Rachel was woken up by a sudden stop, unfortunately Noah's driving had made her a little sick.

As she got out, she couldn't help but really take in the amazing house.

6 bedrooms, with 3 bathrooms, 1 ' man cave ', 2 balconys, and even a small mini kitchen! And that was only upstairs of the house!

Downstairs, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 huge living room and even a study hall, which Rachel had no idea what Noah or even his dad needed that for.

As Finn took her bags upstairs to one of the rooms, Rachel looked around the yard and her breath was taken away. A hot tub and pool sitting nicely under the sun in New York City, the yard was protected by a huge brick wall With a cute garden surroundingthe
/house.

She walked upstairs passing everyone who was also facinated by the house.

" Rach?! Isn't this amazing, me, you, glee club... I guess. But anyway! This could be the time babe " Finn said with a goofy smile on his face.

She couldn't help but feel a little sad, instead of him just enjoying their time together, all he wanted was sex.

" Finn, I have told you countless times, I am not ready. I just wished you wait " She saidwith much exhaustion, she was so tired of the same conversations with him, it was as if he just didn't care and all he wanted was to get off.

" Rach, you promised soon. Don't you love me babe? " Finn said as he pouted, trying to put on a cute face but Rachel thought of it more as annoying.

"Finn, you know I hate it when you use that against me. I love you very much, but I made a promise to myself that I would wait till marriage. So if you love me, you'd let it go. If not, the door is there " she stated with such force, she knew deep
/down that wasn't the reason she didn't wanna ' seal the deal ' with Finn, but it was a lie she was gonna take to her grave.

Finn walked away sulking, mumbling something about going to the pool room to hang with the guys.

As exhausted as Rachel was, she walked to the dresser and stared at herself. ' why can't I be in love with Finn, he's so goofy and kind.. At times. He makes me laugh and he would be the perfect husband. ' she thought as she took off her make up.

She found herself starring at the beautiful blonde that was leaning against her door, starring straight back at her through the mirror.

" How can I help you Quinn? " Rachel whispered, still in a daze from those hazel eyes.

" Have you ever felt something, that you wasn't suppose to? " Quinn answered back.

" Yes, I once got a b- on my essay about how I am meant for Broadway, but the teacher thought I was being conceded. I truly believe I should've gotten an A+, I still cannot believe- " Rachel stopped talking after she heard a little giggle coming from
/the Blonde.

" I meant, did you ever feel something for someone you weren't suppose to, someone everyone would judge you for liking " Quinn said in a voice so small, it frightened Rachel.

" Well, I don't think it should matter what others think about your relationship with any guys. I have learned that girls will talk behind your back even if you didn't do what they are accusing you of. And sometimes, you have to follow your heart. "

" Its all I've ever know, to be accepted and follow the rules "

Rachel went to get up to approach Quinn, but she was gone. She had no idea what Quinn was talking about, but all she wanted was to hear more.


Rachel came downstairs to find majority of everyone in theirswim clothes, as Santana and Brittney wear very thong like bikini's. She thanked her dads for letting her be a little more conservative, as she was wearing a light blue two piece bikini.

Everyone walked out side and immediately jumped into the pool, not believing this was how there vacation was gonna start.

As for Quinn, she lookedbeautiful, as she sported a two piece bikini with it being all red, she also had red lipstick on, driving anyone who looks at her crazy. She was basically your American looked quite stunningwith

her legs in the pool as she splashes water with Britt and Santana.

Sometimes rachel wished she looked like Quinn, jealous of how much easier her life is with her looks and how love will be on her front steps everywhere she goes.

" Rach, get in the water. It feels amazing! " Brittney screeched as Noah picked her up on his shoulder, as Finn picked up Santana to start a ' chicken fight '.

" Yeah, come on Rach, get in the water. " Quinn said with a smile, her white teeth shinning bright into Rachel's eyes, making her heart skip a bit.

" Of course Quinn " Rachel beamed back, settling next to Quinn anddipping her feet into the water.

' Wow,does this feel great. I am so glad school is almost over, all this stress is killing me. ' Rachel thought.

Rachel opened her eyes to see that everyone in glee was smiling, or at least laughing. She couldn't remember the last time everyone had so much fun, she couldn't remember when she EVER had fun.

" Are you ready to take over New York in a year? " Quinn asked as she leaned back, soaking in all the sun.

