CHAPTER SIX
The next day…
Quinn woke up and Rachel's arms and was the happiest she's ever been. She nuzzled into Rachel's neck and lightly kissed the smaller girl's lips to wake her up. Rachel groaned and then opened her big, brown eyes.
"Good Moring beautiful," Quinn said with another kiss.
"Wow, we only made things official last night and we've already slept together," Rachel giggled.
"Thank God, for Kurt and Santana, otherwise this little sleepover wouldn't have been possible."
Rachel nodded her head in agreement.
Quinn held on to Rachel tightly, "Do you really have to go to rehearsals today?"
"Sadly, I have to. Although, I wish I could cuddle in bed with you all day," Rachel said while returning the tight squeeze. "I love you, Quinn."
"I love you too, Rachel," Both of the women loved how those words sounded coming from the other.
At rehearsals; Rachel POV
"Okay, Berry, so either you burnt yourself with the curling iron this morning or maybe, just maybe, you and Quinn had sex while you left your one and only child in Kurt and my care." Santana said sneaking up on Rachel in her dressing room.
Rachel was in the middle of covering her love bites with makeup, but sadly her best friend saw right through her.
"For your information, Quinn and I did not consummate our relationship, yet. We only just became official last night, she's so wonderful and sweet and cute and ah," Rachel turned around in her makeup chair to face the Latina, "San… I think Quinn's… the one."
Santana stared at Rachel wide-eyed and grabbed a chair to sit right in front of Rachel. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, just, slow down. You and Quinn just starting dating and you guys only met a few months ago."
"I know Santana, it's just, I've never felt this way before and I have this gut feeling that Quinn is it for me."
"Look, I'm happy for you I really am—"
Rachel cuts Santana off and tries, "But…"
"But, I think you guys need to slow it down a lot and actually take the time to grow and know each other. I mean, all of this happened really fast."
"I know it happened quickly it's just been something so natural that it just works. Look, I appreciate you being concerned about my budding romance, but with all due respect… butt out."
"Fine, I'll let you do you," Santana returned the chair she got to its original spot and left Rachel alone to think.
Rachel didn't think her and Quinn were going fast at all, I mean, yeah, they've already said I love you's, but that's just the way they feel about one another.
There was a knock at Rachel's dressing room door and she was met with the face of Sam Evans, her hot blonde co-star of her latest Broadway production.
"Hi Sam, come on in," Rachel said with a gracious smile.
Rachel enjoyed working with the blonde boy. He was hilarious and the sweetest guy Rachel had ever met. Rachel had to admit she thought the boy was cute, but she's head over heels in love with Quinn, so she'd never pursue it.
"Hey Rachel, I was about to head out to go get some lunch and I was wondering if you'd like to join me?"
"That's very sweet of you Sam. I am quite hungry, just let me put my stuff away and I'll be right out."
"Cool, I'll be waiting in the theater." Sam left with a winning smile while Rachel gathered her things.
Rachel was almost set to go when she was met with Santana with a confused look on her face.
"May I help you, Santana?" Rachel asked, annoyed since she's ready to go eat.
"Am I crazy or did I just hear you accept a date with trouty mouth?"
"First of all, would you stop calling him that horrible name? Second, I am simply going to lunch with a friend."
"Yeah, but to him it's probably a date."
"Whatever, Santana." Rachel throws her purse on her shoulder and walks out of her dressing room, appalled by her friend's accusations.
Lunch with Sam…
Rachel was seated at an outdoor area of the restaurant with Sam while enjoying a wonderful tomato basil wrap. Her and Sam had a lot in common and the boy's crazy antic always kept her laughing.
"So, who was I?" Sam asked after doing an impression.
"Obviously, you were the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz, duh!" Rachel and Sam were a bowl of giggles and could not stop laughing. Rachel opened her eyes after laughing so hard and she was met with a camera flash. Rachel was in a particularly good mood so she started posing with Sam, making goofy faces and playing with the remainder of their food. The paps seemed satisfied with the pictures they got and left the too alone. Rachel and Sam continued to laugh when Rachel's phone started ringing. She looked down at the caller ID and it was Quinn calling.
"You can answer that if you want, I don't mind," Sam offered.
"Oh no, that would be rude, I can call her back later," Rachel hit the ignore button and continued chatting with Sam.
Five minutes later, her phone rang again, only this time it was Kurt on the caller ID which meant it was Lia. "Sorry I have to take this."
Sam waved it off, telling her it was okay to answer.
Rachel answered her phone, "Hello?"
"Hi, mommy!" Lia's tiny voice shouted through the phone.
"Hey baby girl, how are you?"
"I'm good. Uncle Kurt took me shopping for school clothes, I can't wait to show you and Quinn!"
"I can't wait to see them!" Rachel said with just as much enthusiasm.
"You're gonna love them,"
"I'm sure I will. What else did you and Uncle Kurt do today?"
"Um after we shopped we ate ice cream in the park and now we are watching Disney movies all day!"
"That sounds great, sweetheart! Okay, so mommy is out with a friend right now so I got to go, but I'll see you in about two hours okay?"
"How long is that?"
"About a showing of Lion King one and two, and I'll be back before Lion King two is over," Rachel smiled.
"That's not too bad!"
"Not at all. I love you, baby, be good for Kurt, okay?"
"I will. I love you too, mommy. Bye!"
Rachel smiled as she hung up the phone. "Sorry, I haven't spoken to my daughter since last night."
"That's fine. She sounds cute, how old is she?"
"She's three, turning four soon," Rachel absolutely loved talking about her daughter.
"Awh, I've heard you talk about her, but I didn't know much about her. I've seen her when you'd bring her to the theater with you." Sam said.
"Yeah, I can't bring her with me anymore since she's started pre-school,"
"Oh, that must've been hard to not have her with you all day," Sam said in understanding.
"It really was, but I think we've both gotten the hang of it now," Rachel said with a laugh.
Rachel and Sam left the restaurant shortly after and returned back to the theater to rehearse one scene and then Rachel was free to go home to be with one of her best friends and her daughter.
Quinn POV
Quinn was in her apartment watching Netflix with Mercedes.
"Q, what's up with you?" Mercedes asked when she noticed how quiet her best friend was being and how she kept checking her phone every two seconds.
"It's nothing. It's just I called Rachel earlier today and it rang once and then went straight to voicemail, which means she ignored my call."
"Oh calm down, Quinn. Maybe she was just busy and couldn't talk to you."
"Or maybe it's because she's freaked out and it has finally hit her that we exchanged 'I love you's'" Quinn said dejectedly.
"Whoa! Already?" Mercedes sat up quickly.
"Well, Yeah. Too soon?"
"Um, yeah. Just a little. You seriously already love her?"
"I really do."
"Did she say it back?"
"Yeah, but I don't know, maybe now she regrets it."
"You don't know that Quinn. Just call her later tonight, I'm sure she'll answer."
"Yeah, maybe she will…"
About an hour later Quinn called her girlfriend before she got into bed and the phone continued to ring, but was never answered. Quinn was getting paranoid, thinking Rachel didn't hit ignore this time because she knew that Quinn knew that she was ignoring her.
Little did Quinn know, Rachel wasn't purposely ignoring her, but was simply sleeping on the couch cuddled up to Kurt and Magnolia.
