend constantly fought about.
"Nothing." Quinn said as she took a sip of her drink.
Brittany and Santana sat back and both sighed. They have been around Rachel and Quinn long enough to know when things were going to blow up.
Chloe sat back confused. She has never seen Quinn argue like this. She knows Quinn has held a lot back from her past from her and there was things she was aware of that the blonde had done and has regretted. She never thought that the details were important because she knew how kind hearted her Quinn is now and she could never imagine Quinn being a bully in school.
"How is porcelain?" Santana asked trying to break the tension.
She figures as long as Rachel and Quinn aren't communicating one on one, there were less chance of an argument to erupt.
"He's great. Thank you for asking Santana."
"Does any one want any dessert?" Brittany asked trying to break the tension. She looked around the table waiting for a response. Not receiving anything, started to clear the table.
"I'll help you babe." Santana said picking up a few items, leaving the three girls by themselves.
Quinn glared at Santana as the Latina followed her girlfriend to the kitchen. They were the only buffer she had between Rachel.
Hearing Finn and Kurt's name really irritates the blonde. Rachel thought maybe 10 years has passed and Quinn would let all that ridiculous bickering go but she has clearly mistaken.
Chloe was apprehensive of the situation. The tension between the ex-lovers was palpable enough to cut with a knife. From the conversation she had with her fiancée in the hall, Quinn had suggest that she would be the one to potentially be uncomfortable but it was the blonde who looked very unease at the moment.
"So, how long have you two love birds been together?" Rachel breaking her glare with the blonde.
"3 years." Chloe smiled.
"Hmmm." Rachel said pensively.
"What?" Quinn frowned. She didn't like her former lover's tone.
"Nothing." Rachel shrugged her shoulders. "Have you set a date, yet? Or are you guys going to wait another 3 years?" Rachel asked trying to get under her ex-girlfriend's skin.
"Opposed to the minuscule time that you were engaged to a guy that feed you meat and also gave you a pig in Africa that you pay $2 a week to fatten it up to feed to an African family as christmas present and completely obliterated one of the most important fact about you?" Quinn spat back.
She wasn't going to sit here and let Rachel judge them. Rachel always brought the HBIC out of her.
"At least I wasn't the one who had a pregnancy scare my sophomore year." Rachel wasn't going to back down.
"But you did attempt to lose your virginity to your boyfriend because you thought it would improve your acting skills in a high school play like a cheap..."
"Quinn!" Chloe chastised thankfully stopping the blonde before she could say something really hurtful.
Silence filled the room and Quinn can feel both women staring daggers at her. Quinn felt guilt tug at her insides, regretting letting Rachel rile her up so easy.
"Well, we all made mistakes in high school. I'm glad you're not the same cold-hearted cheerleader." Rachel said snidely as she stood up from the table.
Quinn finally met Rachel's eyes and was surprised to see the tail end of Rachel's angry expression settle into hurt.
"I think I've out-welcomed my stay. Chloe I'll see you on Thursday to go over some more plans. It was good seeing you, Quinn." Rachel went into the kitchen to say her goodbyes to Brittany and Santana.
Quinn regretted her words when she saw the impact it had on Rachel. She didn't want to hurt her feelings. She watched the brunette walk out of the room, leaving her with her fiancée, who she can feel staring at her with a perplexity look on her face.
She didn't know what to say to Chloe.
"If your going to berate me then..."
"Who are you?" Chloe asked not recognizing this side of the blonde that she had witness tonight.
"I didn't mean to be hateful, but Rachel... started it." Quinn frowned to herself as the words came out of her mouth. She sounded like child.
"Very mature." Chloe rolled her eyes. "You need to apologize to her..."
"Absolutely not."
"And you need to get over the animosity you have towards. She is my client. And I'm predicting she's going to be in our life for awhile now, so I suggest you fix this." Chloe said sternly that Quinn rarely hears.
Quinn felt completely blindsided from the whole situation. She didn't know how to react and before she could stop herself she turned her residual anger at Rachel and the situation toward Chloe.
"You knew Rachel was my ex." Quinn accused.
"Is this a test? Why did you accept Rachel as one of your clients?" Quinn said as Chloe was staring at her with disbelief. "I proposed to you yesterday, and then your pulling this shit on me?"
"Who are you?" Chloe asked again not believing what Quinn was accusing her of.
Chloe stared at her fiancée incredulously shocked at what the blonde implying before she explained.
"I got a called from Rachel saying that she got my number from Brittany. It wasn't until today when I went into her apartment and notice a picture of her high school glee club that had my fiancée in it. That's how we found out about each other."
Quinn sat there with another wave of regret flowing inside her.
"I should have found out from you when I mention her name last night."
The two sat quietly for a moment.
"Chloe, I'm sor..."
"Save it." Chloe held her hand up to stop Quinn's apology.
"I'm going to stay at Aubrey's tonight."
"No, wait." Quinn tried.
"I've never seen this side of you, Quinn. This ugly, hateful person you were tonight. I feel that there's so much I don't know about you. Maybe we should think about this before we..."
"Don't say it, Chloe." Quinn warned.
Chloe looked down at her beautiful ring. She started crying when when she slowly pull the ring off and set it on the table.
The ring hitting the table was so loud in Quinn's ear.
"What are you doing?" Quinn said finally realizing there were tears on her face.
"I don't want to go through a marriage and find out little bit of these hidden secrets of you that your not willing to tell me beforehand. They only end up in divorces. So ask yourself, can be truthful to me and are you willing to share every aspect of your life with me? When you are ready I will gladly accept the ring back."
Quinn watched through her tears as her now ex-fiancée leaves the room. She can faintly heard the muffled sounds in the kitchen. She sat alone at the dining table blurry look at her abandon ring Chloe left, trying to figure out how this all happened.
She was engaged for less than 24 hours.

A/N: Honestly, I've kind have had a hard time writing this story. I'll keep it going because I like the challenge of completing this although I might have lost some interest in it so the content might not be great.
Thank you for reading and please review, the motivation really inspires me to continue in a more timely manner.
