TITLE: Does It Have To Be Pink? Chapter 11
PAIRINGS
ROMANCE: Faberry, Brittana
RATING: M
A/N: Glad that people kinda liked the last chapter a bit better and for those of you who just want more fluff and sexytimes, hopefully I will be back to writing that very soon. Thank you to everyone who is still sticking to this story, I know it's been quite the roller-coaster (just like my feelings for Ryan Murphy, Brittana and Quinn were the reasons I started to watch glee, what is that show without them?)
Just so I don't confuse you, this chapter starts with a flashback, and this chapter will have a few flashbacks that will cut in, all will be in italics so hopefully it won't be too confusing, enjoy
"Earth to Quinnie. Hey Quinn!" Santana shouted trying to gain her friend's attention, they were sat in the cafeteria and Quinn's mind seem to be elsewhere right now
"Oh sorry what were you saying?" Quinn asked turning back to her friends
"Ok Quinn seriously that's like the fifth time this week I've caught you staring at that Berry girl, why don't you just go and ask her out already" Santana suggested
"Because I'm not really into getting rejected" Quinn replied
"Oh come on, have you seen yourself, you're like dead hot Quinn and we all know that Rachel girl is like bisexual or something. I don't know but she's single right? So why don't you just go for it"
"Yeah Quinn what's the worse that can happen?" Britt added
"She could say no then I'll be embarrassed for the rest of our school life"
"She's not gonna say no Q" Santana assured
"You don't know that, how the hell did you ever get the courage to ask Brittany out?" Quinn wondered looking at the cute couple sitting opposite her
"I'm a Lopez; I have courage coming out of my ying yang"
"I do like your ying yang" Brittany giggled
"You didn't answer the question"
Santana sighed "I don't know, I don't really remember I just know I really liked Brittany and I didn't want to see her end up with some ass hole guy so one day I wrote her a note to meet me in the gym after school and when she got there I set up a little picnic for us and I told her I liked her a lot and thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever met and then I asked her if she wanted to go out with me as more than just friends and she obviously said yes" Santana explained
"And I still have that note too" Britt smiled dopily at her girlfriend before leaning in and pecking the Latina on the nose
"So what would have happened if she had said no?" Quinn smirked at her question
"I don't know I guess I'd just have to learn to live with it and move on, or at least find a bag to put over my head, but she didn't and neither will Rachel. That is if you ever get the balls to go over there and actually ask"
"But I've never even talked to her before" Quinn sighed
"Well now's your chance, go for it Fabray, she won't wait forever"…
"Quinn, hey Fabray!" Santana shouted knocking Quinn back into reality, they were sat in Quinn's room and Quinn was most definitely distracted once more
"Sorry San, I'm just all over the place right now" the blond replied
"So she actually said you're done, like once and for all, no going back?" Santana asked, Quinn had spent most of the night crying into the shoulders of her two best friends and rehashing the scene a million times in her head
"She fucking dumped me Santana, she was talking about me and Miss Holliday getting it on and she just dumped me there and then"
"Quinn! You're fucking Holly!?" Santana said seeming completely surprised with a little disgust in her voice but also a hint of admiration
Quinn looked at Santana quick to shoot down the untrue rumour "No Santana, that's what I don't get. You guys know I'd never cheat on Rachel but she seems to think I have, so somebody is obviously feeding her lies or she's got the wrong idea somehow. I mean I've only seen Miss Holliday when I had detention with her and I ended up on the floor…and oh fuck!" Quinn stopped after putting the pieces together
"What?" Brittany asked her friend, concerned over the matter at hand
"She did come to see me after all, she must have seen me on my knees" Quinn realised
"You went down on Holliday? Shit Quinn" Santana questioned
Quinn immediately frowned at the Latina "Fucking hell Santana what is wrong with you? No I was picking up the pens she dropped and I was on the floor. She must have seen us like that, fuck!" Quinn growled getting angry at her own stupid actions
"So you're not screwing anyone else?" Santana wondered
"NO! But I can't believe she actually thinks I'd cheat on her" Quinn said, disappointment taking over her, she'd always trusted Rachel, why couldn't Rachel trust her too?
Quinn got up from where her and her friends were sat, she set her sights on Rachel who was of course sitting alone at a table across the cafeteria, Quinn looked back and both Santana and Brittany gave her encouragement to proceed as they watched on. Quinn decided it was now of never, if Santana could ask Brittany out then she could ask Rachel out for sure.
