True to her word, Rachel invited Quinn to all kind of activities during the first weeks of summer vacation. During those activities, 'awkward-Quinn' made an appearance more than once. When Rachel was either touching her or talking about her boyfriend, inevitably, the blonde girl's body would become stiff and she'd become very quiet.
In time, Rachel learned to stop talking about Finn to avoid the situation, but she was oblivious to the effect she had on the other girl when she was touching her. She was constantly holding her hand when walking, sitting very close to her while watching TV and hugging her at every opportunity. It was torture for Quinn. The good kind of torture, because she was silently enjoying every second of it.
Santana checks up on her almost daily, but she doesn't say much. What would she say? That she can't bear being this close to Rachel without really having her the way she wants to? There is no way she will admit being weak, even to her best friend.
Quinn's phone is ringing, she checks the caller ID: Santana. Again.
"Hello, Satan."
"Q! Britt and I just wanted to check with you. Your friendship with Berry has been going on for a few weeks now. Why didn't you close the deal, yet? You know what? Don't answer that! I know exactly why: you're doing something wrong, for sure. But no worries, I already called Rachel and we are on for a double date tonight. We'll pick you up right after dinner." And then called is disconnected. Quinn sighs, looks like she has no choice.
Since Quinn didn't go to Senior Ditch Day, Santana decided to bring them to an amusement park to make up for it. It happens to be a very romantic outing if done right. Exactly like Santana expected, Quinn and Rachel went on most of the rides together, the brunette clinging to her blonde friend all through them. Quinn even tried to show off her skills and won a teddy bear for her 'friend'. To an outsider, they would look like a couple happily in love with one another.
The pair was now walking in front Brittany and Santana, arms linked, whispering in each other's ear and giggling.
"Look at them, San, they're so cute!"
"I know, B. It's sickening. That's why I don't understand why Berry would choose Man Boobs over Quinn." She said, making a disgusted face when mentioning Finn. "But I'm afraid she'll get hurt by the smurf if she doesn't wake up soon. I almost regret pushing Quinn to get what she wants." She finished, voicing her concerns to her girlfriend.
Brittany's shock is evident on her face. "What? You don't ship Faberry anymore?"
"I still do. I ship them so hard, it hurts!" She answered passionately. "I guess it's just a matter of time."
"You're right. It's clear that Rachel is at least attracted to Quinn. I don't even know how many times she said she was beautiful, because I ran out of fingers." Brittany said, trying to count on her fingers again.
"I know, right? We have to be patient; Berry can be a little slow when it comes to Quinn. Remember that time she was very obvious about her feelings towards the dwarf?"
"Yes, San, I remember. That like, all the time. Since as long as I can remember."
Later that same night, Quinn was preparing to go to sleep when her phone indicated a new text message. She smiled when she saw Rachel's name on the screen. They text each other goodnight almost every day.
From Rachel to Quinn: Can I please come over? I'm sad.
From Quinn to Rachel: Sure. What happened?
From Rachel to Quinn: I'll tell you in person. I really don't want an 'I told you so' in text message. :(
From Quinn to Rachel: OK. Come over. I promise I won't say that, even face to face.
Rachel knocks on the front door and few seconds later, Quinn opens it.
"Finn and I are over." The petite singer says immediately and then she buries herself in Quinn's embrace.

I really like reviews. Just saying.
