AN: Was honestly expecting to be able to update this sooner than a week later but oh well, here's the next chapter.

As I haven't referenced any episodes recently I thought I'd let you know that we're around the 8th episode still, so Sectionals is coming up and I haven't decided whether Rachel will perform or not as I haven't even mentioned the election.

Also I realised I made a small error in Chapter 12 so I've reuploaded the chapter but it's nothing important, just a word in the wrong place, some of you may have spotted it.

Read and review :)


Chapter 13

The girls went back to normal from then on, well the new normal. They sat together in calculus and glee, talking and giggling throughout both as well as stealing kisses whenever they were alone.

After school on Wednesday they'd finally talked about Quinn's talk with her mother. Quinn had explained to Rachel that Judy hadn't been happy at first but Quinn cried and begged her to understand that she was still the same girl and that Rachel had saved her so many times before, that she needed Rachel and Judy eventually saw that her daughter was right, if she was happy, what else mattered?

The rest of the week flew by and Quinn soon found herself sat in her bedroom, half an hour before Rachel was due to pick her up trying to decide what to wear. The girl was never late so she had to be ready soon. However, she realises that as she didn't know where they were going, how was she supposed to know what to wear? So she texted Rachel.

Q – Hey, what should I wear?

The reply was almost instant.

R – Something comfortable, yet sexy… ;) x

Quinn smirks. "If she wants sexy, she'll get sexy." She mutters to herself before grabbing the perfect outfit from her wardrobe.


Rachel was nervous as she walked up the path towards the front door of the Fabray residence.

She was anxious about seeing Quinn's mother again, they hadn't met since the time she caught Rachel hiding in Quinn's closet.

Taking a deep breath, Rachel knocks on the door. Judy opens it a few moments later.

"Hello Rachel, Quinn will be ready in a few moments, please come in."

"Hi Mrs, um, Judy." Rachel blushes, stepping into the house.

"You look lovely dear."

"Thank you." The brunette smiles shyly, pulling at the hem of her sinfully short shorts.

"I'm so glad you and Quinnie made up, she came home in tears on Monday evening, refusing to talk to me and just locked herself in her room all night. She even begged me to let her stay home from school the next day."

"Mom…" Quinn whines from the top of the stairs.

"Well I'm definitely thankful you made her attend." Rachel teases before losing her breath at the sight of Quinn. Her hair was loose, flowing down to just passed her shoulders, she was wearing a knee length black coat, pulled tightly around her body and Rachel smirks, knowing she was wearing it because her mother would disapprove of her outfit, wishing she herself thought of that.

"Ready to go Rach?" Quinn asks, having reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Um almost." Rachel smiles, turning to Judy. "Would you mind if Quinn stayed at mine tonight? My dads will be home I just don't know how late we are going to be and wouldn't want to wake you."

"That's fine dear." Judy says, returning the girl's smile before turning to her daughter. "My phone will be on silent but text me when you get to the Berry's so I'll see it in the morning and know you're safe, and let me know when to expect you tomorrow, or Sunday." She adds, giggling slightly.

"Will do Mom." The blonde replies, kissing her mother on the cheek before following Rachel out to her car. "You realise I don't have any pyjamas or anything packed?" She asks Rachel once out of earshot from her mother.

"Who said you needed pyjamas." Rachel winks before laughing at Quinn's shocked expression. "Relax I'm sure I have something that will fit you, plus we have a ton of spare toothbrushes, you can keep one in my bathroom."

They climb into the car and Rachel turns on the radio before driving away.

Quinn gets so lost in singing along to the radio that she forgets to pay attention to where they're going until Rachel pulls into a car park and she sees where they are.

"Oh hell no."

"What?" Rachel smiles deviously.

"Rach, you're serious? You brought me to Scandals?!"

"I said I wanted to take you somewhere we'd be accepted, you probably could've guessed." The brunette shrugs. "Come on, it's ladies night."

