Quinn is really singing this song at prom so if you want the experience get the song. Enjoy!
Come see about me - glee version. (Unholy trinity song)
Stressed? Me? Of course not. My secret love life is in shambles because prom is rearing it's ugly head in just a few weeks. My mother is nonstop about prom queen. Finals and graduation is the icing on my not so stressful life. Yeah, stress is nothing it's more like a melt down being suppressed by overachieving qualities due to being a Fabray.
She lets out a frustrated breath then she hears her phone ring and looks at the name flashing in her screen. Superstar.
"I can't talk to you right now Rach." She takes her phone and hides it under her pillow. She feels the vibration and tries to suffocate her phone to stop.
She's been sitting in her room trying to focus on school work and avoiding the real world which is on the other side of her door.
What am I going to do about prom? My mom's gonna freak if she finds out I don't have a date. Knowing her she's going to want to take pictures and shop for every little thing. Prom is so important her I don't even have the courage to tell her I'm not running for prom queen. She's been constantly asking what I've been doing to promote and it's been none stop lectures about how it's a tradition in our family. Really? Winning a plastic tiara and displaying it in a shrine inside her closet makes it a tradition. I even got an email from Fran the other day saying Prom Queen is really important to mom so just try and win it for her.
What the hell am I suppose to do with that?
She slams her face in her pillow trying to escape the pressures that's been put on her shoulders just because she's a freaking Fabray. She rolls over on her back starring at the ceiling.
I need to come up with something fast prom is in three weeks. Her eyes bulge realizing how little her time frame is to pull off something amazing for Rachel.
"Three weeks!" She grabs her pillow from underneath her head and slams it over her face. She screams into it hoping it would help relieve some of the pressure.
She takes the pillow off her face and feels her cell phone underneath her head. She takes her phone and sees one voicemail left by Rachel. She presses play and listens closely.
"Hey, I miss your voice. Call me back."
Rachel's voice always soothed her and that's one of the many reasons why she is completely infatuated with her tiny diva.
First things first I'm going to need some help pulling whatever it is I'm planning.
She takes a huge breath in and realizes what she needed to do to make Rachel's prom memorable.
"I'm really doing this." She closes her eyes fearful of what she has to do.
They were working on their homework in Rachel's living room and Quinn has been acting strange ever since they left school.
Should I just ask her? I'm sure she'll be fine with the idea.
Rachel places her hand on top of Quinn's and she looks up to meet her eyes. "Are you all right Quinn? You seem distracted." She was getting a little annoyed by Quinn's excessive pen tapping.
"It's nothing." She says then turns away from her.
Rachel remains to have this unsettling feeling just looking at her. "It seems like there's something troubling you. What's going on?"
Quinn opens her mouth but she still wasn't sure if she could even ask her. "I was just wondering something." She pauses, Just ask her. "I've been thinking a lot about how much I care about you and how much I hate the fact that this is the only place we can be ourselves."
Rachel smiles at her listening at what she's saying.
"Since Kurt, Blaine, Santana and Britney knows about us. And the entire glee club was supportive of their relationship I don't see why they won't accept ours. So I was wondering if you we're open to the idea of announcing to the glee club our relationship."
Rachel beamed that beautiful smile and lurched her body at Quinn. Completely wrapping her entire body around her blonde. "I would absolutely love that Quinn. But are you one hundred percent sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure." She smiles, a little wary of what she just agreed too. She leans forward and finds Rachel's soft lips against hers.
I'm really doing this. She keeps trying to convince herself that this is a good idea.
She swallows the uncertainty and seeing Rachel in complete array of emotions made all the doubts about committing to this idea a lot easier to accept.
"Have you guys seen Quinn? I've been looking for her all day." Rachel storms in the choir room panic written all over her face.
"No, we actually haven't seen her all day." Mercedes answers but continues her conversation with Sam.
"Artie have you seen her?"
"Nope, sorry Rachel." He looks away from her and wheels himself to the other side where Puck was sitting.
Rachel walks over to Santana and Britney. They should know where she is. "Santana have you seen her? We rode together today so I know she's here but after first period she just disappeared."
"Sorry, I haven't seen her all day. I don't even think I saw her in my third period class either."
Rachel pulls out her cell phone frustrated that she can't find her girlfriend. She dials her number and after a few rings it goes to voicemail.
Then she hears the piano playing and she hears Quinn's voice but she's no where to be found.
Oooh ohh I've been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
Tina and Mercedes stand up from their seats and dances towards Rachel and guides her to sit on the stool in the middle of the class facing everyone.
Everyone was dancing along in their seats when Quinn walks out with Rachel's favorite flowers in hand.
It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on girl, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby
She walks towards Rachel and hands her the flowers and gives her kiss in front of everyone. The look on Rachel's face was priceless. She was shocked and completely taken by surprise. She couldn't believe this was Quinn's romantic way of coming out to our friends.
I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you, have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Santana and Britney then joins Quinn on the number and she couldn't take her eyes off her.
Keep on crying baby for you
I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby
Sometime's up
Sometime's down
My life's so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep
Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on girl, see about me (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
You know I'm so lonely (Come see about me)
I love you only (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
Everyone behind Quinn held a sign that worded out WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH ME?
"Yes!" Rachel leaps out of her seat and runs towards Quinn with open arms. Everyone cheers and claps their hands for the couple. They kiss in front of everyone knowing this was okay to do.
Finn who hasn't participated at all was completely shocked at what he was seeing. He storms out without a word having seen enough.
Rachel stares into Quinn's eyes, "I thought we were going to tell them together?"
"Sorry, I thought this was the best way to ask you to prom so after I asked you I went to everyone's house the next day and told them." They face their peers and Quinn included them in their conversation. "I was surprised to hear that most of them knew that there was something going on between us."
"Really?" Rachel says surprised looking at all the nodding heads in front of her.
"We all pretty much knew after Pucks party. Then seeing how the two of you we're after, well it wasn't hard to figure out." Mercedes explains. "We're happy for you girls! We're all just curious how? I mean you guys hated each other and now look at you."
Mr. Shue walks in when Rachel was about to answer her question.
"Sorry I'm late you guys. What did I miss?" He turns his direction to Quinn and Rachel and he was completely stunned. "What's going on?"
"Quinn just asked Rachel to prom." Tina blurts out.
Quinn and Rachel was still holding each other by the waist and smiled at Mr. Shue.
"That's fantastic. I still feel like I'm missing something." He looks confused at what he was seeing.
"Rachel and I are dating Mr. Shuester. We both decided to come out to the glee club because we felt like this is our family and we shouldn't have to hide who we are. We knew everyone would support us just like Kurt, Blaine, Britney and Santana." Quinn explains to him.
"That's great to hear. I'm very happy for you girls."
"Thanks Mr. Shue." Rachel looks at Quinn smiling beautifully at her. She leans for a hug and whispers in her ear, "I love you so much Quinn."
Quinn smiles and nuzzles Rachel's neck. "I love you too."
"Finn wait." Rachel pleads. It's been three days since they came out to the glee club and Finn still hasn't said a word to her. She had to run just to get in front of him. "Finn please."
He stops but doesn't look at Rachel. This whole thing has gotten him really messed up. He still has really strong feelings for Rachel and all of a sudden she's bisexual with his ex girlfriend.
"Finn." She reaches for his hand but he pulls it away.
