I am sorry for any mistakes. I wanted to publish yesterday but couldn't even read through. Not feeling awesome today either, but wanted to keep to my deadline, so I hope this works out okay. I have my usual jitters.

"A date?" Santana smirked as Quinn followed her into her room.

"Yes, a full on real date. Its about time too, I thought maybe it was never going to happen between us."

"Ha you'd have waited until Rachel turned 25 if she had said so."

"That may be true." Quinn chewed her lip as she considered it. She would have waited for Rachel, even if it had been a 10 year High school reunion, she still would have been wanting to know what they could be.

"It better be a good date then, I mean all this waiting, I'm sure you have it planned out meticulously, you have to find a way to get into Berry's..." Santana stopped as soon as Quinn arched her eyebrow. "Too soon to be crude?" she chuckled. "So the date?"

"It's going to be amazing. The best of everything. The best flowers, restaurant, car. I want Rachel to know that she is worth it all."

"And then lots of sweet lady kisses?"

"I'm counting on it. There is nothing as good as kissing Rachel Berry."

"Yeah I really don't need to know and can live without the visual too, I'm just glad you got your shit together."

"Do you think Rachel would like gardenias?"

"I have no idea. I expect she'd like something that was bedazzled."

"I could hire a bedazzled car." Quinn said with a little too much enthusiasm.

"You'd look like Barbie." Santana shook her head vigorously and Quinn figured she was right.

"Hmm." Quinn got back to her plans, she wanted it to be the best date Rachel had ever been on, she knew it wouldn't be hard to surpass Finn, his idea of a good night was eating chips and playing zombie ninja's on his xbox.

Kurt grabbed Rachel before the bell rang.

"You finally talked?" he asked hurriedly as they moved into an empty classroom.

"Yes, sort of. You will be pleased to know that we are going on a date."

"YES!" Kurt whooped and Rachel found herself being pulled unceremoniously into a hug.

"It's just a date Kurt."

"It is no such thing! It is you finally giving into your true feelings and also its about time you stopped being such a bi..." Rachel placed her hand on his chest.

"Fine. You are right of course. I can't wait." She said giddily. "I really like her, but I love it when we spend time together, she is just so different."

"I'm glad and I am more than willing to help you choose an outfit..." Kurt took in Rachel's pained expression. "...and I wouldn't sabotage your date with Quinn. It'll be something special. Sexy, yet understated."

"Thanks Kurt. You have been amazing, a true friend."

"My job is not yet complete." He whisked her back into the hallway and watched as Quinn appeared, the look between the pair made him want to dance on air. There really was nothing like seeing two people in love, even if they were as painfully slow to realise it as Rachel and Quinn appeared to be.

For once Rachel was glad that they were getting close to a competition, the week was crammed with rehearsals and fittings and Friday came around fast.

She had seen Quinn as often as usual throughout the week, it was different and Rachel felt relieved. Quinn was smiling a lot more and Rachel kept catching her staring at her, it made Rachel ache with desire. Something about the hunger in the blondes eyes left her wanting and she couldn't wait for their first date.

Their hugs lasted a little longer and hands wondered a little more than before. It was exciting and Rachel still couldn't get her head around the idea that she was going on a date with Quinn Fabray.

"I'll be at yours for 7pm." Quinn told her for the fifth time that day.

"I know." She smiled and then grinned a little more when Quinn leant in and left a sweet kiss on her lips.

"Good, because tonight I am going to show you the best."

And that is exactly what Quinn did. She was at Rachel's house at five to seven in a hired limo. It was only then that she remembered that she'd have to see Rachel's dads and her nerves kicked in. She walked the path and knocked the door, moments later Hiram answered, a knowing look plastered on his face.

"Quinn, so lovely to see you. You look stunning." He grinned and invited her in. "Leroy wants a word." He added as she walked into the house.

Leroy stood as Quinn entered the kitchen.

"Mr Berry."

"Quinn." he smiled, but the stern tone was not lost on Quinn. "I believe you are taking my daughter on a date tonight?"

"I am." she answered with more assertiveness than she felt. "I hope that is okay? Because I really like Rachel and hope this is the first of many dates."

"Just make sure you treat my baby girl right and we will have no issues. She likes you and I trust her judgement."

"Thank you." Quinn let out a deep breath. Her history with Rachel would always be something she regretted, but now she had a chance to make sure they had an amazing future.