Rachel pouts, knowing that Quinn will cave any minute.

"Fine, but you owe me."

"Yay." The diva grins. "And don't worry, I'll definitely make it up to you." She winks.

Quinn pales as Rachel climbs out of the car.

Two can play at this game. She thinks, getting out and removing her coat, throwing it onto the backseat of Rachel's car. As she turns back to face the shorter girl, she sees her staring, mouth open.

Quinn smirks. "You said sexy."

Rachel nods, too shocked to respond, she looks Quinn up and down once more. The blonde is wearing a red dress that's even shorter than her shorts and is also low cut, showing the perfect amount of cleavage.

"I also said comfortable." She points out, once she's found her voice again.

"That's what the flats are for." Quinn laughs, pointing at her feet. "Plus I didn't want you to feel even shorter."

"Now that was uncalled for."

"Hmm maybe, but you shouldn't worry, I like short girls, they're sexy."

Quinn starts walking towards the club entrance. "You coming?" She calls over her shoulder to Rachel, who was busy watching Quinn's ass.

The brunette swiftly locks her car and catches up to Quinn at the entrance, she shows the bouncer the fake IDs she acquired and he lets them in.

"Do I want to know where you got those?" Quinn whispers.

"Santana."

As soon as they reach the main room they find it packed with women, it was ladies night after all, however there were still a few guys, scattered around near the walls too scared to approach the dancefloor.

"Come on, I'll buy you a drink." Rachel smiles, leading Quinn to the bar. "I obviously won't be drinking but that doesn't mean you can't."

"Okay, but just one then I'm switching to sodas."

Rachel was aware of all the people staring at them as they made their way through the club.

Maybe ladies night was a bad idea, no one can take their eyes off Quinn, not that I blame them.

Quinn notices Rachel's mood and instantly connects it to the attention she's getting. So after Rachel orders drinks, she takes a seat at the bar and pulls Rachel close, wrapping her arms around the girls waist.

"I'm not interested in anyone but you Rach, let them stare. Plus I'm sure plenty of eyes are on those shorts too." Quinn smirks, running her hands down Rachel's back and onto her butt.

The blonde spreads her legs and pulls Rachel between them.

"Quinn are you sure that's wise with the length of your skirt?"

"No one can see anything because you're standing in the way." Quinn says, tilting her head up slightly. "How does it feel to be taller?"

"I thought you said you liked short girls." Rachel replies, rolling her eyes before looking down and gasping at the view down Quinn's dress from this angle.

Quinn takes one hand off from Rachel's ass and uses it to lift Rachel's chin slightly before leaning forward and capturing the brunette's lips between her own, her hand moving down and joining her other hand once more. Rachel wraps her arms around Quinn's neck and deepens the kiss.

A cough from behind Quinn pulls the girls apart and they look round to see the bartender looking at them, one eyebrow raised. She hands them their drinks.

"Thank you, Jade." Rachel smiles, seeing the name on the girl's name tag, while Quinn buries her head into the singer's chest, embarrassed. "Quinn, your drink is here."

Quinn looks up and sees that Jade has moved down the bar to serve someone else.

"I'm mortified, I can't believe we just made out in public."

"Look around you Quinn, no one cares."

Quinn does look up and around the room, noticing others either dancing, drinking or kissing someone themselves. A smile creeps onto her face.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"It's just, nice. You were right, I needed to be in a place like this, where I would be accepted, welcome even." Quinn explains. "Even though it's not exactly legal." She adds in a whisper.

The girls were still pressed together, Rachel still standing between Quinn's legs. Rachel plants a soft peck onto Quinn's lips before stepping away and pushing Quinn's knees together before sitting on her lap.

"I'm so happy." She comments.

"Me too Rach, me too."


Half an hour, they were still sat at the bar, Quinn was about halfway through her bottle of cider, which Rachel had discovered she liked at her party last year, whilst Rachel was on her second glass of Pepsi Max.