Rachel can see how torn he is by all this but what was she suppose to do? She already had that talk with Quinn about not informing Finn about her plan and how inconsiderate of her to put him through that. Quinn even tried apologizing but he really wouldn't budge.
"I'm sorry that you had to find out the way that you did. But Finn you have to understand that I still care about you. This is our senior year and I can't have the most influential person in my life upset because I fell in love with someone else. Please Finn, you have to talk to me." Her tears were beginning to pool in her eyes so she took a deep breath and looked away from him.
"You really think it's that easy to forgive you? Rachel, Quinn is just playing you. She doesn't know anything about loving someone."
"No, your wrong Finn."
"Do you even know what you want Rachel? Your going to New York and I know for a fact that Quinn's going to California. How do you expect to have a relationship when your thousands of miles apart?"
"We'll make it work, I love her Finn. That's not going to change anything."
"She's not good for you Rachel. Why can't you see that?"
"It's because of Quinn that you can't forgive me? Because Finn I care about you but there's nothing you can say that will change how I feel about her."
"Then there's nothing left to say!" he walks around her and doesn't look back. He hates Quinn but his heart was shattered by Rachel and he doesn't know where to go from here. He keeps walking and turns the corner to the parking lot. Then he sees Quinn standing in front of him.
"Can we talk." Her tone was forceful like always.
"No." Finn walks around her and continues his way towards his car.
Quinn rolls her eyes and walks along side him. She needed to fix this for Rachel even though she couldn't stand him.
"Listen Finn, I know you don't trust me and you think that I'll eventually hurt Rachel but I'm not that heartless girl you use to go out with. I've changed, I've become a better person because of Rachel. I know you and I has never seen eye to eye." she takes an extra step and was face to face with him. "I love her Finn. The only reason why I'm even talking to you is for that sole reason. She misses you. Look I'm trying to do something special for her at prom and I would really like it if you could be a part of it. You have my number. I think Rachel would appreciate it if you can help me out." She stared at him waiting for a response but nothing.
Finn walks around her and continues walking towards his car. He really has no idea how to handle all this. Quinn has put him through so much in their relationship even after the break up all she cared about was being popular and using whatever means necessary. Rachel on the other hand was someone he really cared about.
Thinking back he couldn't believe how stupid he was for believing that they're really just friends. They both played him and the conversations he had with Rachel was nothing but lies. He shakes his head furious at the thoughts. There's no way he can forgive both of them.
Rachel was laying in bed when her phone rang. The name on her screen was unexpected but she happy seeing it.
"Hey Layla."
"Hey Rachel congratulations!" She says enthusiastically.
"Thanks? But what are you congratulating me for?" She asks confused.
"Jeez can your ego get any larger that I have to describe you your own accomplishments. I guess I should get use to doing that since you'll be moving here in a few months."
She laughs realizing that her question was a little dumb. "Sorry I forget that you stalk my myspace."
Layla laughs even harder, "MySpace? You are seriously outdated Rachel Berry. Didn't you forget that my mother and your father constantly email each other. I live in New York, I have a life. I don't have time to check on my past crush, ballet camp buddy." She always did like putting Rachel on the spot. Too bad she couldn't see her blush pink like she always did.
"Shut up Layla. How are you by the way?" She blushes remembering their past.
"I'm great, school's almost done and I got into the freshmen showcase."
"That's amazing! I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks. I'm a little nervous about it but I can't believe I'm one of the few freshmen's that got invited."
"Wow, you'll be fantastic Lay don't even stress about it. Your an amazing dancer."
"Hey toots!" Quinn walks in Rachel's bedroom and sees her on the phone.
Rachel waves to her and watches her throw her backpack on the floor by her bed and then lays her head on her lap.
"That means a lot coming from you. My mom told me your glee club won nationals too. Nyada better be ready for you."
"Stop I'm so nervous about next year I don't even like thinking about it." Rachel started running her fingers through Quinn's soft hair.
Quinn notices how different Rachel's acting and wonders who it was she's talking too. It's not anybody from glee club so she just waits patiently for her to finish.
Then Rachel realizes that Quinn doesn't know the whole story between her and Layla. Quinn grabs Rachel's hand and started kissing her palm and all around her hand. She sees Rachel smile at her so Rachel gently caresses Quinn's cheeks. Quinn pouts her lips cause Rachel made her stop kissing her hand.
"Yeah, I try to keep telling myself that I belong in New York hoping to push away all the fears. Listen I really hate cutting this short but my..." She hesitates, "Girlfriend is here so can I call you some other time?"
"Sure no problem. It was nice talking to you Rachel. Can't wait to see you here next year."
"Yeah me too. Bye Lay."
"Bye."
Quinn looks at her oddly. "Who was that?"
"That was Layla. She called to congratulate me for getting in Nyada and for winning nationals." Rachel answers wary.
"How do you know her?"
We never talked about Layla after Puck's party.
"We've been going to the same ballet camp for three years. She's been a really great friend."
"Oh, that's nice that she wanted to congratulate you. I'd like to meet her someday since she's been your friend for so long." Quinn smiles at her and grabs her back pack.
"Yeah that would be nice."
Should I have told her? But I don't want Quinn disliking her from one stupid night. She's been my longest friend and I just don't know if I should bring it up. Quinn doesn't even like talking about that night so why should I bring it up?
"Quinn?"
Quinn looks up and notices Rachel's expression. "Yeah?"
She thinks things through and comes up with, "Nothing, I'm so excited for prom. I finally found the perfect dress."
Quinn smiles broadly and couldn't wait for that one special night to come. She's made all the preparations and hopefully it all goes as planned.
"That's great super star. I'm really excited too. I wanted to make sure we're on the same page for prom though. I know that we're going together but since nobody knows we're really together. It's not going to be your typical prom night. I hope your okay with that?"
"I know Quinn, as long as I'm going with you that's all that matters to me."
Quinn crawls behind her and rest her head on her shoulder. "Good, because I love being with you and to spend prom with the only person I want to spend my night with just means it'll be a great night." She kisses her cheek and holds her closer. "I can't wait to see you in your dress."
Rachel blushes, "Are you sure your not trying to say you can't wait to see me off my dress?" She giggles.
"Rachel!" She pokes Rachel's sides making her girlfriend squeal.
"Quinn! You know I hate it when you tickle me."
"What? I wasn't the one talking dirty just now."
"Oh, so are you saying you wouldn't want to see my dress off?" She keeps pushing the subject wanting to make sure that her and Quinn are on the same page for that.
"Of course I would. I would love to do that stuff with you. Do you?" She says shyly and looks down at her hands.
Rachel sits in front of her and lifts up her chin so she can meet those hazel eyes. "I would love to lose my virginity with you Quinn. I love you and I'm not trying to tease you. I just want to make sure you want the same thing."
"Of course I want the same thing but I'm so nervous thinking about it. I don't even know what to do Rach. I don't want your first time to suck because I have no clue what I'm doing." Her cheeks were beginning to turn pink talking about such an intimate subject.
"Do you want to practice?" She teases.
"Okay this conversation is over." She turns away from her embarrassed that she's revealed to much information about her lack of experience.
"I'm sorry Quinn." She runs her fingers up Quinn's shoulder and when she nears her neck she gently straddles her legs on Quinn's waist and sits on her lap. "I'm sorry, look at me." Quinn was still looking away from her. "Baby, please look at me."
Quinn meets her gaze and she wraps her arms around Rachel's waist.
