Chapter 21-I PromiseYou Forever

As the three girls waited for the bus, an annoying voice made Quinn snap up to attention.

"San!" Cassie called, running up to her. Then he redhead noticed Quinn and Brianna. "Oh. Hi Quinn. Who's this?"

"I'm Santana's cousin, Brianna," the teenager explained, "visiting."

"Oh, that's cool," Cassie said quickly, eyeing Quinn. "How are you, Quinn?"

"Great, fantastic even." Quinn forced a tight lipped smile. "How are you? Found any new, already taken women to stalk?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Quinn saw Bri's eyes widen and Santana's lips turn up in a smirk, and suppressing a giggle. But Quinn kept her bitch glare on Cassie, who frowned and growled, "Bitch."

"That makes two of us," Quinn retorted.

Cassie turned to Santana. "One hell of a girl you got there. Honestly I'm surprised you're still with her. When you get tired of her lack of class, you know where to find me." Cassie stormed off.

Bri's jaw dropped.

"Her? Class? Bull shit!" Quinn spat. Santana smile and took her girlfriend's hand.

"I love you," the Latina told her. Quinn smiled slightly and squeezed the hand that was wrapped in hers.

"Who the hell was hat bitch?" Bri queried, frowning.

"Cassie," Santana answered. "Let's just say she can't take no for an answer."

"Quinn did a fine job," Brianna approved. Santana nodded in agreement and nudged her girlfriend a bit. Quinn met her eyes and smiled shyly.

"Thank you, thank you very much!" Quinn acted out, giving a little bow as she smiled wider.

The bus ride to the coffee shop was short, so soon they were sitting at a table with Tina. "So, you're Brianna?" the Asian asked, a huge smile on her face.

Bri looked a little shy, but she nodded. "Yeah."

"How's staying here with these crazy girls?" Tina asked, taking a sip of her coffee and nodding towards Quinn and Santana. Bri smirked.

"Well..."

"Well, nothing," Santana snapped quickly. Quinn laughed, and Bri smirked again. Tina looked a them quizzically, but didn't say anything.

"Did you get to see anything cool, Bri?" Tina asked. Before Bri could say anything, Quinn spoke up.

"Aw crap, we totally forgot to take her to Times Square," Quinn grumbled, crossing her arms. "We had a game yesterday."

"Are you serious?" Tina exclaimed, gaping at Bri. "You haven't been to Times Square?"

"Well, once when I was really little we came here, and I have a picture, but I don't remember," Bri admitted.

"Oh, no, you're going to Times Square. C'mon guys," Tina insisted, standing up, her hand wrapped around her coffee. She led the three girls out of the coffee shop and to her car. "Get in guys, we have to get this done before Bri's flight."

Quinn laughed slightly but squeezed into the back seat with Santana. Brianna sat shotgun by Tina.

The next hour was the four girls running around Times Square and buying souvenirs like it was everyone's first time there. When it was time for them to leave, Tina decided to drive them all to the airport to see Bri off. They stopped by the dorms to grab the teenager's stuff, and then before they knew it, they were at the airport saying goodbye.

Santana gave her cousin a big hug, and so did Quinn. Just before Bri went onto the plane, Tina gave her a big smile. "Bri, Quinn told me what's going on with you. Don't be afraid to ask for help, okay? These brats would never have gotten together if it weren't for me, because Quinn asked for help. So remember, they're always here for you, okay?"

"Thanks," Bri said with a smile.

When life is good, time seems to fly.

After Bri left, Santana and Quinn's life went back to normal. It was only three weeks later that Bri called them and told them that Angela had decided to give her and Bri a chance. After that, Quinn realized that she was starting to get bored. No necessarily with being with Santana, no, definitely not. But for the whole time they'd been together, they'd been taking big steps. Now, they weren't.

Quinn felt like they needed to be taking more big steps. Like they should be moving faster.

But she waited. For weeks, she went to class, toTimes Square, to Central Park. She finally began to regularly speak to her mother. She hung out with Tina, made sure that Santana never spoke to Cassie, and she made sure that she went out on amazing dates with her perfect girlfriend.

For weeks.

Somehow, it was suddenly nearing her sixth month anniversary with Santana. It was the end of April. They'd always just gone out for their anniversaries, but now, Quinn had something big in mind.

Two days before the date, she skipped her morning class to go out into New York to buy Santana something special. For Santana no to know, she had to take a Taxi.

"Ooh, I think I recognize you," the driver said immediately as Quinn sat down.

the blonde sighed. The last time she'd used a taxi was on her first day in New York. It was Devon. "Times Square."

"Oh, you're the snappy one who won't say her name, isn't that right?" Quinn said nothing. "How's New York doin' for you?"

Quinn smiled slightly.

"You like it? Good changes? You're one of the lucky ones. Some people have really bad changes."

Silence.

"One thing about this city is that everything seems to move faster."

Faster.

"Subways are fast. People are fast. Traffic is fast, when it's not too congested. If you ask me, I think people's lives more fast here too. When I lived in the south, my girlfriend wanted to wait years to get married. It was upsetting actually, because I was ready. When we broke up, I moved up here. I've always admired the Big Apple, so of course I would come here. In half a year, I was in love with this beautiful girl, and it was in another half a year that I married her. Still am, too."

Married.

"Of course, that doesn't happen for everyone I guess. Maybe I'm just a fast person. I guess when you know it's right, you have to move fast before it's too late." Devon sounded like maybe he was just speaking his thoughts, but Quinn was listening, soaking in everything he was saying.

The taxi stopped at Times Square.

"Well, Miss No Name, here you go," Devon said, smiling at her through the mirror.

"Quinn," she finally said. "And thanks for the story. Like, really."

And she got out, closing the taxi door without another word.

I need to move faster. Before it's too late, like Devon said. I... I'm not just gonna buy Santana a great present. I'm gonna by her the thing that ensures that we will be completely bound together, forever.

Quinn was going to get Santana an engagement ring for her sixth month anniversary.

"What exactly are you looking for?" the older lady asked Quinn for the fourth time.

Quinn sighed. How much simpler could she say it? "An engagement ring."

"No," the woman snapped. "What do you expect from a marriage? Will he be fine with you proposing? Do you want kids? Etc..." hte woman croaked out.

"It's 'she', not he. I'm looking for forever. But the wedding ring symbolizes that, no the engagement ring," Quinn pointed out.

"Trust me, blondie, a bad engagement ring symbolizes 'not' forever, so a good ones must symbolize forever, yes?" the lady asked. "Yes, so come on."

Quinn followed he gray-haired woman through the small shop to the very back. She moves to the wall, which Quinn realized was made up huge drawers that looked like wooden panels. The old woman opened one and took out a box covered in a blue fabric and opened it.

Inside was a simple golden band with words engraved on the outside of it. Quinn gasped. It was simple, yet beautiful and... in a way, perfect. "What does it say?"

The lady handed the band to Quinn, who took care as she read the words.

I promise you forever.

"It's perfect!" Quinn breathed out a breath she hand't even been aware she was holding. Then an annoying thought nagged at her. "Uh, ho much?" Something this beautiful had to cost a fortune. A fortune that Quinn didn't have.

"Love does not have a price," the woman stated, turning and walking back to her desk. Quinn stood still, her head tilted to the right. THe woman called back to her, "For you, it's free."

Free? "A-are you sure?" Quinn stammered. Free?

The woman turned back to her and smiled. "Don't screw it up with your girl, blondie."

Quinn took a breath and smiled back. "I won't."
