A/N: This follows on from Chapter 2. It's them when they get back to New York. I promised you all a story on Sunday so I have posted that bit first, as I haven't quite managed to get this part done. It's not really how I wanted it to all go, but my muse has sent me on another direction with another what if which you should see posted in the next few days. Sorry for the delay posting this one, I litterally just forgot about it. :-(
Friday Night
Quinn stands outside the restaurant in a powdered blue dress, clutching a bouquet of flowers. Rachel had sent a text telling her she might be late, so would meet at the restaurant. It's been 10 minutes and Quinn was starting to get pissed off with the amount of young men, and old men staring at the young blonde who looks like she has been stood up. Suddenly, a flash of red in heels comes running down the sidewalk towards Quinn and the restaraunt.
Quinn smiles at the sight of Rachel in a gorgeous strapless red dress, with heels and lipstick to match. She is in 4 inch heels making her nearly the same height as Quinn who was smart enough to wear flats tonight. Rachel stands in front of Quinn and looks deeply into her eyes before whispering three words. "You look gorgeous."
Quinn blushes and lets out a breath of air. "You are a vision tonight Rach." She smiles and then offers her arm which Rachel takes eagerly. "Reservation for Fabray." She says to the waiter who smiles at the two beautiful women in front of him and shows them to their table.
"This place is lovely Quinn." The waiter hands them their menus and asks what they want to drink. "Two glasses of red wine please." Quinn smiles when Rachel orders for her like old times.
"How was your journey back?"
Rachel groans. "Awful. I didn't manage to get to sleep last night until late..." Quinn smirks as she knows she was the reason why. Whereas Rachel had to be up stupidly early, Quinn didn't have a shoot until later in the afternoon and Puck was on Madeline duty so she could handle the phone call until the middle of the night. Thank god for Unlimited minutes. "Then the plane was delayed due to bad weather and Kurt forgot to pick me up from the airport."
"Aw sorry to hear that. I hope this night goes better for you."
"It already is. You are looking stunning tonight Quinn. Like seriously edible right now."
Quinn lets out a loud laugh making some of the other patrons of the restaraunt look over. "God can we just forget the meal right now?"
"No. You promised me a date, and I expect a date." Rachel says taking a sip of her drink. Quinn groans, just wanting to take Rachel back to her apartment and kissing the other girl senseless. "Oh shh Princess and order your food."
The girls continue to talk about everything or nothing as they slowly eat their deserts, spending more time actually staring at the other woman rather than eating. It was Quinn who finally came out of their reverie and noticed that there was only one more couple in the restaurant and the waitresses and waitors were starting to look annoyed. "Oh my god, we've been here for hours."
Rachel looks up and lets out a loud laugh. "We better get going then." Quinn gets up out of her seat and walks round to Rachel's chair and holds her hand out for the smaller girl. "How chivalrous." Rachel comments.
"Come on angel. Lets get going." Quinn leaves the change on the table, having already counted up how much it was going to be in her head, before tucking her hand into Rachel's and entwining their fingers together. She opens the door wide for Rachel who walks through and waits for Quinn to catch up. Quinn squeezes her hand before making the trek down the sidewalk on the way to her apartment.
"Are we seriously going to walk when I'm in 4 inch heels." Quinn chuckles.
"Yeah we are. I sort of chose this place for a reason." After about 5 more minutes of walking, Quinn stops and looks up at the apartment building. "Home sweet home."
"Oh so I see, just a quick way to get me back to your place then?"
"Hell yeah." Quinn swallows and steps into Rachel's personal space. "Come up. Please. We don't have to do anything, I just don't want this night to end."
Rachel smiles and leans forward and brings their lips together. "I love you Quinn."
"I love you too Rae. So much."
"Lets go up." Rachel takes Quinn's hand and the other girl directs the way up to her room and their future together.
Please review. Thank you to Cappsy, I have written what you wanted to look at within a What If story, I am now just proof reading and polishing it off before I post it.
