Quinn was wearing a light blue summer dress with a white cardigan and white tennis shoes. She was standing in the the door frame smiling at Rachel.
Rachel who was wearing a dongeri vest over a black tank top, black loose jeans and black doc Martin shoes. Was standing there nervously giving Quinn a shy smile while reaching out her arm for Quinn to take.
"You ready?" Rachel asked looking at Quinn.
"You bet" Quinn answered and winked as she took Rachel's arm.
Rachel lead Quinn to the passenger side of the car and opened the car door for Quinn. "Such a gentleman" Quinn joked and smiled at Rachel. Rachel laughed nervously and automatically took her hand behind her neck and rubbed it as she closed the door. She took a deep breath and ran around to the driving seat.
The car drive was silent, Rachel was so nervous she didn't know what to say. She was scared that the date would be terrible, and that Quinn would never talk to her again. She took a quick glance over at Quinn who was smiling and staring out the passenger window humming to her self. Rachel was certain she would never get tired of hearing Quinn humming.
They arrived at Breadsticks and Rachel ran around the front of the car to open the car door for Quinn. Quinn laughed at the sight and couldn't help but notice the butterflies in her stomach. Rachel lead them in, and they found a table somewhat in the back so they could have some privacy. Rachel was reading through the menu when she felt a set of eyes looking at her, she looked up and her eyes met Quinns. Rachel smiled shyly.
"What?" she askes softly, looking at Quinns smiling face.
"Nothing" Quinn answered back still smiling. "just thought you should know that this date is already going very well, and we haven't even ordered yet." Quinn leans over the table to take one of Rachel's hands. "so, you can relax and enjoy it as much as I am" she squeezes the hand before she lets it go and starts to look through the menu.
Rachel looked at Quinn for a moment and then let out a relieved breath.
"Oh, thank God! I'm sorry I was so quiet in the car I'm really nervous, I'm not that used to going on dates." Rachel blurted as her hand nervously rubbed her neck.
Quinn looked up from her menu with a raised eyebrow. "Really? How is that possible? You're like the most popular and hot girl at school, I figured you had a few dates in your history"
Rachel blushes and looks a little shy at Quinns statement.
"Well, I don't know, I've never really met someone that I wanted to date, and the whole popular thing only happened last year" Rachel fiddles with the menu and the waiter comes up to their table to take their order.
"What about you? Been on many dates?" Rachel asked trying to get the attention off of her.
"A few, but I never clicked with the ones I dated so I usually ended it after four dates." Quinn said looking curiously at Rachel. "oh" was at Rachel said hoping the she would get more then four dates with Quinn.
"Hey, relax. I told you that this date is already going great you have nothing to worry about I enjoy being in your company, and its really interesting seeing how different you are in private then at school" Quinn smiles at Rachel as she sees Rachel leaning her arms over the table curiously.
"Really how so? And what do you mean I'm different in private than in school?"
"Well, when I see you at school you like the cool chick that everyone likes and looks up to, you're the captain of the football team and glee club. You're all relaxed in class but are still active in taking notes and answering questions." As Quinn explained everything, she has noticed about Rachel she mimics Rachel's position and looks her straight in her eyes.
They sit like that starting in to each other's eyes until the waiter comes with their food, and they both lean back in their chair to make room for their plates. As they are eating Rachel decides to take everything Quinn has said to hart and she straightens up a little.
"You are right, I guess I am a little different now, I guess that's because I'm a little out of my comfort zone, but that will change right now, I like you and you deserve to get to know the real me." Quinn looked up at Rachel a little shocked at her declaration, Rachel just smiles at her, and Quinn can't help to grin back.
"You're allowed to be shy Rachel in fact I think it's cute, but I would also love to get to know the real you." They both smile at each other before continuing to eat their food.
"So, what do you have in mind after dessert?" Quinn asked as the waiter walked from there table after taking their dessert order and empty plates.
"Well, here is a fact you may or may not know about me. I love musicals and I love Disney movies, and I figured since you in glee that you might maybe like musicals to, and I was thinking the we could maybe go and see Mary Poppins. They are running the move this weekend." Rachel answered excitedly hoping Quinn would like the idea.
Quinn couldn't help the smile that stretch over her face at the sight of Rachel, she would never in a million years had guessed that she liked disney movies. Rachel kept suprising her and always in a good way.
That sounds amazing Rachel, I have to admit that I have never seen the Mary Poppins movie before." At that Rachel gasped, throwing her hand over her heart jokingly.
"Well then we must, you can not go another day without watching this amazing movie." Quinn laughs at Rachel as she can clearly see that she is over exaggerating but also that some of it is ment seriously.
"Well then we must" she answeres while laughing.
They continu to talk and joke and laugh through their dessert, there was a little discussion when it came to paying the bill, Rachel won stating that she was the one asking Quinn out and she would not have her date paying for anything that was Rachel's idea. Quinn gave in but said very clearly that she would be the one paying next time and she expected Rachel not to argue with her when that time came.
