All I'm saying is Faberry! And have a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you to my Beta, Comegetit.
I do not own any Glee.
Chapter 7:
The next couple of days went by slowly for Quinn, she had a football game to cheer for on Friday, had Cheerio practice on Saturday, but she didn't hang out with Rachel that weekend. Her mother was concerned with her daughter, so on Sunday she confronted the girl. "Luce, are you okay, why aren't you hanging out with Rachel... Did something happen?"
Quinn looked up from the TV to answer her mum, "Yeah, I told her on Thursday that I like her... And asked her out. She just needs time to think about what she wants to do... So I'm giving her time... We're still going to be friends no matter what the decision will be," Quinn said with a small smile.
Judy nodded and patted the cheerleader's left shoulder, "If you want my thoughts behind it, I think she is going to say yes."
"Really?"
Quinn's mum nodded, "Yes, I've seen the way she looks at you sometimes... And that look isn't a friendship look."
The blonde smiled, "Well I hope you're right mum."
Wednesday came around for Quinn slowly, she hardly had seen the diva throughout her days, she knew the girl needed time so she wasn't stressing. Once Glee Club came around the cheerleader went and sat next Rachel like she always did. Rachel turned to look at the cheerleader, "Hello Quinn, I was wondering if after Glee we could talk?"
Quinn smiled back at the brunette, "That would be great, Rach."
Mr. Schue entered the room and started the lesson. Just before he dismissed them all Rachel put up her hand, "Yes Rachel."
"Mr. Schue, I have something prepared to sing," Rachel stated.
"Well come up and let's hear it."
Rachel nodded and stood up, walking over to stand in the middle of the choir room, "This person will know that I'm singing for them. I don't want us to miss out on a wonderful opportunity and end up regretting it if I didn't take a chance on us," Rachel simply said, everyone besides one in the room was confused.
I see you standing over there
You look around without a care
I pretend you notice me
I look in your eyes
And what ya see
Rachel locked eyes with Quinn when she sang the next part.
Is made up in my mind?
Am I just wasting time?
I think this could be love.
I'm serious.
What if we were made for each other
Born to be best friends and lovers
I want to stay right here
In this moment with you
Over and over and over again
What if this could be a real love
A love, a love, yeah
I write our names down in the sand
Picturing all our plans
I close my eyes and I can see
You, and you ask, "Will you be with me?"
The Cheerio had a massive grin. Rachel moved her eyes from Quinn to look at the other people as she didn't want to have people become suspicious.
Is it made up in my mind?
Am I crazy, just wasting time?
I think this could be love.
I am serious.
What if we were made for each other
Born to be best friends and lovers
I want to stay right here
In this moment with you
Over and over and over again
What if this could be a real love
A love, a love, yeah
Rachel couldn't handle it anymore, so she locked eyes with the blonde.
I don't know what to think.
Is this real or just a dream?
In my heart is where you'll be
I'll keep waiting till we be.
What if were made for each other
Born to be best friends and lovers
I want to stay right here
In this moment with you
Over and over and over again
What if this could be a real love
A love, a love, yeah
You know you really make my heart stop
Stop, stop
Oh, what if this real love
What if this real love
Oh, what if this real love
What if this real love
Oh, gosh, you make my heart stop
You make my heart stop
You make my heart stop
Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Yeah
Oh, gosh, you make my heart stop
Once everyone had complimented Rachel, except for Hayley, she just seem really pissed off, Mr. Schue dismissed the class. Once everyone else left the choir room besides Quinn and Rachel, both girls turned to face each other in their chairs. The Cheerio spoke up, "That song was amazing."
"Thank you, Quinn."
"So ummm you wanted to talk?" Quinn said nervously.
"Yes Quinn I wanted to say that I have thought about what you told me last week," Quinn nodded, and gave her a small smile, Rachel continued, "And I would be honored to go on a date with you."
The blonde was a bit shocked that Rachel said she would go on a date with her, "Really?"
The brunette gave Quinn a massive smile and nodded, "Yes I am... I'm sorry that it took me a while to say yes... I actually wanted to say yes when you left that night... I listened to that song on repeat all night... But I knew I had to give it a lot of thought because I didn't want to destroy our friendship."
"I fully understand... Can I hug you now?" Quinn asked politely. Rachel just giggled and nodded. They both gave each other a hug and while in the hug Quinn spoke up, "So ummm Rach, would you like to go on a date with me this Saturday night?"