"Hey" Quinn said when she reached the table the brunette was sat at, her voice cracking mid-word
Rachel looked up and Quinn caught sight of her deep chocolate brown eyes, causing Quinn's knees to grow weak. Rachel looked around to make sure Quinn was actually talking to her before she replied "Hello" she softly said back
"Um…can I sit here?" Quinn asked pointing nervously to the empty seat opposite Rachel
Rachel smiled "Absolutely" she said nodding excitedly
Quinn sat down and looked around the room; she couldn't believe how much she was sweating nor how much her heart was pounding. "Are you having a nice lunch?" Quinn asked, mentally kicking herself for her moronic question
"Yes I am, do you want some?" Rachel said offering Quinn some of her lunch
"Uh no that's ok, I've already eaten, what is that though?" Quinn asked frowning at the weird stuff Rachel had
"It's tofu, I'm a vegan" she informed, smiling at the cute face the blond in front of her was making
"Well it looks good I guess" Quinn said not wanting to upset Rachel by insulting her lunch
"It's not really that great, it's kinda boring but it keeps me alive" Rachel shrugged and Quinn couldn't help but smile
"I'm Quinn by the way, Quinn Fabray"
"Yeah I know, we have glee club together plus you're in my history class" Rachel informed
"Oh right of course I am, sorry, that was stupid" Quinn shook her head, she could feel Santana and Brittany both watching her and most likely laughing at her failure, she sighed before she stood up
"Where are you going?" Rachel asked sadly but she didn't give Quinn a chance to reply "Don't leave, I like having someone to talk to" she smiled at Quinn and Quinn smiled back before sitting back down
"Why do you not sit with your friends?" Quinn asked curiously
"Oh well, I guess I don't really have any" Rachel replied and her words hurt Quinn a little, she couldn't imagine how hard high school would be if she didn't have any friends at all "How come you're over here anyway? You usually sit with your friends"
"I actually came over here to ask you something but it's not important"
"Well what is it? If you came over here then it must be something"
"No it's nothing really it's stupid, you wouldn't be interested anyway" Quinn said sadly
"Well maybe I could make that decision, come on just ask"
"Ok but don't laugh"
"Why would I laugh?" Rachel giggled
"Because…I like you ok, like, like you like you and I came over here to ask if you maybe wanted to go out with me sometime, but forget it ok, I know you're not into me. Can we please forget I said anything at all?" Quinn begged
"You like me?" Rach asked astonished by the blond's confession
"I think you're really pretty and kind" Quinn smiled awkwardly
"Well I think you're very cute and you must have a lot of courage to just ask me out like that"
"You think I'm cute?" Quinn looked down at her hands as she felt her cheeks blush
"I'd love to go out with you sometime" Rachel smiled like an excited child
"Wait are you serious, you're not Punkin' me right now are you?" Quinn wondered
"Can I tell you a secret?"
"Sure"
"I've wanted you to ask me out for a while now, I like you too. You're cute and funny and I love your singing and dancing in glee club, I love to watch you, you are very talented" Rachel admitted shyly as her cheeks also started to blush at her confession
"Are you serious? That's cool" Quinn grinned
"I have to go pick up some sheet music from Mr Schue but here's my number and I hope I'll see you later in glee club?" Rachel smirked as she wrote down her cell number on her napkin before handing it to the blond
"I wouldn't miss it for the world" Quinn smirked back accepting the napkin as Rachel gave her a wink then walked off. Quinn smiled down at the napkin, wow it really wasn't as hard as she though…
"What's wrong honey? You've been sulking around all evening" LeRoy asked his daughter as Rachel sat in their kitchen with the tear stains all down her face and a pile of used tissues to the side
"Nothing daddy, I'm fine" she assured with a sniffle
LeRoy sat down next to the girl, placing one hand on her shoulder for comfort "Oh come on Rach, you don't honestly expect me to believe that one do you?" he laughed a little but it did nothing to lighten his daughter's mood
"It's just Quinn dad" Rach said, before a fresh tear rolled down her cheek before getting swiped away by a new Kleenex
"Girl problems hey, what did she do this time?" he wondered playfully
"She cheated on me" Rachel stated, stunning her father slightly who was thinking it was a simple disagreement between the two girls "I gave her my heart, I gave her everything and she goes and cheats on me, and now she's denying it"
"Well maybe you should hear her out, maybe she really is telling the truth" LeRoy tried to defend the blond, he and Hiram had always liked Quinn, she had always seemed like a very pleasant young girl and she was always into Rachel, she just didn't seem like the type to cheat
Rachel was offended by the fact her father was taking Quinn's side on this "She cheated on me dad! Why should I even give her the time of day, she obviously doesn't care how I feel" Rachel argued
"You still love her though right?" he already knew the answer and Rachel slowly and stubbornly nodded her response "Did you actually see her cheat?"
