Number (Quinn/Quick)

"I don't normally interrupt what looks like a girls' night, but you're so beautiful. I wanted to introduce myself."

"Oooh." The girls teased Quinn.

"I'm Theo." The boy added, unphased by the taunting.

"Quinn." Quinn responded.

"Well, like I said, I don't wanna interrupt your night, so could I get your number?" Theo asked. "Maybe we can talk over coffee?"

"She'd love that." Santana chimed in, looking at Quinn.

"Yeah, okay." Quinn nodded, digging through her bag for a piece of paper. "I forgot my phone so let me write my number down."

"You can just put it into my phone." Theo said.

"Right." Quinn replied. "Sure."

Theo handed Quinn his phone and she quickly typed her number into it before handing it back.

"Okay." Theo smiled. "Have a good night, ladies."

"Bye." Brittany waved as Theo walked away.

"Everywhere we go, you get hit on." Tina commented.

"Mama's still got it." Mercedes grinned. "Look at you moving on from Puck."

"Crap." Quinn muttered, her eyes widening.

"What?" Rachel asked.

"I think I just gave him the apartment phone number instead of my cell." Quinn said.

"How is that even possible?" Tina wondered.

"I've been putting it on all of Beth's school forms and I didn't have it memorized so I've been, like, studying it." Quinn stated as she turned to Santana. "We have to go find that guy."

"He's not gonna call you for coffee right now." Santana shook her head. "Forget about it and let's just have fun."

"Sam's hanging out with Noah tonight, right?" Quinn questioned Mercedes. "Can you ask him to intercept any and all phone calls?"

"I'll text him." Mercedes promised. "But Quinn, Santana's right. He's not gonna call tonight."

"What if he leaves a message or something?" Quinn wondered.

"Why are you so worried about this?" Rachel asked. "You're the one who broke up with Puck, aren't you?"

"It's complicated." Quinn said. "We live together, and I respect him enough to tell him when I start seeing someone else."

"But you don't have to." Brittany pointed out.

"Yeah, hasn't he been seeing other people?" Mercedes wondered.

Santana nodded. "Nothing serious 'cause it's Puck, but still."

"I care about him and I don't wanna hurt him." Quinn explained. "And more importantly, we both want Beth to see that we can still get along and be a normal family."

None of the girls said anything.

"I'm gonna get another drink." Quinn decided as she got up. "Anyone need a refill?"

-

At the end of the night, the girls closed their tab and walked outside. They began saying their goodbyes, promising to text when they arrived home before leaving in pairs: Rachel with Tina, Santana with Brittany, and Quinn with Mercedes.

When Quinn and Mercedes got to Quinn's apartment, Quinn unlocked the door and led the way inside.

"Hey. We're back."

"Hey." Sam smiled as he got up to greet Mercedes. "How was your night?"

"We had a really good time." Mercedes answered. "How was everything here?"

"Everything was good." Sam said, winking at Quinn. "We should take off. Ready to go?"

"Yeah." Mercedes nodded as she hugged Quinn. "Bye, Quinn."

"Bye." Quinn replied. "Thanks for dragging me out tonight."

"Anytime." Mercedes grinned as she and Quinn parted. "Bye, Puck."

"Bye, Mercedes." Puck waved as he got up to walk them out. "Bye, Sam."

"Bye, bro." Sam said, shaking Puck's hand. "See ya."

"See ya."

Quinn and Puck walked Sam and Mercedes to the door, watching until the couple disappeared.

Quinn watched as Puck closed the door. She eyed the beer bottles on the table. "Beth's asleep?"

"Hours ago." Puck said. "I'm gonna clean up in here and hit the hay, too."

"Okay." Quinn nodded.

"How was your girls' night?" Puck wondered.

"Fun." Quinn answered. "We drank, we danced, my feet are killing me."

"Sounds like a good time." Puck noted.

"How was your night with Sam?" Quinn asked.

"We drank and played video games." Puck told Quinn. "So, good."

"Good." Quinn echoed. "I think I'm gonna wash up and turn in, too."

"Before you do, you might wanna check the answering machine." Puck suggested as he clicked through it and put it on speaker. "Sam went to take a phone call so I was checking the voicemails, but I'm pretty sure it's for you."

Quinn furrowed her eyebrows as the voicemail began to play.

"Hey, Quinn. It's Theo. I know I said coffee, but I can't stop thinking about how gorgeous you are, and I just wanna have fun tonight. Meet me at-"

"Turn that off." Quinn ordered, walking over to it and clicking it off. She looked at Puck.

"I get that we agreed we would see other people." Puck began. "But you don't have to have random guys call the phone we share to keep track of things for Beth."

"It was an accident." Quinn muttered.

"An accident?" Puck repeated. "You asked me to watch Beth so you could go out with the girls, not so you could go hook up with a guy."

"Okay, first of all, I didn't hook up with anyone, and second of all, not that I owe you an explanation at this point, but I meant to give him my cell number." Quinn explained. "I've had the apartment number in my head from filling out all of Beth's school forms and I mixed it up."

Puck didn't say anything.

"If you really think I would ever do something to hurt you then-"

"You dumped me." Puck interrupted. "You don't think that hurt me?"

Quinn bit her lip. "I was trying to make sure Beth didn't get hurt."

Puck furrowed his eyebrows.

"I love you, and I wanna be with you, but..." Quinn shrugged. "I think about how much we'll hurt her if we screw things up."

"So let's not screw things up." Puck decided.

Quinn looked at him.

"If we both want it, we can do this." Puck stated. "And I do. I want you and Beth, and I know we can make things work."

"I want that, too." Quinn said softly. "You really think we won't ruin everything?"

"We can do this." Puck promised.

"Okay." Quinn smiled. "Then let's do it."
