Quinn pulled into her driveway about twenty minutes after dropping Jesse off at his apartment building, she quickly cut of the engine, unbuckled, and got out of the car before she went inside. She threw her keys and her phone on the island in her kitchen as she passed through to get to the stairs.
"Santana!" She called from the hallway upstairs as she walked to her room, "San, I'm home." She opened her door and found her friend sound asleep on her bed, with the movie Bandslam blaring on the TV.
"Santana." She said again as she walked over to the girl and gently pushed her, "hey, wake up."
"What?" The girl below her asked her tone very annoyed and grouchy.
Quinn shrugged, "I just wanted you to know I was home. And I thought we were gonna watch Easy A, Are we not?"
Santana sat up, "no, no we will." She pointed to the TV, "let this finish first."
"Okay, I'm gonna get some water, do you want some?"
"Sure."
The blonde nodded before she stood up straight and headed toward the door. She walked back downstairs, and through her home until she reached the kitchen. Then she grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge before grabbing a piece of the pie her mother had made a few days before. She put the pie on a plate and then grabbed a fork before making her way back upstairs.
When she reached her room again she told Santana to sit up and then sat beside her on the bed. "Here." She handed the raven haired girl a bottle of the water and then she began to eat her pie. "You didn't get me any pie?" Santana glared.
Quinn took a bite of the food before shrugging, "you know where the kitchen is."
"But you got me water."
"You can't expect me to do everything for you." The hazel eyed girl lifted her fork as it had a piece of pie ready to eat and she let the fork hover in front of Santana, "take it or leave it."
Santana ate the bite, "thanks." She mumbled her mouth full of the dessert."
"Whatever." Quinn hummed before turning to watch the movie.
Puck had left Finn's house about ten minutes ago, he got tired of hearing the taller boy complain about how he might embarass himself in front of Quinn, or if he should be taking her at all. Then after saying those things he would go back to his outfit and try to decide if he had picked the wrong one or not.
Honestly, Puck really didn't want to hear it.
Or see it for that matter.
So, now Finn was sitting in his room alone staring yet again at the two outfits that he had laid out earlier..."Well, since she doesn't think this is a date, she'll probably dress casually...but it is a date. For me at least. Which means I should dress nicely."
"What's a date?" His mother asked from the doorway.
Finn looked at her, "huh?"
Carol shrugged, "what's a date?" She asked again, "you have a date with Rachel?"
Her son shook his head before saying, "no, not, not Rachel."
"What does that mean?" His mother asked quietly.
Finn sighed, "it's kind of a bit complicated mom."
Carol stepped through the doorway and leaned on her sons desk, "un-complicate it for me then."
Finn sat down on his bed and shrugged, "I love Rachel...I do, I feel like I'll always love her you know. Like, everything wouldn't be complete in my world if I didn't love her." He looked up at his mome to make sure that she was still listening. When he saw that she was he sighed, "I love Rachel...But I love Quinn more."
Carol nodded, "oh, so that's what this is about."
"Yeah."
"Finn, what made you think that you love Quinn more than Rachel?" His mom asked after a moment.
Finn looked at her, "I don't think I love her more mom, I know." He shrugged, "I saw Quinn at the Lima Bean yesterday, she works there now. And she's working with Rachel's ex Jesse st. James, and they were flirting with eachother it seems, and I don't know I hated seeing it." He ended up whispering the last part, "I like felt a pain in my heart, it felt like something was burning a hole in it, and I couldn't do anything about it...he was making her happy, and I feel as though it's my job to do that." He looked at his mom. "Is that wrong?"
Carol shrugged, "well, it can be yes...if you have a date with Quinn tonight, while your dating Rachel, Finn that's called cheating. And after what you went through with both Rachel and Quinn, I wouldn't think you'd be so keen on doing the same thing."
"I'm not cheating on Rachel, Quinn and I are just going as friends...I asked Rachel if I could take her to the movie, because I promised I would...I'm a man of my word mom."
His mother sighed, "it may very well be that you're going as friends, but Finn, if you consider this a date...whether you had Rachel's permission or not, if it's a date to you, then you are in fact cheating."
