"I want you to sing for me" Rachel repeated.
Quinn pulled away from Rachel, suddenly feeling very nervous. "Rach, I haven't sung for anyone since high school" She replied.
Rachel furrowed her brows. "You and Puck never sang?" She asked.
Quinn shook her head.
"Well I want you to sing for me, you have a beautiful voice" Rachel told her.
Quinn pulled Rachel, so that they were both lying on the bed. "You don't want to hear me sing" she insisted.
Rachel nodded. "Yes I do" she whispered.
"no you don't" Quinn argued.
Rachel nodded again. "Quinn I want to hear you sing" she demanded.
Quinn sighed." Fine but only because you won't stop bugging me until I do" she told her.
Rachel beamed and kissed her forehead. Quinn sat up on the bed and grossed her legs, staring at the diva.
"Well are you going to sing?" Rachel asked, as she pursued her lips.
Quinn closed her eyes as tight as she could and began to sing.
It's her hair and her eyes today That just simply takes me away And the feeling that I'm falling further in love Makes me shiver but in a good way
All the times I have sat and stared As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair And she purses her lips, bats her eyes and she plays, With me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
'Cause I love her with all that I am And my voice shakes along with my hands Cause she's all that I see and she's all that I need And I'm out of my league once again
It's a masterful melody when she calls out my name to me As the world spins around her she laughs, Rolls her eyes and I feel like I'm falling But it's no surprise
'Cause I love her with all that I am And my voice shakes along with my hands 'Cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
But I'd rather be here than on land Yes she's all that I see and she's all that I need And I'm out of my league once again.
It's her hair and her eyes today That just simply takes me away And the feeling that I m falling further in love makes me shiver, but in a good way
All the times I have sat and stared As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair As he purses her lips, bats her eyes And she plays with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
'Cause I love her with all that I am And my voice shakes along with my hands 'Cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
But I'd rather be here than on land Yes she's all that I see and she's all that I need And I'm out of my league once again
Once Quinn finished the song she slowly opened her eyes to find Rachel staring at her.
"I'm expecting you to tell me I was flat or too sharp" Quinn told her, but to her surprise the small diva flung herself into Quinn's arms.
"Quinn that was so amazing" she whispered.
The blond was dumbfounded. "Seriously?" she asked.
Rachel nodded and kissed her. T"hat was perfect, you're perfect" she gushed.
Quinn pulled her into a deep kiss, laying them back on the bed.
When they broke apart Quinn looked Rachel in the eyes. "You're adorable" she told her.
Rachel gave her a shy smile. "well your sexy" she replied.
Quinn raised her eyebrows." Oh were playing this game now?" she asked.
Rachel nodded before diving in for a kiss.
The day went the exact same as it had the day before, both girls showered and got ready and were out the door by 6:50am.
Rachel and Quinn stood outfront of Quinn's work once again." Don't go" Rachel whispered just as she had the day before.
Quinn smiled and pulled Rachel's face to her own. "I'll try and get out early, to come pay you a little visit again" she muttered against the diva's soft lips.
Rachel beamed." I'll be waiting" she whispered.
"Have a good day" Quinn told her.
Rachel pulled away so she could get a better look at her girlfriend. "I love you Quinn" she told her.
A smile spread across the blond's face." I love you too" she responded.
Both girls waited for Quinn to leave but neither of them moved. "Are we going to do this every day?" Quinn asked.
Rachel smiled. "I hope so, because then I'll get to see you even longer" Rachel told her, then leaned in for another kiss.
"You kill me Rachel Berry" Quinn whispered.
"I hope that's a good thing" Rachel replied, kinking her eyebrow.
"oh it is" Quinn responded.
Rachel pulled her into one last kiss. "I'll miss you" she told her.
Quinn frowned. "I miss you already" she confessed.
Rachel pulled away and shook her head. "Okay enough, if we keep this up, I'll be standing outside of this building all day" she announced.
Quinn raised her eyebrows. "Is that such a bad thing?" she asked smiling.
Rachel kissed her nose. "If I want to keep my job, then yes" she said.
"I'll see you tonight" Quinn told her, unlinking their fingers.
"Bye" Rachel whispered and gave Quinn one of her signature smiles.
When Rachel got to work, she collapsed onto an empty seat with a huff. Tina made her way over to the diva.
"Hey Rach" she said beaming.
Rachel returned the smile. "Hey" she replied.
"C'mon, everyone's over there" she announced pointing to the small group of people in the corner.
Rachel nodded and stood up.
Tina gave her another soft smile. "Are you okay?" she asked.
Rachel nodded. "Long night" she said smiling.
Tina shook her head." I don't want to know" she muttered.
As they got close to the group, the door opened.
Both girls turned around and Rachel let out a tiny gasp. Tina's eyes widened. "Holy shit" she said.
Rachel bit her lip. "It can't be" she whispered.
The boy strolled up to the two wide eyed girls. Rachel took in the sight of him, he had gotten somewhat taller and his brown curly hair fell lazily over his forehead. His smiling face looked the exact same as it did when she saw him last. 8 years ago.
He smirked at them." Well if it isn't Rachel Berry and Tina Cohen-Chang" he said cockily.
"What are you doing here?" Rachel asked, lifting her head to meet his gaze.
"Never thought I'd see you in anything other than an argyle sweater and skirt" he announced, taking in her- well Quinn's floral dress.
