CHAPTER 6

The first thing Quinn found the next morning was the hibiscus rose and note. She smiled and blushed as she read the note. Her phone vibrated in her pocket.

'I take it you like it?'

Quinn replies. 'How would you know?'

'I can see you.'

Across the hall Rachel scowled. "Santana that sounds stalkerish."

Quinn quirked an eyebrow. 'That doesn't sound weird. Insert sarcasm here.'

'Didn't mean for it to be. You look very beautiful today.'

Quinn smiled wider. 'Thank you. Are you ever going to tell me who you are?'

'When the time is right.'

Quinn shook her head but the smile remained as she headed to class.

"Well that's done." Santana said as she linked pinkies with Brittany.

"Santana." Rachel said before she could walk away.

"What?"

"Joanna has this big wedding she has to get flowers done for and is wondering if you and Brittany still want the jobs she gave you." Rachel said.

The two exchanged surprised looks before smiling. "Yeah, we want them. Hadley's can be HQ." Santana said before she and Brittany walked off.

"HQ?" Joanna asked handing the customer her flowers and shutting the register.

"Yeah, I mean we'll be here for most of the time so we might as well call it HQ." Santana said.

"Don't you guys have cheerios practice?" Joanna asked.

"Sue mostly makes us practice in the mornings at ungodly hours and during school hours. But we'll tell you if she calls an after school practice. Since Beiste we haven't had many since we can't use the field." Santana said as they continued gathering the flowers for the wedding.

"Whose wedding is this anyway?" Puck asked.

"A friend of mine from high school. We went to college together and that's how I met Liv, she introduced us." Joanna said as she went over the itinerary the bride had given her.

"How old are you?" Santana asked and Joanna quirked an eyebrow.

"How old do you think I am?" Joanna asked.

"I don't know." Santana shrugged. "Your girlfriend is a doctor and so I thought maybe you two are the same age."

Joanna chuckled. "No. Liv's two years older than me." Joanna said. "I'm twenty four."

"If she went to med school how did you meet?" Brittany asked.

"My friend is Liv's age. They were roommates in Med school. I've only been with Olivia for a year. She went to Harvard Med. After gramps passed away I left the shop to Rachel's dads and I travelled. I had just finished college. The man held on long enough to see me get that diploma." She took a shaky breath. "But I was only going to spend a month out there to visit her. We went for lunch one day with her then boyfriend now fiancé and they brought Liv along. We hit it off and I ended up staying for three more months. After that we stayed in touch and I continued travelling." Joanna shrugged as she tied off the perfect bow and set the flowers in a vase for the center piece of a table.

"How did you guys end up here?" Brittany asked.

"She finished med school and got an internship here so she moved out here surprising the hell out of me." Joanna laughed. "We managed a long distance relationship somehow. While I was travelling I sent her little things that reminded me of her and sent her photos of the sights I saw. When she would get the chance she would write letters then take a picture of it and send them to me. " Joanna smiled.

"But for the year the two of us spent apart we'd video chat or one of us would fly out. Because by the time I finished med school I knew that I found the love of my life. The one I would want to spend forever with."

They all stared at Liv and Brittany sniffled wiping a tear from her cheek. Santana reached over and took her hand making the blonde beam.

"Hey, when did you get here?" Joanna asked with a soft smile.

"I always come in from the garden." Liv said. "I heard you guys talking and I've been here since Brittany asked how we met." Liv answered walking over and taking her hand. She kissed her deeply. "Show me a ring and I'll give you forever." Liv said softly but the occupants still heard. She kissed Joanna once more before walking out.

Before Joanna could utter a sound Rachel spoke up. "Go. We got it down here."

Joanna smiled. "Thanks." She went after Liv.

Rachel plugged her iPod into the dock and pressed play. The sounds of Kelly Clarkson filled the shop as they continued making the assortments and settings for the wedding.

When Quinn opened her locker the next day she was shocked to find it filled with bouquets. One bouquet for each flower she had received. There was a new one though. She grabbed the note off the new bouquet.

'The stock. It means you will always be beautiful to me and you will be no matter what.'

She smiled wide at them and found another note taped to the locker door.

She opened the note.

'I hope these last. I have found myself stuck with a task. I don't know when I will find the time to give you more. But let these be a reminder of how I feel when you look at them.'

Quinn frowned. She didn't know why but she was going to miss her admirer.

Kurt saw this and raised an eyebrow at the flowers. He walked past Quinn as stealthily as he could and caught a glimpse of the letter. He began wondering who would give Quinn so many flowers. A normal person would send roses.

Blaine walked up to him holding a white lily. Kurt smiled as they hugged.

"What's that for?" Kurt asked pointing to the flower.

"Oh." Blaine's who face lit up with a smile that reached his eyes. "This is for you. It's a-"

Kurt finished for him "A white lily. I know. Why?" Kurt asked taking the flower. "I would think that anyone would get roses for their loved ones." Kurt said sniffing the flower.

"Yeah but when I went to the flower shop Rachel said that roses were too often used and that flowers have their own language and she told me to go with this one so I did." Blaine smiled kissing Kurt's cheek. "Do you not like it?" Blaine asked.

"Hold on Rachel?"

"Yeah, she told me this one would be better than just a rose."

"Why?" Kurt asked.

"She told me it means that it's heavenly to be with you." Blaine said.

