A/N: So because I've done a few filler chapters, I'm thinking that maybe some of you guys might want a little drama? If so then you've got it. By the end of this chapter your chin will be on the floor from shock;)
Chapter 7.
'Quinn, your friend's waiting for you!' Quinn's Gran yelled up the stairs. 'At least I hope she's your friend, I can't actually remember, because if she's not then I've just let some random stranger into the house...'
Quinn chuckled to herself and bounded down the stairs. She looked at the brunette stood in the doorway waiting for her. 'It is my friend Gran, don't worry.' She looked at the batty old woman adoringly. 'We're going to the little village to do a bit of looking around and stuff, we're gonna get dinner at a cafe. I put some food in the oven for you,' she kissed her Gran on the cheek, 'will you remember it's there for you?'
The old woman waved her hand at her grandaughter dismissively. 'Of course I will. What do you think I am? A crazy lady?'
Quinn didn't answer but smirked at Rachel stood near the door, who grinned back shyly. 'Bye Gran!' Quinn said happily, and the two girls left shutting the door carefully behind them. Inside the house Quinn's grandmother blinked once or twice and then cast a look around the hallway, a confused expression on her face. 'You know,' she muttered to herself, 'I'm sure I was just in the garden...'
'Quinn, look at this!' The blonde turned and to see what the brunette was peering over excitedly. 'They have gold star ones!' Rachel pointed towards a pair of small earrings in the shape of stars.
'Cute.' Quinn murmured.
'I really wish I had enough money.' The blonde heard Rachel murmur to herself before she walked off. Quinn looked at the small earrings, taking a closer look at the price. They were a little expensive, but in Quinn Fabray's world money was no object. Literally. Casting a look about, Quinn walked over to another set of jewellery, hiding herself from the person at the till. One there she yanked off the security label and shoved her hands, and the earrings, deep into her skirt pockets. The blonde then pretended to be interested in the jewellery she had hidden behind for a moment before walking off and joining Rachel.
'Come on,' she muttered in Rachel's ear, 'I'm bored of this shop now. Shall we go get lunch?'
Rachel nodded. 'I'm starving.'
Quinn smirked. 'I know the best place to get food around here, ever.'
The two girls excited the shop and relief flooded through the blonde when the alarm system didn't sound. Sure, she'd shoplifted before. But only small things, never before had she stolen something like jewellery. They turned right and set off up the small winding road and it didn't take them long before they reached the small cafe Quinn had been talking about. They entered and sat down, after choosing what they want Quinn went up to the counter and ordered and left Rachel gazing out of the window they were set next to. The blonde watched the brunette whilst waiting for her change.
When she sat back down, Quinn said, 'They said it wouldn't be a minute.'
Rachel nodded.
'You all right?'
'Yeah.' Rachel sighed. 'I just regret not bringing enough money for those earrings.'
'Oh.' Quinn said. 'Well it's a good job I got them for you isn't it?'
Shocked brown eyes met hazel. 'What?'
Quinn produced the gold star earrings.
'I...I don't know what to say...' Rachel stuttered.
'Well thank you would be a good place to begind.' Quinn winked.
'Yes, I...thank you!' The blone handed the brunette the earrings. 'How did you pay for them? I thought you didn't have a lot of money either?'
'I don't.'
'So how did you manage to-' Rachel stopped, her eyes widening as the clogs clicked turned in her brain. Finally she pieced it all together and, 'Quinn!' She whispered. 'I can't believe you stole them!'
Quinn smiled at the diva's shocked expression. 'It's not that big a deal. Did you see how expensive the rest of the stuff in there was? I'm sure they won't miss a couple of dollars...'
The blonde could see panic writing its way across the brunette's face. 'What if we get caught? What if they have us on CCTV? Oh my God, what will my dads say if I go to prison?'
Quinn had to bite down on her laugh. 'Rachel, the alarm didn't sound as I walked out, nobody's looking at us as if we're criminals. We, or should I say I, got away with it.'
The diva continued to frown but after a while she seemed to relax the tiniest bit. 'They are really nice earrings, I suppose...'
Quinn nodded. 'Yep, and the thrill of being bad is kind of cool, don't you think?'
Rachel tried but couldn't hold back her grin. 'Yeah, just a little.'
Quinn laughed and Rachel giggled quietly. Soon afterwards their food was served, after eating they hit a couple more shops and then decided to head home. The journey home was short but pleasant, Rachel didn't complain about the music, and Quinn didn't crash the car like she had on the way to the beach. When they pulled up outside the houses, the two girl's jumped out the car. When Quinn met Rachel on the sidewalk the blonde thought the girl looked like she had something to say.
'Quinn, I would just like to say thank you,' The diva stumbled over her words, 'even though it wasn't exactly the ethical way of gaining something, thank you for getting me these earrings. They're beautiful.'
Quinn smiled. 'You're welcome.' The words felt odd coming from her mouth, she very rarely told somebody they were welcome.
'I...' Rachel didn't say anything else, but leaned up on her tiptoes and claimed Quinn's mouth with her own. It didn't take long for the cheerleader to respond, her hands found their way to Rachel's waist and she could hear nothing but the violent beating of her heart in her ears. Rachel's hands locked around Quinn's neck and the kissed deepened. Eventually the two girls broke apart, and much to Quinn's surprise Rachel backed away from her as if she'd given her an electric shock.
'Rachel?'
She didn't respond. The brunette touched her lips softly, as if she couldn't believe what had just happened. She wasn't looking at Quinn; her eyes were focused on the ground.
'Rachel?' Quinn repeated.
Eventually worried brown eyes met confused hazel ones. 'I'm so sorry!' Rachel cried, before turning and darting towards her house.
'Rachel?' Quinn asked again. 'Rachel, no! Wait!'
She didn't turn round, she was halfway up the path leading to her house.
'Rachel!'
Still the brunette didn't respond to Quinn's calls. She opened her door and stepped inside swiftly, not even looking back as she closed it.
'Rachel...' Quinn murmured softly. She cast a look around, wondering if anyone had seen but the street was deserted. Quinn sighed, picked up her shopping bags and made her way up the path to the house, her mind whirling with what had just happened.
A/N: I told you there was going to be drama! What do you guys think? You think Rachel should have reacted the way that she did, or that it could have been different? Do you like the fact that Quinn kissed back or...? I know you guys probably can't wait for the next chapter but I might just leave it on the cliff hanger for a bit to keep you interested;) Anyway, tell me what you think I shall take it all into consideration!
Thanks for reading!
