A/N: I got an interesting review on the last chapter that kind of motivated me to get another chapter to you guys. This whole chapter is Faberry with the exception of the beginning because Harmony has made her return and you get to see a little bit of Quinn's past and her somewhat relationship with Quinn. I'll tell you now there's a lot between those two. Anyway I just wanted to respond to that review.
Hmmm (guest): First, thank you for being nice about your review. So to move on when it comes to Quinn being scared by Santana it was kind of to show that she really does have feelings for Rachel because Santana is the best friend and a Marshal which means she could tell Rachel everything about her sleeping around which could end things before they got started. Santana is still respectable and all that she's just really protective when it comes to the people she cares about (I touch on that in this chapter). My Pezberry bias was indeed showing through I'll admit to that it was probably more than I wanted it to. I want to be able to show though that Santana is in love with Rachel and that she and Rachel have a relationship that can be mistaken for an intimate one when they're really just friends... I hope that makes sense. Again thank you for review.

"Miss Fabray, your one o'clock is here." Vicki informed her boss through her speaker.
"Of course she is," Quinn murmured before putting her stuff down. "Send her in Vicki."
Seconds later Harmony was strutting into her semi-lover's office. She was in a simple red dress that still fit her perfectly. "Quinn Fabray you stole one of my clients, and I do not appreciate that."
"Is that right Harmony? Which client is that I took, because I do not recall my firm taking on a new client in the past two months?" Quinn questioned with an arched eyebrow.
"Okay fine," Harmony pulled herself up on to Quinn's desk. "You didn't steal one of my clients, but I thought it'd be a good entrance. Anyway now that we've got our pleasantries out of the way why don't you tell me why I haven't seen you around recently?"
"Busy," Quinn said going back to her paperwork.
"Well are you busy tonight?" Harmony questioned pulling Quinn's paper and pen away from her so that she had the blonde's full attention.
"Yes I am," Quinn said leaning back in her office chair. "Harmony, love, is there a point to this visit or are you simply here I distract me from my work."
Harmony laughed and spun around on Quinn's desk so her whole body was facing the blonde. "Perhaps," Harmony kicked off her heel and rose her foot so that it was rubbing the inside of Quinn's thigh. "I've missed you Quinn." Quinn sucked in a breath when Harmony's foot climbed further up her thigh just barely ghosting her member. "You left before I woke up the last time we were together which was quite a shame because I haven't been satisfied like that since the last time we were together."
Quinn squirmed as she tried to control her growing hard on. She really didn't want to get turned on by Harmony, but it was kind of difficult with the girl being right there in front of her. Willing to let Quinn fuck her anyway the blonde wanted. Not to mentions those legs. Those long pale legs that she had wrapped around her waist on more than one occasion or thrown over her shoulders while pounded into her over and over and over. Thinking about her nights with Harmony didn't really help Quinn's current situation in fact it only served to make her harder, and now Harmony was climbing off the desk and straddling- wait what? Quinn's not sure how she missed Harmony moving to straddle her.
"Harmony what are you doing?" Quinn asked.
"I thought it was kind of obvious Quinn. I know you want me baby. You were just thinking about all the times we've spent together… one of my personal favorites was when we went out to dinner with some of our colleges and I couldn't get enough of you." Harmony whispered the words in Quinn's ear before sucking it into her mouth.
"Oh God!" Quinn's hips bucked and she immediately wrapped her arms around Harmony waist.
"After half an hour you just couldn't take it anymore and you dragged me into the bathroom." Quinn's grip tightened around Harmony. "You pushed me against the wall and attacked me like I was the only girl in the world."
Quinn's eyes fell close as she listened to Harmony's words her hips bucking. The blonde woman was seconds away from taking Harmony there on her desk when a certain smile flashed in her mind followed by the perfect hands that just fit so perfectly with hers and before either girl knew it, "Harmony stop." Quinn said moving the girl from off her and on to her desk.
"What? Quinn?"
"I'm sorry Harm, I just can't. Actually I need you to go." Quinn said handing the girl her shoe.
"You've gotta be kidding me."
"I'm not. Can you go Harmony?"
