Quinn finally pulled up her car in front of the Hotel where Mr. Schuester was staying for the night in Connecticut. It was already past 1 am when they decided to call it a night.

"Again, thank you so much for coming Mr. Schue!" Quinn's energy never dropped down a level since she got off the stage about 5 hours ago.

"Always a pleasure Q. Take care of yourselves. It's late" their former teacher replied as he pulled back from the hug with the female blonde.

"Will do. Please say hi to Mrs. Schuester for us." Sam said as a smile graced his lips. Even though Mr. Schuester knows they are already both of age, he still cares. It's not because he was their teacher but simply because they treat each other like that; like family.

"Okay. So I won't bother you two tomorrow morning. I'll be heading straight to the train station. You guys enjoy the rest of the weekend. Have a date or something." Mr. Schue gave them a knowing look before cracking up. Quinn on the other hand blushed as red as a tomato.

"We're not—" Quinn started but Mr. Schue stopped her mid-sentence "Oh c'mon. No malice! Anyways, I really have to get some rest if I want to be able to wake up early tomorrow." The two blondes felt the ease come through them and started laughing. This is just Mr. Schue.

"Ahhh, look how much you two have grown." W ill gave a deep sigh which seemed like finality and patted both of his former students on the back before turning to walk inside the Hotel lobby. Within seconds, he was out of sight.

"So"

"So"

"When are you coming home?" Quinn her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. She doesn't want to admit it but she doesn't really want him to come home yet. But of course that will stay un-said. Sam feigned hurt and gave Quinn a puppy dog face.

"No, that's not what I meant! Like I was just asking when you have to go. It's late and ughh Sam stop that!" Quinn panicked but soon she realized he was only making fun of her so she started to laugh and slapped Sam on the arm.

"Ow" Sam said as he tried to dodge her hands. Quinn of course already knew what was going to come next. And surely when Sam got hold of her wrists, he pinned them to her back whilst tickling her until she can no longer speak. When he removed his hands from her and unpinned her to where she was, he was surprised that Quinn didn't try to retaliate but instead she took him in her arms and hugged him. Sam of course hugged back.

"Thank you, Sam."

"Anything for you." When they finally pulled back, Sam was debating himself whether it was already the right time to kiss her or not. So he stood frozen. Quinn on the other hand seemed to be waiting for the kiss to happen. She was worried she was making it all up in her head. She was worried there was really nothing and once again, she would only be left hanging. She was more worried thinking that she might be sending him all these signals which Sam may find crazy of her. But she was worried most that he would once again leave without her giving a shot in what she wanted most in the world right now. So, instead of worrying about everything else, she braced herself and leaned in to Sam's lips. No, their lips didn't meet just yet because at the last second she hesitated and opened her eyes just in time to see Sam's eyes closed as well. She wanted to lean right back in but a giggle escaped her lips instead which pulled Sam out of their trance. When he opened his eyes, he looked hurt but it quickly turned to confusion when he saw Quinn trying to stifle a giggle from coming out.

"What's so funny?" Sam asked, trying his best to hide the exasperation from his voice.

"Us. This." Finally, Quinn let herself laugh and Sam reciprocated with a big grin because really? Who doesn't get captivated when Quinn Fabray laughs? It's like seeing an angel being perfect.

"You, Samuel Evans have absolutely no idea…" Quinn was still laughing slightly; Sam was starting to think it was the alcohol they drank earlier. But it can't be because she only drank like half a glass. He cocked his head to the side to show Quinn he was still waiting for her to finish her sentence.

"You have absolutely no idea how much I want to kiss you right now." Quinn finally spat out. To Sam's surprise, he didn't really feel shocked or anything. He instead held her closer and twisted his hands on her waist.

"So why didn't you?" He replied, his tone light.

"That's a stupid question, Sam"

"Not if you give me a reasonable answer"

"Because you're supposed to—" But Sam didn't let Quinn finish because he already had his lips smashed against hers. Her shocked, frozen figure didn't last very long because she quickly kissed him back with as much passion as she could. If you ask Sam, this is even better than any kiss they shared before. He attacked her lips with his tongue and to his surprise, she swiftly opened and granted him entrance. It got heated and turned into a full on make-out session fast. Once they pulled away, they couldn't speak and had to catch their breath.