"I'm sorry. I don't have a clue what to do either but I get so turned on when your around me that I don't even care if I'm doing it right. I'm just doing whatever feels good." She smiles devilishly.
"Is that right?" Quinn bites her lower lip trying to control herself.
"Yeah, I mean I think about you at night and well it's amazing Quinn." She bites her lower lip and shuts her eyes for a second. When she opens them she meets Quinn's shocked face. "Why do you look so surprised?"
"I just never thought you do that stuff."
"Jeez Quinn do you still think of me as that girl from freshmen year or something? I know my body, I know what my body needs and wants so I fantasize." She says confidently.
"I'm sorry please continue. What do you fantasize about?" She asks intrigued.
"You mostly. Like what you would do to me or what I would do to you. And believe me Quinn you never disappoint." She leans and gives Quinn a chaste kiss.
Quinn smiles at her, "Lets hope that's true." she gulps not wanting to be as disappointment to Rachel. She thought maybe some getting to know her body isn't such a bad idea.
Quinn walks down to the living room to deliver some news to her parents. So far everyone has been getting along but after she tells them that she's not going to have a date for prom she can already see her mother having a melt down.
"Mom, dad can we talk?" She walks over to the couch and sits next to her mother. Prom is only a couple of days away so she knows Judy wouldn't have enough time to find her a date even if she has to pay someone to go with her.
"Of course Quinn, what's on your mind?" Russell puts his book on his lap giving her his undivided attention.
Judy stops her knitting and slightly turns to face her.
"Well, you both are aware that prom is in a couple of days. Now with school, SAT's, college prep courses and final exams it's been really exhausting the last few weeks. I just wanted to let you both know that I still plan on going to prom but I just don't have a date."
"What?" Judy's exclaims.
"Mom, it's fine a lot of my friends aren't going with dates so it's not a big deal." She explains but she knows she'll need to do a better job convincing her mother.
"How do you expect to win prom queen when you don't have a date Quinn? Can you honestly tell me that no one's asked you to be their date for prom?"
"No mom, no ones asked me. At least no one that dad will approve off."
"What about your last boyfriend? What's his name? Finn? He was a nice boy."
"No." She says rather quickly. The idea alone made her gag she couldn't believe she ever dated him.
"What about that boy Sam? He seemed like a really good fit for you."
"He's going with Mercedes. Mom it's not that big of a deal if I don't have date. I'm just to busy focusing on important things rather than finding a date. Dad, can you please say something?"
Russell looks at the two women sitting in front of him and one or the other someone won't be happy about what he's about to say. "I can understand that your busy darling and you know that prom is very important to your mother." He pauses going back and forth about his decision. "But times are changing. We may not like it but it's happening. If she can't find a date and she's perfectly happy going to prom with her friends then let her."
Judy couldn't believe what her husband just said.
Quinn had the biggest smile on her face after hearing her father. "Really?"
"Whatever makes you happy Quinnie."
Judy just gets up and leaves the living room. Russell and Quinn watches her and couldn't believe how much she's over reacting. That's typical Judy Fabray for yeah.
"Don't worry about your mother I'll have a talk with her. This is your prom and you should enjoy it how you see fit. Your mother is just upset because she sees prom differently that's all. Nothing to worry about she'll get over it in her own time."
He really has changed, "Thanks dad. I really appreciate you supporting me on this." She walks over to him and gives him a hug.
"Any time Quinnie." He really appreciated that hug. They have been getting a long but he can tell that she still has her guard up around him. Which he understands and certain battles of course he'll make decisions Quinn might not be happy about but today be knew he made the right choice.
"With prom a few days away aren't you going to need money for it all? How much will you need? You haven't even gone dress shopping yet. I'm sure your mother would love to do that with you." He suggest.
"Yeah I'd like that but you still have to calm her down a bit before we go shopping."
"I'm sure it won't be that difficult as long as your mother gets to do the prom things with you she'll be more rational."
"I hope so." She smiles at him and heads back to her room. But before she leaves him she says thank you one more time.
When she was walking up to her room she couldn't believe how well everything had turned out. Now all she has to worry about is winning prom queen so her mother will be happy and making sure everything goes according to plan for Rachel's special prom night.
"Is Quinn going to come by here so we can take pictures of you girls?" Leroy wonders sitting idly on Rachel's bed as she gets ready for tonight.
"Yes daddy she'll be here once she's done at her place." She yells from her bathroom.
"That's good because I can't wait to see you girls in your dresses. Did you color coordinate or your just wearing whatever?"
"I think we're wearing whatever looks good."
"Oh, okay then. Now I know Quinn asked me if you could spend the night at Britney's house after prom. I told her that your father and I will think about it and let her know when she gets here."
Rachel walks out of the bathroom with her hair in curls and stands in front of her father. "Please daddy. It's only one night can I please."
"It's up to your father Rachel. I told him that I was fine with the idea."
Rachel walked out of her bedroom and went looking for her dad. She tried their bedroom but he wasn't there. She speedily walked down stairs and found him reading a book in his chair.
"Dad? Can I talk to you for a moment?"
He looks up and sees his daughter towering over him. "Of course sweetheart what's on your mind?"
"I would really love for you to consider letting me stay at Britney's house after prom."
"Now Rachel."
"Before you say another word I need you to understand that I'm aware of your worries. As a parent it must be difficult to watch your daughter grow up and enter the world without holding on to your hand. But dad you raised me in the best of your abilities and I would never do anything to disappoint you. Just for once I would love for you too see me as a young adult whose mature enough to make their own decision."
Hiram exhales realizing that he does need to let his daughter grow up. He's been protecting her all her life and now that she'll be going off to college he knew he wasn't going to be able to protect her from living her life.
"I know sweetheart and I'm so proud of the woman you've become. Protecting you from the world was something I cherished because you know your the most precious gift that's dear to my heart." He pauses looking down at his book knowing the anticipation will drive her crazy. Leroy isn't the only one she got her dramatics from. He smiles and looks up seeing how antsy she's become. "You have my permission. Your absolutely..." Rachel jumps into his lap and envelopes him in her arms.
"Thank you daddy." She smiles and kisses him on his cheek.
"Now go finish getting ready. I'm sure Quinn will be here shortly."
Rachel looks at the clock and she knew she only had an hour left before Quinn arrives. She gets up and hugs her father tightly, "I love you dad. Thanks again." She gets up and exits the living room. Thoughts of being alone with Quinn just made her night even more exciting.
Quinn was finishing up her makeup when she heard a knock on her door. She looks at the the time and knew she didn't have a lot of time to spare.
"Come in!" She doesn't take her eyes off her mirror continuing her makeup.
"Quinn how's it going in here?" Judy steps inside and sees her daughter in front of the mirror.
"I'm almost done mom I just need to put on my dress that's all."
"Okay great because I have a surprise for you. But let me give this to you first." Judy was holding a long suede box in front of her.
"Thanks mom. You didn't have too." She takes it from her mom's hand and opens it. "It's beautiful."
"It was your grandmothers. She wore it at her prom." Judy takes the white gold necklace with a heart as the center piece and in cased in the heart was a diamond.
Judy takes the necklace off its case and gently places it around her daughters neck. "You look stunning my dear." She puts both her hands on Quinn's shoulder and looks at her through the mirror.
"Thanks mom."
"Okay hurry up and finish so I can take some photos."
"Sure mom I'll be down in ten minutes."
Judy looks at her daughter one last time before she exits her room and couldn't help but admire what a beautiful young lady she's become.