"Fine." Harmony slipped back on her shoe. "You can't avoid us for long Quinn. You know just as well as I do that this," Harmony motioned to her body. "Is everything you need. Have a good day Fabray." And with that Harmony made her exit from the blonde's office.
"Hello?" Rachel answered her phone while she made her way through the streets of New York.
"Hello beautiful," Quinn answered a smile covering her face.
"Hi Quinn," Rachel blushed. "What do I owe this pleasure?"
"Believe when I say the pleasure I mine Rachel Berry, and I was wandering if you've had lunch today already, or if maybe you were hungry in general."
"I'm actually on my way to lunch now. Why do you ask?"
"I was wandering if I could join you."
"I was actually just going to pick something up right quick then head home but if you have time I'd love to go to lunch with you."
"Perfect." Quinn set her things down and went to shove her phone in her pocket. "How far are you from home?" Quinn asked making her way out of her office, signaling to Vicki that she was leaving for a few hours.
"A few blocks."
"Well then why don't I meet you there and then we'll go grab some grub?"
"Sounds great. I'll see you soon Quinn."
"Alright, by Rachel."
"Bye Quinn."
Twenty minutes later Quinn was knocking on the familiar apartment door with a shy smile plastered on her face. When Rachel opened the door she couldn't help but return the smile. "Hello Quinn. I was just finishing getting ready, you're more than welcome to come in."
"Thank you Rachel," Quinn followed the short brunette inside. "Is Santana here?"
"No, I actually don't know where she or Brittany are. I imagine at the dance studio or San may be studying. Feel free to make yourself at home I'll just be a minute." Quinn nodded and Rachel made her way back to her room to finish her makeup and to change into grey v-neck. She emerged from her bedroom five minutes later and ready to go. "All set."
"Fantastic," Quinn held out her hand for Rachel to take. Rachel smiled and took the hand offered to her. Lacing her fingers with Quinn's before pulling her out of the apartment. "You look beautiful by the way." Rachel giggled and buried her face in Quinn's shoulder.
"I'm only in a t-shirt and jeans."
"True. But I've never seen someone make a t-shirt and jeans look so good."
"My, my, my Quinn Fabray, you are quite the charmer." Rachel teased as they made their way down the street.
"What can I say? You bring that side of me out Rachel Berry." Quinn admitted with smile.
Rachel looked up at Quinn with a certain look then quickly leaned up to kiss her cheek, making the blonde blush the second her lips made contact with her skin. "So where are we heading?"
"I was thinking Tai. There's this place not too from here that I thought you might like."
"Sounds perfect."
"I'm glad you think so." Not too long later Quinn was leading Rachel into a small Tai restaurant. "This place is great. They have some of the best tea I've ever tasted, and I've tasted a lot of tea."
"You're a tea drinker?"
"Yep. Tea is my best friend. I drink more tea than coffee actually."
"Miss Fabray, what a pleasure it is to see you. Two?" A small Asian woman with a slight accident greeted the blonde.
"Yes," Quinn nodded, and allowed the woman to lead her to a table. Quinn pulled out Rachel's chair for her causing the girl to blush a little.
"Drinks?" The woman asked once the two were seated.
"I'll have water." Rachel requested.
"The same for myself" Quinn responded. The woman nodded and went off to collect the drinks. "So what about you Rachel, tea or coffee?"
"Coffee. Coffee all the way. If I don't have my morning coffee then I can be a major pain. Santana will testify." Rachel answered
Quinn laughed at Rachel's admittance. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind."
"Good because it will score major points in my book-"
"Well if it isn't Quinn Fabray," a woman interrupted.
Quinn's eyes nearly bugged out of her head when she heard the voice. She mumbled something under her breath before facing the woman. "Hi Jules."
"Hi Quinn, how are you?" the greeting was sarcastic and Quinn was well aware of it.
"I'm well thank you. Interesting seeing you here Julie."
"Is it really Quinn? I mean as you said, they have the best tea here."
Rachel wasn't sure what to do so she just sat there staring at the table nervously. She had a feeling this woman and Quinn had some type of history.
