Sorry guys for the super late new chapter. I saw a few reviews asking me to keep writing and felt inspired. So here you go!

Rachel: I'll be at your place in about half an hour Quinn, I'm sorry I'm late, Finn wanted to talk to me and since I can't tell him we're friends I had to wait until he was done.
Quinn: What did he wanted to talk to you about?

Quinn felt a terrible heartache when she picked up her phone to read Rachel's text message. She didn't know what this feeling was or why she was feeling it, but she texted back as fast as her fingers let her. Sitting on her bed, she couldn't stop staring at her phone, hoping for an answer, which arrived a few minutes after.

Rachel: It's a long story.

Why would she answer that? Quinn felt like she had to know what was going on with Finn, she was scared Rachel would go back to him and then be too busy to hang out with her anymore, or was she a bit jealous? She tried her best not to think that this second solution might be true and texted back:

Quinn: We're friends Rachel, why don't you let me know what's going on in your life? I don't want to be the only one talking all the time. I'm not really interesting right now.

She read her answer at least 10 times before she sent it, it looked friendly, like really friendly, nothing more. Good. She sent it and went in the bathroom for a few minutes. She already had spent an hour in there to look pretty enough for Rachel and came back to look at herself in the mirror in case she wouldn't look pretty anymore. She was stressed out, avoiding to think about what Mrs. Pillsbury had told her earlier that day but also trying her best not to think about Rachel and any possible guy she might have in sight, like Finn. But her phone vibrated.

Rachel: Well I guess I'll tell you what happened when I see you? I'm roughly 5 minutes away from your house now.

Quinn: Ok.

So she had 5 minutes to get ready, even if she already was ready. She had 5 minutes to mentally prepare herself to whatever was going to happen once Rachel would be there. She went down the stairs, checked if the living-room was clean enough, then checked her room once again and herself in the mirror. Everything seemed perfect, so why was she so scared? When the bell rang, Quinn felt like she could not breathe anymore, she had lost it. But she managed to open the door and Rachel gave her a hug.

"-How are you doing Quinn? I'm sorry I took so long.

-I'm fine thank you."

Rachel was stunning, as always. Quinn had noticed how she was working harder on her fashion style and her beauty was just breathtaking. Today, the brunette was dressed with a black v-neck, skinny light bleu jeans and black flats; and Quinn remembered the day she told Rachel this look would suit her. It really did, way more than she would have ever thought.

After Quinn opened the door, Rachel noticed that the cheerleader was staring at her and couldn't even look at her in the eyes. And when Quinn was staring at her, Rachel had this bad habit to start blushing, awkwardly smile and lose all means. Plus, this silence was starting to seem way too long for Rachel's heart which was beating incredibly fast. She had to remedy to the situation:

"-So... Hum. I brought a few movies, 4 classic Broadway musicals and 2 Woody Allen movies... You can pick which one we're watching that's why I brought so many."

But Quinn stayed silent. Rachel couldn't stand that silence any longer and more specificity she couldn't stand Quinn standing 2 feet away from her, she could like, feel her breath on her face and it was not helping her at all.

"- Can I please come in Quinn? You're kind of quiet, are you sure that you're...
-You're beautiful."; Rachel's heart dropped, "I'm... I'm sorry but I had to tell you. Yes you can come in and yes I'm fine."

Rachel couldn't believe what Quinn had just said and she walked in her secret friend's house trying hard not to look at her. She heard Quinn close the door and before she could say anything, Quinn asked her:

"-So. What happened with Finn?

-I kinda told him I wouldn't tell anyone..."

Quinn's voice was so cold, Rachel just wanted to avoid this conversation. Finn had followed her home earlier that day to talk to her. The talk, she had been waiting for it ever since they were broken up. Finn wanted to get her back and had made it very clear. But even though she remembered wanting Finn a weeks ago, she had to say no because it just didn't feel right. And she didn't want Quinn to know anything about this, because she was afraid that their friendship would just fall apart.

"-I thought we were friends? I wanna know.

-He just wanted to know how I was doing. I don't see why this is a big deal..
-You're lying!"

Quinn seemed aggressive, there was no sign of friendship in the tone of her voice right now. She was just scary and Rachel felt like the Cheerio would break down any second.

"-What's wrong Quinn?

-You're lying to me. Finn wouldn't be that nice without having some kind of a goal to his actions.
-What? Why?"

Rachel felt herself blushing, the cheerleader was talking to her just like she used to do before they ever became friends. The brunette tried to avoid Quinn's eyes but the blonde came closer to her and grabbed her hand.

"-Finn wants you back, am I right?

