She kissed the diva's forehead. "You're up early" she whispered.
Rachel chewed her cereal before looking up at Quinn with wide eyes. "Shit Quinn, you looked so sweet and I was going to wake you after my shower but I got caught up in funny girl" she trailed off.
Quinn sighed. "What time is it?" she asked.
Rachel squinted her eyes and gave Quinn a puppy dog smile. "6:30" she said.
Quinn's arms flew up in the air before she spun on her heel and raced up the stairs.
The blond surprisingly got ready in record time, she was downstairs, showered, hair braided, dressed and ready to go by 6:55.
Rachel smiled at her girlfriend as she approached, but Quinn glared at her. "You're not getting any for a week" she muttered.
"So not fair" Rachel whispered.
"Just think, if you had woke me up when you got up you could be having a great time tonight" she said smiling.
"I hate you" Rachel mumbled.
"love you too baby" Quinn said winking, but she sighed when Rachel pouted her bottom lip.
"You're lucky I can't stay mad at you for long" she announced.
Once Quinn got to work she noticed Susie standing by the door of their office, two cameras in hand. She slowly walked over to her desk and sat down. But when she noticed Susie wasn't budging she groaned. "Again?" she asked.
She nodded and handed Quinn a camera. "Okay but If you make me take a million pictures of people walking again, I'm running away" she warned.
Susie rolled her eyes. "Fine".
When Rachel got to work she noticed Jesse standing by the door with a coffee in his hand. She gave him a friendly wave as she approached him. "Good morning" he said handing her a coffee.
"medium double double" he added.
Rachel's mouth fell open. "How did you know my coffee order?" she asked.
He pointed to Tina.
"Of course" she whispered.
"look, I know you're not really ready to let me back into your life, but at least let me try and be your friend" he whispered, something in his eyes flashing.
Rachel thought about it, she thought about everything he did to her, the nasty names, the pressure, the eggs, and then breaking her heart, but then Quinn popped into her mind, she had let Quinn back in and she ended up more changed then anyone Rachel ever knew.
"Okay" she whispered back.
His eyes widened before a smile broke out on his face. "Seriously?" he asked.
Rachel nodded. "Now tell me about all these boys you're dating" she said smiling.
He snorted. "Shall I pull out my list?"
As Quinn and Susie walked down the street, Quinn noticed Rachel's building. She walked over and peeked in the window, not seeing the diva anywhere. She let out a huff and continued walking down the sidewalk.
"What was that all about?" Susie asked.
"It is very tempting, knowing my girlfriend is in that building right now and I can't have her" she said frowning.
The taller girl looked at the ground then furrowed her brows. "Do you love her?" she asked.
Quinn flushed at the question then lifted her gaze to the women in front of her. "More than anyone could ever possibly know" she whispered.
The blond automatically began thinking desperately about Rachel. She wanted to be with her right now more than ever, she needed her.
"Have you ever thought about-" but before Susie could finish, Quinn was running down the street.
Rachel just finished practicing her scene when she realized Tina looking frustrated in the corner.
She walked over and looked at her friend concerned. "what's up?" she asked.
Tina looked at her frowning. "Artie's in town, he just updated his status" she said holding up her blackberry to Rachel's face.
Rachel raised an eyebrow. "I don't get you and your twitter/face book obsessions" she said.
Tina smirked. "It's a great way to see what your friends are doing without being a creep" she announced.
Rachel smiled. "There's only one person who I would actually care about knowing what she's doing but she lives in my apartment, so I don't think I need those" she said winking.
"and you're better off without him Tina, he broke up with you, therefore you will find someone better and update your relationship status" she insisted.
Rachel was suddenly being pulled into a hug by her Asian friend. "Go home" she whispered in Rachel's ear.
"What?" Rachel asked, confused.
"I said go home, its 7:30 and your girlfriends waiting" she said happily.
Once Rachel got home, she opened the door to un expected darkness, well not complete darkness the small light in the kitchen was on. She put her coat and purse away before she began walking.
She got into the living room, and could sort of see everything better, seeing as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. The diva looked around the room before she saw red at the corner of her eye.
She walked up to the coffee table where a red rose was lying. She picked it up and smiled, as well as picking up the piece of paper beside it.