She didn't return his smile. "What are you doing here Jesse?" she asked.
He frowned. "you don't seem to happy to see me" he replied.
Rachel chuckled. "Well the last time I talked to you, was while you were crushing an egg over my head" she spat.
He winced a little. "Well it was for the best, who would have thought you'd end up in the same play as me?" he asked.
Rachel's mouth dropped open." You're in spring awakening? I didn't see your name on the list" she yelled.
He smiled. "Well your little male lead Josh dropped out, so of course I got the call" he said.
Rachel's heart pounded into her chest. "You're the male lead?" she managed.
He nodded.
Rachel groaned. This day could not get any worse.
Quinn sank farther into her chair. This day could not get any worse, she thought to herself as she fumbled with the settings on her new camera.
Susie turned around, obviously noticing her struggling. "Need some help?" she asked.
Quinn nodded. "I can't figure out how to change the shutter speed" she whined.
Susie snorted. "All you have to do is put it to manual and fiddle with the keys until you get to 1/60th" she said.
Quinn nodded, and let her head fill with thoughts.
She hadn't even noticed she was blanking out until Susie's fingers were snapping in front of her.
"what are you thinking about?" she asked.
"Nothing important" Quinn lied.
Truthfully she couldn't get her mind off Rachel. How she wanted to spend every minute with the diva, how she wanted to eagerly kiss those perfect plump lips, how she loved the way Rachel's eyes sparkled when she touched her. Quinn wanted to spend the rest of her life with that girl, she truly did.
Rachel continued to shoot daggers with her eyes at Jesse as she had been for the past 4 hours. He didn't glare back, he usually just stared but this time he gave her a small smile.
The diva felt some sort of guilt but it was quickly overtaken by anger.
"LUNCH" one of the men called and Rachel stood up, making her way towards Tina and everyone else.
A hand gripped her arm and spun her around. "Take a walk with me" Jesse said smiling.
Rachel rolled her eyes and shook her head.
He kinked his eyebrow. "It wasn't a question" he announced before walking away.
Rachel knew she should ignore him, but she couldn't before she knew what she was doing she was falling him towards the big exit.
Once they got outside Jesse turned around, so that he was standing in front of her. "I never meant to hurt you" he told her.
The diva actually laughed. "and you call yourself an actor" she muttered.
He put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm being serious Rachel, I never wanted to throw that egg on you but they made me" he pleaded.
Rachel glared at him. " you know I had dreams for 2 week about all those poor baby chicken's mothers coming after me and pecking my eyes out" she yelled.
Jesse tried to hold back a laugh." Good to see your inner diva's still in there" he said winking.
Rachel internally kicked herself when she felt herself smile aswell.
" Look Rachel, it all started out as Shelby's little tricks she wanted me to get close to you so she could, but I actually fell for your little Berry charm, until I saw you with Finn, I knew you loved him and I bet you still do, he's a lucky guy" he told her.
Rachel bit her lip. "I'm not with Finn" she told him.
He furrowed his brows.
"I'm dating Quinn Fabray" she announced taking a deep breath.
His eyebrows slowly softened and his eyes widened.
Quinn walked down the street side by side with Susie. "Okay now take a picture of that moving car" she instructed.
They walked slowly but Quinn suddenly came to a halt.
"What's wrong?" Susie asked.
Quinn's eyes fixed on the two figures across the street. Her girlfriend was leaning against the wall, while none other than the boy version of the diva was standing beside her.
Jesse St. James.
When Rachel got home, she hummed as she set her purse on the little table that was beside their front door.
She walked into the living room to see Quinn sitting on the couch glaring at her.
"Sit now" Quinn demanded.
Rachel furrowed her brows. "nice to see you too, my darling girlfriend" she muttered sarcastically.
Quinn's face immediately softened when she felt Rachel's leg touch hers. "Is there anything you want to tell me?" she asked.
Rachel looked at her suspiciously. "No" she replied.
Quinn rolled her eyes. "I can tell when you lie Rachel, I'm not Brittany" she announced.
Rachel shook her head.
"Then tell me what the hell you were doing talking to Jesse St. James" she said frustrated.
Rachel smiled. "Were you spying on me?" she asked.
Quinn snorted." no, but maybe I should since you ve been sneaking around with your ex boyfriend, who might as well be the biggest dick in the world" Quinn yelled.
"he's in the play Quinn, and besides he apologized for everything" she said smiling.
Quinn wasn't buying it. "He threw eggs on you"she mumbled.
"yeah and you threw slushies on me at least 100 times, and called me man hands" she scoffed.
Quinn frowned and brought Rachel's hand up to her mouth, kissing each finger. "You do not have man hands, trust me" she whispered.
Rachel frowned.
"I just don't want to lose you" Quinn replied.
Rachel shook her head. "I told him I was with you" she answered.
"That doesn't mean he won t try anything" she said furiously but Rachel put a finger to her mouth.
"He also told me he was gay" she announced.
Quinn pulled away and her mouth dropped open.
"that does make me feel better although I was not expecting that" she responded.
Rachel giggled." he said the exact same thing about you, when I told him you were who I was with" she said.
Quinn pulled the diva against her." Promise you won't get hurt?" she asked.
Rachel smiled. "I promise, but just in case, protect me?" she asked, just as she had a few weeks ago.
Quinn kissed her lips. "You know I always will".