Quinn puts on her dress and looks at herself in the mirror making sure everything looks great for Rachel. She grabs her phone and dials Rachel's number. It rings four times until she hears Rachel scrambling to answer.
"Shoot! Hello? Quinn? Are you there?"
"Rach? I'm here." She replies.
"Hi Q! I dropped my phone I thought it hung up on you. Are you here?" Rachel asks excitedly.
"No, not yet. I just wanted to hear your voice to calm my nerves a little."
"Calm your nerves? It's just prom Quinn."
"I know but it's our prom."
They smile at each other and Rachel suddenly understood what Quinn was feeling.
"Then get over here all ready so I can kiss those nerves away." She says playfully.
"Your kisses will definitely cure my nerves. Okay, I'm leaving my house right now. I'll see you in a bit superstar?"
"I'll be waiting." She smiles at herself for falling for such an amazing girl.
They hang up the phone and Quinn checks herself in the mirror one last time. Her heart was racing and she couldn't wait for tonight to begin.
"Make this night something she'll remember for the rest of her life." She walks out of her bedroom and down the stairs. She hears her parents talking in the living room but there was third voice she didn't recognize.
When she makes her entrance in the living room she sees her father and mother sitting on their chair and then she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Quinn! You look absolutely..."
"Who is he?" She ignores the compliment from the young man standing in front of her parents. She looks directly at her mother knowing this has Judy written all over it.
"Don't be so rude Quinn. This is Thomas he'll be your date this evening." Judy answers while looking at the handsome date she had set up for her daughter.
"My what?!" She bellows out.
Judy couldn't believe how badly her daughter was behaving especially in front of a guest. "Thomas could you excuse us for a minute. I think my daughter forgot what that we are well mannered in this household." Judy stares Quinn down and walks out of the living room and into the kitchen. Quinn follows behind while Russell smiles apologetically at Thomas and exits the living room to join the argument in the kitchen.
"I can't believe you! You can't force me to go with some random guy to my prom." Quinn lets out frustrated that this is really happening.
"He's not some random guy Quinn. He's Mrs. Keller son one of my dear friends from way back. He's a nice boy and you should be happy that he was available to attend as your date." She explains.
"You are unbelievable. Here I thought that you would actually support what I wanted. I should've known that you would go behind my back and force some guy on me."
"I just didn't understand why you wouldn't have a date when your likely to win prom queen. No one goes to their prom by themselves Quinn. Except for the ones who really can't find a date and it's just hard for me to believe that no one wanted to go with you." She looks at Russell waiting for him to say something. "Russell don't you agree with me?"
Quinn looks over to her dad and hoped that he wouldn't side with her.
"Quinn I know your mother is wrong for going behind your back but her intentions were good." He says placing his hand on her shoulder.
"No they're not!" She screams and brushed his hand off her shoulder.
"Quinn that's enough. Of course my intentions were good. I don't want to hear another word about this. Thomas drove forty-five minutes just to do you a sweet gesture and here you are complaining and being disrespectful. You are going with Thomas and that's final." Judy stares her down.
Quinn looks into her eyes and couldn't believe what a completely different woman her mother has become. Ever since Russell came back Judy's been the unsupportive mother she knew and hated.
Why is she suddenly switching roles and not supporting my relationship with Rachel?
"Dad, please reason with her." Quinn pleads.
This was the first time Quinn has called her dad ever since he moved back. It could be one of her tricks to get her way but the sound of it was something he truly missed.
"Quinn I know this is a surprise but it would rude if he drove all the way from Sidney and we just send him right back. His parents are a close friend to the family we wouldn't want upset them. I'll have a word with your mother but for now just go with him okay?" Russell tries to find a middle ground but there was no other choice.
Quinn looks at Russell completely distraught. This was not suppose to happen. Especially not on her last prom with Rachel.
Looking into Quinn's eyes he knew he'll back to square one. But he also feels sorry for the guy in their living room. When he was talking to him he sounded like he was really excited to go with his daughter.
Quinn just kept all her emotions inside not wanting to continue this any further. She's all ready running late to pick up Rachel so she turns around and walks away from her parents. There won't be any pictures of prom knowing her mother is pulling this sort of crap on her.
She grabbed what she needed and when she passed by the living room Thomas quickly gets up still holding on to the corsage.
"Let's go." She orders and walks out the from door before force can say another word.
Thomas follows her out and sees her going in her car. Quinn sits in the driver seat upset that this is how her night was starting. Thomas slowly gets inside her car and sits in the passenger seat.
"This is for you." He says shyly seeing how upset she is.
She pulls away from her driveway not acknowledging the beautiful corsage that he was holding up for her.
"Look your my cousin okay. If anyone asks my inconceivable mother decided to pull this crap last minute and forced you to go with me. I didn't want this I hope you know that." She kept her eyes on the road gripping the steering wheel a little too tight that her knuckles were turning purple.
"Yeah I figured that seeing how shocked you looked when you entered the living room."
"Why did you even agree to this?" She turns the corner and knew that she was only a few houses away from Rachel's.
"Honestly?" Thomas wonders if she really cares about his answer.
Quinn parks the car and looks at the time. "Shit! Just stay here." She pops open her trunk and grabs the corsage she bought Rachel. Luckily she planned ahead and kept the corsage in a cooler. Running out from her house and leaving this would've made her night even more disasterous. She slams her trunk and dashes to Rachel's front door.
Thomas watched her run towards the house like her life depended on it. He looked at the time and from the looks of it they weren't running that late.
When Quinn made it to the front door she rang the doorbell multiple times until Hiram was standing before her.
"Is she mad?" She walks in not even waiting for an answer.
"No, she was just worried." He follows her in the living room. He was really glad to see her Rachel was losing her mind from worrying so much.
"Rachel! I'm so sorry I'm late." Quinn runs towards her and wraps her arms tightly around her brunette.
Rachel holding onto her girlfriend felt a rush of relief now that Quinn is finally in her arms safe and sound. "It's okay, I'm just happy your here."
"All right my darlings let's take some pictures before you leave for dinner." Leroy request.
They release each other from their embrace and they finally get a good look at one another.
"You look beautiful."
"You look stunning."
They say to each other at the same time. Rachel gently moves a strand of loose hair behind Quinn's ear and stares into her eyes lovingly. She notices Quinn's head lean into her touch. I'm going to my senior prom with Quinn Fabray. I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
Quinn moves closer to Rachel hoping to engulf all her senses. She shuts her eyes and was cheek to cheek with her girlfriend. She smells amazing. Rachel couldn't help but enjoy how badly she's affecting her blonde.
"Come back to me Quinn." she whispers.
Quinn slowly opens her eyes and leans in on Rachel's cheek and give her soft kiss. Rachel couldn't stop smiling even if she wanted to.
Leroy was taking photographs when the girls we're having their moment. When he looked at the screen to see if the photo turned out okay his heart melted. He shows the photo to his husband and they both smile at each other.
"They're breath taking." Hiram says to his husband. Leroy nods his head agreeing at how adorable his girls are with each other.
"Okay girls lets find you a more suitable back drop." Leroy scans the living room, "Lets take some pictures over by the fireplace before you head out." Leroy orders b. them.
Quinn holds Rachel's hand and walk over to the fireplace. They pose and smile for the camera and then Quinn remembered something.
"Hold on I can't believe I forgot to give this to you." Quinn searches where she placed her things and when she found it she opened the clear box and pulled out Rachel's corsage.