" Oh yes, I already applied 3 times, this year " Rachel said with a smile " Broadway has a star on the way and they better be ready " she said with a twinkle in her eye.

" Don't worry Rachel, you're already a star. Once you get that pretty face on the streets of New York, everyone will fall in love with you " Quinn said, starring right into Rachel's eyes.

She couldn't help but feel intimidated by Quinn, she was so confident, so ready for anything and she knew where her life was going, there was no doubt or fear. And for the life of Rachel, she just couldn't understand.

" Well, I hope they do fall in love with me and I'll keep running till the right one comes along. Then everything will be perfect " Rachel said as she put her sun glasses on, feeling the great vibes from everyone.

" Right one huh? I thought that was Finn " Quinn teased looking over at Rachel with her sunglasses hanging between her finger tips.

Rachel blushed, hard. So she decided to do the right thing, dive straight into the water and cool off. She couldn't believe she even told her that, she was hoping Quinn wouldn't use that as ammo against her.

As she went to the other side of the pool, she was met by Finn running out of the pool mumbling mailman over and over. She looked around and everyone was laughing, she hated when Finn would do things like this, made her feel less about her attraction.

" Hey Jewish babe, you might wanna get your boy toy, he might be having some trouble down stairs " Noah snickered, barely holding in his laughs.

" Noah you know it is not nice to do that " Rachel said with barely a care in the world. With that she walked into the house, feeling the stare of a certain blonde following her every movement.


Later that night, everyone decided that drinking would be the best idea. Noah said they were celebrating for their past, the present and their future. But personally Rachel felt as if Noah might be a little drunk.

Finn, was getting drunk at the pool table with Noah, losing every game he had. It was still early but majority of the glee club was drunk.

Tina was all over Mike, Artie was getting lost in music with Mercedes, Jake honestly felt like the man with Brittney and Santana dancing in his lap.

Rachel wasnt into the whole, ' let's get black out drunk ' but she did drink about a glass or two and she was feeling a little tipsy. She tripped her way to the back yard by the pool, taking off her slippers, she dipped her feet in the hot tub.

The sky was full of stars, the air was cold but felt comforting as if the world was telling her that it was full of possiblities.

She closed her eyes and let her mind run wild, enjoying this feeling she can't quite figure out.

" Are you not enjoying the party " Quinn said, taking a seat next to Rachel.

" QUINN,LEARN NOT TO SNEAK UP ON ME! " Rachel dramatically said.

" I can't help it, you get so lost in your mind, I'm just trying to pull you back down from the clouds "

" It's hard, when all you do is put my heads in the cloud " She said quite loudly, but not really regretting the words.

" Is that so Rachel Berry? ".

" Yes it is Quinn ".

" I like it ".

" Good " Rachel said as they fall into a comfortable silence but deep down, she couldn't believe what just happened. She was pretty sure Quinn Fabray just flirted with her and well.. She kind of liked it and she hoped Quinn would like it too.

" How are you and Finn doing? "Quinn said after some time.

" We're alright, I don't know how I feel about him anymore cause every time i look at him, there's no spark anymore " Rachel said with emotion, you could tell her heart felt nothing for Finn and it sadden her very much.

" Well sometimes, you gotta let go right? "

" I guess, it's just- " Rachel was interrupted by Noah.

" Princess, come get your boyfriend. He's throwing up everywhere and I think he's starting to cry " As Noah said all in one breath and it all sounded like slur.

Luckily for Rachel, she already knew the routine, meaning it was time to get back into the real world and take care of her ' boyfriend '

" Good luck Rach and sweet dreams star " Quinn whispered softly against my arm.

" Star? I like that. Good night Quinn, I'll see you tomorrow " Rachel replied softly.

Heading upstairs to her almost passed out boyfriend, Rachel started feeling really dizzy due to the alcohol. She couldn't believe she told Quinn any of that and she still couldn't believe Quinn was ' flirting '

It was flirting right? Or so Rachel thought, she could barely sleep that night, so lost in thought, so lost in those hazel eyes that have captured her attention since she first met her.

Soon enough sleep caught up to her and her dreams were filled with beaches and a certain beautiful blonde.


Well there you go! Chapter 2, now let's clear some thing up.

Note 1: Noah and his dad are very close and the dad is rich from being a con artist.

Note 2: Rachel and Quinn's friendship before this was neutral, meaning there was no enemies and they just kept to themselves.

Note 3: I will edit these later adding into Quinn's thoughts.