"She was under the table between our teacher's legs daddy, if that's proof enough" Rachel said as she wiped away the latest tears
LeRoy was even more surprised by the fact she was accusing Quinn of cheating with a teacher "I find it hard to believe that Quinn Fabray is actually stupid enough to do that at school, maybe it's just a misunderstanding or something" LeRoy shrugged trying his hardest to shed some sort of light on the situation
"Dad, you're supposed to be on my side here" Rachel reminded her father of his loyalties
"And I am on your side Rach, I'm just saying Quinn loves you and it seems a little odd that she would just cheat on you, especially with a teacher. I mean maybe she was picking up her pen" he joked
"Oh come on dad what do you think I'm stupid or something?"
"No of course not Rachel, all I'm saying is maybe you should just talk to her in person before blaming her for cheating, I mean it's a pretty bad accusation and you don't want to lose Quinn over this if it turns out to be untrue" LeRoy said softly, hoping it was getting through to his daughter
Rachel stood up and took her box of tissues with her "Sorry dad but I know what I saw, if Quinn wants she can come to me but I am not going to her" she walked out of the kitchen and ran off to her bedroom where she spent the rest of the night crying over the blond.
The next day Rachel had just gotten to school and she was on her way to her locker when she was pushed into the girl's toilets by Santana Lopez who was closely followed by Brittany Pierce "Santana unhand me at once" Rachel requested and Santana let her go but continued to glare at her
"Why are you doing this to Quinn, Rachel?" Santana asked
"I'm not doing anything to Quinn, she betrayed my trust and I can't forgive her for that"
"She didn't cheat on you so why don't you just let that go and talk to her"
"You didn't see her Santana, I did"
"Look Rachel you're our friend but Quinn is my home girl and I can't bear to see her all crying and shit, she fucking loves you, why can't you see that?"
"If she loved me so bad then she wouldn't have been looking elsewhere now would she?" Rachel said smugly
"Quinn would do anything for you, hell she came out for you, she would never do the dirty on you" Santana insisted, having known the blond a lot longer than Rachel had
"Then why doesn't she come and tell me that herself, now if you'll excuse me I have a locker to get to" the diva stated before pushing past Santana and leaving the bathroom
"Why is that girl so stubborn? Honestly she's so frustrating" Santana growled before Britt pulled her in for a tight hug and kiss
"Come on baby, let's get to class" the blond suggested
Quinn was lying on her bed, she had a tear stained face and she had been trying to avoid her mother for weeks, ever since she started dating Rachel, but it was getting harder to look at her mother when she knew she was lying to her each day about something so big. Quinn quickly wiped her tears away with her hand when she heard a knock on her bedroom door "Lucy, are you in there baby?" Judy shouted from the other side of the wood
"Go away, I'm doing homework" Quinn lied, trying to make her voice sound as normal as possible
"Lucy I know you've been crying I could hear you, now let me in please"
Quinn got up off her bed and went over to the door, she unlocked it and went back to her bed to sit down as her mother entered the room and shut the door behind her "Honey what's wrong?" Judy asked as she sat down next to her daughter
"Nothing, I'm fine mom" Quinn tried to assure her but her falling tears weren't exactly doing much to help
Judy placed her palm on the girl's check and wiped away the tears, "Come on I'm your mother Luce, and I'm not stupid. Now tell me what's going on?" they sat there in silence as Quinn couldn't think of what to say. She didn't even know if she could physically say the word gay to her mother let alone tell her mother she was dating a girl "Ok then if you won't tell me, I'll have to guess. Has something happened at school? Have you fallen out with Santana or Brittany?" she asked and Quinn shook her head "Well is it about your dad, do you miss him, because you can still call him or email him?" again Quinn shook her head "Is it about a boy?" Judy asked next and Quinn was even quicker to dismiss that one, Judy sighed "A girl?" she said surprising Quinn greatly, the smaller blond looked up with her sad tired eyes at her mother before she burst into a new round of tears, even more than before
Judy immediately wrapped her arms around her daughter and pulled her into a tight comforting hug; Quinn pressed her teary face into her mother's shoulder and began to speak "I'm so sorry mom"
"Why are you sorry baby? You can't help who you fall for" Judy assured, stroking Quinn's hair. Quinn pulled back at her mother's response; she thought for sure the woman would have been angry with her "Is this what you've been upset about for the past few weeks?" Quinn nodded as her mother brushed the stray strands of hair from her face
"You don't hate me?" Quinn wondered, sniffling slightly
"You're my daughter, I could never hate you, I can only ever love you" Judy said sweetly smiling down at the little blond "Whether you like boys or girls or both, they're the lucky ones to have you on their team" Judy laughed
"Thanks mommy, I love you" Quinn hugged her mother, loving the warmth that was radiating from the woman
"I love you too Lu…Quinnie" Judy replied "Now wipe those tears and tell me, does this mystery girl have a name?" Judy smiled
Quinn did as she was told before she replied "Rachel. Rachel Berry" she said with a happy smile…
By the time lunch came around Quinn hadn't even seen Rachel, she wasn't sure if she really wanted to, Rachel clearly didn't trust her, but then again she did lie to her in the first place and Quinn did want to set things straight.
