Hey :] I'm so so sorry about the delay with this chapter. Stuff happened this week and I wasn't up to writing any cute fluff until today. Let's hope this is adequately romantic :]
I promised to make a chapter on R5's new song 'say you'll stay', so here it is :] (If you haven't heard the song, you have to listen to it - its on Riker's tumblr and is fantastic.) I changed a few words, I hope that's okay! I haven't written out the whole song in here – I couldn't transcribe it all, but lets pretend he sings the whole thing.
I know a few people have been requesting a meet the parents chapter, so that will be coming up soon :] I also love writing the ridiculousness that is Wes and David, so you will definitely get more of them at some point.
Feedback is always appreciated!
Enjoy! xx

During her lunch break on Friday afternoon, Quinn received a call from Kurt. She picked up with a huge smile on her face.
Hey Kurt!
Hello beautiful. How is McKinely?
Boring without you, of course. (*laughing*)
Naturally. (*dramatic sigh*)
Anyway…what's up?
I was wondering, do you wanna have a double date tomorrow? Me, you and the other two. (*chuckles*)
(*giggling*) Sure. Sounds like fun.
Great. Breadstix at 7?
Awesome.
Okay, see you tomorrow then boo.
Bye Kurt!
Bye hun…
Quinn was incredibly excited. This was going to be so much fun. A few minutes later, she got a text from her boyfriend.
Hey babe. Kurt told me the plan for tomorrow. I'll pick up you at 6.30? J x
Are you sure? If you want to drive with them I can meet you there…. Q x
No, I will most definitely be picking you up :] J x
Okay then. Love you! Q x
And I love you. J x
Her face was a little too red, considering all she was doing was texting. He loves me. Still don't understand how I got this lucky?

He was there at 6.30 on the dot. She opened the door with a smile. "Perfect timing…" she said, grinning. She gasped as she took in his outfit – black jeans, purple short-sleeved shirt and a striped tie.
"Quinn? Whats wrong?" Jeff asked, looking concerned.
"Oh. Nothing. You, um…you look hot". Did she have to blush right now? He grinned and winked.
"All for you" he said. "Although you look so gorgeous every day, I don't know how you even let me walk beside you" Jeff continued, gesturing to her outfit. She was in a light blue knee-length dress, with a black jacket and heels. Quinn just laughed and took his hand. They walked down the drive to his car.
He opened her door and stepped back.
"Thank you", she said, sliding in.

The dinner was going great. She and Kurt reminisced at length about McKinely, while Blaine and Jeff listened intently and laughed. It was, about this point, that a certain song about the previous day of the week came on. All four teenagers groaned.
"I cannot believe this girl actually made money off this song." Blaine said.
"I mean, it really doesn't get worse than this." Jeff said.
"Jeff, even your music is better than this" Kurt said.
"Even my music? What's that supposed to mean, Hummel?" Jeff said and laughed. He took a straw from the stand and threw it at Kurt, who ducked, laughing as well.
Quinn stiffened, as Kurt's words sunk in. His music? Hold on a second….
She turned to her boyfriend. "Your music?" she asked.
"Uh…yea" Jeff said, who, for some reason, looked embarrassed. "I write a little music. And play the guitar."
Her jaw dropped. "You never told me, Jeff", Quinn said breathily.
"I don't think its that good." Jeff said, ducking his head.
"Will you show me something?" Quinn asked him, nervously.
"Uh…well….I guess. If you want" Jeff said, dubiously.
"Yes. I want. Very much so" she said, smiling widely. "Look, there's a guitar over there, with the band set-up for later tonight."
Jeff looked in her eyes. He finally gave in and grinned. "Okay…for you. Tell me what you think."
Jeff went to retrieve it, and sat on the stool next to the mike on the stage. The staff, clearly understanding what was going to happen, hurried towards him and turned on the equipment as he tuned the guitar and tested the mike.
"Hi. My name is Jeff" her boyfriend said, to the restaurant at large. "And this song is for my girlfriend."
He started strumming the guitar, and her smile grew as he started to sing.
It's summer time
And you are all that's on my mind
Every day
It seems like we
Could stay up and talk through the night
Oh, what do you say?
Say you'll stay..ay…stay
I just keep on wishing everyday..ay…stay
No more running around….running around
No more running around…no…no
Just say you'll stay
Quinn Fabray's hair
You look so cute in the clothes you wear
Her lips so sweet
And when I walk her to her door
I'm thinking, will she just give me one more kiss
I'm begging, please
Say you'll stay..ay…stay
I just keep on wishing everyday..ay…stay
No more running around….running around
No more running around…no…no
Just say you'll stay
…
As Quinn and Jeff looked into each other's eyes, it was as though the rest of the world faded and all that she could see was him. His eyes, his smile…it overpowered her ability to think. She was drawn out of her trance by the storm of clapping around the restaurant as he finished. Shaking her head a little, she joined in.
As he sat down next to her, he nudged her shoulder. "What did you think?"
"It was.." Quinn throat was constricted. "Incredible. So…I…".
She came closer and whispered "thank you" in his ear. He kissed her cheek, and she rested her forehead against his shoulder as she hugged him tightly, trying to tell him wordlessly how much it meant to her.
"I'm trying to eat here." Kurt deadpanned, then laughed.
Quinn and Jeff turned back around, grinning. His smile softened beautifully as her hand found his and she curled her fingers through his.

He kept a hold of her hand throughout the rest of the date. They didn't let go…not while eating, not while driving, and not while walking up her drive.
"Jeff" she said, as she opened her door and turned around.
"Yea?" he asked.
"That song." Quinn tried to formulate her words. "No-one's ever written me a song before. Thank you. It was….perfect."
There was a split-second as they looked at each other and somehow, the next second, he had pulled her into his arms and kissed her hungrily.
They may have been together there for 10 minutes or 3 hours. Time stopped when she kissed Jeff. They finally drew apart, lips swollen and her knees weak.
She leaned against him with her arms looped around his neck. "Jeff?"
"Hmm…" he said, eyes closed and smiling contentedly.
"About that song…"
"What?" he asked, kissing her neck softly.
"If you ever want another kiss, I'll never object", she said, winking.
He laughed and pulled her in again.

So...how was that? I hope you liked it!
I'll try to update faster, but I'm swamped with work these days.
Prompts and ideas are very welcome – you can put them in a review or drop them in my tumblr ask box. My tumblr is dfreakincriss . tumblr . com (without the spaces).
About the song that I…uh, expressed some negative opinions about, those are my opinions. I really don't like that song. No offence to anyone that does :]
Thanks for reading!
Reviews are as totally awesome as red vines.