Leroy had secretly told her what color Rachel's dress would be so she could match them perfectly. She walked over to her and held in front of Rachel. Quinn got her a peach colored corsage with gardenia's all around.
"It's beautiful Quinn." Rachel holds up her hand while Quinn slips it in her wrist. She will never get tired of touching Rachel's soft skin. She ran her fingertips around Rachel's wrist and sfell sells Rachel's fingers graze her hand. She loved these small intimate moments with her girlfriend. Their eyes meet and they both knew they were thinking the same thing.
"I love it. Thank you." She kisses her on the lips and smiles. "You didn't think I'd forget about yours did you?"
Hiram walks beside them and hands Rachel a small clear box just like the one Quinn had. Rachel takes out a corsage with very little purple decorations around three fully bloomed white roses.
"How did you know what color my dress was gonna be?"
Rachel was slipping the corsage in her wrist gently running her fingertips around Quinn's hand.
"Santana helped me." She looks up and sees Quinn's eyes on her. Quinn's smile was absolutely beautiful.
"You girls are just so adorable. It's getting late though and your friends are expecting you so get a move on." Leroy tells them gleaming with joy.
"You girls have fun and Quinn please take care of Rachel." Hiram looks straight into his daughters eyes and says, "Call me when you get to Britney's house okay?"
"Yes dad." Rachel says a little too entusicatic.
Leroy and Hiram walks towards them and kisses Rachel on her forehead and gives Quinn a tight hug. "Now have fun you two." Leroy tells them.
Quinn had forgotten about Britney's sleep over. Now that she knows Rachel's allowed to spend the night she was excited to hear it and couldn't wait for tonight to get started.
Rachel grabs her over night bag which Quinn completely forgot for herself. I can just borrow something from Britney. It's a good thing I'm wearing something sexy underneath this dress or else tonight might not even happen. She smirks giving away what she was thinking because next thing she knows Rachel was starring at her with wide eyes and pulling at her arm.
"Quinn?" Rachel calls for her trying to bring her back to reality.
"Yeah, sorry lets go." Quinn answers panicked.
Hiram and Leroy walk them to the front door and Quinn accidentally squeezes Rachel's hand out of fear remembering she has an unwanted third wheel sitting in her passenger seat.
"Are you all right Quinn?" Rachel asks feeling the tight grip on her hand.
"Of course, just excited for tonight. Thank you Hiram, Leroy. You two have a good night."
"Have fun girls." Hiram tells them.
"Why'd you park over there?" Rachel wonders.
Quinn didn't realized that she parked her car at her usual hiding spot.
Leroy and Hiram also looked at Quinn strangely.
"Old habit I guess." She says to them. They start walking towards her car and when there was enough distance Quinn turns around to see if Rachel's parents were still by the front door. When she saw that it was okay to talk to her she stopped Rachel from her tracks and stood right in front of her. "I have to tell you something."
"I knew you acting rather strangely. What's really going on?"
Quinn lets out a breath and just lays it all out for her. "My sorry of an excuse mother thought it was strange that I didn't have a date for prom. So out of the selfishness of her heart she called a few people and found me a date. He's sitting in my car right now."
Rachel looks over by Quinn's car and she sees a young man sitting on the passenger side. "Seriously? Does she not like me or something? She should've known that you were going with me."
"I know, I argued with her about this whole thing that's why I was late. I'm sorry but he seems nice enough. I'll tell him to stay out of our way okay." She holds Rachel's hand and grips it tightly feeling so guilty that they'll have a third wheel all night.
"Okay, it's fine as long as we're together."
"We will be I promise. It's still our prom." Quinn loves how understanding Rachel can be. She knows this was a lot to ask for but there was no point in arguing a losing battle especially if Russell and Judy are teamed up together. Relieved they start walking towards the car. Quinn opens the passenger side door. "Thomas this is Rachel. Rachel, Thomas."
Thomas unbuckles his seatbelt and gets out of the car. "It's nice to meet you Rachel. You look very beautiful." He extends his hand and Rachel shakes it kindly.
"Thank you. Nice to meet you too Thomas." She smiles at him surprised to hear the compliment.
They all get in the car and at first no one was able to say a word to each other. Rachel always found silence to be excruciatingly annoying decided to start a conversation. "So where do you go to school Thomas?" She figures being friendly is better than having an uncomfortable night.
"NYU."
"Wow! That's amazing." Surprised to hear he's a college student she continues on with the conversation. "I hope you don't mind my asking but shouldn't you be in school? Isn't it mid-terms or finals for you?"
He laughs quietly, "My little sister wasn't feeling well and begged me to visit her. My mom asked me today about going to prom with Quinn and I had nothing else better to do and my mom made it sound like it was super important to her. When I saw the look on Quinn's face I knew I shouldn't have agreed." He explains.
"I swear my mother can be such a pain." Quinn says.
"I see, Well I hope you have fun. We're sorry you had to get dragged into this." Rachel tells him.
"It's no big deal. I actually haven't seen Quinn in a long time so I figured this was a nice way to see her."
Quinn looks at her rear view mirror and she couldn't recognize him at all. "You know me? From where?"
"I live in Sidney Quinn, we went to the same high school for one year until you moved."
She stares at him trying to figure out some sort of facial feature that would make her remember who he is but she was coming up blank.
"I'm sorry but I just can't remember you."
"That's all right I was a grade higher than you and we were never in the same crowd."
Rachel sees the Breadstix sign up ahead and she can feel the excitment building inside her. Sure she wishes that they were alone and held each other on the way to dinner but at least she's here with Quinn.
The parking lot was almost full luckily Quinn found one of the last spot. She parks the car and they quickly get out so they can meet their friends for dinner. Quinn all ready dreading how her night was starting turns around and gives Thomas her don't give me a reason to hate you look and tells him.
"Remember what I told you." Her tone was serious, eyes piercing right through him and he had no idea the Quinn he knew back then was the girl standing before him now. He nods his head at her not saying a word. He watches her picking up her pace just so she can walk along side Rachel. They must be really close. He walks behind them still doubting if he should go through this. Then he remembered why he agreed to do this in the first place. He just needs a moment alone with Quinn so he can explain everything.
When they walked in they couldn't believe how packed it was. They were lucky to even have a table because it looked like everyone from Mckinley was here tonight. Rachel looks around but couldn't find a single person she knew since everyone at McKinley was taller than her. Quinn quickly spots their friends in the back she grabs Rachel's hand and started walking over towards them. Rachel smiles to herself happy that her girlfriend was comfortable holding hands with her. As they were passing through the crowd Quinn suddenly notices every single eyes locked on them. Rachel waves at everyone with the biggest smile on her face then she feels Quinn's haing letting go of hers. Rachel looks around and knew that Quinn was uncomfortable seeing all the unwanted eyes towards them.
"You girls look amazing!" Mercedes was the first to greet them. Sam was standing behind Mercedes looking very debonair in his tuxedo.
"Thank you Mercedes and you look radiant as always." Rachel gives her a quick hug and sees Puck sitting behind them.
Puck stands up and smiles at Rachel. "You look smoking hot Berry." He leans forward to give her a kiss on the cheek but notices Quinn glaring at him.
"Thanks Puck, you look very handsome as well." Rachel closes the gap between them and Puck kissed Rachel on the cheek and smiled devilishly at Quinn. He was really enjoying this new relationship between his baby mama and hot jew. Now that he knows he can never hook up with either of them at least watching Quinn get all jealousy and protective over Rachel is very entertaining.
