Loving all the comments, so much that I have another chapter for you all.
Nickki was smiling at the scene before her. Quinn was approaching Rachel, and damn if she didn't look nervous.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, Brit. Where's your grumpy half?" Nickki asked not taking her eyes off the two down the hall.
"Coach wanted to see her. So…I heard you and Rachel are having sexy times." Brittany asked as she hugged Nickki's arm.
"Not exactly, just dating." Nickki replied with a chuckle, as they both made their way toward Rachel's locker.
"Well, either way Quinn is upset by it"
"Oh, really" Nickki's face busted out in a evil grin. "Let's slow down, and give them time to talk."
"Hey Rachel. Did you have a nice night?" Quinn asked nervously.
" Why yes I di…Oh Quinn. I thought you were someone else." Rachel tried her best to act surprised. Nickki had told her Quinn was going to talk to her today.
"So is it true?" Quinn hugged her books to her chest, trying to find the courage to look Rachel in the eyes. The last time she saw those eyes it broke her heart.
"Is what true, Quinn?" Rachel closed her locker and gave Quinn a mega-watt smile.
Quinn took a deep breathe and willed herself to look at the diva. "Are yo.." Quinn suddenly got the breathe knocked out of her. She had never noticed how gorgeous Rachel's eyes were.
"Quinn. Is what true?" Rachel tilted her head and gave the blonde cocked brow.
Quinn shook her head and began again. "Is it true that you are dating Nickki?" Quinn tried to hide the sadness in her voice.
"Well as a matter-of-fact we are?" Rachel said as Nickki showed up behind her and brought her lips to the divas ear.
"Hey, girlfriend. I'm going need a believable giggle when I back away." Nickki whispered as she looked Quinn in the eyes. As Nickki backed away and slowly slid her hand to the diva's, Rachel let out the cutest playful giggle she could and added a lip bite for good measure. The whole time Nickki was watching Quinn, she noticed the blonde was gritting her teeth and had her hands in fists.
"What were you and Rachel talking about?" Brittany asked Quinn
"We were talking about how I am dating, Nickki?" Rachel asked for Quinn who was currently staring daggers at Nickki.
"Oh, yeah. I just told Nickki how Quinn was rea-mmph" Quinn had covered the dancer's mouth before she could say any more.
"How I was really happy that you found someone to date that you didn't have to steal." Shit Quinn thought, she didn't want to say that.
"Oh" Rachel frowned. Nickki just looked confused.
"SeeyoutwolaterBYE" Quinn quickly left dragging Brittany beside her.
Nickki leaned on the locker facing Rachel. "Are you okay?" Rachel nodded. "Your girl doesn't have many people skills does she?" Rachel shrugged.
"Here." Nickki took Rachel's books and held out her hand. "Let me walk you to class." Rachel accepted the hand and leaned her head on Nickki's shoulder as they walked down the hall. This was going to be tougher than she thought.
Unbeknownst to all four girls, a certain red head had witnessed the whole thing, "Interesting."
"Quinn" Brittany pulled Quinn to a stop. "I thought you were going to be nice?"
"I know, I know, it's just…Nickki…and her….UGH" Quinn growled. Brittany frowned and shook her head at the blonde. Quinn sighed, "I'll try harder."
"You better!" And with that Brittany left Quinn to figure out what she was going to do.
"What the hell am I going to do?"
There was five minutes left in Spanish class and Quinn still didn't know what to say to Rachel.
"I'm sorry" Quinn jumped at the sudden breathe on her neck. She turned and glared at Santana.
"What?" Santana motioned behind them to Brittany.
"B, told me what happened, and I'm guessing you still don't know what to tell her. So, start with that..It usually works." The bell rang, and Quinn hurried to stop the diva from leaving.
"I'm sorry, Rachel" Rachel stopped what she was doing and looked and Quinn. "I'm trying to be nice, and I didn't mean to say that."
"Then why did you?"
"I don't know." Quinn threw up her arms in defeat. "I…Look Rachel I just need you to know that I am sorry for what I said, and…" Quinn took a deep breath. "I'm glad you have someone that makes you happy." Quinn forced a smile and left the classroom.
"Not yet" Rachel muttered to herself as she watched Quinn leave.
It was the last period. Nickki had told Rachel that she was going to tone down on fueling the fire that was Quinn, that way it wouldn't be uncomfortable all the time. So far, so good. The girls were currently waiting to draw an envelope.
"So what are drawing for again?" Jessica asked she was still slightly distracted by the whole scene from that morning.
"For careers" Nickki answered.
"Here you go girls." Mrs. Harris put a basket in the middle of the girls. After everyone had an envelope, Mrs. Harris whispered "Don't peek"
"Wouldn't dream of it!" Nickki smiled back at her.
Mrs. Harris made her way back to the front of the class. "Alright everyone, I have said this once and I will say it again. No trading, and no complaining. I will be around again to record your careers, but now you can up them."
"She makes it so exciting." Rachel squealed as the girls took turns finding out their career. "Quinn you first"
"I make $67,000 a year working as a Photographer"
"Rachel, you're next."
"I make $75,000 a year as a Model" Quinn coughed to hide the laugh in her throat, but the diva glared at her.
"Nickki, how bout you?" Jessica asked.
"I make between $86,000 and $167,000 a year as a Night Club Owner. Your turn Jessica." Jessica opened the envelope and her eyes widen in terror. "Oh it can't be that bad."
"I average $70,000 a year as an.."
"Hello girls. What did you all pick?"
"Photographer"
"Model"
"Night Club Owner"
"exzzzzz dancer"
"I'm sorry dear. I didn't catch that."
"Exotic Dancer, okay. I dance for money" Jessica slammed her head on the desk.
"Oh, sorry." Mrs. Harris walked away. "Okay the only thing you will be graded on this "year" will be a 3-page essay on the background of you. You will include your childhood, what lead to your career, how you met your best friend and how you met your future spouse. You will still have to fill out the worksheets I gave you and the assignment I wrote on the broad yesterday. These will be put into a 3-ring folder and scrap book that will be due at the end of the school year. The folder and scrapbook will be worth 48% of your overall grade. Okay, use the rest of the time you have wisely."
"So…" Quinn looked at Jessica who had finally sat up. "Where do you want to go to get this first date over with?"
Jessica's face lit up. "Actually Nickki suggested that we all go to Breadsticks with her and Rachel."
"That sounds like a great idea." Rachel smiled at Nickki, silently thanking her for the suggestion. Nickki nodded. Rachel turned her attention back to the blonde. "So, what do you think, Quinn?"
"Why not?" Quinn smiled, trying to hold herself together, while she was panicking on the inside. What was she suppose to do while Nickki shoved her and Rachel's dating in her face. Quinn knew that she was in trouble.
Hope you all liked it. The chapter will be the dreaded Double Date. See ya tomorrow.
