Take Her From You Chapter 4
QPOV
"I'm in love with you" I whispered. I turned to see Santana and Kurt looking out their respective windows, happy that even if they could hear us they pretended not to.
Rachel gripped tightly on to the steering wheel and turned to me. "What did you just say?"
I pinched the bridge of my nose. I could try to explain this to her but she might not get it. I had to try.
"I don't know when, I don't know how but I'm in love with you. I know you're taken and that's killing me. I really want a chance to show you how I feel" Rachel shook her head.
"Of all the things in all the universe you had to tell me you're in love with me? Me?"
Rachel pulled over to the side of the road putting the car in park. She got out and walked away from me. I sighed getting out to see if we could talk about this. Santana and Kurt were whispering between one another and I scoffed ignoring them.
"Rachel please say something"
"You did not just say you love me Quinn, you said you are in love with me?" I watched her pace as cars flew past us. She stopped in front of me and stared at me. Confusion filled my face as she searched my eyes. I waited, holding my breath to see what was going to happen next. She stepped into me and placed her lips on mine.
The shock of the kiss made my body stiffen when she pulled away, walking away. "I can't do this"
"Why?" I asked
She looked at me incredulously "Are you serious? How about the fact that I have a boyfriend? Or maybe we could focus on the fact that you have always treated me like a leaper. How could you love me?"
I sighed. "You don't get it"
"Yeah I really don't" she said "you should explain it to me"
I turned away from her. "Quinn, explain it to me. Quinn"
"Quinn"
A hand on my shoulder shook me gently. I dazedly opened my eyes to see Rachel looking at me. We were in the parking lot of another diner and she smiled.
"Bathroom break. The others want to get something to eat. Do you want anything?" she asked taking the keys out of the car. I rubbed my eye and shook my head.
"I'll be in, in a minute"
I watched her smile at me and turned to Kurt and Santana. She and Kurt started off towards the building and Santana opened the driver's seat door. She took a seat where Rachel once was and stared out the window. I watched Rachel look back at us a little sadly.
"I don't know what's happening to me" I whispered
"Yep, definitely falling in love. You never know what's going on with yourself and you feel like a ball of emotions. Yeahhhh you're screwed kid"
I sighed resting my head on the back of the chair. "She's going to hurt me, isn't she?" I asked putting my hand on my forehead. Santana placed her hand around my shoulder and pulled me close to her.
"You never know; she just might surprise you"

I looked around again to see Santana's hand around Quinn's shoulder. Quinn was staring right at me with what looked like tears in her eyes. She looked away from me, towards Santana.
"Hey, what's up with Quinn" Kurt asked holding on to my hand.
I turned towards the diner smiling at him "She just needs a minute. Santana is waiting for her"
"Okay I'll get us a table you could go use the bathroom" I nodded walking through the door he held open for me.
I asked a waitress for the rest room and took my phone out of my pocket and dialled Caden's number. It rang continually until the answering machine came on.
Hey babe, we stopped to get something to eat. I just wanted to see how you were. Call me back.
I walked into the rest room standing in front of the mirror. I splashed some water on my face, trying not to remember the look on Quinn's face in the car. Something was wrong, it was weird but I didn't think she would want to tell me about it. After a quick tinkle, I flushed the toilet and washed my hands and wet my face again. The door opened and I looked behind me to see Santana.
"Hey" I said
"Hey roomie. Emptying the bladder?"
I nodded and smiled at her, even though for some weird reason I couldn't help but be extremely angry at her. I didn't know what was wrong with me but I decided not to let it get to me.
"I'm going to go get something to eat while we're here. You want anything?" she opened the door to the stall and shook her head.
I slid into the booth next to Quinn and smiled at both her and Kurt. Quinn tensed a little next to me but recovered quickly.
"Can anyone remind me why we're going to Lima again?" Kurt mumbled shaking a packet of sugar and pouring it into his coffee. Quinn rested a tired head against my shoulder. I slipped my hand into her own under the table.
"Wedding" I replied
He groaned and rested his head against the back of the booth cushion. I rubbed circles on the back of Quinn's hand as Santana slipped into the both next to Kurt, reaching out for Quinn's coffee.
"Ugh why are we going to Lima again?" she asked shooting us a knowing look, making all three of us laugh. Quinn sat up straight, not letting go of my hand and replied to Santana's question. "What's wrong with you two?" she then asked Kurt and Santana.
They both looked at us incredulously. "Have you two seriously forgotten just what we're going home to?" Kurt asked.
"You of all people should be a little apprehensive about going home Rach, your ex-fiancé is not only going to be there but he's going to be a part of the wedding. At least Kurt and I can successfully avoid Blaine and Brittany but you will have to look at Finn the entire time"
I squeezed Quinn's hand and she rubbed the tension out completely out of my hand. She pulled one of my fingers and wiggled it a bit bringing a smile back to my face.
"Our time is over. Quinn and I…I mean Finn and I are over, our time has passed and I would hope he understands that just as much as I do. As for Quinn, I'm sure she feels the same I do when I say that Lima is a part of our past. It was wild, dramatic, sad and enjoyable. It was a great part of our past but it's just that. Our past"
"Yeah what Rach said. Besides why think about going back to Lima when there's New York to look forward to getting back to? I know going to Lima is tentative for you but it's for Mr Schue and Ms Pillsbury so we can do this. Just think, in a couple days we'll be back in New York for the rest of the break and I am sure we can make up for more than our share of what ever transpires in Lima when we get back"
"Back to New York" Santana said holding Quinn's cup of coffee to toast us. Kurt and I clinked mugs with her, taking a sip of my coffee before putting it to Quinn's scowling lips so she could get over Santana hijacking her beverage.
There you have it. Let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing your opinions on this chapter.
Specks :)
