A/N So, who's ready for the date? I gotta say, I am just tickled Rachel Berry's favorite shade of pink every time i read a review. You guys are awesome, and i hope you enjoy! still don't own glee, or Santanna's personality (although i kinda wish i did) :)
Rachel's P.O.V.
I pulled into her driveway a good ten minutes ago, and I am currently trying to psych myself up to get out of my car and walk to the door.
I sigh when I look at the clock, five minutes till.
I opened my door and walked toward the front door of the Fabray household, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell.
A blonde woman opened the door with a smile and said, "You must be Rachel, please come in."
I followed her into what must be the living room, and she gestured at the couch, obviously indicating that I sit, as she said, "So, I must know dear, are you related to a Leroy Berry?"
I smiled at her and said, "As a matter of fact, Mrs. Fabray, he is my Daddy."
I saw her smile, and then she said, "Now dear, I insist that you call me Judy, and you should tell your daddy that Judy Roberts says hi, he'll know who I am."
I nodded and an awkward silence commenced.
I heard someone making their way down the stairs, and I stood up and turned, saying, "Are you ready to go?" before they made it to the bottom.
I soon regretted it as I saw that it was Santanna.
"Berry, I know I look hot, and no matter how smoking you look tonight, I simply refuse to let you ditch Q for me. Also, you know that if you hurt her, I will buy you a kitten, I will let you fall in love with that kitten, and then, on one shadowy night I will sneak into your house and slit your throat."(A/N I believe Sue said something along these lines to Will, and i just had to use it)
She smirked and I back-handed her arm, ignoring the second part, seeing as there was nothing to worry about, saying, "Santanna, don't flatter yourself. I've dated you before, remember, it was quite possibly the most boring time of my life."
She feigned hurt, and said, "You cut me deep, Berry, you cut me deep. I guess I'll just have to move on somehow… It won't be easy…but I will…"
I smile and say, "Well, San, that is because I am so amazing, but you have no chance Santanna, I happen to harbor feelings for a certain blonde that we know."
She made a horror-struck face and yelled up the stairs, "Q! Don't let Brittany come down! Berry is harboring feelings for her!"
We then broke out into laughter.
Just then Quinn started down the stairs, and I gawked at her.
She was wearing an adorable blue baby doll dress, and her hair was cascading down her shoulders in light curls. She had a light blush adorning her cheeks, and something told me it was more from nerves than from make-up. Her mouth was also hanging open as she stared at me.
I gulped and we stood there staring at each other for a few minutes, until Santanna said, "Oh my God! For the love of breadsticks, will you two just jump each other already? I swear, you could cut this sexual tension with a fucking butter knife. Leave, before I projectile vomit on both of your faces!"
That snapped us out of our staring contest, and finally Quinn said, "Really, Santanna? You're kicking me out of my own house?"
Santanna smirked and started pushing us out the door, saying, "Hell yeah, Bitches! Now leave before I go all Lima Heights Adjacent on your asses. Have fun!"
She then slammed the door on our faces, and we stood there for a minute in absolute silence before we heard Santanna yell through the door, "That means leave, bitches!"
I looked at Quinn and smiled, gesturing towards my car. I opened her door for her and then proceeded to the driver's side. I got in and we sat looking at each other for a few seconds, then I said, "You look really beautiful Quinn."
She smiled and blushed, grabbing my hand and looking in my eyes, saying, "Nothing compared to you, Rachel."
We sat there for a few moments then we heard a slam. I looked towards the door and saw Santanna storming towards us, pointing down the road and yelling in fluent Spanish.
I took the hint and started driving.
After a few minutes, and after we passed breadsticks, Quinn finally asked, "So, where are we going?"
I smirked at her and shook my head, saying, "Ah, ah, ah! You're not getting it out of me that easy Fabray! You'll just have to wait and see.
The truth is, I was afraid to tell her, it was kind of boring, and I didn't know how she would like it.
After another half an hour we pulled up to the drive-in and I paid. I stopped the car and turned to Quinn, looking at my hands and saying, "Well, um… I thought it would… um… be cool to come and see a movie. I… uh… packed a picnic and everything… so… uh… wait here, and I'll…be right back."