"Hey I just saw your girl in the library looking pretty depressed" Santana stated as she and Brittany took their regular seats at their table. Quinn had been sat there alone, usually she would be with Rachel but after recent events there was no way Rachel would be eating lunch with them now
Quinn huffed "She's not my girl anymore San she dumped me, remember?"
"Yeah well now's your chance to be undumped" Santana said, hating the way Quinn seemed to be giving up, this wasn't the Quinn Fabray she knew
"I've tried; she won't even talk to me!" Quinn growled
"Well try again Quinn!" Santana growled back until Brittany stepped in to stop the girls from savaging each other
"Guys I like the 'Lion King' but only as a cartoon" the taller blond said causing both girls to sit back down in their chairs
"Whatever, I'm gonna go" Quinn said as she stood up, grabbed her stuff and left the cafeteria to head for the library. Once she got there she looked around until she saw Rachel in the quiet study section. She walked over to the brunette and sat down beside her
"This is a library Quinn, it means you can't shout or make noise" Rachel stated coldly as she kept her eyes on her studying in front of her, which was actually just doodling she had been doing for the past couple of classes
"I just wanna talk Rach, please"
"I think we've talked enough"
"Look Rachel I know you still love me"
"Really? What makes you say that?" Rach asked
"Because you came to forgive me at least once, but you stopped yourself" Quinn said knowingly
"And what makes you so sure about that?"
"Because I know you" Quinn stated
"Well it would seem I don't know you" Rachel countered
"Rachel I know I lied to you ok and I'm sorry for that, but I just thought if you believed we were both virgins then you'd think it was more special"
Rachel's eyes finally left her work and locked with Quinn's hazel ones "Quinn that's not why I'm mad at you, well it is a little but that's not why I'm royally pissed at you" Rachel informed, trying to keep her voice to a minimum.
"I know I shouldn't have lied, it was stupid" Quinn tried to continue
"Quinn, I can deal with a lie because I can see you had good intentions behind it, I can handle that. It's the cheating I can't do"
"Cheating? No Rach you see you don't get it, I didn't cheat" the blond protested
"That's another lie Quinn, you and Miss Holliday, I fucking saw you. It was disgusting, I mean I should report her really, but I can't do that and do you know why, because I care about you too much to do that to you. If you want her then whatever, I mean of course you would rather have Holly, she's sexy, beautiful, funny, upbeat, blond, mature and successful, everything I'm not"
"Rachel there's nothing going on between me and Holly I swear to you" Quinn tried only to be hushed by the ancient librarian at the desk, Rachel stood up as Quinn was distracted "Rachel you have to believe me, me and Holly, no, just no Rachel, nothing happened between us"
"I wish I could believe you Quinn but you seem to have a habit of lying to me"
"I'm not lying this time, if you'll just let me explain please"
"Quinn do you know what you get when you rearrange the word teacher?" Rachel asked and Quinn instantly shook her head, she didn't have time for games "You get cheater, and right now I like neither" she said as she picked up her books
Quinn stood up and grabbed Rachel's arm, she tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall "Rachel please let me explain it. I'm not a cheater, I love you"
Rachel turned around to face Quinn, she too was beginning to cry "Like I said before Quinn you broke my heart like a puzzle and do you know how hard it is to rebuild a puzzle when it's in so many pieces?"
"I used to be really good at puzzles when I was a kid" Quinn tried to assure
"Well you're not a kid anymore Quinn" Rachel said in a tone mixed with hurt and heartbreak but also a little coldness, before she began to walk away from the blond once more
"Rachel! Please don't do this!" Quinn shouted but to no avail as Rachel disappeared around the corner and the librarian hushed her one last time
Quinn left the library feeling sorry for herself, she knew she shouldn't have tried to talk to Rachel; she should have just left her to do her thinking. She walked with her head down thinking of all the things she could do that might make it up to Rachel, that was until she bumped into something that almost knocked her right out. She fell to the floor and down on her ass "Ouch" she exclaimed and saw two feet standing in front of her. Quinn followed the legs up and saw Finn towering over her "What the fuck Hudson? You almost knocked me into next week" she stated and he offered her a hand and helped her up, she stood and rubbed at her head
"How could you do that to Rachel?" he asked
"What are you blabbing on about?"
"How could you cheat on her, there's rumours all over the school since you two have been seen not sitting together. Some are saying you went down on a model and others are saying you did it with her brother" Finn informed Quinn
"She doesn't even have a brother" Quinn dismissed
"So who was it? Did you really cheat on her? And who did you cheat with?" he questioned getting a little angry
"I didn't cheat on her, and besides it's none of your fucking business Finn, now leave me alone" Quinn insisted as she tried to pass him but he quickly blocked her way
"You know this never would have happened if she was with me. I'd treat her right, I'd give her everything, and I wouldn't even look at another woman" he said
"Get lost Finn you don't even know what you're talking about, I didn't cheat on Rachel and I never would, now get outta my way" Quinn demanded
"Then why is everyone saying you did? Do you know some people are even saying you were with a teacher" he whispered and Quinn suddenly felt her defences fall, it wasn't true but she knew Rachel believed it and suddenly it felt like everyone was watching her, judging her and hating her for this.
