(Quinn's point of view)

It was around 7 at night when I showed up at my mom's door.

"Oh Quinnie," she mumbled to herself before embracing me.

"Hi mom."

I had a feeling I would regret this later.

"How was the drive?" She started, putting my bag in front of the guest room before circling back to the kitchen.

I squinted, trying so hard to remember how the drive was but I drew a blank.

"It was good. No traffic."

Mom had her back to me while she tended to the baked chicken in the oven.

"And how is Puck and Beth?"

I opened the fridge searching for something, anything to chew on.

I found fresh green grapes, my favorite.

"They're good. Beth finishes camp today and then she'll go spend two weeks with Shelby before school starts." I said.

"Quinn get me the potato salad from the fridge. Dinner will be ready in 15minutes."

I grabbed the potato salad, when I noticed her tending to the steamed veggies and rice. It was late in the week and my mom was preparing a meal for four, at least.

I zoned out when my mom started to ramble on about being a parent, until the doorbell rang.

I froze.

"Quinn, can you get that?"

To my surprise, a well-dressed man my mom's age stood on the steps.

"Hi, is this the Fabray residence?" He asked.

I was about to correct him when my mom interjected.

"Greg! I'm so glad you made it." She said hugging him.

I couldn't remember the last time my mom talked for so long that she left the front door open.

In fact, I couldn't remember the last time my mom talked to anyone besides David.

She's hosted tea parties here and there in the backyard, but I've never seen my mom invite a man over for dinner unless he was looking to join the family and that's when it hit me.

I was interrupting my mom's date!

Suddenly feeling awkward, I cut them off.

"I'm going to freshen up before dinner. Greg nice meeting you." I said before escaping to the guest room for a shower.

My mom nodded half paying attention when I heard her invite Greg to some wine.

I smiled, leaning against the door with my eyes closed.

I was glad to finally be alone.

I checked my phone and of course I had three missed calls from Puck.

Call me, I just want to know that you're safe his text read.

I sighed before texting I'm safe. At mom's house, talk later XOXO.

I fell on the bed fully dressed with my phone in my hand.

What Santana was right? Was I being selfish for not wanting to move on?

I jumped when I heard their laughter.

I sighed and grabbed my headphones.

When she was just a girl she expected the world

But it flew away from her reach so she ran away in her sleep

I hugged my womb, listening to Coldplay.

Dreamed of para para paradise

Para para paradise

Para para paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

I jolted up off the bed.

Puck didn't know how I felt. I could barely tell what he was going through, but Santana was right. I had to find out.

I quickly picked up the pen and paper, and while I was looking at my wedding ring, I vowed to give him what he gave to me when he first wrote those letters about Beth two and a half years ago.

….

(Puck's point of view)

"Forty-five, Forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight…"

I huffed, dropping the weights.

"Almost man. You've got to focus." Jeff said.

I sat up, taking my gloves off.

"Puck, you have one more set. What's up man, last month you were on fire. What's on your mind?" Jeff squatted next to me.

"I've got a lot going on man, but I don't pay you to listen to my problems." I joked around shoving his shoulder hoping he would drop it.

"I believe that my role as your personal trainer is to help you reach your goals and to get to know you so that I can help you as best I can." He added smiling.

"Maybe over drinks." I said grabbing a towel.

"By drink, you mean water right?"

I snickered.

"Yes, your water is definitely on me. See you next week Jeff."

He shook his head, before waving.

I was headed to the locker room when I saw Quinn's messages to me.

I sighed, closing my eyes when I thought about it.

I grabbed my keys.

…..

It was 11:02PM when I pulled up.

I sighed.

"You've got this Puck" I said to myself in the rearview mirror.

Suddenly, I regretted not showering earlier. I smelled awful.

There was no turning back now.

Nervous, I hopped out the car and grabbed the emergency key and let myself in.

I put my bag down when I heard soft chatter somewhere in the kitchen.

To my surprise, I found my mother-in-law nursing a fine wine with a man sitting across her.

"Puck, I didn't know that you were coming." She said getting up to embrace me.

"I wanted to be close to Quinn." I said taking in her new cut.

"Do you like it? I wanted to start with a cut and then eventually color it." She turned around to model her new hair.

The man sitting beside her chuckled.

"It looks great." I said really surprised that at her age, my mother-in-law was ok with starting over.

I sighed, thinking of Quinn.

"Hi, I'm Greg."

We shook hands.

The table was set for three and her noticing my eyes she invited me to help myself.

"There's plenty of food left. When you're ready Quinn is in the guest room." She added.

Sensing that I was interrupting something, I shared some food, heated it up then I went to go find Quinn with the plate in my hand, praying that she was still flirting with Greg and that I would be excused.

I guess she was praying that I'd do the same because she wished me a good night along with Greg and she never even mentioned anything about me taking a plate out of the kitchen.

