The McKinley hallways were crowded with seniors and juniors, all of which were talking about random topics ranging from the game that was two weeks away and how this year was going to be their year, last minute essays that were to be handed in today and the latest gossip of the week.

Quinn was at her locker, looking absentminded at the contents inside. She didn't sleep well last night, as all she could think about was Rachel. She tossed and turned in her sleep as she remembered the kiss they shared and she felt herself yearn for more of those kisses, to kiss those sweet lips for eternity while they were in each other's arms. Quinn thought about Rachel so much that without meaning to last night, while she slept, she had decided to explore herself and think about Rachel in a more different light.

She had thought of Rachel as the typical naughty school girl, dressed in a short plaid skirt that cut off mid-thigh, wearing knee-highs. Her Upper Body was completely bare. She wasn't wearing a Bra or a billowing pure white buttoned down shirt that hung loosely over her arms, just her bare skin. Rachel's skin had looked radiant and soft to the touch, like she was the embodiment of the fiery sun that watched over the blue sky and something about her eyes reminded Quinn of the Roman goddess Hera, how they seemed to know something that she didn't.

It wasn't often that Quinn had wet dreams, but this one would stick with her for the rest of her life. The way Rachel had looked so innocent and mischievous as she was bent over a mahogany desk sucking on a cherry red lollipop made Quinn tingle in different places. The way her voice had sounded so seductive to her ears when she had decided to whisper what she wanted her to do to her, and the way her laughter rang like angels singing from the heavens was enough to make Quinn moan aloud in her dream and wake up, with her panties feeling slightly damp and her body glistening with sweat.

Quinn flustered and bit down on her bottom lip as she remembered the wet dream again and picked up one of her school books. She could hear herself imagining Rachel's sexy moan when she had spanked her and Quinn's whole body shivered.

Focus Quinn, focus on something else other than Rachel Berry thought Quinn, and she nodded to herself.

"Hey Quinn"

Quinn froze and she could have sworn that the heating had been turned on full blast in the McKinley hallway, making the hallways stifling and too hot to walk in. She slowly turned to face the voice of her crush, and she smiled weakly.

"Hey Rachel" replied Quinn, her tone slightly surprised. She didn't think that Rachel would come to speak to her so quickly.

Rachel was wearing a short plaid skirt that cut off mid-thigh (Which made Quinn's cheeks become a light shade of pink) knee-highs and navy blue medium heels that had a flower pattern that looked like a daffodil near the edge of her toes . Unlike her dream, Rachel was wearing clothes on her upper body. In fact she was wearing a knitted toffee coloured turtleneck jumper. Her shoulder-length dark brown hair was tucked neatly behind her ears and fell perfectly on her shoulders, unlike in Quinn's dream when they were up in pigtails.

Rachel's eyes were staring up at Quinn with something that looked like nervousness. Why would she be nervous?

"How are you?" asked Rachel, her voice shaky.

"Uh, good I guess" said Quinn, feeling slightly awkward.

They stared at each other in silence, none of them wanting to speak in the crowded hallway, for fear of being overheard.

In the silence, Quinn noticed things about Rachel she'd never taken interest in before, like how her eyebrows were finely arched and looked like they were recently threaded. The way her ears looked slightly rounded and smaller than normal.

"What did you do after school yesterday?" Rachel asked, breaking the silence between them.

"Nothing, I just stayed at home and watched TV, you know, nothing special. Brittany and Santana came over though" said Quinn and she relaxed, albeit slightly. "What about you? What did you do?"

"I was actually thinking of you and your confession to me" said Rachel, her eyes trained on Quinn's face.

The hallway felt like it was a sauna as Quinn became flustered and her eyes became fixated on Rachel's face. She wasn't expecting this conversation to come so quickly, maybe a couple of days going by, but not the next day. But something else in Quinn stirred. Rachel Berry had thought about her.

"Oh?" said Quinn and she cocked her head to the side as if she was a curious puppy.

