Chapter 20

Everyone was excited; it was finally that time, time to go to New York. Rachel was the most excited, and it showed. She had been annoying Quinn nonstop when she ran around singing show tunes and said long speeches in glee every day. Quinn was finally happy that it was the day they left, so Rachel could finally shut up about it, but the blonde knew that her girlfriend would just get more excited as time when on.

"Should I wear this, or...this?" Rachel said, holding up two outfits. Quinn sighed heavily and looked up from her magazine. She was seated on the end of Rachel's bag as the diva finished some last minute packing, and decided what she was going to wear.

"Why does it matter what you wear? We're just going to be sitting on a plane, and then going to a hotel."

"Because Quinn New York is amazing, and it still matters what I wear when we show up there. It has to be stylish yet comfortable."

"Since when have you cared about how you dress, usually you just stick to animal prints."

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."

Quinn chuckled, which was getting easier for her. Her chest didn't hurt as much when she laughed and breathed. Her body was healing a little more. She was able to walk without being in so much pain, and she could actually bend down now if she was being careful.

"Just pick something Rach; you look great in both of those outfits."

The diva sighed and finally deciding, she forced Quinn to turn around as she dressed, and then she slipped her colorful, striped coat and white hat on. She and Quinn hadn't gone very far in the intimate direction, mostly because of Quinn's healing, but they definitely still got as heated as they could. They both had a feeling New York may just be the place where things become extra special, but they both didn't voice their opinions on that.

...

They ran a little late as they entered the airport, they were late thanks to Rachel's need to pack everything she could ever possibly think of needing in New York, that they just caught a glimpse of Mr Schue leading the students towards their plane that was already boarding.

"You guys are late..." Mr Schue said pointing to his watch, "Which is shocking because Rachel you're always early."

"I'm sorry Mr. Schue I just had some issues packing this morning," Rachel said before following the rest of the club onto the plane. Quinn sent him a shrug slowly following her girlfriend. They were already aware they weren't seated together and it gave Quinn an unsettling feeling in her stomach because she knew Rachel and Finn were beside each other. The blonde tried to shrug it off and as much as she tried to rid it, the jealousy was still there. She and Rachel didn't talk much about the whole Finn situation, when Quinn had asked if there was something going on between them, Rachel was sincere with her response the blonde had dropped it, but she still had the feeling that even though there wasn't something there Finn definitely had something up his sleeve.

After the girls made up, Quinn was still uncomfortable with how much time Finn and Rachel were spending together, practicing their 'Pretending' duet for the competition. She watched with steady and intense eyes while Rachel took her seat beside Finn. It didn't take long for him to say something that had her laughing, and gripping onto his arm lightly.

"If you stare any harder maybe the knives you're wishing you were throwing at Finn, may magically appear." Santana said from behind Quinn. The blonde stiffened, she and Santana hadn't talked much after the Latina's big confession.

"Get lost Santana..."

"Fabray, you can't shut me out forever, I said I was sorry get over it."

Quinn was still healing and as she tried to put her luggage in the compartment her body wouldn't let her stretch like that, she winced and Santana was quick to grab the blonde's luggage and do it for her.

"You almost broke me and Rachel up..."

"I know, but I shouldn't be the one you're worried about. Finn's been all over Rachel for days..."

"She doesn't have feelings for him San. Finn can try all he wants but he'll just fall flat on his face."

Quinn slowly sat down beside the window, and Santana was quick to follow and took the seat beside her. The ex-cheerio grabbed Santana's ticket out of her hand and glanced at the seat assignment; she groaned when she realized they were stuck together, on the way there and back.

"How can you assume he'll fall flat on his face?" Santana yanked the ticket back from Quinn, and the blonde raised her eyebrow. "Finn always winds up getting her back. They've been on and off for a while now and let's face it she only started loving you because she felt sorry for you."

Quinn glared at her friend, if she could even call Santana that half the time. "Rachel doesn't love Finn."

"Keep telling yourself that blondie" Santana mumbled, before leaning her head against the back of the seat.

...

The plane ride had been long and everyone was happy to stretch their feet, Mr. Schuester had put all the boys in one hotel room and all the girls in the other. He was a little unsure about that, due to the relationships between Quinn, Rachel, Brittany and Santana. But he figured they wouldn't be up to anything, if everyone was sharing the room. After they got settled in their hotel rooms, they toured New York for a while, and after a few hours everyone found them self ready to crash.

"Hey Rachel, wait..." Finn said, as they walked through the hotel, towards the elevators. Rachel and Finn were the last ones to get back. Quinn had spent a lot of the day with Santana and Brittany only because she wanted to spend some time with her friends, and Jesse wound up showing up causing Rachel to spend the rest of her day with her best friend as well.

Rachel pressed the up button for the elevator, "Yes Finn?" He hurried up to her, making sure to slip into the elevator with her. They slowly walked into it and Finn pressed the floor number.

"I was wondering...if you'd want to hang out tonight."

"Finn, it's rather late."

"It's only 8, and I was just thinking maybe we could grab a late dinner and just go for a walk. We're friends right? I thought since we've been spending a lot of time rehearsing that we patched things up."