"Let's get us home." Sam suggested and untangled himself from Quinn. He opened the passenger side and Quinn got in without resistance. For the whole 15 minutes they drove in silence. Sure they had more to discuss but right now, all they wanted to do was preserve whatever they just had. It's such a good thing Lindsay already informed Quinn she wouldn't be coming home tonight.

ooOoo

It was about half past 3 am and they were still both wide awake. Quinn couldn't believe it. She just slept with Sam! Oh my gosh I just had sex with Sam. I swore I was over one night stands! But this is Sam god and he's just Sam! Quinn's thoughts were raising as she laid on her bed naked beside her, well they still haven't talked about it.

"Sam?"

"Hmm?" He replied as he kept on stroking Quinn's back. Her hair smelled distinctly of strawberries while the rest of her body smelled like vanilla. Sam swore these two scents will be imprinted on his mind forever.

"What are we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Us?" Quinn looked up and found Sam's eyes "We sort of skipped the relationship status change and you know…" Sam laughed at Quinn's statement. True, they didn't go by the book this time around. But he was happy nonetheless.

"Quinn Fabray, will you please be my girlfriend?" Sam can see she was shocked but she still smiled a smile that reached her ears.

"But what about the distance? I mean we won't see each other every day…" Quinn didn't want to contradict her own happiness but it's better than pretending to not have a problem only to have it all backfire on her.

"I can always move here… that is if you say yes." Sam shrugged. The truth is, the moment their lips touched, he already made up his mind. He will never let this girl go again.

"But what about modeling? And New York? It was your dream. I don't want to take you away from that." Quinn still wouldn't believe that for once, things are actually going her way.

"I like modeling but I don't think it likes me. I think I want to also attend college. You know find something I really like to do and train myself. And no, New York wasn't really my dream. It just happens that almost everyone was there and I didn't want to feel lonely you know…"

"I—I don't know what to say…" Quinn was beyond shock. She wants nothing more than to say yes to Sam but his future, she didn't want him to risk it just so he can be with her when she was so unpredictable; considering their rough history.

"Quinn, whatever you say, I just want you to know I'm also leaving New York. The agency where I work in, I don't think it can continue to pay me for just sitting around taking appointments of new models and taking calls if I don't get a modeling deal soon. Besides, I don't want them to change me so I can 'fit' a part. So it's either New Haven or Kentucky."

"You're considering moving back to Kentucky?"

"Well, my parents are back on their feet there so that won't hurt… I would like to find a college there or something that offers to train me and my music." Sam shrugged as he continued to tell Quinn about his partials plans. The truth of it was, he wasn't really happy anymore in New York. Not that he wasn't happy for his friends but to him, it seemed like everyone there had their own thing and it made him reconsider his options. With Blaine, Kurt, Artie and Rachel all in college already steps closer to their dreams; Santana and Brittany already planning their future together. From what he heard they were already planning on sealing their relationship.

"So you want to venture out in music?" Quinn broke him out of his thoughts.

"Maybe. I actually want anything to do with performing arts that is not too hard that it can ruin me." Sam laughed it off and Quinn followed thereafter.

"It all sounds like a dream to me." Quinn replied before kissing Sam once more.

"Is that a yes?" Sam half joked and half hoped for her to say yes.

"A thousand times yes." Quinn said kissing him yet again.

"I love you, Quinn" He was surprised he blurted that out but then he figured it was actually true. They might have not worked out the first time but he still loves her no less. She was everything he loved. Yes, he admits he also loved Mercedes and Brittany but they were different. No one could ever understand him like she will and the same goes for her.

"I love you too, Sam" Yes, Quinn really did say that. She loves Sam. Not the way he loved Puck or the way he will always feel about Finn but he loves Sam. Really loves him and that wouldn't go untold.

With one final kiss, they fell asleep in each other's arms waiting for the daylight to come, promising the both of them the happily ever after they have longed for.