"Dance with me?" Quinn whispers into Rachel's ear.

"I thought you'd never ask."

The brunette jumps off Quinn's lap and allows herself to be lead onto the dancefloor. Quinn positions them so they're face to face, Rachel's body pulled closely to her own and wraps her arms around the girl's waist due to the slow tempo of the current song.

"I've never slow danced with a girl before." Quinn comments. "I like it."

Rachel winks and links her hands behind the blonde's neck, pulling her impossibly closer.

The next song is more upbeat so Rachel spins round and begins grinding against a shocked Quinn, who eventually relaxes and places her hands on the singer's hips.

After a few songs, Rachel excuses herself to go to the bathroom so Quinn makes her way back to the bar.

"I watched your drinks for you." Jade, the bartender smiles as the blonde approaches.

"Thanks." She mumbles, still slightly embarrassed.

"Quinn Fabray…" A voice behind her states. "Never thought I'd see you here."

She spins round on her stool to face the newcomer, already recognising the voice.

"I could say the same to you Karofsky, you know it may be ladies night but something tells me that they aren't the kind of ladies you'd be looking for…"

Karofsky chuckles lightly, sitting next to Quinn. "What if I'm not looking for ladies?"

"Oh…" Is all that Quinn can say, so she downs the rest of her cider to fill the silence.

"Yeah…"

"But Kurt…"

"I bullied Kurt because I was jealous of him being so free, so open about who he was, plus I kinda liked him and it scared me so I pushed him away." Karofsky explains, knowing exactly what Quinn was about to ask. "But it looks like you and I aren't so different."

As Quinn is about to question what he means, she hears another voice behind her.

"Quinn… my feet hurt…"

It then clicks in the blonde's mind that Karofsky was right, she had treated Rachel the same way he had Kurt, maybe not as extreme but still similar, and for the same reasons.

As Rachel approaches the bar she suddenly notices who Quinn is sitting with.

"David? I think you misinterpreted the theme of ladies night." She giggles.

"Wow you two are similar, I'm not here for the ladies okay?"

Rachel frowns, slightly confused until she takes in David's shy expression, and Quinn's stunned one and the ball drops.

"Ohh, wow okay I did not see that one coming. Who knows?" Rachel asks, making herself comfortable on Quinn's lap again, knowing that the boy wouldn't out them as he had just shared his secret with them and presumably didn't want them to share it.

"Kurt, Santana and my parents."

"Santana?" Quinn asks, surprised that the Latina knew and was able to keep it a secret.

"Yeah, that's why we dated, to cover up that we… I mean that I'm gay."

"It's okay David we know about Santana and Britt, in fact they're not really hiding it anymore. Though your relationship with her does make a lot more sense now." Rachel explains, and Quinn nods in agreement. "How did your parents take it?"

"Dad was okay with it, my mom keeps saying she can fix me so that's not fun to deal with. What about you two, when did this happen? Have you come out?"

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that, it must be difficult living there at the moment. Quinn and I aren't even really official yet, just taking it on a test run, but I guess you could say it started about 3 weeks ago, opening night of West Side Story over a game of seven minutes in heaven."

The trio talk for a while before Rachel decides she's tired so the girls say goodbye and make their way home.


They change into their sleepwear separately, with Quinn borrowing some clothes that are slightly too big for the diva.

After texting her mother, Quinn makes it into the bed first and soon after, Rachel is crawling in beside her and curling up into her side.

"Thank you for tonight Rach." Quinn smiles, tilting her head to kiss Rachel on the forehead.

"No problem Quinn, I had fun. Plus it was for me as well, I needed this as much as you did, but I think I can safely say that I do trust you're serious now Quinn, no straight girl could've made it through tonight." Rachel giggles, but she feels Quinn stiffen as she says she can trust her. "What's wrong?"

"I need to tell you something…"


AN2: Sorry about the cliff-hanger but I felt like being mean.

What do you think Quinn is about to reveal?
