She glanced at the clock. 7:00 AM.
She was about to jump out of bed to go for a run along the beach, but memories from just a few hours back flooded her mind.
The brunette stopped dead where she was sitting and her gaze immediately fell to Quinn.
The blond was curled up beside her, her head halfway under the pillow, while her limbs were tangled in the sheets.
She stood up and looked in the mirror, unable to wipe the smile from her face.
She had a plan.
Quinn didn't need to open her eyes to know that she had scorching hot sun beating down on her porcelain skin.
"Rach, why in the hell did you leave the curtains open?" she mumbled.
She was pretty sure she was going to get sunburn if she stayed in the spot any longer so when she got no reply, she rolled to the other side of the bed.
When she opened her eyes this time, she was greeted with a piece of paper, poking her in the nose.
She bit her lip and tried to hide the nervousness that had just overtaken her stomach.
The last time she had gotten a note from Rachel, it was after she had just left her and went back to New York.
Rachel would never do that to her again, would she?
She slowly opened the folded paper, and let her eyes travel along the neat writing.
Angel,
Don't panic, I assure you this is not another goodbye note. I am so sorry for leaving the curtains open but you and I both know, if I didn't then you would never get up. So get your cute blond butt up, get dressed, and find my next note.
Love,
Rachel.
Quinn read the letter again, as the tips of her lips pulled up. Rachel never failed to make her smile.
She rolled over and looked at the clock.
8:30 AM.
First, she gets awoken at 2:30 in the morning, while Rachel has her little crazy moment, and now she has to get up at 8:30?
Quinn slowly stood up, and got dressed.
She pulled her blond hair into a side braid, and pinned her bangs back, giving them a bit of a poof.
She put on her favourite floral sundress, and slipped out of the room.
Now she had to find the note.
The blond let her eyes cover every centimetre of the house as she walked.
After searching for a good 5 minutes, there was only one last place where this lost note could be.
Surely enough she walked into the kitchen and moved straight to the table, where there was the note sitting right in the middle.
What surprised her the most, was the bouquet of flowers that lye beside it.
She walked over and lifted the note, which on the front had a big heart on it.
Lifting the flaps, she read.
I bet this was the last place you looked wasn't it? Yes! I am correct. Anyway, I'm sure you have your little cute white floral dress on that I love so much, and that adorable little side braid, so I would greatly appreciate not to have to wait for you any longer. I have a surprise for you, I'm waiting outside.
I love you, Angel.
Ps. the flowers. I will love you until the last one dies.
Quinn furrowed her brows, and slowly picked up the bouquet, examining the white roses one by one.
Of course Rachel would remember that those were her favourite kind of roses.
She slowly lifted the last rose to her nose, inhaling deeply. There was something different.
She played with it in between her fingers, before a huge grin overtook her face.
Finally she caught on.
'I will love you until the last one dies'.
The last one was fake.
Quinn definitely thought that was the most adorable thing that she had ever seen, but she also couldn't help laughing at how extremely cheesy it was.
She quickly hurried to put the flowers in a vase, with the exception of the fake on which she put on her bedside table, along with the notes.
Once she got outside, she found Rachel sitting in the sand staring out at the ocean.
Her brown hair was tied back in a pony tail with a few pieces falling around her face, which Quinn had only seen a couple of times and she loved it.
She loved how it showed off the frame of Rachel's beautiful face, and how full her cheekbones were.
Also she wore a dark blue sundress that Quinn had convinced her to buy after about 2 hours of shopping a few months back.
Quinn snuck up behind the diva, and sat down, hugging her from behind.
Rachel was startled at first, but when she felt Quinn's arms around her she relaxed.
The brunette turned her head slightly, and flashed Quinn a smile.
"Morning sweetie, ah I see I was right as always" she said, her eyes moving from Quinn's dress to her braided hair.
Quinn smiled and nodded. "Am I that predictable?" she asked.
Rachel leaned over until she was right in Quinn's face.
"Nope, I just know you far too well" she whispered.
Quinn smiled, and connected their lips, not wanting to pull apart.
"That you do".
They both sat in silence for a few moments before Rachel started talking.
"Last night was.."
"Amazing" Quinn finished off.
Rachel nodded her head up and down at least 100 times. "Yes" she breathed.
Quinn kissed her nose, making the brunette blush, and beam.
"I never ever thought I would end up having sex on the beach" The diva announced, winking.
Quinn bit her tongue.
"No wonder they named a drink after it" she stated.
Rachel cracked up. "Well maybe next time we will have to bring some of that along with us" she said.
Quinn's eyebrows shot up. "Rachel, are you suggestion that we continue this rebellious streak and have sex on the beach again?" she asked, amused.
Rachel's face turned crimson.
"Well, I do still have you here for two more weeks, and I plan on taking full advantage of that" she announced.
Quinn's had a smile on her face from ear to ear.
"Fine by me".
