A.N. So this chapter is relatively short by comparison. I think (although don't quote me) there will be three chapters after this one. This chapter gives an outline of how the story will go. I'm pretty excited about finishing it as long as I can do it right. Thank you for following and for your reviews. I had an anon review that I'd like to respond to just to clarify that there is no problem with sleeping around. The Rachel I have been trying to show has been literally using people and treating them like they mean nothing to her. She then made Quinn feel the same by treating her like she was meaningless. It's not the actual sex that's the problem with Rachel it's the fact that she didn't care about any one of the people she's had it with. Speaking of sex could someone mail me and tell me what the ratings on this site mean? I'm from the U.K and I have rated this M because of sex, language etc but I wondered what the next one down covers.

"Ouch. Poor Rachel" Danielle raised her eye brows at Quinn. Quinn had just told her what had happened between her and the brunette the night before.
"What? You're supposed to be on my side!" Quinn groaned and put her head in her hands. "I have no idea what I'm doing."
"I'll tell you what you're doing, you're hurting the girl you love by turning her into a cheap thrill to quench your lesbian thirst."
"I've never once said I loved her!" Quinn exclaimed.
"I'm sorry; I assumed that love is a term used when discussing two BEST friends." Danielle scoffed.
"When did this get so fucked up?"
"This pity party has got to end. You realise you have had a complete role reversal? Yeah Rachel fucked up Quinn but she has dealt with everything since then unlike you who..."
Quinn interrupted her. "Yeah ok I've heard enough. I'm handling things in my own way."
"Pfff so I've been hearing." Danielle laughed and Quinn nudged her.
"Seriously though, don't push her away now that you finally have her." Danielle said sincerely.
Quinn's phone started ringing and the girl pulled it from her handbag and checked the screen.
"It's Rachel." She looked at the screen curiously.
"Well answer it." Danielle suggested impatiently. Quinn huffed.
"Hello." She listened carefully to the voice at the other end. "You're here? Why are you here?" She looked around her with her ear still pressed to the receiver. "Two secs." She covered her phone with her hand.
"Rachel's on campus looking for me." She said quickly to Danielle.
"So tell her where you are! God Quinn it's not rocket science."
Quinn rolled her eyes before telling the girl on the other end of the phone that they were sitting at the picnic benches by the statue on the south side of the campus. When Quinn hung up Danielle started gathering her things as if to get ready to leave.
"Don't even think about moving." Danielle let her bag fall along with her jaw as she spotted the brunette coming towards them.
"Won't argue with that. Wow! And that's with clothes on!"
Quinn turned her head to the direction that Danielle was looking in and felt her heart rate quicken. Rachel looked stunning and easily stood out from the students around her. She was wearing a pair of black jeans that clung to her hips and a white v-neck cropped top that left her perfectly toned stomach on display. The two girls just stared at her.
"Ladies." She looked at Danielle whose eyes were darting from her abs to her chest.
"Honey my eyes are up here." Rachel signalled to Danielle who nodded and looked at Quinn.
"And she has attitude. I'd definitely consider her for my first wife." Danielle said to the blonde who rolled her eyes and cleared her throat.
"What are you doing here Rachel?" Rachel moved forward and sat down beside the unsuspecting blonde leaving no space between them. She moved in and quickly pecked the surprised blonde's lips.
"Baby. We need to talk." Rachel smiled at Quinn and watched as confusion took over the girl's face.
"Ok you can go now." Quinn said quietly to Danielle.
"Aww come on! Things just got interesting..." She eyed the brunette. "Well...more interesting." She was already picking up her bag as she finished her sentence.
"Remember sex in a public place is still illegal...and I have a perfectly good king sized bed just around the cor..."
"Go now." Quinn interrupted and the red head laughed as she walked away.
Quinn turned her expression back to Rachel who looked amused.
"Baby?" Quinn raised her eyebrow. "Since when am I your baby?"
"That's why I'm here." Rachel smirked and turned her whole body to face Quinn. Her legs straddled the bench she was sitting on and Quinn gulped. Was it getting hotter out here? Rachel's scent filled her nose and images of their shower escapade flooded her brain. She almost moaned out loud.
"I'd like to discuss our proposition."
"You mean my proposition?" Quinn corrected.
"No ours. I've realised that all I am getting from your deal is a friendship that may or may not survive the terms of it. I now want to amend these terms and in turn I have come up with a proposition of my own."
"You mean you didn't get enough from it last night in the shower?" Quinn tilted her head innocently at Rachel.
"You honestly think that was enough to satisfy me? Come on Quinn I thought you knew me better than that." Rachel let her tongue glide over her top lip and Quinn just stared at the movement. She shook her head to silence the thoughts running through her mind.
"So what do you want?" Quinn asked.
"One week." Rachel said confidently.
"You want us to fuck for a week?" Quinn asked trying not to let the anticipation effect the tone of her voice. Rachel shook her head.
"Yeah, you wish." She laughed lightly and Quinn's expression turned cold. She didn't like feeling ridiculed.
"No what I want is for you to let me show you what it would be like to have me as a girlfriend, for one whole week." She stopped there to let Quinn assess what she had said.
"How is that different?" Quinn quipped.
"Well for starters there would be no sex." Rachel smirked.
"So you're forfeiting the only term outlined in my proposition?" Quinn challenged.
"I haven't finished. You let me show you how good a relationship between us could be and love it or hate it I'll give you exactly what you want. If at the end of the week all you get out of it is the hottest, most satisfying, mind blowing fuck of your entire existence then so be it."
Quinn's mouth opened and closed. "Do you need time to think about it?" Rachel enquired. Quinn shook her head at the brunette.
"No but I have a condition." Quinn said as Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Name it?"
"You can't sleep with anyone else while we're doing this."
Rachel smiled. "Agreed. But neither can you. In fact no kissing either! If your previous encounters are anything to go by kissing other girls ends up getting you hot for me."
"So all I have to do is play along?" Quinn questioned.
"For the first few days maybe." Rachel said and then bit her lip.
"And then what happens?"
"Then you'll forget that you're only playing." Rachel moved closer to Quinn and brushed the hair from her face. She looked intently into her eyes and held her face as she pressed her lips to the blonde's and kissed her in broad daylight. Quinn pulled away and looked at the brunette who raised her eyebrows in challenge. Quinn nodded her head and moved back in to kiss her. Their lips parted and their tongues met softly. They explored each other within the soft kiss until Rachel broke the kiss and pecked Quinn gently.
"I'm making dinner." Rachel declared standing up. "Text me when you've finished for the day and I will see you at home."
Quinn nodded. "I'll see you at home." Quinn watched Rachel as she walked away. Rachel turned heads as she walked through the campus but if she noticed she didn't acknowledge it. Quinn didn't know what to expect this week but excitement filled her stomach. The end of this week promised only one thing – clarity. She would know one way or the other. The one thing that Quinn couldn't get out of her mind, even by the time it had taken to get to her next class, was the tingles that covered her body when Rachel called her baby.