"Yeah, I did, and I'm flattered that you think I'm attractive" said Rachel and she put her hand on Quinn's arm.

Quinn gaze flickered from Rachel's face to her hand that was resting on her arm and frowned, her heart dropping.

"But you don't like me that way" said Quinn, not trying to hide her disappointment. She'd seen it in enough movies, the consoling arm touch, the sorry expression in the actor's face and the tone that adults used to tell children that they weren't going to Disney world this year.

"What? No!" said Rachel and she removed her hand from Quinn's arm and let it fall to her side. "I was going to say that I don't mind experimenting. Obviously there's some sort of chemistry between us and I think that we could try it"

Quinn gawked at Rachel, her mind melting from what she was hearing.

"I- wait- You mean it?" said Quinn, smiling like an idiot.

"Of course I mean it Quinn! Unless you don't want t-"

"No! - I mean, yes!" said Quinn cutting Rachel off, at a loss for words. "Of course I'd like to"

Quinn couldn't believe this was happening. But something was bothering her. It was tugging at the back of her mind, waiting to be acknowledged. When Quinn acknowledged the thing that was tugging in her mind, her face distorted in to confusion and her happiness subsided.

"Wait a minute, you said experiment?" said Quinn, and she closed her locker door and leant back on it.

"Yes, I've never been with a girl before Quinn so this is new for me"

"Neither have I" said Quinn, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Really?" said Rachel, her tone surprised.

"You're pretty much the first girl that's made me question my sexuality" said Quinn, her voice low enough to be considered a whisper.

Rachel's eyes continued to stare at Quinn's face, before she looked down at her hands. "I'm glad that you haven't actually" said Rachel, her voice as low as Quinns. "When did it develop, your crush on me?"

Quinn cleared her throat and looked down at her shoes, zooming in on the scuff marks on the sides.

"Let's just say it was developed early. Maybe if we're still experimenting I'll tell you when" said Quinn, and she couldn't help but sound slightly annoyed.

Something felt wrong about how Rachel had said 'experiment', like it was just a phase that was going to go away within the next couple of days, like she was humouring her crush until it wasn't funny anymore. Something in Quinn realised that what she was feeling wasn't a phase. When she watched Santana and Brittany fool around in her bedroom yesterday, instead of mocking them and telling them to get a room that wasn't her own, she had let it continue before doing that, because she was intrigued but also because she wanted their relationship so badly. There was no way this was a phase or that she was just 'experimenting'.

But Quinn knew that Rachel wasn't stupid, so she wasn't surprised when she saw Rachel bend her head low and start to fidget with her hands.

"I didn't mean it like that, it's just that we're still young and-"

"Are you forgetting that you kissed me back to?" whispered Quinn and she leant forward, her eyes staring into Rachels.

"I-I-Yes" Murmured Rachel, her voice sounding embarrassed and she started to back away slightly. "I know I kissed you back but it was in the heat of the moment!" she looked up at Quinn and ran her fingers though her hair.

"What do you mean it was in the heat of the moment?" asked Quinn, confused. "You could have easily pulled away; you didn't have to kiss back"

"Well maybe I didn't want to pull away then" said Rachel, her voice low. "Everything was happening so fast that I couldn't understand what was going on" Rachel put her hand on Quinn's arm again and smiled. "I'm sorry Quinn; I didn't mean to upset you or anything. Can you forgive me?"

Quinn's looked down, trying to hide her smile. Rachel Berry was apologising to her and asking for her forgiveness, something unheard of even to her. Quinn was thinking if she should forgive Rachel so easily, after all she wasn't expecting this conversation to happen so quickly. But she also didn't know what she should forgive Rachel for. Rachel wasn't doing anything bad, not really. She was just as confused about this whole situation as much as Quinn was, even more so. Rachel obviously didn't mean to upset her; Quinn could tell that from the way she was looking at her. Plus, how could she not forgive her? What with those hazel eyes watching her.