Rachel bit her bottom lip, contemplating it. She was enjoying the friendship they had managed to reform and she was hungry, but she couldn't get Quinn out of her head, all she really wanted was to curl up with her girlfriend.

"Quinn's probably waiting for me..."

Finn took in a deep breath, he tried to hide that he was irritated by that and for now it worked. "I'm sure she won't mind just text her or something."

Just as he said that her phone vibrated and she pulled it out to check the message.

Hey baby. Hanging with San & Britt in the hotel room, Luv u-Q

Rachel looked up at Finn, who stared at her with a questioning gaze, still wondering what she was going to say. She looked back down at her phone and quickly sent a text back to her girlfriend.

Okay, see you later baby. Love you too. –R

"Quinn's hanging out with Brittany and Santana, so I guess we can go grab some food."

Finn whispered an 'awesome' to himself and began to get excited. Yes, he was still in love with Rachel and he was hoping this week in New York, would draw them closer together. The elevator opened on their floor but Finn was quick to press the close door button and hit the number for the lowest floor.

"Where do you wanna eat?" He asked, as he shoved his hands in his jean pockets.

Rachel shrugged, "a place where they serve vegan food. Quinn has this list of all these vegan restaurants in Lima and-"

"Rach, can we talk about something else..." Finn asked as they got out of the elevator and walked out of the hotel.

"I guess..."

Finn licked his lips in nervousness and placed his hand on Rachel's lower back as he guided her through the streets of New York, heading to a small cafe he decided on. He kept thinking it was probably the safe choice.

"I guarantee you that she's with that giant right now." Santana said, as she looked out of the hotel room window. The three of them were the only ones in the room, everyone else found something else to do.

Quinn furrowed her brows at Santana's statement and sighed heavily, "What makes you say that?"

Santana chuckled, "all you have to do is look out the window. You girlfriend is totally playin' you."

Quinn raised an eyebrow and looked out the window, her eyes widened a little bit as she saw the two walking down the street, Finn's massive hands were on her girlfriend and it caused her to tense.

Rachel stopped in her tracks and it made Quinn grow more interested in what was about to happen. She shouldn't have been spying but she couldn't help it. Her jealousy and insecurities tromped her morals in this certain situation.

"Finn, may I ask you something?" Rachel said, looking up at him.

"Sure..." He shrugged.

"Why did you ask me to spend time with you tonight?"

"Because I wanted to hang out..." Finn was trying his best not to fall into Rachel's trap.

"I know there's more to it, and I thought I told you that I'm not interested..."

Finn took her hand and held it against his chest, Rachel looked up at him once again, "Finn..."

"Rachel just listen; I'm sorry for everything I did to you, I'm sorry I hurt you and I know you said you weren't interested but what changed? Before you and Quinn got closer I thought we were heading back to how we use to be."

"Finn, I changed. I-I'm gay..." Rachel heard her words out loud, and nodded to get her point across. "I'm not the same person you fell in love with."

Finn furrowed his brows, and she could tell he was getting a little angry. "Rach, I always loved you and you loved me not to long ago. People don't just wake up and stop loving someone."

Rachel scoffed, "No, but they do move on Finn. That's exactly what I did and in the mean time I found out who I was."

"I know who you are Rach...I always have and I love you."

Rachel tried to pull her hand back, but Finn drew it closer, which caused him to pull her closer as well. He took his free arm and wrapped it around her lower back and pressed her body against his. "Just give me another chance...please." before Rachel could answer he slowly dipped his head down and connected their lips.

Quinn's eyes widened as she watched them through the window and she quickly looked away, and headed over to the bed and sat down beside Brittany. She wasn't even going to admit that Santana was right, but Santana was aware of it seen as she had been watching with Quinn, the blonde just wasn't aware.

"I told you." The Latina said with a shrug.

"San, shut up." Quinn mumbled, she fought with herself and managed to hold back all emotion, and the tears.

Rachel managed to come down from her shock and pushed Finn away, "I can't Finn, I'm in love with Quinn and clearly if you really knew me you wouldn't have done that and if you love me you would have respected me enough to put aside what you want, and want me to be happy, and I'm happy with Quinn." She pushed him slightly, and then stormed past him in an angry haze. She had to walk away or she would've slapped him, and she wasn't going to let him push her that far.

...

The hotel room was dark when Rachel had walked in. Before she returned back to the hotel room, she had picked up food and went on a late night walk to help defuse the anger.

"Baby?" Quinn whispered from the spot on her bed.

Rachel jumped and turned to face where the voice had came from, "Quinn, you scared me...I thought you were asleep."

"I couldn't sleep." The blonde said in an emotionless tone.

Rachel quickly slid on some pj's and then slid in the bed beside Quinn. She cuddled into the blonde and as much as the ex-cheerleader was hurting, her arms slipped around her girlfriend naturally. She pulled Rachel against her and the brunette pecked her lips before snuggling closer.

"So, what did you do tonight?" Quinn whispered, trying to fight through the lump in her throat.

"Nothing exciting, I just went for a walk." The diva whispered in a sleepy voice.

Quinn swallowed thickly and closed her eyes tightly to avoid tears from falling, "Goodnight Rach."

"Goodnight baby, I love you."

"Love you too Rach..."