Still in the hug Rachel nodded on Quinn's shoulder and then pulled back to look in the cheerleaders eyes, "I would love to... But first I need to confess something," Rachel said nervously.
Quinn looked confused but nodded. "I ummm... I actually overheard you speak to my fathers' last week..."
The blonde opened her eyes wide, shocked at what Rachel said. "I didn't mean too... I was coming downstairs to get a cup of tea but then I heard you talking so I stopped and overheard everything."
"You heard everything?" Quinn asked, still shocked.
Rachel just nodded, scared that this actually might ruin her chances with the blonde. "Why didn't you say anything before?" Quinn asked.
"I didn't want to make you uncomfortable, I wanted you to come to me when you were ready."
Quinn took a breath in and out, processing this and then nodded. "Okay, thank you for telling me."
"You're not mad?" Rachel asked nervously.
Quinn shook her head. "No, I'm not. You didn't need to tell me this, yet you did, I appreciate your honesty."
"So we still have a date this Saturday?"
The blonde smiled and nodded, "Only if you still want to go out with me."
"Of course I do," Rachel said as she pulled the blonde back in for another hug.
Saturday came around pretty fast for Quinn, both her and Rachel discussed that they weren't going to tell anyone besides their family about their date, just in case it didn't work out. So 6:30p.m. came and Quinn was standing on the porch of the Berry residence waiting for someone to answer the door. Hiram opened the door after a couple of seconds waiting, "Hello Quinn, please come in?"
"Thanks," the blonde expressed nervously.
"Honey, don't be so nervous," Hiram chuckled.
"Sorry, this is kind of my first date I've ever been on," Quinn confessed.
"I thought you said you had a girlfriend in Australia?" Hiram asked confused.
"Yes I did, but we didn't really go on a first date, well actually we didn't really go on any dates, we kind of just hung out or went partying."
Hiram nodded, "You'll be fine once you see Rach... She has been quite excited about this date, it's her first ever date."
"Yeah I know, I'm hoping she will love what I have planned."
Rachel then descended from the stairs, and Quinn immediately stopped talking to Hiram and locked eyes with the brunette. Rachel was beaming her Rachel Berry smile while she walked over to Quinn; Hiram moved out of the way, giving the teenagers some space. Quinn was clutching onto a bouquet of flowers. She looked down at Rachel and beamed, "You look beautiful, Rachel."
The brunette blushed. Quinn held out her hand and gave the bouquet of Gloxinia's to the girl. "These are for you, Rach".
Rachel looked up and smiled, grabbing the flowers, "They're lovely Quinn, thank you."
"Their Gloxinia's, they mean love at first sight," Quinn said shyly.
"Awwww... Quinn, I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything... Anyways we better be off."
Rachel nodded and turned to her dad's, "Dad, daddy can you put these in a vase and put them on my bedside table? Quinn and I are going to leave now."
Both Hiram and LeRoy came over to hug their daughter goodbye, "Have fun Sweetie", Hiram said.
"Can I take a picture, baby girl?" LeRoy said with a camera in his hand.
"Daddy!" Rachel whined. Quinn came over to Rachel and wrapped her arm around the smaller girls waist, "It's okay Rach... I don't mind, it's your first date, your daddy just wants to remember this moment."
Rachel was so happy that Quinn didn't think the whole thing was ridiculous, the Cheerio really understood her and her parents. They took a picture and then started to head out the door.
They both walked hand in hand to Quinn's car, the blonde opened the passenger's door for Rachel to hop in. She walked around the driver's side and hopped in, then she turned to look at the brunette, "Thank you for saying yes," Quinn smiled.
"Don't thank me, Quinn. I was never going to say no to this date."
Once they arrived at their designation, Quinn stopped the car and walked over to open Rachel's door. She grabbed the diva's hand to helped her out of the car; Rachel looked up and asked the blonde confused, "Why are we at your house?"
"Well I don't really know any good areas in Lima yet, and I wanted tonight to be special and I wanted us to be free to do anything and ummm... I just wanted tonight to be private and for no one else to be around. My family are actually up in Columbus for the weekend so I thought we could spend the time here, I hope that's okay? I also didn't know if you would be comfortable with other people seeing us... I'm not ashamed at all; I just didn't want the gossip to start before anything became official. That's why I thought it would be best not to tell anyone from Glee as well."