Rachel slides in the booth and sees that they ordered a few appetizers.
"I ordered you the stuffed mushrooms. I made sure I told them this is Rachel Berry's meal and there shouldn't be any dairy or meat products on it." He tells her.
She smiles and all of a sudden thoughts of high school ending takes over her emotions so she leans on Puck and rest her head on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" He can hear her sniffling.
"I just can't believe high school is almost over. I'm really going to miss everyone."
"I know what you mean." they sit there watching everyone around them full of smiles and enjoying everyone's company. Three years of high school full of so many memories they all have to part with. She couldn't believe how much she's grown and became a part of a very special family that's thought her so many things.
Puck decides to change the subject he leans close to her and whispers in her ear, "Have you talked to Finn?"
Rachel shakes her head and frowns. Ever since they came out to the glee club Finn's been keeping his distance not just her but everyone. With glee club over all they do is hang out maybe Mr. Shuester will assign a small assignment but Finn never shows up in the choir room. Rachel tried countless times to talk to him but he just walks away ignoring everything she had to say.
Finn isn't even talking to Kurt because he found out that Kurt knew from the very beginning about their relationship.
"Excuse me this is a private table." Tina tells Thomas who's been standing in the corner patiently.
"He's with me." Quinn answers aggravated.
Thomas smiles at all the eyes on him.
"He's my cousin, my mom thought it was great idea to bring him because he never went to his prom. And since my mother knew I was dateless she forced me to take him. Thomas meet everybody." She glares at Puck and he gets up from his seat.
"Wow, your mother hasn't changed one bit. Dragging your cousin along screams control freak. Are you sure you want to be in bed with a Fabray Rach. You know Puckerman's are more laid back." He flirts.
Rachel looks at him strangely and a little grossed out. She doesn't see Puck any other way than just a pervy younger brother.
"No thanks." She answers.
Quinn looks over at Thomas who was looking away at the time. Before she takes her seat next to Rachel she smacks Puck in the back of the head and makes eye contact with everyone at the table.
"Awch!" Puck screams out.
"Can we keep that subject between us. Not everyone in this circle knows about that." Quinn says furiously.
She notices Thomas paying attention to their conversation so she slides in the booth right next to Rachel. She grabs Rachel's hand from underneath the table so she can calm down. Rachel smiles at her wanting to kiss her right then and there.
"Wow, Judy really is something isn't she." Santana comments.
"Yeah tell me about it." Quinn adds.
Dinner wasn't a complete disaster once the food came out everyone toned down and kept talking about college plans. Quinn and Rachel kept quiet aware that they still haven't talked about their future plans.
Thomas brought the unwanted conversation on the table curious about Quinn's plans for next year. Rachel just smiles at her girlfriend and pushed the thoughts away of being hundreds of miles apart from her girlfriend. She gripped Quinn's hand under the table fearful of the school year ending. Quinn just gave her a gentle smile and thanks to Santana the subject was changed instantaneously.
"I for one cannot wait to get out this closed minded town. San Francisco is calling my name and I can't wait to be surrounded with people who will respect my relationship with Britney." Santana brags with excitement on the tip of her lips.
"So you girls are really moving to california?" Puck asks a little dissappointed.
"Hell yes we are! And when we come back Britney will become a famous choreographer and will become a Hollywood star. I can see it now. Ms. Lopez! Can I please take a picture with you I'm your biggest..."
"Alright San, before your fantasy gets too out of hand we should take care of the tab so we can head out to school." Quinn interrupts her before she gets to caught up in her fantasy world. Quinn hands her fifty to cover her meal and Rachel's.
"It's not a fantasy Q, get that straight. My dreams will come true just like Berry's going to be a huge in New York." She says confidently.
Everyone looks at her surprised that she complimented Rachel in public. Even the booth behind them who had Tina, Mike and the others had their heads turned around to see if they heard her right.
"Thanks Santana, I know you'll be amazing in everything that you do." Rachel says a little shy.
Quinn looks at her completely happy that they're finally getting along. Once the check was settled everyone started heading into their cars.
"We'll see you guys there." Sugar screams. She had Roy, Tina and Mike in her car.
"I can't wait to get my dance on, we'll see you all at McKinley!" Mercedes bellows out full of excitement.
Quinn and Rachel waves goodbye and almost forgot that they had Thomas following behind them. When they got in the car Quinn reached for Rachel's hand and when she heard the door behind them open she quickly grabs the keys and starts the car. Rachel let's out and disappointed breath. She was starting to hate this a little but there was really nothing they can do. She stares at the dark road in front of her and keeps her hands on her lap to keep it from wanting to reach over at her girlfriend.
When they reached the school Quinn parks the car in the entrance and turns around to face Thomas. "We'll meet you inside Thomas. I forgot I had to do something for the glee club."
He looks at her puzzled but does what she says. He gets out of the car even though he had no clue where to go and watches them drive away.
"Quinn? Where are you taking me?"
"It's a surprise." Quinn takes her hand and holds it. "Sorry about earlier, I really wanted to hold your hand but with Thomas being so close to the family I can't really."
"It's okay Quinn." Rachel moves closer and leans her head down on Quinn's shoulder. She felt Quinn's lips on the top of her head and her heart swells at the touch.
"Close your eyes okay." She whispers. Rachel does what she's told and smiles anticipating what Quinn is planning.
Quinn drives on the back of the school and into the field. When she parked the car she had no idea how fast her heart could beat just by thinking about Rachel's reaction to her little surprise.
Quinn plays the cd in her car lowers all the windows and turns up the volume. She walks around the car and opens the door for Rachel.
"Quinn? Can I open my eyes now?" Rachel hears the music and her heart begins to swell. She feels Quinn's hand on her arm so she knew she was helping her out of the car. They take a few more steps and the ground they were stepping on felt strange in the sense that she knew they weren't on solid ground.
"May I have this first dance?" Quinn waits for Rachel's eyes to adjust and extends her hand to her.
When her eyes got use to the light she couldn't believe what Quinn had just done. The entire first base was decorated with lights hovering over them.
"What is all this?" Rachel says baffled by the surprise. She placed her hand on Quinn's and the song A thousand years was playing as they danced underneath the stars.
Quinn held her close and they swayed into the music. "I wanted our first dance to be the same place where everything started for us. I know that my reasons in the past was wrong but you're dancing with a completely different person now." She pulls back and meets Rachel's eyes. "I love you Rachel." Her heart swelled and just looking deep into Rachel's eyes she knew her words were true. The feeling was a frightful one because she's never actually said those words and mean it.
Rachel pulls away and looks back into hazel eyes. "I love you." She can see by Quinn's genuine smile that her words touched her. She leans in and the electricity between them was just indescribable. They kiss passionately losing themselves into their love as they sway to the music.
When the song ended Quinn gives Rachel a peck on the lips, "Lets go."
"What? Just one dance?" Rachel sounded disappointed.
Quinn smiled seeing the look on her girlfriends face. "It's still early we can come back here a little later. Right now lets enjoy prom with our friends." Quinn walks behind the fence and pulls the plug on the lights. When she comes back Rachel wraps her arms tightly around Quinn and kisses her neck. Quinn's adorable giggle was enough to make Rachel skip prom all together and just spend the whole night alone with her girlfriend.
