A.N: HELLO! I'm so so so sorry! It's taken me ages to post this; I've just been soo busy! Hope you enjoy the new chapter :)
This chapter is set as if the episode 'the first time' never happened. Much like a lot of my story (: Just thought I should remind you!
Rachel couldn't deny the nerves that swelled her body as she walked into the auditorium but no one was there yet. She sat on the stage, swinging her legs as they didn't quite meet the ground. She fiddled with her hair; she straitened her skirt and looked at her nails – anything to direct her trail of thought away from Quinn. After a while she wondered if Quinn wasn't going to turn up at all. Maybe it was all some sick joke or maybe she'd got too nervous. Either way Rachel didn't blame her, she was terrified.
Rachel jumped hearing the doors of the auditorium open to reveal the girl "Thanks for turning up." Quinn smiled, Rachel gulped.
"Well it's only appropriate seeing as you asked." She replied however Quinn just shrugged.
"I heard what happened with you and Finn." She admitted, getting closer "Is it because of me?"
Rachel stood up, she observed the taller girl for a moment, socking up the silence before saying "I…" she sighed, it wouldn't be right to lie to Quinn. Not when she had put all this on the line, not when it was so obvious she was terrified "Kind of… I couldn't go through with it… you know… sleeping with him… because of what happened with us." Rachel looked at her feet nervously and tried to ignore the chances of tears "So he broke up with me."
Quinn stepped closer to her "Rachel… I'm so sorry." She put her hand on Rachel's shoulder "Really."
"It doesn't matter." Rachel whispered "If he hadn't broken up with me, I probably would have broken up with him after a while." She fiddled with her skirt again.
"About what happened… yesterday." A blush crept up Rachel's face; Quinn touched her cheek lightly "Why are you so embarrassed?"
"I…I don't know." Quinn couldn't remember ever hearing Rachel lost for words. She stepped closer to the girl so that Rachel could feel breathing on her forehead.
"Rachel, I'm going to go out there and say it… I think…Maybe… I think I may be attracted to you." Now Quinn was blushing, both girls face red with embarrassment.
"And I can't deny that I'm attracted to you…" Rachel replied, fear in her voice but not her words.
Quinn bent down and pressed her lips on Rachel's. Both girls were scared, it was so new. Quinn's mouth was soft and sweet. She was delicate and they were taking it painfully slow. Soon Quinn's moth asked Rachel's for entrance and there kiss depended, Rachel wrapped her arms around Quinn's back and soon Quinn's hands were in Rachel's hair.
Finally they broke apart; Rachel hugged Quinn, resting her head on the girls shoulder. It didn't take Quinn long to realise that there were tears in the corners of Rachel's eyes. It broke her heart a little to see Rachel like this. She wiped a tear away and tried to smile reassuringly "Rachel… what's wrong?" she whispered so quietly Rachel could hardly hear.
Rachel blinked innocently "I'm confused."
"Yeah… me too." Quinn admitted, both girls eyes locked and the laughed sadly.
The girls sat on Rachel's bed, legs crossed just talking. Rachel had driven them both home, with Quinn talking to her mother on the phone saying she was going to do revision with Brittney. For once Rachel didn't care about the lying she staying quiet focusing only on getting home without crashing the car in shock from the last hour.
"Just think, a year ago I was throwing slushies' at you, calling you names." Quinn continued, sipping tea out of a baby blue china cup.
"Yeah." Rachel laughed looking at the girl. She really was perfect, her hair a striking blonde and her lips full and pink "I think it's important we talk about what happened in the auditorium and what happened yesterday…" Rachel said finally, the words tripping her up.
"Okay." Quinn smiled, moving closer to the girl and placing the coffee mug on her desk "Yesterday, I don't know what I was doing and I'm so sorry if I messed up your things with Finn." She admitted Rachel shrugged.
"I never really liked Finn. well not as much as I like you." she replied quietly, her face going red again, she hated herself for that. "B-But if anything is going to happen, between us, I don't want to tell anyone about it. yet."
"I agree." Whispered Quinn, then she looked like she was thinking very hard "though there can't be any exceptions. Not even Kurt."
Rachel just nodded, her brow furrowed "Okay." She said. They stayed quite for a moment, sipping there tea.
"This is kinda weird." Quinn admitted for a moment, both girls laughed but it wasn't real laughing. It was the kind of laughing you do when you realize how fucked up the world must be, if you can't even bring yourself to say the word lesbian. The kind of laugh you do when you don't get how something can be so brilliant but so crappy at the same time. "But Rachel Berry. Would you be my girlfriend?"
Rachel looked at her awkwardly then realized there was no point of be nervous. not anymore "I'd love to."