"I think this is lovely," Rachel beamed back.
They started to head into the blonde's house, Quinn then lead them into the room her family chose to call the 'chill out, quite room' because it only had two single chair couches and the fireplace. Blankets and pillows were thrown out in front of the fireplace to make everything look more comfortable and romantic, to actually look like a date.
Quinn and Rachel just stood outside the room, the blonde stood their nervously waiting for Rachel's reaction, the brunette beamed and turned to her best friend, "I think it's perfect for a first date."
The cheerleader beamed, "I'll just go grab the food, make yourself comfortable."
Rachel nodded and then made her way to sit down on the blankets, Quinn quickly went and turned music on and then came back shortly with a massive plate of pizza and two champagne glasses with a bottle of apple cider under her arm.
The blonde set everything down and then looked over at Rachel, "I hope this is okay, it's a vegan pizza…"
Rachel smiled at seeing how nervous Quinn was being, "Did you cook it?"
Quinn gave out a shy smile, "Actually no... I can't really cook, so mum helped me out."
The brunette giggled, she leaned forward and gave Quinn a peck on the cheek, the blonde immediately pulled up her hand to where Rachel's lips just were. "I'd love to cook you a meal one day."
"You can cook?"
"Not to brag but I think I'm a pretty good amateur chef," Rachel beamed. Quinn just laughed, that was such a Rachel thing to say.
"Not to brag? You basically did," Quinn laughed. Rachel grinned, "Okay I guess I did," she giggled. "But I can't help being good." Then both the girls burst out laughing, it was like all the nervousness in the room left.
Quinn and Rachel then started to eat their meal. The two started to get into a comfortable conversation, "So Quinn, I know we've been close friends for just over a month, but tell me one thing you love?"
The Aussie swallowed and looked at Rachel, "Mmmm, well only if you tell me one thing too," Rachel smiled and nodded. "Okay, well I like to sketch."
Happiness filled the brunettes face, "Really? Like what?"
Quinn cleared her throat, "Basically everything besides human portraits, so like sceneries and animals, I just do it as a hobby, no one really sees my stuff, it's kind of just for me."
"Will you ever show me any of your work?"
The blonde blushed a little, "Maybe." Rachel beamed. "Okay your turn," the blonde added.
"Okay, no one knows this, but I love the sound of the ocean, it's so relaxing. I've never been to the beach before but I've always wanted to."
The Aussie looked surprised at the brunette's confession, "You've never been to the beach?"
The brunette gave out a small shy smile, "No I haven't."
"Well I'll take you one day, I love the beach... It's actually one of my favorite places... Maybe we can go next summer?"
"Really?" Rachel said excited, and Quinn just shrugged and nodded as to say 'why not', "I would love that."
Comfortable silence filled the room; they were both content in listening to the music and looking into each other's eyes. Until Quinn asked Rachel nervously "Would you like to dance?"
Rachel smiled and nodded; the blonde stood up and then reached down to help the brunette up. They started to dance to the music, relaxed to be in each other's arms. Rachel spoke up quietly, "Quinn, can I ask you something?"
The Cheerio nodded her head against the brunettes shoulder, "Of course Rach... What is it?"
"Why do you like me? I'm nothing special... You could have anyone you wanted, you're so beautiful... So why pick me?"
"Honestly, when I saw you in that choir room for the first time there was something special about you, you took my breath away... You're beautiful Rachel, both inside and out. I've never thought that way about anyone else." Rachel looked into the cheerleader's eyes and only saw honesty reflecting out of them.
"Not even with Emily?"
Quinn shook her head, "Emily came into my life at a time where I felt lost. You came into my life when I felt like I was finding my way back."
The music changed to a new song and Quinn built up the confidence and spun the brunette around, Rachel squealed in surprised excitement.
What if I told you
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me,
Would you worry
It's almost that feelin'
That we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come and now
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
The two stared into each other's eyes and saw what they both were longing for. Rachel's hands were wrapped around the blonde's neck and Quinn's hands were wrapped around the brunette's waist. The Aussie then lifted up one of her hands and caressed the smooth skin of Rachel's cheek, the two never breaking eye contact.
Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well I maybe dreamin'
But 'till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share
Quinn leant down slowly, searching the brunettes eyes to see if she was comfortable with this move, Rachel moved closer to silently tell the cheerleader she wanted this as much as her. They continued to softly sway together to the music but also moved closer to each other. The blonde then moved her hand that was on the brunette's cheek and placed it to the back of the diva's neck underneath her hairline.
