Chapter 10

"As much as I want to keep you, I don't want burglars inside your house so you better go home now." Quinn says after she invites Sam inside her apartment and he starts making out with her on the couch.

"Five more minutes, please." Sam says while kissing Quinn. She was all he wanted. When he kisses her, he forgets everything: Olivia, work, the past and the present, all he wants to do is to stay in that moment forever.

Quinn smirks to herself and cuts Sam's kissing, "Well, you just said that twenty minutes earlier." She stands up and opens the door for Sam. Sam sees this as her way of teasing him, instead, he stands up and follows her in the doorway and intimately kisses her, "Sam! You seriously need to go home!"

Seeing that Quinn's already serious about him going home, he kisses her one last time in the lips and finally bids goodbye, "Good night, Quinn. I love you."

"I love you, too. Call me when you get home."

The next day, Quinn was woken up by a certain Rachel Berry having a huge smile on her lips.

"What's up, Rach?"

"Good morning, Quinnie! Breakfast is ready!"

"What's that smell? God, Rach! Are those eggs?" Quinn suddenly notices the awful smell of eggs covering the homey feel of her apartment. "That's gross! Can I have something else, please?"

"It's your all-time favorite, Quinn! How can you ever forget that?" Yeah, it's true. Any recipe with egg, Quinn will surely eat it, with all her heart, but not today.

"Uhm… I want something else… I think I want to try bacon."

"Bacon? What's wrong with you? Are you sick? You're craving for bacon? That's the last time you wanted to eat on earth!"

Quinn then stands up from her bed and gets the bacon from her freezer. Luckily, she was able to buy some in the grocery because she's been craving for it yesterday. "Come on, I'll cook something special."

When Quinn set the table, Rachel joined her as they ate and they talked about a lot of things: Puck and Rachel, Sam and Quinn, as well as coming back home in Ohio.

"So you and Sam? Does Olivia know a hint of this?"

"Not even a word. Of course we're keeping it a secret." Quinn notices the shock in Rachel's eyes and retorts, "Come on! Don't look at me like that, it's not like you and Puck are not doing it!"

"Okay. Okay. I know that! But Puck is so sweet… and hot… in bed. Wanna see for yourself?" Rachel jokes to which Quinn replies, "No thanks!"

The two of them had fun together while in Quinn's apartment. After Rachel helped Quinn with the dishes, she said goodbye to Quinn as she still has a class, while Quinn can still relax and enjoy until her professors are back from the excursion.

Quinn remembered that tonight will be the night for her and Sam to have the baby. Although she looks forward to it, she cannot shrug the thought of being forced to have sex with Sam. For her, sex is something done by two people in love, voluntarily, sharing the same feelings for each other, and not having to think of their goals for having sex. She wants to try something different, something different from her and Sam having sex, because she realized it was all they did while they were in Ohio and yesterday in her apartment. She wants to prove that what she feels for Sam in not just lust, but love and affection for him, too.

She decided she could use the time to run into the market and buy some ingredients for her planned dinner. After all, it was so special to her and Sam. She wants to commemorate that night.

Sam decided to check on Olivia for a while before going to Quinn's apartment later that night. He noticed that Olivia is back to her old self again, having a huge smile on her face, and enjoying the positivity life is giving her. As much as she's easy to break, she's easy to fix, too. Sam says to himself. He's happy that Olivia's alright again. But of course, he's relationship with Quinn is all that matters to him right now, he wants to make it work, against all odds. Olivia smiles at him upon seeing him enter the room.

"Sam… How was your sleep?"

Sam sits beside her in the bed, snuggling her so close. Of course, with all that stuff with Quinn, he cannot deny that he still felt something for Olivia. After all, she is his wife, and they promised to keep each other safe no matter what. "It's fine. What did the doctors say?"

"They said I'd be fine. And I can go home after 2 days."

"That's great. I bought something for you." Sam hands Olivia the copy of her favorite book, South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami. He knows that Olivia needs to kill time inside the hospital so he brought something worth reading for her.

"Thanks, Sam. I really needed this."

"You're welcome."

Sam and Olivia talked for a while. He noticed how Olivia is excited for having a baby, of course, that's all she wanted, she will get it one way or another. Olivia knows that tonight going to be the night for Sam and Quinn to actually do it, but she trusts the both of them so she does not breathes a word about it. Sam kisses his wife goodbye and heads to Quinn's apartment just in time for the dinner.

Sam secretly had a spare key into Quinn's apartment. She gave it to him yesterday before leaving. They thought it would be awesome to crash into one another's apartment, but not Quinn for Sam's. This way, they could have their own private time and enjoy themselves. He uses the spare key and was welcomed by the smell of roast chicken and pasta as he sees Quinn inside the kitchen. He rushes to her and hugs her from behind.

"Oh, Sam! You scared me!"

"Sorry, I used the spare key you gave me. What are these?"

"Dinner, Sam."

Sam starts kissing her neck down to her shoulders. He is so pervy, Quinn thought. "I can't wait for bedtime, Quinn."

"Sam… Omigod, Sam!" Quinn interrupts Sam's kissing when she realizes he's not going to stop. "I want to try something different."

"You want us to try something different… like what kind of sex?" Sam teases.

"No, Sam! That's not what I meant. Can we please not have sex tonight? I just want us to have dinner, cuddle, pop some corn, watch a movie or something."

Sam sighs, he's expecting that he can nail Quinn on the bed but it looks like that's not going to happen for tonight. "Come on. It's going to be fun, Sam. I promise!"

So the two of them ate their dinner. Sam discovered that Quinn would only cook if it's a special occasion, and he felt really special because a Quinn Fabray cooked for him. Quinn washed the dishes while Sam popped the corn and prepared the chips and dip for the movie. He also set up the couch and chose the movie they're going to watch. Since it's a special day for both of them, and it's Sam's second day in Quinn's apartment, Sam chose Avatar, his favorite movie. Quinn knows that Sam and that movie shared a special bond, and although she doesn't like replaying movies, she agreed because of Sam.

Halfway in the movie, while the Lor menari scene is being presented, Sam says it to Quinn.

"Lor menari, Quinn." Quinn just smiles at him upon hearing this, but she does not know how to respond, if she will just thank him, it's not some sort of a special thank you because they already know the language. She wants to say something in Na'vi to prove that she can open her world just for Sam. When the movie ends, and they're both ready to sleep, Quinn whispers into Sam's ears.

"Nga yawne lu oe-r." Sam stares at her like a miracle had just happened. "What?" Quinn says.

"Nothing. I'm just surprised you said that. You are also beloved to me, Quinn."

"I can't understand how Neytiri said it that's why I Google-d it. It says there is no exact translation for that expression."

"Yes, Quinn. I'm happy you're learning. Come on, let's sleep!"

Sam then carries her into her bedroom and they changed clothes, all the while fighting the urge to not have sex. When they reach Quinn's bed, they hold each other, and gaze upon each other's eyes.

"Thank you, Sam."

"For what?"

"You proved me wrong that this relationship is all about lust and sex. You made me realize that what we have now is real."

"Of course, Quinn. I know I can't resist you but that's just because that's how much I love you. I am so sorry if I'm trying to pressure you or something."

"No, Sam. You're not pressuring me. I'm really happy that you're straightforward when it comes to showing your love to me, and I couldn't even ask for more. I love you, Sam. Always remember that."

"I love you, Quinn. tì'i'avay krrä." Sam mumbles to Quinn and kisses her lips before they sleep.