Rachel breezed into the kitchen, placing kisses on both her Dads cheeks before turning to Quinn. "Wow." Was all she could manage as she took in her dates appearance. Quinn was wearing a red dress that clung to every curve and Rachel couldn't help but examine each and every one.

"Drool." Hiram spoke up, she looked at him curiously. "Rachel, you are drooling and Quinn is a little too." She blinked and then realised that Quinn's eyes were still on her body. She knew when the blonde finally met her eye that Kurt's advice had been priceless.

"You are so beautiful." Quinn breathed as she stepped closer to Rachel and placed a kiss on her cheek, blushing lightly when she realised the Berry men were watching the pair closely.

"We should go." Rachel grabbed her purse and made for a hasty exit.

"Bye girls." The Berry's called after the pair and Rachel ran down the path with Quinn's hand locked in hers.

"You hired a car?" Rachel stopped in shock.

"I did." The chauffeur opened the door and Rachel climbed in.

"It's...wow...wonderful, you really needn't have...um..." Rachel was a little lost for words, she took a deep breath and tried to find her tongue. "Did my Dads give you hell?"

"No, they were just looking out for you."

"I'm still so shocked at all this. I am going on a date with Quinn Fabray!"

"You are, at last." Quinn took Rachel's hand and held it tight as they drove to the restaurant. She had booked the best that Lima had to offer. It wasn't until they were sat at the table that Quinn realised Vegan options were thin. Rachel smiled and sipped on her water as she scanned the menu. Quinn grimaced when she realised her mistake. The waiter arrived before she could speak.

"I'll have the salad." Rachel smiled as she closed her menu. Quinn just watched on and the waiter had to cough to get her attention.

"The same." She mumbled.

"Quinn? You don't have to. I saw your eyes as that steak went by a minute ago." Rachel placed her hand on top of the blondes and then turned to the waiter. "She'll have the filet mignon."

The waiter looked to Quinn and she nodded.

He rolled his eyes as he topped up their drinks and left them to it.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't even think." Quinn leant across the table. "I just wanted to take you somewhere special and now you are stuck with a salad. I am as lousy a date as Finn."

"It's fine. I like salad and this restaurant is lovely."

"The best." Quinn said glumly.

She couldn't help but feel bad when their meals arrived, Rachel didn't make a show, she just forked at her salad. Quinn struggled to get through her steak as she kept looking at Rachel, but she found herself unable to make conversation, her self-pity consuming her.

Dessert didn't fair much better and Quinn at this point couldn't wait for it to end. She paid the bill and tried to help Rachel out of her chair, but stumbled.

"Shit." She cursed and noticed a collection of heads turning around to look at her, she thought that she was probably the same shade as her dress by now as she led Rachel from the restaurant and back to the car. She climbed in first and almost cried when she felt something between her and the seat, she had forgotten about the flowers she'd got for Rachel and now they were ruined. Rachel sat next to her and retrieved the crumpled bouquet.

"It's okay Quinn, really. They are very pretty and dinner was lovely."

"You don't have to make me feel better."

"I know." Rachel brushed Quinn's hair behind her ear and cupped her cheek. "It was the best date because it was with you." She pressed her lips against Quinn's and felt the blonde kiss her back. A smile graced her mouth and Quinn took advantage, her tongue colliding with Rachel's, they kissed all the way home. Quinn's hands running up and down Rachel's sides as the brunette wrapped her fingers in Quinn's hair. The car came to a stop and it was a few minutes before Quinn reluctantly pulled herself off of Rachel.

"That part of the date was amazing." She grinned as she walked Rachel to her front door and moved to kiss her goodnight, the door opened and she was met with an inquisitive looking Leroy.

"Good evening Quinn. I trust you both had a lovely evening." He smiled mischievously and she knew it was her cue to leave.

"Goodnight, Rachel, Mr Berry."

"Goodnight Quinn." Rachel pushed her Daddy inside the door.

"What?" he chuckled.

"The date was awful and I had only just managed to convince her it wasn't a complete disaster and then you..."

"You've been parked outside for fifteen minutes, I was beginning to wonder if we'd see you again." He hadn't missed the dishevelled state of his daughter or her date.

"Now she is going to feel bad again."

"I'm sure you'll make it up to her." He couldn't hold in his laughter, Rachel sighed at him and made a quick escape to her room.

She got herself ready for bed and then made a call.

"Hey." Quinn answered. "You okay?"