"Just get out of my way Finn!" Quinn ordered before forcefully pushing him out of her way and running off towards the girl's toilets nearby just as Santana and Brittany turned up.
They saw Quinn run off and Finn looking smug and figured what had happened "Hey Finn why don't you take your deflated potato sack body and your giant clown feet and get the fuck away from all of mankind because your existence does no body any favours, except maybe the odd lesbian flannel shirt store" Santana hissed at the boy
"Yeah I don't even know how your mom got you out of her body, you must have like broke her or something" Brittany added and Finn gave both girls a hurt look before walking off defeated knowing he couldn't compete with the two fiery quick mouthed girls. "Do you think Quinn is ok?" Britt turned to her girlfriend with a concerned look
"She's tough, but I'll go check on her. Why don't you go see if you can find Rachel, maybe talk some sense into that girl, she might listen to you" Santana suggested and Britt nodded her response before giving San a kiss on the lips and making her way down the corridor in the direction Rachel had run off into.
Santana made her way into the bathroom, it seemed empty until she heard the distinct sound of somebody throwing up in a cubical "Jesus Linda Blair, save some for the movie" she joked as she stood at the door looking down at Quinn kneeling in front of the toilet
"Fuck off Santana, everyone's already talking about me, I don't need you being an ass too" she said before making another unpleasant sound
"An ass? Well I'm hurt" Santana said sarcastically
"Like anything hurts you" Quinn said as she pulled back and flushed the toilet then leaned up against the cubical wall "What do you want anyway?"
"I just came to see if you're ok, I guess you're little talk with the girlfriend didn't go as planned" Santana said softly as she sat down next to the blond
"She didn't even give me the chance to explain what actually happened"
"So she still thinks you're a cheater then?"
"What do you think?" Quinn said in her depressed state and Santana put her hand on the blond's knee for comfort
Meanwhile Brittany was walking down the corridor hoping to spot where Rachel had gotten to; eventually she found the brunette sat at a desk in an empty classroom. She opened the door before shutting it behind her and walking up to the sad girl "Hey" Brittany said quietly
Rachel looked up at the tall blond, tears clearly making their way down her face "Hey Britt" she said sadly "How do you do it Britt?"
"Well it depends but I mostly use my fingers, but Santana prefers my tongue, it gets her off quicker" Brittany said innocently misunderstanding Rachel's question and though the response made the brunette laugh she was quick to rephrase her sentence
"No I meant, how do you maintain a normal relationship with Santana, I mean isn't it hard?" she asked like she no longer had any answers of her own
"Of course it's hard, but you just have to take the good points from the bad. All relationships are hard, it doesn't matter what age you are or your gender or any of that, two people trying to work together on something as seriously as love is bound to lead to rough patches, but you just learn to jump those hurdles when you get to them" Britt informed sitting down next to Rachel "You know things haven't always been Romeo and Juliette with me and Santana but now we have a honestly policy and it works, but before it San lied to me once" Britt said like the memory was painful to think about
Rachel looked up at Brittany "Really about what?" she asked curiously
Brittany looked down at her hands "Well I guess you could say she actually cheated too…I mean she kissed another girl when we first started going out"
Rachel seemed surprised by this confession, she had known the girls for a while now but she had no idea Santana had once cheated on Brittany, she silently wondered if Quinn knew about this too "Really? Why did you forgive her?" she asked
"Because I love her. I couldn't be without her and I know she regretted it more than anything else" Britt said like it was simple
"I do still love Quinn you know" Rachel said slowly
"I know and that's why she deserves a second chance. We all know she can be dumb sometimes and that's coming from me but she always means well and she had good intentions behind her lie and now it's all out in the open you two can go back to normal. And she didn't cheat on you, you know just hear her out, give her that chance"
"I guess I could listen to her for a change rather than just shouting at her. Thanks Britt I can see why Santana melts at your feet" Rachel said leaning her head on Britt's shoulder
"I also have a pretty sweet ass" Brittany laughed and Rachel soon joined in
"Oh and by the way, if you guys are Romeo and Juliette, who's Juliette?" Rachel wondered
"Me" Brittany said with absolutely no hesitation "Besides Santana does a better Leonardo DiCaprio Impression" Britt smiled
Santana and Quinn sat on the floor of the toilets for a few minutes before the silence was broken "Are you ok Quinn?" Santana asked softly, concerned about her best friend
Quinn sighed "Why do I fuck everything good up San? I mean Rachel is like the only good thing in my life and I go and blow it with her"
"Then fix it"