They left the restaurant and got in the car, Rachel made sure to open the door for Quinn. The car ride from the restaurant to the movies was very different than the car drive from Quinns house. They were talking about school and family, hobbies and interests.
When they arrive at the movies, Rachel parker the car and ran around to open the door for Quinn. Everytime she did that Quinn would get butterflies in her stomach. As they walked side by side to the entrance Rachel took a deep breath as she took Quinns hand, she holde her breath for a few seconds then let go as soon as she felt Quinn closing her hand around hers. Rachel looked down at their entwined hands then up at a smiling Quinn and couldn't help but grin back at her.
They got their tickets and sat all the way back in the middle because according to Rachel that was the best spot. They kept holding hands through the movie and Quinn couldn't help but fall in love with the movie, she had a sneaking suspicion that it was mostly because of Rachel silently singing along with every song.
When the movie was over, they drove back to Quinns hous and they stood in front of the door looking into each other's eyes.
"I had a lovely time Rachel" Quinn almost whispers, not wanting to break what ever spell they were under.
"Me too" Rachel whispers back smiling. All while debating if she should kiss Quinn or not. Then she remembered her promise to Quinn, that she would be herself.
She leans in and looks in to Quinns eyes. "is it okay if I kiss you now Quinn?" Quinn just stares back at her a little shocked at the question, she had expected Rachel to just lean in and kiss her. Then she smiles and nods. Their lips meet and Rachel could honestly say that she has never felt such happiness, so light she was positive that if Quinn would let her go, she would just fly away. The kiss was brief but perfect, Rachel leans her forehead on Quinns, and she opens her eyes an stare right in to hazel eyes "wow" was all she could say and Quinn let's out a small chuckle.
The lights above them starts to flicker and Quinn roles her eyes and sight. "that's my mom, letting me know that it's time to go inside"
Rachel laughs and nods taking a step back. "Well I don't want to get on your mother's bad side, I would really like to see you again."
Quinn smiles back at her "I would love that"
Rachel nods and before she turns to get to her car, she takes a step closer to Quinn and gives her a quick kiss, she gets the feeling that she is quickly getting addicted to those lips.
"See you on Monday Quinn" she says as she starts to walk to her car.
Sunday morning Quinn woke up to her phone pinging letting her know that she had gotten a text. Looking at the screen she smiles when she sees who the text is from
Good morning Quinn, I woke up today with a smile on my face and all I could think about was you. Just wanted to wish you a good morning. Can't wait to see you on Monday. -R
Quinn couldn't help the slight squealing noise that came out after she read the text.
Good morning tou you too Rachel. I have to admit that my morning was similar to yours but then I read your text and you made it 10x better. I'm looking forward to Monday. What are you doing today? -Q
Quinn jumps out off the bed and starts to get ready for the day. As she is about to go downstairs to eat breakfast, she sees that Rachel has texted her back. She starts to read it as she walks to the kitchen where she can hear her mother preparing breakfast.
Nothing much, apparently, we're having a "family day" as my parents call it. I'm currently sitting at the kitchen table listening to San rambling about how they are ruining her teenage life or something like that. It's quite dramatic. -R
Quinn laughs as she enters the kitchen and her mother turns around to see her smiling daughter looking at her phone.
"Good morning Quinn. You're up early and smiling, what is all this?" her mother smiles as she waves her spatula in Quinns direction. Quinn rolled her eyes and was about to answer her mother, but her phone alerted her that she had gotten a new text from Rachel.
What about you Quinn, what are your plans for today? -R
Quinn continues to smile as she starts typing ignoring her mother.
Nothing as exciting as I'm sure your day will be. First, I'm going to help my mom with breakfast and then we are going to church. After that no big plans probably watch a movie with mom and then help her with dinner. -Q
Quinn puts her phone in the back pocket of her jeans and starts to set the table. Her mother just looks at her smiling and shakes her head. She's glad that her daughter has settled in so nicely both in and out of school. She flips the last pancake on the plate and sits down across from her daughter who started to make a bacon pile on her plate as soon as she saw her mother sit down.
"So, how was your date?" Judy tried to ask nonchalantly as she poured a cup of coffee. Quinn had come out to her mother as a bisexual a few years ago, and Judy had assured her daughter that she wished her nothing, but happiness be it boy or girl or just herself. As long as Quinn was happy Judy was happy.
"Mom" Quinn blushed. "I saw you to, and you wouldn't tell me anything when you came in last night. She seems like a nice girl." Judy smiles at her blushing daughter, she loved making her daughter awkward, manly because she knew her daughter felt safe and not judge by her and they had a really open relationship, they talked about almost everything and always tried to have a open mind about what they talked about.
"She is. She was so nervous, she really wanted me to have a good time, and she opened all the doors for me. And at the end of the night she asked my permission to kiss me" Quinn said fondly.
"Wow, sounds like a keeper to me." Judy smiles at her daughter "But maybe you could tell her that its rude for her to distract my daughter while we are having a Sunday breakfast." She says half joking half serious as Quinns phone pinged again. Quinn smiles back at her mother before looking down at the new text. She writes a quick answer and then puts the phone away for the rest of the day.