"So I assume she's the latest huh?" the light skinned brunette motioned to Rachel. "Was Harmony unavailable?"
"Julie don't." Quinn warned.
"It was a simple question Quinn. I mean Harmony always seemed to have some typed of hold on you. I figured you'd still be with her; especially since I walked in on you fucking her on your conference table…when we had a date." Julie threw out that last part as if she had almost forgotten.
"Yeah, I think I'm just gonna go." Rachel spoke quietly before standing up and hurrying out of the restaurant.
"Damn it! Really Julie!? Did you have to do that!?" Quinn semi yelled when she stood from her seat. "You and I weren't even exclusives."
"But we had been dating for the past two months Quinn, and we saw each other almost every day. I figured that was an unspoken agreement that we were exclusive."
"Well don't just assume things then. Now if you'll excuse me." Quinn went to run after Rachel, just barely hearing Julie yell something about Rachel thanking her. "Rachel wait!" Quinn pushed through the crowd of people going every which way trying to catch up to the small brunette. "Rachel, please." Quinn caught Rachel by the arms gently to stop her from getting into a cab.
"Let go of me Quinn."
"Just give me a chance to explain, please."
"What is there to explain? Apparently you're a cheater, and I'm sorry, but I can't be with a cheater again. I should have known you were too good to be true." Rachel mumbled the last part but Quinn still heard it.
"Hey do you want a ride or not!" The cabby yelled from out of his window.
"No!" Quinn shouted at the guy and closed Rachel's doors allowing him to leave. "Rachel please just listen. Julie and I had been dating a couple of months. We were not exclusive. Was sleeping with my ex when we had a date a bad idea? Yes. But I wasn't cheating. I'm not a cheater I promise you that."
"A couple of months Quinn?" Rachel's voice had softened a bit. She wasn't so much mad as just frustrated. "So you're not a cheater but rather a commitment-phob."
"You can't get mad at me about this. I did nothing wrong."
"I'm not mad Quinn; I'm just trying to figure out if all of this is worth it."
"What do you mean?"
"I like you Quinn. I like you a lot, and I'm a commitment kind of girl. When I meet someone that I feel like I can actually have something with I want to commit to them. Not just be some booty call. So what I mean is that I'm not sure if I want to keep seeing you only to realize that I don't mean to you what you mean to me." Rachel explained. "The last thing I want to walk into Quinn, when I decide to surprise you for lunch or we actually have a date, is you screwing some other girl."
"Alright Rachel listen," Quinn took Rachel's hands into her own. "I'm not perfect and yes I do and make stupid mistakes. I'm also not ready to be exclusive right now, but I'm asking you to be patient with me. I think you're amazing and beautiful and not like any other girl I've ever met. Ever since that Thursday night I met you I haven't really seen any other girl the way I see you. I want to try this. I want to try us, just please be patient with me." Quinn had a pleading look in her eyes and Rachel could tell that it wasn't easy for Quinn to say everything she had.
"That was hard for you wasn't it?" Rachel asked after a minute. Quinn nodded. "I don't want whatever it is we have going on to end."
"Neither do I."
"So we'll take it slow?"
Quinn nodded again, "I like you a lot Rache Berry. More than I've like anyone in a long time."
"I like you a lot too Quinn Fabray. More than I've like anyone in a long time." Rachel repeated.
Quinn smiled and dipped down to capture Rachel's lips in smooth promising kiss. The blonde lawyer wasn't quite sure what she was doing or how Rachel Berry had managed to pull her full attention, but she had, and Quinn wasn't too bothered about it.
"She threatened to terminate the law firm?" Quinn nodded. "And to strip you from the bar?" Again Quinn nodded then proceeded to take a swing of her beer which Bonnie quickly followed.
"But that's not even the best part of everything. Today I took Rachel out to lunch and Julie showed up." Quinn informed her friend as they sat on her couch talking about what Bonnie had missed. "She made sure to inform Rachel of our previous dating record; specifically her finding me and Harmony that night we had a date."
"Oooh, she bolted didn't she?"
"Of course. I had to chase after her and explain I wasn't a cheater. She told me she was a commitment kind of girl and that she doesn't want to get into something where I won't return the feelings she has for me." Quinn continued.