"I can't, I've tried, she won't even talk to me or answer my calls or my texts, I just feel so lost. She actually thinks I'm cheating on her" Quinn said
"God Quinn, you know what, this isn't like you. You're Quinn Fabray man, you should be kicking ass. You shouldn't be in here crying and whimpering. God quit feeling sorry for your sweet pale ass and go out there and get your girl back" Santana ordered
"I can't" Quinn replied
"YES you can!" Santana practically shouted in her ear
"No I can't" Quinn shook her head and Santana gave out a grunt before standing up and yanking the blond to her feet
"Grow your fucking balls back Quinn Fabray and tell Rachel what she means to you and don't let go until she knows. You owe her that!" Santana looked her directly in the eyes, her face stern and she looked as though she was about to burn a hole right through Quinn if she didn't do as she was told
"You're right" Quinn said like she had had some major reality check
"I'm always right" Santana replied with a smirk, a little surprised her inspirational speech actually worked
"This isn't me, I don't cry about shit, I go and act. I'm not just gonna give her up without a fight, I love her and that means something to me"
"We all make mistakes Quinnie, it's how you deal with those mistakes that defines you" Santana added, placing her hands on Quinn's shoulders
"God you know sometimes you actually make sense San, only sometimes though" Quinn smiled
"Yeah well I've made enough mistakes of my own to help you with yours, now dry those eyes and find that diva"
"Thanks San"
"Anytime Q" Quinn pulled Santana into an unexpected tight hug that lasted several uncomfortable, awkward seconds, "Ok enough with the hugging, our boobs are like smooshing together, it's weird"
Quinn pulled back from the hug "I love you Santana"
"Loves you too Quinn" Santana smiled at her friend before the blond walks with renewed purpose out of the dirty bathroom and off to get her girl back
After leaving the empty classroom Rachel knew exactly what she had to do, it wasn't gonna be easy but she had to find out the truth once and for all, if Quinn said she didn't cheat then she could believe her but Quinn had lied once to her already over something meaningful and she couldn't risk being lied to again so instead of going to Quinn she decided to go right to the source of the cheating. Miss Holly Holliday
"Miss Holliday?" Rachel said as she stood in the doorway of the math class the blond had been covering for the day. She was nervous and didn't really know how to ask a teacher if she was sleeping with her girlfriend or not, she wondered if there was protocol for a situation like this.
"Oh Rachel, what can I do for you? Need me to come and Cee Lo up the choir room?" Holly asked with a smile "or maybe a little Joan Jett to add some rock and roll to that place?"
"Um no that's not necessary, I actually came to talk to you about something" Rachel replied shyly
"Oh well come on in, take a seat" Holly said and Rachel made her way in the classroom and shut the door behind her but she didn't sit down "What's up?" Holly smiled at Rachel
"I wanted to ask you something about Quinn"
"Uh, ok, sure shoot" Holly said, not really knowing what this was about
"This may seem a little weird and all but I just need to know. What happened between you two during her detention?" Rach asked getting right to the point.
Holly laughed a little "Well the usual, she came in, sat down, I gave her some work to do but we spent most of the time talking actually"
"Talking? Talking about what?" Rach wondered
"Well you actually. She was pretty upset, I gather you two had a fallout and she was telling me how much she wished she could just make it all right again and how much she loved you and hated herself for lying to you" Holly explained and Rachel's face lightened up a little
"So you and her, you never…?"
"Never what Rachel? What is this about?" Holly seemed even more confused than when Rachel first came in
"Did you and Quinn do stuff together?" Rachel asked not knowing any other way to phrase her question without it becoming even more awkward
"What kind of stuff? Wait do you mean like sexually? Rachel you think me and Quinn had sex? She's my student, she's like half my age" Holly laughed
"I saw you two, I saw her on her knees, she was between your legs, you can't deny that"
"Rach, Quinn was on her knees because she was picking up some pens that I dropped, she was not doing that. Oh my god is that what people think?" Holly wondered
"So she really didn't cheat? She really was telling the truth that time. Oh my god I have to go find her" Rachel said worriedly
The classroom door opened "What's going on here?" a voice interrupted
Holly and Rachel both turned to see a confused and slightly scared Quinn at the door "Rachel what have you said?" Quinn asked
"Nothing, I'm sorry Miss Holliday this was just a huge misunderstanding on my part. I can't believe it dads really do know best, I have to go" Rachel said before quickly making her way past Quinn and out of the room
"What was that all about?" Quinn questioned a still surprised Holly
"She thinks we're having an affair" Holly informed gesturing between them
"Oh I know, I'm sorry, it's not my fault, I should go after her" Quinn said and left Holly to run after Rachel "Rach! Stop please" she said as Rachel powerwalked down the corridor "Rachel I didn't cheat on you!"