I didn't knock, I just opened the door, and to my surprise, Quinn had her back to me as she continued to write.

Feel so close by Calvin Harris was playing, so I figured she didn't hear when I came in, so I set my plate on the closest night stand and I set my bag down.

She finally turned around and instantly, I struggled for air.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with a confused look on her face.

She wore one of my old tees with some shorts that I got her last year when she picked up running.

Those were my favorite shorts on her.

She looked sexy. I had to focus on breathing normally so that I could respond.

"I wanted to see you." I offered studying her face.

She smiled and rocked on the balls of her feet, waiting.

I was done waiting.

I moved closer.

"Puck, before you say anything, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. You're right you and the doctor want to help, and I haven't made it easy for you two to do that." She admitted looking down.

"I forgive you." I said taking her hand in mine.

She leaned in about to kiss me when she whispered in my ear "you stink."

I pulled her into me and spun her around. Her arms found the back of my neck.

She genuinely giggled making my heart melt.

Her legs wrapped around my hips as I picked her up.

"Looks like I need a shower." She agreed making a funny face before kissing me and pushing out of my arms.

I Feel so close to you right now it's a force field

I sang taking my shirt off. She sat on the bed amused as I danced.

I wear my heart upon my sleeve like a big deal

She blew a kiss to me as I winked.

Your love falls down on me surround me like a waterfall

She got off the bed to lock the door. I pressed her up against the door singing in her ear.

And there's no stopping us right now, I feel so close to you right now

Quinn pushed me on the bed, attacking my lips with hers. I felt the heat from her passion, and suddenly, I found myself flipping her over and looking into her eyes.

"You sure?" I asked between kisses.

She grinded her hips into mine and answered back with a breathless 'yes."

I don't remember when we got to the shower or how long we took in the shower, but I remember Quinn losing her voice right before falling asleep in my arms.

…..

I woke up to Quinn tracing my abs.

"Good morning." She whispered kissing the inside of my neck.

I stretched, before rolling on top of her with a devious smile.

Just as she started to moan, we heard a knock at the door.

"Quinnie, I made breakfast for you two. Are you awake?" She asked.

I continued to mess with Quinn, even though she attempted to push me off.

"Ok, I'll wake him up." She struggled to say.

She gripped the sheets in her hands. I smiled, making my way down her body.

Her eyes closed as her mouth opened, gasping for air. I didn't expect what her mom said next.

"Well, if you run out of condoms, I have some extra laying around her somewhere."

Quinn jumped up and grabbed a robe. I laughed stuffing my face in a pillow.

Satisfied with what she heard, she finally went to the kitchen with a half-naked Quinn trailing behind her.

….

(Rachel's point of view)

"Hi, this is Finn. You know what to do."

Beep.

"Hi Finn, it's Rachel. Call me back when you get this message."

I hung up before I said something silly.

For some reason, I always got tongue tied when it came to Finn.

Even though we lived in two different states and we promised to keep in touch, he still sent shivers down my back.

"Hey Rachel. How are you?" Jessie asked.

I bit my lip, trying to keep calm.

"I'm doing great. Just decided to intern on the set of a Broadway play, you know to be more well-rounded." I rambled clearing my throat.

Jessie went from being Vocal Adrenaline's secret weapon to the teacher's assistant in two of my dance classes at NYADA this coming fall.

I don't know if I found myself more impressed or more in love with his performance.

Did I say love? Maybe admire a little. I shook my head, focusing on the dance I had to make for the class in the fall.

…..

I didn't realize it was so late when I left the Starbucks next to school. I had to go over the coordination for the dance for the class to warm up to.

Naturally it had to be perfect. I mean, it had to be better than what Jessie would do. Him and that stupid grin that compliments his eyes.

I stopped, remembering earlier how I lost track of time when he helped me with the dance in the practice room.

"You'd make an amazing dance partner." He whispered in my neck.

It sent shivers down my spine.

"Thanks." I said spinning out of his arms.

I blushed feeling guilty for thinking about Jessie when I felt my phone vibrate.

"Hi Shelby, hi Beth."

"Hi Rachel!" Beth screamed. I joined Shelby and laughed as Beth danced on FaceTime.

"How's summer school? We miss you." I sighed.

"It's summer prep. It's not really school, but I do have to create a warm up dance for partners." I said clearing my throat.

"Yeah? And who's your partner? I bet you wish it was Finn."

"Well, you remember Jessie right? He's my teacher's assistant so for now he's my partner to help me get the dance together." I trailed off.

"Vocal Adrenaline Jessie?"

I nodded.

"He's really good. I hope I get to fly out to see you two perform together." She said.

I nodded and smiled, my face burning from embarrassment.

Jessie was just a friend, just like Finn, or so I thought.

I quickly promised to call again and hung up.

I could've walked but walking meant thinking, something that I didn't want to do, so I popped in earbuds and took a cab home.