Bonnie nodded, "I can't blame her, I mean no girl likes that feeling Quinn, I don't care how many girls you've screwed or what they've told you, but I can tell you right now that each and every one of them has wanted you to love them the way they loved you. You're a heart breaker Quinn Fabray, it's what you do best, and what happened today was Rachel getting a glimpse into your world, of your history and activities…"
Quinn sat silent for a minute taking in everything her friend had just said, "I told her that I liked her, a lot, and I asked her to just be patient with me."
"So you're really doing this huh? Giving yourself a chance to be happy?" Bonnie inquired kind of teasingly.
"Yeah," Quinn smiled. "I guess that's one way to put it."
"Wait so her ex showed up and just flat out told you that she caught Quinn girl screwing one of her exs when they had a date?"
"Pretty much, yeah," Rachel answered Santana while sipping on her glass of wine. "I ran right out after that. I mean what do you do with information like that?"
"Did she chase after you Rachie?" Brittany asked from beside the brunette.
The three friends were currently sitting in the middle of their living room nursing a bottle of wine as they talked about their days.
Rachel nodded, "Yeah. She told me that apparently they hadn't been exclusive even though they had been dating for two months. I told her I couldn't do the whole booty call thing, and that I was the commitment type you know?" Both Brittany and Santana nodded. "So I was ready to just call it quits before this became something else and I had feelings for her that she didn't return, but then she was just… she was honest." A small smile graced Rachel's lips as she remembered the look in Quinn's eyes. "She told me that she wasn't ready to be exclusive, but that she wanted me to be patient because apparently I wasn't like any other girl she's ever met."
"Aww Rachie that's so sweet!" Brittany bounced a little out of excitement.
"Yeah… we agreed to take it slow and just to see where things went." Rachel finished the rest of her wine and set the glass on their coffee table.
"Are you gonna be okay Rach?" Santana asked rubbing the smaller girls back.
"Yeah, it was just an eventful afternoon is all."
"Well why don't you head to bed and Britt and I will clean up out here." Santana offered with a smile.
"Okay," Rachel nodded and stood up from her spot on the floor. She dropped a kiss to each of her friend's heads and proceed to go crawl into bed.
"Are you okay San?" Brittany asked once they were alone.
"Yeah B, I'm fine." Santana stood and gathered their glasses. "I mean there's not much I can do. Rachel likes Quinn, and I was too stupid to go after her when I had the chance, so now all I can do is be there for her whenever she needs me. I guess it's kind of time for me to move on you know?"
Brittany nodded; she could see that Santana had really put some though into this probably longer than she cared to admit. "I'm really proud of you San; you do deserve to be happy just like Rachel does. Plus if you two are meant to be it will happen."
"She really does B, Rachel's been through enough when it comes to dating. Plus I've already threatened Fabray, so I think she's gotten my message loud and clear when it comes to Rachel."
Brittany laughed while she packed up the food. "What'd you do S?"
"I may have threatened to shut down the Fabray firm and have her stripped from the bar if she hurt Rachel," Santana said with a shrug.
"San!" Brittany semi yelled being careful not to wake Rachel.
"What?" Santana shrugged.
"You're supposed to be a U.S Marshal."
"I am one, it's just when it comes to my family my morals tend to go out the window. I'd do it for you too B."
"Aww Santi!" Brittany wrapped her friend in tight hug. "I love you."
"I love you too Britt." Santana smiled while returning the hug.
"But you still have to apologize." The bubbly blonde scolded.
"What? No. I'm not apologizing."
"Yes you are. The next time she comes to pick Rachel up you're apologizing for being mean."
"But Britt," Santana whined.
"No. You know Rachel and I hate it when you're mean."
"Fine, I'll apologize," Santana caved. "Are you sleeping with me or Rachel?"
"You." Brittany bopped Santana's nose before skipping off to the Latina's room to change and get ready for bed. Santana could only shake her head and follow her in side.
The whole Santana moving on thing might seem a little out of the blue, but she's really trying for Rachel, plus it's time for her to have some fun in my opinion. Please review. I love reviews they make me smile.