Rachel suddenly stopped and turned around causing Quinn to run into her and knock them both down "I know you didn't" Rachel finally accepted "I'm sorry I didn't believe you in the first place, I can't believe I jumped to that conclusion"
"No Rachel its ok, I lied to you once so it's only natural you weren't gonna trust me" Quinn smiled and helped Rachel back to her feet "I think I've spent more time sat on the floor today than I have standing" Quinn commented and Rachel frowned wondering what she was talking about but she quickly dismissed it as a Quinn moment
"Can we go back to your place, I just think we should talk about this in private" Rachel said looking around at the half crowded hallways
"Anything you want" Quinn smiled
Once they got to Quinn's house they went straight up to the girl's room for an important relationship talk "I'm sorry I said those mean things to you" Rachel said sadly
"I'm sorry for lying to you in the first place; all of this never would have happened if I had just been honest with you from day one"
"Though I don't appreciate being lied to, I do get why you did it."
"You know you're all those things right? That you said about Miss Holliday, you're all those things and so much more, well except blond, but I'm glad about that" Quinn smiled
"I could always go blond if you ever change your mind" Rachel flirted
"I would never change you for anything, especially now you've forgiven me" Quinn looked at Rachel as they sat on her bed but Rachel's face dropped "What's wrong?"
"I can't just forgive you, not just like that. You really hurt me with your lie and I've been doing a lot of thinking about us and our relationship"
"Are we breaking up?" Quinn asked heartbroken
"No, I don't want us to break up, I love you and I never want to not have you in my life, I couldn't imagine that, but I need to know something first"
"What is it?" Quinn asked desperately
"I need you to prove something to me" Rachel locked eyes with the blond
"Anything, just tell me what it is"
"I need you to prove to me you're not just with me for the sex"
Quinn laughed "What? Why would you even think that?"
"Well let's face it Quinn you'd probably have sex with a rattle snake if it was wearing a lacy bra" Rachel said almost hurt
"Come on Rachel you know I'm not with you for the sex. I'm with you because I love you" Quinn reminded, taking Rachel's hands in her own
"I know you do but I just need to see it, sometimes I just feel like I'm not enough for you and I hate that. I mean we've been dating for a while now but maybe we didn't really get the chance to really get to know one another as best as we should. Maybe I pushed you with the whole strap on thing, I know that was my idea but I need to know you're not like that" Rachel was almost crying again
"Ok if that's what you want, I'll do whatever it takes to prove this to you. What do you need me to do?" Quinn asked determined to prove herself to her girlfriend
"I want you to go a month without us having sex"
Quinn nodded her head "Well that won't be hard, I mean my girlfriend did just dump me for being an idiot" she said trying to lighten the mood just a little
"Well said girlfriend is gonna forgive you if said idiot can go the month without sex and that includes under the shirt groping" Rachel smiled back
"Rach you know I'll do anything for you, we don't have to have sex, I'm happy with just being with you, if it's what you need then I'll go two months" Quinn assured
"That's not needed, a month is fine and I will make some rules to ensure it all goes to plan. This isn't a punishment, I just think that if we focus less on the physical then maybe we can use that time to work on the rest of the things we've been missing, like talking for instance, and I don't mean talking with our tongues real close" Rach smirked
"Well you're all I need so consider me celibate for the next month" Quinn smiled before leaning in to kiss Rachel, being sure not to use any tongue
"Now we're gonna lay here on your bed and you're gonna hold me and tell me how talented I am until we both fall asleep in each other's arms"
"There's nothing I'd rather be doing" Quinn smirked and shifted herself behind Rachel to get into a spooning position, then she wrapped one arm around her "I know I've been a really shitty girlfriend recently Rach but I'm gonna change that. I'm gonna get it right this time, I'm gonna do it all right, I promise, no more lies, no more secrets. I love you so much baby" she kissed Rachel's cheek
Rachel snuggled back into Quinn's warm body "I love you too Quinn"
Flashback: A Faberry First Time
"We don't have to do this Rachel, there's no rush" Quinn assured Rach as they lay on Rachel's bed
"I want to be intimate with you Quinn, it's just, no one's ever seen me before, like naked. Well my dads obviously but I was a baby back then"
"What are you so worried about?" Quinn wondered looking at her insecure girlfriend
"I don't have the boobs of Santana or the body of Brittany or a butt like yours" Rachel admitted
"Rachel stop being so silly, you're beautiful and perfect just the way you are. Your body is gorgeous and yeah your boobs aren't massive but I'd rather have them the way they are. I'm more into smaller breasts anyway, I mean have you seen mine they're way smaller than yours and besides they'll fit perfectly in my hands while I'm kissing you" Quinn said reassuringly "And wait, hold up, what do you mean a butt like mine?"
