Chapter 3

Noises of people awakening woke Quinn up that morning. Rachel was still sound asleep, their legs intertwined. How had this happened? When was the moment she knew she felt differently about Rachel. The critical moment was obviously when they kissed and she felt the spark. But the only other time she felt that she could have liked Rachel was when she pretended to be her friend. She got a chance to see other side to Rachel when she was at home, she found this side way more tolerable. It was also the time when she has asked her for advice on a nose job, she listened to Rachel pour on and on about how this possible nose job could improve everything. That's when she actually began to notice Rachel's face, before she simply blurred it out because she was so annoying. She saw that she was actually fairly attractive, and her eyes, they were the things she noticed the most. Deep chocolate brown and full of innocence. She admitted to herself even then she found her adorable. And that's when she came up with the idea of the mash up of I Feel Pretty/Unpretty, mainly this was just a way to spend more time with Rachel. But after this Quinn realised her image at the school was slipping and moved back to Finn so they could become Prom King and Queen. She had been thinking for so long she didn't realise Rachel was awake and staring at her with those big brown eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing" she lied, she needed more time to think of how she was going to explain this to her, "I think I had better get up, I have to go home and do things."

"But you're still coming over later right?" she panicked.

"Yeah, I mean if you still want me to?"

Rachel smiled and nodded.

They uncurled themselves and Quinn slid out of bed to give the brunette some privacy to change, she stepped out of the room and closed the door.

"Quinn there you are" it was Brittany, "What were you doing in there?" she heard someone else moving inside, "who's in there?"

"Its noting Britt" she said pulling her away from the door "you're still giving me a ride home right?"

"Of course Santana is already waiting in the car"

Quinn was glad that Brittany forgot things easily. She stepped out into the cool air and breathed deeply, it helped clear her head. She climbed in the back seat as she heard Santana say

"Well I guess that party wasn't a total drag"

"No I guess not" she agreed.

"I cant believe you kissed that dwarf though"

Quinn frowned at what she called Rachel.

"If that had been me I would have gone all Lima Heights and protested, I mean did you see her face after? She actually looked pleased about it or something."

"Yeah" she replied lazily. She began to tune out Santana's insults, she didn't want to hear them.

"What's up with you Q?" Santana demanded.

"Oh nothing, I'm just tired" she lied.

She was relieved when they finally pulled up outside her house.

"See you on Monday!" she head Brittany shout, she casually lifted her hand and waved.

She opened the front door and immediately headed for her room.

"Quinny! How was the party?"

"Fine Mom, but I'm tired so I'm having a nap and then I'm going to Rachel's"

She turned round to carry on walking up the stairs when her mother spoke again.

"Rachel who? Rachel Berry?"

Quinn nodded.

"I thought you didn't like that girl very much?"

"Its just a Glee Club thing mom" she lied, she didn't want or know how to explain right now.

When she got to her room she closed the door behind her before lying on her bed, sighing heavily.

Okay Quinn we can do this, we survived last night so yeah, we can do this!

She never knew why she always tried to give herself more confidence, it never worked. She set her alarm to go off in two hours time and rolled over. A feeling of uncertainty settled in her stomach as she drifted off to sleep.

She felt like she had only been asleep for five minutes before a soft buzzing noise work her, it was her phone. She looked at the bright screen and saw one name, Rachel. She opened the text.

Hi Quinn, its Rachel. Just wondering what time you'll be coming round?

She smiled at how impatient the girl was and replied

Taking a nap will be there in two hours

And with that she drifted back off to sleep.

Two hours, wow that's not long I must start preparing

The brunette jumped off her bed, smoothing the sheets. She stepped into the shower sighing at the hot water hitting her body. She took out her citrus body lotion which she only used on special occasions and rubbed it all over her body before putting on her matching deep red bra and panties. She didn't know why she choose to wear a pair of her sexiest underwear, she didn't expect anything of that nature to happen later. Nether the less she pulled on her dark skinny jeans and fitted tank.

She stood there staring at herself in the mirror in the exact same position she was last night. She zipped up her dark blue baby doll dress and she was ready. She didn't even bother to encourage herself this time, she simply walked out the door.

"Mom, I'm leaving now"

"Okay, let me know if you need dinner or anything"

Once in the car she immediately turned on the radio and began to sing, it calmed her slightly.

Okay I need to decide how I'm going to do this, and what I'm going to say.

But the ride to Rachel's was too short to let her think. She pulled up outside and sat there staring at Rachel's house. A few minutes later and she saw the brunette standing on the front porch, beckoning her to come in. She laughed because she must have been waiting for her to pull up. She stepped out the car and slowly walked towards Rachel, she held out her arms and stepped into Quinn. She took a deep breath as Rachel's hair covered her face.

She always smells so good.

She took Quinn's hand in hers and led her into the house. Quinn had been in the Berry household before, but under different circumstances she actually paid attention to her surroundings. There were many photos lining the hallway, the majority of them were of Rachel at different ages at various singing competitions. But then she saw there were a few of her dads posing together, beaming at one another. You see Rachel wasn't brought up the "normal" way, she was raised by her two gay dads and Quinn admired them for that. She felt a tug at her hand and Rachel began to lead her up the stairs. Her eyes glued to the brunettes behind, the way the tight jeans hugged her curves and her hips swayed as she stepped. When they got to her bedroom Rachel shut the door behind them.

"But your dads?"

"They are out" she said smiling.

Quinn wasn't to keen on that smile, she wanted to take things slow.

"Sit" Rachel said pointing to the bed.

Quinn perched herself awkwardly at the end while Rachel made herself comfortable at the top.

"So…" there was an awkward silence, Rachel could see she was going to have to be the one to break it.

