Somewhere in the world tonight
someone's falling in love for the first time.
"I have classes at 9 which means I have to get going now, but I'll see you tonight, okay?" Rachel says as she walks through the apartment and puts on her coat.
"Okay." Quinn answers and leans in to kiss her roommate.
"Bye." Rachel says shyly.
"Bye." One last kiss and the door's closed.
Quinn grabs her phone and calls a number.
"Hey, bitch. Took you long enough to call me." A familiar voice sounds through the phone.
"I have something to tell you. Meet me at the coffee shop in five."
"If you're not here in five, I swear-" Click. Quinn hangs up and smirks.
"It's been twenty minutes." Santana says as she eats her fries.
"Good to see you too, S." Quinn smiles as she sits at the chair in front of the Latina.
"What's with the smile?"
"What smile?"
"That one on your face."
"I always smile." Quinn replies simply as she orders burger and fries to the waitress.
"So, wanna tell me why you asked me to meet you here?"
"Um, yeah, I have some bad news." Quinn says looking down.
"Don't joke around, Q." Santana tenses up as Quinn is still silent.
"I think I'm falling in love."
"Wow, you're fucked." Santana replies smirking after she gasped in surprise.
"I am."
"Well, congrats on the love train, Q. Looks like you're going to be stuck with hobbit for a looong time."
"Don't call her that." Quinn glares.
"Fine. Does she know this?"
"Nope."
"Are you going to tell her?"
"Nope." Quinn pops the p and Santana hits her arm.
"Ow, what the hell, S." Quinn winces.
"You know what to do. Man up." Santana simply says.
"I don't know if she feels the same."
"She does." Santana rolls her eyes.
"She does?" Quinn is surprised.
"Ask her yourself, bitch. You think I'm your private messenger?" Santana glares as Quinn remains silent while eating her food.
"Candles, check. Rose petals, check. Wine, check. Vegan lasagna, check. Now, I just wait." Quinn says to herself. Ten minutes later, the sound of keys being inserted to the lock is heard. The sound was just as loud as Quinn's heart beating in her chest.
"What is- Quinn?" Rachel asks as she gasps and puts a hand on her mouth when she looks at their apartment that is now full with rose petals and candles.
"Evening. You look beautiful." Quinn says whistfully while smiling. She takes Rachel's coat and hangs it.
"I've just had one of the longest days in my life, and I'm sure I don't look as good as you." Rachel laughs a bit.
"Trust me, no one looks as beautiful as you do now."
"Well, then, thank you." Rachel blushes.
"Now, will you do the honor of having dinner with me?" Quinn asks, pointing to their dining table.
"Yes, I will." Rachel walks to the table and Quinn pulls out her chair for her.
"Wine?" Quinn asks as she grabs a bottle of wine and pours some to Rachel's glass and her own.
"This is so fancy. What's the occassion?" Rachel asks after sipping some wine.
"Nothing. Can't I just treat you a nice dinner?" Quinn smiles.
"Okay then. Let's eat." Rachel smiles and they start eating.
"You're staring, Quinn." Rachel says while smiling looking at her lasagna.
"What? You're not even looking at me." Quinn says denying the fact that she indeed was staring at Rachel. Rachel snorts and Quinn blushes. They talk until dinner finishes, but Quinn isn't finished.
"Come with me?" Quinn asks after they finish dinner.
"Wherever you wanna go." Rachel answers without a beat. Hand in hand, Quinn leads them to their balcony. They sit side by side looking at the night stars.
"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you and everything you do." Quinn sings softly into Rachel's ear and Rachel giggles. They stay silent for a while just admiring the night sky.
"Rach, I have something to tell you." Quinn says looking deeply into Rachel's brown eyes. Before Rachel could say something, she puts her finger on Rachel's mouth.
"Don't ramble. I know you tend to do when you're nervous, but you don't have to be, and I need you to not say anything until I finish." Rachel nods.
"Okay. I think I'm falling in love with you." Quinn holds in a breath. After a silence moment that seems like forever, Rachel snorts.
"That's it? You're finished?" Quinn laughs with her and releases the breath she was holding.
"That was the point, but well, I guess I can add some things if you want. You're perfect to me. I like the way you say my name, I like the way you always tell me about your day, I like the way you put your head on my shoulder when we watch movies, I like the way you get angry when someone insults the things you love, I like the way you look so perfect without even trying, but mostly I like the way you always look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world." Quinn says wistfully looking into Rachel's teary eyes.
"That was the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me." Rachel says softly with tears falling down her cheeks.
"Shh," Quinn wipes the tears off her cheek and kissed her eyes.
"And there will be more beautiful things I look forward to say to you." Quinn kisses Rachel's forehead and smiles.
"You know what, Quinn Fabray?" Rachel says, while Quinn hums in reply.
"I think I'm falling for you."