Kurt melted and hugged him again. "I love it and I love you." Blaine smiled. He thought he had done something wrong.

"I love you too." He took his hand.

"Now what was Rachel doing at the flower shop?" Kurt asked smelling his flower.

"Her cousin owns the place. She works there." Blaine answered.

Kurt grinned. It was all falling into place and he kicked himself for not seeing it sooner. He knew exactly who had put those flowers in Quinn's locker.

Kurt walked into the flower shop after school to find Brittany and Santana putting together center pieces and Puck placing finished ones into boxes while Rachel gave a lady her change.

"Hi Kurt." Brittany greeted with a bright smile as the lady left.

"I was expecting to see Rachel, not you three." Kurt said pointing to the two cheerios and Puck.

"I've been working here for three months." Puck said carrying a box out to the back room.

"We just got hired." Brittany smiled.

"I've been working here on and off for years." Rachel said and it was true ever since Joanna moved in with her grandfather and then when her daddy Hiram took over for that year.

Joanna walked in and groaned. She recognized Kurt from the glee club performances and as Burt's son. She and Burt have a deal. Half off repairs in exchange that Joanna sends flowers to Carol for every special occasion in case he was to forget for a fourth of the regular price. "Rachel, if I end up hiring another one of your friends I'm firing you." Joanna groaned.

"I'm not looking for a job." Kurt assured.

"And you didn't have to hire us." Santana said.

"Yes, but if you're going to spend a lot of time here I might as well pay you to help."

"I'm just here to talk to Rachel." Kurt said.

"Ok, just make sure they keep working on those." Joanna pointed as Liv walked up behind her.

"Hey, I'm off to work. I'll see you tomorrow?"

"You know I don't have a life." Joanna teased as Liv kissed her softly.

"Stop being dramatic, you're a bad influence on Rachel." Liv teased as she left.

"It's Uncle Hiram's fault!" Joanna called after her giggling girlfriend.

"What did you need Kurt?" Rachel asked.

"I know what you've been up to." Kurt said.

"And what would that be?" Rachel asked.

"The flowers in Quinn's locker?" Kurt hummed. "I must say I was curious about who would give Quinn an assortment of flowers but then Blaine gave me that white lily and said you were working her and that just clicked everything into place. Anyone else would just get roses."

"Roses are for losers who don't know the first thing about romance." Puck scoffed.

"Please tell me he is joking." Kurt said to Rachel who giggled.

"Joanna babysat Noah and me when we were kids and to keep busy she taught us about flowers and taught us how to plant and grow them." Rachel said.

"Yes, now keep working." Joanna said as Puck carried another full box to the back.

"So it has been you." Kurt grinned.

"Yes, it is."

"Why?" Kurt asked.

"Oh please Hummel; if you can't see it you are blind." Santana huffed putting her finger on the tie so Brittany could finish the bow.

Kurt looked at Santana then gasped. "No! You like her?" Kurt asked Rachel who blushed. "What did all the flowers mean?"

Brittany answered and Rachel blushed more because she added what she wrote on the little notes.

"Aww, that is so romantic. How can I help?" Kurt asked making Rachel drop her jaw in shock.

Rachel recovered. "Just help us keep out secret. We have this wedding thing going on and so I won't find time to get any other flowers to her." Rachel said.

"You have my word." Kurt swore.

True to the note Quinn received nothing for a week. When the second week rolled through Quinn was saddened that she hadn't received anything. But as she sat in glee Thursday afternoon she noticed something. Something she noticed beforehand too. Puck and Rachel were glued to each other's side and Santana and Brittany hung out with them. She was curious then and now she was confused.

The quad wasn't here. She hadn't seen either of them all day. It didn't help that while she was focused on them that she was still trying to find a way out of her cousin's wedding. Her mother has been bugging her about it for days. They had received the invitation almost two weeks ago. Her cousin didn't want a big wedding but she wanted a happy and well decorated one. She invited family and close friends so it wasn't much. They barely had family in Ohio.

She wasn't going to voice anything and she didn't have to because Finn did.

"Where's Rachel?" he asked and Kurt rolled his eyes.

"If you must know Finn. Rachel is out at work. Her cousin got a big job and she and Puck are helping her set up." Kurt answered. He had told Blaine of the plan but only because he couldn't lie to his boyfriend.

"But she never misses school."

"Kurt and I gathered their work for the rest of the week." Blaine said. "Santana and Brittany as well." Kurt gave him a look. He wasn't supposed to say anything about the two cheerios.

"Santana and Brittany?" Tina asked.

"They work with Puck and Rachel at her cousin's shop." Kurt answered.

"Ok. Let's just get to set list suggestions." Mr. Schue said.

Quinn glared. Of course he would take advantage of Rachel not being there. But now she was more curious. How could Santana and Rachel work together and not kill each other? She guessed they put their differences aside since they were co-workers. That explained why she saw them hanging out around school.

Quinn pulled out her sketch book and tuned all of them out as she worked on a new sketch. She had spotted Rachel in the auditorium a few days ago and the spotlight had created a halo behind the girl. She was so engrossed in her work she didn't notice that Mr. Schue had addressed her till Tina tapped her shoulder. She looked up.

"Quinn." She looked at Mr. Schue. "Do you have any suggestions for our set list?"

"No." She went back to her sketch.

Review please.
