No Strings

chapter 21

"Hey Quinn." Rachel said as she walked up to the table Quinn was sitting at.

"Hey Rae." Quinn stood up to give Rachel a hug, "How are you? More specifically, how are you and Finn."

Rachel laughed, "We are amazing. Being with Finn is amazing."

Quinn smiled, "You love him." Quinn said matter-of-factly.

Rachel smiled, "I do.."

"Oh my goodness! Does he know?"

"No, we haven't verbally said it yet, but we have kind of an understanding that we love one another. I plan on saying it next week though."

Quinn smiled, "You two are so cute. I want to be your maid of honor. I mean, I did technically get you two together."

Rachel rolled her eyes, "You and Puck are always going to use that against us."

"It's not like anyone else was going to be your maid of honor anyways." Quinn shrugged as the waitress came to the table.

"Hi, my name is Kitty, are you guys ready to order drinks?"

"Sprite please."

"Water."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

"Can you believe we are dating football players..who are best friends and on top of that love us."

Rachel shook her head, "It all seems too good to be true. I'm just waiting for something to happen."

"Rachel, you are always looking at the bad side of things, why can't you just look on the good side for once."

"Quinn, you know in high school I was never the type of girl that a football player wood even consider dating. Especially the captain and quarterback of the football team. It's just a matter of time until he falls in love with some blonde cheerleader and leaves me."

"Rachel! This isn't high school anymore! I'm sure Finn loves you more than anything else in this world. I'm not just saying that either, I watched you both when we were at Corinne's house. Finn loves you, anybody that knows you two can see it. If he heard what you were saying right now think about how hurt he would be at how little you think of him. I don't really know Finn as much as you and Puck know him, but I do know him enough to know that he has a big heart."

Rachel looked down at the table knowing she was right, "I know. I guess I'm just paranoid."

"Very." Quinn nodded just as the waitress came back with their drinks and took their orders.

"Enough about Finn and I. How i-"

"I'm sorry, are you talking about Finn Hudson, the football player?"

Rachel looked up and smiled at the waitress think she was a fan of her boyfriend, "The one and only."

"Is-is he your boyfriend?"

"Yes he is." Rachel said proudly.

Kitty frowned before quickly walking away.

Rachel frowned, "That was weird. She looked mad when I said that."

"One of the downsides to being the girlfriend of a hot football player. All the women start throwing themselves at them. I wouldn't worry about it though." Quinn shrugged.

Rachel nodded and looked in the direction of where the waitress went before shrugging it off, "Anyways, how are you and Puck?"