"Rach, quit it." Her voice was playful and she overpowers Rachel's grip and goes behind her tiny brunette and wraps her arms around her. "Let's go Ms. Berry." She rest her head on Rachel's shoulder and smiles.
Rachel smile's back and nods her head. They walk to the car hand in hand completely happy with the little alone time they spent together. Quinn holds the door for Rachel. "Aren't you just the sweetest girlfriend in the world."
"Anything for you Toots." She hops in the car and drives back to the parking lot.
"Thanks Q." Rachel leans her head down and kisses Quinn's shoulder. She hasn't told Quinn that she's been crying every night thinking about their future. They only have the summer to enjoy each other's company then it'll be different time zones and thousands of miles away. A stray tear escapes her eyes so she quickly sits up and collects herself. She didn't want to ruin their night especially about this topic.
"What's wrong?" concerned Quinn pulls into a parking spot and faces her girlfriend.
"I'm just really happy Quinn. Let's go enjoy prom with our friends." Rachel turns her head, kisses Quinn for a quick second and exits the car.
Quinn smiles at her girlfriend and exits the car. She looked over to Rachel who was glowing beautifully in her dress. "Shall we?"
Rachel smiles broadly and wished they can walk in there holding hands. When she turns and looks beside her seeing Quinn Fabray and knowing that she's in love with her was enough. It's hard to believe she's going to her senior prom with the prettiest girls in school. She never thought even in her wildest dreams that tonight would even happen for her. She avoided high school dances the first two years because of how everyone treated her. Now she's entering a momentous time in her life with the girl she loves and she couldn't be more happier.
"You ready?" Quinn looks at Rachel and sees her nod her head. "Let's go have a great night then." Her smile was always a beautiful sight. She opens the doors and enter their school.
They walk into the cafeteria and was amazed at how beautifully decorated it was. There was balloons, streamers that went from one side of the gym and all the way to the opposite end. The lights were just everywhere giving off the perfect ambiance. They keep looking at each other and couldn't help themselves from smiling.
"There you girls are. We've been looking all over for you. Let's dance." Kurt grabs both their hands and drags them to the dance floor.
Quinn was a little embarrassed but seeing the smile on Rachel's face made her put in the effort to try and have a good time. While she was dancing around Rachel she notices Thomas sitting by himself. She leans towards Rachel and tells her she'll be right back.
Quinn started walking towards him and the sight almost made her sick. He noticed her walking towards him and he couldn't help but smile.
"Come on." Quinn orders.
Thomas stands up and follows her. Quinn quickly finds her friends and walks towards them. She turns around and faces Thomas, "Sit here so that at least you know some people. If you want me to drive you back to your car it's not a problem. I'm just not in the mood to babysit you all night."
"It's fine Quinn. Go be with your friends."
What the hell is up with this guy? "I don't understand you, why would you sit through a high school prom with people you don't know rather than me driving you back to your car so you can go home?"
"Did you ever think that I might just be a nice a guy?"
Quinn looks at him and there was something about him that made her feel really guilty for putting him through this. Then she has this other side that hates the expression on his face and wished that he'll just leave so she doesn't have to keep watching her back. She rolls her eyes battling which side she'll choose. "Do you want to dance?"
"Yeah, but can you keep up?" Thomas grabs her hand and started walking towards the dance floor. Quinn couldn't believe he has the audacity to drag her right in the middle of the dance floor. When she actually saw how good of a dancer he was she started enjoying herself. They danced until the song ended and she leaned over and gave him a hug. "Thanks for the dance."
Thomas smiles and walks with her back to the table where all her friends were at. The rest of the night was actually pretty entertaining Thomas was dancing with all the glee girls and everyone was getting along with him just fine. So his time wasn't a complete waste even though a few of the teachers found it odd that he didn't look familiar and seems a little older than the rest of the kids. It was their night off so questioning a student isn't how they want to spend their time tonight.
Principal Figgins took to the stage to announce prom queen and king. When he was finished announcing the guys Quinn was shocked to hear her name because when she doesn't even remember being nominated. Rachel was so excited to hear her girlfriends name and the idea of dating the prom queen would be a cherry on top on her fabulous night. Quinn looks at Rachel and sees her shooing her up the stage. She started walking up and stands along side Santana and two other Cheerios.
Seeing Santana's evil smirk could only mean that she had something to do her standing here. She smiled back and looked for Rachel on the crowd down on the dance floor. When she spotted her she winked and smiled seeing her favorite smile on her girlfriends face.
"Prom King goes to Finn Hudson!"
Everyone clapped shocked to hear he won but Finn wasn't there to accept his award so Principal Figgins just continued on.
"And now for prom queen." He opens the envelope and announces, "Quinn Fabray!"
Rachel jumps up and claps her hands ecstatic to hear that her girlfriend just won. Everyone started clapping their hands and cheering for Quinn.
She couldn't believe that she'd won so it took her a few minutes to walk up to Mr. Figgins and accept her crown. She knew Rachel and the rest of the glee club had something to do with this. When she approached the front of the stage Mr. Figgins places the crown on her head. The music started playing so that the king and queen could have their first dance. Everyone was starring at Quinn standing lonesome on the stage. Thomas rushes over and offers his hand.
"Can I have this dance?" he says with a soft smile. Quinn nods and places her hand on top of his. He leads her towards the middle of the dance floor feeling the spot light directed towards them. He places his hand above her waist and they start to sway with the music. Everyone's eyes we're locked on them.
Rachel felt a hand on her shoulder when she looked beside her Kurt's smile momentarily took her unsettling feelings away. She took one step back wanting to rush over to Quinn and dance with her but knew it wasn't even possibility. She just watched her girlfriend glide around the dance floor with some random friend from the past and pushed down all the frustration building inside her.
"Thanks." Quinn whispers.
"Your welcome." He moves closer to her dancing to the music. "You might want to learn how react to certain surprises in your life. The frozen shock expression is a little dull." he jokes.
She gives him mean look and smiles at his joke. "I really wasn't expecting it. I wasn't even promoting it but I'm a little glad I won."
"It's nice to know your peers acknowledge you."
"It's not that. My mother thinks its a right of passage winning prom queen. I use to think that being popular was everything until I grew up and realized what's really important."
Her smile was captivating Thomas couldn't take his eyes off her. He returned the smile and felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. His head whips around and noticed that everyone had joined them in the dance floor.
Quinn pulls away from him and embraces Rachel in the tight hug.
"Why do I get the feeling you had something to do about this?" She whispers in Rachel's ear.
Thomas steps back and noticed the change in Quinn's persona now that Rachel was speaking to her. He thought he would have more time alone with Quinn just so he can finally tell her the truth.
"My lips are sealed." Rachel jokes and tucks in her lips locking them shut with a make believe key with her fingers.
"I wish I could kiss you right now." Quinn's eyes blaze and that single thought was enough to shake off all the doubt and just be alone with her girlfriend. She takes Rachel's wrist and leads her out of the dance floor.
"Quinn? Where are you taking me?"
Once they were out of the crowd they walk out of the gymnasium and find an empty hallway.
"What do you think your doing Ms. Fabray?" Rachel found herself sandwiched between the wall and her sexy girlfriend.
"Showing my appreciation to the sexiest girl in this entire school." Quinn places a chaste kiss on Rachel's neck.
Rachel shuts her eyes and engulfs herself in the ecstasy of her girlfriends lips slowly grazing the nape of neck. She keeps her hands by Quinn's waist and pulls her pelvis closer. "Quinn." She whispers. Her breath becoming more and more heavy as Quinn moves her lips along Rachel's jaw.
