Don't own glee or Titanic. Enjoy :)
Chapter 50
It took her a couple of days, but she finally got it. With the help of Puck, Blaine, Sam, and maybe a little complaining from Santana. Also some help from Artie and the AV club, Quinn had her surprise for Rachel ready. Now all she needs to do is text Rachel to meet her there, and her plan could commence.
'Come to the auditorium quick' was the text Rachel received doing her first bell. She was now heading to her second, which was study hall. She wasn't such what was going on. For the past few days Quinn had been a little weird and sort of distant. She would leave for hours then come back dirty. When Rachel asked her what was wrong, she quickly dismissed the question. Rachel thought this was maybe Quinn's way for saying she didn't want to be with her or maybe she was being a little over dramatic and Quinn was just working on her glee assignment, which was going to be performed that very day.
Rachel didn't know, but hopefully she'd get her answers from the text she was giving. She would go see what was wrong with Quinn. She wasn't one for skipping class, but she really needed some answers. Besides, she didn't really need to be in study hall. All she had to do it be marked present then she could go and see what Quinn wanted.
Rachel leaves the room with the 'have to use the restroom' excuse. God she felt like such a rebel. She heads straight for the auditorium. When she gets there, she calls out Quinn's name.
"Quinn" she calls out in the semi-dark room.
"Up here, Rach." she hears. She looks up to see Quinn standing on the stage. As Rachel walks a little closer, where Quinn was standing, she saw a large blanket spread out on the stage floor with pillows surrounding it and a picnic basket in the center.
A big sparking smile spreads on Rachel's face.
"What is all of this?" Rachel smiles.
"A picnic" Quinn says stating the obvious.
"I mean what's it for, smartass." Rachel rolls her eyes, but still smiles.
"Whoa, did Rachel Berry just curse." Quinn teases. Rachel rolls her eyes again. Quinn chuckles. "Okay. Let's just say it's a sort of…make up date. Your date with Finn sucked, so I'm here to make it better." Quinn says. Rachel looks shocked. "Sorry I took you out of class. It's just…wanted to show you this at lunch, but then you made with Brittany for best friend time, so I had to come up with something quick. So…yea…" Quinn rambles nervously.
"Quinn…this…I don't know what to say…" Rachel says
"Is it bad?"
"No, no it's not. It's just…no ones ever done this for me. Thank you." Rachel says.
"No problem, just let me blow you away with this awesome make up date." Quinn smiles. "Now first, we'll start this date off with you coming up on this stage. And me being the secret gentleman that I am, I will escort you up here." Quinn smirks, jumping down off the stage taking Rachel's hand and walking her back up the stage. They take a seat on the blanket.
"Now, for the food…sorry it's nothing special." Quinn said shyly.
"I'm sure whatever it is, it's good." Rachel smiles softly.
"Yea, well we have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, some fruit and for drink…" Quinn pulls out two Kool Aid juicies. Rachel laughs. "Now, shall we start our date." Quinn says. Rachel nods.
The two talk as they eat the peanut butter sandwiches. They talked about Lucas, of course, glee, their friends and they even talked a little about basketball. Once they were finished, neither were ready to go yet. Quinn was laying across the blanket on a pillow while Rachel was sitting beside her.
"This was really great Quinn. Thank you so much. This is the best…well first…make up date I've had." Rachel said.
"Well I'm happy to be your first." Quinn said, then realized the way of her words and blushes. Thankfully Rachel didn't get it and she just chuckles. "And…we're not finished yet." Rachel looks a little confused, then Quinn pulls out a container of grapes and smiles. "Care for a little grape toss?" Quinn asks
"Yes! Oh my god, I've always wanted to do this." Rachel beams. "Okay, you first." she picks up a grape and tosses it to Quinn, who catches it in her mouth flawlessly. "You did it!" Rachel cheers.
"Yes!" Quinn fist pumps. "Alright, your turn."
"Okay, my turn." Rachel straightens up and gets ready. Quinn grabs the grapes, but unlike Rachel, Quinn grabs more than one, and tosses them all to her, making her miss every one.
Rachel gasps and Quinn laughs.
"Oh man, you missed all of them. That was so bad." Quinn laughs. Rachel lungs herself at Quinn. Quinn quickly ducks out of the way. Soon they were laughing and chasing each other around the auditorium. Neither notice the tall lumpy figure watching them from the balcony.
