CHAPTER 8

Rachel, Puck, Santana and Brittany walked in Sunday morning to find the shop empty.

"Where's Joanna?" Brittany asked. They heard shuffling above and Rachel led them to the back and up the stairs to the apartment.

Rachel used her key and let them in. What they found shocked them.

"Oh my god!"

Joanna grabbed the afghan off the back of the couch and draped it over her and Liv.

"Knock much?" Joanna cries as Liv groans and hide her face in the crook of her neck.

"You weren't downstairs…" Rachel trailed off.

Joanna looked at the clock. "You aren't supposed to be in for another fifteen minutes."

"Dude." Puck muttered with a dopey look.

Joanna grabbed a pillow off the floor and chucked it at him. "Get out!"

Rachel shoved him out the door.

"You two are hot." Brittany said and Santana took her hand leading her back downstairs.

"I'll be down after a shower." Joanna said as Rachel nodded and left.

"That was so embarrassing." Liv groaned.

"Let's go shower." Joanna said taking her hand and leading her to the bathroom.


Joanna and Liv walked downstairs hand in hand. Puck made a face and Joanna glared at him. Rachel shook her head and Santana smiled.

Brittany gasped. "You're getting married?" she rushed over and took Liv's left hand and looked at the ring.

"Congratulations!" Rachel squealed.

"We interrupted your celebration." Puck said and Liv groaned. Joanna glared.

"Shut up Puckerman and work." Joanna said as the girls laughed.

"Well, I am going to go visit my parents." Liv said kissing Joanna's cheek before leaving.

"I hate you all." Joanna groaned as she headed to the backyard to water the flowers.


They gathered in the shop Monday morning and Joanna was handing Rachel an exact replica of the corsage she had made for Quinn and a white violet.

"What are these for?" Rachel asked.

"I may have sped things up." Santana said. "Quinn probably will be asking Finn who told him to get the corsage. So I thought you should tell her it was you before she asks."

"How do you suppose I do that?" Rachel asked. "Because I asked her to meet me at her locker at seven thirty so we must go." Santana said as they left and Joanna rolled her eyes.

Puck placed the corsage in Quinn's locker and shut it before going around the corner to join the three girls.

"How long till she gets here?" Puck asks.

"We have ten minutes." Santana said turning to Rachel. "Do you know what you are going to say?"

"Santana. I understand everything. I have it memorized and I'm nervous. Like meeting Barbra Streisand nervous so please don't remind me what I am doing." Rachel said taking a deep breath.

"What were you planning on doing?" Santana asked. "Giving her flowers tills you ran out of ways to tell her you love her through flowers?"

"At least it would have given me more time to prepare!" Rachel huffed indignantly. Santana rolled her eyes.


Five minutes later they spotted Quinn and Brittany and Santana shoved Rachel out into the hall and Puck gave her a gentle shove forward.

Just as Quinn had picked up the gardenia Rachel stepped up behind her.

Rachel took a deep breath and tapped Quinn's shoulder.

Quinn turned, corsage still in hand and smiled when she saw Rachel. But the nervous look in the brunette's eyes worried her. But before she could say anything Rachel pulled the hand that was behind her back up and held a white violet up to Quinn.

"Take it." Rachel said and Quinn furrowed her brow but took the flower and saw the note tied to it.

Quinn read the note. 'The white violet-"Let's take a chance?"'

She looks up at Rachel to see her fidgeting. "It was you? It is you?" Quinn cleared her throat. "You were the one who told Finn what to get for a corsage?" A nod. "And you've been the one putting flowers in my locker?" Rachel nodded then shook her head. "Yes or no Rachel."

"Well yes, but I had help." Rachel said. "It goes against my belief to vandalize school property or break into people's private belongings."

Quinn chuckled and in her peripherals she spotted Santana, Brittany and Puck. She smiled and kissed Rachel's cheek.

"I loved them all. I mean I love them." Quinn said. "I was happy every time I saw a flower. The bouquets were a shock and explaining them to my mother was comical." Quinn chuckled. "But why?" she asked.

"The flowers explain it all Quinn. You know what the gardenia means and I even wrote what the flowers meant. The ball is in your court Quinn." Rachel said blushing.

Quinn looked around. The hallways were getting pretty crowded. She didn't care. The girl she had been longing after was her admirer. She liked her. She cared about her.

She loves me. Quinn thought and it brought a beaming smile to her face.

"Do you mean it?" Quinn asks. "Every meaning of the flowers?"

"Every single one." Rachel swears.

"Tell me."

Rachel swallows. "I…I love you Lucy Quinn Fabray." Rachel smiles and Quinn beams at her before grabbing her shoulders and turning them around so Rachel was pressed up against the lockers rattling them loud enough to get people's attention.

Many of them were expecting a fight but what happened next shocked them all into silence.

Quinn through the flowers into her locker and cupped the brunette's face bringing their lips together softly brushing them against one another. She brushes them once more before looking Rachel in the eye and smiling.

"I love you Rachel Barbra Berry."

This time it is Rachel who initiates the kiss and not to gently either. She waited too long for this. She needed it. Fisting a handful of the pink haired girl's shirt Rachel pulls Quinn into a deep shearing kiss full of every drop of passion she can relay through the kiss.

Quinn immediately reciprocates the kiss by leaning into the brunette.

They could care less about the dropped jaws, disgusted stairs, clapping, cat calls and wolf whistling. This was them and only them. Nothing and no one mattered.