"I need to choose." Finn whispered.
Carol nodded, "I hate to tell you this Finn, because I do love you. However, what you are doing to those two is bad, going back and forth between them both is gonna break their hearts so much that they're not going to want to be with anyone ever again. They both hurt you in the past, but if you want to you can forgive them and move on. Yet, no matter how hard you try, you can't date them both."
"I know," He shrugged, "I just can't decide who I love more."
Carol shrugged, "who do you think about more?"
"Quinn."
"And who do you wish you could see every day, even though it's not always possible to see them everyday?"
"Quinn."
Carol nodded, "and who's voice do you long to hear when you're feeling sad or lonely?"
"Quinn's."
"Finn, honey, I think it's obvious who you want."
Finn shrugged, "yeah, but...I-I, who do you think I should pick?" He asked.
Carol laughed, "I'm not going to make the decision for you."
Finn sighed, "just answer, please."
Carol nodded, "alright...at first glance I'd probably say Rachel, because she seems nicer, and more mature and more in depth with who you are." She shrugged, "when I first saw Quinn, I figured she would be one of those stuck up girls who think that they are better than everyone else. Then, I realized that I was right. She was one of those girls, yet, she also wasn't. In school she was completely different than outside of school. Outside of school, she let her guard down, if only a little, and she became who she was, and I liked that Quinn. That Quinn was nice, and funny, and just all around wonderful." Carol looked at Finn who was smiling along with her, "Rachel is funny, and nice and wonderful as well." She pointed out, "but she's a little more high maintence than you, and she's not mysterious and you seem like the guy who like's mysterious...your father was that way...and also Rachel talks way to much, and I'm almost certain that you zone out a lot of the time. Rachel's a great girl Finn, but I don't think she's that great for you." Carol nodded, "If it was my decision to make, I would pick Quinn."
Finn nodded, "Quinn." He whispered.
Carol shrugged, "though it is a little weird that your names kind of rhyme."
Finn shook his head, "but they don't."
Carol looked at hs son confused, "Quinn and Finn kind of do honey."
Finn shrugged, "well yeah, but Quinn's name is Lucy."
Carol just nodded, "o-okay."
"Best line in the whole of Bandslam," Quinn said. "That the heck is Will, say hello the heck is Will."
Santana nodded, "yeah, that is a funny line."
Quinn stood up and walked over to her dvd player and opened it to retrieve the movie. After placing Bandslam in it's case she took Easy A and placed it into the dvd player.
"And what's the best line in this movie?" Santana asked.
Quinn shrugged as she pushed play and made her way back to the bed, "I'm not sure, I like the whole...A is for Awesome line and I think the like, best part is in the beginning she's like, ugh, worst song ever! and then she continues to sing it all weekend." She smiled, "I do that all the time."
Sntana nodded, "sing songs you don't like...yeah, Mr. Schuester picks a lot of those."
Quinn laughed, "that's not what I meant."
As the theme song for the movie started Quinn and Santana got comfortable, Quinn slouched down enough to let Santana lay her head on her shoulder, and then she let her own head rest on Santana's.
Jesse back in his apartment, was still happy about getting a semi-date with Quinn. Yeah, he knew it wasn't a real date seeing as he had to clarify that it wasn't, but he would be lying if he said he didn't want it to be a real date.
Sitting on his couch flipping through the TV channels he decided to pick up his phone and call Rachel. He kind of wanted to apologize for the way he had acted toward her this morning. Though, he still felt the same exact way, he realized she probably took it the wrong way. So, he grabbed his cell and he dialed her number.
"Hello?" Was heard across the line.
"Rachel, hey...it's Jesse." The boy whispered.
He could hear Rachel sigh, "oh, what do you want?"
"I just wanted to apologize for the way that I acted this morning." He shrugged, "though, everything I did say this morning is exactly correct, I figured I might have let it come out the wrong way...and for that I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."
There was a long pause before he decided to fix it, "look, if you'd let me, I'd be glad to join you for that two for one deal at that resturant thing of yours."
He could hear the smile in her voice, "really?"
