CHAPTER XIV
"Quinn... Quinn...? Quinn!"
Quinn flinched and then saw Brittany pouting beside her,"What, Britt?"
Brittany S. Pierce still pouting said,"You daydreaming again, Quinn! Ah, you obviously didn't hear what I just said."
Quinn shook her head,"No. I'm sorry Britt. I'm just tired, that's all."
"Lately, you always daydreaming Quinn. Anyway, today is Rachel's birthday. She invited us and Santana to celebrate it along with Finn. Please come with me and San?"
Quinn drank her cup of tea, thought for a second. Why not? She didn't have any routines beside teaching and cleaning Sam's apartment. She should live a little. She should enjoy New York like she had before,"Why not?"
"Good! Come on! Meet up with Santana. We are going to Ramses tonight! Rachel berry treats us!" said Brittany cheerfully. Finally Quinn back on her daily life. It was like once in blue moon asking Quinn to join them in some kind of party. Because Quinn never or barely do that kind of thing.
Brittany was glad because Quinn have many free time, Sam was busy preparing his father's orchestra and Quinn spent more time with her, kids and with Tina sometimes. Quinn knew Ramses was expensive restaurant but she didn't care. All she wants just find a distraction to do anything in her life. She even confused her life wasn't like this before she met Sam. It was changed almost everything. Her routines, her daily life, her schedule.
It was already two weeks. She didn't meet Sam Evans. He was busy with his father, preparing everything for orchestra. Quinn glad that Sam found his activity back, but she couldn't deny either that she missed him very much. Every morning, Quinn would go to Sam's apartment to clean everything. But, if Quinn thought for a moment, actually she shouldn't have come every morning because everything would not be messed up within a day. Because Sam Evans never go home lately.
And then why is she keep coming every morning? Quinn herself couldn't find her answer. Maybe because it was her job to do, or maybe it was her daily routines. Or maybe, Quinn deep down hoped that she might found him in his apartment eventhough it's just for a moment.
But why she wanted to meet him so bad? Quinn took her deep breath. She didn't know why she keep asking herself that question. Unfortunately, she never meet him. Sam even didn't call her or send her any messages. Because he didn't know almost every night she secretly hoped that her phone will vibrates and showed his message.
Fact that almost every morning Quinn found his bedroom simply neat was a sign that he didn't came home. And then why was he? Where did he go? Quinn sighed and found herself ridiculous thinking about those things. Because Quinn felt lonely. Oh my god, her loneliness made her sounds even more ridiculous.
"Oh come on, Q! Stop sighing." Brittany prostested Quinn sighs and made her back from her daydream,"What happened to you, actually Q?"
"Nothing. Come on, Santana waiting for us." Said Quinn nodding her head. She laughed along the way. She tried to find distraction by having fun with her friends and one of that was going to Rache Berry's party at Ramses.
-S&Q-
"Should I go, Dad?" asked Sam Evans to his father when they were in his father's meeting room discussing some projects for the orchestra show coming up. His father said that he would treat all of his co-workers and musicians in his orchestra tonight because they worked hard for this show.
"yes, I already booked the tables Samuel."
"Can I not go?"
"Why? Have any other plans?"
"I'm just tired. I rather stay at home, dad."
"Your mom with Stacy and Stevie are going to reunion with her friends. They come back after dinner."
Sam groaned. He really didn't like this. He didn't like to sit like a stupid boy and then babbling around with some random musicians.
"I promised to girls that you would come, Sam." Said his father winked at him.
"Girls?"
"Violists. Come on! Live a little, son. If you wanna come just meet me at Ramses. I gotta go now, son. See you there." Said his father and then walked away from him.
Sam didn't give him any responses, he just shrugged and then rest his head on the chair. He wanted to go home but no one was at home. Everybody was gone, his mother will coming home after she had dinner with her friends. So, no one prepared him a dinner.
