Later, Puck entered the boys locker room to get ready for football practice. He had this smile, kind of a smirk actually, on his face.

"Hey dude!" Finn approached him.

"Hey man! Did I miss anything when Mr. Schue arrived?"

"Not much. Just talking about this being our senior year and that we have to work harder this year and all of that"

"Hmm… Okay, good."

"So…?"

"So what?"

"How was it?"

"What?"

"Stop playing dumb. You and Quinn. Talking."

"Huh… It went well, actually. I think I made her see some things and… Man, this is too weird... Talking with you… About her"

"Dude, we're over. I'm with Rachel and I should have always been. Last year… Quinn and I… It was mistake. But maybe we needed it to get some closure, you know?"

"Yeah… Still weird though"

"Fine, whatever. But how are things with you two?"

"I really don't know to be honest… But we're having dinner tonight so…"

"Cool!"

"Yeah" Puck smiled at the thought of having dinner with Quinn. Their first date.

But now, football practice. Then get ready and pick up Quinn.

Quinn thinks she has never been so nervous in her life. Okay maybe she's overreacting but still. It was their first date.

"I have absolutely nothing to wear!" she yelled at the wardrobe.

She tried on all of her dresses but nothing was looking good on her.

"Why? Why tonight? And he's probably arriving here anytime soon."

After looking for anything that she would eventually like to see on her, she found the perfect dress. It was a gift from Puck actually, when they lived together. She never got the chance to use it because when he gave it to her she was pregnant and after that… well, they had pretty much ignored each other last year so it wouldn't make much sense, at least in her head, to wear it. It was a blue dress and it was just beautiful. She dressed up and while she was putting a little bit of make-up she heard the door. She was alone at home, her mother was having dinner with her new boyfriend. She went downstairs and took a deep breath before opening the door.

"Wow… Just… Wow" Puck was amazed by Quinn's beauty. He had always found her beautiful but damn, that dress looked perfect on her. The dressed that he gave her.

She bit her lip.

"Do you like it?" she teased.

"Are you kidding me? You look… god, you look even more beautiful than usual. Especially with that dress on." he was speechless.

"Thank you." she said shyly "Let me just grab my bag and we can go."

"Yeah, okay..." he couldn't stop smiling.

Despite everything that happened before, he had a really good feeling about this dinner.

They arrived at the restaurant quickly. No, they weren't going to Breadsticks as usual and where everyone goes. Puck wanted to take her to somewhere special. Besides, they were supposed to have the long awaited talk.

They were having a great time together. Amazing, actually. They hadn't talk about their past yet, they were just having a casual conversation about the most random things and telling funny stories. And they were always smiling. But, someone needed to take the first step.

"So… I heard you and Lauren broke up…" Quinn said, hesitant. She didn't want to ruin everything. It was their first date after all and it was being perfect. But they had to have talk about everything, she knew that.

"Yeah, we did… I imagine you're gonna ask why…?"

"Well, I'm not gonna lie… You two seemed... happy last year so of course I'm curious about what happened..."

"Yeah… It's pretty simple, actually. She told me she had cheated on me and…"

"What?"

"Wait, let me finish. She told me that and I broke up with her. This was in the beginning of summer break. Later, we ran into each other and talked a little bit and she said she was lying."

Quinn seemed confused but Puck continued.

"And why did she lie, you're wondering? Well… Because of you."

"Because of me? I don't understand…"

"She said she knew I still had feelings for you. That I had never got over you and saying that she cheated was the only way that she could make me break up with her and maybe realize that because I was in denial about my feeling for you. And you know what? I'm glad she did it because after all she was right, so it's cool now. We're friends"

"Wow… I wasn't expecting that… So, that made you realize you still had feelings for me?" She bit her lip.

"Of course I do. You know that… I… still love you... Always have, always will"

She smiled "I feel the same way. There's a reason why you were my first. We both know I wasn't drunk, at all, that was just an excuse to make me feel less guilty for cheating on Finn. And… I never stopped loving you. Yes, I was with Sam and Finn last year but they're not you and that was the problem."

"It doesn't seem a problem to me" He joked, trying to break the tension.

"You know what I mean" she laughed " But… I'm so, so sorry. Everything that I put you through last year… You didn't deserve it, none of it."

"It's okay Quinn, don't worry about it. We're here together now, talking about this. That's all that matters."

"Of course it's not okay. I was awful to you, I feel terrible about it. But I was scared… after Beth was born… I just needed to ask you that, I needed to know. And it was a relief knowing that you loved me, you have no idea. But then summer came and I started freaking about everything, about us and I just didn't know what to do… I'm sorry for running away"

"It really means a lot that you're saying that. I'm sorry for not doing anything about it but I thought that you needed some space and I didn't want to pressure you… And I thought you didn't want anything with me so… I decided not to interfere."

"Yeah, I understand. And I know it was my fault, I should have never pushed you away"

"Don't blame yourself. It was my fault too, not only yours. But like I said, we're here now so…"

She smiled at him "You're right. Do you think we can still have another chance? Make it work? And do it right this time?"

"I know we can do it. Let's just take it slow and let everything happen naturally. What do you say?"

"Seems perfect. But… We still need to talk about other thing…"

"Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Let me just pay the check, we leave the restaurant and go for a walk before I take you home. Okay?"

"Sure!"

Let me know what you think! :)
