When I wrote the first part, I had an idea what I wanted to build into this story, but I hadn't exactly a storyline. But the muse hit me and here it is. This is like a filler and in the other chapter is the more smutty part. Dedicated to my girl Nina, who also read it over and made it better :)
Quinn stirred, when the coolness of the room hit her chest. She opened her eyes confused and remembered in that moment, where she was. In Rachel's bed. Quinn had comforted the girl because the tiny singer was on her period, she didn't feel well and was in pain. The blonde turned and saw light under the bathroom door. A quick glance at the clock told her that it was only 4 am. Few minutes later Rachel crawled back into the bed and noticed that the blonde was awake.
"Have I woken you up?", she whispered unsure. "I'm sorry, I-"
"It's okay, Rachel. How are you feeling? Is it better?", Quinn asked concerned with a small voice and trailed her hand over the other girls arm.
"It's okay, Quinn. Can…ehm…can we snuggle again? I mean, the heat makes it better.", Rachel blushed, but Quinn was oblivious to it in the dark room.
"Sure.", Quinn said smiling.
The tiny singer lay her head on the blonde's shoulder and Quinn embraced her tightly with one arm.
"Try to sleep a little more.", Quinn whispered and massaged her lower back with her hand in slow circles. Rachel relaxed and her breath evened out. Quinn fell into a light slumber, but never stopped stroking Rachel's back.
At 6am sharp the awful sound of Rachel's alarm went off. Quinn hit it with a frustrated groan. She looked at Rachel in her arm, after it was finally switched off and the smaller girl looked at her.
"Normally I would get up now and do my workout, but…", she looked down to Quinn's arm embracing her firmly. It felt just right.
"I wish I could stay in your arms forever.", their eyes met again and they smiled at each other. As if by a magnetic force, their lips were drawn together and met halfway and Quinn cupped the brunettes face with her hand. Their lips were lazily pressed together, till Quinn darted out her tongue and Rachel willingly let it slip into her mouth. The kiss got heavier, the small singer was now almost lying on top of the cheerleader.
They pulled apart to catch their breath and the blonde put a few loose strands of Rachel's locks behind her ear.
"I really think your hair looks nice when it's a bit messy.", giggled the brunette. "You are so pretty. Perfect." The last word was whispered and almost inaudible, but Quinn caught it anyway.
"You're beautiful. In and out. I have just…a nice exterior, but I am a horrible person. I'm still so sorry for pushing you around and making fun of you."
Quinn's face showed regret, but Rachel shook her head slightly.
"As I said, I forgive you. I understand your motives and I forgive you. You deserve a second chance and I appreciate it a lot that you helped me out yesterday." She smiled at the girl underneath her and laid her head back on Quinn's chest.
"So what's the plan now?", Rachel asked and played with Quinn's fingers on her stomach.
"I need a shower, if that is ok. I don't think I can't make it home before school. Maybe I can borrow some underwear from you. I'll drive us to school and-", she stopped, clearly not knowing what to say.
"What about us? I mean…", Rachel was unsure if she was already running into something, that wasn't anything at all.
"Rach, we will figure it out eventually. Let's take it slow and see where we go from here. Please don't take it the wrong way, but I can't walk down the hall with your hand in mine just now. You know I like you a lot and I will let people know when I'm ready, when I know if we are something, but till then…"
"Okay", Rachel agreed with a soft voice and kissed the top of Quinn's hand. "Maybe we should get up. I'll take my dads' bathroom down the hall, you can use mine. Towels are in the cupboard by the sink. I'll give you some fresh panties.", she grinned and got up. Her face showed discomfort, when she stood up. Quinn saw it, but didn't comment on it. The singer gave her some underwear from the drawer and left her alone.
About twenty minutes later the cheerio walked down the stairs and noticed a plate with fresh roasted toast on the kitchen table. "It's nothing fancy, but I thought maybe, you'd like to eat something before school. We still have some time, before we have to go.", Rachel had walked around the table and her hand grazed Quinn's as she approached the blonde.
"Thanks", Quinn smiled at her and sat down. "So much luck, that Coach Sylvester is on a seminar for a week and we can skip the training as long as nobody is ratting us out, but I think the squad knows what's good for it."
Quinn told a few stories about Miss Sylvester's training methods and Rachel listened in awe and horror, while nibbling on her toast. They both finished their coffee and drove off to school.
Their ways separated after they left the car. Quinn met up with Santana and Brittany, and Rachel met Kurt right at the door as he arrived at the same time.
Meet you at lunch? - Quinn
Rachel's phone buzzed in the last break before lunch. Quinn knew, she wouldn't have liked it, when she texted in class.
Meet me in the auditorium. I miss you already. - R*
Rachel's heart was racing with that text. She was unsure, if it was alright to be so forward, but it was the truth. She missed Quinn's warmth around her and her soft hands touching her. The ache in her lower abdomen was back, not as severe as the day before, but she felt uncomfortable and uneasy.
Quinn smiled at the received text. Her stomach fluttered and her fingers tingled. She missed the small brunette too.
