Chapter 7: There's a first for everything.

"Artie! Artie wait!" Quinn yelled out to her boyfriend, or perhaps ex-boyfriend, depending on how the next few minutes went.

Artie continued rolling down the ramp and would've continued out the door until he noticed that it was pouring outside McKinley High.

"God Artie. Listen to me! I..."

"It's fine Quinn." Artie interrupted. "We knew this would happen eventually. I mean, look at you and look at me. You're so beautiful it's unfair to the entire universe and me.. I'm..."

"NO! Ok listen Artie. I'm sorry. I should've told you I was going over to Puck's last night. But nothing happened! We went to see Beth, that's all!" Quinn had to. She had to lie to save both the relationship and Puck's dignity.

"Don't lie to me Quinn!" Artie yelled back. "I called Shelby yesterday! She said you both weren't there!"

"You...You actually called Shelby? I can't believe you did that!" Quinn felt tears in her eyes. She didn't know whether to be upset or guilty. It felt like a mixture of both.

"I did it because I was worried! My girlfriend didn't return a single call or text from me! What'd you expect me to do!" Artie couldn't believe Quinn was trying to guilt him. She was the one who was cheating on him. Why was he feeling guilty? She was good.

"I...I'm sorry! I merely went over to Puck's so..." Quinn left her sentence hanging.

"So what?" Artie demanded an answer.

"So that she could help my grandma bake a cake for my brother's birthday." It wasn't Quinn. It was Puck, who had appeared from behind the couple.

"Artie. Don't blame Quinn. She forgot about the arrangement and my grandma was insistent. She rushed over and left her phone at home." Puck explained.

Quinn had problems with the Puckerman's, but one Mrs. Puckerman had taken a liking to Quinn. She helped defend Quinn whenever there were arguments, and Quinn felt that this cake was a great way of thanking her.

"Quinn. Look me in the eye. Tell me this is exactly what happened."

"Puck's right. That's all that happened. I promise." Quinn replied, staring directly at those blue eyes of Artie. Those perfect blue eyes which made her jump everytime she looked at them. But now, this feeling, was different. Their relationship had grown, even if both of them refused to admit it. The look they shared right now, was a look of trust. A look of belief. A look of love.

"Ok. I believe you. I'm sorry. Hey my mum's here, Quinn, do you wanna come over for awhile?"

"Sure."

They both waved bye to Puck and settled into Mrs. Abrams' car. Not a single word was shared between the couple during the ride, but they both knew what each other was thinking.

"Quinn. I'm sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have doubted..." Artie continued, only to be silenced by a finger of Quinn's on his lips.

"Listen. All that bullshit you said..about you not being good enough for me. That's bullshit you hear me?" Quinn commanded. Her voice had a slight tinge about it. Something wasn't right.

"Yes boss. You're kinda hot when you're mad."

"Oh yeah? So I'm not hot when I'm not?"

"No, you are, I just.. I meant..."

Quinn silenced him again. This time with a kiss to his lips. "Hey, that was our first fight as a couple." Artie proclaimed.

"Hopefully our first and only.."

They continued to kiss, and as when boys and girls are left alone in rooms, they both got more involved in the action.

20 minutes later, Artie yet again announced, "Hey, that was our first too!"

"Trust me. That won't be our only..." Quinn replied. They both laughed and cuddled in bed.

A/N: I wanted to keep this clean so I didn't get too much into the details of...stuff. But you guys know what I'm talking about.