"I am, I just wanted to see how you were, after everything. I'm phoning as your friend, not your date."

"Well, that's good, because if you were my date you'd be so disappointed at the sucky date I just took you on."

"Didn't go well then?"

Quinn decided to play along.

"It was awful. I took the prettiest girl to the best restaurant and it went so badly."

"Hmm, did you ask your date what she thought?"

"I was too embarrassed."

"Did she at least kiss you goodnight?"

"She did and a little more."

"I think you might have done okay then. I suggest you ask her out again, I think she might say yes."

"You do?"

"Mmmhmm, but Quinn..."

"Yes?"

"Perhaps somewhere less expensive and pretentious. She likes you, not the price tag."

"I'll remember that."

She could hear Quinn's smile in her words.

"Night Quinn."

"Night Rach."

She slept happy that night.

Quinn woke early and went for a run, she hadn't given up on keeping herself fit, but it had taken a new form, she had a lot of energy to work off and most of it seemed to result from her encounters with Rachel.

Her feet hit the pavement and soon she was into a steady rhythm. Thoughts of Rachel filled her head and she wasn't surprised to find herself at the girls doorstep.

"This is a pleasant surprise." Rachel answered the door and pulled a sweaty Quinn in for a lingering kiss.

"Rach, I'm hot."

"Don't I know it." Rachel placed another kiss to Quinn's neck.

"I mean I'm sweaty. I've been running." She tried to pull away but Rachel wasn't relinquishing her grip.

"Yes, in nice tight clothes and then you came here."

Quinn couldn't hold in her laughter. She wrapped her arms around Rachel's waist. "So now I know why you used to stare at me when I was a Cheerio."

Rachel blushed furiously. "I did not."

"Sure." She grinned. "Anyway I came to ask for another try. I was talking to my best friend last night and she said maybe I should see if you'd go out with me again."

"I think your best friend is very wise. I would definitely like to go out again."

"Great, so tonight?"

"I think I can change my plans."

"You had plans?"

"Just to spend the night on the phone to my best friend, but I think she'll understand that a date with you is more important."

"We have the best, best friends."

"We really do, do you want breakfast?"

"I should finish my run..." Quinn could feel her tension returning.

"I'll see you tonight then." Rachel placed a chaste kiss to Quinn's lips and watched the blonde run off down the path and along the street, her eyes unashamedly locked onto her curvaceous ass and thighs.

Rachel was flustered, seeing Quinn this morning had just set her mind racing, she had never felt so attracted to anyone. The night before in the back of the car had been something else, her hands had roamed freely across the sleek red gown. She could feel how close she was to touching soft alabaster skin and it had driven her wild with desire.

Finn had been sweet and everything she had ever wanted in a boyfriend, but she had never felt anything like she did for Quinn. The night before hadn't gone well, but it didn't matter to her, she had the most amazing time, because it was with Quinn.

Now she had another date to prepare for, she was sure it wouldn't be a repeat of the night before but didn't know what to expect. Quinn texted her saying 'dinner but a little more casual', so she dressed in skinny jeans and a button down shirt. It wasn't her usual look, but she liked it.

"Another date?" Hiram asked as she joined him in the kitchen.

"Yes, so be kind when she gets here. Last night was a little strained."

"You like her?"

"I really do, I never dreamt this would happen but it feels good. She is staying over tonight, I mean if thats okay?"

"I'm pleased for you, but just be aware that your Daddy is going to want to know everything and there will be an open door policy now we know the two of you are dating, I trust you Rachel and yes Quinn can stay, don't let me down."

Rachel nodded, she didn't want her Dads to realise that certain things had been going on during their previous sleepovers.

The doorbell rang and she rushed to answer.

"You look amazing." Quinn handed her a bunch of flowers and smiled.

"So do you." Rachel didn't want to hang around and was relieved when her Dad took the flowers with just a quick hello to Quinn.

Quinn ran around the car to open the door for her. "Thank you." She whispered into Quinn's ear as she moved past her and climbed into her seat.

They parked the car and Rachel smiled when she saw the diner that Quinn had chosen. "I love this place." She took the blondes hand and offered a reassuring squeeze.

"I'm glad I got the venue right." Quinn opened the door and Rachel walked in, they were seated quickly. "I can't believe how busy it is here."

"It's always like this, I come here with my Dads a lot or we order in. Have you never been?"

"No, I feel like I have been missing out. Why do we always end up in Breadstix?"

"Santana."