"Well you know it's all perfectly rounded and I've felt it, it's like steel and you have abs too and…"
"Rachel your butt is adorable, I wouldn't ever change a thing about you, I'd never want to, you're perfect just the way you are" Quinn smiled
"Are you just saying that to get in my pants?" Rachel asked a little worried she was right
"No, never. I mean every word of it and we don't have to do anything tonight. We can just cuddle and watch a movie. I'm fine with that; I don't want to rush you into anything. After all it is our first time together right? So it should be special"
"And since we're both virgins it needs to be extra special" Rachel smiled
"Uh yeah exactly, it should always be special, especially when it's the first time" Quinn said "So I don't mind waiting for as long as you need, I'd hate to make you do something you weren't ready for" Quinn placed her hand on Rachel's leg reassuringly
"No, let's do it. I love you Quinn and I want to make love with you tonight" Rachel nodded
"Are you sure?" Quinn said not wanting Rachel to go through with this just because she thought it's what she wanted to do
Rachel leaned in and gave Quinn a light peck on the lips "Never been so sure in my life" she whispered against the blond's lips while looking into her deep hazel eyes as they stared back into her brown ones "I want you to have my virginity as long as I get yours"
Quinn smiled "Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way"
Rachel returned her smile and pulled Quinn into another kiss, but this time passion and heat erupted between them as Rachel pulled Quinn down on top of her. They spent the next few minutes just caressing and kissing until it was time to make the next move. Quinn moved one hand to the hem of Rachel's shirt, ready to take it off but the brunette stopped her. "Wait" she said shyly
"Rachel just relax, I promise I'm not gonna hurt you or do anything you don't want to do. If you want me to stop at any time you only have to say, ok?" Quinn promised
Rachel gave a single slow nod "Ok" her voice was quiet
"Do you want me to stop?"
"No carry on please, I'm just nervous" she confessed
"Just relax ok and I'll do all the work, I'll make you feel so good Rachel, I love you" Quinn said before planting a meaningful kiss on the girl's lips
"I love you too" Rachel managed to say once Quinn had pulled back, she let Quinn slip her shirt off…
"Do you think Quinn and Rachel made up yet?" Britt asked Santana as they sat in Breadstix after school
"I don't know babe, I hope so, those two are made for each other" Santana replied
"What did you say to Quinn?" the blond asked her girlfriend
"Oh you know just the usual, to quit being such a pussy and face her mistakes. What about you? What did you say to Berry?"
"I just told her that she should give Quinn another chance if she loved her so much, because at the end of the day it's the love that counts and mistakes can be left behind, you can't just leave love behind" Britt explained "Do you think that Rachel and Quinn will be together forever?"
"I do, I think they're like us, whether they want to admit that or not" San smiled
…"does it always feel that amazing?" Rachel asked as she recovered her energy and smiled in her afterglow of the pleasure that was a result of their lovemaking
"Glad you liked it" Quinn smirked as she held Rachel tightly. They were both lying on their sides facing each other and gently kissing intimately, Quinn toyed with Rachel's hair as she enjoyed the moment. They were both still naked and the bed sheet only covered their lower halves. Rachel began to feel shy again and attempted to pull the sheet over her upper half also but she was quickly stopped by Quinn "No don't hide away. I love seeing you. You're so beautiful; you should never cover yourself up. I love every inch of you Rach" Quinn informs
Rachel smiled at her girlfriend before shyly moving her arm out of the way for Quinn to see her breasts again. The blond placed her hand on the sensitive skin and ran her thumb gently over the side of Rachel's breast and with a happy smile she says "You have really nice nipples"
Rachel giggled at the blond's comment "oh thanks, you do too, they're cute" Quinn leaned over to kiss Rachel "Thank you for making this special, it was well worth the wait and I can't believe I was so nervous about doing it in the first place, it really couldn't have been any better" Rachel assured
"It was special because we did it together, you're all I've ever wanted baby, I never want this to end"
"Well it doesn't have to, my dads won't be home till late so there's plenty of time for round two, three, four" Rachel joked
"You're gonna be the death of me Rachel Berry" Quinn joked before she let her girlfriend savage her, and from that moment for her it didn't matter about the past, this was her first time because this time it actually meant something to her
A/N: So hopefully that chapter didn't upset anyone, I seem to have a habit of doing that recently, but I hope you all liked how that chapter went and hope you liked the flashbacks too. Please review and let me know.
Also I have been thinking about ending this story soon, but I was thinking about doing a sequel to it which will be set a couple of years on in college, it will still include both Faberry and Brittana and we can't forget Rocky but they'll just be in college so they'll be a little more mature. What are people's thoughts on that idea? So please leave your thoughts and reviews for this chapter below. :)
