Chapter 2 – Maybe a date?

In Quinn's little red car, the girls were both trying to think of something to say to the other.

"Q-Quinn? Can I ask you something?" Rachel stammered.

"You already did, didn't you?" Quinn cheekily replied, laughing.

"You're not about to publicly humiliate me are you?"

"WHAT? Why would you think that?"

"Well, it's just that you and Brittany and Santana have not had the best intentions when it came to me, and history shows that we have had a very colourful past, so I was just wondering. I know we said this is just coffee for us to get to know each other, but I can't help but wonder?" Rachel was rambling again; somehow it got worse when she was around the blonde.

"Oh Rach. That's not what is going to happen at all. I asked you for coffee so we can chat without the added pressure of everyone else hanging around!" Quinn was nervous as well. She hadn't spent that much time alone with Rachel outside of school, and she wasn't sure how this was going to go.

Once at the Lima Bean, the girls ordered their coffees and sat opposite each other in a booth in the corner, looking out over the carpark.

"So Quinn, how are you?" Such a simple question, yet so many different meanings. Maybe I should tell her what its really like, being pregnant at 16, getting kicked out by my parents, only for my Mum to take me back in once she left my ignorant Father… Quinn didn't know how to answer. Too many thoughts running through her head for her to give a complicated answer…

"I'm okay. It's been a rough year, but it's getting better slowly. I've made up my mind to be nicer to people, hence why we're here." Quinn smiled, looking the Brunette deep in her chocolate coloured eyes.

Rachel blushed as Quinn looked her in the eyes, she was not used to anyone looking into her eyes, not even when she was with Finn- what he didn't know was that he was her beard. She was gay through and through but she was not ready to come out, especially since Kurt had been bullied so much.

"Well I'm not too sure how to respond to that, so I'm just going to say that it's nice just sitting here and hanging out with you Quinn! It's definitely a nice change." Rachel reached out and took Quinn's hand in hers without even thinking. Quinn took one look at the smaller hand in hers and thought how perfectly they fit together. Rachel took her hand away after realising what she had done, and Quinn already missed the feeling of having the brunette hold her hand.

"I did have an ulterior motive for asking you here for coffee Rach." Oh CRAP. Why did I say that? She's probably going to think I was lying earlier!

"Yes Quinn?" Rachel looked terrified.

"Well, I was wondering. Would you like to come to my place on Friday night? I am, um, having a slumber party."

"QUINN! That sounds lovely! I haven't been to a slumber party since I was 10! I think it was because I might have had a bit of a diva fit after none of the other girls there would let me sing…"

"Rach – that's cool, we might have a little karaoke if you would like, I'll message Santana and tell her to bring her karaoke machine with her." Quinn pulled out her phone and typed a quick text to Santana.

S- Can you help me organise girl's slumber party for Friday night? Bring your karaoke machine! Just me, you and B. Oh and Rachel.

Santana read her text and rolled her eyes.

"Oh god, here we go, why does she always drag US into these situations?"

Santana didn't really care if Rachel came or not, she liked Rachel even if she didn't show it.

Yeah, Yeah Q whatevers. Can we gets our drink on?

Quinn smiled up at Rachel after hearing back from Santana.

"It's on! Are you ready for this?"

"Oh definitely Quinn" Rachel smiled back at the blonde.