"True." Quinn laughed. "I'm so glad you gave me another chance, I feel we have so much to talk about, so much to find out about each other."

"We do, It's weird because we've been hanging out and I know we kissed and stuff, but I never really thought to ask you any questions, I was so confused about my own feelings."

"Ask away." Quinn smiled reassuringly, glad that they were finally getting somewhere. Kissing was fun, in truth it was amazing, but she wanted to learn more about the girl she was falling for.

The waitress appeared and she looked back to her menu, just as they were ordering Rachel waved to someone behind Quinn, she turned to see Leroy and Hiram talking with the host.

"Hi girls." Leroy walked over. "Don't panic we aren't staying. They have no tables, so we'll have to take out."

"You could join us?" Quinn regretted the words as soon as they fell from her mouth, Rachel gave her a strange look and she smiled it away.

"Really? You are sure we wouldn't be interrupting?"

"No, we'd love it if you joined us." Again words fell from Quinn's mouth and Rachel just watched her in shock.

"Then how could we refuse." Hiram patted Rachel on the shoulder and motioned for her to move around the booth.

Within moments their table was reset for four people and they had all squeezed in. The only upside was now Quinn was pressed up against Rachel's thigh.

It wasn't the worst meal in history, the conversation flowed easily. Quinn got on well with Rachel's Dads but it wasn't a date.

Rachel's Dads picked up the bill and her heart melted when she saw Quinn pout at the gesture.

"I need the restroom. Daddy, Dad, I'll see you at home." She said forcefully as she ushered her Dads towards their car. "Quinn brought me out and she can take me home."

"Of course." Quinn blushed lightly as all eyes focussed on her.

"Not too late." Leroy said firmly as he kissed Rachel on the cheek before Hiram dragged him to the car.

"I think we ruined the date." He said to his husband.

"I'm sure they will kiss and make up on the way home." Leroy chuckled as he looked back to see a stony faced Quinn waiting for Rachel to return. "They are very sweet together, I remember when we were like that."

"Were?" Hiram pouted.

"Are." Leroy kissed his husband reassuringly.

Quinn watched the Berry's drive away, she paced the walkway as she waited for Rachel. She felt a hand wrap around her wrist and then she was being pinned against the wall, Rachel's lips quickly attached to hers and she moaned as the brunettes tongue explored her mouth.

"I am so sorry." Rachel began placing fervent kisses along Quinn's jawline. "If I had known they were out tonight I would have said, but Daddy was working late..."

"It's okay, I just, uh." Quinn couldn't speak as Rachel sucked at her pulse point, her hands lifted into soft brown hair and she pulled Rachel's face up so that their lips met. She melted into the kiss as Rachel's tongue begged for entrance she groaned again and felt her hips jut against Rachel.

"All I wanted to do all night was kiss you." Rachel said breathily into Quinn's ear before she traced a line along her neck with her tongue.

"Fuck." Quinn felt Rachel's hands squeezing her ass and she quickly spun her around so that Rachel was the one with her back to the wall, she placed hot open mouthed kisses along her neck and let her hands roam beneath Rachel's shirt. She palmed at her breasts and felt Rachel moan into her mouth at the touch.

She only stopped when a group of diners noisily made their way into the parking lot.

"We should get back to mine. Do you want to stay?"

"I really do." Quinn nodded eagerly.

"Perhaps I should let you know now that my Dads have enforced an open door policy, but I think we can find a way around it."

"I'm sure we can."

They drove home to find her Dads waiting with amused grins on their faces.

"We're going to watch a movie and then get some sleep." Rachel took Quinn's hand and led her upstairs before her Dads could get a word in.

She left the door ajar and wasn't surprised to see Hiram poke his head around soon after. "We're off to bed. Be good!" he whispered before closing the door behind him.

Quinn pulled Rachel into her arms before their heated kisses took over again.

"We should sleep." Rachel put a hand between them, her mind was so fuzzy, Quinn had indeed been kissing her senseless.

"Is this too much?" Quinn tried to catch her breath, worried that it was getting too intense for Rachel.

"No, It's just...well I need to stop now or I won't be able to and my Dads are here and it feels too soon."

"You're right." Quinn climbed off the bed and looked at Rachel.

"Come back." Rachel reached her hand out and pulled Quinn back onto the bed. "I like this, what we have. I don't want to rush and ruin it."

"No, of course. I just get a little blinded when I am around you and it's like I know I have some self-control but Rachel Berry kisses me and it disappears."