"Yes." He said, "really."
He could tell she was still grinning as she said, "just as friends, Jesse, I swear."
"Great, I'll pick you up around seven."
"Okay, bye."
After hanging up, he felt a little better about himself, he didn't want her to think that he didn't like her at all. In all honesty, he would still love to be her friend. He just really didn't love her in that way anymore, no not really at the moment. Something about Quinn made him smile, and it made him weak, he really was trying to win her over.
It made him feel stupid also, because he saw the way Quinn looked at Finn this morning, and yesterday, hell, even in school. He saw how she always looked at him longingly. Quinn loved Finn, yet, that didn't stop him from developing feelings for her. He just couldn't help it. It's like she was pulling him in, she was some magnetic force and he was being pulled in.
He didn't think that Finn deserved Quinn.
Finn did feel a little better after his talk with his mom, he did still feel pretty bad and he was a bt confused, but all and all, he did feel a little better. So it worked a little more for him in his mind.
His mom liked Rachel.
His mom liked Quinn.
But, his mom had said that she would prefer Quinn to Rachel. And Quinn, was obviously the right choice, if your mother approves, and you feel like you can't live without her...then yeah, she's the right choice.
Yet, theres one slight problem, she's dating Jesse. Finn scowled, Jesse, he really hated that guy. I mean yeah he always had, but now he really hated that guy.
It wasn't enough for him to steal Rachel away from Finn, but now he had to steal Quinn as well.?
Finn sighed as he grabbed his cell phone and he dialed Quinn's number. It rang but he didn't get an answer, after a moment it went straight to voicemail.
He sighed as he tried again. And again. He really didn't want to leave a message, but on the fourth one he decided he would, "hey, Quinn, it's me...it's uh F-Finn...look I have a question for you, and I don't know if you will hear this before I pick you up, I really hope you do though, so you can call me back...I mean if you want to." He shook his head, "please, call me back." He ended the message and sighed, "God, that was bad."
He then went up to the bathroom and decided he'd take his shower early.
"Popcorn." Santana said.
Quinn looked at her, Santana shrugged, and that's what made the blonde realize it was not a question. No, it was a demand. Quinn sighed as she pushed herself off of the bed and she made her way down the stairs to the kitchen to make the Latina some popcorn.
She walked up to the cabinet and grabbed a bag from the opened box, and then opened the package before sliding it into the microwave and pushing the popcorn button. While the popcorn popped she picked up her phone and checked the screen, it said four missed calls and one message from Finn.
With her eyebrows furrowed she put the phone to her ear after clicking on the message, expecting a few words of an apology and a cancel on their movie plans instead she heard his stuttering message.
After she finished her slight giggle fit, she dialed his number, after about three rings there was an answer.
"Hello?" Finn asked.
"Hey, Finn it's Quinn."
She heard him sigh, "good, I'm glad you got my message."
"Yeah, you wanted to ask me something." The microwave beeped and Quinn got the bag out of the small machine before grabbing a bowl and opening the bag.
"Yeah, uh, yeah...I wanted to ask if you were hungry?"
Quinn laughed, "hungry?"
She heard a smack and imagined that Finn had probably smacked himself in the head thinking that what he had said was stupid.
"Yeah," She heard him sigh again, "I was we-well I wanted to ask you..I..."
"Finn." Quinn stopped him.
"Yeah?"
Quinn couldn't help but laugh, "are you asking me if I want to go to dinner tonight?"
Finn chuckled from across the line, "I was attempting it, yes."
Quinn smiled, "well, then sure...that'd be great."
"Awesome, so I'll pick you up at seven...the movie starts at eight, so we'll just swing by breadsticks and eat before we hit the theatres."
Quinn nodded, "okay, sounds good to me." She couldn't help the grin that she was sporting at the moment, "bye."
"Bye, Quinn."
After hanging up the phone and setting it back down, Quinn continued to poor the popcorn into the bowl before walking back up the stairs to her room. "Here you go." She handed the bowl to Santana.
"Thanks," The other girl said before Quinn settled back onto the bed and they resumed watching their movie.