But he had another choice, he could call Quinn Fabray to come to his apartment and then asked her to make him a dinner. Sounds a like plan though.
It was already two weeks since last time he saw her. She left him angry, he didn't even knew why. He always tried to call her but he always back off and then thought that it wasn't good idea to call her. Why? Because he didn't know what will he say after she picked up the phone. Sam Evans sounded like a fool. Did he avoiding her? Maybe he was. Because everytime he met her, she always drove him crazy. She always made him thinks his feelings all over again whether it was true or not.
But he always wanted to meet her, to hear her voice or her silly laughs. Don't ask why, because Sam himself couldn't find the answer. He looked at his cell phone, and then he played it whether he should call her or not. And then he thought something...
Why she wasn't try to call him?
If she really wanted to help him and felt responsible to fix everything happens, she should call him right? She should call me and asked him whether he's alright or not. She was supposed to do those things right?
Sam frowned, he looked at his phone like his phone did everything wrong and then he could throw it anywhere he likes it. She probably have fun with her friends, thought Sam. He should go to somewhere else too. And then he remembered something. Sam took his money and then stopped taxi to deliver him all the way to Ramses.
-S&Q-
On the way to Ramses, Brittany couldn't hide her exictement to finally had dinner at Ramses. She admitted that it was her first time to visit Ramses, the most expensive restaurant in New York. Quinn said to her that Britt should say thanks to Rachel Berry because she brought her here. Well, Rachel was Quinn's old friend back in high school. Quinn and Rachel had separate ways though, Rachel wanted to be Broadway Star and Quinn focused herself on dance. Brittany actually didn't know Rachel at first place, but Santana, Brittany's friend worked together with Rachel in Broadway so four of them apparantly became friends since then but rarely meet each other.
Just in time Rachel Berry's birthday, she invited Britt, Santana and Quinn to joined her. Brittany heard from Santana that Rachel wanted to tell them about her engangement with her co-star Finn Hudson. When they arrived at Ramses, the restaurant already full with people. It was usual thing to Ramses because this restaurant always crowded everyday. A woman asked Santana whether they already booked a table or not. Fortunately, Brittany saw Rachel waved her hand on the corner of the restaurant.
Quinn looked around to this restaurant. She didn't have any experience eating in this restaurant in her entire life. She barely saw empty tables around her. All waiters and waitresses dressed nicely, Rachel must be very success now in her Broadway show. Quinn was left by Brittany and Santana because they walked faster than her and she was busy looking her surroundings. Until she heard a voice called her name. She knew this voice,
"Fabray?"
Quinn turned around and found Sam Evans standing in front of her. He wore his favorite shirt inside but he also wore a simple tux. He looked really cool with that, and Quinn gasped because her effect shocking moment. Brittany stood up from her seat to make sure Quinn was fine. When Brittany stood, Santana, Rachel and Finn also stood up. Quinn looked to Sam then to her friends. She shouldn've greet Rachel first, but...
"I'll be right back." Quinn mouthed to her friends. Brittany nodded as a sign of okay, but Rachel wondered who was that guy?
Sam lead Quinn to sit at two chairs at Ramses bar. Quinn didn't order any drinks because she wouldn't be long talking to Sam. He looked over to the direction where all of Quinn's friends sat. And he found Finn Hudson laughing three girls. Sam commented to Finn,"Wow, he got four girls in his arms."
Quinn took that words as an offensive words. He misunderstood Finn, Quinn even noticed a jealousy tone in his voice. Quinn cleared her throat,"He's my friend's fiancee. My friend celebrating her birthday and she brings her fiance."
"Oh," that was all his respond that she got.
"What are you doing in here, anyway? I thought you are busy with your father."
"I came her with my father, he's over there with his co-workers and other musicians." Sighed Sam. His father was busy talking to his co-workers and Sam was bored, it was unexpected to meet Quinn in this place. Quinn stood up and was about to greet Dwight Evans but she saw him busy discussing things, so she got back to her seat.