I got out of the car and popped the trunk; I then went towards the field in front of the screen and laid out the blanket, and a couple of pillows. Lastly I set the basket down, and the portable radio.
When I got back to the car, I went to Quinn's side and opened the door for her. She looked confused, but when she faced me, she held out her hand and I gracefully took it.
I carefully watched her expression as I led her to the blanket, and I saw her smile. That smile made my heart clench. I wanted to kiss her, but I knew it was too soon, I probably shouldn't have even done it in the bathroom, but I was just so overwhelmed.
I watched her sit on the blanket, and I sat next to her and said, "I'm sorry if it's too much," I looked away from her and at my hands, "I just wanted everything to be perfect. The movie is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. I can still take you home if you want, the last thing I want is to come off as over-bearing. I just really like you, and I'm really nervous. You know what? I was wrong, we shouldn't do this, and you haven't said anything since we got here and that can't be a good sign. I'll just pack everything up and we can leav—"
I lost my train of thought.
At some point in my monologue, Quinn had taken my head in her palm, and right now… she was kissing me. It was amazing, everything I could have hoped for, but somehow more. I forgot about the movie, the food, the date in general and just… felt. One of my hands went to the back of her neck and started pulling lightly on the baby hairs there, and the other placed firmly on her hip. I forgot we were in public, or that there were little kids running around, and really couldn't bring myself to give a damn until I heard someone wolf-whistle.
I pulled back and looked into her eyes. She looked as dazed as I was, and I felt something pulling me back towards her. When I realized it was her hand, I shook my head. Her eyes were darker than usual, and if I started kissing her again, I wouldn't be able to stop, so I pulled back and reached for the food.
I pulled out 2 rubber made containers, and handed her the top one, saying, "Although it went against my moral and religious beliefs, I made this for you. But I also brought mouth wash, because if you expect a good-night kiss, I will not taste that."
She opened the container, and I saw her eyes light up in awe. She looked at me and said, "Rachel, did you make me an entire container full of bacon?"
I blushed, looked at the ground, and shrugged.
I felt her grab my chin and she pulled me into a passion filled kiss that left me wanting more.
When she pulled away, I saw her eyes twinkle, and she said in a thick voice, "That is honestly the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I lo—It means a lot to me."
Wait…. Was she really going to say that she—oh well, "I'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad you like the date…" I smiled and changed the subject, "So, have you seen this yet?"
We continued eating with light conversation, and when we finished, I took the basket to the trunk of my car and Quinn went to the bathroom to rinse out her mouth (I absolutely refused to smell bacon breath while we watch the movie). When we returned, the movie was just starting, so we situated ourselves on the blanket, and I did an internal happy dance when Quinn rested her head on my shoulder.
The movie passed by quickly, and before I knew it we were sitting in front of her house. I finally broke out staring contest to get out and open her door.
As we stood on her porch, she said, "Thanks for the amazing night, Rach. It was better than anything I could have hoped for."
I smiled at her and cleared my throat, and nervously asked, "S-so, d-does that mean you'll be my g-girlfriend?"
I lost my nerve and looked at my shoes, that is, until I felt her grab hold of my shoulders and pull me into a passionate kiss. I don't know how long it lasted, but we were brought out of our own little world when we heard someone yelling through the door, "Hell yeah! Get'cha some Q!"
I sighed and rolled my eyes, and I heard Quinn giggle. I smiled at her and she looked at me and said, "I would love to. I can't tell you how long I've wanted to be your girlfriend."
I smiled from ear to ear and gave her a chaste kiss (being fully aware of our audience), saying, "Well, I guess I'll see you later."
She smiled at me and said softly, "Good-night Rach, Sweet Dreams."
I honestly don't know what possessed me to say it, but I winked at her saying, "Only if you're in them, babe!"
I kissed her quickly and ran off toward my car feeling giddy. Behind me I heard Santanna burst out laughing, so I turned around, only to see Quinn standing in the same spot, looking towards me with a vacant look in her eyes, and Santanna behind her clutching the door frame for support.
All in all, I'd say it was a great day.
A/N Well? What did you all think? i love reviews!
