Forever And A Day || Season 1 || Quinn Fabray Story

22. Movie Night.

Ryan
I was on my bike in front of Quinn on the way home, she took the same route as me, since her house was literally around the corner, one block down. But I beat her to it. I took a short cut, while she obviously took the usual route home. I pulled up into my driveway and turned the engine off. Getting out and leaning against my my bike waiting for Quinn to come by my house in her little red beetle.

"Asshole" She said out her window as she drove up and stopped in front of my drive way. I smirked back at her saying nothing. "You really have nothing to say for yourself?" She continued to look over at me and then just as she was about to drive off again, she stuck her middle finger up at me before driving off down the street. It was so un-Quinn like that it made me love her all the more.

Wait love? As a friend right? We've been over this. Ryan.

I sent her a text that told her I'd leave the door unlocked and that I'd be taking a quick shower, so she could let herself in.

I walked upstairs, dumped my gym bag and school bag on my bedroom floor by my desk and walked to the bathroom. A quick shower later and I got out, towel dried my hair a little and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked out of the bathroom and walked into my room. I was about to whip the towel from around my waist, but luckily looked up just in time at the sound of a small gasp to find Quinn sat on the edge of my bed, wide eyed.

"Oh shit" I said, pulling the towel firmly around my hips and running a hand through my hair, nervously, which made her look at me nervously. She looked at me up and down, seeing that I was just in a towel, that was now slightly bunched up around my waist, from the panic. "Way to sneak up on me!" I said with a nervous laugh moving into the room and heading towards my dresser. Taking out a pair of boxers.

"Ummm" She said looking just as shocked to see me in this state of undress. I looked over at her and she looked like she didn't know what to do with herself. "I'll um..." She blushed and went to stand to leave pointing to the door.

"No... don't worry" I said and she sat down slowly again "I'll just um..." I said pointing to the door, then grabbing some sweatpants and leaving the room. I couldn't help but notice her look me up and down as I left again. Which I gulped at, not knowing how to take that.

Coming back into the room I asked "Right, well, Um, what food do you like?" She looked back at me, which was a good thing, she could now look at me properly, now that I'm more clothed. I tried to not make it awkward, wanting to forget the whole ordeal.

"Um... I don't mind" She said with a smile.

"I was thinking Italian?" I said raising an eyebrow. I still half had my shirt on so I pulled it on properly and waited for her response.

"Yeah Italian sounds good" She said with a smile "Sorry, for just letting myself in here, you said the front door was unlocked, not your bedroom door and..." She said quietly and rambling slightly.

"No, don't worry about it" I said shaking my head. Then looked down at the floor. She blushed before smiling at me again when I lifted my gaze to meet hers.

"Right come on, then" I said gesturing for her to head downstairs before me.

"When you said Italian, I thought you meant ordering it from Breadstix" Quinn said as she sat at the kitchen island, watching me cook as I stood at the stove.

"Ordering?" I asked stirring the contents of the pot I was cooking in. "No... I can cook. I don't live on take out if I don't have to" I said with a smile.

She smiled back at me "Are you sure there's nothing I can do?" She said looking a little fidgety.

"No, just sit tight" I said with a smile.