"Yes baby." Quinn response nibbling on Rachel's earlobe.
"I..." Rachel shuts her eyes completely aroused.
"Oh my god!" Tina quickly turns around and stops Mike from walking any further.
"What is it Tina?" Mike tries to peek through but Tina had a good grip on him so he wasn't able to see what startled her.
Quinn quickly steps away from Rachel hearing Tina's shocked voice. Rachel slowly opens her eyes annoyed that they were interrupted. She sees Tina's back, her girlfriend almost in a panic so she walks over to Quinn to try and calm her down.
"Quinn, Santana and Britney are looking for you." Tina still facing away from the two and embarrassed for catching them at a heated moment. She hears Rachel laughing at her panicked girlfriend which calmed her down a bit knowing they found some amusement in this awkward situation.
Once her heart rate slowed she was able to smile and give Rachel a quick peck. In the heat of the moment her mind slips and forgets she was suppose to help Santana and Britney with something.
"I'll be back." She walks away and makes eye contact with Tina and Mike. "Thanks Tina, I'll see you guys in there." She quickly runs off and heads back to the gymnasium.
Rachel straightens out her dress and stands next to Tina.
Tina looks at her and the smile on Rachel's face was something she's never seen before. It was a smile full of happiness and love.
"You guys look really happy together." Tina comments.
Rachel bashfully smiles and nods her head.
"I'm happy for you guys." Tina puts her arm around Rachel's shoulder and pulls her closer to her.
"Thanks Tina."
"We should head back we only have thirty minutes to dance our ass off." Mike does a quick spin and offers his arms to both girls. "Shall we ladies?"
They link each their arms around Mikes and a start walking back to the gym.
Where is she? Rachel was looking everywhere for Quinn but she was no where to be found. She glanced at the clock and a sinking feeling settles in her heart. There's not a lot of time left where could she possibly be.
"Have you guys seen Quinn?" she ask Sam who was sitting down with Artie.
"No, sorry Rachel. I'm sure she's around here." He stands up and looks around the dance floor.
"It's the last song of the night and she's been gone for twenty minutes." Rachel was starting to worry that Quinn won't be next to her to end this amazing night.
"I think I see her in the dance floor. She's wearing blue right?"
"Yeah she is." Rachel looks at the direction Sam was looking but even with heals she still couldn't find Quinn through the crowd. "Where are you looking?"
"I think that's her, just walk towards the middle of the stage and I'm pretty sure that's her."
"Okay, thanks Sam."
***Rachel walks towards the dance floor gently excusing herself from all the students who are enjoying the last few minutes of prom. She looks back at Sam and all she sees is his head nudging in the direction of the stage. Then she hears a familiar voice through the speakers.
Rachel whips her head around and sees Quinn on the stage looking directly at her. She smiles surprised that Quinn was serenading her.
"Can I have this dance?" Puck offers his hand to her and the shocked expression on Rachel's face was enough for an answer. Without giving it a second thought he pulls her close and they started to dance. He leads her towards the front of the stage so that they can be closer to Quinn.
"You having fun?" He whispers in her ear.
"I'm having the time of my life." She bites her lower lip remembering her first dance with Quinn.
"From one hot Jew to another, I think your exactly what Q needs in her life."
Rachel takes her eyes off Quinn and stares at Puck stunned by his words. His goofy smile was something she'll absolutely miss.
"Can I cut in?" Kurt was beside them and Puck hands Rachel over to him and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
Rachel looks over at Quinn and catches her girlfriend wink at her with a sexy grin on her face.
They sway into the music and she couldn't stop herself from asking.
"How's Finn?"
"Still not talking to me." Kurt replies saddened at the thought. "Don't worry Rachel he just needs time."
She knew her relationship wasn't going to be the easiest thing to accept. She just didn't expect she might be losing a friend over something like this. She just hopes that Finn will forgive everyone before school ends.
"My turn to take the lady for a spin Kurt."
Rachel recognized Britney's voice and was surprised to see her asking for a turn.
Kurt steps back and hands Rachel over to Britney. He kissed her on the cheek before releasing her hand.
"Q really loves you."
She gives Britney a quick hug grateful that she will always be by Quinn's side. Rachel then turns her attention back at Quinn. They stare at each with huge smiles on their faces. Seeing her girlfriend performing on stage was such a turn on she was counting down the minutes for them to finally be alone.
After Britney she managed to dance with almost everyone from glee. Everyone twirled her, spoke highly of her relationship with Quinn and congratulated her on her accomplishments.
"Move over wheels. It's my turn." Santana orders.
Rachel looks at Santana a little frightened.
Santana holds out her hand and gives Rachel an irritated look. "Come on Rachel don't just stand there."
Rachel places her hand on top and the she fells Santana's hand on her waist. This was the strangest match up yet, I can't believe she's actually dancing with me in front of the whole student body.
"So are you going to tell me what's going on."
"No, but I will tell you that I'm glad we're friends. I know I was a pain in the begining I'm sorry. But you have to admit it toughtend you out a little." Her smirk was gentle she always knew Santana had a softer side.
"May I have this dance?"
Santana was shocked to even see him here. Rachel smiles and Santana hands her over to Finn. He pulls her closer but he had no idea how difficult this was going to be.
"I'm happy for you." He says painfully.
Rachel looks up at him but couldn't meet his eyes, he kept looking around her still finding it difficult to accept her new relationship.
"Finn." She wanted things to be back from how they once were but she knew thats asking for too much.
"I really am Rachel." he looks down and meets her eyes. "I know you see the best in people so I shouldn't be worried about who you choose to be in a relationship with. Quinn is a lucky girl."
Rachel couldn't believe what Finn was saying. She knew this was difficult for him but she was really happy to see him starting to accept who she is and who she chooses to be with.
"Can I cut in?"
Rachel couldn't hold back her smile seeing Quinn in front of her. Finn meets Quinn's eyes then looks at her hand and hesistates giving Rachel away. He leans down and gives Rachel a kiss on the cheek. Knowing this will be their last dance together. "Thanks Quinn. Don't break her heart okay?" He places Rachel's hand on top of Quinn's and steps aside.
"Never. Thank for keeping her company Finn."
He looks up and sees Quinn's genuine smile. Watching the two of them get lost in each others eyes was a sight worth witnessing. They really are in love.
Quinn held Rachel close to her feeling the warmth throughout her entire body. Their eyes were locked in each others loving gaze. Rachel bites her lower lip and Quinn's eyes narrows in on the playful action.
"Are you going to explain what I just experienced?" Rachel wonders.
Quinn smiles as she memorizes Rachel's reaction to her surprise. "I wanted to make sure I get the last dance of the night."
Rachel feels her heart swell filled with Quinn's love. She pulled her closer and couldn't hold back her tears. Now that she knew her girlfriends plan dancing with everyone didn't make it so obvious that Quinn was the one that mattered most.
"Oh, Quinn." Was all she can say as tears fall down her cheeks. This night was absolutely perfect.
"I love you Rachel." Quinn whispers. They held each other until the song ended.
The glee club surrounded them blocking away the crowd so that no one can see their intimate moment. They kiss each other on the lips for a quick second and turn to their friends.
"After party?" Quinn asks.
"AFTER PARTY!" Everyone cheers and was thrilled that the night has only begun.