Meet me in the bedroom there's something I want to show you.
-Quinn.
Rachel held in her laugh. Was this some sort of lame excuse for Quinn to get some?
She slowly walked down the hallway before finding their bedroom door shut tight, as she was fully intended on finding Quinn naked wearing her argyle sweater or something. She bit her lip and pushed open the door.
The diva hardly recognized the candles that were placed on the tables, shelves and even the floor, or the flower pedals that were loosely trailed along the floor.
Instead her eyes fixed on the girl standing in the middle of the room, hands behind her back, smiling shyly. The blond was wearing a long champagne colour dress that was lightly sprinkled with sparkles. She looked stunning.
Rachel felt mesmerized.
"Quinn I swear to god if you are trying to get laid" Rachel warned.
Quinn shook her head, and put her hand out. Rachel stepped forward and took the trembling girls hand in her own.
Before Rachel knew what was going on, Quinn had taken a blue velvet box off the bed and now fiddled with it in her right hand.
Rachel eyes opened wide. "Quinn..." she began to protest but Quinn raised her hand.
"Just let me speak" Quinn whispered and all Rachel could do was nod.
"Rachel I know this has been hard, I know everything has been so difficult but I just want you to know how much you mean to me/ I care about you much more then you even know, Rachel I was just settling for Puck and I fully understand now because I never knew how good love felt until I felt it with you, and I have never felt so out of my mind in my whole life" She confessed.
"Quinn..." Rachel began but was silenced by Quinn again.
"I promise to be there for everything, I promise to be there when your sad, or when you're on one of your mad lasagna hunger rampages, I promise to be there when your inner diva gets hold of you, and I promise to be there when you just want to be held, I will never let anything happen to you" Quinn stated.
"Quinn..." Rachel whispered but rolled her eyes when Quinn raised her hand once again.
"I never thought that one day, I'd be asking this question let alone to Rachel Berry, but you know what? I am and I don't care who knows about it" she whispered.
Rachel felt the taste of metalic in her mouth before she realized it was blood as she chewed on her bottom lip.
"Rachel" Quinn whispered as she knelt down on one knee. The diva bit her lip harder and nodded.
Quinn felt herself shaking like a mad women and took a hold of Rachel's hand with her free hand that wasn't holding the ring.
"Rachel Barbra Berry" she said, stopping and taking a deep breath before she began again. "W-will you marry me?" She stuttered out all in one breath.
The diva didn't smile, didn't frown just stared as a tear fell from her eye.
"Quinn..." she muttered.
The blond's eyes locked with hers and she felt her stomach fill with heat. "Yes?" she asked.
"Yes" Rachel whispered, in a mocking tone.
"What?" Quinn asked.
"Hell yes" Rachel whispered so lightly that Quinn was barely able to hear.
Quinn felt like Brittany, she was completely confused at this point. "Wait what?" she asked again.
Rachel dropped to both of her knees in front of Quinn.
"I said hell yes, I'll marry you" she whispered before taking the blond's lips in hers.
Rachel rolled around on the bed and turned to Quinn. "This is beautiful" Rachel said as she twirled the ring around her finger.
"I knew you'd like it" Quinn stated rolling over, flashing Rachel a cocky grin.
"Is it impossible to be so friggen in love with you right now?" the blond asked.
Rachel shook her head. "Not impossible, because I'm also insanely in love with you right now too" she said smiling.
Quinn smiled and kissed her, but was nearly head butted when Rachel shot out of bed, eyes wide.
The blond panicked." what's wrong?" she asked.
Rachel pulled out a pen and notepad from her droor and began writing furiously. "What are you doing?" Quinn asked.
Rachel bit her tongue and ignored the blond. Quinn cleared her throat which caused Rachel to snap out of her trance and glance at the blond.
"oh sorry Quinn, I'm just writing everyone's names down that I'm about to call and inform on our news" she announced.
Quinn slid out of bed and put her arms around the diva from behind.
"Not until you have dinner with me" she said smiling.
Rachel kissed her nose. "Oh sure Quinn, where are we going?" she asked.
Quinn put her hands over Rachel's eyes. "You'll see".
