Chapter 4
This time Rachel woke up before Quinn and managed to slip out of bed without waking her.
She's an angel
When Quinn woke up she felt her hand across the bed looking for Rachel to pull her close but when she felt she wasn't there she sat up quickly.
OH MY GOD! She's left me, she's left me alone in her house with her father who hates me and clothes that are way too small! Okay, its okay we can work this out, just find some clothes and make a run for it.
She jumped out of bed and began rummaging through Rachel's drawers.
"Quinn, what are you doing?"
"Oh jeeze" she gasped holding her chest "I panicked because I woke up and you wasn't here and"
"I was just making you breakfast silly" she said holding out a plate of strawberry pancakes smiling.
"I am such an idiot" she said covering her face.
"Only a little" Rachel said parting her hands and kissing her "now come, eat my pancakes"
They sat together on the bed and began eating.
"So what's happening today then?" Rachel asked.
"I told you, that's a secret" to be honest she didn't quite know "I need to go home and sort a few things out first"
"Hmm well okay, I don't like this whole not knowing thing, but I'm sure whatever you do will be perfect"
Oh god what am I going to do now, I don't want to ruin this
She slipped her blue dress back on just to leave in and stopped at the front porch to say goodbye.
"I'll pick you up at seven"
"I look forward to it"
She kissed Rachel on the cheek and got in her car. Once again as soon as she stepped through the front door her mother was there again.
Does she always wait there or something
"Quinn, you're home early, enjoy yourself"
Something about the tone in the way she asked the question worried Quinn.
"Yeah Mom, I had a really nice time actually, we're going out again tonight"
"Again? After everything I've heard you say about that girl?"
"Rachel's cool Mom, and I feel terrible for the things I said and she knows that"
"Well I'm glad honey"
Indicating that that was the end of the conversation she left quickly for her room, once inside she switched her brain into full thinking mode.
A list yes! That would be a good idea.
She grabbed a pen and pad, she had many of them lying around and began making date ideas.
Okay you need something good, simple but good. But wait, Rachel's not exactly a simple girl. Think Quinn think.
Her hand ran across the page completely covering it in every date idea imaginable until she came up with the perfect one.
"Perfect" she said smiling to herself.
"She reached over grabbing her phone and opened up a new text to Rachel.
Q- Hey its me, wear jeans and a hoodie tonight, something warm ;)
R- You know you're not helping me guess very easily
Q- All in good fun Rach
Now it was time for herself to get ready. Going on her own advice for Rachel she put on her black skinny jeans and a read hoodie. She curled the ends of her hair around before adding light mascara and red lipstick.
All ready, here goes nothing.
She went downstairs and collected everything she would need for tonight and placed them in the back of her car. Her stomach flipped. What if she didn't like her idea. She had been on plenty of dates before but none of them had been this important to her.
If she doesn't like this, I'll kill her.
She laughed to herself and climbed into her car. Another short drive and she was there. She leant in the back and pulled a blanket down to make sure things were hidden from view. Once she was sure it was safe she left the car and knocked on Rachel's front door. She was surprised when it was one of Rachel's dads who opened it.
"Oh…hi, is Rachel home? We was meant to be going out"
"Oh yes come in come in, she is almost ready" he ushered her through the door.
Well I like this Dad more.
"Can I get you anything to drink Quinn?"
"Oh no thank you, I'm fine" she sat awkwardly on the sofa.
A few minutes passed before her Dad asked another question, probably to break the tension that was building.
"So how is school going for you Quinn?"
"It's good thanks, I love English and I want to do something in that profession I think, but Glee Club is the best part of my day for sure" she blushed because she loved Glee because of Rachel.
"Oh I do love a good sing song" he said jumping up and sprinting towards their grand piano/
"Woah, Dad! What are you doing?"
Quinn turned around quickly, she looked beautiful.
God even in simple clothes she looks gorgeous.
Her hair was straight and up in a ponytail and she wore a dark purple hoodie with white jeans.
"You look…lovely" she didn't want to sound too obvious in front of her Dad.
"Thank you" she smiled "So do you"
"Well ladies, any idea what time you'll be home, it is a school night after all"
"I'll have her home by ten Mr Berry"
They headed for the front door and Rachel opened it. Once in the safety of the car where they were alone Rachel said
"You look beautiful tonight" she leaned forward and kissed the blonde, "Now tell me where we are going"
Quinn smiled and started the engine. But the pleading didn't stop there, for the next ten minutes Rachel begged and begged her to tell but Quinn just sat there in silence.