As Quinn rose her head, about to say it was fine, she spotted someone pat Rachel on her shoulder

"Hey Rachel!" came the voice of Kurt and instantly Rachel dropped her hand from Quinn's arm and looked up at him, smiling slightly.

"Hey Kurt" said Rachel, giving him a quick hug.

"Hey" said Quinn, feeling her mood deflate. What an annoying time to interrupt.

Rachel and Kurt started talking about the latest rumour that had hit the McKinley hallways. Apparently a senior was caught with two teachers in the janitor's closet. Quinn wasn't paying attention to the conversation; she didn't really like rumours anymore. They were tacky and weren't her thing. Sure, she'd spread a couple of rumours before but ever since a Rumour had got out saying that she and Finn bathed in fish guts and that's why Finn's breath always smelled like tuna, she decided it was time to stay away from them.

"Me and Blaine are actually going to breadstix tonight!" said Kurt and he started to blush. "They have something new that he wants to try out so I was wondering if you wanted to join us?"

"Absolutely!" said Rachel, smiling. "Hey Quinn, did you want to come with me?"

Quinn looked up at Rachel, feeling her heart pound in her chest and the blood pulsing in her ears.

"Huh?" said Quinn.

"I said do you want to come with me?"

"Like a Date?" asked Quinn, going red.

"Do you want it to be a date?" said Rachel smiling. Rachel's voice had sounded strangely sultry, reminding Quinn of Santana's voice and she contained a shiver that ran down her spine. "Although we wouldn't be alone, it'll be a double date"

Quinn felt light headed. Her cheeks literally felt like they were on fire from all the blushing she had been doing. She stared at Rachel with her mouth hanging open.

Rachel Berry was asking her on a date. Well Double date, but it was a date nonetheless. Quinn didn't know what to think, her mind was literally all over the place.

"I-uh-sure- I mean yes" Quinn stammered and she started grinning.

"Great! Consider this an apology for what I said, and hopefully we'll get to know each other even better than we do now" said Rachel, and she smiled slyly.

Something about Rachel in those last few seconds had made Quinn lust after her even more. The way she sounded different than when they were speaking earlier. The way she had sounded more confident in her words . . . more sexy and flirty. It reminded Quinn of herself, when she was talking to one of her potential dates. The Rachel Berry in front of her radiated power from her every pore. And Quinn liked it.

"We'll meet at breadstix at seven o'clock sharp if that's okay with you?" interrupted Kurt, who didn't look mildly shocked at what was going on in front of him.

"That's fine by me. What about you Quinn?" asked Rachel, and she looked at Quinn with a playful smile.

She's killing me slowly thought Quinn.

"That's fine by me also" she said, still grinning.

"Perfect! I'll make sure to wear something nice for you . . . hopefully you'll do the same for me" said Rachel and she put her left index finger on to Quinn's lips, before sliding it off her lips like what she had done to Quinn's thigh yesterday in glee club, and turned on her heels and walked away, Kurt by her side. "See you at seven Quinn!" Rachel shouted back at Quinn.

If it wasn't for the crowds of people in the hallway, Quinn would have feinted there and then. Instead her knees wobbled slightly and she had to prop herself up on to her locker. Quinn licked her lips slowly, savouring the taste of Rachel's finger. It tasted of cocoa butter creaming lotion, mixed in with Quinn's strawberry lip gloss.

Quinn inhaled deeply, and closed her eyes.

"I'm going on a date with Rachel Berry"

o.x.o.x.o.x.o.x.o

"Is she looking back at us?" asked Rachel, walking ahead and trying not to look back.

"No she's actually leaning against her locker. She looks like she's about to feint" said Kurt sounding shocked.

"Did I do well?" said Rachel, looking at Kurt's face.

"You did everything perfect to a Tee. Nice touch with the voice and finger to lips thing" said Kurt, and he looked down at her fondly like how an older brother looked at their younger sibling.

"Thanks, I learned from the best" said Rachel smiling and she held her head high. "Now, what do I wear for my date with Quinn Fabray?"