"Rach?" Quinn called, as the diva pulled her farther.
"Yes?" she responded, not turning around.
Quinn took another step. "What could you possibly have in mind that consists of us having to climb up 20 huge rocks?" she asked.
Rachel let go of Quinn's hand so that she could push herself up another rock, which Quinn mimicked.
"You'll see" she cooed.
Quinn sighed but didn't push her.
Rachel had reached the top first, and put her hand out to Quinn, pulling the blond up with her.
Quinn had no idea how Rachel had been so energized by this, Quinn had been out of breath before they even reached the rocks.
As soon as her feet touched the final rock, she looked around and her eyes widened.
They were very high up from the ground, in the middle of nowhere, which had the most amazing view of the ocean she had ever seen in her entire life.
She slowly walked over to Rachel, who was now sitting and had her feet dangling off the side of the rock.
She sat down in the exact same position as the beach, and pulled Rachel closer to her, so the diva was in between her legs, and had her head against Quinn's chest.
"Rachel, this view is-" but before she could finish, Rachel's hand was to her mouth.
"Just watch" she whispered, and Quinn sighed and nodded.
She fallowed Rachel's gaze to the water.
They both watched in silence for at least 5 minutes until suddenly a figure emerged from the water.
It took Quinn a moment to realize what exactly it was.
Another surfaced, then another, followed by another, and soon there was tons of dolphins grazing through the water, leaving splashes of water behind.
Quinn gasped as she watched the amazement before her.
She felt tears form in her eyes, it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. besides Rachel of course.
After a few minutes the dolphins passed.
Rachel giggled and turned around the face Quinn, but she immediately frowned when she noticed the tears in the blond's eyes.
"Quinn what's wrong?" she asked, nervously.
The blond put a hand to her mouth.
"Rach how did you.." she trailed off.
The diva sighed, and pushed her dark brown locks behind her ear.
"Senior year, we were all in glee club and had asked us what our childhood dreams were. I remember you said that when you were six, your parents took you and your sister to Disney World. You begged and begged for the whole day to go see the dolphins, it was the one thing you were looking forward to for the whole trip, and when you finally went the dolphins were already passed." she whispered, not able to meet Quinn's eyes.
"I, I just wanted you to be able to experience that" she added, quietly.
Quinn opened her mouth to speak but noting came out, so she leaned over and kissed Rachel slowly, leaving the brunette breathless.
"Baby, that was the most romantic, beautiful, awesome, wonderful, incredible thing that anyone has ever done for me" She whispered, letting another tear fall down her face.
Rachel leaned over and kissed her again, but with more force this time.
Quinn was the one to break away first. "baby how did you remember that?" she asked.
Rachel frowned.
"You would be surprised at what I remember" she whispered.
Quinn smiled. "Try me".
Rachel turned and faced the water again.
"I remember, that you completely despise the fact that Puck's mother never let you near bacon, and how Puck would go on and on for endless hours about Super Mario Brothers. I remember how in the sixth grade, you wore these hideous blue gloves because you thought they would make you cool but the next day you took them off, after Santana compared you to a smurf in front of our whole class which ended in everyone laughing at you. I remember how you would stand in front of the bathroom mirror and before you would go to leave you would give yourself one last check, it wasn't very much of a ' look how hot I am' kind of look, but more of a ' who am I' kind of look. I remember how terrified you were when you found out you were pregnant, and not because you were afraid to give birth, or because of what people would say about you, but more of the fact that you had another life to look after, you were so scared that you wouldn't be able to give her what she needed, so you let her go. I remember how brave you were when you stood up to coach Sylvester, telling her that you learned so much more from us then you ever did from being in the cheerios. I remember how humiliated you were when Finn found out that he wasn't the father, you weren't upset that he knew, but you were more upset that you weren't the one to tell him, that you spent all that time convincing him he was the one, and letting it all go to waste. I remember how you use to hate it, how people looked at you. How they thought you were better than everyone else, but you would never admit it because you took advantage of what they thought about you because you grew up to believe that was the right thing to do, but you wanted so badly for it to not be true". Rachel whispered.
Quinn was shocked, her eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly open.
She slowly moved her hand to cup Rachel's cheek, lifting her head so that their eyes would meet.
When their eyes connected, Quinn felt a smile tug at her lips.
"Would it be extremely unrealistic of me right now, to say that I just completely fell in love with you all over again and more so then before?" she asked.
Rachel bit at the corner of her lip and shook her head. "I paid attention to you Quinn, I know you always thought you were going to be a Lima loser but you're not, and you never will be. You have people who love you and would never let you be alone" she whispered.
Quinn leaned forward and kissed her cheek, letting her lips linger, as she pulled away slowly.
"I could never ask for anything better".
Rachel tensed in her arms.
Quinn pulled away and let her brow drop. "Rach, what is it?" she asked.
Chocolate eyes met hazel.
"Quinn I think we need to have that talk now".