One hour later, Quinn entered the empty auditorium. When the door met its frame, Rachel shot up from her seat in the first row. The blonde went down the stairs with fast steps. She couldn't wait to have Rachel in her arms.
"Hi", she smiled and hugged the small girl. Rachel was grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Sit down.", Rachel pointed onto the seat next to her backpack. Quinn did what she was told and Rachel stood in front of her, biting her lip.
She blushed and couldn't bring out, what she wanted to say. The cheerio looked up with a curious smile.
"Rach, what is it?", she brought their hands together.
"Would you mind if I sat on your lap?", she whispered. "The pain is back and I thought it would help…"
Quinn pulled her onto her muscular thighs and interrupted the stammering brunette. Her hands snug around Rachel's waist and laid down over her belly while Quinn's head rested on her shoulder.
"Better?", she softly asked directly in Rachel's ear.
"Yes.", the brunette breathed out. "Thank you." She smiled to the girl underneath her.
"I brought something for lunch. We can share.", she leaned over to her backpack and took two boxes of fruit out.
Quinn began rubbing her hands over the material of Rachel's sweater and the tiny brunette fed her girl pieces of fruits, while relaxing in her arms. She already felt better. They enjoyed each other's company, till the bell rang and they had to leave for class.
"So glad it's Friday. I'm really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.", Rachel said relieved as they made their way up the stairs. Right before she opened the door, Quinn stopped her.
A blush made itself known on the blonde's cheeks. "I- eh I wanted to ask you something." Rachel looked at her with curiosity. Quinn's heart was beating hard in her chest and she swore Rachel could hear it.
"Yes?", Rachel's eyebrow wandered up her forehead and her eyes sparkled in the dim light.
"Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?", Quinn whispered and waited hopefully.
"Yes, Quinn. I would love that.", she bridged the distance between them and pecked Quinn's lips with hers.
With no other word she left a grinning Quinn behind the door.
Friday flew by for the two girls. Occasionally they texted each other something along the lines of I miss you, but they didn't talk. Saturday came and Rachel became nervous, what to wear for her first date with one Quinn Fabray. She skipped the vocal lesson before her ballet-class to go shopping instead and she found the perfect dress.
Quinn became uneasy too and started pacing up and down her room. She had already made a reservation at Breadstix the day before. She picked out a nice light green dress that complimented her eyes well.
The look to the clock revealed that it was just three hours till she would drive over and take Rachel on her date. The thought of Rachel made her smile and feel like there were bats in her stomach.
She felt relieved after she had told the other girl about her feelings and could apologize. It was a bonus that Rachel reciprocated her feelings and this time Quinn wouldn't screw it up under any circumstances. Their date should be perfect.
Quinn stood in front of the Berry house at 7pm sharp. Rachel came out after a soft knock and they walked hand in hand to the nearby restaurant.
They looked around, but found none of their class-mates so they could still be flirty.
Rachel told about her ballet-class and Quinn added some stories about cheerleading. They laughed and in between they just said nothing, but the silence wasn't awkward. They smiled at each other and started talking, when a new topic came into their heads.
On their way back, they walked through the park and paused at the play ground.
"Do you wanna…?", Quinn pointed to the swing. Rachel grinned and nodded. She ran over like a little kid and sat on it.
Quinn came after her and swung her. Both looked up to the moon that shone very bright this night. Rachel squealed in delight and Quinn laughed with her. After a few minutes she stopped pushing Rachel.
"My arms are not build to do this all night, Rach.", Quinn whined overly dramatic.
"Poor baby.", Rachel rubbed her hands over the blondes shoulders, then let them trail around her neck and their lips met in a lazy kiss. Rachel nibbled on Quinn's bottom lip, and the blonde let out a guttural moan.
"Maybe we should get back home, I think it's not really save here at this time."
Quinn nodded in a haze. Her lips tingled in anticipation of more kisses.
"Are your dads home?", Quinn asked nervously.
"No, they come back next week. It's their yearly trip, like a second honeymoon, just that they do this every year to have time alone."
Rachel grinned and took Quinn's hand back into hers. The touch between them was magical and Quinn's stomach fluttered nervously. With sparkling eyes she turned around to the smaller girl and asked her, what she wanted to ask, since she woke up the day before, with Rachel in her arms: "Rachel, will you be my girlfriend?"
The brunette was speechless for a moment, but caught herself and threw her arms around Quinn's neck. She peppered the taller girl with kisses over her mouth and nose and whispered over and over: "Yes!"
The rest of the evening was spent in comfortable talk, watching a movie and cuddling with the occasional make-out session. Rent was playing on the TV and Rachel was snuggled in Quinn's arms. Their spooning was already natural to them. Quinn's hand rested on the smaller girl's stomach under the shirt and drew small patterns over the skin, which made Rachel giggle 'cause she was rather ticklish. A blanket was over their legs, because it got chilly as time went by and they were still in their skirt and dress. Eventually Rachel fell asleep, with Quinn making small butterfly-kisses over her neck and shoulders and Quinn followed her shortly after. The TV was forgotten.