Once their lips touch Rachel gasped at how good it felt, the only other lips she's ever touched was Finn and it surely felt better than his lips, Quinn's were so smooth and soft. Quinn smiled into the kiss, she couldn't believe she was kissing this girl, their lips have just connected yet she already knows this will be the best kiss she's ever had. The blonde slipped out her tongue and ran it along the brunettes bottom lip. This was new territory for the brunette she only kissed Finn with a closed mouth and she is quite happy that that's as far is got, actually if she could take it back she would, she silently wished that Quinn would have been the first lips she touched but she knew she would be experiencing a lot more first with the blonde.
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Rachel slowly opened her mouth, giving permission for the blonde to place her tongue into the brunette's mouth. Once their tongues touched they both moaned out at the feelings that shot through them for the first time. They both started to move their tongues around each others, moving at a perfect pace, neither one wanting to go fast as they were just enjoying the new sensations that were firing through their bodies.
Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Oh, like this
Once oxygen was needed both Quinn and Rachel slowly separated, the blonde waiting a bit longer and effortlessly flicking her tongue up against the brunette's upper lip. Quinn pulled back and looked into the diva's eyes, searching for any regret, but all she saw was blown pupils, the Aussies hand was still placed behind the diva's neck slowly rubbing patterns.
Oh, yeah, I can't believe it's happening to me,
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this.
Quinn woke up the next day with a massive smile on her face, she couldn't believe the night she had yesterday with Rachel, she looked over at the clock and it read 9:03 she knew the brunette would be up so she jumped out of bed and hopped in the shower to get ready for the day.
The blonde rocked up on Rachel's doorstep just after 10:00, LeRoy answered the door this time. He had a massive smile on his face, just like Rachel's. "Hey Quinn, come in," he said politely.
"Thanks LeRoy. I was wondering if Rachel was home?"
"Yes, she's just upstairs in her room. You can go up there if you like... I did hear that your date was fantastic."
Quinn gave a little laugh, "It was great, I'm glad Rach liked it."
The Cheerio made her way up to Rachel's room, see knocked on the door and then slowly entered, closing the door behind her.
Rachel was at her study desk writing in a book when Quinn came in, "Hey Rach," the cheerleader said. Rachel got out of her chair and came to give the cheerleader a hug, "Quinn! What are you doing here?"
Once the girls finished their hug Rachel led them to sit on the edge of her bed. "I came to ask you something."
Quinn smiled and looked into Rachel's eyes, "Ask away Quinn." The blonde grabbed the brunettes hands and enclosed them in hers, "Well I had such an amazing time last night with you, and I know this might be fast but I wanted us to become official, you're amazing Rachel, so what I want to ask is if you would be my girlfriend?" Quinn asked nervously.
Rachel beamed, "Yes! I would love to be your girlfriend, Quinn."
The Cheerio placed a sweet kiss on the brunette's lips. "I want us to be public too Rach, so it means people from school will know... Are you ready for something like that?"
The brunette nodded, "Of course, I have a hot Cheerio to help me out anyways," Rachel giggled, which made the cheerleader blush and laugh.
"Okay great," Quinn replied.
Rachel went to kiss the cheerleader again, and it started to get a lot heated, Rachel was the one that was seeking permission into the Cheerios mouth this time and the Cheerio wasn't going to say no, there were moans and groans going on between the two girls until Quinn knew that it was getting a little out of hand. Of course she didn't want to stop but they just became girlfriends, she wanted to do this right.
So the girls separated, both choosing to go downstairs to watch a movie.
The day was filled with sweet talk, cuddles and kisses. It was perfect for both of them. Quinn said her goodbyes to the Berry's and told Rachel that she would pick her up for school tomorrow. They both knew that they were up for a lot of gossiping, criticizing and judgments tomorrow but they wouldn't have it any other way.
Songs:
What If – Colbie Caillat. I changed some of the lyrics around to fit perfectly with the story line.
A Moment Like This – Kelly Clarkson.
So… First off I hope you all thought the start of their date was a bit awkward… Because I planned it that way on purpose, but as the date went on they both calmed down and it ended up being perfect… Yay they're girlfriends!
Everyone take care and have a wonderful Christmas!