Rachel grinned and pulled Quinn closer. They slept in each others arms and Quinn had never felt more complete in her life.

"Tell me everything about your awesome date." Santana cornered Quinn first thing on Monday.

"It was awful."

"All that Fabray charm and she didn't put out?"

"Dinner was terrible, she is vegan and I took her to the best restaurant in Lima."

"And?"

"She ate a salad! A Salad! I felt such a fool. It got better in the car on the way home, but I tried again Saturday and it was going well, but then her Dads joined us."

"No way? Well, that is a cockblock and a half."

"Exactly. I stayed over and it was uh...nice."

"I bet it was." Santana nudged her.

"I really like her. I'm not sure what she thinks, we've hardly talked."

"Too much kissing?"

"Kind of and I wanted to talk on our date, but I got in a mood and couldn't talk, then her Dads were there the next night."

"Give it time."

Quinn knew Santana was right, she'd waited for Rachel to agree to dating now she needed to be patient and see how things worked out. She was pleased that Rachel seemed a lot more into her if their kisses and interaction were anything to go by.

Regionals were taking over this week and she knew it would be on Rachel's mind. She caught up with her between classes.

"I'll see you at lunch?" Quinn questioned.

"Yes, meet me in the auditorium. I have rehearsal with Finn in my free. So…"

"OK" Quinn didn't show her annoyance that Rachel was spending time with Finn, she didn't feel she had a right to, but the boy still irked her.

"We still have to do the other number and he wants to go over some steps. I don't think it'll take too long."

"So long as I have you for lunch."

Finn and Rachel had been rehearsing for almost an hour and she was getting tired, mostly of him treading on her feet.

"I think that'll do." She stated firmly and sat on the piano stool rubbing her foot.

"It's nice spending time with you. I'm glad you agreed to sing with me." Finn sat down on the floor in front of her.

"Really Finn? You know me well enough by now. I will do anything for glee."

"Including stalk a pink haired punk and make her into your best friend." She couldn't miss the animosity in his voice.

"Stop."

"No, Rachel, you are making a fool…"

Rachel slammed the piano closed.

"I will not listen to this Finn. I like Quinn, she means more to me than you ever did."

"Ouch Rach!" He stood up and towered over her, but she didn't back down.

"It's true. She has proved to me that she is a good person, an amazing person actually and I care deeply about her, so I will not stand here and listen to you bad mouthing her. You have been unnecessarily mean to her."

"She lied and said I was the father of her baby, she cheated and she has always been mean to you."

"She has more than apologised for that and in reality what did you lose? She gave up her child in the end, she is the one that hurts everyday. Your hurt pride should have healed by now, you led her away from her boyfriend and then you dumped her for me. I think that was more than ample revenge."

"Rachel." He pleaded, placing his hands on her shoulders. She quickly removed them.

"No, Finn you have to stop. I don't love you. I don't want to be with you, but I will be your friend, but not if you talk about someone I love like that."

"You love Quinn?"

"I…"

"Of course you do, friends love each other." He shrugged and Rachel looked away, she couldn't digest her own words in that moment.

"Yes." She whispered.

"I'm sorry Rach. I know you are right, it's just hard. I miss you, I miss us. I should go."

She didn't say anything so he picked up his things and left her alone. Quinn didn't move she was stood in the shadows at the back of the auditorium and had listened to the whole exchange. Rachel had defended her and it made her heart swell. She watched as the brunette tried to process everything on that stage. Even from a distance she could see that Rachel was struggling with something.

Rachel opened the lid and ran her fingers along the keys. She began to sing.

I let it fall, my heart and as it fell you rose to claim it

It was dark and I was over, until you kissed my lips and you saved me.

My hands, they're strong but my knees are weak.

To stand in your arms, without falling to your feet.

Quinn stepped out of the shadows and Rachel stopped suddenly. Their eyes locked and Quinn made her way to the stage.

"For me? Or him?"

Rachel shook her head. "Neither, it was on my iPod this morning and got stuck in my head. Finn just made me angry, I wanted to let it out."

"You and me together, nothing is better." Quinn sang.

"The song is sad."

"I know."

"So why would you think it was about you?"

"I didn't, I guess I just didn't want it being about Finn."

"He's the past."

"And the future is?"

