Sorry it took so long to update. I hope you like this.
Ted
In a cab
"So I was going to take you to a bar, but then I realized what a dumb idea that was. So I was thinking Mexican food?" Quinn and I were in a cab on our way to dinner.
"Yeah that sounds good." She answers.
"You know I really don't know that much about you."
"Well you didn't really have a reason to. What do you want to know?"
"You're just going to tell me?" I say, surprised.
"Might as well, its not like I have a ton of friends." She takes a deep breath and looks down at her hands. "Do you want to know why I don't have friends?"
"Why?"
"Because, they all think i'm a slut." Well you are a stripper I think. "And yeah I know i'm a stripper, but they are strippers too."
"So then why do they think you a slut?"
"Because I'm pregnant."
"But its not like you slept with a random guy. You were engaged to Barney."
"Yeah, but they don't believe me when I tell them that. Well thats not true, they just. They don't want to be there because they know."
"They know what?"
"They know who I really am."
Barney
Outside that pizza place
"So this is the restaurant that we drove thirty minutes to eat at?" She says, looking confused.
"It might look like junk, but wait until you taste the pizza."
"Okay.." We go inside and i'm greeted by Max.
"Sup Max?"
"Hey Barney! Haven't seen you in a while." Max says.
"You know these people?" Robin asks.
"I come here a lot."
"Who's this?" Max asks, pointing at Robin.
"She's my girlfr... My friend. Robin." Crap. Robin heard that and is taken a little bit off guard.
"Uhh, hi." She finally recovers. "Nice to meet you."
"I have a special table reserved for you guys." Max says, he goes over to the best seat in the place. It was in the corner, full of privacy and somehow, despite the crappy location, had a really nice view of the city. Unfortunately it was occupied. Fortunately Max likes me better. "Get out, someone more important needs to sit here."
"Oh you don't have to do that." Robin says.
"No Robin, its okay. Let him".
"But Barney..."
"No, you deserve the best." We sit down and order a pizza, just plain cheese because they make that the best.
"So do you want to talk about it?"
"What?" She starts playing with her hair again, something she only does when she is uncomfortable.
"Why you were crying earlier? What were you thinking about."
"Oh, I. Don't."
"Come on Robin. You can tell me."
"No I don't want to." She was really upset now. "Maybe this was a bad idea."
"No, its not. Okay we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
"Thank you."
"But you know if you ever do want to talk about it, you can call me."
"Thanks."
"I'm serious Robin, even if its three in the morning, I would want to talk to you." Because I'm in love with you.
Ted
With Quinn in the cab
"Who are you really?"
"It's going to be hard to explain."
"So you are just this mystery women who made Barney Stinson commit? Trust me there aren't a lot of people who can do that."
"Well I don't really think I was that person. Only one person can do that."
"He was going to marry you."
"Yeah, but it didn't work out. Because I wasn't the right one. The right one was Robin."
"You know about that?"
"Yeah, half the reason why I feel so bad about being here is because I'm messing up their relationship. I don't think I've ever seen people better suited for each other, except maybe Lily and Marshall." She's right. No matter how many times I try to make Robin fall in love with me, she won't. Robin and I are never going to be together.
"What's the other reason?"
"Ha, that the part you don't know about me."
"Could you at least give me a hint." Our cab ride was over and I was helping her out of the cab. "We need something to talk about during dinner."
"What if I showed you? After dinner though, because I'm really hungry."
Robin
Pizza Place
Why is he acting like this? Barney has never been the touchy feely type. That's Ted, if Ted was asking me this stuff it would be okay, because I can say no to Ted. I don't know if I can say no to Barney. Thank god that Max guy came back with the pizza. "I hope its really is as good as you said it was."
"Its going to be Sherbatsky, just wait." I grab a piece and took my first bite. Now I thought that burger we chased down with Marshall and the gang was the best meal I ever had. I was wrong. This was heaven.
"Oh my god Barney. Why didn't you ever tell me about this place before. This is amazing."
"Told yeah. Was it worth the drive?"
"Mmhmm" I mumble, too busy eating. This might be the best thing I ever had ever. Oh my god this pizza is so good. "We have to come here like every day." I say grabbing another slice.
"I'd like that." I wipe pizza sauce from my mouth. "Slow down there a little bit."
"Sorry, do you want more?" I realize I just ate four pieces in under ten minutes. I'm a little bit ashamed but also really proud.
"No, its fine we can always order another one." I kind of stopped listening to him and worked on slice five. I then realized what I wasn't listening and heard him say. "Do you need anything else?"
"No. How many times do I have to tell you, I don't want to talk about it." Can't he just leave me alone.
"I was talking about the pizza." Oh god. Oh no. I suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. "What is going on with you?"
"I, I have to go to the bathroom." I get up and grab my purse. I basically run into the bathroom and pray that there wasn't any nosy girls in there asking me why I was crying.
Ted
Mexican place
So we had just finish our food and I was ready to find out about Quinn. She kept me waiting all night long. Saying that it would be worth the wait. I actually started getting a little bit scared. What if her secret was something crazy. But we talked a lot during dinner and I don't think thats possible. She was actually turning out to be a pretty nice person. "Are we ready now?"
"I think so. Yeah. Okay we need to go to the Lusty Leopard." She says.
"I know you were a stripper."
"No, I have to get my stuff from there. I never actually went to pick it up when I quit. Plus, what I want to show you is there."
"Okay. Lets go then."
Robin
Bathroom (honestly she basically always is in the bathroom lol, okay sorry back to the story)
Why am I like this? Why can't I just tell him what I was thinking. Why can't I tell him that I love him. I love him. I'm in love with Barney Stinson. "Robin!" It was Barney. I'm okay, don't come in I don't say anything. I stare at my reflection, which was harder to see through the tears. "Robin? I know you are in there." I wipe away tears and get mascara on my sweater sleeves. I look at my reflection again, guess this sweater doesn't really make me look that great. I feel pretty shitty now."ROBIN? PLEASE JUST COME OUT." He's begging you now. Just go. But I can't. I'm not moving. I don't know why I just can't. "Okay fine Robin." Instead of leaving like I thought he was going to he came in.
"You can't be here." I say but its to late. He's holding me and i'm crying and this is all just too much.
A/N:Woah okay i'm listening to this song Why Don't You Love Me by Hot Chelle Rae ft Demi Lovato and literally its basically Robin and Barney's situation in this story. Just thought I would let you know wthat.
Also how is it that i made Robin cry again AGAIN. LIKE WTH IS MY PROBLEM. Okay I'll try to not make her cry in the next chapter. Oh wait thats a lie because she will be crying from this chapter. Okay sorry if you really don't like that. Also I'm sorry if this Quinn/Ted story line is boring you. I really like it, but I don't know what you guys think about it.
Also does anyone else really want pizza now?