Trying to break the awkwardness, Quinn started a conversation,"So, we didn't meet for like two weeks. How are you?"
"Fine."
"And then, how was your hand? Any better?"
Sam moved his left hand slowly, and showed it to Quinn. Her eyes sparkled and hands covered her mouth. Sam said,"I can move my left hand now, not much but it's a progress I think. So I can perfectly heal."
Quinn cheered happily,"Thanks God! It's good news!"
Sam looked down trying to hide up his face because when his hand finally healed, it means Quinn will stop working with him. It didn't mean that Sam will lose a lackey, but he would miss her presence at his apartment,"If you say so," he murmured,"Anyway, how are you?"
"Very well." Quinn answered him at the moment.
Sam set his eyes on her. Tried to read her face, because his feelings told him it was lie. Quinn felt uncomfortable when she saw Sam's face seems like he didn't believe her. Sam watched her from head to toe. It wasn't right...
"You look thinner, and you look pale. Did you even sleep?"
Sam Evans's words choked her to her throat. She didn't think that Sam would notice some changes in her. Even her friends didn't notice her changes of her weights or her face. But he did. Did he really watch her everytime or her changes were too clearer in public?
"How many hours did you take to sleep?"
Oh no, he noticed this also. How could she say about this?
"How many hours did you take to sleep?" He repeated his question. Eyes set on her.
Quinn gave him fake laughs and then spoke up,"We didn't meet for two weeks and then you asked me my sleep time? You even didn't coming home!"
Sam smiled when she seems looked for him for two weeks. "I did. But my father picked me up early in the morning and then I ate breakfast with him. After that we work all day."
Quinn was about to giving him an argument when suddenly a random brunnette woman came over to Sam. She said that his father called him to eat dinner. Sam didn't try to pull away that woman, although she put her arm around Sam like they were a couple. This girl was a kind of flirty no better than Emily.
Although the girl flirt to him like crazy, but Sam told her that he should talk privately with Quinn. The random girl saw Quinn and then scoffed, Quinn looked over to herself. Was she that ugly or what? Both Emily and this random girl scoffed when they looked at her.
After the girl walked away to Sam, he turned away to face Quinn again. But Quinn was busy looking over herself,"Don't mean that girl. You look beautiful tonight."
Quinn's eyes widened,"What?"
"What?" Sam asked her back.
"What did you said?"
"I said nothing." Said Sam in flat tone but speechless, he seems didn't want to talk about it. So he changed the topic,"I don't know why I'm telling you this but, I stay at my parents house lately. So if you wonder where I am, you know it already."
Quinn murmured,"Yes, I know. You didn't have to tell me. I let myself too worry about you."
Sam let out a small laughed and then he spoke up with his soft voice again,"If you worry about me. You can call me anytime."
And then just like every talks they had, an awkward silent floated around the air. Quinn cleared her throat and then she realized that should go back to ger friends. Although Sam didn't want to separate with Quinn, he let her go. Quinn just walked a couple steps until Sam spoke up for her behind,"Fabray, tonight I'm coming home. Make sure you come to my apartment tomorrow morning."
Quinn kept walking and just gave him a simple nod. She hid her smile because finally she going back to Sam's apartment and he's gonna be there. She missed working in his apartment with his apartment. Although it sounds strange, but Quinn wasn't lie.
Rachel and Finn already ordered her food, Quinn couldn't say thank you enough to both Rachel and Finn. They planned their wedding within month, probably next month. Quinn admitted that Rachel and Finn were a cute couple. She even wondered when will she walks down the aisle, and his groom waiting for her. When Quinn imagined that, her eyes landed on Sam Evans.
-S&Q-
Why she have to smile like that to almost everytime? Thought Sam Evans from his table, without let his eyes away from Quinn Fabray's table. She said something that makes all of her friends laugh. Sam bet she was talking about stupid jokes like she always did. Some odds feelings hitting him, when he saw Quinn laughed and smiled to other people, his heart ache.
