This chapter is shorter, but I wanna take my time with the next one. We'll see how this goes, but I think I'll make one more chapter for this story and then we'll see, let me know what you think!
Before definetely moving to NYC, Rachel visited one of the places her and Quinn would usually hang out at. Whenever they felt they needed some space from Glee, life, or the boys, they would go to this spot, it was half on hour away from town, a place in the forest, around the are were the two girls would go on hikes with Rachel's dads. She went there to take a picture of the sunset. She had witnessed so many right next to the blonde, that she felt they both would need nice reminders of their life in Lima. They lived some of their best moments in that particular spot. Sunsets there were beautiful, and the chats she had with Quinn were so careless and free. She would miss that, being there, sitting next to Quinn laughing and messing with her. She wondered if they would have there once they moved to NY. She felt anxious, what if she lost the other girl? What if NY proved to be too much for them? So she took the picture, to remind to the two of them were they came from, who they really were, so they would never forget what they meant to each other. She took the picture and went home.

Quinn was grinning and smiling all the way from the park to Rachel's house. They were cuddling with each other, they wanted to get to Rachel's home already, and were too self-aware that the driver was looking, like really looking at them.
"Rach, I wanna ask you something"
"Ask away", replied the brunette, holding Quinn closer to her body. It was a cold night, and God she needed to warm up. The blonde smiled and said,
"When did you first realized you liked, liked me?
"I... I don't know. I think it was during one of our getaways to the forest, remember? How we used to put a blanket and sit there for hours, until it was really dark and we knew we should go home?"
"I remember, I miss that place"
"I think about it everyday... so, I think it was one of those days. We were talking and then, you held me in your arms and said 'Rach, I'm really sorry for what happened before... I can't believe that you were actually able to forgive me', and then there we were, holding each other under that perfect blueish sky, the sun was disappearing behind the moutains and I had Quinn Fabray in my arms. Quinn Fabray former cheerleader, super talented Glee star, ex president of the Celibacy Club"
"Hey!", said Quinn while punching Rachel in the arm, "is that the only reason why you liked me? Because I was Quinn freaking Fabray?"
"Of course not, silly... now don't ruin the moment, I was telling you about that particular moment"
"Alright...sorry, please go on"
"So there we were and then I started to think off your eyes, and how every time you looked at me, I felt that I was burning inside, I didn't have you, but I was terrified about losing you... I thought that your eyes were trying to tell me something I couldn't figure out, but I couldn't get that thought out of my head... and that I wanted to hold you once more, or even kiss you. But then I reacted, and began to wonder if that was some kind of fairy tale.. a story I was making up in my head"
"But it wasn't Rach"
"I know that now, but back then... I wasn't sure. I mean, we were dating those two goofs. We will have to talk to them"
"I know, we'll get to that eventually"
"Right... so it wasn't after the kiss that I thought to myself that something could actually happen. But then I ruined things, you know about the play and our SueSilvester-like director. It was a nightmare, and I felt so much pressure, I wanted to be the best. But then, I had no one to share that with. Sure I had new friends and my cast mates, but I would go home alone and realized how much I wanted you there. But I think mostly I was just scared to accept that things could actually happen, and even more, things could be great"
"Are you still scared?"
"Of course I am!"
"What?" asked Quinn pulling away.
"But I am also excited and I can't wait to see what will happen with us. So yeah, I am scared. But now I see that that's only one part. A tiny detail, in a bigger and better picture. With you"
"Aw, you and your words Rachel Berry, you always know what to say"
"That's not true at all. But thank you"
"Now can I ask about the surprise that's awaiting for me at your apartment?"
"Of course!"
"Well... what is it?"
"You'll have to wait and see. I actually cannot believe you didn't see it the other day"
Quinn tried to think about Rachel's apartment... what was there for her to see?
"Guess you'll have to wait and see... then you can tell me about the first time that you realized you had feelings for me and decided to kiss me"
"I kissed you? You kissed me first... not that I'm complaining"
They both laughed. Then Rachel gave some more directions to the driver, that was way more into their conversation than on looking the road. They finally got to Rachel's apartment.
"Finally... my surprise" whispered Quinn into Rachel's ear, which made the brunette shiver.
