'What is Love?' Chapter Twenty Five "The Date"
"So where are we going?" Rachel asked Annie who smiled.
"Breadsticks sound good?"
"Yeah, sure." Rachel smiled.
When they both got to Breadsticks to their surprise it was pretty much empty. Their was a few other couples but overall it was dead. "Two please." Annie said to the hostess.
"Sorry no more seating." the girl said painting her nails.
"What are you talking about there's a ton of seating left." Rachel said looking around.
"Listen I don't think you know who I am. I'm Annie Bracket Sheriff Brackets daughter and if you don't sit us the fu-"
"Ohhh! Ms Bracket please this way." the manager said over hearing. Annie smirked and walked towards a booth while the manager growled at the lazy hostess.
"So what will it be today ladies?" an older woman asked holding her notepad in hand.
"Um, I'll have a Dr Pepper please." Rachel replied.
"Water please." Annie said back.
The waitress nodded and left.
"So...how do you like McKinley?" Rachel asked.
"Eh it's alright, I like how everyone listens to me though." Annie chuckled.
'So does Quinn. No! No Rachel no thinking about Quinn when your trying to move on!'
The waitress came back "Are you two ready to order?"
"Uh..." Rachel looked at Annie.
"Actually I would like a salad, Rachel?"
"Um, I'll take a garden burger."
The waitress nodded looking at Rachel with confusion "Okay, my name is Alice if you ladies need anything else just holler." she smiled and walked away.
"So how long have you been a vegan?" Annie asked.
"Since I went to a slaughter house when I was nine."
Annie made a disgusted face.
"Yeah, exactly, I still have nightmares."
Annie giggled.
Ten minutes later their food came.
"Thank you." Rachel said along with Annie.
Rachel lifted up her burger and drew a big bite.
She stopped mid chew...something tasted off, different.
"Rachel what's wrong?" Annie asked.
Rachel started gagging and stood up abruptly bumping into a waiter who spilled a plate of spaghetti on Annie and Rachel.
The taste of meat melted into Rachel's taste buds. The smell of meat balls and red sauce covered both brunettes and made Rachel hurl on the waiter.

"I am so. Sorry." Rachel said sitting in Annie's car outside of her house.
"It's okay, I understand." Annie chuckled.
They locked eyes when Rachel caught sight of a noodle hanging from Annie's ear.
Rachel started laughing along with Annie as she took it off.
"You know despite the fact that we both have spaghetti in our hair and you ate meat and we both got covered in speghetti and meat balls, I still had fun."
Rachel chuckled. "Me too."
Annie slowly leaned in closing her eyes.
'Holy crap! Oh my gosh, she wants a kiss! Do it Rachel do it!' Rachel thought to herself. Rachel snapped out of her thoughts when Annie stopped halfway to her. Rachel pushed her nerves away and slowly met Annie halfway. Lightly pecking her lips. Annie's lips were soft and tasted like strawberry lip gloss.
Rachel pulled away and smiled softly. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay." Annie smiled. "I'll pick you up in the morning."
"Alright, night."
"Goodnight." Annie grinned.

Rachel opened her door waving goodbye to Annie and walked in seeing her dad's and Quinn watching a movie. They all turned their heads to her and gasped.
"What happened to you?" Quinn growled.
Rachel chuckled pulling off a piece of spaghetti. "Um well the waitress gave me meat which I took a bite of, I freaked out and tripped a waiter who dropped a huge plate of spaghetti on Annie and I."
Jonah snorted and began laughing which caused Rachel to laugh as well.
"Come on sweetheart I'll help clean you up." Jonah laughed leading Rachel to her bathroom.
Jim squeezed Quinn tighter kissing her temple. "Remember Quinn, patience."
Quinn nodded wiping her tear away before it fell. "At least she's laughing again."

Once Jonah and Rachel settled down he finally asked his daughter his question. "Sweetie?"
Rachel looked up smiling. "Yeah dad?"
"Do you like Annie? Or are you just using her?"
"What do you mean by using her?" Rachel asked furrowing her eyebrows.
"Like making Quinn jealous, or using Annie to get over Quinn."
"Dad." Rachel groaned shaking her head.
"I just don't want you leading this girl on if you still have feelings for Quinn."
"I'll always feel something for Quinn but right now, I don't feel in love." Rachel said shurrging her shoulders.
"What do you feel?"
"...I don't know...But dad no offence but, I haven't even spoken to Quinn or Santana about this, and I feel like I need to talk to them first. You know?"
"Of course. I'm here when you need to talk." Jonah smiled softly placing a kiss on Rachel's forehead.
"Thanks dad."

After Rachel talked on the phone to Clarissa about her date she sat on her bed looking through old photographs on her laptop of her, Quinn, Santana, and Brittany. They were all so happy she wished none of this would have happened. That Quinn wouldn't have cheated but she knew everything happened for a reason, and maybe Quinn cheating on her was meant to happen so she could grow, or meet someone who she loved more than Quinn. Rachel snorted at that thought she knew she felt like she was on top of the world with Quinn but maybe for now they just needed time apart, and Annie and her friends were already helping her.
Rachel put down the picture and stood up walking towards Quinn's room and was about to knock but stopped she shook her head and began to walk away. To day just wasn't the day. She walked away right when Quinn walked up the stairs. Rachel looked at her for a moment and nodded. "Night." and shut the door.
"Goodnight, I love you." Quinn whispered to where Rachel was just standing feeling her heart clench and walked away to her empty bed.