Rachel soon has Quinn cornered. Using her basketball skills, Quinn fakes a left then goes right, Rachel falls for it. Before Quinn got far though, she spins around, grabs Rachel around the waist and pulls Rachel to her, spinning to face her. Soon the two girls are face to face. Their faces were so close they could feel each others breath on their faces.
The stranger in the balcony huffs and storms away.
They lean in a little closer to each other, but stop realizing what they were doing. Quinn clears her throat and slowly steps away.
"So…" Quinn says nervously
"Yea, uh…I should probably get going." Rachel says.
"Yea…yea…wait. No!" Quinn says urgently. Rachel turns back to her. "There's one more surprise."
"Quinn, I don't think I can take anymore surprises." Rachel smiles.
"This is a good one. I promise." Quinn said. She guides Rachel back to the stage. "Ready?" Rachel nods. Quinn pulls back to curtains.
"What is it?" Rachel asks confused.
"Well this…is the Titanic. Well half of it. I know how you said you've wanted to act out the scene from Titanic. So with a little help from the A/V club, …you get your chance." Quinn says. Rachel looks at Quinn surprised. She couldn't believe Quinn actually did all of this for her.
Quinn guides Rachel to the make shift boat.
"Alright, Miss Director for the day…have at it." Quinn smiles
Rachel beams and squeals excitedly.
"Okay…okay…first you stand over there. At the end of the ship." Rachel instructs. Quinn does a mock salute then follows directions. "Okay, now turn around and lean against the rail." Quinn grins and does as told. "Okay, now my turn. Now, I'm just coming from a terrible luncheon with my mother and a few women from 1st class. I realized that you were right and that I wasn't the girl they all wanted me to be, so I sought you out and found you here." Quinn grins, but Rachel can't see her. "I call out to you and you turn around…turn around." Rachel instructs.
Quinn chuckles and turns around.
"I try to apologize…" Rachel starts.
"But I tell you not to." Quinn cuts in. Rachel nods. "I take you hand and I pull you to me." Quinn says and does the actions as she speaks it. Rachel nods and lets Quinn pull her up. "I tell you to close your eyes."
"I thought I was suppose to be the director." Rachel smirks.
"Co-directors." Quinn smirks back. Rachel chuckles. "Now, are your eyes closed?" Rachel closes them. "Okay, now, I'm guiding you to the rail…step up." Rachel steps up on the rail. "and keep your eyes closed." Once Rachel is up there, Quinn wraps her hands around Rachel's waist. "Now…do you trust me?" Quinn whispers. Rachel quickly turns to Quinn.
Although the line was apart of the scene, there was something about the way Quinn said it that made Rachel think that there was more to those words than just a reenactment. Rachel looks deep into Quinn's sparkling hazel eyes and answers.
"Yes" she whispers. Quinn smiled. Rachel smiles back still looking into Quinn's eyes.
"No peeking. Close your eyes." Quinn smirks. Rachel rolls her eye with a chuckle, but closes her eyes. "Okay, you can continue." Quinn says pressing herself more into Rachel's back.
Rachel takes a breath before clearing her throat and continuing.
"Uh well, I h-have my eyes closed, and you've helped me on the rail…" Rachel lists off.
"Check" Quinn grins. Rachel chuckles.
"Now you take my arms and lift them…" Quinn soft and slowly runs her hands down Rachel's arms, sending shivers through Rachel's body, and lifts her arms up and out. "…like an eagle."
"Like an angel." Quinn whispers. Rachel licks her lips feeling Quinn's warm breath on her neck.
"Can I have a go at it now?" Quinn asks. Not trusting her voice, Rachel nods. "Okay keep your arms up and your eyes closed." Quinn says. She moves her hands back down to Rachel's waist. What Rachel doesn't know it that Quinn reaches into her pocket, pulling out a tiny remote.
"Thank you A/V club." Quinn whispers. She pushes the tiny button on the remote.
"Quinn…what's that?" Rachel asks when she feels a breeze on her face and heard music playing. It sounded almost like the actual song from the Titanic. The instrumental that is.
"Shh just wait." Quinn places the remote back in her pocket and places her hands back on Rachel's waist. "Now…open your eyes."
Rachel opens her eyes and gasps. In front of her was a projection scene of an ocean and a small fan to give off the wind effect. Quinn seriously went all out.