-Well... Not exactly...
-Berry you better tell me.

-Yes. Why is such a big deal?

-So you have a boyfriend now?

-No I don't. I told him I didn't want to go out with him.

-Why?

-I didn't feel like it?"

Rachel saw tears in the Cheerio's eyes as she was getting closer and closer. The blonde seemed broken, like if that Finn story was hurting her really badly. The brunette felt terrible, maybe the cheerleader was still in love with the boy and this was just bad news for her.

"-I'm sorry, I'm sure you can try to get him back, he wouldn't say no..."

Rachel was trying to cheer Quinn up but it didn't seem to be working.

"-I don't want that stupid guy! I just... I'm sorry forget it. Do you wanna go upstairs?"

Quinn came back to being calm and started going up the stairs, and Rachel followed, without a word. The whole situation was just awkward.

Quinn sat on her bed, followed by Rachel who didn't know what to say. They stayed silent, avoiding each other for a big minute before Quinn finally decided to talk:

"-I'm sorry. I'm just so scared."

Her mind was invaded by all these questions she couldn't answer. Why was she feeling so uncomfortable with Rachel since that talk with Mrs. Pillsbury? But at the same time, why was she having this urge to be in those arms forever? The brunette was looking at Quinn now, she could feel it and the pressure was awful. But she had to talk to her, she had to confess her feelings, even if she couldn't even describe then correctly yet. She just wanted Rachel to be there, to hold her and make every negative thought go away...

"-I don't understand how I feel, I'm completely lost and confused Rachel. I just wish everything could be simple and I wouldn't have to worry about what's going on in my head."

Rachel stayed quiet. Quinn could still feel her looking her way but she wasn't brave enough to face that look. So she just kept talking.

"-I don't want you to go back to Finn. I'm scared of being alone if you do, like you would be spending your free time with someone else, caring about someone else and I wouldn't be special anymore you know? I want to be the only one for you. I don't even know what that means but that's how I feel. You make me happy and I don't want to lose that."

Quinn was trying her hardest not to cry, even she wanted to. She didn't know what to expect from the brunette, she didn't even had a clue about what she truly wanted. A few seconds into the silence left after Quinn was done talking, she felt Rachel's arms surrounding her and that feeling of warmth circulating inside of her. The brunette whispered in her ear:

"-I'm not going to replace you Quinn. You are very special to me. More than you think."

Rachel slowly kissed the cheerleader's cheek while one of her hand was starting to play delicately in her hair. Quinn was special, at the point where Rachel had no more doubts on her feelings towards her, she was falling in love with the person she was finally getting to know.

"-Are you comfortable with us cuddling now?"

Quinn's eyes were closed, and her head was resting on Rachel's shoulder. She wasn't thinking anymore, just enjoying how relaxed she was feeling in the brunette's arms.

"-It feels so good. I don't know what I do without you cuddling with me Rach'. I'm so sorry for everything.

-Nothing was ever your fault. And Quinn I promise that I will not give up on you, you deserve happiness and I will bring it to you."

Quinn was crying, happy tears. For the first time in a very long time, her mind emptied herself from all these stressing thoughts and Quinn felt at peace. Without thinking about anything she kissed Rachel with her eyes still closed, and her kiss slowly landed at the corner of the brunette's lips who turned around, bright red. The cheerleader opened her eyes and met Rachel's surprised and embarrassed look. Their faces were barely two inches apart and the brunette noticed that Quinn was getting even closer, until their lips touched. But before anything happened, Rachel whispered:

"-Don't make our friendship awkward again please...

-But I want to kiss you.

-You don't Quinn, you're just confused."

Quinn tried to kiss Rachel but she avoided it. The brunette was way too scared Quinn would regret this afterwards that she liked the thought of just cuddling with her for a long time than kiss and never talk to each other again. She was ready to give up on her feelings for her just to make her feel better. But Quinn was now looking at her like she was so hurt that the brunette started to feel bad.

"-Thanks. Now I don't feel stupid at all.

-Quinn I...

-You rejected me!

-Why were you going to kiss me Quinn?"

Quinn didn't even know the answer to that question, she just wanted to kiss her and hadn't been thinking about the why part. Her eyes kept on focusing on Rachel's lips, she wanted them so bad, all these butterflies flying around in her stomach were pushing her towards the brunette once again.

"-Quinn this is a bad idea, kissing isn't part of what we call a Friendship and I really think that you're way too confused about our relationship. It's normal, it's new and...

-Shut up Rachel."

Said Quinn before she took her face between her hands and kissed her like she had never kissed someone before.