"I'm just a little confused about this you know, well I mean you're you" Quinn frowned "no I didn't mean it like that, I just mean our history, we haven't exactly been best friends in the past"

Quinn looked down.

"Rachel, I hate myself for how ive treated you. It wasn't right. I was obsessed with a stupid reputation which doesn't really get you anywhere in high school," she looked up at Rachel "but you have to know, I'm never going to treat you like that ever again"

"Thank you, but I still don't understand how this happened, why you… like me"

"I'm not quite sure, I mean I knew I felt different after the kiss, but I thought it was the alcohol, and then I saw you undressing"

"Wait what" Rachel stammered.

"No I mean I went to check if the den was free and I undone the door and you was there, you know" she trailed off.

Nice one Quinn.

"Its okay, I just didn't realise you saw me, please go on"

She went on to explain how she felt she liked Rachel when they had spent time with each other a few months back.

"Why are you smiling?" she asked the brunette.

"Because," she said moving closer to Quinn "that was the moment I knew I liked you"

Once again she took Quinn's hand into hers and looked deeply into those hazel eyes.

"I saw the Quinn no one else see's, the gently Quinn, the Quinn who loved old movies, reading classic novels and didn't once mention anything to do with cheerleading. I'm not going to pretend it didn't hurt me when you went back to your old ways. And when you got me in spin the bottle I was so scared you was going to say no"

They sat in silence for a moment taking in everything that had just been said. Quinn couldn't help but notice how their reasons for liking each other were so similar.

"So what does this mean now?" Rachel asked.

"I like you, but I don't want to take this slow, which means I don't want anyone to know, yet. And I also want to do this right."

She looked down and saw Rachel beaming, she loved how she could make her smile like that.

"So are we together then? Like girlfriends"

Quinn took a deep breath.

"Rachel Berry, would you do me the fantastic honour of becoming my girlfriend?"

The small brunette squealed!

"Yes, yes Quinn!" She dived forwards placing a firm kiss on her lips. The familiar spark ran through her.

Is that always going to happen

Quinn placed her hands on Rachel's hips and squeezed pulling her closer. Their lips moved together like they were made for each other. Quinn could feel pressure building in her chest where she needed to breath but she didn't want to break this. She began to pull away slightly and opened her eyes to see Rachel with hers still closed, lips pouting. She leant forward again and gently bit her bottom lip and pulled away.

"Stay tonight" Rachel blurted quickly.

"I don't know if"

"Nothing has to happen, I just like you being here."

"Okay" she smiled, she still wasn't sure if it was the best thing to do but she liked making Rachel happy.

They spent the rest of the night laying on the bed watching old movies and eating the vegetarian pizza she had ordered. Quinn wasn't normally someone who ate anything vegetarian but she said she would make her best effort for Rachel, and in fact she rather enjoyed it.

"I'm going to take you on a date tomorrow"

Did I really just say that out loud

"Oh really, and to where may I ask?"

"Oh, that's a secret"

"Quinn!" she exclaimed throwing a pillow at her.

"Hey! There will be no violence or the date is off" they both laughed.

"Its getting kind of late and you already know what I think about my beauty sleep" Rachel smirked.

Crap I don't have any pyjamas

"Uh, because I didn't plan on staying I don't have anything to you know, wear"

"So… you'll sleep naked"

"WHAT!"

"Quinn I'm kidding" she laughed "do you mind wearing something of mine?"

Quinn shook her head and Rachel reached in her draw and handed it to her, she gestured towards the bathroom. Once inside she looked at what Rachel had given her, a tank and shorts. She put them on, they were slightly small being that the brunette was shorter then she was. The shorts rode up showing much of her inner thigh and the tank barely covered her navel. She stood for a few moments staring into the mirror pulling the hem of the shirt down before she heard Rachel.

"Quinn? Is everything alright, you've been in there for quite a long time"

She pulled the door open.

"Yeah I'm fine" she still hand one hand holding the bottom of the shirt down.

There was a knock at the door and it opened.

"Rachel honey me and, oh Quinn, I haven't seen you in some time"

She smiled awkwardly.

"Just having a sleepover Dad"

"Well you girls have fun, but keep the noise down, remember your father has to be up early tomorrow"

"Okay night Dad"

"Night girls" he eyed Quinn as he closed the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Dad, he doesn't like me" she looked down.

"Oh shush" she took Quinn's hand again, she liked it whenever she took her hand, she felt safe. "He does, it might not seem like it, but I know he does okay?"

"You promise?" she pouted.

"I promise" and with that she leaned forward and kissed Quinn, her hands fell to her hips and grabbed as they began to walk backwards towards the bed. As Quinn's body lowered on top of Rachel's she felt her small hands around her back, then she felt her fingernails drag down. A deep moan came from somewhere inside her which she was not expecting. This surged Rachel on and she done it again. She loved hearing Quinn make these noises and knowing her was responsible for them. Their mouths continued to move together in perfect unison until another loud moan erupted, this time not from Quinn. She hadn't realised that as she had been kissing the brunette she had been slowing rotating her hips into her pelvis, and that moan and sent a pool of wetness straight between her legs. She wanted to do so much to her there and then but she pulled away.

"You want to take things slow" Rachel said before Quinn had the chance.

"Yeah I'm sorry, I mean it's not like I don't want to because, I want to"

"I know, its fine, I just get a bit carried away in the moment" she laughed.

Quinn was happy that Rachel understood and cared that she wanted to take things slow, in the past it hadn't exactly worked out before for her. She slid off Rachel and moved into their familiar position with Rachel's hand around her waist.

"Tomorrow should be fun" the brunette said before placing one final kiss on the blondes lips.

"It wont be fun if you don't get your precious beauty sleep" she teased.

"Goodnight Quinn"

"Goodnight Rach"

Holy shit I'm taking Rachel Berry on a date tomorrow!