"Quinn this…I can't believe…you did all of this…"
"Well you can't have this scene without the wind and the ocean skylight, right." Quinn says.
"It's beautiful…I actually feel like…like…like I'm flying." Rachel breathes. Quinn hums agreement. They stay like that for a while. Just imaging they were actually on the boat in that scene.
Quinn stretches her arms out to join Rachel's. She moves her face closer to Rachel's and whispers in her ear.
"Come Josephine,…" Rachel burst out laughing. Quinn was really committed to this scene wasn't she. Quinn also chuckles, but keeps singing. "…my flying machine going up she goes…" she softly run her hands along Rachel's "…up she goes…What next?" Quinn whispers. Afraid that if she speaks any louder it could break the moment. She pushes herself more on to Rachel's back. Rachel could feel Quinn's breast pressing against her back. She had to try to hold in the moan that was about to escape.
"U-uhhh…mmm…oh uhh…" Rachel tries to rethink over the scene, but it was getting kind of hard to think with Quinn pressed up against her like she was and the feeling of her cool minty breath on her neck and face.
"…right…uh…what next's…uh oh right. We slowly bring our arms in…" they bring their arms in. "…then I slowly turn my head towards you." Rachel turns her head.
She and Quinn's lips are inches apart. Quinn looks into Rachel's eyes. She wanted nothing more than to lean forward, closing the gap between her and Rachel's lips, but she knew that she couldn't. Not just yet. She's shown Rachel that she wants there to be something between them, the ball's in Rachel's court now. "Our faces are close…then…" Rachel trails off.
"Then what?" Quinn asks.
Rachel didn't say anything, instead she surges forward capturing Quinn's lips with hers in a surprising kiss.
Quinn was momentarily caught off guard by the kiss, but regain her composer and kissed Rachel back with the same passion.
As they kissed, Quinn wraps her arms around Rachel from behind. Rachel turned more into her, reaches her hands behind Quinn's neck and tangles her hand in Quinn's hair. Quinn reaches up and cups Rachel's face.
They kiss for a while, it never goes further than the passion it was at. There was something about this kiss. It just seemed different from the others. They didn't know what or why, it just was. The bell is what pulled them from their kiss, making them jump apart.
"Wow" Rachel breathes out. "That was…"
"Yea…" Quinn agrees.
"We should probably…"
"Yea…yea…" Quinn said. They both headed off of the prop.
Back on the stage floor the two girl just stand there quietly.
"So…" Quinn drags out.
"We need to talk Quinn. " Rachel says breaking the ice.
"Oh-kay" Quinn says.
"I…don't know what's going on with us or between us, but…there is something." Rachel starts.
"Yea"
"And we should talk about it."
"Right" Quinn says. She looks really nervous and Rachel notices.
"Don't be nervous, Quinn. We just need to talk about what's been going on between us." Rachel says.
"Uh yea…yea…you're right." Quinn says releasing a deep breath. "Tonight…we'll uh…we'll talk to-tonight."
"Yes, tonight." Rachel says.
"Cool…good." the warning bell rings. "Uh you should head back. I'll stay here and clean up." Quinn says.
"Do you need any help?" Rachel asks
"Nah, I got it. You ahead and head to class."
"Okay. Well I'll see you later. And thank you again for all of…this. It really made me feel…special." Rachel says.
"You are special, Rach." Quinn says softly. Rachel blushes and smiles.
"Bye" Rachel says.
"See ya."
Rachel was about to walk off the stage, but turns back around. She walks back over to Quinn, leans forward and places a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth. Very very very close to her lips.
"Even a make up date should end with a kiss." Rachel whispers in her ear. A goofy smile spreads on Quinn's face.
Rachel walks away with her own happy smile. She couldn't believe it. It's finally happened. Well not yet, but they were finally going to talk and maybe even move on to becoming more than just two friends that have a kid together…or to maybe being just more than friends. Rachel felt giddy at the thought of being Quinn Fabray's girlfriend.
Rachel wasn't the only one happy. Still standing on the stage, the goofy smile never left Quinn's face. She couldn't believe she actually might have a shot at being with Rachel.
"YES!" Quinn shouts excited doing a perfect back flip.
After throwing her victory party, Quinn goes on to cleaning up the stage.
End of Chapter 50
Sooo…happy times. :)