"You're really going to ignore me, on our date", she said as they pulled up to a red light "fine, then I'm getting out"
She reached to pull the door handle open but Quinn was too quick for her and pushed down the auto lock button. Rachel huffed crossing her arms and looked out of the window away from Quinn. She laughed.
So cute.
She placed her hand on Rachel's thigh palm up, but Rachel only turned to face the window more.
Fine if that's how you want to play it
She turned her hand palm down and began lightly tracing her fingers up her thigh, she repeated this a few times before squeezing.
"Seriously Quinn! Where are we going? We are in the middle of no where… Oh my god you're not killing me right, I swear to God Quinn"
"Always the dramatic one hey, because I always run my fingers up and down the thighs of people I'm about to kill" she laughed "anyway we are here now" she said as they pulled up at the edge of a field.
"Wow Quinn a field, thank you so much it's what I always dreamed of"
She ignored the comment and reversed the car so it was facing and old barn.
"What are we doing?"
"We're going to fuck in that barn"
"WHAT" she screamed grabbing the door handle.
"See you don't like it when its happening to you do you" she laughed once more "kidding Rach, now, I need you to sit here for a moment and I beg you to not look at what I'm doing"
"Hm, for you I'll try"
She climbed out of the car grabbing two things and covered the rest. Rachel sat there in silence listening to Quinn do something on top of the car before the barn in front of her suddenly lit up. She was about to ask Quinn what was going on before the movie titles for Rent appeared on the side of the barn. Quinn climbed back in the car and rolled the windows down.
"Quinn this is… perfect, how did you even come up with this?"
"Well, I thought pretty hard, made a whole list but this just seemed like the one"
Rachel moved closer placing her hand on the side of Quinn's neck and kissed her deeply.
"You're going to miss the movie" Quinn mumbled and she gently sucked on Rachel's bottom lip.
"It would be worth it, but you've put so much effort into this" she said pulling away.
"Not much" she said grinning "Want a drink?"
"You brought drinks?"
"Ah I come, well prepared" the blonde winked.
Rachel bit her lip.
She leaned into the back pulling a basket over her lap and handed Rachel a blanket.
"But the barn, wont the farmer be mad?"
"Been abandoned for years, I checked"
"You really planned this out didn't you" Rachel whispered her eyes welling up.
"I told you, I want to do this right"
She took Rachel's hand in her own again.
"Now what would you like, we have Pepsi, 7UP, chocolate, popcorn, chocolate strawberry's"
"Wow so much, I'll let you pick" she said closing her eyes.
Quinn carefully picked up one of the chocolate strawberry's placing it onto the brunettes lips and she bit down.
"How did I guess" she laughed
They spent the rest of the night snuggled under the blanket, singing along with the songs and Quinn stared at Rachel as she repeated the dialogue.
"You really are going to be a star one day Rach"
"You think? Its everything I want, its me, it's what I'm meant to do"
"I know baby"
Did I just call her baby?
She looked up at Rachel and saw she was smiling.
"You know, I think I like you calling me baby even more then I love you calling me Rach"
"I'll keep that in mind, its best time I take you back, don't want to anger Dad"
They repacked everything into the back of the car and Quinn restarted the engine.
"Quinn, can I ask you something?"
Quinn's heart picked up speed, she didn't know why but something in the tone of Rachel's voice made her panic.
"Uh yeah, of course you can"
"What's going to happen tomorrow, you know, at school… People think you hate me"
Silence hit them for a few moments while Quinn thought.
"Well, I'm not ready to announce anything for certain yet but I'm not going to ignore you if that's what you think. How about I sit with you at lunch?"
"You would do that?" she smiled "But what about Santana and Brittany, wont they be mad?"
"Santana maybe, but I don't care what they think and neither should you, I only care about what you think" she squeezed Rachel's hand.
"Well, I would like that very much thank you Quinn"
By the time the conversation had ended they were back at Rachel's.
"I had a great time tonight Quinn, I never knew something could be so thoughtful of me," she leaned over and wrapped her arms around her.
"Well I'm here now to make you feel like that all the time, its what you deserve" she went to kiss the brunettes forehead but she looked up at Quinn at the same time and their lips met once more. A happy sigh came from Rachel.
"Thank you Quinn"
"You don't need to thank me, hm I was thinking, do you want a ride to school tomorrow."
The brunette beamed.
"That would be lovely"
"I'll pick you up at eight then"
Rachel climbed out of the car and Quinn watched her walk away, as she reached the porch she turned and blew a kiss, Quinn grinned and blew one back.
Okay, lets focus on tomorrow, school.