It wasn't because he didn't like to see her smiles, but because when she saw him. She was just like usual, she wasn't acting like she hadn't meet him for two weeks. But she just saw him like they met everyday. Maybe it didn't makes any sense to him. But it was.
Avoiding her for two weeks, Sam didn't get any good results. At first, he avoided her because he felt guilty to Puck. Sam felt like he stabbed him from his back, because that night she supposed to be with Puck, had dinner with him and she supposed to hear Puck's admittance. But the reality was, Quinn spent a whole night with him. Had dinner, talked, even worse she slept over in his apartment and he kissed her for god's sake!
If only Sam wanted to admit, the reason why he felt guilt was not only because he practically stole Puck's opportunity to be with Quinn. But because Sam felt happy with Quinn that night. He spent his night with his pleasure.
But then come on, Puck wasn't do anything in two weeks when he tried to avoid Quinn. Nothing! Sure, Puck hang out with her a couple times but then again Puck said that it wasn't the right time to tell her his true feelings. Stupid! He wanted to mad and yell to Puck, but he couldn't.
Sam was trying to help him! But Puck was clueless. He knew nothing. But, right now Sam didn't want to stay away from Quinn again. He wanted her to make him a coffee every morning. He wanted her to cook for him. He wanted her to do his orders. He wanted her closer with him. He wanted her to light up his life everyday. What? Did Quinn Fabray just turned into bright angel for him? Did she no longer a dark angel for Sam Evans?
He looked up to Quinn Fabray again. She was smiling, but she looked bored. He grabbed his phone.
-S&Q-
Quinn Fabray had enough already. She wanted to go back home as far as she could. She murmured and nodded once or twice. Her friends talked about a show held by Sebastian Alexander Dance Company next week. And Quinn didn't want to talk about it.
Her phone vibrated. Quinn was shocked for a bit but smiled when she read the name of the sender. But in all of sudden, she frowned. Why Sam Evans texted her?
You look bored.
What did he means? Did he watched her all the time? She looked up to his table and Sam smiled before he turned his face away.
She replied: I'm not bored.
Sam replied her text less than a minute.
Umm it's fine if you didn't want to admit. I know you are bored. Me too. Let's talk.
Quinn rolled her eyes before she answered: oh come on, Sam. You came with a lot of people and lots of ladies. But well, let's talk. What do you wanna talk about?
Sam scoffed. Silly girl. You haven't answer my question. How many hours did you take to sleep?
Like usual.
Like usual? That means you still can't sleep well?
It's not new thing for me. I kinda get used to it.
Sam knew it wasn't just usual problem. He replied her text faster: have you try to sleep with my songs? Last time you heard my songs you felt asleep instantly.
I tried. Not working, sorry Sam.
He smirked. He typed a jackpot words: Then you should sleep at my apartment.
Quinn scoffed when she read his text. And then she murmured,"Are you kidding me?"
Brittany noticed this and then opened her mouth,"What are you doing, Q?"
"Texting. With my mom. She asks a lot of things."
And then Finn told them jokes about mothers and something that made their conversation starts again. Quinn didn't reply Sam's text again. But when she looked up to Sam, she could find that he glared at her. He showed his phone up and then mouthed: look at your phone. Quinn was not interesting at first but she found a new text from Sam.
Hey, Fabray. Make sure you don't have any date for tomorrow night.
Quinn bit ler lip angrily. This man was just too...
Why? You wanna take me on a date?
I don't know that you want me to take you on a date.
Quinn could be yelling at him right now but she sighed and finally she replied: forget my words. What should I do tomorrow night?
Sam smirked at his phone, I'll tell you tomorrow morning. (P.s: Fabray, eat out your foods if you are not anorexic girl)
Quinn read his text disblieve what just he said. When she looked at him sharply, he just smirked and then, he put his phone on his coat. It was a sign that he didn't want to continue their conversation.
