AN: Hi here is chapter 6! :) If it's in italics its Jeff's thoughts and if it's bold and italics it's Quinn's thoughts! :D Also: Quinn never dated Sam therefore she never cheated on him with Finn, ok here:
It was Christmas Eve of Quinn and Jeff's junior year. They were sitting at the dinner table, waiting for Quinn's mom to serve dinner. Lexi was spending Christmas Eve with them this year. She was sitting next to Jeff, and Jeff was sitting across from Quinn. Quinn had lost all of her baby weight and was wearing a dress Jeff got her for her birthday before she was pregnant. Her hair was in curls, and Jeff couldn't take his eyes off of her. Quinn gave Jeff a weird look, and Jeff snapped back to reality. Quinn started asking Lexi questions about her school; Jeff half-listened to them.
Quinn looks so pretty. Wait- Jeff! What are you thinking? Quinn's your best friend! And you've been dating Lexi for two years!
"Don't you agree, Jeff?" Lexi asked him, patting his leg.
"Um, what?" Jeff said, intertwining his fingers with Lexi's.
"She was just telling me about how she wishes the Dalton and Crawford students could share dorms," Quinn said, smiling at Jeff.
Jeff got a strange flutter in his stomach when Quinn smiled at him. He ignored it as Quinn's mom brought the food to the table and asked for everyone else to come and sit. They ate their dinner in silence, mostly; with just a few small talk conversations. The families were going to wait until Christmas Day to open their presents.
Quinn's mom turned on some Christmas music as she cleaned up the table. All I Want for Christmas came on, and Quinn immediately started singing. Jeff smiled and offered his hand to Quinn. Lexi had a broken leg, so she wouldn't be able to dance with him. Quinn stood up and Jeff led her to the living room. They exaggeratedly danced to the song, with many twirls and dips. Lexi had a very fake smile on her face. The song ended, and Quinn and Jeff walked back to their seats. Lexi whispered in Jeff's ear,
"Can you take me home now?" It was only 8:00, but Lexi looked tired so Jeff told everyone he was taking her home. Lexi said her goodbyes to everyone except Quinn, who she just looked at coldly.
What was that all about?
…
It was about a thirty minute drive to Lexi's parents' house. She was silent the whole car ride, and Jeff became worried,
"Babe, what's wrong?"
"You're in love with Quinn," she mumbled. Jeff almost ran a stop sign and quickly stepped on the brakes.
"What? Where would you get an idea like that? I love you!" he said.
"You may love me… but you're in love with Quinn," Lexi said, "I saw the way you looked at her. You never look at me like that, Jeff." Jeff was speechless as he pulled up to Lexi's house.
"Jeff, it's ok. All I care about is that you're happy, and I know Quinn is what will make you most happy. I'll find someone else," Lexi said, squeezing Jeff's hand. She walked out of Jeff's car, wiping away the few tears that had formed in her eyes. Jeff sat in his car for a few minutes before finally driving back to Quinn's.
…
Quinn and Jeff's moms were going out for some last minutes Christmas shopping and Jeff's dad had gone home to bed. Quinn's dad was watching TV in his room. Quinn was sitting on the floor in her room watching Frosty the Snowman. She was wearing snowflake pajamas and one of Jeff's old shirts she used to wear when he first went to Dalton. Jeff knocked on her door before she shouted,
"Come in!" Jeff walked in, closed the door, and sat on the floor next to Quinn. She paused the movie and looked up at him.
"Lexi broke up with me," Jeff told her.
"Aww, does Jeffie need a hug?" Quinn asked him. Jeff shook his head yes. Quinn crawled over and sat on his lap before wrapping her arms around his neck. Jeff wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. They stayed hugging like that for a few moments before Quinn pulled back; Jeff sighed. Jeff placed her hair behind her ears and looked into her eyes. Then all of the sudden, Quinn was lying on top of him, kissing him. They hadn't kissed in four years, so there was a lot of sexual tension building up to this moment. Jeff responded to the kiss and before either of them knew what was happening, they were on Quinn's bed.
…
Quinn woke up the next morning from a text. She didn't read the text; she was too busy freaking out at Jeff lying naked next to her. She quickly jumped out of bed and put her pajamas back on before crawling in next to Jeff. She brought Jeff's boxers on the bed with her and woke Jeff up. He smiled at her before putting his boxers on.
Oh my God, last night really happened.
Quinn pretended not to notice, and looked out her window.
"Jeffie! It's Christmas!" Quinn said, jumping off of her bed and walking around to bring Jeff down also. She gave him the rest of his clothes and he quickly put them on. They were about to walk downstairs when Jeff stopped her,
"So do you want to talk about last night?"
"Later," Quinn said, as they walked downstairs, hand in hand.
AN: So how was it? Review! Byeee! :)