"Um, undecided." Rachel offered as she turned her back to Quinn, she wasn't sure she was ready to confess her feelings yet, she wasn't sure what they were. She heard Quinn move closer and when she felt hands wrap around her waist her pulse raced. Quinn's lips ghosted over her ear.

"I hope I am in it."

And with that Rachel melted. "I hope so too." She husked.

Quinn turned her around and kissed her, she didn't hold back as she let her hands roam the blonde. She wanted her, she had wanted her for so long. Touching happened on instinct.

One of her hands wrapped in Quinn's short blonde hair. She loved that hair and was glad it was no longer that shade of pink. She ran her free hand down Quinn's back, lightly scraping her fingers nails as she went. Quinn shivered and pulled Rachel closer into her as their tongues collided.

She followed Rachel's lead and let her hands rest on Rachel's butt. When she squeezed, Rachel couldn't keep the moan locked inside.

Their eyes locked and she could only imagine that her eyes were as black with desire as Quinn's were. She wanted Quinn all over her, she wanted Quinn inside of her.

Quinn's hand slipped under Rachel's shirt and drew circles on her lower back, before tickling her ribs and resting just under her bra. She pulled back and looked at Rachel. "Please." Is all the brunette could manage. Quinn reconnected their lips, she loved the way they moved together smoothly. She felt braver as her hand continued its journey, when she cupped Rachel's breast she felt the pool of desire between her own legs. Rachel arched into the touch and the sound she made let Quinn know that she would never ever get bored of touching Rachel.

They leant back against the piano for support and Rachel unbuttoned Quinn's shirt. She traced a line along the abs she had admired during Quinn's Skank phase. Pulling apart so that she could see what she was touching, she was met with the exposed flesh that she longed to devour, she felt Quinn's gaze on her "You are beautiful" she whispered as her hand rose slowly until it reached Quinn's breast, she kneaded it gently and ran a thumb over the hardened bud that was trying to break free from the material encasing it. "So beautiful."

Quinn gasped at the touch and Rachel met her eyes briefly, Quinn nodded and Rachel reached around and unhooked the bra. The blonde's hand was still fixed in her hair as Rachel leant down and captured a nipple in her mouth. Her desire was leading her and she couldn't resist as she lazily traced a path between each breast, sucking and placing kisses on each one in turn. Quinn threw her head back as Rachel continued, she needed to feel closer and was amazed at the sudden turn in events. She still had Rachel's breast in her hand. Freeing it she pushed into Rachel and pressed her hard against the piano. Rachel's lips were now attacking her neck as she ran a hand slowly up Rachel's thigh, lifting her skirt and tracing a line along the elastic of her panties.

"Fuck" Rachel husked.

Quinn kissed the lips that were driving her wild. She continued her ministrations and traced a path until her fingers were almost between Rachel's legs. She could feel the heat emanating off the brunette and as she ran her finger along her panties she could also feel how wet Rachel was.

"I want you." She breathed in to Rachel's mouth. "but not here, not like this."

Rachel groaned, but she felt it too. She had been willing, but something didn't feel right. She placed her hands on Quinn's shoulders pushing her back lightly until she could see her face.

"How do you do this to me Quinn?" she glanced down at the naked flesh in front of her. "You make me feel things, I didn't know I could feel. You make me want you so much that I can't control myself."

Quinn cupped Rachel's cheeks and sucked on her bottom lip. "I know, I feel it too."

"I'm scared."

"I'm terrified." Quinn countered. A shy smile on her face as she watched the brunette bite her lip before smiling back.

Rachel watched as Quinn did her bra back up and began to re button her shirt. She couldn't find anything to say, her head was a mess. Moments before she had been ready to give herself to Quinn, nothing made sense, she couldn't think around her.

"I'm sorry." Rachel felt a tear escape.

"Hey, don't be sorry." Quinn spoke softly as she pulled Rachel into her arms. "We are both in this."

"I know, I just feel like I am messing you around."

"You still want to date?"

"Very much so."

"Then you aren't messing me around. We got heated and carried away. I guess we both need to think what this all means to us and maybe cool down a bit."

"I guess." Rachel looked at her watch. "I have to go." She stumbled back and headed towards the door, leaving Quinn a little dazed and confused. "I'll see you at 7pm." she called before she ran down the hall to her next class.

A/N: So tell me your thoughts. They still have a little way to go on their journey.

Song is Adele: Set fire to the rain. It was stuck in my head when I wrote that scene.

I will try to update at the weekend, but my head is not functioning so it may take me a bit longer.
