Sorry guys I took a while to upload a new chapter :/
A LOT of things happened this past week, but I'm back :D

Enjoy!

A week passed. Rachel and Quinn were still hanging out almost everyday after school, which made the diva really happy. Quinn didn't remember anything about ever kissing Rachel and the brunette wasn't ready to tell her, she just didn't want their friendship to get all awkward once the cheerleader would find out about it. Being close friends was definitely more than enough for now, even though Rachel was developing stronger feelings for the Cheerio day after day. She was okay with it, just because every time the blonde was around, she couldn't stop smiling and she didn't feel lonely anymore. The only bad thing was that Quinn wanted to keep their friendship a secret to avoid any bad reactions from their classmates.

"-Rach' tonight sleepover my place. Be there at 6.30pm!"

It was a friday afternoon and Quinn was getting ready to go to Glee Club. As she was walking towards the choir room she noticed Rachel busy at her locker and whispered her plan in the diva's ear, making sure no one had heard her. The brunette turned around and smiled, before finishing to get her stuff for Glee Club and following the cheerleader in the choir room.
When they arrived there, was late, as usual. Everybody was taking parts in different conversations, some of them were gossiping, girls were talking about mayke-up... Quinn sat next to Santana and Brittany and Rachel sat at the back of the class like always. Everything went well, they just talked about a possible set-list for Regionals and Shuester asked them to leave early for some odd reason.

"-Q! What are you up to tonight?"
Quinn – who was walking towards the parking lot – turned around to see Santana Lopez talk to her. They were supposed to be best-friends but the cheerleader was feeling left out since the latina was always hanging out with Brittany and not her. But now that she had Rachel she didn't feel lonely anymore and was starting to get her happiness back.
"-I'm sorry San, I'm grounded.
-Why?
-I got in a fight with my mom when my dad came back home and cursed.
-Fuck them, sneak out! We're gonna get drunk tonight!
-I can't S. I'm not getting kicked out again. Next week?"
Santana looked upset but still nodded and left Quinn to walk towards her car. The head Cheerio was feeling bad for lying to people but she was scared that she would lose her position as H.B.I.C. if people were to find out that she was hanging out with Rachel. Even Sam had no idea, he was just there to protect the cheerleader who didn't want any slushie showers anymore. She was being superficial and hypocrite and she knew it, but it was better like that.

Quinn was falling asleep on her bed listening to music when she heard knocks on her room's door. She sat up as fast as she could, trying to fix her messy hair when Rachel entered the room, smiling.
"-Were you sleeping Quinn?"

Quinn nodded and got up to hug Rachel. She loved to hug her, smell her perfume and feel her body against hers. They would often watch movies cuddling and the Cheerio felt so much better every time the diva was holding her. She just was letting her touching her hair and caressing her skin like a little child enjoying her mom's touch, maybe because she never had someone acting like that with her before...
"-How are you feeling today?" Rachel whispered in her ear.
Quinn broke the hug and smiled. She took the diva's hand and said:
"-Well right now I feel awesome because my savior agreed to spend the night over."

Rachel felt herself blushing and tried to avoid the Cheerio's eyes so she wouldn't see her bright red cheeks.
"-So what do you wanna do today/tonight? I have a few movies we could watch, or we could cook, or...
-Quinn, everything is fine really. Are your parents going to be home?
-No they're going to some kind of a gala and might sleep-over there if they're too drunk to drive. And they will be too drunk to drive."

Rachel frowned, she knew that Quinn's family was never there for her and how hard it was for the cheerleader to deal with it everyday, especially since her dad came back home. She was constantly scared the Cheerio would get kicked out for some reason and always left her phone on loud in the middle of the night in case she needed a place to go. She didn't care if the young Fabray used to torture her, she was in love and the only thing she wanted was for the cheerleader to be happy.

Quinn sat on the bed, followed by Rachel and said:
"-You know it's okay, I'm used to it. It doesn't even affect me anymore.
-Yes it does. If it didn't affect you then why did you start to cut? Why are you thinking so bad about yourself and why do you wish you were dead?
-I.. I do it less now though."

Rachel sighed and took both of Quinn's hands in hers to stare into her eyes and say:
"-You're not doing it as much because I am here now. You don't feel as lonely anymore because you know that you have a true friend who will never turn her back on you when you need her. But what's happening with your family is affecting way more than you think it does. Just the way you talk about it..."

Quinn took a while to think about what Rachel had just said and slowly nodded. She got closer to the diva who instantly took her in her arms. And when the brunette's fingers started to play with the Cheerio's hair, she said:
"-I was such an ass to you Rach'. But you're here now, I feel so lucky."

Rachel slowly kissed the blonde's forehead. At this exact moment she would have sold her soul to the devil for just one kiss on the Cheerio's lips. She hated this temptation so bad...
"-I'm too lazy to put the movie in, how about I just stay in your arms for the next 24 hours?"

Rachel couldn't take it anymore, too much cuteness. She kissed Quinn's cheek who turned around at the same time and the friendly kiss ended up to be a peck. But surprisingly the peck lasted longer than just an accidental kiss, and the cheerleader kissed back for a second, until Rachel ended the cuddling session and felt her cheeks turning bright red. Quinn couldn't know, no she couldn't, this friendship between them was too perfect and this kiss was going to ruin everything.
"-I'm sorry Quinn, I... I didn't mean to... Well you know...
-It's... Okay. You were gonna kiss my cheek right?
-Yes.
-So it's all good?
-Yes."

Quinn got up and walked towards the TV, grabbing a random DVD on her way. She didn't know what to think, and she certainly didn't know how to explain why all these butterflies were now dancing in her stomach. She barely remembered a dream she had a week ago about making out with Rachel and telling her she loved her, but it seemed so unreal. How could that ever happen? They were both girls. It was just wrong. Plus she was dating someone, so that would mean she cheated. No, she did not cheat, nothing happened it was just an accident, right?
"-Are you mad at me now Quinn?
-No. I mean it was an accident it happens I guess. Kissing girls is not big deal, it happens often when I'm getting drunk with San and Brit."

Quinn sat on the bed, keeping her distance, and with the remote in her hand, turned on the TV.
"-How is it not a big deal?" asked Rachel, upset by Quinn's reactions.
"-Because we both are straight? I mean kissing girls is so much fun and they kiss better than guys but if you're straight then it doesn't mean anything you know?"

Rachel opened her mouth just to close it again. She wanted to tell Quinn that it had happened before. She was sure it meant something, friends don't just make-out like that randomly do they? But the diva knew she had to keep it for herself or she would lose Quinn's friendship. But at the same time she just wanted to kiss her again, and again, and again.
"-You might be right." she ended up saying, upset.
